Today was errand day! I had a To-Do list that was looming over my head so I packed up a freshly bathed baby girl and headed out. Can I just say that there is nothing like 6 months on the bus and hoofing it to make you appreciate riding in a nice cool car! It was 88° on this lovely March day and I could not be happier that I am not sitting at a bus stop with 2 gallons of water in my purse and a grumpy preschooler at my side. Haha 2 gallons of water would have to mean I carry one very large purse… so I may have exaggerated the amount but still.. it’s heavy!
In the car we drove by something that looked like a school and Ara said, “I want to go to big girl school, I don’t like mama school!”. Break my heart! I know that on errand day, mommy school does pretty much suck but it hurt a little all the same. I think Ara is telling me something.. she just might be ready. I think I will let myself feel a little sad about that right now. Don’t bother pointing out the positives, sometimes it’s ok to feel sad and I do!
I’m still coughing like a 50 year old smoker and I’m still grumpy-lady, and I just want to lie down and take a nap. Does it seem like being “sick” is more common now? I mean, it’s probably just my perspective but I don’t remember having this many colds any other time in my life.. so is it my age or the germy times?
A friend of mine on facebook just posted a picture of their new tattoo..
I don’t mean to offend anyone but I just don’t see why anyone would want permanent “clip art” on their body. I mean I have seen some people who go to artists and have something truly original and arguably beautiful done and even though I wouldn’t personally choose to do it I can appreciate it. But, really with the butterfly on your back? Or the flower on your ankle? All I am saying is that generic clip-art type tattoos are really not so much a personal expression of anything apart from "I like other people’s doodles so much I paid to have one drawn on my skin'”. To me, they seem like more of a label of conforming to a stereotype. One of my high school boyfriends had my initials tattooed on his chest as a valentines gift to me. It might have been more of a romantic gesture except that he also put a marijuana leaf on his back. It was like, “look, you and this leaf are like really important to me”. He showed me his raw skin and he looked so darn proud of himself. I was horrified. I tried to act enthusiastic but I really just wanted a card and maybe a balloon (balloons were all the rage as status symbols in HS)!
Oh, that reminds me of that song.. you know the one? Something like, “Just like a tattoo. I’ll always have you.” Yeah, that makes me laugh. Ridiculous lyrics and sentiment if you ask cynical me, which no one did, but like whatever!
Doodles are for scraps of paper you keep in your purse not for your butt!
Haha.
Sorry Facebook friend.. I can be such a jerk.
“Just like this scar on my right arm. I’ll always have you.”
“Just like this sarcastic take on pop lyrics. I’ll always have you.”
“Just like my craving for chocolate. I’ll always have you.”
