I woke up at my not normal time of 8:30 am to attend my sons SEOP conference at school this morning, and by 6:25 pm this evening I have already had to have a nap. I have to admit, in a warped kind of way it was nice to feel like I was somewhat productive at such an early hour. And instead of wiping the sleepers out of my eyes and rolling over in my bed at 11:00 am I was coming home to get ready to make some positive soul inspiring changes to my bedroom. I've decided that my little house is far too little to be filled with so much random "stuff". Now mind you, I'm not a hoarder, but I do like to collect stuff and in the spirit of my Mom, I have something in mind for each and every item,. she collected fabric which came of necessity when sewing for 9 children, however by the 9th child, time was scarce and her prized fabric collection just got organized several thousand new ways; became outdated and gathered dust, rather than becoming the gorgeous matching outfits we paraded around in as wee tike's.
So ... I start in this quest to reorganize and dejunk my "stuff" get a good running start, just in time for my daughter Brooke to get up from her after shift sleep. Oh boys are so ridiculous, and girls are so emotional and me and Brooke are each others only sanity at times. Her newest boy "friend" that she secretly loves cause she is so amazing and gives her heart so completely to anyone who is not even remotely deserving of her, has got a case of the "my other girlfriends were all bitches and didn't mind being treated bad so whats your problem?" attitude going on and I'm going to scream! Either that or go pay that boy a visit, and really neither, cause my conscience will not allow me to be so randomly reckless. So instead, I listen to her, try to console her by telling her to just back off a little, focus on herself and try to give him some space to miss her. In the end all I can say that really resonates with me is that boys are dumb, and they just don't get girls at all. Even Jeff my awesome wonderful husband of 8.5 years is dumb and does not get girls, and has to be reminded that us girls are emotional beings that are created for the sole purpose of teaching boys lessons about their feelings and helping them learn to put their feelings to voice, its what we do the very best, and yet according to my 16 yr old son, (the expert) it is because of his and his girlfriends stellar communication skills that they are still together after all these... years.. eh hum months, I mean. Yea you get the picture, bless his heart, he may really be mature enough to handle such an adult like relationship, I'm not saying it couldn't happen, he has had more practice than all of my other kids in the relationship department, since he has had more girlfriends than I have had boyfriends and he is 16. So for all you boys out there, and especially one special boy who will not be named; Girls cry, and girls need LOTS of reassurance and time with our significant other, and attention spent, and face to face time to make sure we (meaning us) are good. And that does not mean, face to TV time or face to computer screen time, or face to text message time is even remotely acceptable! Give me that remote by the way!.... I need you to pay attention to me! I am not 6 years old, I am a grownup dang it.. and I won't be treated this way!.. ?? Where's my Mommy.... I think its time to go fabric shopping.
