Dinosaur train

As I sit here watching dinosaur train with Jordan, I can't help but think of a million things I should be doing instead, like dishes, laundry, couponing, getting ready for the day, or of course blogging. I'm using my phone this time, so I don't have to bust the laptop out and get distracted by Facebook or Internet shopping. Really, I should be doing that on my laptop while couponing, blogging and watching dinosaur train, but why spread myself so thin?
I long for the days I can get stuff done around the house but the reality is that I have to get a million things to get done in Rockford today, that I don't actually want to do either. Such a dilemma! I can feel my eyes wanting to close since Jordan is enthralled with this dumb, damn show... Maybe I could take a small nap before I go back to thinking about everything I have to do today...

I didn't feel like waving either.

My dear neighbor mom-friend: don't feel bad that you didn't wave at me as I drove down the block. I saw your hands full of groceries. I knew you were trying to carry every last bag so you didn't have to make two trips.  And you know what, don't feel bad that you don't want me to realize your kids are sleeping in the car while you bring the groceries in, as I see the car is still running.  I always wonder who will call the cops when I do it, too. Dear down-the-street- mom-friend: don't feel guilty for not inviting my kids to your kids' birthday parties. It really is ok. We have so many things we can do together without the formality of a party and presents.  Speaking of presents: I really wanted to bake you something for moving to the neighborhood 4 years ago... But I forgot. But please know, the intention was there.  Dear fellow mom: thank you for watching my kids even though I know your plans weren't involving my sweeties. I hope you don't regret gi...

It's not a waste of time, if it made someone feel better

Today I did something I never, ever thought I would actually do. I stood up to someone for a hurting friend that couldn't find the right words express her heart. It was NONE of my business, had nothing to do with me, and I did what I did the most 'high-school' way possible. I may or may not have been a B. EH, who am I kidding, it could have been way worse... my convictions get the best of me, but I was calm. After it is said and done, I feel relief for my friend and hope she secretly isn't mad at me for kamikazing my way into her private life, she definitely didn't have a choice. Her sweetness made it seem like a burden was unexpectedly lifted- as for her heart; I will have to be the glue for a while. I do not care what the situation is(isnt he in jail?): if something is not right, it is so hard to sit back and watch it. I have been in plenty of crappy situations and hoped that someone would just fix it since I was at a loss. Right or wrong, it's done an...
