Friday Ramblings.

Wow.

I think last Friday I mentioned I would maybe Ramble each Friday and put up a collage of my Iphone photos and then delete them off my camera so I only have 962 photos instead of 973.

Was that only last week?

Somebody slipped a fast one on me.

But.

I did get laundry done, so not quite a fast one. Just a medium fast one.

Did you know Anne Lamott has a new book out?

Some Assembly Required.

The best. 

It's been pretty quiet in the art room lately.

It's a little bare in there and I'm not liking it so much.

I learned this week that not drinking enough fluids and being in the sun for a long time is not good for Colitis. 

Don't even ask.

I also learned that when you AND your eldest child are tired, you cannot find things that are right in front of you.

Like a big Anthropologie store in Palm Springs. Although, if you turn this experience into a scavenger hunt, it makes it a lot more fun. Especially when you finally find the store,

that was across the street from your car, but it took about 35 minutes to find it. 

Really, quite fun.

Someone please enlighten me to why it is, when you have been asleep for precisely 1 hour and 20 minutes, your child can wake you up from a dead sleep with a single word.
"Mom."
Why, with that single word, you can fling yourself out of bed as you follow your child down the hallway and, as she points to the bathroom and says, "I threw up" and keeps walking to her room to go back to bed you can find yourself with a bottle of lysol cleaning the bathroom like nobody's business.
Why?

Why, when you have been asleep for 1 hour and 20 minutes and your husband, God love him, has been reading on the couch downstairs, does your child choose to wake YOU up instead of following the light to the person who is all ready awake?

And why, when your blessed husband, who wanders upstairs to say, "What's going on?" do you want to throw the bottle of Lysol at him? But instead say, "She threw up and I'm cleaning it up" like it's no big deal and it's really 2:00 on a sunny, spring like afternoon???

Why do you even question WHY your child threw up after eating dinner so late, too much salsa, and a trip on a winding mountain road home?

No answers?

I didn't think so.

I love naps. 

Don't you?

I also love coffee and I am dying for coffee as of yesterday, so I think I'm on the upswing of feeling better. I mean I really, really REALLY.

Want coffee.

I'm sick of bathrooms right now, so I'll wait.

Happy Friday!!!!
