I don't want to write today. I've basically had enough and I'm too frustrated with my kids to think of anything worth saying. Here's what I'd rather do:

-Take a walk down by the Au Sable river.

-Go fishing

-Watch a movie that is not a cartoon

-Take a nap

-Go shopping and get something nice for myself

-Have a good piece of chocolate

-Listen to music (what a good idea... hold on a minute... Yes! Back in Black!... Wow. Gideon stopped crying for a moment. I guess AC/DC can be a bit of a shock to little ears. I should change the channel.

-Let's see... visit friends down state

-Oh... (Ack! Spare me Julie Andrews' singing!... That's a little better... Great {sarcasm}. Now Karyn is crying)... how I would like to get away with wearing ear plugs

-Clean house and have it stay clean for a day, or an hour, or even ten minutes.

-Go dancing

-Go skiing

-Make a blanket for myself

-C is for cookie, that's good enough for me!

-C is for cookie, that's good enough for me!

-C is for cookie, that's good enough for me!

-Oh cookie cookie cookie starts with C!

-Have two or more thoughts string together coherantly

-Must smack!

-No, I must not.

This is what my brain feels like. Parenthood is making me take leave of my senses today.
