Thursday Thoughts

I once read a blog that featured a "Monday Mind Dump." The blogger shared some of her random thoughts every Monday. It was hysterical to read and I often could relate to many of her mindful musings.

So I thought I'd create my own "Thursday Thoughts" to essentially do the same thing, dump my daily thoughts. Now, when you're home alone all day with a houseful of small kiddos, you tend to store a lot of random thoughts. Mr. Fix-it is a good listener (most of the time) but he's not always interested in hearing all of the rabbit trails my mind runs after in the span of a day. My blog gets to be my listening ear now. :)

So here's my thoughts for this Thursday. 

1. I wonder why fitted sheets are so darn hard to fold? And why Mr. Fix-it seems to always fold them better than me. What is up with that?
 

2. I wonder why my kids are obsessed with my drawer of plastic Tupperware type bowls? I mean, they have a crap ton of toys. What is so appealing about a bunch of mismatched bowls with lids? And why do they do THIS to them?

Boys will be boys!

3. I wonder why Baby CJ is an excellent nighttime sleeper but is a terrible napper throughout the day? This is how he likes to nap, with my hand on him and in his bouncy chair. Doesn't this kid know I need to get stuff done around here? :) 

This is how he likes to nap.

4. I wonder if you can buy stock in wet wipes? Because we sure do go through an awful lot of them around this house. Not just for diaper changes either, but for cleaning just about all sorts of things, wiping runny noses, cleaning up spit-up, I even use them for dusting....when I do dust, that is. Please reference the above picture for why I do not dust very often. :) 

 

5. I wonder why kids' TV channels are allowed to air ridiculous "as seen on TV" commercials for worthless products that WILL appeal to kids and then show those commercials at least twenty dozen times in the span of one Ultimate Spider Man cartoon? Because then the kids will beg, and plead, and twist our arms. Then we parents end up buying said worthless products like this: 

 

Let me just assure you that this ice cream shaker maker whatever you call it does NOT produce yummy ice cream after simply 3 minutes of shaking! I think I have carpel tunnel after shaking 3 of these stupid gadgets all night. And we still ended up with mush! 

It's all about the memories though, right? ;)
