Stir {Freaking} Crazy

I apparently did a lot of talking in my sleep last night.  Since childhood, rambling in my slumber has been a regular activity of mine.  But, over the past couple of years it has been more of a sporadic thing - probably due to sheer exhaustion from raising three kids.  So, what gives?

Maybe I am trying to compete with Nick's snoring - although there is really no competition there.  Or, maybe it's because I am drinking loads of Nyquil before I go to bed to keep me from coughing up a lung in the middle of the night.  Actually, now that I think about it, I know it is because I am absolutely stir-crazy having been confined to this house for the past week because of sudden viral activity that has permeated the entire family. 

Yep. That is definitely it.  In fact, I have a swarm of random thoughts and bits of information just swirling in my head.  Having only to use my toddler/preschool/kid voice, and sometimes my time-out voice, I have had little opportunity to get it out.  Sometimes you just have to purge the nonsense and thought dingle-berries to make way for the productive, rational and sophisticated thinking, you know what I am saying?  So, at risk at keeping Nick awake for yet another night, I feel I should just put it on the table.  Because I am considerate like that.

1.  I think God gave us our unique body shape so we can fit perfectly into the arms of those we love.
2.  I really like the word copious.  Not quite as much as paramecium, but enough to want to say it.  A lot.
3.  Some people always have an agenda. 
4.  Kids who are spoiled lose cute points, through no fault of their own.
5.  I have a cat with special needs.  Her name is Stilts.  Don't judge.
6.  People who congratulate others only when other people are looking are, by far, the most disingenuous.
7.  If you have expectations, you will always be let down. 
8.  Signs, signs, everywhere a sign.  Blocking up the scenery, breaking my mind.
9.  You can know someone your whole life and never real know who they are.  You can know someone  minutes and know immediately they belong with your soul.
10.  I think that bathing suits are dumb.
11.  If you are really good at something, the world will see it.  If you have to tell people, you probably really suck.

I feel much better.
