Random Tuesday Thoughts – Long Weekends Eff Me Up
I woke up this morning and my first thought was “Leave me alone, I’m tired”. My second, once I realized the weekend was over and I have to actually respond to the child poking me since his father left for work was, “Oh, shit, it’s Tuesday. I gotta go write something!”
I will not be proof reading this post.
Friggin’ long weekends, man. Everyone ends up partying on a Monday and once I start, I’m always the last one standing. It’s in my blood. Then I don’t want to do anything the next day. Today happens to be that day.
Every time I see a toilet lid down in my house (like both lids, so it’s closed), I assume it means someone pooped in there and I flush before I open it.
I went to my first civil war reenactment Sunday right here in Charlotte. I’m pretty sure they set it up so the South wins, but don’t quote me on that, because I had NO IDEA what I was watching. There was just a ton of wicked drunk old guys walking around firing guns and occasionally lying down and faking death. It was pretty awesome.

Blowing shit up is cool.
My best friend died seven years ago. I’m going to tell you about him for the next few weeks. I am mentioning this now because my friends organized a non-profit memorial golf tournament in his name and this is the sixth year it’s going on and we’re still looking for sponsors to donate either cash towards the scholarship in his name at my old high school or prizes (at or about $150 in value) towards tournament awards. PLEASE just leave a comment if you’re interested in donating. I’ll work out additional advertising for you or your company with my websites as an extra incentive, if desired.
That was not funny, I typically like to slap some funny around, but don’t worry, my Joe to the O stories are hilarious.
Holy crap, my children are ADORABLE.
I plan on getting my hair cut and colored in the next few weeks and I had a little facebook debate on what color I should go. I was a brunette for about a year a while back and while I really think blonde suits me best, I do think I’ll go a teensy bit darker blonde, but I wanted to show you what I looked like with brown hair.

That was four years ago. Weird, huh?
I like pooping. People are always like “EW. Why do you talk about that?” like they don’t shit. Sewing my asshole shut is just not at the top of my to-do list (pun intended).
Okay, folks, I have to make like deodorant and roll out. Time for school. If you’d like to read random that takes my ass and kicks it gently, check out our favorite Super Hero, The Un Mom.

Oh, holy hell! I love long weekends, but man – they tear me up! I can so relate to how you feel. I don’t function too well the day after indulging in a little too much fun. I’m hoarse from singing karaoke, sore from tryin’ to teach these young kids how to drop it like it’s hawt, and I nurse the headache from hell all day. I’m getting better in my old age, though, trying to go out when I know the hubs is gonna be home the next day to take care of things!

I’ve never been to a Civil War re-enactment, but they way you described it is totally how I imagined it, except for the North winning and all.

I don’t know if it was a option, but I love the dark shiny hair with little red accents. You’ve already done blond, right?
Anyway, sounds like a good weekend. damn kids. Can’t they take care of themselves? didn’t they pop out self-sufficient? And how rude of your husband to not call in late to work! Just kidding, you know I luv ya!

I kept thinking I had to get up early yesterday when I didn’t…but I did, so that totally messed me up for today. I know, that makes no sense, but when do I?
One of these days I should go check out the reenactments at Gettysburg…could be fun to watch all the drunk people for sure!
You look beautiful with either brown or blonde hair…though blonde hair does ‘suit’ you…of course I could be biased since I’m a blonde…
Your kids ARE adorable!
Sorry about your friend – looking forward to reading all the stories.
Happy RTT!

Growing up with a dog in the house, I learned early on to put both lids down. Now I catch grief from my wife who doesn’t like the upstairs toilet lid down because it looks like just the seat is down in the dark.

Diet cola and coffee always make me poop within 30 minutes of consumption. BTW, nothing wrong with talkin about poop. I am so JAZZED about the Fantasy Football! Long time football freak but this is my first Fantasy league. Looking forward to seeing you in the “Zone”.

So, you didn’t pay attention in history class at all, did you? Me neither.
I should employ your pre-flush methods because I find entirely too many of my husband’s intestinal nuggets.

I have been to civil war reenactments in the north and the south, and it’s fun to see how different they are. With all the cannons going off it is hard to follow, but I have boys and anything loud is good in their minds.
