Random Tuesday Thoughts . . . The “But, You Told Me to Wake You Up” Edition

Aaah, today is Tuesday . . . the day where Keely says random thoughts rule!

And, here goes mine . . .

• My oldest son used to always be the first up in our house, but lately he has been sleeping in and much to his despair, has been relying on others to waken him.  The morning after my middle son got his trombone . . . you know where this is going, right . . . he thought he would awaken said sleeping brother with its glorious sound.  All I heard was what resembled a very loud and screeching musical sound, followed by “geeeeeeeeet out” and then, “but, you told me to wake you up!”
• This weekend the hubby went biking as usual and when he was home he did nothing but watch football (both British and American).  Can he not see the lawn needs edging or that the walls need some paint touch-up or the driveway could use some pressure washing?
• Do you ever wake up with a song in your head?  I do . . . all the time!  This morning, it was I Made It Through the Rain by Barry Manilow.  I kid you not!  WTF?  Just in case you’re wondering . . .
• Boxes.
• I think it would be really nice if the makers of plungers added a splash warning to them.  One of my sons blocked up our downstairs loo and in a moment of supermummy madness, I thought I would attempt to unblock it.   Well, a few minutes later, the toilet was unblocked, but I had been well and truly splashed.  Meh!
• The cold front is on its way . . . finally!  Tomorrow, we are expected to wake up to temperatures in the 50′s (F) and I’m so happy about it I could scream!
• So, this week is probably the last of the days that we can enjoy our pool, so the little guy and I went swimming yesterday.  And, it was so quiet and peaceful.  There is usually much splashing and dive bombing and squirting of water guns and I’m clamoring for a quiet spot!  Anyway, it was a lovely couple of hours really and I even managed to attempt some water aerobics!  Ha, just like all the wrinklies do down at the local YMCA!  It’s a good work out though!
• Boxes.
• Where the Wild Things Are has been a beloved book in our home for years now and I’m so thrilled to see it be made in to a movie.  I already had a family day all planned in my head to go and see it . . . and then my middle son brought home a field trip form . . . apparently, his class is going to see it!  And, then oldest son told me he isn’t bothered about going to see it, so I guess it will just be the little guy and I!  Anyone want to join us?
• Oooh, I wonder if it will be cool enough for me to wear a turtleneck?

So, where are your random thoughts? Head on over to Keely’s if you want to compile them all in a nice neat post today!!
