Random Tuesday Thoughts . . . The Borderline Mid-Life Crisis and Begging Pooches

How I heart Tuesdays . . . where I can let all my randomness hang out with sheer abandonment.

• So, I’ve been enjoying jamming to some old school Madonna with my boys.  I purchased her latest album Celebration and evidently they are well impressed with it.  Funny to see them kick it to songs that I danced to when I was a young, innocent teen.  *sigh*  Anyway, the album is fab, but where, oh where is the song Borderline?  It’s one of my favourite all-time Madonna songs and I really think it should have been included.
• We’re trying a new dinner schedule in the household.  The hubby rarely makes it home for dinner these days and the boys come home from school absolutely ravenous, so I’ve decided just to feed them their evening meal as soon as they traipse in the door.  Then, I’ll hold out till the big man gets home and we can eat together.  Day one didn’t go so well as I got hungry at 6 p.m. and had to eat, but will try again today.
• My dog is getting ridiculously greedy these days . . . he is a beggar and I know, you are probably thinking well, aren’t all dogs beggars?  Yes, they are but lovely old Bingo takes it one step further . . . he’s a loud beggar.  He will think nothing of staring at anyone in my home who has food and whining . . . very loudly.  I need the dog whisperer to come and tell me what to do coz I think we’ve exhausted just about everything else.
• Florida decided to have another out-of-character hot and humid days this past weekend . . . when we had opening soccer ceremonies.  Sitting in the hot, sweltering sun . . . made for not a happy family!!  We got over-heated and retreated to the air con until my oldest son’s first game.  It ended in defeat, but very proud of him that he managed to play in that heat.
• I managed to squeeze in a pedicure this weekend and it was pure bliss.  When I got home, my little one was asking me what colour I got so I set about explaining what a French polish was to him.   Now, he is going round telling everyone I got a French fry pedicure!
• I hate to admit it, but I was a little crabby this weekend.  No, I can’t blame it on that time of the month . . . I actually thought it was on account of detoxing from all the Halloween candy, but I have another theory.  I think I’m think I’m having a mid-life crisis.  I mean, I am turning 40 next year!  Doesn’t everyone go through this?  Is it my time to have tantrums and buy something really crazy like say, a convertible car.  And, do I need to sit my kids down and say boys, so sorry but mummy is having a mid-life crisis?  She’ll get over it in a year?
• I’ve also been a bit of a nag this week.  Some days it feels like I am the only one around here trying to keep some semblance of a tidy home . . . the one tidy boat in a sea of messy testosterones.  How on earth did my mother manage with four of us I wonder?
• Day three of NaNoWriMo is going okay and we’ll just leave it at that.

Feel free to let your own randomness hang out today and if you do, head on over to The Un Mom to link up.  Happy Randomness to one and all.
