A Peek Inside My Brain

My brain has been on vacation. I haven't felt terribly clever lately and I think the blog is suffering because of it. Each night I've sat in front of the computer and tried to piece my thoughts together to form something coherent and interesting. Even now I'm struggling.

I blame the weather. Today was the first warm day we've had this year. Did you read that? THIS YEAR. We took advantage of it and went on a walk. Perhaps sunshine fuels my brain.

I've had lots of short thoughts bouncing around in my head, but nothing long enough for a whole post. That means it's time for a brain dump.

  • I realized halfway through the day yesterday that I had already written a post about songs being stuck in my head and singing a few lines over and over again. Blargh. At least they were different songs.
  • Cooper has a new game. He spins around in the dining room while saying, "Look Mommy, I'm being a princess." I've explained that he can be a prince because he's a boy. Nope, princes don't get to twirl.
  • Cooper keeps asking, "When is Phoebe going to be a boy?" Clearly, we need to have a few more discussions about gender being an eternal part of our identities.
  • Peter hasn't had a violent tantrum for almost a week. That's huge.
  • He has however started cutting us off as we speak and saying "Whatever" and "I don't care." So, in other words, he's become a teenager.
  • I don't like playing with Legos. They make me anxious. This week I discovered that I do enjoy building with Duplo blocks. Duplos are just big Legos. Why do I like one but not the other?
  • Phoebe is very wiggly. She hates sitting still. She'd rather roll than sit. Standing is also an option. But not sitting.
  • I have 99 posts waiting for me in my Google Reader. That's too many. I need to play catch-up.
  • I've had Total Eclipse of the Heart stuck in my head since yesterday.
  • I've also had Friday stuck in my head (Original version - don't watch! Literal version). I just heard it for the first time on Wednesday and now it won't leave me alone. Maybe that's why my brain won't work...
