Not that I have many sorrows today - mostly just thoughts and ideas and questions.
Things like:
* Will my frozen toosh ever have feeling again?
* How the heck did I emerge from yesterday's therapy session with a multiple personality?
* Will the drip in the braai room somehow magically dry up?
* Surely Simba chips should have their own level on the food pyramid? Especially those fresh Salt and Vinegar ones.
* How can I take a long-weekend trip when I have to care for two very soft and fluffy bunnies?
* Is that the Maldives I hear calling my name? Yip. It must be. The sound of gentle lapping waves on the shore, a coconut falling off a branch, a gentle warm breeze rustling the leaves. Sounds Maldivesy to me!
* Is Wall-E really the best animated film ever, or is Barry Ronge, film critique extraordinaire, just exaggerating?
* If I had to choose between my daughter and my camera, I would have a really perplexing decision on my hands. Does that make me a bad mother? (I could have killed her for dropping it on Saturday - Aaargh!)
* Isn't it time to be more eco-conscious? I mean, I really feel strongly that green is the new black, and all, but I should be far more active in modelling healthy, eco-friendly behaviour for my children.
* How awkward I feel for defending the emotional side, and not the logical side, of last week's tragic suicide. Sure it was wrong, but she really believed that there was not another option for herself. She honestly thought that she would be making things better for her children and her husband. Logic did not play a role in her decision.
* It sort of messes things up in my head a bit when I feel like a good 'ol cuss will do the trick to capture the moment in one four-letter word, when, at the same I just can't bring myself to do it. Why is it so hard to overcome vulgarity for the satisfaction of spitting out those descriptive and colourful phrases? Surely a healthy bit of *&#$@ couldn't hurt?
* Has my honesty frightened off a couple of role players in the bigger picture? Drat!
* Are parabens really that harmful to my hormones?
* Since when did the STUFF move back into the study? Sure, we had two birthdays, one hospital stay, and three weeks of holidays, but is this STUFF for real?
* Did breastfeeding my children for as long as I did leave an indelible stamp of confidence and security on their wee foundations? Please say yes, please say yes!
* Will I ever again be able to pull in my tummy so that my hip bones stick out? Currently, I can suck it up all I like, and that pot-belly doesn't shift an inch!
Hmm! The crisps are finished and it's time to collect the kids...
