Late Night Ramblings

it's 1:30 in the morning & i still have no desire to go to sleep, although i am tired. my husband can't find his sunglasses. he allowed our daughter to play with them earlier & she pulled a houdini on us. what's knowingly ironic is that they are probably in the most obvious place & we're just overkilling the idea of "thinking like a 4 yr old". but apparently he can't go to work if he doesn't have his sunglasses (but he can walk out the door in february wearing wet jeans from my having forgotten to switch his clothes to the dryer). he says to me, "u wanna help me find them!? get up & help me find them." ...hello childhood!, we meet again, but for some reason you don't look like my father.

i watched the wierdest movie today during nap time... "falling angels". if you want to know about it, it's on hulu. there's a reason that some movies don't even make it to the shelf in blockbuster. it reminded me of a phase that TNT went through some years ago when they played movies that no one had ever heard of, like "hotel splendid" & ted danson films & some other foriegn flick about a singer who was castrated as a child & would court women w/ his intact brother. we do live in a strange world... with strange people... who do strange things.

i took my girls to the playground today, before nap time. that place is incredible; newly openned & there is so much to do. we did have about a 2 minute window when we were the only ones there. it almost felt illegal because the playground is big enough to feel like it's not possible to be alone in it. i think it's funny to watch all the mothers who are overprotective of their children, telling them how to put one foot in front of the other on flat ground; they are very oddly controlling, masking this feature with frightened eyes. u know, it is possible to properly monitor ur children w/out making them feel like it was a mistake to leave the crib.

it's getting closer to 2 am. who would've thought it would've taken up a half an hour to collect those few thoughts. this shows exactly how easy it is to get lost in them... mmm... LOST... now that's a good show. anyway, i'll go to bed now, still not in the mood to, but i'll do it anyway because it's an important part of the cycle of living... u wake, u eat, u work, u eat, u sleep. so i think i'll do the sleeping part right now... till next time.
