Suburban Oblivion

The question came up today about why people actually post blogs. Decided to see if I can explain it a bit, so here we go.

Top 10 Reasons I Enjoy Blogging

10. It makes my internet addiction look useful.

9. All the cool kids are doing it.

8. It gives me a platform for my opinions.

7. It allows me to tell people “You should check out my blog!”.

6. I am narcissistic and like to think people are listening.

5. Because by gosh, people like me!

4. It allows me to make my mark on the world.

3. It entertains people.

2. It lets other stay at home moms know my life is as boring as theirs.

And most importantly,

1. The voices in my head tell me to do it.

That the one day Ian has to work late, is the one day out of 20 that the boys refuse to take a nap? These guys are gonna be fussy and whiney by 4pm, and Ian *may* be home in time to kiss them before they go to bed. I say all the time I want a wife, today I mean it. Someone to cook for me, clean for me, take care of the kids for me..Why should men get all the fun??

That aside, Brendan is doing MUCH better today. Other than to go potty, he didn’t move off the couch he slept on until 3pm yesturday afternoon. I seriously kept going to check on him to make sure he was still breathing. It was a bit of a relief to have him back up and fighting with his brother today.

(Pity post ahead)
Brendan was up all night throwing up, roughly every 45 minutes to an hour. Ian and I took turns jumping up and shoving the trash bucket under his head. Poor guy is feverish and exhausted, but I think we are past the worst of it. He hasn’t thrown up in 3 hours, and that feels like a victory right now.

So we all get up tired as hell this morning, and I walk out to the kitchen to see my counters covered in sugar ants. ARGGGGG. I’ve been meaning to call Terminex out, we are due for service, but come on..ants?! I’d almost prefer the one or two black widows to the hundreds of ants that were parading across my kitchen laughing at me. Little fuckers weren’t laughing too long though, a little Clorox Cleanup spray and I got the last laugh. Kills ants and removes stains, how about that?
