Crumpled Notebook

I have a new found respect for mothers. Yes, after spending 2 nights with a new mother and a 2 month old, I decided I don’t know that I ever really want kids. I mean, I probably do, but geez…getting up in the middle of the night,feeding, changing, rocking them to sleep…it’s a lot of work. Even me, just as an innocent bystander needed a night out on the town tonight to recover from it. Granted I’ll probably need a whole day to recover from my lack of sleep from tonight, but yeah, I don’t know where I was going with that. I just think Mothers deserve more Kudos than they get…and I suppose fathers too, if they bother to get up with the kids.

I do have to say though, that making a baby laugh and smile at you, is one of the coolest things in the world. Especially if it’s not even your kid. It’s like, hey, this kid actually knows you and thinks you are funny for sticking your tongue out or whatever it is you are doing. But it is nice when it’s other people’s kids and you can just send them on their way and continue your normal life. Something like that. This whole post is pointless, its just 2:30 AM and I felt the need to say something.

So I think I’m finally happy with my new blog page, for the most part anyway. Now I need to move all the other blog pages over to this one…that will be a task. Anyway, I hope to have the changes made soon.

Yes, I’m still trying to find a Blogger that I like. This one lets people add comments, so I think I’ll like it better.

So I downloaded a new CD today (legally thank you very much). I actually just was going to get 1 or 2 songs, but the more I sampled the rest, I wanted the whole CD. I must say, it’s the best $10 I’ve spent in a very long time. The CD is The Beautiful Letdown by Switchfoot. I’ve been a Switchfoot listener for about a year, but after listening to this whole CD, I’m definately a fan now. I’ve already listened to it several times through today without skipping songs.

I will say, my favorite song on the CD, which I just heard today, is a song called “Twenty-four.” If you get a chance to hear it, you should. If you want to see the lyrics (the best part of it) then go here.

Of course I do, why even bother to ask. Its my only pleasure in spending money at a coffee shop. If I’m going to get a grown-up drink (coffee or something like that, that is) of course I want whip cream so at least I can still feel like a kid and not a crazy Starbucks drinking Californian. But this blog isn’t really about Starbucks. It’s about whipped cream. More specifically, Cool-Whip. And a certain unnamed friend (see Blog below) and about half a dozen 13 year olds. I must say, if you’ve never had a cool-whip fight, or haven’t had one for a while, you must try it. It’s quiet amusing to see all this white poofy stuff go flying across the room and hit people smack in the face, even if it’s you. It’s even more amusing when you realize that it was probably the grown-ups that started it, but you can ask my friend about her fascination with throwing food (like whipped cream and green beans). What kind of role models are we?

I suppose it’s only fair
