This morning I woke up with Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok” firmly implanted in my head, and I can’t get it out. Someone either needs to run a Clockwork Orange deprogramming session on me or just shoot me, I don’t care which.
I had a weird weekend. Saturday night found me at a strip club at five AM with a couple of guys from my local bar.
I can’t say I was very impressed with the quality of the strippers. If I’m going to go out and see some nekkid ladies, I expect top-notch hardbodies who can seriously work a pole, not slightly flabby gals crawling on the floor. I can view that in my own mirror after I’ve had a good seizure.
I didn’t get a lap dance or anything. We went there primarily because we wanted to drink more and spent all of our time at the bar doing MORE shots and making fun of said strippers, which actually made me feel slightly guilty, given the fact that most of these ladies were probably single moms/students/supporting heavy meth habits.
Did I learn anything? Let’s just say I’m not doing shots of Patron with my tame little Miller Lites aaaaaanymore. I am too old to act like I’m twenty-one. I had one hour of sleep and then had to get up and be MOM! and it was no easy task.
It was fun, though.
I’m a happy drunk, but Lord, am I ridiculous.
In less irresponsible and stupid news, I am currently nursing my fluish child back to health. Said child does not understand why he is not allowed to play the XBox while he’s out sick from school.
Sure, let’s make sick days Happy Fun Time! I don’t think so, Skippy.
As a result, he is crabby, whiny, AND feverish, and this combination is a real treat. What happened to quietly watching Brady Bunch reruns while sipping lukewarm tea and eating toast, taking the occasional nap and doing crossword puzzles? THAT’S what you do when you’re sick, in my book.
Kids. They have to be hooked up to electronica at all times.
In still other news, today is going to be one of those snow-shovelin’ days, and I need to start furiously double-fisting coffee in preparation.
Happy Tuesday.
Glad you were able to get out and tie one on. And how! Good for you. Hope the J-Man gets better quick.
You’re the mom here, and so you’re the boss. But I know my PS3 makes my sick time survivable. Something about escaping to another world instead of sitting miserably in mine. It’s a similar escape to the one I get from books/tv.
Nothing wrong with your choice, just offering another perspective.
If I think kids should be able to play games when they’re sick, I can always go have some of my own and see how much I like watching their faces zone out for hours and hours.
The rule at my house…if you’re too sick to go to school, you’re too sick to play video games. And the trick is when you’re not too sick to play video games, then you’re not too sick to go to school….
yes I am pure eeevvviillll…
I can’t remember who it was, but many years ago I saw some celebrity on Johnny Carson who said that whenever they get a song stuck in their head, they start thinking the song “Morning Train” bye Sheena Easton instead.
“My baby takes the morning train… He works from nine till five and then… He takes another home again… To find me waitin’ for him…”
Soon there is NO song stuck in your head. I don’t know how, but it has always worked for me.
Sorry if I got “Morning Train” stuck in your head.
kids home being sick…it’s a hard one. i don’t let my daughter be embellished by fun and games while at home. if she’s sick she has no interest anyway. there has been a “hooky” day a time or two and i try to figure out why she is feeling that way. but if she is truly down and out then it’s obvious she’s not into the games…but you soooooo it the nail on the head with the Brady’s before! if you can lay in bed and sip on some campbell’s soup then chances are you need it. and it can be good bonding time as well! <3
THANK YOU TRISH! I will be using that gem!
Also, “If I’m going to go out and see some nekkid ladies, I expect top-notch hardbodies who can seriously work a pole, not slightly flabby gals crawling on the floor. I can view that in my own mirror after I’ve had a good seizure.” is really funny.
Trish, I kind of hate you right now. LOL
LOL….
