I used to be cool. I was particularly cool when I was around 25 to 30. Then out of nowhere, the uncool hit. I don't even know how it happened. Don't get me wrong, I am cool as far as Moms go. I love all of you. I accept all of you, despite all your quirks, but I have definitely been teetering on the bad end of the cool-o-meter.
I feel cool while I am on our motorcycle, then, I get off of it and see some girl ride up on her own Harley, not just the back of her old mans. Or I see a girl on the back of her guy's bike and she is wearing a string bikini and a pair of chaps (and looks incredibly good too) and the illusion of cool is set right. Yep, I suppose from here on in, I have to grow into being comfortable with not giving a shit whether or not I am cool.
I have realized that I am not going to be good at having no kids. When they all grow up, it is going to be incredibly tough on me. I really have to find some interest to pursue that is for me. Don't know what that will be yet, but I really have to try a few things out.
Tee and Adam are in Florida with their aunt. Dave is driving across the country right now. Nicole is dealing with her stuff and all I can do for that is give her a hug. Melissa is doing her absolute best to make me feel great and hang out with me lately (but I really know that she would much rather be playing Zelda over at Ally's or hangin out with Vincey-poo). What is left for the most part is my job and my house. My job kinda sucks and we all know how much I LOVE cleaning the house. I am going to a movie with a pretty cool friend of mine tonight though. Don't know what we will see, but it should be fun.
Stamer is going to be doing a mural on the kid's bedroom wall for me. That should turn out pretty cool. The kids want their room to look like a jungle. I am going to redecorate the kids room this week. I havent decided how I am going to do this because the fundage is low. I'll have to put all those hours of watching HGTV home improvement shows to work and see what I have n the garage to work with. Well, I have to go to work now. Love you.
