Need To Keep Busy And Pass The Time

Yeah, it's one of those long, boring, time-dragging days at the Pit. So I figured I'd kill some time on my blog. Sorry it's been a week since I posted last, but there wasn't anything really worth posting about. Not that I have anything all that exciting today. I'll just wing it.

I do have another test to bring you. This one is "What TV Mom Are You?" Any guesses? Well, I'm sure you won't be shocked to find out I'm like:

Roseanne Connor

You are Roseanne Connor from Roseanne. You've probably got a sarcastic streak, and you may take some pleasure in embarrassing your brood. But ultimately, your kids know that when they really, really, really need to talk about something, you will listen...eventually. Truth is, you tend to see things from their points of view; you just don't like to let them in on that until necessary. That's your little secret. And while it may not be your style (or fit your schedule) to compulsively whip up a batch of chocolate chip cookies, if your kids want to microwave some popcorn and watch TV with you, there's always room on the couch, and even on your lap.

While I'm not sure I like the idea of being compared to an overweight, loud, obnoxious woman....heh...I have to agree with it. That's pretty much how I do things. Maybe it's because I had her so young. I really don't feel like a parent. Believe me, I'm not one of those morons that tries to be my kid's friend. That never works. I love her to death and want her to think of me as an understanding mother, not a friend. I've been through a lot in my life, my teen years were very difficult. So I know what she'll be going through in 5 short years. Not that everyone goes through the same stuff...I only hope she's stronger than I was.

In other news, the meds are going ok. I've been on the 75 mg twice a day for more than a week now. No real side effects to report. Though I have been having some trouble sleeping, but I can't be sure it has to do with the pills. I've always had sleeping problems, whether it be not being able to sleep or sleeping too much. I never seem to get it right. I still don't feel 100% better, but I'm better than I was a month ago. I guess that's progress.

I see my shrink tonight. I missed my appointment last week out of stupidity, so we'll have a bunch to catch up on. I'll let you know how it goes. I told her last time I saw her that I had a web blog. She asked how someone as private as I am can share this kind of stuff with anyone who has internet access. I told her I'm a ham. That and I save the stuff I really don't want anyone to know about for my good old hard copy journal that is hidden away at home away from probing eyes. I have plenty of secrets and issues I don't make public. But I look at what I write in my blog as a sort of therapy. Letting me get some of my issues out in the open so I can concentrate more on the ones I'm dealing with privately. I dunno, for some reason it just makes me feel better. Plus, honestly, I don't think more than 5 people read this. hehe

Ok, word for the day. Niblet. Yup, as in niblet corn. Go ahead, say it out loud. Great one, ain't it? I call my big fat 20 pound cat Niblet sometimes. I like oxymorons. heh Something about the bl combo, like in nibble and oblong. But niblet is more fun to say. And I like nugget too...has a similar ring. :)

Well, I suppose I've bored you long enough for today. Sorry I didn't have anything really intelligent and prolific to say. Maybe next time.
