Little Boy Blue
don't feel much like writing... but I said I would post daily, so here's something I wrote a while back.
Hey little boy with your hair in your eyes
Come sit next to me, sell me your lies
I swear I'll believe them if you just hold my hand
Just in case, here's my heart on a string...
Sweet silly boy with your head in the clouds
Did nobody tell you that you're not allowed to think with your heart wide open like that?
Might attract the wrong type of girl.
Little Boy Blue, I can't hear your horn
Play it louder and faster for me
Innocent boy, wish you didn't know how torn
And corrupt this poor world can be.
Oh, dear silly boy, your laugh makes me cry
But to cry means my world is at rest
Scared little boy, just the look in your eye
Tells me somehow that this is the best.
All I want is to run far away with you
Find a corner somewhere with no better view
Than your breath on a steamy window somewhere
Drawing smiles that we both know won't last
I could hide you away from the world
Make believe for a day that I was your girl
Feed me line after line that you know I'll buy
But even hopeless romantics have boundaries.
Little Boy Blue, I can't feel your smile
Sing louder and faster for me.
Please baby boy, stay with me a while..
Find out how lonely "alone" can really be.
Dear silly boy, let me rest in your arms
Then I swear I'll leave you alone.
I just can't resist your appeal, your charm..
You know you're the one I call [home]
Little Boy Blue, I can't hear your horn
Are you even playing for me..?

Today's tidbits...
I've decided that I'm going to write a new blog every day, even if it's only 4 lines long. I just want to see how long I can stick with something that isn't completely crucial.
Things on my mind at the moment:
1) Smoking- I've been trying to convince myself for the longest time that I want to quit, but the truth of the matter is that I enjoy smoking. I think I'm only telling myself I want to quit so that I can feel like a better mother and save a little cash at the same time. I feel guilty for making my son smell my "3rd hand smoke" (lol) but at the same time, I would be a far less pleasant mommy without my little vice.
2) Resume writing- I really don't want to write out a resume, considering the fact that my previous employer of 5 1/2 years is probably NOT going to give me a very good reference, and then I get to explain why a perfectly good employee was fired over nothing. It just doesn't seem fair.
3) Sleep- God, when is this not on my mind? I never feel like I get enough, even when the clock says I've had more than plenty. I think it's the same for my little man. He doesn't nap during the day anymore, but then he's ready to go down for the night at around 6pm. Nothing I do, and I mean NOTHING, seems to be able to alter this doomed pattern.
Once again, the baby's awake... time for another abrupt ending.

El blogo numero uno
My husband recently started his own blog, and I guess I thought...
"What the heck, why don't I check it out?"
By the way, the title of my page should make sense to him and only him. If you get it, well... You know too much about us.
I'm not really sure who would like to read the random musings of a newly unemployed full-time mom and housewife, but there's a market for everything.
I recently decided that my life up till this point has been pretty interesting, and someone ought to document it, if for no other reason than so future generations can laugh at my embarrassing moments just as the ones who went through them with me laughed... at me, not with me, mind you. I haven't decided if I should change a few minor details to save my family from humiliation or if I should just tell it straight and let it all hang out. I think I'm going to do a little bit of both, and leave it to the reader (assuming there is one) to try and determine what's fiction and what isn't. Anyway, here are the first few sentences...
"I think it all started when I was four... that sneaking suspicion that maybe, just maybe, my reign as queen of the known world was coming to an end. A little sister? Oh, joy."
Eh. I guess it's as good a place as any to start.
When thinking about my life, I've realized that I'm incredibly blessed. I have a wonderful husband who loves me without reason, an amazing 6 month old son who stole my heart the minute I knew he existed, and a family who, despite their collection faults and flaws, have always supported me in my endeavors in any way they possibly could. I understand that no one really likes to hear about other people's immense and undeserved happiness, but it's hard not to stop and say "wow, I'm lucky" every now and then.
Baby's up, gotta run.
