Dancing Purple PJs

I can tell when I haven't been "out" in a while. I realize that when I do get out of my "zoo" I'm like a caged animal pawing at the door of their pen to reach freedom. I also realize that A) I talk way toooooo much! B) My filter (between brain and mouth) deteriorates and C) The jingle jingle clunk clattter that I hear in my ears often times really is my brain rattling around in my head. So, when I go to Bunco every month, I am always so grateful later that those women are very accepting of who I am and can put up with whatever it is that I say or do (or wear! Lord knows, I'm a fashion statement of it's own making). I really love you guys for putting up with me.

I've also come to another realization - and this one, may or may not interest you. (Like any of this is riveting?! Ha ha!). I was dancing around the kitchen and singing this afternoon, (what? You don't do that? huh.), entertaining the lunch crowd in high chairs and propped on a stool at the island, when my three year old says, "You're the funnest Mommy I ever had, I just love you!". I thought to myself (first, like you've had another Mommy) and then, I thought, I live for this! I am happy. Not to brag....but I thought, I really am Happy. How many people can say that? Did I mention I was in my purple PJ's still, barefoot and dancing? And...isn't it scary that I can write that "out loud"?

So, if you need a pick me up and straight up Coca Cola doesn't cut it (or Mountain Dew- pick your poison) just imagine me in my purple PJ's dancing and singing around my kitchen to the tune of Oh Suzanna "Oh Hayden and William, don't you cry for me - I'm going to make you a cheesy rollup and some crackers, just say please." I could go on, but that should be enough to crack a smile on someone's face. It made my kids laugh and clap! Oh yeah, encore baby!

If we can't laugh, then what is the flippin' point!?

Sorry this post is so fragmented, but like I said, my brain kind of rattles around and when it sticks on a thought, it just does - no matter what the thought may be. So, I'll have another good think and maybe next time, I'll have something more to say - of a meaningful nature. Otherwise, try singing around your kitchen and dancing today - it's a surefire way of improving your day! Let me know how it goes!
