In fact, I may forget I posted this at all, and then panic later: Random Tuesday Thoughts
Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 2:17AM 
Back when I started Random Tuesday Thoughts, I originally had a co-host, Kelly the Neurotic Mom. But then she got smacked with a major bloggy disappointment and one of those exhausting pregnancy things to boot, so she took a bit of a leave. But she's back! New and improved!
Um. Or older and wiser. Or something. Anyway, you should visit her at her new home, Baby Boogers, and leave your linky with her as well. And while you're at it, visit the rest of the participants this week too!
And if you're new here, well, this is how it works: Write a random post. Get the button and place it with care. And then leave your link with Mr. Linky. Easy, right? You could probably do it in your sleep after a couple of bottles of wine and a Percocet.
Let us begin!
I'm not blogging and drinking this time. I'm stoned on muscle relaxants instead. Could make for a mellow post.
I'm hitting the horse pills because I effed up my back somehow. I'm thinking that I over-exerted it last night. Here's the part where I tell you it was some fabulous new workout and oh, aren't I a dedicated little fitness buff, but no. My toddler woke up from a nightmare and it took 45 minutes of standing and rocking his 30-lb self to get him to calm down.
It also took approximately 3817 repetitions of singing the alphabet. I hope this doesn't create any bad associations for him. I guess if he runs screaming from the room during his first eye exam, we'll know for sure.
A haiku:
Naked! I feel naked!
Leaving cel phone at home is
like forgetting pants.
I wonder who first decided that having someone hug themselves and then flinging yourself bodily onto their shoulders in order to crack their back would be a medically sound decision?
I think I need another horse pill. My brain is tensing up. And my teeth feel like they might stay in their sockets, after all.
I'm a little disturbed by all the robot creations lately. Like robot teachers. And robot fish. Not to mention robot supermodels.
Also, botnets. Do I have to start worrying about the possibility of Skynet gaining sentience as well as zombies? I can only handle so many irrational fears, people.
Hm. ONE glass of wine probably wouldn't hurt, would it?
I mean, I'd PROBABLY wake up if the toddler was crying or the house burned down.
Really?
You guys are spoilsports.
Fine, I'll just get my pain relief from your RTT posts and loving comments. So hook me up, yo. Grab the button and make it happen!

I thought we were the only people who sang the alphabet repeatedly to calm our kids. Weird.
Sorry about your back, I was expecting to hear "I threw it out on the uber-intense Wii Fit by hula hooping up a storm". Holding 30lbs of dead weight will definitely do it too, I've got plenty of experience in that dept but with a 35lb kid.
I'm really a robot.

Sounds like X is like my kids...sitting down is not allowed! Standing and swaying is the only option! Exhausting, isn't it?

Dude, someone mentioned Skynet very casually at work yesterday. I work in a computer/server room!

Great Haiku! I feel the same way when I leave my cell at home. LOL! Sorry about the back. It's always those kids that do it to us. Feel better!

The wine can only help, cause it has antioxidants. Haven't you heard that antioxidants are the cure for everything now. So go for it girly. But don't blame me if the house burns down or you traumatize your kid by singing him to sleep with 99 bottles of beer on the wall, k?
I say ditch the wine and the relaxants and try writing cold turkey. Just don't write on a cold turkey. Put a sweater on it first, would ya?

You write mad haiku when you're hopped up on painkillers and wine woman! Love it! You may just be the next Hunter S. Thompson of the bloggy world.
Soon to be your partner as Maya's bitch, Peggy

If I left my cell phone at home I'd shart myself, then turn around to go get it. We need to exchange numbers, I'm a texter ;)

ooh robot zombies (add "from" fill-in-blank) and you've got yourself a movie!
Try replacing ABCs with Space Oddity - always gets my little dude right back to sleep (either that or he's faking so I'll stop singing)
Fab Haiku!

Are you kidding? Wine and muscle relaxers is my favorite combo ever! I need that to go to work, never mind sleep....

Oh man! The back thing sucks! I'm going with the "you were working out really hard" thing. That's what I always say when in truth I can throw out my back just sitting on the floor to play blocks with my son.
I also worry about the robots, ...the many versions of them. So we shall share these irrational fears together. Zombies...yes....but robots who clean my floors (while I may love them) I am sure they have spy devices installed inside them.

Wonder if your back wouldn't have bothered you if you had had some wine before rocking your munchkin back to sleep? You know, making you all relaxed and all... ;) Love the Haiku!

Question: was your toddler's nightmare related to the house burning down and nobody waking up when it happened? That WOULD be scary.
I hope your back loosens up, lest every post be mellowed out. Off to check out your co-host!

See this is why I need to read blogs and then post. When I post first and then read I miss out on all the fun!
Hope your back's better soon so you can stick to pill popping for purely pleasurable purposes :)

Robots are scary. That's probably what your toddler was dreaming about.

RTT is the new black! I hope your back feels better! And there's nothing like a 2 am toddler nightmare to wreck your back - and your week. I don't know about you, but it's nigh upon impossible for me to return to normal after one of those nights. At least not until the weekend.
