Sometimes my mind is a messy, disorganized place (kind of like my laundry room. And my living room. And my to-read list). And sometimes, in order to get everything back in order, I need to do a massive brain dump, like how you need to make a bigger mess of your closet in order to organize it.
So consider this a confessional brain dump of sorts (on a Tuesday because I’m not even sure if the Wednesday confessions linkup even exists anymore since Kathy abandoned us stopped doing it):
- Sometimes I get mad at my husband for things he does in my dreams.
- I really need to put a GoPro on my cat because WHERE THE FUCK DOES SHE GO ALL DAY?!
- Are there people who actually wash, dry, fold, and put away laundry all in the same day?
- Despite the fact that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, I’d really like to skip ahead to mid-December. Too much pain this year.
- Common Core math is absolute bullshit and I totally teach my daughter to do math the way I learned. Mostly because I can’t understand what she’s learning at school.
- Speaking of the child, I’m totally half-assing her Halloween costume this year. I mean, I mostly half-ass it every year but this year, she’s going as a vet. I’m even trying to talk her out of the zombie makeup she wants so she can be a zombie vet because OMG, I just can’t.
- I get abnormally excited when I see Lou Diamond Phillips in new movies and TV shows.
- Speaking of TV, I’ve been watching The Flash with the child because WENTWORTH MILLER IS BACK ON TV. Also, he’s in two shows that’ll be on next year. All is right with the world and his beautiful face is the only way to get me to watch anything superhero or comic book related.
- This Saturday, we’re supposed to go to an after trick-or-treating party at a neighbor’s house but World Series. I’m seriously plotting a way to use that so I don’t have to go. The Husband says they’ll have the game on. But they are all Phillies fans. I can’t deal with that nonsense.
- You know how they have all those clips of movie scenes of people dancing and people with skills take the clips and merge them into one long video set to songs like “Shut Up and Dance”? I want someone to do one of all the times celebrities fall down. Then I want People magazine or another tabloid to use that in their “Celebrities Are Just Like Us” section. I don’t care what they buy at Whole Foods. I want to see them trip and land on their faces or do the trip and run. THAT would make me feel kindred.
- I have about 203473234 tabs of posts and articles I want to read open on my phone. Instead of reading them, I keep opening more. It’s a sickness.
- I am abnormally good at Clue. I’m not sure what to make of this discovery.
- I feel this way about a ridiculous amount of people lately:
Anything you’d like to share with me?
hahahahahah the husband and dreams thing – i do that all the time. he’ll be a total jerk to me in my dream and then when i wake up, i’m like HOW DARE YOU!!! and he’s all “wha? how? wha?” all sleepy-eyed LOL!
kathy @ more coffee, less talky recently posted…random thoughts on a monday
I get SO mad at him. For basically the whole day. And I can’t stop being mad even though I know it makes no sense.
I think that people who wash, fold, and put up clothes on the same day are totally unicorns, they don’t really exist. And we totally have a nanny cam so we can watch what our dog is doing during the day, but sometimes he goes outside or does something else so a GoPro would totally be awesome to see what he does all day!
Ashley @ The Wandering Weekenders recently posted…Comment on How To Spend A Weekend in Atlanta by Olya
I love that you have a nanny cam. My cat is indoor/outdoor (like she’s carpeting) so the GoPro would be very enlightening.
One time, I did three loads of laundry, folded them all, and put them ALL away in one day. I was so proud, like I just traipsed around the globe solo in flip flops with just a pen and a water bottle along with me on the journey. ONE time in my 38 year life. I wish it was all the time but folding the laundry and putting it away totally SUCKS.
I would love to see the celebrity tripping video creation.
SMD @ Life According to Steph recently posted…Yo Adrian! Let’s go to the Philadelphia Cheesesteak Festival
LOLOLOL!! I did that once as well and I wanted a parade and accolades and presents. Because it will never happen again. Hell, right now I have an entire load of laundry dumped out on my bed in an attempt to force me to fold it and I assure you it won’t get folded and will instead be shoved back into the basket so I can sleep.
I’m kind of annoyed that Halloween is on a Saturday. I HATE that it’s probably going to be an all day into the night thing because there’s no school the next day. I know I’m a buzzkill but I’m just not in the mood to go from place to place and have people ringing my door bell at like 10 pm. I had no idea that Wentworth Miller was on The Flash! Prison Break was a favorite of mine.
Karen recently posted…Bedtime Stories
Maybe it won’t be that bad because of the Mets game?
He IS on The Flash. Not every episode but a good number of them. He’s Captain Cold. And he’s gorgeous and perfect. Even when he’s evil.
Even though Halloween is my second favorite holiday (after thanksgiving) I’m skipping all activities this year to save money. Is there a Halloween scrooge. And after Thanksgiving for all I care you can skip ahead to the new year. Christmas…meh…
Tonya@Budget and the Beach recently posted…Numbers Don’t Tell the Whole Story
December is our worst month, financially speaking. Hanukkah, Christmas, her birthday…all of it in the same month. We make it work but wow, is our wallet hurting by the time it’s over.
I’m outraged at how expensive Halloween has become. There is no need for a bag of chocolate to cost $15.
There are actually 2 confessions linkups now, which is confusing, but I’m just going with it. http://www.alannaandcompany.com/ is the one I’m currently on. I think Plucky (from Plucky Reads) started the other one.
I would totally watch celebrity compilation videos.
Teh Megan recently posted…Training for Tuesday #5
Thanks for sharing the linkup information!
Celebrities falling is extra hilarious to me.
I get mad a people for stuff they do in my dreams, I mean how dare they invade my dream state and mess it all up?!
I feel that way about all the people this week, I’m not fit to be around.
Kelli recently posted…Sea La Vie – 10/22
There are just some people I never, ever want to be around. All week, every week. I hate the way they breathe, the way they walk, the way they do everything.
I totally do the dream anger thing at my husband. I’m sure he deserves it on some level. I completely feel you on the too many tabs open and not reading any but I WILL I mean…of course I’m going to read them all but I need to save this one first….yep it’s a sickness.
Kimmi recently posted…Tag it Tuesday: Fall About Me
I try to save them to Pocket but I don’t always do that until there’s like 2348732 tabs cluttering my phone and I can’t get to the one I need.
First of all, that ecard!!! I quote it all the time. So many bitches eating their damn crackers!!!
So I am one of those people that does all laundry related things in one day because if I dont…it never gets done!!! And my niece who is in high school was asking my sister and I for help on a math assignment awhile back. My sister and I got the same answer and were really close with our work. Haven looked at it and was like ummm that isn’t how you solve this. We were like…the fuck it isn’t! She got in trouble and the problem wrong even though her answer was right because she didn’t do it like the teacher showed her. What are we teaching kids these days??? There is only one way???? I just cant. Look at my rant!!!
I want to see celebrities fall.
Nadine recently posted…Food Does Not Control Me
I can’t with the math. I just can’t. It’s so ridiculous and overly complicated and unnecessary. I tell my daughter that if she does it the way it makes sense to her, even if the teacher marks it as wrong, I don’t care. I just want her to understand how to get to the answer.
hahahaha i used to get so mad at KC when he would break up with me in my dreams. thankfully, dream KC stopped breaking up with me.
I love Clue! I’ve only played it once, but it was fun.
Thank goodness KC is a teacher, because you can bet I am not teaching my future child math. NOPE.
kristen recently posted…Getting back on track with goal setting
I can sometimes do everything with the laundry, but it’s rare.
And I HATE common core. But if I rant about it on Facebook, a lot of teachers will comment saying that I’m “not giving it the proper chance.” Um. Whatever.
Amber recently posted…Hey, It’s Okay Tuesday!
Is your cat an outdoor cat? Because if so, a GoPro on the kitty could in fact be interesting and perhaps entertaining?
You are not alone in terms of laundry spread out over numerous days… I am currently staring at a mountain pile of socks. And they’re not putting themselves away god dammit.
I also have the same illness.. I have a gajillion tabs open on my browser and Jeff often catches a glimpse and asks me what the fuck? “Just, you never mind …” Lol
Big hugs lady. I know nothing can make this time easier or less painful. So I’m sending lots of love to you and yours. xo
Lindsay recently posted…Let’s Be Friends Blog Hop
You’ll be satisfied to know that I teach math both ways (CC and normal). Like today, the CC way made NO sense (arrays for partial products multiplication) so I showed them briefly and then showed them the normal way. I figure exposing them to the method is fine, but they’ll never use the method if they don’t understand it (they don’t understand it).
Kristin recently posted…How I really feel about teaching
PLEASE PUT A GO PRO ON THE CAT. Also, I don’t remember when I first saw that “bitch eating crackers” card but for a good few years I’ve been using it in everyday speech. It’s a good way to keep in check (e.g. “I don’t know if he/she sucks or if she’s just a bitch eating crackers, but [criticism].”) and it also works as a verb. Enjoy.

Getting mad at your hubs for stuff he does in your dreams = priceless. I hate the multiple-tabs-open thing. When I’m crazed at work and stumble upon an article/blog post/etc I want to read, I keep it up in my browser and then, yeah, keep adding to it. It then gets so out of control and I end up having to leave work in a frenzy and never read them.
Ali A recently posted…Life lately…as told in photographs. [Fall Edition]
I hate laundry, like it is seriously the bane of my existence. There is no feeling of accomplishment because as soon as the laundry is all done, the basket barely stays empty for an hour before dirty clothes inhabit it once more. Btw, that ecard is so freaking funny! 🙂
Mackenzie recently posted…Monday Meanderings: End of October Edition
-I totally get mad at my husband for dream stuff too. It’s a burden.
-Go pro on my dogs sounds awesome, I am also curious at the daily life of household pets.
-Anyone who does all their laundry in a single day is probably a witch.
-My supervisor and I were literally JUST talking about Common Core math today and she was trying to explain her daughters homework and it just sounded…like the absolute worst. I am so sorry y’all have to deal with that.
Brittany Pines recently posted…Confessions of a Bad Book Blogger
hahaha! This post was like listening to my own thoughts. I totally wake up and hit my husband. Those dreams can be so real! I am one of those people who washes, folds, and put away immediately. I can’t stand clothing clutter. I can’t get anything else done if there are clothes everywhere. It’s like a thing…I don’t know. Common core is ridiculous. We teach our daughter math the way we were taught too.
Kristi @ Femme Frugality recently posted…Women, Money & Marriage
There’s a BBC special and they put gps trackers and go pros on an entire village’s cats. It may have been the best thing I’ve watched on tv this year.
Washing, drying, folding is the one and only act of domesticity I don’t mind doing.
Erin @ TexErin-in-SydneyLand recently posted…#hashtaghumpday: The Destructive Duo Strikes Again
Laundry is one of my least favorite household tasks. I have washed, dried, folded, and put away all of my laundry in one day a few times in my life, but these days it rarely happens. I did a couple of loads a week ago (or maybe more), and those clothes still haven’t made it to the closet.
I love the E-card! It cracks me up because it’s just so true.
I’m sorry that Thanksgiving is going to be a rough time for you. I’ll keep you in my thoughts.
Kristen recently posted…Fall Film Challenge Update: What I’ve Watched So Far – Volume 2
OMG! That ecard!!! I’m feeling that right now about more than one person. I half-ass Halloween every year. It’ll be store bought costumes until they’re old enough to make their own. I have a million tabs and favorites and saved articles. I have no idea when I’ll go through them.
Christina recently posted…Currently
Wasn’t the whole point of Common Core was to teach kids there are multiple ways to get to the right answer in math? That’s what I thought I read anyway.
I’m that jerk who dreams that PiC did something jerky (or really, anyone) and wakes up completely pissed at them. I’m also that jerk who washes, dries and folds laundry in the same day. That’s only on specific days where the timing works out but it’s fun when it does because I can dump clean laundry on the infant and ze “helps” me fold. So that it only takes 3 times longer than it should.
<3 I've skipped Thanksgiving in my head for a few years, this is the first year since Mom died that we're going to be doing something. I fully endorse skipping it until you heal.
Revanche recently posted…Just a little (link) love: tail wags edition
Sorry, late to chime in. Been off my blogging and reading game. Anywho, I’m afraid of Common Core math. Really afraid of it! And sometimes I do wash, dry, fold, and put laundry away the same day. But that’s my pet peeve. Like you and the hangers all facing the same way.
