Mini-Teen was explaining her thought processes to me yesterday, trying to anyhow

she was asking about mine. . .

. . .which seem to be somewhat limited at present, as you might have noticed

that doesn't bother me - this is hardly a time in my life where the ability to have a great debate on a topic fascinating to both man and woman kind will do me any favours, is it

if one is hanging around towards the bottom layers of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs it goes without saying that it is neither the time nor the place to come up with ground breaking theories or observations on L,TU&E

one is under no obligations at all, in fact, other than to produce the next meal vaguely on time and try to get someone to come and look at the insidious damp patches which seem to be pervading walls and ceilings like a plague of locusts on harvest day after a perfect summer

perhaps that is one of my "problems"? perhaps I could do with some more obligations? perhaps all my loose ends are over-fraying and becoming entangled, knotted up? perhaps I need to attempt to sort them out, snip them off, then refocus. . .

no, this isn't about to become a post on New Year's Resolutions

I've never believed in practising those

if something is worth doing (or not, as the case may be), it's worth doing (or not) all year round - not just the first few weeks into January and February. . .

anyhow, everytime Mini-Teen asked me what I was thinking, I burst into tears

I wonder if using a handkerchief is more economically-sound and more environmentally-friendly than getting thru a box of Kleenex? it's the least I could do, to get that one right

k.....I gotta say this, so please forgive me....

There is something about catching all that crying jag gunk in cloth and putting it in the wash with the rest of the stuff that just does me in....

Kleenex was a very GOOD invention.
OMGosh..

k....Just sayin'!

Oh.

And you know me--I'm a bit bassackwards sometimes.
I'm of the belief that some people are only AS responsible as you allow them to be.

I'm reminded of WPIML who heaped responsibilities in my direction whilest I was singing:

"Call me--irresponsible
Call me--unreliable
Call me--undependable, too....."
AND demonstrating those things!



Go figure people tell me I'm one of THE most responsible, reliable, dependable people they know....

Sheeeeeeeeshhhhh.....bassackwards, I tell ya..... :-/
