This blog post is an experiment. I don’t have time to take the care I normally do over grammar, punctuation and clarity. (Okay, you may stop laughing now.) Life — she is a slammin’ me with end-of-school-year stuff, packing for weekend Scouting trips, and unexpected chauffeur duties. Of course it’s happening now, right when I’ve found my groove with my work-in-progress. Isn’t that always the case?
I know my kids are feeling it too, because they drag themselves out of bed every morning and only add to the chaos by forgetting crucial events.
Like a lunch twice this week, necessitating a child learning logical consequences through hunger, or a mid-day interruption of my other tasks.
Or fieldtrip and scholarship forms which were due, “Oh my God yesterday, Mom.”
I sense my family isn’t the only feeling frazzled. I think we all could use some good laughs. That’s why I’m enclosing a few links guaranteed to make you smile:
1. Ze Frank’s video on How to Dance Properly.
2. Don’t miss this one on Ze’s site: When Office Supplies Attack
3. This video’s courtesy of Amy Bai. All you band geeks will get a kick out of it. It’s entitled “Axis of Awesome – 4 Four Chord Song”:
So how about you? Are you feeling bolulated in your discom? If so, what are your tricks for staying grounded?
BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Nice videos! And I HEAR you on the family getting needy just as you hit your groove, that same exact thing is happening at my house. I think it is a defense mechanism. They hear mom’s writing brain click on and worry they will be abandoned forever if they don’t demand things of us NOW.
Er, Hart, it’s not just my kids manifesting the I-need-you-nowitis. 😉
Glad you liked the links.
Oh! videos to watch – I’ll do that will my coffee this morning before I leave to go round the mountains for an event. Chaos – I live it! (I accidentally wrote “I love it” – hmm Freudian slip? haw!)
Holy smokers you’re up early, lady, although if it’s for that writer’s meeting I saw you and Teresa talking about on FB, I can see why. Looks like a lot of fun.
My discom is not only bobulated but severely bent (if not broken). But the Axis of Awesome video made my day – I am still laughing! Especially, you know, married to a musician and all! 🙂
My husband LOVED it as well. Although, he did point out that those same four chords are also used in 1950s Doo Wop music, so maybe they can do a sequel – great stuff!
I think discoms should come with warranties, don’t you? Glad you and Jim had fun. 🙂
