I'm Old AND Stubborn

It's 12.48 am. I should be sleeping, but instead I am here. awake.

I have three children threatening to get ill on me before school goes back in session, so I dutifully went to each room and put in a Calpol Nighttime plug-in (like Vick's). Then, as I was finally heading to my bed, it occurred to me that I hadn't done something on the computer and so decided that I should do it quickly before I wasted time lying in bed thinking about it.

So, I came down stairs.
I answered an email.
I watched a movie preview.
I can't remember why I am here.
I read a blog post.
I commented.

I scrolled through my browser bookmarks to see if anything triggered my thought process into working again.

I tried to see who a guy was on "The Good Wife". He looked so familiar and yet I don't watch anything TV show he's been in.

There was new video to watch from Norwich City's terrible beating yesterday (that we drove two and a half hours to shiver through), so I watched it.




I didn't see us anywhere, even though we sat on the very front seats. Freezing.

In a crowd of 3038, we still stand out...




Maybe my purpose in coming down stairs was just to turn the computer off.


Epic failure if that was the reason.



I counted 20 "I"s already in this post.
Make that 21.



One should go to bed when one is loopy enough to babble oneself through a "why-did-I-come-here?" moment.






22.









Yes, there are other players other than Simon Lappin on the team.











Look how happy they were before they fell apart.

  1. Sorry about the cold and the loss--you're a much better fan than I can imagine being.

    Miss Ky sure looks like she's having fun.

  3. That was a great plug for Calpol Nighttime plug-in. I hope you are getting a little kickback for that.

    It does look cold there. Are their colors green and yellow? And they do look like good chums.

    (I used the word "chums" to sound more international)

  4. I hope you can keep the sick bugs at bay.

    I love the hats!!! HA HA HA! They're adorable, and yes, I would think you might stand out in a crowd! :-)

    I hope you remember what it was you were after. If you're like me, you remembered it right after you got back into bed for the second time.

  6. 22 was a good number. Hope you were able to sleep after all that mental exercise. You are going to be busy with all those healthy children!

  7. I got two words for you: Adderall and Ambien

    Adderall for attention deficit disorder and Ambien for insomnia.

  10. I love that you wrote this post. I do this all the time but fear that I'll be considered quite insane if I verbalize or type-ize what my process is.

  11. Hopefully everyone stays well and sometimes the ramblings are the most entertaining to read :)
