Just thought we could do a random thread here. Please post your most random thoughts. On my mind today, we are taking our oldest son to college in 9 days. Financing still has not been secured (very long story there). We'll get it one way or another....Have to go buy him some clothes-already bought sheets, but he still needs a few more things-thank goodness the machines there are free! . Need to clean the house REALLY well since the in-laws are coming to watch the two little guys and the dog. Would love to go pick blueberries today, but it's really hot. DH is watching the most boring C-Span stuff on tv. All the kids are sleeping, and the house is so quiet. Got a new pool table yesterday-thanks Dad! See, I told you it was random!
next.....

well you said random.....


I really do not feel like leaving the house today. I would like to stay in my PJs and just do nothing. I have a baby shower that I should be going to but I dont want to. It is for a girl from church and while she is a really nice girl, and I am happy for her, I just dont feel like going.

Terrible aren't I?


Oh and my 18th Anniversary is tomorrow. I will be married exactly half of my life and then... from that moment on, I will be married more then I was ever single.


How is that for random???

I'm sitting in an easy chair with my dog snuggled in beside me... contemplating sending the kids off to school tomorrow.

Where did the summer go? Will they like their teachers? Will they have a good year? Will I be able to keep busy enough (why am I even worried about this one!)? Will homework drive me nearly over the brink again this year? How will we be able to do everything that needs to be done in the evenings?

They are growing up... and

I like this thread! My thoughts are..very random now.. Does my son's friend have underwear for back to school ? ( I brought him over a bag of my son's no longer needed clothing..his mom walked out on the family years ago..tight on money.)..would I be overstepping to ask ? I have a lot of underwear ( brand new in the packages ) I buy my sons and dh on clearance thru the years..
Is my son up yet ? Who is making all that noise outside so early on a Sunday morning ? Why are my pets sooo needy first thing in the morning ?
Is it dumb to have sausage gravy over toast for lunch today ? What should I take out for dinner ?
I have to search for my coupons today..I misplaced them.

Gosh, my thoughts are running wild, too. The grandkids are coming this morning and will be staying for four days/three nites...will they take their naps? Will Andrew sleep through the nite? Will I get anything done if I take them up to school with me? Where did my summer go? What will my class be like this year? Is the new schedule at school really as bad as people says it is? Our vice principal is back...and she used to be my best friend. She is still not speaking to me--will she be out to get me this year? Will David continue in AA? What new job is he going to choose? Will the doctor tell me tomorrow that the MRI shows a lot of damage to my shoulder? Will David get Andrew to his doctor's appt. on time? Am I a worry-wart? LOL!

Should we open the thrift sale today if it might rain? If my son doesn't get his Eagle Scout project completed before school starts will he ever get it done? If it doesn't rain today I need to water the flowers tonight. If I get up early tomorrow I can get my walk in before work when it's cool out. Why doesn't my son go downstairs to get another package of toilet paper when he uses the last roll? I need to shave my legs. Why would someone mow their lawn so early on Sunday morning. I'm hungry- let's go see what's in the fridge.

Random thoughts: my 12 year old had oral surgery yesterday to expose a tooth in the roof of her mouth that may or may not (now that is is exposed) grow down on it's own. We are paying an orthodontist $4000 to fix this problem and bring this tooth down. The ironic thing is her teeth right now are PERFECTLY STRAGHT, so we are paying him to mess up her teeth then straighten them again. According to our regular dentist the tooth may or may not cause problems later on, the tooth could not be seen or felt and did in no way bother or cause DD any pain. I just hope that we made the right decision, which we made in order to avoid any possible complications for her in the future.

My middle DD and her husband are here visiting from Washington, today is their last day here, they leave tomorrow. We will be having a cookout/swimming party this afternoon, so that will be fun. At the same time I am sad because a good friends wedding shower is scheduled for the same time and I won't be able to go because I am hosting a cookout.

I need to get back to school clothes shopping done (I know, I waited a long time)...but we were waiting to sell the truck this weekend.

My coffee pot is done, but I am comfy here in the chair on the computer.

I love this thread. It feels like we're all just sitting around and chatting...kind of like The View.

I did a little gardening this morning and am about to leave for Pittsburgh to see Annie Get Your Gun. My birthday was yesterday, and both DSs called....one while on vacation in Maine and the other from Thailand. That's the first time I've been able to talk to him for 2 months. Makes me cry. Happy tears. But I won't see him until next July. Sad tears. Gee, I cry a lot, don't I? Ahhh....if you only knew. LOL My fish tank is dirty and I hate cleaning it. My sister used to have 5 tanks and she cleaned them every Saturday. I wish she was still around to motivate me. I have to go change my clothes and pack lunch...catch ya later....

BF is having one of his drinking buddies over today that I don't like at ALL. I wish I could just fly off to Jamacai for the day.

__________________

Thinking about the little angel baby Sully that died yesterday from ALL. I need to clean my house but it is a mess from the renovations going on. Are my doors actually in at Lowes or is the guy there a complete idiot. I need to get school supplies, horse food, dog food, and groceries. I should take a day off of work this week to get the kids enrolled and do my back to school shopping. DH wants to go to Lowe's AGAIN and I am sick of hemorraging money for this enormous remodel. On the other hand, I cannot wait for a new kitchen with Zodiac counters and great lighting. Will my sub-contractors show up again unannounced and make huge messes in the house.
Will I ever stop worrying about things that haven't happened yet?

By the way, I love this random thoughts post. Great to write all of this stuff down and get it out of my head.

A good friend of mine's husband passed away last week (pancreatic cancer) and the visitation is today. I have to go, but he was also the mayor of our town. That means the place is going to be packed and we'll probably have to wait in a long, long line out in the heat and humidity. I really don't want to go! I know I have to, to be supportive, but I never know what to say in those situations. I need to be home making pickles and drying parsley, basil, and sage. There's probably plenty of green beans that need to be frozen.

Don't forget to go out and move the hose in about 10 min.

Even the red dog didn't want to get up this early.

What shall we nosh on for breakfast?

Is the coffee ready yet?

Is it hot in here?

Crap, forgot to iron a shirt for work today. Oh well I'm up plenty early so I have time to do it now.

How can that little girl in Florida be gone for a month and her family not be prone with grief?

Wow the spiders have really been busy in the corner of that picture frame.

I hope my DH epidural steroid shots to the neck goes well, I need to bast the chicken in the oven.I wonder whats wrong with DD knee now,clothes are done I need to throw them in the dryer.dang my throat hurts.

I Will share I do not know if many know but I do have a almost 20 year son Thomas who was born with 3 serious heart defects, 2 were surgically fixed and the other the most serious which is acortic stenois he still lives with and if that is not bad enough for my son, for the past oh say about 5 months he has experienced some severe stomach problems, however things have gotten way out of hand. We laready know he is lactose intolorent , he also has ibs cannot eat anything spicy, fired greasy, fash food. On top of that he is 6/2 and just weighs 124 lbs they put him on a special multi vitamin for his over all health. He basically has been a fussy eater all his life however now he suffers just about every day with stomach pains and has severe diarreha sp. which is not good . They did the tube down his stomach test to see if he had acid reflux, he does not, they tested him for a bacterial infection that could be living in his stomach he does not have they also took a small biospy came back ok. Last week we took him to have a sonogram done to see if her gallbadder is ok, test came back however now tomorrow 7 30 am I am taking him to the hospital to see if the gallbadder is working correctly he is having a hida scan done with contrast, he wil have a iv and they will inject dye into him. As for everyday he also urinates alot so he is basically living on plain bagles, cracklin oat bran and frosted mini wheats, alot of friut banana's and apples mostly, only grilled chicken or turkey has to be cooked in chicken broth no butter or oil. He is very upset by all this and so are we , we cannot and nor can he like this I forgot he also eats alot of jello, so if anyone cares to say a prayer for my baby and will post updates his name is Thomas Peter, thanks for the great post peace to all catherine

My Random thoughts--

Will we go out for dinner or do I cook?

Why do I get so many headaches? ( I have one now)

If everyone was nice to each other polite and honest will this be a better world or a boring world? ( this comes from some very rude people I have recently had the misfourtune of dealing with ).

I REALLY have to clear my desk!

My house is so quite right now except for the clicking of my typing........

I love this thread thanks op

I just finishes my yoga workout -- I love yoga. DD is growing a GINORMOUS cabbage in my garden -- she's going to enter it in a contest. We visited an awesome place today--Rodale Experimental Gardens in PA. I love that place -- we used to go every August but haven't been in a few years. It's quiet, peaceful and all my kids love it. I miss my dad -- he died 8-8-07, I worry about my mom but she is amazing and very strong and independent. I think I'll go lift some weights then have a cookie -- DD is making yummy chocolate/chocolate chip cookies. Maybe I'll have two. My house really needs to be cleaned!

I am sitting here thinking about dinner. I have NOTHING thawed out and don't feel like going out. It is so HOT here in the desert I wish I was up North at Mom's cabin(115 here and only 70 on her patio today). Wondering how I will get kids to bed early tonight. They don't start school for another week but I am starting the routine tonight. I sure am hungry, can't think about much else......

DH, after taking many opportunities, himself, to go away here and there for things that have been coming up this summer, just said "Honey, go out, take some $20's with you - go have fun, go shopping, and don't come back til dinner time. What do you want me to have ready for you?"

I requested something with pasta and seafood with 'pink' sauce (alfredo and tomato).

It was the nicest day! Shopping, driving slowly with the top down on the convertible, and more shopping!

Dinner was so yummy, I'm feeling drowsy now from the sunshine and the wine w/dinner, so I think it'll be an early bedtime. Gotta love when DH feels like he owes me!!!

I'm wondering how long it is going to take my bruised tail bone to heal so that I can go horseback riding again. It's been a week since my fall and I am over the pain. I want to get back out on the horse.

Oh, let's see. Also wondering where I went wrong in raising my oldest son. He's a constant worry. These are my random thoughts for today.

biobrain...what are Zodiac counters?

devinmom...aren't you special? What a nice thing for DH to do!

Does everyones house seem to get messed up as fast as mine do or are we just slobs? Why am I still up when I know tomorrow at work I will be miserable and counting the hours till I go home and can go to sleep. That poor baby Sully Farrar, how do parents get thru losing a child. I really don't want to go to work tomorrow but we so need the money. Am I always going to worry about money? Is everyone else broke too? Why can't I get off of my butt and start exercising when I know how bad I need to. I am such a procrastinator. I am so over the summer, so sick of being sweltering hot. Cannot wait for the Fall. Open windows, making a display for my front yard. This is ridiculous. I am going to bed.

When are we going to be able to afford to start looking at houses again? How much more is Sophia & Isabelle going to cost us? (latest adopted stray kitties) My glasses broke in April and I've been using the excuse not to replace them because money's tight now, but that's only 1/2 the truth. I've always hated my glasses, so I've been putting it off. I wish I could afford contacts, but I'd need toric lenses, which cost more. I have to do laundry tomorrow. Actually, I've got a lot of cleaning to do tomorrow. I hope I stop gaining weight. I bought a whole new wardrobe last year (really cute stuff) because I'd dropped from size 16/18 to 8/10 (thyroid). I've already gotten rid of my fat clothes and they were really cute, too. I hated parting with some of them, but I couldn't wear them anymore and it never crossed my mind that I might need them again. (stupid me) Now, most of my new wardrobe is pretty snug (muffin top) and I'm really upset about it. I'm very happy about my grocery shopping trip today. I got some dirt cheap deals. I really wish I could quit smoking. I know it would save us a lot of money (not to mention my health), which is what I've been stressing most about, but I'm just not "there" yet. Plus, since I've already put some weight back on, I'm afaid if I try to quit now I'll just balloon right back up again.... And, I certainly can't afford a new wardrobe right now. The first time I quit smoking I gained almost 70-lbs within a year. Am I a thread killer? Guess I'll find out.

freer.......Zodiac is a brand name for Quartz the same as Silestone or Ceasar Stone. Heavier than granite but a lot more consistant coloring throughout. I believe that the ratio is 93% crushed quartz and the remaining 7% is a resin similar to corian but a lot more sturdy. The pricing starts about the same as granite depending on the look that you are going for.

Friends are coming from out of state in two days and my house is a mess! A BIG mess!
I cannot clean like I used to because I have back and hand problems.
DH will help but he has to rest often also.
Friends are neat freaks! Never had kids.
Have to cook tomorrow and take food to a benefit dance tomorrow night.
Also have to grocery shop.
I won't get anything done sitting here and whining about it, will I?

DH is happy and I am, too
For now I don't pick up as much dog poo!

The bbq chicken that dh made smelled so much better than it tasted. He used the chicken that I bought especially for a meal that I planned on making. I need to update my bill spreadsheet that I have at work since I don't have office installed onto the pc's at home. I can't wait until I start my OT project for work. I could totally use the OT, it's a minimum of 10 hrs OT per week, and I can do it at home-in bed if I want to! It's something I love to do that I started when i first got hired into the company, working with press kits from movie distribution companies...I could totally use the mind set off from what I do at work all day long..hopefully this will help us afford to replace our TV that went.

yes dear my son Thomas was tested for celiac disease negative they thought it would be cause my husbands late mom had it and so does my dh's older brother have it, however todays test which was a hida scan with contrast did not go so well my son had a bad reaction and passed out they had to wait and give him some juicy sugar stuff to drink and they then were okay however the test was 2 hours, he slept when he came home for 6 hours, so tomorrow we will find out if his gallballder is working correctly thanks for asking though peace catherine

I hope my son does something on his Eagle project tomorrow. How should I cook the two zucchini I bought at the farmer's market. What should I get my friend for her birthday on Wednesday. Will it be hot tomorrow? Will I stay awake late enough to see the news and the weather? Should I mow the lawn tomorrow or wait until it rains again. Why do people send me disturbing pictures via email? Does it bother them so much that they want to spread the disturbance? I wish I knew what was wrong with my neck and why it hurts so much.

Let's just say I wasn't a bit surprised. It's my understanding that's not the first time she's videotaped. Her dogs are a big part of the reasoning for the privacy fence.

Random thought for today? Happy, happy, joy, joy! I have a new fence!

What happened to the two baby deers' mother who are now eating crab apples in my side yard? I haven't seen the mother in awhile. Hope she is still alive.

I hope that my neighbor's MRI doesn't show anything devastating.

Wish my husband would find some kind of happiness or satisfaction in his job.

I'm sad that my son is starting high school soon. Time is passing far too quickly.

I really miss both of my parents. They both passed away very quickly and I feel the loss everyday.

Wish I didn't wait so long to finish my coffee, now it is bitter and cold.

Wish I could motivate myself to take the final for a continuing ed class. I am afraid that I won't pass.

I really need a haircut, but need to find a new (reasonably priced) stylist. The last three cuts did not work out well.

I really need to get out of this mental funk. Thank goodness for my two girlfriends to talk to when I start to bottom out.

Yuck, the cat food really smells bad. How can they eat this stuff?

This thread is great. It helps to read others random thoughts and anxieties. Thanks to whoever started it.

Woke up again at 4:30 and couldn't get back to sleep. I hate it because I don't have much motivation to do anything for the rest of the day. But there is so much to do around here that I don't have a choice. DH just called-looks like the $$ is finally secured for DS's college. That's good because he starts next week! Of course, that's one of the reasons for not sleeping. The two little guys are driving me nuts. I know they are just bored, so that's my fault. I'll have to think of something cheap to do with them today. There is so much stuff to do, that I am just feeling overwhelmed and don't want to do ANY of it. I need to get out of this funk too. My life has gotten so boring lately. And I remember a saying, "People who are bored are boring people." I don't want to be boring. My hair is a lot darker than I thought it would be going natural. Hmmm, maybe I should dye it blonde again. Why is this playroom always such a mess?

I really wish I could go home, I'm at work and throwing up, DH has a stomach virus and I guess I've got it now! If I didn't have customers coming in to get tires I had ordered for them I would close up my shop and go home!

Hum, seems mine rants are all over the top for the past few weeks.

why are my step-kids so frickin lazy
Why cant I see my grand-daughter?
Why doesn't my idiot EX not want to be a part of his kids lives?
Why am I so depressed?
I want to quit my job and stay home all day and do nothing !

Why is there never enough money to go around? Why do my step-kids want so much from their father ? I think they feel in tilted since their parents divorced.
I cant wait to be kid -less! "I'm sorry " for all of you that will miss your kids when they go to college, I don't think I will. I will always have a kid here ,(not mine) . I think I will be 80 yrs old and he will be 65 and still living at home.

I just want to be left alone .

I think I feel a pity party coming on ,
Second thought, I feel better after just typing!

Random thoughts for today.
I wonder who stole my parents brand new TV set? I wonder if my son stole it?
Why do my parents buy a new expensive TV set and leave it in the patio unlocked 24 hrs a day every day?
That is just stupid and I will never understand why they do that,
I 'm glad I did not buy that TV set that I almost bought them for Dads birthday.It would have been stolen and I would have been mad as !
I hope my dad does not fall again.
I hope they survived their trip to the casino again.
I hope they win the Jackpot !
I hope the animals stay out of their garden this year so I get lots of tomatoes,peppers,broccolli,cucumbers,and corn.
I got a headache from drinking that Gavalia coffee.That stuff is strong.I will have to take some Motrin.
I hope my Clixsense check comes today.
I ate too many cookies.I feel fat.

I made the most of my entire department, I've been there for a little over a year. Some have been there for 25+ yrs..but this says nothing about me.

We need to decide to sell the van, or sell the car. I hate the thought of selling the van..I'm attached to it.

If I have another migraine tonight like I did last night I think I need to consider going back to my jerk of a dr to make an attempt to get some meds. I couldn't even cry last night it hurt so much.

I wonder if this random thought thing is like blogging?

I'm glad the week is flying by for me.

I just noticed that the cat was peeing on the floor again. This means a phone call to the vet at 8am, as he was just on a prescription for a bladder and/or UTI. I am frustrated. We have spent over $800 on this cat since the beginning of the year due to his urinary infections. And DH is going to have a FIT when I say that the cat is peeing everywhere again. Hopefully the vet will just prescribe us another prescription without seeing him again, considering this is the second time this has happened with one UTI almost immediately after the other. He wants us to switch foods for the cat, as he needs to lose weight, but I want to finish off this 5-lb $28 bag of Wellness first. Hopefully, if we get a prescription, he won't bug us too much about the food. Maybe I will just buy the food at the same time as the prescription. There's a thought. I will call and mention that he is having another "potty" issue and that I want another prescription AND to pick up the recommended food. BONUS!! (I am kind of liking this random thought thing, LOL)

Today the family is going to the local county fair. I am watching my weight (not overweight, but I would like to lose about 5 more pounds) but really want a nice funnel cake with cherry topping and tons of whip cream. I am soooo weak!!

The dogs are sleeping and the cat is hopefully outside (he is an indoor cat, but goes in the backyard - it is fully fenced and he is too big to jump over the fence - approx. 19 lbs.).

My son is playing with his wrestlers in the front room. He just took his shower and smells like watermelon. For an 11-year old kid, he is starting to realize the importance of hygiene, and I am so glad! I have always encouraged good hygiene since he was younger, because I wanted to make sure when he hit puberty he would know how important it was. He is growing out his hair. He is starting to look like that Chase kid on Zoey 101. Like his father, his hair gets curly as it gets longer. My hair is super straight. He has had a crew cut since forever, and wants to grow his hair out since he is starting 6th grade this year. He looks so much older - he doesn't look like a kid anymore! He is already 5-foot tall. My baby is growing up!!

DH is still sleeping - he will probably get up around 9am or so.

Gotta finish my coffee and jump in the shower.

HAGD!

Yesterday was supposed to be coldish and overcast. Instead it was clear hot and muggy as a pot of boiling water! I am now wondering how hot it's going to be today. What should I wear to work? Should I bring my bathing suit for after I am done? Are all my ice packs in the freezer? What to bring for lunch?
Thank Goodness it's my Friday.

Why do people in this town tie kids shoes together and throw them over the electric wires?This is the only town where I always see shoes hung over electric wires.And its always kids shoes.How do they get them up there without getting caught?You would think it would take them a few hundred trys before they finally got them looped over the wires and you think by then someone would have caught them.
Why was it raining on my car today and nobody elses?Even when stopped at red lights,its as if the clouds stopped too and continued to rain on my car,and my car only.
The house talked to me the other day.

This is awesome!! I have so much going through my mind most of the time.
Will my work need me back in the fall? Have to plan parties for/buy presents for DD and DS's birthdays, one of which is 8/22 and one is 9/9. Will my daughter and her friend remember to pick up this huge mess of dress up clothes they have all over the place? When will my sister and brother in law get here? What are we going to do this weekend? Will I find all the stuff DS needs for back to school supplies? I sure miss my mom who passed away 8/9/07 and my father in law who died just this March. It's storming here so the kids can't play outside, which is ok and not ok all at the same time.
If they are inside, I don't have to be looking for where they are outside! Will my son (who has had much anxiety lately) be able to spend the night at my sister's? And what is making my daughter choke/cough every time she eats??
Whew, that was sure random but feels good to get it out!!
Thanks OP!!

will they take one of the screws outa our daughters elbow tomorrow so she can actually finally use it again???
who the heck is calling now???
gotta go can those beans!

Well, it's a bummer my Jeep wouldn't start but I'm glad it was parked right in front of our house when that happened.

We paid for senior cap/gown $, book/tech fee $, team sport $, sports camp $, yearbook $, parking permit $, etc to the school this week. I hope I didn't forget anything.

My DSL bill just went from about $30/month to $49.99 plus tax! So I have got to get a new carrier asap and get rid of Qwest, their rates are ridiculous. I thought 30 a month was ok, but not 50+. Ugh.

Ok...my mind is spinning. I'll play.
Will the rheumatologist discover that it is rheumatoid arthritis that is making my knees so swollen and painful? Can I keep going even with the pain? Can't my family see that I am in pain and could use some help? Do they have a clue what this might mean? Will my nephew be out of the hospital tomorrow? (He has cancer and has had a rough time with the end of his radiation time). Will I be able to use my free hotel night sometime to get away? It's at the casino, so I need some cash and gas and food money to go. That would be soooo nice, but cash is tight. How are we not any farther ahead since I started working? How can a 3 pay check month seem so tight? Will DH EVER do something around here? Our place is a mess. Why are my kids fighting so much? How can the summer be almost over? How are we going to survive football/soccer seasons with all the leagues we are involved in? (4 football and 2 soccer). Why can't I lose weight? I have given up pop and that alone should help me lose 5 lbs a month. I have lost 2 lbs. in 4 months, but it really isn't a priority right now. Ugh.....
