Skinniness is Only Beauty Deep

That's true, you know? I'm working on the 15 pounds I've gained. I thought I'd kick it off with a tan. I'm an idiot and my ass is on fire.

Funny how things happen when you're gone for awhile. Even when you're vacationing from cyberspace. I forgot the comfort of eavesdropping on others. I remember the way some things just make you feel good. Something very strange has happened over at M's place. JM still makes me warm all over (Most importantly, in the important places *wink*). J dreamt about me and I'm not even pregnant. Maybe she still loves me. Larry is still Larry...which is good, Larry. I think I'll hang around awhile.

For those of you who think I don't need you, I do. Probably more now than then. You know me. I measure my worth by those that need me. And when I feel like I'm not needed, I try to stop needing. Dysfunctional, I know.

My children are beautiful wonderful creatures. My oldest is becoming a whole new person. I love it. She talks to me and wants to shop with me. She needs more shoes to go with more outfits. She talks on 3-way with her boyfriend and best friend for hours on end. My middle one still dances with the vacuum cleaner no matter how many times I tell her to get off it. She knocks over everything in her personal area and she sits on my lap when it storms. Edie is beginning to potty train. I take her to the bathroom with me. We're trying the modeling technique. The other day she said, "You're using the potty like a big girl, Mommy?" I said, "Yep, big girls use the potty." She walks over to me sitting on the toilet, wraps her arm around me and says, "Awww, Mommy, you're so smart." As J said...who's training who?

Do you think philosophy makes you dumber?
