The Random Thoughts Quick Takes

1. When to Turn Your Headlights On

A simple question answer for you: 

1. Is it raining? 

Then turn your headlights on.

2. Are you using your windshield wipers?

Then turn your headlights on.

3. Is it bright and sunny? 

You don't have to but if it helps you develop good habits then turn your headlights on. 

This is brought to you by the many number of people driving without headlights on during the crazy rain on the highway. The kind where your wipers are in hyper-drive, you slow down and you're thankful the toddler is asleep and buckled in safely so you don't have to worry about him. 

2. We're Still in Post-Vacation Mode

There's still some putting away to be done. And there's been a lot of pajama days since we got here. I'd be ashamed but... somehow I just don't care. I desperately need to clean the bathroom, it's bothering me though I know I cleaned it right before we left. So it's really not overdue it just bugs me. 

3. I Spent Last Saturday at Magic Kingdom

I am in post-Disney visit depression. Not really a depression but a "How was that a week ago?" and "When can I go back.?" kind of mind set. I knew going in it was going to be extremely crowded. And it was. Oh it was. The conversations I overheard ranged from inane to hilarious. 

I managed to NOT sternly yell at the kid in front of me in line for It's A Small World and I dedicate that to the grace of God. His family was paying zero attention to him and he would not move forward. He also continually invaded my personal space. By walking backwards. If you've ever been in a queue at Disney you know that "personal space" is a vague term anyhow but this kid managed to invade it. Even when I'd switch sides with Husband to get away from him. 

4. Spring is Here with a Vengeance

We haven't seen the sun since we left Florida. It's just rainy gloomy Spring. And the grass needs to be cut really badly. I think I may be the only person who doesn't actually like Spring. With Winter, you know it's going to be cold. And you just come to grips with that fact. Summer is the same way except for being hot. Fall, you know that it will eventually be getting cold so any day that's beautiful is a special gift. 

But Spring? It's just teasy and makes no sense. Is it warm today? Or is it back in the 40s for a week? Is it rainy? There's no reasoning with Spring. You have to account for all weather from flurries to upper 70s. Packing sunscreen and mittens in the same bag is not my idea of a lovely season. 

5. We've Entered Our Last Month with a One Year Old

It went so fast. I can't believe it. Memorial Day is going to come fast. 

6. I May Be the Last Person to Read #SOTG

Because I didn't preorder it. And I still haven't real ordered it. Is it loanable on Kindle? Anyone want to lend it to me? I perhaps wrongly assumed there'd be giveaways galore with this book and I was going to try my hand at that since everyone clearly already pre-ordered it or got an early copy. Ah well, I am sure I'll get around to it at some point. 

7. It's Friday

I know that's pretty obvious. But man I am excited for this weekend. We're going to get the house back in real order, we have brunch with friends this weekend and well... I am just thrilled about it being the weekend!
