i'm really bored and too physically miserable to do anything about it.

How about a warm bath, get a cup of coffee or tea, and relax on the sofa with a good book? That what I do when I feel like doing nothing and something at the same time. Minus the bath part, I take showers

 

two kids and BLEEDING. this is why i'm miserable. it's the kids, dammit.

 

Ah I see.
You know what though? My son was laying down but, he didnt want to nap. So I made him at least try for 45 minutes. And I just went to him and said "Ok, do you want to get up and play with the kids?" (Im babysitting) and he jumped up and said "I can play kids?!" all excited. Innocence always breaks my heart

 

duct tape them to the ceiling above the couch. that way you can lay down, relax and keep an eye on them

 

YOU, marie, are a freaking genius.

i just bribed kai with ice cream if she'd clean her room for once.

 

duct tape is always the answer that comes to mind with my daughter...though I have never used it....but gosh do I have fun envisioning the ways that I can bind her chaotic energy when it is full speed.

If I didn't laugh I would cry sometimes from the stress of it all. i am sure you are feeling that way today.

 

Alright forget all that innocent cute shit, he peed and my couch is freakin soaked. Ah wtf

 

yeah, it's kinda that day. i'm completely clinging to my corner of the living room and watching my cheerful Kali's bring about the end of my peaceful home...

 

joey has peed on my floor twice in two days. she laughed both times. and i have NO IDEA what she just flushed down the toilet. i'm too tired to go look.

 

The joys of parenthood! On the bright side, the couch was free lol

 

I'm jealous of you guys' misery.

I need a baby.

 

I want a new kitten. My cats are lame.


You need a puppy, not a baby.

 

true.

 

Do you really want to have kids someday praxi?

 

If I stumble upon a loving relationship?

Absolutely.

 

oh yeah, i totally believe he does.

 

I want an army of little Napoleons and Napoleonettes.

 

I got that kind of vibe off ya from your posts here
And when you do, you can teach them all about philosophy! Im sure they will be little geniuses. When my son gets old enough I want to try meditation with him and take him to the forests and hopefully be a respectable father to him as he grows. I have a feeling that even though Im young still, I will retain my broad interests and not lose sight of my opinion that being young is being open, and being open brings true happyness.

 

Meditation = the very first lesson.

 

Yep
And it's funny how some people are just predisposed to it. I remember my parents never forcing me to do anything until about 13 and then it was my stepdads insane yard work. But even as a real little kid, I remember being more fascinated and involved with my thoughts and reflecting on life than I was with toys are cartoons or whatever. And it never stopped, I didnt even know about meditation in any traditional sense until I was a teen, but I was always wondering. Not even a day dreamer really, just an observer who couldnt help but dare to look deeper.
I see that a lot in Jack, even if he is wild and goofy all the time. He always seems to focus so intensly on everything new
