Random thoughts..Jewel, Real Estate and lice

Well I went to Jewel yesterday and I have to say - the prices were unbelievable. I was going crazy. I was DYING to discuss w/ someone - an employee, a shopper. No one cared. I couldn't believe it. I was alone in my passion. I was definitely talking out loud enough that if other wanted to join in, they could have just jumped right into my disbelief. But, instead, people acted like $1 Goldfish was an everday day thing. I would say "can you believe this?" And they would look at me like I was nuts.
So, I race home to tell Rob - "I got Life cereal for a buck fifty!!". He could barely care.
Now...I realize that I have always been driven by a bargain but come on. DOESN'T ANYONE REALIZE HOW FABULOUS IT IS TO GET A BIG BOX OF GRANOLA BARS FOR 2 BUCKS.

Anyway - I had to go inward and move on. It really sucks to have to squash joy.

I had an excellent Open House and felt my Real Estate ignition turn on just a bit for the first time in a long time. The attendees were REAL buyers and not just crazies.

And I finally realized what's got me down with the whole lice thing - FEAR. Not the work or the picking or the experience we have had thus far even but the fear of what lies ahead. What if the lice weren't all killed. What if I can't get them all? What if I can't pick them all out of lily's hair by tomorrow when we are back to school. What if I go to pick her hair today and there are MORE? Pure fear.

My sweet boy is having trouble sleeping without me again. It's sweet and for all those naysayers out there who think I am enabling him - shut it. I challenge any loving human to look into his eyes and deny him. He usually goes up to bed and I tuck him in and then he comes down about 3 minutes later and says "I can't sleep very well". It's too sweet. He's in his jammies all warm and snuggly and I know he will just curl up and be loving and funny. I know he will give me tons of kisses and sweetness. Who can deny love? Well I say this much - not mama! And i even think Rob enjoys our evening time b/c it's the only time it's just the 3 of us. So, he just sits w/ us, makes us laugh and then falls asleep so I take him up to his bed....No harm done.
