Smells like Rain

Sorry for never posting. Actually, I have lots of feelings. Feelings I used to pour out in my blog all the time. I just never do, even though I know it would make a world of difference in dealing with how I feel. I wrote a few posts that I never published. *shrug* It sucks that even when I am motivated I'm not motivated enough to finish the job. Blah.

LeeLee "helped" (watched, talked to me about what we were doing, then held the lids for me while I filled containers with leftover ingredients) me finish making some chicken enchiladas an hour ago. Yeah, it's late, but I'm still not sleeping. The last few nights I tried just going to bed, but as with any other day I'm just there for hours until I do sleep. So I'm still awake. LeeLee was asleep for a few hours and then stayed up (she'll be in bed soon). The chicken breast had been in the crock pot almost all day (on low), so I didn't want to put it off again.

I was visiting a Simpsons community, clicked a YouTube video that was commented to me, and then clicked this recommended video. LeeLee giggled along and started singing "doo doo do doo..." These series of events have led me arrive at the decision to teach Aaliyah to respond this way when I ask, "Aaliyah, you like ballet?" She will probably pick this up before knowing how to use the pedals on her bike instead of dragging her feet or going backwards. I am a good mother.

Hm. I think this post is a sign I'll be watching my Simpsons DVDs instead of Criminal Minds while I'm waiting to sleep. Good night morning.
