My mind has been a jumble of randomness, lately, and I’ve (clearly) taken to jotting down some of these random thoughts as they occur to me.
1. Anyone else sing along to the instrumental end of “Hotel California” with a lot of “wa-wa-wa-waaaaaaa” and “digidoo-digidoo-digidoooooooo?”
It came on in the car the other day and Monkey Girl looked at me and said, “Is that it? Aren’t there any more words? Why are you making those sounds? Stop, already!”
Can’t help it. Must listen until the end and “sing” along with the guitar.
Awesome.
2. Monkey Girl and I have decided that this will be us when she leaves for college:
That being said, in trying to find this commercial online, I found that there are many, many people who think this is completely asinine commercial, and possibly the worst they’ve ever seen. They say it degrades women and is insulting to the consumer public.
Whatever.
It just reminds me that my girl is leaving home, someday, and even if she is 4.2 miles across town, I’ll miss her.
A lot.
3. Can’t stop thinking about the season finale of Vampire Diaries.
She picked Stephan.
Ick.
Now she’s a freaking vampire?
Whatever.
Disappointing.
4. When I was a kid, I wanted to be in the Go-Go’s.
I didn’t want to be Belinda Carlisle, though.
I wanted to be Jane Wiedlen.
Guitarist and vocals.
She was badass, and I wanted to be badass, too.
I totally wasn’t.
But I wanted to be.
She rocked the short hair and I had to keep mine long.
See her? Second from the left? Wearing white when everyone else is wearing black?
Rebel.
Now?
Green hair!
So wanted to be her.
5. Monkey in the Middle bought himself an iTouch.
He is now texting me all the time.
Which is fine, however…
Sound familiar, anyone?
And with that, I bid you a Happy Mother’s Day!
Oh Amy, I love that commercial too!! It is exactly how I reacted when my Ds left for school. I hope you have a very Happy Mother’s Day!

Have a great Mothers Day! I’d say take the day off, but I think all you want to do is be with your kids!

My very favorite commercial! My dd is nearly 17 so I can relate to feeling like that. Have a great Mothers Day Amy and enjoy your monkeys!

I love this one and the one where Peter, Stewie, Chris and Brian have the ipecac contest…whoever drinks the ipecac, but barfs last wins. Laughing at that episode broke my water with Matthew and brought him two weeks early. No kidding.
