Miss Independent

I have a really hard time dealing with people that can't think for themselves.

Kelly has several people that constantly call him with computer problems.  I'm not talking about, "my hard drive crashed and I'm trying to pull data off of my computer before I throw it out" (he gets those too). I'm talking, "I can't print this word document" or "that button at the top on Internet explorer is gone, how do I get it back?"

I have had too many situations, too many jobs where they plop me down in front of a stack of papers or a computer and say, "figure it out" and I do.  I have had to look the answer up on the Internet, ask a friend when I get home, or play around until I find an answer or solution. I have a real lack of respect for people who can't problem solve or troubleshoot on their own.

Morning

So I know everyone is gleefully sending their kids to school, but I started a rotten morning until Kelly rescued me.

I left my windows down last night and my car and car seat got soaked.  I broke my 2nd coffee pot in a month and had no coffee this morning.

Kelly dropped by and brought me coffee, changed my whole outlook.

Wow! I didn't realize my last post was unpublished and here I am again frustrated about Luke going to sleep.

Sometimes it is the weirdest things that make him sit up strait and pay attention mid-doze.  The most frustrating is when it is Kelly.  I've always imagined parents creeping away from the crib together silent and praying the smallest creak doesn't wake the baby.  I don't feel like I have that partner in these frustrating times.  I feel like Kelly is inconsiderate of Luke and I and where we are in the falling asleep process.

When I try to point out to him that he wakes the baby he either blows it off like, "oh sorry. He'll go to sleep again." Or gets belligerently defensive and says all I do is point out the things he does wrong.

Why doesn't he appreciate my position on anything. Why can't he ever feel sorry for me...ever.

Unsleeping

Holding Luke trying to put him back to sleep. This has to be one of the most frustrating chores of all time. He's laying in my arms, he's tired, he just won't close his eyes and go back to sleep. I NEED him to start napping better. This has been a disaster for months. I get so angry at him. I feel like he's not falling asleep to spite me. I have better things to do than just sit and hold him all day. I usually need to go pee and am hungry too which makes me sick at my stomach and grumpier.

48 Hours

Finally watched 48 Hours with Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy. Considering this is a classic and the movie that made Edddie Murphy a star, I was very disappointed.  It was a good film, but not great.  It wasn't very funny and the racism hard to swallow and allow.

I think that maybe it has been copied so much that the jokes aren't funny and the story unoriginal. I think at one time it was probably ground breaking and that's how it won its spot

I have gone back and watched other older movies for the first time and they seem to have weathered time a little easier. This movie doesn't really stand up to current movie standards today like other flicks from the early eighties.
