Can You Hear Me Now?
If it’s Tuesday, this must be Random Tuesday Thoughts. It’s brought to you by Keely at The Un-Mom. She really knows how to rock Tuesdays so go and check her out and tell her the Blue Monkey Butt sisters sent you!

My 11 year old son has developed insomnia. To be truthful, it just sucks. I’ve tried everything, including giving him the herbal supplement melatonin to try and make him sleepy. I’ve just come to the conclusion that he’s just not going to sleep anymore.
I think Elle has begun hanging up on me when she’s done with our phone conversation. This has happened twice now, I’m just rambling on and then it gets quiet and I say, “are you there?” Nothing……she doesn’t even say bye, just poof and she’s gone.
I hate putting laundry away…..I don’t mind washing it, but I don’t want to fold it and put it away.
My dr. is trying a new medicine to try to prevent my headaches. She was going to go with a drug that has the side effect of lowering your blood pressure, but since mine is always really low (98/78 the other day), she decided against it. Probably a good idea or I may be a puddle on the floor.
I’m trying to eat healthy, and exercise. Last week I bought Fiber One Yogurt. Without going into too many details, let’s just say my body rejected it, and I will never buy it again.

Hey Stacy, about the hang-ups? It’s all about me you know.
I didn’t realize how annoying our older dog was until we got another dog that actually tries to be good. Our first dog usually pretends he’s deaf unless we grab a loaf of bread. He can hear the crinkle of a bread bag a mile away in a tornado during a hurricane with sirens going off. The younger dog wants so desperately to be good and it makes him incredibly nervous when the other dog doesn’t listen. He’s all like “Dude, just sit, c’mon, she’s saying sit, just sit, don’t piss her off dude, OMG! OMG! OMG! You’re gonna get us in trouble.” But he doesn’t care, he just continues running around like a gigantic moron until he’s ready to flop down on the floor. Then he has that big goofy dog grin and wags his tail while nervous dog needs a Xanax, a shot of Jack Daniels and a cigarette to calm down.
Yesterday when my husband got home, J-Man was all “Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad.” I’m thinking to myself, “say what, say what, say what, damn-it just say what, SAY WHAT!” If I said what at any point during the Dad, Dad, Dad, J-Man would say “I’m talking to Daddy.” and I’d be like “Really, because it seems the conversation is a little one-sided to me.” So I have to wait it out until finally he says “What buddy?”
Tomorrow is What The Hell Wednesday at Blue Monkey Butt. Did something make you say “What the hell?” this past week? If, like us, you have, then write a post, grab our button and link up. Really, What the Hell?
Stumble it!

Stacy: My daughter used to have insomnia until we figured out she actually has OCD. She sleeps much better now, but then again, she’s medicated.
I hate putting away laundry too. I don’t know what it is that annoys me so much about it.
Elle: That’s funny that your goofy dog makes your other dog neurotic. My one dog is an anxious mess most of the time, the other one is practically comatose. I’ll prefer the latter to the former any day.

I am the same way about laundry. I like it clean, but hate putting it away…

Stacy: So sorry about your son’s insomnia - seeing Mrs. Bear’s comment, I’m wondering if Princess Nagger will end up with insomnia at that age, too, since she’s exhibiting clear signs of OCD behavior. Let me know if you figure out the solution, I might need it for future reference!
I have trouble with the whole putting the laundry away part, too. Getting it done and folded, no problem. Putting it away? Drag my feet every time.
Hope your headache issues get resolved! Doesn’t sound like much fun.
Elle: Your whole dog scenario cracked me up! Travis is 9 months older than Rolex, but Rolex is huge comparatively speaking, so it’s funny to see the ‘petite’ dog act all in charge.
Heh, Princess Nagger does the same thing J-Man does - especially the ‘I’m talking to Dada’ part.

Stacy, good luck with the headache medicine. I hope it helps (I hate headaches).
Elle, we got a dog for a short time and the behavior was reversed. Our current dog is pretty well behaved and got mad when the other dog wouldn’t behave.

I don’t know if I concur with your post here. See you do make an excellent point, I don’t think you’ve actually given a lot of thought to the other side of the argument. Perhaps I could do a guest post or a follow-up, just let me know.

Stacy - That eating healthy stuff is unnatural and THAT’s why your body rejected it. My body hardly ever rejects vodka, and doughnuts and pizza…
Elle - I love it when my son is like Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom and when I turn to him and say what?!? he already forgot what he wanted.

First - WTF is that raw foods diet person talking about??? Bizarre comment. I swear you could do a whole WTH post on it! lol
My sister also hangs up on me. Her excuse? “Oh, sorry, my phone died.” Whatever! It cant happen every damn day!!
