Shitty Timing and Comic Relief

Guard your chocolate ladies and gentleman...yep, it is that time again.

So, I don't get bitchy during that time of the month, but I am overly emotional...poor, poor Levi.  He has been very busy at work, so just when I need extra cuddling and attention, he needs extra sleep...like the kind where his eyes are closed before his head hits the pillow.  Then he comes home this week with news from work...a potential move up which means we have to move.  I am so proud of him and tell him so...then he notices me getting very quiet at dinner.  I explain that I am just a little nervous...but happy for us.  (insert fake smile...I am truly terrified, but don't want to tell him just yet)

Have I mentioned that I don't handle change well!  Especially during that specific week...plus it has been three days since we had any adult time...before I started this, that would not have bothered me...now I am missing it...has this happened to anyone else?  I suppose it is an increase in my sex drive?

Anyway, I digress...and will probably do that several times this post as that is another habit of mine during this time.  It is very frustrating for your rational brain to be very conscious of the fact that you are being completely irrational and not be able to do anything about it except wait a week!

Ok, what was I talking about...oh yeah, moving.  I hate moving!!  We knew we needed to move soon anyway as we are outgrowing our house and hey, the company will be footing the bill.  But all the little crap that goes with moving....schools, activities, friends being mad at you...Aggghhhhh.  Ohhhmmmmmm, Ohhhmmmmm...think I need to take up meditation (I truly can't sit still and quiet that long). 

So I am an emotional wreck and trying to calm my inner freak out over here and needed some comic relief.  We had a few silly family moments yesterday and I thought I would share.  I played some Christmas music during dinner and O Holy Night came on...I had started the dishes by this point and Levi began to dance with me in the kitchen...I am thinking Awwww..what a sweet guy I have...then he begins to sing O Holy Night...Eric Cartmen style.  Goofball:) 



Then it was time for the older two to shower so I made up my own song and we all began adding lines...

Oh my dear sons,
It's time to take your shower,
Please do make sure that the curtain is closed.
Cause if you don't,
then mommy will be mad,
when there is water all over the floor.

(My husband added)
And please make sure that you
actually flush the toilet
cause it sure stinks
and we don't wanna smell it.

(My oldest:)
Please stop your singing!
My ears will begin bleeding!
O night, be over

Ok, so probably not very reverent, but we were rolling on the floor laughing and the dog was whining:)  And I felt a little better:)

Then I really wanted to share an awesome post with Levi that Elisa wrote about being a first follower.  It is a beautiful post and came with this great video.  I was all excited about this post because it made me feel better about my role in our marriage...the video is awesome too...go check it out..I was excited about my role after watching this:
So my dear Levi humored me and watched the video...

Um, so you are saying that I am the naked dancing guy? (said in a confused way)

Yes, isn't it great (said all excited)

So, who are you?

I'm the first follower...see, he's the lone nut and the first follower didn't want him to be alone...the first follower makes him not a lone nut (still very excited, but starting to say things cautiously as the look on my husband's face gets more exasperated)

I'm a lone nut?

Yes, I mean no?  You're the leader, you aren't alone anymore.

So, before you were following I was just a lone nut?   (sexy smirk, now he is teasing me, eye roll included)

He got it and did enjoy the post...but enjoyed teasing me too:)

Well, these things were funny to me, but maybe not so funny as I read them...they made me laugh and I figured maybe I could make someone else laugh with our sillies...

and now to find the chocolate....

  1. Hi Bea :)

    I am an emotional hormonal mess...so I feel ya! My poor husband doesn't know what to do with me half of the time ;)

    The sex thing...I miss it too when it has been a few days...this from a woman who used to be able to go forever without it. I think women miss the closeness or something. I have no idea, but I am in the same boat.

    And lastly, I love that he was teasing you about being a lone nut! :)

    1. You poor thing...pregnant hormones are worse I think...you have a lot longer to wait before you feel back to normal...well, this reply is encouraging (note sarcasm).
      Sorry sweetie! Maybe it is the connection...good thinking:)
      Go prop your feet up!

  2. Oh this----->* It is very frustrating for your rational brain to be very conscious of the fact that you are being completely irrational and not be able to do anything about it except wait a week!* THIS ARGH...see...I can't even come up with a clever comment because I am living it.

    AND the kids had the nerve to finish all the good halloween chocolate! Who hands out Coffee Crisps? Jerks that's who!

    Yes..I like to call this (synching cycle btw) the HORROR-MOAN week. I can literally fall asleep standing up too! BUT this time I knew it was coming. Usually I am all..WHAT? Why the heck have I gained weight? Freakin' pimple ! ( pssst and I even track it on the calender) and then I am " Ohhhhhhhhh...that's why" DUH!

    Sorry see I am in the same boat- The S.S. Kotex.

    Aside from being blessed to be a woman what was this post about again?..oh look something shiny..

    1. I am sure he is out there somewhere...I wouldn't suggest calling him one though as they apparently don't take that well:) LOL!

    2. Yes, lol, I'll wait until we're married before springing that moniker on him! Thanks for the warning :-).

  4. Don't focus on moving until it is absolutely necessary. Now just focus on getting through hell week. haha. Seriously, have a great week.

    Love the new words to the Christmas song.

  5. We are going to move someday as soon as our home sells, but everything is packed away and hard to get to. I loved your song.

  6. Congrats to Levi on the new position. :) Moving is tough but the two of you will make it work, together.

    I love the family silliness - Will and I firmly believe that those spontaneous moments become the lasting memories our kids will hold onto and share with their children. We have lots of those kitchen-singing-dancing-laughter nights here, too.

    I'm so glad, and honored, that my post resonated with you, Bea. Tell Levi that lone wolves have confidence and a great sense of humor - which is why he continues to draw you to him years later. :)

    Now, the real question is...how good is he at dancing alone on a hilltop in front of thousand's of people? ;)

    1. Now that was an awesome visual!!! I shall laugh at that one for a while:)

      As much as that is probably what I am doing...I don't like that S word either:) It's all in the semantics I guess...words have such negative conotations sometimes.

      I love those silly family times:)

      He will probably like lone wolf better than lone nut:)

      I love how you write Elisa...thanks for letting me link to you:)

  7. Bea,
    Did you read Bas' comment on my post? Love, love it. I think it may be good for Levi to see - I'm showing Will in a few minutes. :)

    1. I hopped over there and saw that...that is awesome...I read a book recently (Married Man Sex Life Primer-(some good, some eh in that), but it described marriage as the Captain/First Officer thing like Star Trek. So the Captain always asks the First Officer his opinion and if the Captain is not on the bridge then the First Officer is in charge. The author explained it much better than I just did...maybe I can find that part and email it to you.

  8. Thanks for the funny word substitutions to O Holy Night. I do that too, with BIKSS. We make up our own words to songs that are in our heads. Sometimes with strange results! But always with lots of laughter

  9. One of the things I love about Ian is his wit and yes, his just general silliness. It is a kind of all purpose marital glue for the times when things are coming to pieces.
    hugs

  10. You guys are silly! It's sort of fun to have silliness with a bit of an undercurrent to it isn't it?

    Laughter is great medicine for just about anything that's imperfect.
