Questions That Keep Me Up at Night

Okay, so maybe they don’t keep me up THAT late because usually I’m too stinkin’ tired to do anything but fall on my pillow and commence drooling, but still.

1) Why don’t people wear their seat belts when they drive? It seems…willfully obtuse. (My apologies if you don’t wear your seat belt routinely, but this is something I just don’t get.)

2) When did they stop teaching rules of right of way? Arch Support nearly got run off the road by a punk frat boy the other day, and it happens to me routinely, too.

3) When does “potty trained” mean really potty trained? Like with no random inexplicable accidents?

4) Why did the previous owners of this house exhibit such great taste, but such cheap-*ss execution on the home-improvement projects they tackled?

5) What will Arch Support do with the millionth bag of beets that I gifted her today from our weekly CSA share?

6) Would I look goofy with longer hair with a perm? Not a spiral perm, but nice loose waves.

7) Where is the missing whale sock that I lost in the wash over a year ago?

8) Will we ever decide we’re ready for more kids?

9) Why don’t they make all kids toys out of soft, squishy materials that compress gently under adult feet? Legos and miniature plastic dolls HURT.

10) Am I going to meet my goal of running a marathon next year? Or will injury or the busy-ness of life get in the way?

Now to go ponder these upon my pillow. G’night, y’all.
