Friday Fragments #35

This Friday I am catching my breath after 15 nonstop days and before two more. I went straight from two blogging events, a trip to California right into teaching seventeen 11-14 year olds for two weeks. So you'd think that I would have plenty of Fragments to share with you this Fridays but I am so scattered that I forget what I wanted to write before I can record it on my phone, much less write it down. But here we go...I am tired.I am so tired that I have begun dreaming about fighting for sleep. Seriously, I woke up at 3:00 am from a dream where my kids were stealing my sleep. Now I don't think I have to read a dream book to figure out that one. :-)

Speaking of kids, my daughter came to a big revelation. She was watching a kids show on the Disney Channel. After about the third commercial resulting in the third request for something she now wanted but hadn't heard of one moment prior, a light bulb goes off. Little Diva exclaims, "Mommy, Commercials are basically just buy this or buy that". The surprise at this hit her so hard that it took everything I had not to laugh. I had to appreciate what a novel concept it was to her while so obvious to me.

Finally, am I the only one that is driven crazy by the short music loops on DVD menus? If it gets left on, it plays over and over. Every night Occasionally, we fall asleep to DVDs and it wakes me up. This is probably just a me problem but alas...

So that's my less than exciting Frags but the best this overtired "fighting in her sleep for her sleep" girl can give. Check out WAY better Frags at Mrs. 4444's place Half Past Kissin' Time.
