Friday Fragments #46

And it's Friday again. What? Another week has flashed by seemingly in an instant. Speaking of flash...Have you seen that there is a new Flash series for TV? People always ask "what super power would you like to have?" I think being super fast would be awesome! As long as it made me super fast at chores, as well. And it really wouldn't help with drop off and pickup unless I could be super fast and strong enough to carry my kids in the process. Still, being super fast seems really cool.Though when I think of flash, I still remember the cubes I would attach to my camera as a kid. It was a BIG deal when I got my first Kodak that had a "built-in flash". We've come a long way, baby.And since I seem to be traveling down memory lane, do you remember these ads for Virginia Slims?I hope that the long way we've come is giving up smoking!

Last week's frags were dedicated to the failures I had experienced receiving my packages. Well, call this frag "Failure 2.0". On Tuesday night, I allowed my daughter to stay up to watch the Live Finale of America's Got Talent. We had watched the show all summer and my daughter was very excited to see the final performances. Unfortunately, NBC chose to show an ad for the new movie "Annabelle", the prequel to the film "The Conjuring" about an evil doll. Oh my goodness! My poor little girl lost it! She became hysterical and cried for two hours.Now I am not against scary movies. In fact, I saw "The Conjuring" and enjoyed it but they really should be more careful for the timing of the ads. AGT is a family show. In fact, a good number of the contestants this year were children. Why would they show an ad for a scary film during that time? Especially one that centered on evil toys? REALLY? In my best Amy Poehler voice, "Really?"She was so upset that she now "hates" the show and didn't want to watch the results. Really bad move, NBC. Really bad move.

But enough complaining for me. I realized that I have been doing a lot of that lately. Also there has been sighing (a lot of sighing) and worse, I've been speaking of myself in the 3rd person. You know, that passive aggressive, "Mommy" did this or "Mommy" really needs that, etc. It's been ugly and I need to do better.On that note, I feel a little more able to combat the complaining now. I am actually feeling a hope that I have not had in a long time. I have added a new med to my regime. Now as anyone with chronic illness can tell you, the thought of swallowing another pill is not appealing but it seems to be helping! It is the first thing that has helped with the overwhelming fatigue. I have felt better this week than I have in months. I am cautiously hopeful that it will continue but I am very thankful for the improvement.
