I know why we all need Prozac

     To say that Cormac is not a good sleeper is an understatement. He hasn't slept through the night in 8 months. Therefore neither have I. He tosses and turns, yells, and sometimes giggles in his sleep, keeping us up all night. I average about 5 hours of sleep on a good night. I do have a great husband that does take the little monster in the morning, allowing me to sleep in. But lately he's been working more and therefore it's just Cormac and I in the morning after Ella (my lovely, vivacious 9 year old) leaves for school. So the other day with leftover mascara from two days earlier burning my eyes, I wake up with Corm and do the most natural stay-at-home Mom thing. (after I make coffee) I turn on the TV. I was scrolling through the million channels with naturally my first stop being E! Hoping for some whack-job Kardashians or maybe some Sex and the City. Nope. What was on was "THS: Rich Kids Who Kill." Um no! I need some happy, not some killing. So next was "TLC's A Baby Story," yeah hell no! The last thing I need is to be reminded of horrific labor pain. My Vagina has still not forgiven me for the size of Cormac's head.
      As I continue to scroll through, one horrific show after another, is the only thing on! With such titles as: "Snapped, I Should Have Died, I Survived, Animal cops, Unsolved Mysteries, 48 Hours Hard Evidence, Primetime to Catch a Preditor," and of course nothing like the million Apocolyptic shows that the History Channel has to offer. This all leaves me thinking. No wonder we are all depressed, anxious and convinced that something bad is going to happen, thanks to daytime television telling us this nonstop. So my advice to you all is to NOT turn off the TV but do what Moms for generations have done...watch soap operas. Not only are they rediculous but perhaps they can help with that non-existent labido we all suffer from, because that's all they do...is do it...and die and come back to life.
Till next time, Jen.
PS as I write this Cormac has found some Monistat cream and trying to squirt it in his mouth. Hmm I wonder if its poisonous? Shit!
