People are so confusing. This isn't one of those angsty oh-my-god-life-is-so-confusing-and-people-don't-make-sense-gonna-bawl-my-eyes-out confusing, just, in general. People are confusing.
And let's not confuse Confusing with Complicated. People aren't complicated, just confusing.

There was a family meeting this morning, where, once again the kids' father displayed his uncanny ability to resemble a four year-old having a tantrum. I felt kinda bad for the kids--not incredibly so because there was merit to some of what he was saying, but the rest...he just really needs to get over himself.
It really made me just want to go for a good cuddle.
I may employ a friend to help me with that later today, we'll see. I'm not feeling incredibly bad about the whole thing, just, feeling bad vicariously through the children and their mother.

Something made me kind of laugh today, but also feel good at the same time.
Yesterday on Facebook I did a quiz a friend had sent me, asking which of the orginal 151 Pokémon characters I was. Since the kids here are obsessed with that show and the game, I figured I'd take the quiz for fun, and tell them the results so they could have a good giggle.
Well, I took it, and I got Pikachu--one of the only characters I actually know. I have to say I was slightly pleased. The description was rather like me, and I like Pika-Pika. :D
Of course, when the results were posted I had to comment, and I wrote "me so kawaiiiiiiiii!" (Kawaii is Japanese for "cute").
This morning, when I checked my facebook, a friend of mine, who I believe still enjoys the show...
anywhoo, he had typed that he begged of me to never say that word in his presence. First of all, I was thrilled that someone else on facebook would know what kawaii means, and second of all, it made me giggle that this person would be horrified to have it used around him.
I can't really explain why it makes me giggly and happy, but it does.

On a side-note, I got my three pairs of headphones I ordered in the mail today. (although I missed the UPS guy, I just heard him saying there was a package to one of the kids, and he sounded like he was an attractive man. damn it. :[ Oh well.)

Whew. all this before 12:30....

And I think I still want that snuggle time...
