Yep, I'm going to crash. I am just not getting enough sleep, and the only reason for it is just that I can't sleep. It's not stress related, it's just my body going funky. It's done this before, where I've been an insomniac zombie for months. Hopefully it passes soon, because, blech.
...I just went to go fold the laundy from last night and discovered I put it in the dryer, but never turned it on. Oops? Maybe I should just change my blog name to Confessions of a Scatterbrained Psychotic Housewife. Too long? Yeah, I think so too. Tooooooo lazy to type that much out!
So it turns out that our local Walmart shooting was a 31 year old guy and sadly, a 13 year old girl who had run away from home to be with him. I can't say I was exactly a bunch of cherries for my parents when I was 13, so I can't comment there - but the situation is sad for all involved. You can't exactly fault our local LEO's because, hello, crazy man shooting into a parking lot. (Our local Walmart is the hot spot on the weekends, lol) How many local folks will admit they breathed a sigh of relief though when it was discovered he was from out of town? C'mon - admit it! You did!
I will admit I was shocked at all the people who were saying oh, it's so perfect here.... nothing ever goes wrong here. Can you say delusional? Have you not paid attention to the meth problem? The tagging that is out of control everywhere in town? A cruiser got it's back window shot out awhile back just down the street from me! I haven't taken a walk down the side of the road in over a year after I noticed exactly how many dirty needles I saw on a 3 mile span - um, no thanks. I won't put my child or my dogs at risk for stepping on one of those. And don't get me started on the break-ins and vandalisms. I'm sure a lot of you have noticed it in your own towns too - Mayberry is no more :( It's not like it's any better back in Texas - the Superette down the street from my in-laws was held up a few weeks back. (And that guy got the idiot of the year award after reading he was caught being served for missing court.)
...Natural selection. It happens for a reason. Just sayin'. lol
So I'm on the hunt for a dress for the zombie prom. I would make do with one of my dresses, but I'm looking for white/pink so I can trash it - black doesn't show blood very well. lol Plus, as hard as it is to find my style of dresses, I'd rather not trash one.
It's almost five and we are still waiting for DH to get home - sigh! I'm starving!
...I hope the grocery sale ads for the "Big Game" are better this year than last. I need to do some serious snacking stocking up!
BWHAHAHAAA! One of the cats just rolled off the bed. Do cats always land on the feet? The answer is... not always! LOL!! Sabbath is sitting there now with this What just happened? look on her face. LOL!

I love the look on the cat's face when they fall like that. At first it is pure terror, but then it turns to "I meant to do that". HA!
Nah, I wouldn't call it natural selection, it's too many people being diagnosed with a "mental disorder" and being told by the psychiatric profession and Big Pharma "here, take this pill and you'll feel better". Too many times the pills make them go CRAZY and they end up doing something stupid/violent.
Seriously, Google information on all the school shootings/mass murders that have happened in the past few years. Odds are most if not all of the perpetrators had some kind of psychiatric diagnosis and were on meds. I would not be surprised if it comes out that the guy that shot Gabby Giffords and killed all those other people was on prescription drugs (look at the different pictures of him that have been shown in the media, the older ones look completely normal but his mug shot looks like Hannibal Lecter. Reports from many of his friends said that his personality went through a major change not long before the shooting. A result of going on psychoactive drugs, maybe?).
Ugh...it's 4am and I haven't slept yet, wouldn't be surprised if I end up having a long nap this afternoon and screwing up my sleep pattern for tomorrow night too. I've been spending a lot of time lately second guessing putting my son on meds for his ADHD, at least one of them has really screwed up his brain chemistry I think. Makes me kind of sad, I feel like there was a person he was meant to be and now that's gone forever.
My parents call Port Orchard Mayberry. Which compared to where they moved up there from it probably is. But still stuff happens even in the smallest of towns.
