Today is Tuesday! So what, you say? According to Keely, that means it is time for Random Tuesday Thoughts. And, if you don’t love Tuesdays, that means you don’t work from home with school-age children. Anyone with school-age children knows that Tuesday means everyone leaves you alone your office. Although with school almost out for the summer, that will change (sigh). Speaking of children, I am selling a very, nearly 10 year old. Cheap! There is nothing better than being woken to screams of, “you’re a liar!” Such a charming start to the day. Why was Libby accusing me of lying you might ask. Well, she was upset that she had no shorts in her laundry basket. She did have shorts, but has decided she doesn’t like them. So I am not only responsible for doing everyone’s laundry, but am now responsible for tracking everyone’s constantly changing likes and dislikes. I can’t even track clean laundry for myself, let alone the rest of the family. Have you ever gone to get dressed and realized you have no clean underwear? No, just me? Fine, I don’t have a great handle on the laundry. Suck it up and get over it. Last week, I found out that I am not the only one addicted to “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.” This portion of the post is for those who watch. If you don’t watch, you will have no idea what I am talking about and I am sorry (although you should start watching, all the cool kids are doing it). I am very disappointed that Francine and Angela are gone. Their participation inspired me to create a new television show. I think someone should produce, “I’m a Comedian, Get Me Out of Here.” It would limit the reality show participation, but at least it would be funny. Now that the comedians have left the show, there seems to be a lot more whining and a lot less funny. Libby is graduating from 4th grade next week (yes, they have a ceremony and more than one person has suggested I bring tissues, ugggh). Libby and I have already started the clothing battle. She wants to wear her special graduation flannel pants. I want her to wear a dress. I have enlisted a friend of hers in the battle (without her friend’s knowledge). I will let you know who wins. It suddenly got really dark out. If it doesn’t lighten up soon, I am going back to bed. I have been up for a few hours have gotten everyone off to school and almost wrote a whole blog post, that should be enough for the day. That is it for my Random Tuesday Thoughts. Now that you are finished here, stop by and visit Keely. She is back on a zombie kick (that she never really left) so you can read all about her zombie fantasies dream here.

I like Frangela on the various VH1 shows they appear on. Of all the “celebrities” on “I’m a Celebrity,” they’re the only ones who have really done anything recently (ignoring Speidi ignoring Speidi ignoring Speidi).
I tried to watch that show last night before I went up to the barn but it just didn’t work. I was too interested in eating grass.
I am thinking the dress is the way to go too.
We had a fifth-grade graduation Outfit Battle at our house, too! Surprisingly, though, I was pulling for the more mature-looking dress and my 10-year-old wanted to wear the one that made her look like she was in kindergarten.
I won. After I told her the dress made her look like she was in kindergarten.
Good luck.
I’m still trying to sell off my 20 year old
Oh I am so addicted to I’m a celeb too! I think Frangela was funny, I am going to miss Angela, I wish it was Janice instead. I am so over her!! LoL
)
Now selling the girls can we add mine and make it a package deal?
I’m thinking that 10 is the new perfect age for learning how to do laundry!! That is the one chore I despise–it just never ends!
I like your idea for the show. I haven’t watched that much of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, though I did see Heidi chomping on some bug or something. Lately I’m addicted to the Housewives of NJ. It’s shameful, and I love it.
While I applaud your endeavors to unload your 10 year old, I am not in the market. I do, however, have a gently used 15 year old whom I am willing to part with.
I can’t believe Frances quit. The only thing I know her from is she was on Hannah Montana, I never even heard of the other lady before. Good luck with the clothes battle.
special…graduation…flannel pants? For real? That’s AWESOME. You should let her wear them, she’ll be mortified about it within the year
Kids can be so rigid about their wardrobes. My six year old won’t wear any shirt with a collar unless it’s for school. Although if he woke me up by calling me a liar at the top of his lungs, I might have to Judo chop him in the throat.
I like the dress idea. Good luck with that. I also like the idea of selling the kids.
Random comments for random thoughts. 
Hmm special flannel pants sounds so comfy LOL. You have a stubborn one on your hands. She might be my little ones twin.
I have actually gone to find clean underwear and not been able to…and then I put on Hubbys. Bad. I know. And gross. I know.
I’ve never heard of that show. Laundry is one chore I can not keep up with. Maybe someday I’ll get a handle on it but I know what it is like to run out of underwear. Have a wonderful day!
That is really special that they have a ceremony when graduating 4th grade! Congrats to her (I’m sure I will need the Kleenex when my son is that age – heck, I will when he graduates preschool, haha)! P.S. Thank you for the nice words about Logan’s birthday!
4th grade graduation ceremony? That’s a bit much.
Ugh. I always have underwear handy cause I hate going commando. I think 10 years old is a perfect age to start doing laundry. If you get a chance, stop by my blog and enter my one year anniversary contest. First prize is a deluxe Out of the Box Sampler!
