Tiny Magic Bubbles

This post would be perfect for a picture but alas, I did not put one.

I just wanted to stop and minute and talk about my favorite bubbles. They are the surprise ones that come out of the dish soap container. 

There you are doing the every so exciting job of scrubbing dishes in the sink. The water is set to super hot you reach over to get some soap, add it to the dishes, put it down and pop! Right there tiny little bubbles are squeezed out. 

They just shoot into the air and then float slowly down. They are just so pretty to see the colors reflect off their surfaces. 

When there is just one I try to blow it in the air and keep it afloat for as long as possible. When they come out in clusters I turn into a mean cat and try to swat them all down and out as fast as possible.

It doesn't always happen but when the dish bubbles arrive I take it as a moment to enjoy them. They are one of my tiny reminders to stay in the present and take pleasures in the small things. 

Does anyone else enjoy these tiny bubbles? If so leave a comment below!

Clean Cat?

My cat, his name is Lockness Monster. We are not friends. He was adopted from a local shelter and was ferral. Now he is more friendly but most little kids are warned when they come to our house not to mess with the cat. They are afraid of the dog but the cat's going to be the one to cut them. I feel bad for Teach. 

We call Lockness Monster Lock for short. He used to attack me a lot more then he does now. Before he would litterally chase me down the hall and bite me. New Dude was never any help he just laughed and pointed at me.

I have this things with beds where I try really hard to keep all my limbs on the mattress. You know, to prevent monsters from like getting me. Well, there has been more than one time when an arm was over the bed and Lock jumped up and like hug/bit my arm. Talk about childhood horrors coming true! A monster from under the bed did get me!

That is however, is not the point of this post. I wanted to say, cats alwso get into weird spots. Like the above picture.

Or help you with Christma cards.

Or when you need to fold laundry.

Or have a seat.

Nope, this post has gone sideways. The intenet IS for cats! 

Fairness

So since I haven't done anything exciting today but fall asleep after meditating and I still wanted to write but didn't have a topic.

I looked into my drafts folder and saw this, little gem and figured I'd just run with it, so let's go.

All the time you hear the word fair being thrown around. I think it can be an over used just like OCD. Just because you like your stuff to be in order or organized or just your way does NOT make you OCD. You are watering down a condition that some people really struggle with! I digress, that might be another post.

I wasn't feeling this from the original.
I feel that there are times when things should be kept as fair as possible. This pretty much would be children until they are like 20. After that then if things go more towards how relationships are, who helps mom and dad etc, let things lay they want.

Fairness is an idea that people want to be true. However, it simply is not always the way things works. I say this not for people to give up and start stealing from neighbors, cheating on tests, or anything dramatic like that, I'm just stating a fact.

Life is not fair.

I like to think of acting fair is like diet and exercise. It is something you can control so you the best you can by being physically fit and the proper weight. However, these two thing don't mean anything if you get hit by lighting or something else random. Trying to do the right thing and keep things fair is our attempt to control this very unpredictable unfair world. I think, like diet and exercise, it is the right thing to do, it is the smart thing to do, and best option for everyone. I think it is something everyone, including myself, should strive towards but understand that not everyone is after the same goal.

It is also my belief that by the efforts in which people try to keep things fair are also not created equal. Example; if you wanted to keep your dog food even by feeding your Great Dane the same amount as you do a Beagle, well this will only end in tears.

This, coming from a non kid house hold so feel free to judge, treating your kids the same level of respect, fairness, and equality is a must. Yet, your kids are not the same, do not always require the same type of treatments, care, or money which causes all kinds of confusion. The only think you can do is try the best you can. Sadly, not even until they are out of the house. Trying to keep things fair between kids is one of those now and forever type things that comes with making the choice to become a parent. If you don't want to be fair, keep it one kid please and save the world and probably your kids a world of emotional baggage.

That's it, not anything to crazy, just some word vomit for your pleasure. Enjoy and have a wonderful day.
