Confessions of a Desperate Housewife: May’s blog

It’s 3 am and I’m wide awake. Nathan’s been waking me up for the past year or so at around 1 or 2 am for various reasons: milk! (any wonder he’s 2-1/2 years old going on 20 kgs when he should only be 13 kgs max???), when he’s all sweaty (even with the aircon on - hazards of being a fat little piglet), and in the past week, to throw up (mostly phlegm - he’s had a cough for 4 weeks and is on his 2nd round of antibiotics now).  My apologies for my squeamish readers  (is anyone reading my blog anyway?), but once you become a parent, this scene will become all too familiar.

One of the nice things about being a bum is that I can sleep in once Elena (the midwife/nanny) arrives at around 8 am.  I’m developing bad habits though.   I try to stay in bed and fall back asleep, but my meditation techniques just haven’t been working (must…try…harder… ooohmmmm…). 

This is my chance to have quiet time to myself, you see.  Kids are sound asleep and I can go online to check my email (free dialup from midnight to 8 am!) and go on Friendster and fix my profile.  Problem is, I’ve only started blogging, and that isn’t going to help me sleep better.  But this blog is my personal Pensieve (Harry Potter fans know what i mean) and a diary of sorts. 

Or I catch a bit of TV to try to get sleepy, and of course that doesn’t work either. Funny things you see on TV at these odd times.  I can catch some good shows like CSI (AXN), Ed (ETC), replays of Rockstar: INXS (but that’s gone now), Conan O’Brien, Leno, and Mad TV (Jack TV).  But last night was really pathetic. Jack TV was showing this cartoon that looked like a spoof of Batman.  The bad guy reminded me of the Penguin.  But the next scenes were set in a strip club (complete with blurry stuff in front of the stripper’s t*ts.  And, the superhero was a Blonde busty lass named Striperella. Funny, sick, and reminded me of some famous blonde bimbo.  I finished the show to check the credits, and I was right!  Striperella was voiced by (and probably, based on) Pamela Anderson!!!  Hilarious.

I also finished catalouging my video collection  last night.  I’ve been unable to pass a "VCD SALE: P99 only" sign for the past several months with out taking a few (or more) titles home.  I’ve got a total of 154 videos now, mostly originals, thank you.  I was ecstatic when I found some really good films from my youth recently. Check this out: The Princess Bride, The Little Prince, A Fish Called Wanda, E.T.  I’m still looking for Strictly Ballroom, Labyrinth, Never-Ending Story, Flight of Dragons & Noises Off.

I was supposed to write about some other stuff, but it’s really 2 or 3 blog’s worth of topics.  I’ll save those for tomorrow and just upload this one first.  Nathan just woke up again. Time for me to sleep
