Do you blog in your head throughout the day?

Maybe I'm crazy. OK I am but I wonder if I'm the only person who does this. Something funny, new, awful, etc. will happen during the day and I will go through the writings of a blog post in my head. They are usually very witty but hardly ever get written.
Take last night for example. My thoughts...
It is 9pm and I am barely getting a shower. I was still wearing the pajamas I slept in. Granted I usually only sleep in my G's (TMI) but got really cold and put some on. So I awoke, crawled out of bed, not changing and went about my ever so crazy day (yes I went out in public several times), when I arrived home around 9pm I HAD to shower. I write this because I know I am not alone. I just want others to know, they are not alone. "YOU are not alone!"
Don't feel like an inadequate mother or wife. It happens. For those of you saying, "ooh gross. It doesn't happen to me." Just wait until you have children.
Now my son is around here somewhere. Running around the house naked. Oh, you didn't think I got to shower alone, did you? This to very rarely happens unless it's during nap time and nap time is too valuable. Some people have children who behave while they shower. Mine, not a chance. Can't take my eyes off him for a minute. I of course am now to lazy to dress him and he sure loves the after shower run around nude time (while mommy gets dressed).

That is what went through my head last night.

And tonight while wrapping Christmas presents. Yes I am obsessively organized. I thought..
Wow previous years my gifts have been wrapped beautifully. Gorgeous paper, beautiful hand tied bows (the good ribbon), crafty little tags. So beautiful you don't want to open them. This year, your lucky if the wrapping paper isn't torn. It's definitely is crumpled because Aiden cannot stop dancing on it every time I pull out a new piece to wrap something on. He is grabby at the tape and once the present is wrapped, he likes to stand on it to make sure its not fragile. Why don't I wait until he is asleep, you ask? Because bed time like nap time is precious. It is mommy time, to blog, scrapbook, watch inappropriate shows (inappropriate for a one year old.) Oh and did I mention, I am writing the names right on the paper with a sharpie. No tags this year:)

And these are the blog posts that go through my head throughout the day. And many more that never get written, but I can assure you they were fabulous as I was thinking them up....

I TOTALLY do this! Ryan laughs at me all the time when we're doing something and I say, wow, this would be a great blog! Or when i'm kicking myself because I don't have the camera with me when I could be taking pictures for a blog. I wish I could remember half the things I come up with...

We are so alike, we should hang out more often! And we wouldn't have to be embarrassed to hang out unshowered, still in our pajamas, in a house that looks like a tornado hit because we would all be that way, right? Boy, now that I write it that sounds really white trash...oh well, its true! What did these kids do to us?!!!
