Strangeness

My two women are watching a movie. They do this by turning on the television and inserting a DVD and clicking play.
Then one of them kicks back in the recliner and reads a book while the other gets comfortable in her chair, picks up pen and paper and starts to draw or write. Neither one is looking at the movie. Now if I went in the room and mentioned this both would take offense.
I can only conclude here that (a) the movie is terrible (in which case why have it on?) or (b) they have seen this same movie so many times they are just killing time while waiting for their favorite parts. Either way seems like a waste to me.
However, being the only male human here, I know when to keep my mouth shut, leave the room and stay gone!
My girls are strange...

Peace And Quiet

I have the pleasure of living with two females, one younger, one is my spouse. They can be rather noisy at times, either talking or listening to videos on the internet. The younger one is the noisiest because she cannot refrain from listening to things online and she cannot for the life of her manage to sit still.
The older one is my wonderful wife who, like all spouses, wants to talk. If she isn't here she still wants to talk. In the middle of my last blog post she called me on the phone so we can talk. It's okay, I don't mind talking to either of them if I am not trying to write.
Now the house is completely quiet, except for the usual household noises like the refrigerator motor from time to time and the sound of me typing. I have peace and quiet and I am enjoying it as I know it is short lived.
I like peace and quiet. When I was with my first wife and we had four boys they would always ask me what I wanted for my birthday or Christmas or Father's Day and I would always tell them (jokingly, of course) peace and quiet. I never got this gift then and I won't ever get it now either, not with two females around.
I love all my kids very much and I wouldn't trade the experience of raising them for anything. I never wanted kids but somehow managed to end up with five of them, all of them stepchildren but still, all of them mine. And I love them.
Now I am going to sit back, drink a cup of coffee, smoke a cigarette and enjoy the peace and quiet while I may. I have another post to write and I need to be able to think clearly, something peace and quiet affords me.

What A Pain

I woke up today to find the two females in my house having a serious disagreement. Lots of crying and some screaming, the usual. The disagreement was about money, a commodity that this household has a minimal supply of.
I have to say, two females arguing is as bad as a husband and wife arguing, sometimes it's even worse. I do not like arguing :(

I finished in a tie for second place in a league that I joined online playing games. There was supposed to be some reward forthcoming but it hasn't shown up yet. And the next round, played Monday through Sunday hasn't shown up either. I hope whatever the glitch in the system is they get it repaired soon. I had a lot of fun playing that league and I'd like to do it again :)

In the meantime I shall fill my hours trying my best to earn some extra dollars online with PTC sites and the occasional writing assignment. I hope all of you have a great day :)
