Random Thoughts the 13th: Jason Takes RTT

I miss those days when you would go to the video store with your girlfriend and spend over an hour looking for a movie to rent (secretly hoping you wouldn't really watch much of the movie). You'd go home, put the movie in and get it started only to realize that your girlfriend's curfew was up and it was time for her to go home.

A few times I rented movies I realized halfway through I’d seen it already. Did I mention I drank quite a bit in HS and college?

I did that a few times as well, usually with obscure horror movies. That was where I went first every time. The horror section. When in doubt Evil Dead II was highly rewatchable

I watched naked gun 2 1/2. Went with friends to Friday night flicks in carver hall. About half way in I mentioned that I’d seen a lot of previews on this because I’d seen these clips. Friends girlfriend told that’s because I’d seen it before and I was drunk then too. I decided it was time to leave then, but had them tell me the ending on the way to the bar because I didn’t remember it.

I was listening to a Jim Gaffigan clip the other day and he talks about what it's like having four kids. He said (I'm paraphrasing):

"Imagine that you're drowning.....and then someone hands you a baby"

Wow.....in my experience, that's not common. They should be hardwired. Although my CO detectors are battery operated, they have a small green light that flashes occasionally so you know they are working.
Ours has AA batteries also.
 
Many times, that is a situation of growing apart. Sounds off, but (@cowgirl836 here is a possible pitfall down the road) kids may be great for your relationship and they can be awful for them. You spend so much time devoted to their activities and chasing them around that you lose all hobbies and similar interests when they leave.

Know of a few couples that they became empty nesters and then just kinda looked at each other and realized they had nothing in common anymore and they might as well go their own way.
We've had an empty nest for more years than we had a full nest now...and just as strong as ever. I'm thankful that we are not in that position. :)
 
IDK, I'm pretty sentimental. He's growing way too fast for me right now. I was thinking how much harder things would get if we added another child though.
One is tough. Two is also tough. After that, though....it's a toss-up. My theory has always been that keeping it an even number (2 or 4) is better than 1 or 3 (only child syndrome, and the 2 vs 1 ganging up issues). Nothing that I can back up with actual facts or anything, though! :D

I was usually on the losing end of 2 v 1, so my perspective is admittedly biased. My sisters were 20 months apart, and I was 3 years after the middle sis. So they were either stuck with me, or I was stuck at home. Ah well...I survived.

Yeah, there were 5 years between each of the oldest 3, then only 14 months between the younger 2. Made for some interesting dynamics.
