The Funk of All Funks

Most, okay, not sure on that, but so I have read, that most bloggers get into a funk where they cannot post. Nothing witty comes to mind, nothing exciting has happened to yield the space taken by a blog post, or they completely feel uninspired. Me....not so much.

My funk all began on the eve of the Waxing Gibbous. At least that is what I think the dang thing is called before the moon is completely full.

Yes! I said it. THE FULL MOON!!

I have had one previous post like this where my children seriously act out in ways that I have never experienced. They are not bad kids, they are just.....wacky!

Not to mention that everything under the sun (and moon at this point) could go wrong. Here is my shopping list of funky stuff:

• Full Moon (that's funky enough right?!)
• PMS (ah yes, Aunt Flo....bitch!)
• Ran out of propane while grilling (brisket mind you...this takes a few hours)
• No Health Insurance (yeah not sure the deal on that....called HR...still waiting on a response....GRRRRRRRR)
• Can't schedule the Hubs vasectomy (another funky problem...ick...and we are so done having kids...like three kids ago! LOL See the sister problem above)
• Cell phone was hosed....Seth-en-Stein decided it needed to go for a swim...and the rice trick...didn't save my poor phone.
• Laptop was pulled off table...still functioning (by the Grace of a higher power)
• Kids called Afghanistan....had two phones on speaker next to each other..lots of feedback and screaming...not sure who was screaming on the phone though.
  

I have more...but been such a long week, I am so not going to bore you with my petty details. But needless to say I wasn't about to do a blog post...because with my luck of all lucks with the full moon something would have gone funky there too!

Have any of you experienced the full moon phenomenon where your kids seems to act like demons descended from hell to drive you nuts? Or they act like they are possessed? Can you see her horns? Yeah I think she is looking at them too. I think she is trying to figure out why they are showing. And then the Big G....yeah he is planning plots of mass manipulation.

We're Not in Kansas anymore Toto!

As a mother you can always tell when something is in the air. Either the air is the changing of the seasons as kids become antsy for Spring vacations and summer break or just your run of the mill Full Moon every quarter.

In my home......the FULL MOON reigns. For at least a week my kids act like heathens risen from the bowels of Hades itself. No one....and I mean NO ONE goes to sleep unless drugged. But not really...I have been tempted to administer some Benadryl to induce sleep and render peace in my home, but I have restrained. So they merely go to bed out of sheer exhaustion from fighting to go to sleep. Each child has something to whine or carry on about at a meal. Everyone fights to get dressed, but shivers because they are naked. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE is on a rampage.

Moods flying everywhere. Fits to be had, screaming, shrieking, yelling, crying, whining, the sounds enough make your skin lift up and ask you what the hell is going on! Technically though the moon is only 85% full now, the effects are still felt in my home. Hopefully once we get past the lunar cycle, the Valentine's celebration over the next few days....and the Squids turning ONE (!!!!) on Sunday, then we will return to the happy Munchkin Land and my gnomes will return to their cheerful lollipop twirling Lollipop Guild selves.
