I Might Need Some Help

Molly and Phoebe.

Bringing a whole new meaning to procrastination.

Tuesday Text: Parentexting™

The one where my daughter's level of maturity far surpasses mine:

How did this happen?

Cauliflower soup?

Going to do lots of work?

Monday, Monday

Aquarius

Long after the dust has settled, the smoke has cleared, and everyone has said their piece, you'll still be standing there, asking a bunch of ridiculous questions.

This-n-That Thursday

Very important thoughts:

• Jojoba oil is my new favorite moisturizer.
• I am thinking about stashing some tweezers in my car.
• You should check your TP stash before you prep for a colonoscopy.
• I think Molly might have a new owlet by the end of today.
• I have taken procrastination to a whole new level.
• I don't think I have any hobbies.
• I don't think I've used a dictionary in years...I just look everything up online.
• The same with phone books.
• And maps.
• I never understood why Sandy Bullock was with that guy anyway.
• After Molly eats, I feel queasy.
• I think I'll have about 20 bags to give the Veterans next week.
• If I can tear myself away from the Molly cam. I am an owlcoholic.
• I love almond milk.
• I saw a snowflake on the weather map. I almost cried.

I think I may need help.

Meet Molly

My newest obsession.

Molly is a Barn Owl.

Her mate is McGee.

Molly is here with what is believed to be her first clutch.

This is a live cam outside her owl box near San Diego.

It is on 24/7.

Black and white is the night vision.

It is in color during the daylight hours PST.

We have two owlets so far: Max and Pattison.

McGee roosts in a nearby palm tree during the day.

At night he visits to "bond" and bring food.

Molly leaves the box at night for a few minutes to fly around and poop.

Sometimes I cannot watch her eat her dinner.

Nature is neat but sometimes too real for me.

There are three more eggs that might hatch.

Owl eggs hatch in order of when they were laid.

Now settle in and watch this.

When you don't get anything done today, you can thank me later.

Tuesday Text: Parentexting™

Riveting conversations with two young adults who clearly think I have lost all ability for rational thought:

The Villanova student:

Really?

You are wearing a Villanova jersey?

At the Villanova game?

The STUDENT:

Seriously?

You don't have enough time for all your work?

And you have to get right to that John Mayer concert?

And I'm supposed to be all worried about this why?

And a really good thing I've discovered with this Parentexting™ business?

I can just shut my phone off and walk away.

Life is good in my little empty nest.
