It Got Me Thinkin'

Yes, I do ponder from time to time...did you smell something burning?

I survived 4 hours at the shopping mall this morning with both girls in tow! No tantrums, no crying, hell, we even all sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star together with our volume buttons on loud in the middle of Woolies...I was in one of those "don't give a shite" moods and yes, we did get some funny looks and a couple of laffs. We actually had fun...and then

...ONE incident.

Megan accidentally pulled Kaylin out the trolley and KK topppled over from a standing position in the trolley and crash landed on her head, again! She has this wonderful tendency to land on her noggin' when she falls. I have no idea how she gets it right. Perhaps its all that grey matter in her head that weighs so much. Well, its either that theory or the Jam-on-Toast theory.

You know the one where you drop your just-about-to-munch-freshly-made piece of toast but it slips out your hand and on to the floor and the side with the jam ALWAYS lands face down and you land up either throwing the toast away and making another or if you're me (a complete pleb) you'll try to blow the fluff and add more jam to disguise the gritty bits. Kidding! I also make a new piece... well...moving along and getting back the subject.

I think they call it Murphy's law...and I'm not talking about Eddie Murphy (who's pretty HAWT by the way)

Anyhoo...you know Good Old Murphy: If anything will go wrong, It will!

Murphy has followed me around since infancy and I think its time to get rid of the bastard. Espeically it being a New Year and all. I want to dodge and loose him for good.

I want to be one of those women who don't trip when wearing 4 inch heels. I want to be one of those women who look good when they get out of bed and never get chorbs. I want one of those women who NEVER get sweat patches under their armpits (even at the gym). I want to be one of those women whose hair always look like you've just walked out of The Jonathan Salon and can be in the sun without getting one thousand freckles. I want to be one of those women who never stumbles on her words and always thinks of the right thing to say the right time (instead of puting my foot in it). Okay you get the picture, right?

Hell, I want to be one of those women who have Luck on their side demmit!

FFS what do I have to do? Carry a frikken Lepricorn around in my pokeet? Lob off a pinkie toe? Challenge Batista to a ring match? I will do it!

Murphy has always been a few paces behind me or is it in front of me? How do I begin to create the perfect Murphy murder?

Here's a couple of things I've been thinkin'

- Become more optimistic

- Become more positive

I thought I was these things but I suppose not because he's still in the shaddows.

Here's the thing. I work hard, I take risks (hey! I often take a different route to work just because I need a change of scenery). But I need to start BELIEVING good things will happen to me instead of expecting the worst to happen.

Any ideas on how I do this?

Needless to say Kaylin is fine.
