- Why is it that when I want to turn left out of Chill's parking lot, traffic is thick and spaced just so it is too dangerous to attempt the turn for several minutes, but when I want to turn right there is no one coming from either direction? While this happens at many intersections, also, it seems to be very consistent at this particular spot.
- Along with that, I believe there is a tear in the space-time continuum at the corner of 1st Street and University Avenue in Champaign, IL--but only in the right hand lane of the west-bound traffic. You know, right in front of the Cattle Bank. If you are stopped at that light, the left-hand lane always moves immediately when the light turns green and there is a significant lag (2-3 cars long) before the car at the beginning of the line in the right hand lane moves.
- As I mentioned on Lit's blog, why is it more fun to pull weeds from someone else's flower bed than it is it to tend my own?
- Why is it than when you have a quick task to accomplish at a red light (like sign a school permission slip or complete a bank deposit), all the lights in your path are green? And when you are in a hurry they are all red?
- Why is it when I get on the phone my child immediately has urgent questions to ask me in a loud voice--even if she was outside when I dialed the phone and could not have possibly heard me talking?

Continued Confusion

I always wondered why I seemed to be the only one who believed you should enter and exit that parking lot in accordance with the directional traffic on the street; i.e. enter the lot at the west end and exit at the east end.
Regarding weeds and other people's beds: remember that whole bit about the splinter in your neighbor's eye? Same thing.
Oh, I can see them at my house. A bit hard to pretend they aren't there, especially when they are considerably more healthy than the few flowers I have taken the time to plant. Maybe I don't want to pull the only healthy stuff for fear the rest will look even more dismayed at their fate.
FYI---Children's prime responsibility is to interrupt phone conversations until about age 12-14 when they take over the telephone, and you never get to use it again. Secondarily, they also disrupt bathroom moments. When there are no children in the house these responsibilities are assumed by pets.
Well, if Oyster puts as much effort into doing a paying adult job that she puts into her primary responsibility of making mommy cuckoo, she will go far in her chosen profession.
Time to move on. UPDATE!
