Less Evolved than a Snake Egg

Last night I dreamed of Moobz… and President Clinton… and getting stuck in a high priced organic grocery store… And I’ll tell you, I’ll take Moobz in a wet t-shirt over an overpriced broccoli floret any day.. which reminds me of that Mike Myers skit (Dieter) about “Germany’s Most Disturbing Home Videos”… featuring an older gentleman skipping around a sprinkler in a diaper. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

What we have here, other than the obvious losing of the marbles in dreamland, is some seriously crib-deprived toddlers raising some ruckus and some hiding out mamas in rooms filled with more Nag Champa than patience. But today I’m more grateful than yesterday and I laughed at the shared stories about The Trouble with Relationships in Recovery… or TTRR… and I’ve made a little space.. a clubhouse to hide away in here in my Not So Small house… Today is my 11th day with no wine… Even with two slips, I still consider that it’s been nearly 6 weeks of a new life without alcohol.

Adventures of Break-O-Man

By R 8 Comments

Categories: Funny Peeps

In my family, there is one beloved relative who is known fondly as “Break O Man.” Break O Man has a heart of gold, but can be generously described as having a very difficult relationship with the physical universe. Things simply do not function in her grasp. Doors won’t open, cars won’t start, things fall apart.

I am known around my house as “Break O Man, Jr.” for the way in which I too cannot seem to track simple things like keys, cars, houses, directions. If it’s without a pulse, I’m in a relatively solid state of confusion over its workings.

B o M and our kind require “keepers.” Patient kind people who help us find things like grocery stores and gas stations and doctor’s offices. We credit the name B o M to this lovely New Yorker cartoon, without which we would have had to continue using the less loving name “the Breaker”

I dedicate this post to all of you Break O Mans out there (you know who you are)…
