I think I might be bi-polar. Well, actually, I think I\u2019m mono-polar if that\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n
I was watching tv last night and in between the political ads there was this commercial for some bi-polar drug. It showed this woman who fluctuates between severe depression and wild activity. At one point, the ad says something like…\u201dthat crazy up all night working you….\u201d and it shows this woman frantically painting during what appears to be the middle of the night. I\u2019m thinking this image was suppose to invoke a reaction of \u201cwow, that\u2019s a crazy thing to do.\u201d But instead, I found myself thinking, \u201cso what\u2019s so wrong with that?!?!\u201d<\/p>\n
This is why I think I\u2019m mono-polar. I don\u2019t have any severe depression, but I do have the crazy-maniacal- go till you drop dead- approach to tasks. I\u2019m quite sure that Kevin believes I need some sort of medication. He asked me the other night as I lay awake in bed plotting my tasks for the next day, \u201cwhy do you have to do all of that tomorrow?\u201d And you know, I was speechless. Some crazy part of me loves making long lists of tasks, running from A to B to C, and sweating until it hurts. Kevin thinks I\u2019m absolutely certifiable. But I just can\u2019t help myself.<\/p>\n
Really, it all comes down to Disneyland. (Yeah, I\u2019m sure your could figure that leap out, right?) Many moons ago, way back in the early 90’s, my dad and I took Kevin to Disneyland. He hadn\u2019t been since he was a kid and he was so excited to see the Magic Kingdom. Only problem was, I wouldn\u2019t let him. He wanted to wander around going on the lame rides like the underwater submarine and the tea cups. I just rolled my eyes and told him no way – those rides sucked. Instead, we ran (I\u2019m not kidding – we actually ran) from big ride to big ride with no pausing for anything like bathroom breaks or electrical parades. No sirree, we had a plan and we were sticking to it. This is how I was raised to do Disneyland – at a dead run.<\/p>\n
So you see, I don\u2019t feel too bad about my crazy behavior. Kevin knew, well before that fateful walk down the aisle, all about by mono-polar behavior so I don\u2019t pay much attention to him when he starts complaining that he needs to rest.<\/p>\n
Right now, I\u2019m in between projects so Kevin is happy but I figure it\u2019s only a matter of time before my mono-polar disorder kicks into gear. I can hardly wait!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
