Alien or Witch

Feels good to be in a routine again.  Even though I am a chaotic person by nature and thrive on clutter and confusion I also struggle with the inner neat freak I keep very tightly locked away.   All of my children can attest to the fact that most day trips started out with my saying,"Hey get in the car we are going somewhere!" And ended hours later with us stumbling upon something to do.  But as I get older I do see the value of making (and keeping) plans and a schedule.  My youngest is doing online summer school for what I think is the third year in a row.  Keeping him on a schedule no matter how loose is mandatory.  I am pushing for him to get as close to finishing as possible before I go back to work next week.  It is a little weird to admit but I enjoy helping him with some of the work.  U.S. History was a subject I was great at but as a 14 year old girl studying it it didn't really hold my attention as well.  Now I have that desire to learn everything.  So anyway about two weeks ago my sister and I are out at Sam's Club and they are selling those bracelets that are supposed to help with pain relief or curbing addition or whatever the issue may be.  My sister actually did the test where they had her stand on one leg and balance while the girl pushed her off balance then did it while she held the bracelet.  Yes we ended up buying four of them and split the cost.  Having just set a new weight loss goal for myself I bought the one that specifically works on weight loss and balancing hormones and promoting positive energies.  LOL I know it sounds hokey but my reasoning is even if it is a placebo effect then I will take it if it works.  It either works or I just think it does and thats causing the changes in my behavior either way I will take it.  There has been a slight side effect ever since I started wearing this thing and that is a lack of control over what comes out of my mouth oh and a little bit of an angry side.  I think the anger was coming from the fact my vacation was approaching and I was burnt out and out of patience with all the stupidity at work.  My husband has a different theory.  He thinks it is an alien technology in the bracelet and that when they come it will control my brain.  He said ever since I got it I have been a straight up BITCH to end all bitches.  I don't see it.  If anything I have been way more patient and good natured I think.  What has changed is that when someone does something I find wrong I call them out on it.  I think that is a good thing.   Now he calls it the alien bracelet.  Two nights ago he woke me up at 2:30 in the morning and asked me if I wanted to go out to eat pancakes.  I had been asleep approximately 2 hours when he woke me.  I am trying to lose weight and you are asking me to go eat pancakes at 2:30 a.m.? REALLY?  Needless to say I was a little grumpy.  Okay I was very grumpy and tired and whiney.  But after making it clear I would only have coffee I agreed.  It turned out to be a great night.  In my eyes the bracelet does work because if he had done this a month ago I would have probably stabbed him right there in bed.  With something dull people I wouldn't have killed him.  I am okay with the bitch label.  I grew up learning if they call you a bitch it's because you are telling them something they don't want to hear.  As long as you aren't mean or cruel or malevolent in your intentions or actions then let people say whatever.  Now it is a perfect sunny morning and the pool is closed here and my hubby in all his newfound energy is dragging out all of the cleaning equipment so we can detail our car.  It is much needed.  Since this seems to be the only way to get him out in the sun I am all for rolling up my sleeves and getting dirty.  It's not about what do we just that we are doing it together that counts. We all know that the aliens are taking over our brains with Candy Crush anyway not these bracelets...DUH
