We’re going back to basics today. I want you to just write. No topic. Just dump all the contents in your brain out.
I don’t know about y’all, but I need that. I probably need it for longer than 5 minutes, but it’ll have to do!
Your five minutes starts now.
I’m supposed to dump my brain. Where do I start? It’s so loud in here I can’t think straight. The dog is yapping. The kid’s on the computer playing a loud game. Football is on. The dishwasher is running.
Why can’t things be silent sometimes? I’m going to make a point to go outside at work early in the mornings if it’s not too busy for a few minutes. It’s always calm and cool before the customers start coming in. But then it gets loud.
We’re going to a baseball game tomorrow. I’m not excited about it really. I don’t care for baseball so I may take my iPad and try to write. Or I’ll just tweet dumbass things about how much I hate baseball.
Henry’s trying to eat a little piece of french bread that’s harder than a rock. I’m afraid he’s about to pull all his non-loose teeth out. What’s the dog doing? What the hell? She’s like a tiny little thing on speed. Now the kid’s talking to me. Will you watch me? Will you watch me? Watch me.
I’m watching adn typing at the same time. He’s tap dancing. It’s absolutely hilarious. He’s proud of himself.
I think I’m going to go to bed when I finish this. It’s 8:09 when I’m writing this but it’s later than that somewhere else, right? Eh, whatever. I’ll just be old.
Is my 5 minutes ever going to be up?
Oh, it’s up now. Later.

This was my 5 minute Stream of Consciousness Sunday post. It’s five minutes of your time and a brain dump. Want to try it? Here are the rules…
- Set a timer and write for 5 minutes.
- Write an intro to the post if you want but don’t edit the post. No proofreading or spellchecking. This is writing in the raw.
- Publish it somewhere. Anywhere. The back door to your blog if you want. But make it accessible.
- Add the Stream of Consciousness Sunday badge to your post (in the sidebar). .
- Link up your post below.
- Visit your fellow bloggers and show some love.
I understand this feeling! Sometimes I just stare at everything around me wondering why in heavens name I’m even THERE. Then I remember, this is my family.
Thanks for sharing! And the free and open brain dump, I know I needed it this week too!

Oh, I SO know. I hate the noises sometimes. They make me crazy!!
I’m so glad it’s a random theme, I feel less wonky linking up. I wrote a post yesterday for today and included SOC, and timed myself – but I also am linking it somewhere else.
I love how there are no rules to this. Have I mentioned how I’m so glad I’m back in swing with these weekly posts for the most part? It makes me happy!

Hi Jana, Thanks again for hosting this Sunday gathering. My dog is a crazy curseword, my kid is definitely on some type of kid speed and my brain is usually imploding.

Are you at the baseball game now?! I’m going toh ave to make sure I follow you on twitter just in case you tweet dumbass things about hating baseball!
I love baseball, but I’m a Red Sox fan and they are so terrible this year it makes me sad. I’m so disgusted that I haven’t watched much lately, even though I do obsessively read every article about them every day, AND listen to sports talk every afternoon to feel a comradery with my fellow pained fans.

This sound just like my house every.single.minute.of the day. Yikes! I hope you are able to find your quiet time soon.

I slept eleven hours last night. I, thankfully, can still claim surgery recovery! The last two nights netted me 21 hours of sleep. I haven’t had that since I was a kid, I don’t think.
Great idea about going outside before work gets busy. Wise, wise, wise. How is work going, by the way?

Baseball was my first love and there are moments where I miss it terribly. I wanted to play pro ball, but never came close. Don’t know if I could have, but that is a different story.
I work from a remote office so I understand your complaints about noise far better than I wish. That sort of chaos just gets crazy and makes for some colorful moments.

I remember those brutal little league days. I hope you got into bed at 8:09. I know how that feels!

I know that feeling all too well… it seems that it is never quiet in our house, until maybe 2am (and by then, I should be sleeping)!
As a side note, I can’t believe I forgot about SOCSunday this week! Sunday passed me by in a haze and by the time I remembered to write, the entire day was gone. I’ll be back next week though!
