Cantaloupe Thoughts

I woke up yesterday morning and the first thought that came to mind was "Cantaloupe."

I have no idea why. I don't have any in my house. I don't need any, I have some very tasty watermelon in the fridge. I lay there for a few minutes, racking my brain. Why on earth would that word pop into my head?

There are plenty of things for me to be thinking about, thoughts that constantly swirl around in my head. Work deadlines, worries about how I am balancing motherhood, work, my marriage. Thinking about life insurance, wills, all the work that needs to be done around the house. Thinking about whether A is behind in any major areas, worrying about when he should start pre-school, what sport he might be good at. Worrying about jobs and the housing market. Dreaming about vacations and girls weekends.

Weekends...hmmm. My mother is visiting this weekend - she hates cantaloupe. It's her birthday today (Happy Birthday Mom!). No, that isn't why.

I'm not hungry. I did plant some in the garden recently...

I really have no idea. And now I've wasted minutes thinking about cantaloupe. Perfectly ripe, juicy cantaloupe. Yum. In reality, it was so much nicer to wake up thinking of delicious fruit rather than the unending to-do list waiting for me. So though I don't understand my brain, I am glad it conjures up images of cantaloupe sometimes :)
