No Time To Chat--Well, Maybe A Little
So hi, how are you? I'm very busy this week, so don't spit on me because i'm not going to post anything unless something very blogworthy arises. Yes, I promised no more breaks, but i'm going on vacation (my brother is staying at our house while we're gone, so you sickos can just make plans to rob someone else's house) and things need to be done. I will say this, though: I don't know about any of you, but when I leave town, I have to have things "just so". My house has to be clean. Not because I want to come home to a clean house (I do) but because if we're in a plane crash or a car accident or something, I don't want our relatives to come over to sort through our things and think, "Gosh, i'm sorry she's dead, but she really stunk at housekeeping." And, all our bills and stuff have to be filed and locked away because if there's a tornado, I don't want all of our bank statements scattered all over the countryside. AND, my car has to be cleaned thoroughly because......because......well, I guess i'm just crazy that way. Does anyone else do this? Or do I need medication and professional help?
What is it about being a mom... that you always assume something bad is going to happen to your children...no matter how old they get and how mature they are? Is it the natural motherly instinct? Is it being over-protective? Is it just being cautious? Is it "plan for the worst, but expect the best"? ... or is it just plain insanity? DON'T ANSWER THAT!!! Now, go have fun on your vacation... and thanks for sending sleepless nights until you return along with those flight numbers!! AARRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI do it too. Our vacation is still weeks away, so I even have time to completely clean our closets. Everyday I get up and my goal is to clean for vacation. Glad it's not just me. Have fun!!!
