I'm in the final days before vacation, so my brain is pretty much Cheez Whiz. Time to write has been non-existent this week and I can't promise anything that comes out now will be either entertaining or insightful. But I've missed writing, so here you go. ;)
A couple of things that are running through my mind right now:
1) We have got to get to bed earlier, because mornings are brutal. I always say this. Nobody listens. Why is it so hard to go to bed at night? Part of it is the kids drag their feet forever about getting into the showers, like somehow they're going to melt down the drain. What is this aversion to soap and water? I love feeling clean, but they will put off showering for days if I let them! (You can breathe. I promise I won't let that happen.) The other part is that Mama got a new toy that involves her first love...reading. Which means everything in the real world gets blocked out while Mama's engrossed in a make-believe one. Which means kids take hour-long showers but only stand under the water for the last 5 minutes. (Okay...maybe I'm not completely engrossed. Darn it! What are they doing in there??)
2) Did I mention vacation is in two days? Ah...palm trees, ukuleles and coconut oil. NOT! I'm dreaming of a land in which the laundry will be caught up (yes! Thank you! Because I am out of black socks again. Didn't I just have Christopher put up the clothes two days ago? How does this happen???) Of Kindles, coffee, back porches and morning sun. Of lunches with friends and seeing family. Of finally shopping for some much needed new clothes. Of sitting around the house all day in my pajamas without showering if that's what I want to do. (I didn't say you had to visit!) Of doing none of those things if that's the fancy that strikes me.
*Yawn* and now that I've made myself sufficiently late, I'd best get on with the business of preparing to take a vacation. (Which by itself is enough to necessitate a vacation.)
