Warning-you are getting me on a good day here.
Maybe..just maybe..losing our housekeeper will have some
benefits. Tonight I have 3 extra teens in my house and we are having a blast.
The kids are including us..the climate is great…everyone is eating up a storm.
Happy content and inclusive. Why such a great night beyond the warm humid weather
and a fresh lit up pool in the backyard to swim in?
I had my kids do dishes, do laundry and pack their camp
bags even with their friends here. And as a treat I served up tacos and fresh
fruit salad as a . (I adore feeding their friends might be one of my
favorite things in life -a houseful of hungry teen boys)
So I put them to work and for some reason no one complained
or whined. They just helped and it felt really good.
If my Dad had not been such a messy slob most of the time
I might have thought that he was sending me some important message from heaven.
Hmmm…maybe it is my Grampa then?
Something is brewing inside of me…growing and changing.
And it is going to be big I tell you. Life changing. I seem to have lost some
of my action orientation even. I mean tonight I interviewed a Russian couple
for the housekeeping role and knew they were not for the job but chatted them
up anyways….? What is that about? Be Bold..Be Brief..Be gone is my usual motto!
So maybe the beans in the spinach salad my Mom made did
this to me..or the scent of fresh laundry hanging outside to dry that did me in….but
here I will write it.
THERE ARE SOME PARTS OF CLEANING AND DOMESTIC DUTIES THAT
I LIKE. IT KINDA ACTUALLY RELAXES ME AND SOOTHES ME AND KEEPS MY MIND OFF OF MY
STRESS.
(is this possible????) This sounds as alien to me as saying "I prefer to eat a carrot over a cupcake? Come to think of it maybe I do!
Anyways like I said you got me on a good day. So far….beyond
a shadow of a doubt and beyond some major inconveniences and some really crappy
weather..this summer rocks so far. I have never seen my kids as happy and
relaxed as in the last two weeks. Pls pls let this continue?
Next thing you know I will be getting a dog!
