My kids will be home all next week for spring break, and Nick will come home from school this afternoon and ask for tomorrow off to start his vacation a day early… Hmmmm?? Anxiety or manipulation?? What to do?
Meghan will be home for the entire week. This will be a good...and fun...and lovely little break for all… and by Thursday, I will be a complete nut job (that is: more so than I am already).
I will require many trips out to bathe in the warm sun (there had better be sun or I’m gonna hurt someone) and enjoy some relaxing drinks.. (um, apple martinis come to mind); so while I walk around like a crazy person and sweetly sedated by liquor, I have just one assignment that I want to do for Meghan:
Paint her room.
Paint all of our rooms, actually--and the family room too. And the porch railings, and fertilize the lawn, repair the Adirondack chairs (J.C).
Anyway, my problem is this… I need to find out what color Meghan would like me to paint her room. I have, at one time, laid out swatches of color to have her pick her favorite, but to no avail; she just pointed to each one and recited the color---she's so proud of her “color speaking skills.” But I want to know “which” color to paint her room—or what her favorite color is, frankly—but she doesn’t understand the question.
Any suggestions? Please be my guest.
Otherwise, I’m going to go with Apple Martini green!!
Ohhhhh!!
And interesting to note: I have been wearing a shirt on my body for hours now—one that I didn’t recognize as my own, and much bigger... so I thought, hmmm, where the heck did this come from??” Anyway, it looked good on me so I decided, hmmmm, who cares, it looks good with my jeans!!
So out and about I suddenly noticed a little tear at the sleeve and thought--OMG, it’s Meghan’s shirt… how did I not known?
The bottom line: Meghan has been living outside our home for several months that I didn’t even recognize her shirt.
