The house in which we live was for many years a rental for college students. Once upon a time, the yard was probably semi-organized and tended but over the years has become an overgrown mess. As gardening is not one of my strong suits, I have not spent much time making it any better.
I never thought I would get so excited about something as simple as having a few hours to myself in my own home. As the apparent center of my family’s universe, I cannot engage in any task without an interruption for money, attention, homework help, food, and the list goes on despite my instructions “Do not bother me unless you are bleeding or on fire”. It’s a wonder I can get my rear in gear to accomplish anything on a daily basis.
I joke a lot about needing and getting plastic surgery but the truth of the matter is I would never do it for the following reasons: There is pain involved. I have spent much time avoiding pain and I am not about to take out a second mortgage to get some. I really don’t look in the mirror much besides getting ready in the mornings and, if I avert my eyes just right, I really don’t even have to do that.
