Just For Today??

Last night at football practice, my 6 yr old came over to my chair and whispered in my ear, "Mom, can you call me D.J.?" "Why?" "Just because. I want to be called D.J." (That is nowhere near the kids name.) I said, "If I call you D.J., won't that sort of be a lie since that isn't your name?" "No it won't be a lie! Because you are just going to call me that tonight! Please, Mom, just for tonight?" And away he went back to practice.

It thought about that for a minute and came to the conclusion it wasn't a bad idea. So, JUST FOR TODAY, I am a 23 year old with no mortgage, I have a really cool job, super decorated apartment that is never messy. I live close to my family so I can see them whenever I want. I have great skin and do not have to tape and float (wear makeup), I have plenty of down time, I get to read great books whenever I choose. Gravity has not set in on my body so all is where it is supposed to be. I am still a size 6 and can shop at Victoria Secret. I don't ache when I get out of bed in the morning. I can pretty much eat whatever I want because my metabolism is still lightning quick. Shopping for bras, bathing suits and jeans is not a painful experience. I don't have a million bills so there is plenty of money in my account to do extra stuff. I drive a cool small car that is clean all of the time. C'mon....please??? Just for today???

Okay, the thought was enough for me. I'm glad I had that time in my life but I gotta go now. There is a tablecloth with syrup on it that needs to be washed, God only knows why the refrigerator door handles feel so nasty, the bathrooms must be cleaned before things start growing and somebody just said the dog didn't make it outside. And WHY are all of the pillows off of the couch and the chairs in the living room? Oh, yes, that IS a very cool tent. Sigh.........Okay, I am grateful.

But on second thought, can I get a maid? Please??? Just for today???

Enjoy your day,
