You've been forced to leave your home.

Your comfort zone.

You can pack the essentials what can't you live without?

Your therapist has ordered you to a small desolate cabin in the woods for one week.

You will have running water and electricity.

No internet, cell, or TV!!

Basic food staples will be provided, along with basic toiletries.

I've always boasted that I was a very simple, low maintenance girl. I'm going to try and limit my list to less than 10 things.

1. A radio.

2. My curling iron. (I need big hair.)

3. Diet Coke. (About 2 cases)

4. Heated mattress pad, and flannel jammies.

(I LOVE the heated mattress pad.)

 

5. Snickerdoodle coffee with French Vanilla Creamer .

6. Writing paper and pens.

(This will be a great blog when I return.)

 

7. The last 3 Danielle Steel novels.

8. My Kitties. Fatty, Mowe, and Chaps.

9. Wine.

10. Deck of cards. (Solitaire relaxes me.)

That's it..... I'm probably forgetting something important but it's too late now.

What do you  "Gotta have??"

10. Happy Days

 

Well, my son came back to live with Hook and I the second weekend in December. He had went to his dad's in Michigan after he exhausted all options here. No job, no prospects, and partying all the time.

Two months later, no job, no prospects, and partying all the time.

Silly me, I thought it was going to be different.

A new twist, stealing from us, and pitting Hook and I against each other.

He's out next weekend. I'm giving him until Friday to do something, even if it's a paper route, or the doors are going to be locked. Friday at midnight, I'm done!!

I'm not even going to feel one bit bad. The manipulation, the lies. He's 21 and hasn't had a job in a year.

We've tried so hard with him and this is the thanks we get.

I've been thinking..... Oh no!!!! right?

We all live such complicated lives. As I was dozing off last night, thinking, I tried to name all the different hats I wear in my challenging life.

This is the list I've come up with.

 

 

Mom Hat:

Kinda like a dunce cap with a spinny thing on top, doing the best I can, sometimes confused, sometimes it just spins.

Nurse Hat:

A little white cap that means, "I'm here to help." A career choice. A hat I wear with pride.

Companion Hat:

I little beret, flirty sometimes, big enough to pull all the way over my face and hide. (You guys don't have to live with Hook...he's too embarrassing sometimes!!)

Friend Hat:

Maybe like a baseball cap. Time for fun and games, the cap can be turned around, with the little opening in the front to let things sink in my brain when I need to listen to problems or share ideas.

Sister Hat:

A big floppy sun hat that my sister would find amusing. We can both fit under the large brim and whisper secrets and remember old times.

Daughter Hat:

An eloquent little bonnent with flowers on the brim, I'll always be Daddy's little girl, sweet and innocent.

 

I may add to this later, my nursing cap is calling me. I'll gone for the next 2 nights.
