Can I take a vacation from my life? Is there a place where moms can go to escape the demands of work, family, and home, without having anyone file a missing persons report because the dirty dishes piled up? If we didn’t have so much junk under our beds, maybe I could hide out there. Or maybe in a cluttered closet, where I could blend in with old shoes or forgotten toys. Or I could switch places with the cat. She seems bored and overly rested, since she chews on my houseplants and sleeps on every comfortable surface in the house.
This week promises to be busy if track meets and baseball games aren’t rained out (again!). My daughter has her sectional track meet Tuesday night, which is the same night her brother has a baseball game. I’m going to watch her track meet, since it may be her last for the season if she doesn’t advance to the regional meet next week. No rain is forecast Tuesday night, but it is forecast for Wednesday when my son’s baseball team plays their make-up game from last Friday’s rain-out. Then we have another game Friday night, if it doesn’t rain again then.
At least I got my tomatoes and green pepper plant in the garden last Saturday before the icky weather set in on Mother’s Day. If I can keep the Bermuda grass and other miscellaneous weeds out of the garden (and the rain spigot doesn’t completely dry up like it does most summers), we might have some decent tomatoes to eat later this summer.
