Getting Back to More of the Same!

The fact is:

You are already doing what you want!

You Choose.

Period!

OK, now that I’ve gotten that out of my system…I am having a quiet evening at home, an old Patty Duke episode on the tele, Christmas lights lit, my sweetie Christmas shopping in the next room, the girls sleeping on the couch, and I can hear the hum of the washer and dryer going. It has been a long productive day.

I don’t think I’ve seen the Patty Duke show since I was a little girl. It reminds me of all of the trouble my sisters and I used to get into. I used to do all of the babysitting of my younger sisters while my parents were at work. My sisters loved to make my life difficult, and I loved to return the favor in kind, so to speak! LOL! I have so many stories of the crazy, zaniness, that we got ourselves into. One of the things that comes to the top of my head was the time that I was about 12 and caught the kitchen on fire. Not a “ooh the pan is on fire”, but “OMG THE FIRE IS TRAVELING UP THE CABINETS!!!!” fire!! After putting out the fire, I put the troops AKA my sisters, into cleaning mode!!! All I kept thinking was, if we clean this up mom and dad will never know!!! HAHAHAHA!!! Well, no – they found out. Matter of fact I remember my parents walking in, I was standing on the stove cleaning the ceiling, one of my sisters was cleaning the floor, another a wall, and another standing on the counter next to the sink cleaning cabinets!!! The jig was up!!! I am amazed we all made it into adulthood!!!

Gotta love those memories!!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!! 😉
