Forgive me oh beings of financial fitness, I have sinned. I lost a $10 dollar rebate check this week. It makes my .30 coupon I used for yogurt fade. I still have two wedding gift cards I was supposed to give a YEAR ago. I have two birthday checks on my desk which should have been cashed over a month ago. It shows such a total lack of respect for the great need that surrounds me. I really don't want to know how much money and pain I have created for myself over the years. The blogosphere is full of self-revelation I know. This is more of a call to change or a plea for help. How did I read those five books last month?.....Well, that should be obvious. Life and motherhood are about choices.
Doth evil lurk?
My son hid himself in the blankets of our bed yesterday. He shouted out, "Mom, Dad come I'm lost, come find me!" I whispered, "If I were a sibling I would pop him on the head and say, 'looks like I found you.' " My husband looked at me with puzzlement, " I wouldn't have done that. I don't think my siblings would have done that. What kind of family did you come from?" I gave him a deer in head lights stare-- hmmmm, I thought: a pack of hyenas, blame the brothers, lack of supervision in the home, is he serious, am I just cruel, what for the love is the right answer here? I never did answer the question. He could have been dead on fooling me. Or, he could be right, what kind of family did I come from? Or, worse, do I just have spontaneous evil that springs from the dark recesses of my heart?...........still waiting, guess I just don't have an answer.
