I have a confession.
The Girl came home this past weekend to go racing with That Man. She stayed Thursday night and Saturday night, and then headed back north to Lafayette.
I was going to put clean sheets on her bed, but she’s only slept on them twice. So, I threw back the covers Wednesday night, sprayed everything with Febreeze, and pulled all the sheets tight!
Cheater!
I felt guilty about that. WHY??? What the heck did I do that was so terribly WRONG?
I've been cogitating on it, and it hit me that my mom would have changed the sheets right away, and, of course, I have to live up to her housekeeping standards. Why THIS one? What about all the others I flout all the time? But it's a Mom rule. Change the guest bed sheets every time.
It was just so WEIRD. There was this flood of guilt...for all of 2 minutes, and then I felt FREE OF THE EXPECTATIONS OF OTHER PEOPLE!
I’ll wash them this week since she’s slept on them two more times.
Really I will.
Right.
This week.
(And Now She Knows - HA!)
