Fully Alive…Ready to Smile

…recognize the true importance of a single moment in time, the instant when you are fully and completely alive!

Princess camping

Tonight I snicker in the general direction of my family.  They are clinically insane.  They are planning to forage out into the wilderness (our deck) and commune with nature (mosquitoes) in an attempt to “camp.”

I’m finding this particularly amusing because it doesn’t involve me.  I don’t go for such hairbrained ideas.  Nope.  I rented a movie.  I plan to enjoy a quiet kid/mosquito/husband free evening on my own with my bowl of popcorn.  Then…here comes the best part…I’m going to sleep in my new bed…ALONE!!  I get to sleep sideways if I so choose.  I can have as many pillows as I desire.  I don’t have to worry about any untoward advances in the middle of the night!!

**Hallelujah chorus**

The only thing that could possibly interrupt the perfection of my upcoming night is if the mosquitoes chase my family back in the house.

Shhh…don’t tell anyone, but there is a lock on the inside of the deck door and no way off the deck!!!

Mwahahahahahahaha!!!

  1. You are hilarious. And brilliant.

    I have to admit, I *prefer* for Geoff to not be working, but it’s not always a bad thing when he works nights :)
