SO THE SAGA CONTINUES....

As I have mentioned before, I had quite a Rollercoaster of emotion over the Mother’s Day weekend. I will not recap the previous but just start from the next point of my story. I do need to give a little history to the significance of this part of the story. I was raised in a religious home where we honored the Sabbath Day by keeping it Holy. This was a day of rest and a time with friends and family. We never did any housework, laundry, or yard work on Sundays….. Remember this when I tell you this part of my weekend.

Working TONS….

This fact has already been established. I worked for 6am to 6pm on Saturday and came home to a filthy house and a needy MESA (dog). All of a sudden I got so SAD…. It seems all I do is work, take care of Mesa and attempt to get on top of too many projects and a filthy house. I am the Queen of FUN, and fun was not part of my life. Metaphorically speaking, I feel like I have a huge pile of dirt and each day I seem to take a cup out but add 1/2 cup back in. I went to bed SAD and woke up at 5am to get ready for work on Mother’s Day SAD….. Depressed???? No, just SAD. I called my Mom and wished her a Happy Mother’s Day and mentioned how sad I was and my metaphoric vision of the pile of dirt. I had to get off the phone and told her I would call her right back. Between the two phone calls, a brilliant idea hit this (fake) blond head and I decided that I was going to hire my cousin, who has a cleaning business. Ahhhhhhh…. An answer to my troubles. I shared this with my Mom, which she shoots this idea down almost immediately and tells me to "NOT CALL MY COUSIN ON SUNDAY but to wait". I am totally irritated at her for dictating to me when I should call my cousin to take care of my troubles.....

FAST FORWARD....

After work, as I am approaching the house, something looks different to me but I cannot put my finger on it. In I walk to a CLEAN house!!!!! I guess after the first call to my Mom, she and my Dad decided to skip church and go clean my house. My Dad cut the lawn, and turned the soil, getting it ready for planting. As well vacuumed the whole house. Mom…. She deep cleaned my bedroom (mattress and all) and bathroom. She washed the floors in the kitchen and Mesa’s room. In the fridge was left-over Chinese food and NO ONE left behind so I could heat up the food, put my feet up and watch Grey’s Anatomy!!!! They did this all on the SABBATH…. They had decided that this act of charity to their SAD daughter out weight keeping the Sabbath Day Holy.

Okay….

Now this saga of the weekend is done…. I have such JOY in my heart from the LOVE shown by me!!!!! Someone hand me some tissues, please. Oh, did I mention that my Dad is 76 and my Mom is 71????

Rock on Senior Citizens!!!
