I dream that “Molly Maids” cleans my house. And that on Saturday, the only thing I come downstairs to (after sleeping in until 9:00am) is the smell of fresh bacon sizzling on the skillet and a nice cheesy omelet hitting my breakfast plate. If I may continue this dream… let’s throw in some chirping birds, fresh morning warm breeze blowing in through my window screens and opening the front door to get a better view of the white picket fence lined with assorted colors of lilies that surround our front yard… Ah…sigh….
Instead, I roll out of bed as the Addisyn alarm promptly goes off at 6:30am. I roll up onto the edge of my bed and stretch my hands over my head. Then I sleepily reach for my cell phone to check out the time in hopes that it would show a time later than 6:30am as if a later time would make all my tiredness disappear. 6:30 a.m….what is she? A rooster! With one big inhale of fresh air, I find motivation to make it to my feet and stumble to her room while avoiding all the land mines of clothes and toys that are scattered about the upstairs. We venture downstairs where my dreams of fresh bacon and cheesy omelets are replaced with the reality of needing that first cup of coffee. I start thinking of the things I need to do this weekend: pack away Addisyn’s birthday decorations, dust, vacuum, clean floors, laundry, grocery shop, edit pictures, and the list goes on and on…All I want to do is avoid the mess and enjoy my day off.
Cue the Blue Cloak Wonder and Pink Suit– one super hero and his trusted sidekick who have taken Saturday by storm. Just when my day couldn’t get any busier, they come to my rescue by showing me that I don’t have to take life too seriously. They fly around the house and make more of a mess, but in their dust, they fill the room with laughter and smiles. They have this amazing power to roll one great day into the next and the only thing that is left in their wake is the satisfaction of a great family weekend.
My life right now is all about balancing the ebb and flow of the monstrosity that is my “things to do” list and every time things get a bit too busy, I know that I can be rescued by the Blue Cloak Wonder and his trusty sidekick, Pink Suit… I’d take them over Molly Maids and a white picket fence any day.
Meet Pink Suit and Sir Oinks A lot
