Family
moments, sometimes they’re warm fuzzy, other times they’re, chaotic and crazy.
No matter what there are sure to be times that make you smile. As we transition
from stay home orders and migrate back into our communities, take a minute to
think about your time spent at home.
Were you
home with kids, pets, caring for aging relatives? What were some situations
that made you smile? Below are a couple of situations from my reflections.
Responsibility
I’m trying
to teach my college age son to be responsible. He has his own car, takes care
of it well. But I carry him on my auto insurance. The other day I texted him
and said, “Don’t forget to set aside money to give me on your auto insurance.”
He shot a
text back, “Okay Sallie Mae, I mean Ma. I get you confused sometimes with the
loan company.”
Crowded Garage
I need more
time at home to finish taking care of home improvements. Take my garage for
instance. What do builders have in mind when they build a two-car garage? For
me, a set of instructions is needed. It would include something like this:
· Only
two cars will fit here. Not two cars, a lawn mower, a snow blower, car tires,
and a weed wacker.
Every time I
back out of my “two-car garage” with two cars in there…I run over the lawnmower
wheel.
Leftovers
To say my
son doesn’t like leftovers is an understatement and his idea of what
constitutes leftovers is…different. He came home one evening after I had put
away everything that was cooked.
“Where’s dinner?”
he asked.
“Everything
is in the fridge,” I said.
“Nooo, now
it’s leftovers.”
I rolled my
eyes and moved on to do something else. I don’t like to waste food, eventually
someone would have to eat it. I reminded my son a couple of days later that we
still had food that needed to be eaten.
“”Ma, I don’t
want to eat anything else you say we need to hurry up and eat before it goes
bad.”
What family
moments have you had lately that have made you smile?
