The simplicity of my day to day. |
Blogging Circle of Friends " Prompt: Use these words in your entry today: rebel, determine, cancellation, staff, plagiarize, nest, explode, wake and domestic. Domestically things have changed dramatically in my house. Our daughter and husband have just sold their house and their arrangements for new accommodation have been cancelled. Their soon to be new nest, a rental while they decide on where to purchase their next home has suddenly become unavailable. I feel as if my house is about to explode as they’ve moved in to my tiny house with their luggage, their fridge and pantry contents and their tv programme choices. My husband and I have moved out of our bedroom and are in seperate rooms and I’m sitting on my bed writing this prompt while they watch some inane programming. Sometimes I feel like I’m going to rebel but contain myself knowing it’s temporary, I hope, fingers crossed. But I’m determined to be the bigger person and do what I can to help them until my patience runs out or I wake and find it was all a dream and I can now find things that have got lost or misplaced in the mayhem. I’m beginning to feel as if I’m part of the staffin this hotel! It’s a bit like when the kids were little and meals had to be provided three times a day and laundry done constantly. Daughter and her husband both work which is a blessing but I feel as if there should be a meal waiting for them at the end of their day. Does being a mother never end? As for the word plagiarise I can’t find a use for it in this sad tale of domestic disruption . |
