Top Ten

So, Ali asked me how I was doing with Mom gone. She liked my response so much that she asked me to post it. This is my attempt to do so. I hope you like it too !

As for how I’m doing, it’s all good. In fact, here’s my top 10 list of the good that has come from Mom being gone:

10 I’ve put the first coat of paint on most of the van – can’t see the rust and bare metal
as much.
9 I’ve made a small dent in my workload since there’s no reason to go home.
8 I get to mess up the bathroom all by myself.
7 I’ve caught up on my recorded television shows since I don’t sleep well when she’s gone.
6 I’ve worn my banned BYU sweatshirt in the evenings.
5 No list of chores to do on Saturday.
4 I’ve gotten to work on time more often.
3 I’ve retrained Rusty to not expect to eat at 3PM on the dot.
2 I’ve lost weight because I hardly eat anything.

And the Number 1 reason why it’s all good:

1. I get to drive her car. As ND would say, “SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET”
