Day 4

Me: I've been neglecting you. Don't you feel neglected? Unappreciated?

16750: Well, I'm a little older so a little more high maintenence. Plus, you just don't know what to do, how to do it and then there's that other thing.

Me: ((sigh)) What other thing?

16750: cash-ola...you're a little over extended credit wise, right?

Me: Amen to that but don't help with the excuses. I'm Queen of the Excuse people.

16750: just trying to help you out...what do you want me to say...you're lazy? you're irresponsible? that's not entirely accurate. Not entirely...lol

Me: Maybe I just got in over my head. I don't want to seem ungrateful. Besides, I prayed to have you and now....well....

16750: There are some things that you CAN do yourself. You're a terrible procrastinator, you know.

Me: Ain't that the truth. LOL Seriously, I need to tackle this list one day.

16750: Well, it is winter and we both know how you like to hibernate. We spend a lot of time together in this type of weather. Why don't you just make another list and do what you can?

Me: I suck.

16750: Whining is not an option, so cut it out! Your father has been very generous with you. He just wants you to do what you can and trust him to work the rest out. You know how much he loves you. I hear you talking about it, singing about it...all the time.

Me: Okay, you're right. Besides, I got to stop neglecting you. How did you get so wise?

16750: Hey, I was born...I mean built in '48 , with age comes wisdom.

Me: and drafty windows, and a leaky roof, and peeling paint, and old plumbing and.....

16750: LOL point taken.
