Don has been forcing me to clean all weekend. Gramma and Papa K are coming for a visit today. If your family is anything like mine, we only really clean before we have company over. Why, as a society, do we feel the need to put up such a false front? We don't really live in squeaky clean houses and have flowers in the middle of our kitchen table and have the scent of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and tender roast hanging in the air. Do we really want people to think we live like this? What happened to wanting people to love us for what we are and nothing more? Has authenticity lost it's value?
"No, Emily, you're just over-analyzing the situation. It's your grandparents, for Christ's sake."
Everyone wants to be loved and appreciated for the things they do and the person they really are. Some of us just have trouble putting that person out there, for fear of being rejected.
Anyways. I'll leave you with that thought.
I have a hot date with a pair of rubber gloves and a sink full of dishes.
