Wednesday has arrived. It is raining, softly beating against the windows. I love that sound, don't you? Midweek has arrived, good news to those of you that work Monday through Friday. I am counting down till Friday myself as I get to go somewhere. Yippee!
I told my sister yesterday I should write a Blog on the fact I should have had seven children instead of two. Then each one could call me once a week and I would always have a phone call from one of my kids. It would work out I think, it wouldn't be a bother to any of them. I decided it was better that I didn't write that after all. I just wanted to take the chance to tell my children not to feel guilty when the time comes for that big plane ride to Portland. A phone call wouldn't have prevented that ride when the time comes. I'm hoping that is a long way in the future anyway.
My children are busy. I know that, maybe they mean to call. Maybe not. I reread back over last weeks Blogs, sometimes I can write stuff that could under some circumstances upset you if you happen to be the child of the crazy who is doing the writing. I could find nothing I found to be offensive. But then what do I know. My scale of how I look at things appears to be very different than the average person.
My son gets upset when he calls anymore. He says I say, "Huh," way to much. I was suppose to switch back to my original phone because it appears I don't hear as well on this new one. I haven't changed yet. I love this new phone. So the pink one sits in the box. And I say,"Huh," over and over. So maybe that is why he doesn't call much.
My daughter is very busy. I know that to be a fact. She baby sits, works at night, cares for many people. So maybe she doesn't call for those reasons. I'm not sure. But I look at the phone, trying to will her to call. She is very strong minded and it isn't working. So you probably are thinking, "Why don't you just call her?" I try not to call much because it seems when I do its always at the wrong time. So instead I have been sending these mind wave messages out. Call Mom, call Mom.
Now will me writing this on the Blog cause them never to call. I certainly hope not. I have been thinking lately maybe I need to take a Dale Carnegie course. He has one called, "How to win friends and influence people." I might benefit from that one. I wish they gave one on how to make your children call. You know just a two sentence call would be fine. "Hi Mom, how are you doing."
Well I din't know how this will work out. I have not talked to my daughter for nine days at about four this afternoon. Now of course I am not keeping track. But if you should see her or Jer. Would you please make your hand into a fist sort of and put it up to your ear. You know like they do on the Reality shows when they want you to call in to vote for them. Just put your hand up to your ear and mouth the words, "Call your Mother." Please try it, we'll see if it works. For now I'm outta here.
