I had this fabulous idea a few weeks ago to schedule regular crops on Saturdays so that everyone I know could come over and work on their albums.  I know it’ll be a while before I have guests who show up predictably, but it’s still disappointing when no one at all shows up.  Regardless, I was all set to go on Saturday.  Jamie even went so far as to schedule an appointment at the car shop so we could get the van brakes checked and the tires done.  He took Simon and Timothy with him because they are the neediest and I cannot do any scrapbooking done if I am constantly having to fish bits of paper out of Timothy’s cheeks or get snacks and drinks for Simon.  You know the drill.

The house was all quiet, Corey and Aiden had actually finished cleaning their room and were enjoying video game time, and I was just waiting for any guests to arrive.

• I did not sit around and wait for guests who never showed
• I did not play Uru instead
• I did not spend the entire morning and afternoon trying to find and fix a virus on Jamie’s laptop
• I did not fix it and then have Jamie discover that there was still a virus
• I did not feel disappointed and hurt that I failed to fix the laptop
• I did not feel rejected and lonely when no one came to crop with me
• I did not feel surprise when Jamie said the van brakes had to be completely replaced

And then yesterday! Yesterday!

• I did not wear one of the only skirts that fits for the eleventy-billionth time in a row
• I did not get home from church and spend the entire afternoon working on the virus problem
• I did not miss my nap because of said virus problem
• I did not watch one of the worst horror movies on the face of the earth

You know what’s great, though?

I did not get bitten by Timothy and develop a sore so painful that I could karate chop Jamie in the face if he even THINKS of going near that general area of my body.  Nope.

Not me.
