There Is No Normal

Silly me!  I thought, once the kids are back in school, things will get back to normal.  You know, normal being where everything goes perfectly and no one gets sick and there are no pressing crises and I have the luxury of little time each day to sit in front of a laptop and tippity-tap away at my thoughts.  That normal: the not-so-normal normal, the way-I-want-the-world-to-be normal, the normal-that-doesn't-actually-exist normal.

So, school has started and the kids are bringing home all manner of illnesses, and when I'm not tending to someone who is sick, I'm battling the sleep deprivation and chaos that follow in the wake of caring for someone who is sick.  All of which is not normal, in my opinion.  The world must march on at the pace I set!  How dare perfectly predictable unexpected things crop up!  Ah well.  Soon everyone will be well, and I'll be back to that fantasy of normal.  I can't wait!

  1. There is no such thing as normal unless you are talking about a tempature or white/red blood cell count. Otherwise the word normal should not even exist!! Ha, ha!

  3. Normal is definitely a word I need to ban from my vocabulary. No need to long for something that doesn't exist :)

  6. I wish that I could report that there is a normal, there is just a less than chaotic in my life right now...but I so get this and I hope that with some tea and time to just be you will find your center, which is probably as close to normal as any of us get.

  7. OH, yeah! Do I get this one.

    Normal is over-rated. Good enough is much better.

    And you? You're good enough; you're smart enough; and, gosh darn it, we all like you. :)
