Mundane. Always a good thing.

Why is life always so busy? Chaotic even. With the most mundane things.

Several times a week I remind myself I need to call my Gramma. I love chatting with my Gramma. But often I have to time it right, my Papa and Gramma are well into their golden years, and go to bed really early. By early we mean before 8pm. So I say after dinner I will call.

After dinner. After I clean up dinner. After I supervise homework has been accomplished by the youngest. After I confirm everyone who needs a shower took a a shower. After I run a load of laundry. After I get the kitchen ready - or rather set up the coffee pot for the morning brew. Then I sit down, the clock is just after 8pm.

Then I do finally get my ducks in a row to call. And I can't think of a darn thing to chat about that was exciting. Yet I am ALWAYS busy. (Well, minus the 2 hrs after 9pm where I am wasting my kid free time on the net, or knitting, or reading or glaring at the bank statement after paying bills.) It is all mundane daily activity. Or the crazy that is my life from 2pm to 6pm with taxing kids to and fro with a dinner thrown together and thrown at people. But exciting, it is not.

Now my Gramma, she has gone out with her book club. Hosted a Supper Club dinner - or meal. Hung out with her 'Craft Group' admitting they don't do crafts, they gossip instead. My Papa has gone out with his coffee buddies. He has made his almost daily walks inside the large big box store, and chatted with all the employees.

I ran to Home Depot with my husband. 10 Kinikinik shrubs were purchased. We stopped by Starbucks on the way home. Our youngest had a baseball game, they lost, he did well. All the kids were sick this week. We had 3 doctors appointments. I stopped by the pharmacy 5 times for 7 prescriptions. Everyone is on the mend. Work, and baseball practice commenced. Our week in a nutshell.

Boring.

Would I change my life? Nah.

Well, yeah, I would - can I work fewer hours *grin* for a heck of a lot more money than I make now?

But wouldn't anyone wish that?

Then I would have time to create exciting adventures and humorous stories. Yep. Totally. Wouldn't waste that time reading a book, spending untold hours searching for a new smartphone for under $300.
