I was scrambling tonight. My daughter called me and said she was coming to visit. I started straightening up, running the vacuum, throwing stuff out of sight, and something occurred to me - I was excited about my daughter coming to visit and maybe that's the way my mom and dad feel. So as soon as my daughter left I made things right and sent them an email. It didn't take long because I just copied and pasted one I got from my aunt, so 2 minutes and I'm back doing stuff I like.
I hope I always have this appreciation of family.
