You are aware that I leave in a mere 4 days. FOUR DAYS!! Why is it that the week before your vacation is always the most insane? Is it so you appreciate it more? Because I'm already poised to run at full speed out of my job, knocking over women and children if necessary at 10 a.m. Wednesday morning-- wait, I get off the air at 9:57:40-- so at that time, WATCH OUT!!!! Is that wrong?
Because if it is I don't care. I'm so over this current phase in my life. Interpret that at will. My father is irritating me because he wants to talk to me all the time. I know that sounds wrong but the second I walk in the house I don't want to be bothered. Especially on Saturday and Sunday... of course the days he doesn't have to work and is itching to bother me, talk to me, mess with my hair, tickle my feet (aren't I a bit old for that?). If we were on a playground he would throw dirt in my face.
My sister and I always looked at my dad like a giant toy. That's partly because he was on the road a lot when we were growing up and when he was home it was a treat. He would let us braid his low cut hair while he pretended to be asleep and probably sometimes actually fell asleep. When my mom went out of town and it was the three of us, he would cook (which he can do well) or my favorite time, we had McD's three times a day. Lolol. My mom never let us eat fast food. It was like once a month with her... if that.
Now remember my Saturdays and Sundays. Saturday-- work 11 hours, come home, collapse, rinse, lather, repeat. Sunday-- leave at 11 p.m. (Saturday night), work 10 hours, breakfast, church, get home at 2 p.m. Sunday afternoon, blog (addict), talk on the phone a bit, read for 20 seconds or so, knocked out by 3:45 p.m. That means I need some moments of the day where no one is talking to me or requesting my attention for anything other than... nothing. I DON'T WANT TO PLAY, TOY!!
Bah. "Misssssss Jameil," he says to me. "Yes, father." "Nothing, I just like saying your name. You're one of my favorite people on the planet." I guess I should scrap this post, appreciate that he loves me and go home and enjoy my mother on Wednesday. Love does not mean blind to his flaws but accepting them and moving on. I still love you father. Witcho crazy (driving me crazy) self.

It could be so much worse. You could have grown up in a house with someone who you absolutely can't stand. I feel ya on the needing some space, though. Are you planning to move out anytime soon? I thought everbody got rid of the comment moderation stuff. :(
LMAO!! Not knocking over women and children. Did you get your itinerary together yet?
I always feel like that before I go on vacation. When I saw more clients, I was ready to kill every one of them the week before vacation.
I do hope you have extra fun to make up for the bs.
Now I could see why you would want to knock out the women and children.
There's days when I want to knock some out just to make my day pick up.
Yea be glad your Dad loves you enough to bother you. I'm learning to love that part about mi madre.
It's so cute that your dad still wants to tickle your feet! You'll always be his little girl. Although I'm glad that my parents don't try to baby me quite that much anymore!
I understand that no matter how much you love someone, sometimes there's nothing you want more than some Me-Time. I feel guilty for needing my space sometimes. I need a LOT of space.

If he just ignored you, then you should begin to worry.
I am glad you are leaving!! Will you still get to blog when away??
Like how you worked that one out all on your own.
The image of you knocking women and children out of the way while singing is priceless. I know you didn't say singing, but in my image that's what you are doing.
Lol @ Toy.
If your mom is even half as excited as mine was, you're going to be cheesin for the next two weeks!
Awww...your daddy sounds so cute:-)
LOL @ Outer Monologue. I know a hundred women who would kill to have that predicament.
I am poised to run over anyone in my way EVERYDAY at check out time (don't mess with me when I'm trying to leave work!)...not just because of a vacation, so I totally feel you there.
I don't know why...but I am so tickled at you saying "Yes Father". It sounds too proper. lol...luv your relationship with your Dad though.
I get forced to talk to the parents too when I don't want to...Not like I'm mad I just don't have anything to say, I'm tired, I just got home, and I really just want some sorbet, a remote, and a pillow!!! I feel for you!!!
Don't get locked up for running over the women & children...enjoy your vacation...sounds like you need it!!!
