From Here to Reality...................

Yep, back to reality. 

I knew when Ab said she and Tam, had a "lot of fun!" while I was gone, that the house would not be in the same shape as when I left.  

Well, in some instances it was the same. 

The same CLEAN dishes were in the dishwasher, so the dirty ones were piled in the sink, if they even made it to the sink....the same dirty clothes were ready to be washed, there were just others added to the pile and more filling up the floor space in Ab's room. 

The same school uniforms and other clean clothes that I folded before I left remained on Papa's bed, unnoticed.  So Ab wore her cleanest, dirty uniforms for the past couple of days.

The same trash remained in the downstair's bathroom, with some added to the point of it over-flowing to the floor.  Ditto for the kitchen trash can. 

Ok....in all fairness, as Tam used to say to Papa and would probably say to me right now..."YOU exaggerate soooooo much!" 

Wrong........

It's just great to be home.
