Well, my bags are packed and I am ready to head to RWA nationals in Reno, Nevada. My tickets and passport are already in my purse (the purse I am bringing – we won’t even go there :razz:). Instructions have been posted all over the house for my husband and sons – but they are not fooling me, they will pay no attention whatsoever to them. And they will eat all over the house, not wash a dish, or pick up their clothes, or make their beds. Nor will they wash laundry, wipe down a bathroom or sweep and mop or bathe the dog. Pizza boxes and soft drink cans will be scattered through the house like knick knacks. Shoes will be left in the middle of the floor and mail will be left opened and spread out on the kitchen bar.
Will it be worth it to leave and let them do this and spend a week with 2000 women who, like me, are pursuing their dreams of publication?
Absolutely!
It will also be worth it as I fly home next Sunday morning, to be thinking about my guys running around the house like crazy cleaning up a week’s worth of a mess and trying hard not to leave any evidence of their debauchery.
