Cheryl and Megan will be leaving the sandy white beach of Destin, Florida this morning and returning to me, the (less than) handy white leech* (*noun, something that sucks out all the life) of Humboldt, Tennessee.
Doesn't seem fair, does it?
To quote The Office's Michael Scott, "That's what she (Cheryl) said."
As much as the girls hate to say goodbye to their vacation in paradise, it is time to get back to the real world of West Tennessee.
A world of 100 degree temperatures, no rain, and a relative humidity (is this how much 'kin folk' can sweat??) so thick, you need a ginzu knife to cut it.
A world where watering a yard full of flowers takes from 45 minutes to an hour .. every .. single .. day (I have gained a new appreciation .. and bewilderment .. for my wife, who willingly does this on a regular basis).
A world where there are no waves gently crashing on the shore .. only Daves (Bobs, Bills, Jacks, etc.) check-cashing at the store (just so you know .. even I groaned and rolled my eyes on that one).
A world where a guy .. who hates being alone .. will be anxiously waiting like a dog watching for his master to return at the end of the day.
After a long drive, their tails may be dragging .. but mine will be wagging!
Be careful .. just please hurry home (if you get here before dark, you can water the flowers...)
"Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober." - I Thessalonians 5:6
