Going Crazy! Wanna Come?

I remember when I was a child, if I asked my mother where she was going,  her answer more often than not was "Crazy! Wanna come?" I get it now. I am on my way to Crazy and I'm driving in the fast lane. I'm starting to see the signs announcing my exit. A room has been reserved in my name at the Last Resort. I hope there's a cocktail (or two) waiting when I get there.

If you are there when  I arrive, please don't think me rude. I am not there to socialize, just show me to my room. I hope to make my stay there short- there's not much that I will need. A quiet place to rest my head and my cocktail(s) if you please. I have not met this woman you speak of, I think "Mommy" is her name and I'll ignore all requests for assistance for the remainder of my stay.

I simply want to sit upon the porcelain throne-alone. I do not care to have an inquisitive witness, chattering away while I attempt to do my business. I do not need a tiny hand assisting me when I'm done. Although I know it's done with love, I can do without the tiny squares of paper wadded up between her thumbs.

And just before I head to bed, the shower's where I'll be. There will not be a time limit, for fear all hell's breaking loose. I'll take my time to lather, rinse AND repeat. I'll carefully shave my legs and make sure I've not missed a spot. Then stand and let the water run until it's no longer hot.

I know my stay in Crazy may be shorter than I need, so I won't waste much time. I'll slip under the covers for a restful night of slumber. I will not have to race to sleep before the snoring starts. I will not have to fight a tiny preschooler for a spot upon my bed. I will not have to wake to nurse before the sun begins to rise. I will sleep until the clock announces that it's check out time.


This has been a particularly rough week. How many of you have been on the road to Crazy? Comment and let me know that I'm not alone.
