Oh, Buddy! Oh, Pal!

“So, what’s your imaginary friend’s name?” asked my preschooler.

My imaginary friend?

The thought never occurred to me. Now, of course, I had a secret pal years ago as a child. She was great on rainy days and stuck to me like glue during that week with the chicken pox. Even helped out with homework and making the bed.

Hmmm…Maybe it’s time to re-connect.

“Hi, pal. It’s been years! How about you start a load of laundry while I unwind over here on the chaise lounge?”

“We’re outta milk…Oh…imaginary frieend! Buddy, oh, pal!”

“Put a little elbow grease into it, friend. Ya gotta show that mildew whose boss.”

“Me? Of course I didn’t eat the last one, darling. But, that invisible gal in the kitchen looks a little shifty to me.”

My imaginary friend…. She really helps a gal out in a pinch.

Now, if I can just get her to fetch me a glass of wine from my imaginary wine cellar while I lounge by my imaginary pool enjoying the imaginary view, life would be so very sweet.

As you can well imagine.

Sigh.


A big thank you to Stacks and stacks for the wonderful shout out today! I made her Top 5 Mommy blog list! You can see it here. Her site also lists wonderful tips on organizing.

There's definitely an invisible person living in our house. Only he doesn't help, he screws with us and does stuff like use the last of the toilet paper and spill cat food. If I can catch him, you're more than welcome to him. (And, I'm sure it's a him.)

I'm trying to rearrange our sitting room and I totally love your idea. I'm getting a man named Joe...A strong man with no opinions (unlike husbands)...can you imagine how much easier life would be if your helper couldn't talk, just used his muscles!

P has started to introduce me to her "sister" and her "sister's Mama" (not sure of that one) - I'm about to get one of those myself now that you've opened my eyes to the possibilities!
