The funny thing about memories is that they always seem better than actually doing the thing you remember. I spend a lot of time really trying to enjoy the moment but the moment is usually not the ultimate moment that I am planning on which leads to let-down. I also spend a lot of time in the moment thinking "I need to enjoy this" because it is going to be a great memory. Case in point-Trip to Disneyland. We had a really good time and I had withdrawals this whole week. I missed it and wanted to go back! However, when we were living the "moment" there was stress, frustration, instances of bribery and bad parenting trying to force our kids to have fun.
Maybe this is a little too philosophical. Back to the laundry....
What a great vacation! No, I hear ya though! And how many things do to ensure "good memories" even though they are torturous at the time? Your Disneyland is my Dollywood. Yep-Dolly Parton. She has a park. We go. Season passes. Don't tell people please.
