Clone Required
I was talking to a friend today and I realized something big! My life would be so much fuller and I could be as helpful as I like to be if only I had a clone of myself.
That's right, I went there, A CLONE!
What could I do differently, you ask? Well for starters, I could have one of me take care of my children while the other gets sleep, so I wouldn't be overtired. But that is not all, oh not, that is not ALL!
I could also watch my own kids while I ventured out with friends for tea or lunch or drinks... it's not that I don't like to take them places, but there is a time and place for everything, and having relaxig tea and a good chat with someone while trying to keep track of two squirmy noisy kids isn't fun for anyone!
I could quickly go to the store to buy groceries or whatever is needed, as well as dropping Ingrid off at school and picking her up,without having the big production entourage.
I could help out a friend that needs housesitting if I were cloned, as well. I could go to Reiki share even if Peter isn't home. I could play with my kids and take a nap at the same time. I could take my husband out on a date!
It's not that I can't get a babysitter for any of those things, but sometimes it'd be vastly more convenient if it was just me, here already, knowing exactly what I want or needing nothing beyond an "I'm leaving now."
