So, I can't leave well enough alone. After realizing, Cinderella I am not, I started to wonder which princess I most like. I have to admit, I don't feel much like a princess these days. Not with a household of seven. Princesses live lives of glamour, beautiful clothes, and travel. They must, right? That is what all the fairy tales paint it out to be. Never mind that the England's new princess opts to do her own household chores right now. She doesn't have kids. William doesn't count. I mean seriously, my life is most like Snow White and the seven dwarfs.
Yet, when I spend time reflecting on the qualities of Snow White, the animals don't come peacefully into my home to help clean. No, they come bounding in the door in the shape of a black lab, one that figures obstacles were meant to be mown over. Doesn't matter if the obstacle is a pile of clean laundry. The trash can is just a large food dish.
Though, I do have a lot of little people around. But they never put me in a glass box in sadness because I am "asleep" and they miss me. Nooo, they shhhshhh each other out of fear of waking me. I am beginning to think I resemble the old hag the most. The scary one. Seriously, I am not taking the nap cause I feel my most charming self. They aren't shhhshhh each other out of love for me and my need for rest. They are shhhshhh each other, so I will stay asleep, cause when I closed my eyes I was just as haggard as the old women in the story and just a mite grumpy. They fear if I awake a bit too soon, I will still be an old hag. They are hoping for a miracle, that I will awaken as Snow White.
Like I said, I think I should have left things well enough alone.
