Why do mom's worry?

Why do mom's worry so much? Mandy came by after work and hung around until about 5:00. She went on home to feed the kids (they don't care for Grandma's Chili) About an hour later I was calling her to see if her heat was working OK and what she had the thermostat on. Please tell me, why do I care? I'm not paying the bill. So what if she has both units jacked up to 80 degrees. If that's what makes her happy, go for it.

And then there were the doors. While I was there today (in the 50 degrees) waiting for the repairman, I went around and checked all the doors in the house. This house has alot of doors too! The front door was locked tight. The garage door was locked, but not closed tightly. One little pull, and the door opened. The living room sliding glass door was locked. The sun room leading to the deck was locked. The sunroom door leading to the kitchen was open. The door from the downstairs bedroom leading outside was locked, but not closed tight. Now, who is going to go through this house every night and lock all those doors? Not me! I'll have to tell Meghan to check them everyday to keep the werewolves out.

Mandy is a responsible adult, but I still worry. I won't even get started on Kathy's plans to leave Isaac with his other Grandma while she makes a business trip out of town. That's another whole story. And then there's Kelli, and the baby. She too is responsible enough, but how is she going to get enough sleep and take care of a baby by herself. And then there's my mom slipping off to South Carolina without letting me know she was leaving town........who's supposed to feed my dad? And then there's Christy, sending out mass emails saying, "I'm turning my phone off. If you need me, email me!" What! What's this about! What have I done now?

Don't worry Judy.......just be happy. You can't control the world, only the 50 foot radius around you. One day you will realize this! In the meantime, just sit back and smile!
