This morning's e-mail from Wil went like this:
Good Morning!!!!!!
Today is a test to see if you can control yourself and not use the card, for anything other than what is needed for Dinner.
No using it for Lunch or anything else. Eat at home, not junk food!!!
So Be Good!!!!!!!!
It instantly reminded me of the last scene from ET when he tells Elliott, "Be Good."
In my mind I could hear Wil saying all the things that he wrote and at the end when he got to "Be Good" suddenly it was ET's voice saying it. Maybe this happened because with the way Wil has been stepping up recently in consistency in TTWD I think perhaps he has been taken over by an alien....well probably not but something about the "Be Good" just brought up a blast from my past and ET is now stuck in my mind for the day. Wow I haven't seen that movie in like twenty years!
So the problem now is can I "Be Good"?
I woke up with the happy thought that YAY! I have my debit card and can go get some lunch and just kind of play around today. Maybe do a little Christmas shopping and just enjoy the day. Why does he have to make it some stupid test???? I don't want to "Be Good"!!!! I want to do what I want to do! This sucks! Did I really ask for this???? Here I am once again stuck with the devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other shoulder and I am stuck in the middle. I know which one I should listen to but the one who I want to listen to is screaming a lot louder.
I just called Wil to see if we could come up with some sort of compromise and he wasn't in his office. Why do I feel like a little kid right now? Why can't I just be mature enough to do what I am told....Oh yeah, that would be 43 years of always being able to do what I want to do haunting me. So I am not sure where this dilemma will lead to. Probably with me over Wil's knee tonight. Wish me luck....only time will tell.

You must listen to the angel. I had the same angel-devil thing going on this weekend. Trust me listn to the angel and by all means BE GOOD!
ReplyDeleteGOOD LUCK! :)

Janet,
ReplyDeleteYou want to pass the test. Girls who pass test get great rewards. Think of how happy he will be with you.
Hugs,

I need the same test right now; with things so messed up; our lives have been havoc and I have been feeding the kids out more; but, I'm about to be shut down.. *L* So it's back to 'the test' for me too *L*
ReplyDeleteIf fate has not yet dealt its card I say "fight the good fight" and win. The question is: What exactly IS winning? Hm...tomorrow's tan will tell the truth. Be sure to report.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I'd have a hard time being good with that one. I soooo get the desire to just enjoy the day! But in the long run, you'll be glad that you stayed strong. I'll be interested to hear how things turned out!
ReplyDeleteJanet,
ReplyDeleteI'm interested to see what the outcome of this one is. I know you were just itching to pick the side of the devil sitting on your shoulder. C'Mon, Girl, it's been 4 days already... let's hear the details!

Hmmmm, not sure how to finish this one. It's complicated....VERY complicated. I promise that my next post will answer all of your questions I just don't know when I will be writing it. So stand by for the outcome, it should be interesting!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry that's all I got for you all now.
