Excuse Me While I “Excuse-Vomit” All Over Everything
It was as if it had business to do on the boat!
Last week I was on a boat.
It was a beautiful day to be on a boat — not a cloud in the sky, the waters were calm, my kids were behaving — perfection! And then there I was, we were not even out of the harbor yet, and I began vomiting excuses all over the boat.
And I did it without even realizing I was doing it — the shit just poured out like it had business to do on the boat and it couldn’t wait another minute.
And it all stemmed from a rather innocent question.
My father-in-law’s wife (which is always weird to say since it sounds like I’m snubbing my mother-in-law, but she’s not actually my mother-in-law as in not the biological mother of my husband so… I don’t know exactly what that’s called 🤷🏻♀️… anyway, glad I cleared that up for you.)
She asked me, innocently enough, “So, how’s your writing going?”
And so it began. VOMIT!
And she sat there, taking it all in, listening and inserting the customary “oh I get it” and “totally relatable” BECAUSE WHAT ELSE CAN SHE SAY?? The vomit is flowing!
