Denial----plain & simple

While perusing my local Wal-marts I noticed the large Back to School section. The Hubs was with me so I pointed it out to him as I think July is too early for back to school sales. Bad idea.....he turned on me and I might have seen the eyes of Satan.

The Hubs is a middle school teacher---- Yep, he is either a saint or crazy. The simple truth is: he is in denial that a new batch of students await him in a matter of a month!

I completely understand his denial. I don't suffer from back to school denial because I am one of those freaks that likes to buy textbooks, paper, and pens! It's a sickness!

I am in denial about plenty of other things----say, that the Hubs is having a surgery in less than a week. Denial! Resident teenager is starting high school. Denial! Resident little dude will start 4th grade. Denial! I am not at my scientifically (who is in charge of that?) determined ideal weight. Denial! My closets need a clear out. Denial! My last living grandparent is 84. Denial! Cookies and watermelon don't constitute a meal. Denial! I have to leave my boys for two nights while the Hubs has surgery in Spokane. Denial! I don't need an iMac. Denial! I have Hobbit feet. Denial! 1992. Denial! I know all the lyrics to ABBA songs. Denial!


So, Back to School, the entire phrase, is banned at my house----Denial reigns!
