Something Big

I’m waiting for something big to happen.

Every morning when I’m making the girls breakfast (why does SJ insist on only eating out of the pink Elsa bowl? I don’t have time to wash it again!), every afternoon when I’m grading papers (where the hell are the in-text citations? I told them to include in-text citations!), every night when I’m folding eternal loads of laundry (where did those damn socks go? … really though, where do they go?) I’m waiting for some gigantic out-of-the-ordinary thing to occur.

And I’m operating under the assumption that each mundane task brings me one step closer to that colossal thing.

One of my favorite Grumpy Cat memes has this Black Eyed Peas lyric displayed the top: “I’ve got a feeling that tonight’s gonna be a good night.” Below it is a picture of an obviously underwhelmed Grumpy Cat with the words, “You have wrong feeling.”

It’s kind of like that. I probably have wrong assumption. But what if I don’t? I’m sorry, G. Cat, but I can’t bear to believe that the big thing will never come.

Or that it’s already here and I just don’t know it.
