Lazy girl?

My cousin and her family are here visiting Washington, DC. Today they headed up to the fabulous Baltimore Aquarium today, and tonight, plan on seeing an Orioles game. On the way out the door, her husband said something that pissed me off.

He asked me if I was going to do anything today or go anywhere. I responded with, "I have no plans whatsoever to leave my house today." He said, "Oh, I see, you're just going to be lazy."

(insert steam blowing out of my ears here...)

Let's review: I've been out flying 5-6 days in a row for the past six weeks, meaning not being in my house at all. (Well, there is that brief period of time when I get to come home and get clean underwear...)

He has a "normal" job as a pharmacist. "Normal" people with their jobs get to come home every night. They can keep up with things around the house. Kiss their beloved. Pet the cats. Prune the roses. Cook dinner. Sleep in their own bed. Flight Attendants can't do this.

Look, I'm not complaining (well, maybe just a bit!) This is the profession I chose to be in. But, don't dog me because on my block of days off, I just want to stay in my house and be in my own place. I may spend all day sitting in front of this computer or go Tasmanian Devil out in the back yard and prune those roses or veg in front of the TV. (Gotta catch up on The Next Food Network Star!) It's my life, leave me alone and keep your opinion to yourself.

So, I have decided I am not pissed anymore. He is just blissfully unaware. Ignorant. And, will probably stay that way. And, that's okay. My lifestyle is not for everyone--and his is definitely not for me!
