I Don't Want to Complain, But...

I am a lucky individual. I am healthy. I don't live in an impoverished, war torn or hurricane ravaged country. I have a happy marriage with two beautiful, healthy children. My parents are alive and healthy. I have a lovely home. We can afford nice cars and other luxuries. That being said, can I reserve the right to complain, if only for a teeny, tiny moment, about my cleaning lady phoning in sick on the week that I am expecting twelve people for dinner on one night, then another seven guests over the week-end?

Ouch. I say call the people and tell them you are under quarantine for a suspected case of the plague, then declare it a false alarm later. Or go with anthrax, maybe.

Absolutely. I don't invite people over precisely because my house is so dirty. 12 then 7 people? Ack.
