Definition of a near death experience (not mine).... Massive effort to pull off an 80th birthday party for my dad in Ottawa. Months in planning. People are arriving from out of town dad hasnt seen in 60 years. Stressed, overwhelmed, dealing with last minute glitches. THEN... Precisely 15 minutes before we are to leave for the venue, DD informs us her essay for a Kings University scholarship is due today and must be time stamped with Feb. 1st date. Oh...and mom? Can you review and edit it before we go to UPS to send it? Sad to report The Beau, an innocent bystander, laid witness to a epic mother meltdown and watched in fascinated horror as his girlfriend received the verbal flaying of her life. This is me in the washroom at the party, brain literally about to explode from the billions of party details to handle, editing an essay on social engineering and the erosion of humanity in society. There needs to be a Nobel Prize for people who become parents.
