But this got me thinking. What other things are just "truths to be self-evident" in my life? Here's a short list that came to mind as I packed:
- Laundry. There will always be laundry. Even if you've put that last bit of clothing in the washer, the clothes you are wearing will need washing as soon as you take them off (this made me think briefly about going on a laundry strike and not changing my clothes for a week -- yeah, right, will never happen. Especially underwear! Ew! Gross!)
- Dishes. Ditto. You've emptied the sink and the dishwasher. Now do you go on a hunger strike? Or just eat with your hands off of the floor?
- As soon as I start to catch up on work and sleep, Monkey (or I) will get sick and I'll be back at square one in both areas and possibly more like #1 and #2.
- If DH says he'll be home at X time and I COUNT on it by making dinner, he'll be late by 15-30 minutes. GRRRRR. This one needs to change and I've expressed it numerous times. Maybe I should keep some cake on hand ...
I'm sure there are others in my life that I'll think of tomorrow as I drag myself through the day, but these are the ones I can think of right now.
So what truths do you hold to be self-evident in your life?

Hubby lives in a different time zone, where clocks run on "football time". You know how during a game a clock can say 15 min, but it'll take 45 to run out? Yeah, that.
The minute Hubby says "It'll be fine", it is time to expect the apocalypse.
Sasha WILL decide to go off schedule when we have a busy day we tried to arrange around his naps.
Because of the Hound, my house will always have a layer of mud.
As I stare at a giant pile of laundry that is taunting me to fold it...
-My DH will never, ever, ever, ever be on time.
-Despite the fact that I know DH's problem with time management, I will continue to stress out when we need to be somewhere by a certain time.
-DD is sure to sleep late when I need to leave the house early
-My MIL will bring foods that are about to rot/expire when she comes down for a visit. Ugh.
-And luckily, my friends will make me laugh about any of the things mentioned above.
Okay, I've got some:
-If I say I'm going to leave work at a certain time, hubby can expect it will be 10-20 minutes later. I don't know why, and I've tried to change. Hubby just now includes that "trying to get out the door" time in my commute time.
-As soon as I get used to the Pumpkin sleeping through the night, she will stop. Speaking of which, don't ask about my night last night.
-I will never be caught up on all my recorded shows. This is especially true for ones that hubby does not watch with me.
Sing to the tune of Billy Joel's Lullaby-"Someday we'll all be gone, but laundry just goes on and on..."
I agree.
