Opening a Door

Dear House,

I know that I have not taken care of you as I should.

Your floors are not clean. Your porcelain does not sparkle, and your windows do not shine.

I have let the children mar your walls and have left many projects undone.

It is NOT because I am no longer committed to you.

I assure you that I am not seeing another.

I just have not had the time needed to invest into our relationship. I attempt to do the bare minimum to keep up appearances, but I know that it is not good enough.

I am well aware of what I have swept under the rug and for that I want to apologize.

I want to improve.

I want to re-Comet.

I just have to prioritize and find the time between all of the other activities I am involved in.

You are important.

I would like to ask your forgiveness and assure you that I am trying to make you a priority again.

I will follow my cleaning schedule and will not leave you neglected.

I promise that I will not become angry at you and expect you to put a fantastic performance with just a few hours to prepare when company is coming.

Will you accept my apology? Do you believe me when I say I am going to be better?

GREAT!

*whew*

And now that we have finally re-opened our lines of communication, can I ask you a favor?

Can you please return the things that you are hiding from me in spite, such as my digital camera, Mr. Spie's gym bag, and our I-Pass transponder?

We really need these things and I think it would help our relationship if we both come "clean".

Wouldn't it be refreshing to wipe out all memories of our past indiscretions and start out again with a spotless relationship?

I anxiously await your response.......

or my missing items.

Sincerely,


Spie
