10 Things Parents Can Stop Doing Now if World is End

If the apocalypse is coming, I still haven’t written that book, visited Spain, or bought that little farm in the middle of nowhere, but two weeks isn’t enough time to get them done….unless Camping declares a new end of the world on May 21. Then, for sure I’ll get cracking.

So I’ve compiled a small list of what parents can stop doing if it’s all over on May 21:

1. Cleaning the house: finally a reason to let things slide! The same goes for the basement, garage, and attic.
2. Saving for college.
3. Getting the yard and pool ready for summer. Geez, no more mosquitoes actually sounds good.
4. Telling your kids to study, floss, and make their bed.
5. Enforcing bedtimes.

 6. Making appointments for the doctor, dentist, tutor and vet.
7. Sending kids to school. (No more making lunches!)
8. Going to the DMV.
9. Attending really boring work functions, hanging with the in-laws, and showing up for PTA meetings.
10. Worrying…… about….anything.

These are no brainers, but when it comes down to the end of the world, I guess the real question is what aren't we doing that we wish we were?

Because if anything this crazy May 21^st judgement day notion is doing, it’s helping us become aware of the fact that life is fleeting. None of us knows exactly how much time we have so if there is something we want to do, we’d better start.
