siren

the vacuum cleaner was the universal signal when i was growing up to get off your butt and do something and that something better look like cleaning.  My mother is the neatest person alive, she vacuumed the house daily whether it needed it or not.  If she ever shut off the vacuum and cleared her throat, you were in trouble.  When i got married i wondered why my husband never budged when i started vacuuming.....i guess he didn't get the memo

To this day  I still get anxiety to this day when i hear a vacuum.

it blows me away that i am 40 and i still have this baggage
