It's All Been Taken Care Of

In the past two weeks, I have come to discover that the phrase 'It's All Been Taken Care Of' has to be one of the sweetest string of words to be put together and come out of anyone's mouth.

One of the perks of my job - ok, probably THE best perk - is when I am invited to attend media tours. An even perkier perk is when all the stars align (work, husband, school, kids, schedules, prior engagements, life) and I can actually attend.

I was fortunate enough to recently return from my second media tour in two weeks. I was discussing the easy-goingness of it all with Patti, when we agreed that we, as women, rarely EVER hear that phrase. When was the last time someone came up to you and said, "You're all set. IT'S ALL BEEN TAKEN CARE OF." Huh? WHEN? Never. That's when.

So when we first heard that phrase, we didn't know what to do with it. It sounded like a foreign language; something that we had an emotional double-take reaction to.
'What did she say?'
'Did I hear her right?'
'What?'
'ARE YOU SURE?'

Wouldn't it be nice if we could hear that phrase just once every now and then?
Grocery shopping? 'It's all been taken care of.'
Kids' bath time? 'It's all been taken care of.'
Laundry? Birthday parties? Dishes? Cleaning? Cooking? Bills? Travel plans? Meetings? Putting ourselves first?
It's ALL been taken care of.
