It's THAT morning




So I get up at 5:30 am because I wanted to get ahead on a few things before the 8am meeting that I had to schedule due to the other person not having "any other time in the day to manage the meeting"
Matthew too was up since 5 am - normally he leaves by 3 am but he has been working crazy early and after hours to cover shifts. But Matthew got a call  yesterday– he is doing the 7:30 am shift, they finally realized the man needed some sleep.
But when I am up with him, he thinks of things – like – ‘we’ operative word ‘you’ need to get some laundry done today. 'We' should have a good breakfast – meaning, he is hungry and would like breakfast, of course then the shower – which I have noticed and commented on getting fixed and he has told me he will take care of (for months now) – finally breaks and now we have a plumbing issue in the tub. ‘We’ need to call our local plumber, – after I explained to Matthew that calling him means we will need a new mortgage if he has to climb under the house (which is why Matthew never completed it in the first place) who will come fix it tomorrow.
Yes, I do love this man, because his faults cover mine - so it works for us.
I then find that the clothes from the washer last night – did not go to the dryer and all my pants are in it. (We did not accomplish this) Thank-you-very-much, and Matthew is now running late so I help him get his lunch packed – which then is followed by my alarm clock going off for my normal wake-up time.
So in retrospect, I actually accomplished a cup of coffee and breakfast which is normally eaten within 5 minutes while standing in front of the news so I know what candidate is annoying me particularly this day, prior to my usual waking time.
I am packing and heading down out to work in a few minutes, I am writing this completely dressed minus the pants, which need to  finish drying.
The morning meeting I shifted my life to accommodate?
They texted me as I run in, dial the conference and wait for all the prompts to say,"It's not working out for me after all, call you later, okay?"
Thank God the coffee maker is working...

    My day has been stop and start. Everyone getting used to the new system and the teachers are not understanding.

The Long Road Home

The first time I drove that long 9 hours alone I wondered how I would survive years of this trip. I barely could stand the time away from the girls, from my husband. I was always missing someone. Still am, but the little girls have grown to not need me as much. We are very close in heart and in spirit, but don't need the proximity. They have packed my items with me and they have rearranged, bought new colorful appliances, there are flamingos on our - err, their shower curtains. They have hung posters of concerts and white boards galore with notes of jobs, meetings and plans that they don't need me to tote them to anymore. I am so proud and so sad, and so happy. All at once. I remember carting our two weeks of groceries in the trunk of my car and enjoyed seeing their faces as I had tucked small gifts in the bags for them. As they helped carry  and put stuff away we shared triumphs and disappointments and new friend stories. Permissions were granted, lunch money sorted a...

A Coffee Lovers Grateful Heart

The party was a success.  I made a point to see each of my friends and talk to them, it was an open house so thankfully, I could do this as each trickled in at their own time throughout the day. Thank you Gael. You are a doll. I have good friends. Who ever was unable to come wrote me a letter or note on facebook or on my phone. It has humbled me, it has made me ever so grateful to the large hearts I have associated myself. There are awesome faithful people in a world that has been cracked and split on me. These are my glue, they have grounded me. We have listened to our tears, rejoiced in our triumphs, leaned on each others' shoulders and loved, graciously. I was the recipient of such yesterday. I am humbled, I am grateful and I am blessed. The radio station yesterday had a question, they were asking the audience, If you were to die would you want to see who came to your funeral? Perhaps the greater question would be, would you regret not doing more, not being there enough for ...

Shhhhhh....Its Just Me

I hate a big Ado about anything pertaining to me. I am an introvert. My close friends find this a bit humorous to consider, but publicly, I am. I don't seek friendships, for many reasons. I have so much to try to balance on my plate. I don't trust many. Time is precious, If I give it to you, I want it in return. I have two friends who I have stopped seeing. If they hap upon me, it is with hugs and joy, they share tidbits then tell me to get ahold of them. They never have called me. When I do call them they are anxious to set up a date and time to get together, but their fingers have never tapped out my number. They will be at the party Saturday. Oh. Didn't I tell you? I do have a girlfriend who is the complete opposite of me in so many ways. We have maintained a friendship through so much (She deserves her own post, I will expand upon that at a later date) She is the extrovert; the Thelma to our Thelma and Louise Adventures. She asked if she could throw a 'leaving NY ...
