Vacant

Sometimes you're head is just buzzing with ideas
that you can't wait to get down

and sometimes

well - I wonder that this thing on my shoulder's doesn't sound like the ocean when you hold it up to your ear

I should have something to write about

I've reconnected with the Man -- who I used to feel so much for -- but now have settled into a comfortable friendship --

he wanted to play

I declined

not just because I don't have permission
and am inches away from an asthma attack

but because
I didn't feel the need to

perhaps next time

I'll talk it over with Tex -- see what he thinks of the whole thing

***

and Pixie and I had a challenging day -- that culminated with her pulling a glass cookie jar down onto the floor in an explosion of glass (with not one single scratch on her)

leaving me to pick up tiny shards all night
while I shoved my heart back into my chest

****

but

no deep thoughts on either

a desire for a good night's sleep

and a warm chest to rest my head on -- miles away tonight

but no deep thoughts

tomorrow is another day.

  1. sometimes being in a pretty good place emotionally (even if not physically or parentally) means not having what you feel is an exciting story to write.

  2. I agree with sin. I like hearing about your life, all of it. I'm glad the Pixie is unscathed. How frightening for you, momma.

  3. OH, so terrifying when this sort of thing happens...a pyrex measuring cup breaks into 2 million tiny glass shards, too, in case you didn't know that bout pyrex. None of my kiddos ever got a scratch, but I've pulled a few out of my heel or toe...phew! The adrenaline burst helps with the clean up, at least.

    Hope your Friday is better than your Cookie Jar Day!
