Vodka Cranberry, the charging agent of choice tonight. I sit watching Wedding Crashers wishing my life were as simple as what John and Jeremy have to deal with. No responsibilities, no ties, only the prospect of love or at least the prospect of something one might consider entertaining. A ride on a yacht, some afternoon backyard football; Gee, I wish my life were so easy. My two girls are sleeping upstairs. I look at them always and something comes over me. An overwhelming dance of happiness flows from my eyes to theirs, even in times of tears and time-outs.
My husband has fallen asleep next to me on the couch. It’s amazing how men can fall asleep in the most uncomfortable looking positions. I wish we were walking on a beach, talking about important things like career goals and dreams of the future, listening to the waves hit the sand. That will happen, in the near future. We somehow make a beach vacation happen. Last year we took our vacation right before I started a new job. He was a regional/remote user so we actually spent two weeks in Myrtle Beach. It was nice, and we’ll do something like that again in 2010.
I have so much to be thankful for; a beautiful house, a beautiful family, a wonderful husband.
A friend of mine is in the hospital right now with his wife. She is having substantial contractions and they are a few weeks early. I raised my hands and prayed to God that he would see them safely through. I can’t fathom the emotions they are experiencing. All I know is that I would be scared. A woman has to completely commit to the word and advice of the doctors. Hopefully, the doctor is someone they have created a relationship with and not someone they don’t know.
I’m drunk. I need to go to bed.. lol
