on being home

some days, there would be nothing i’d like better than to live by myself again. it would be so much easier for me. the rocker could come over without feeling like he needed to entertain my mom… my dog wouldn’t be going to my mom when she was in trouble, looking for protection…

but then there are other days when i’m very thankful to have the time with my mom. last night was one of those nights. i got home from my day, and dinner was done. i sat down in the chair and had my meal served to me. how nice is that? i then cleaned up, sat down and had a normal conversation… not about work, but about daily events. like the adopted boys in new jersey who were starved. like the war in iraq.

after nice conversation and a wonderful dinner, i sat down and knitted. the only thing i would have changed was the addiction to law and order. i’m tired of law and order.

i’m so grateful that i get this time with her. i know she won’t be around forever. i hope that mar starts to see that, and takes the time to get to know her. she really is a neat lady.
