tonight on the couch

The kids went swimming tonight and then helped by cutting the grass. They are good girls. So here are my three kids snuggled up after swimming and warming up. I could just slide into the middle of these three and breathe them all in. You know the smells that people have that identifies them? Well my three all have their own distinctive scents. Now it sounds gross but truly they smell soooo good. I sniff Jacks hair and it is so sweet, a lttle foodlike and sweat in a baby kinda way. Missi is always smelling like a morning of deep sleep. Warm blankets, cozy pillows, my favorite jammies. That is Missi. Allie is the scent of morning but different morning-rain shower, sweet, sugary. I am really something lately so meloncholy I guess the word is. My friend Sue said my writing cuts her deeply. How can I expose myself so easily- I dont think I am exposing anything really, I dont even think about who reads this. I just write and feel better. I turn off the computer and I go on ...

Eighteen year old baby.

Had to throw this one in. Me at 18. Big hair blue eyeliner. 1984. LOL Allie at 13 Top pic Allies 12th birthday i remember thinking how grownup she looked. The girls together Allie 13 Missi 11. Allie will be eighteen tomorrow. July 27th 1989. Yesterday but forever. Greatest most terrifying moments in my life. In moments I went from loving myself to loving someone else. Truly knowing I loved someone else enough to give myself up to whatever may come without hesitation. Not to mention the bugger didnt sleep for the first two years. I have a few pics I added with the scanner tonight I hope they do justice to time, love, beauty, devotion, adoration, pride, and motherhood. Go fly to the world and show them all why I love you so very much.
