Flaming June's Love

Right when I thought it was way too hot to come out of my room, The heavens smiled down and cooled things off. Well lets just say the heavens looked down and threw us a few curve balls. Last Tuesday, Allie, Missi, Jack, Jyllian and I went for a late lunch at a local little diner/restaurant. While sitting there enjoying our salads and awaiting a few turkey clubs-the table began to rock. Nothing too astounding since I live with a family of leg shakers-bouncers. It was a rolling table to best describe it. I suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous as if I was going to pass out. It took about ten seconds of the patrons all looking around at one another to realize... EARTHQUAKE!!!! I looked up and the lights were swaying, a slow swing.. but they were rolling along with the tables. I looked in a split second at my daughters across the table from me, my son to my immediate left and Jyllian who I love as a daughter next to him. "get out!" "Get out get out!!!" I grabbed ...

Our BABY started Kindergarten today. He woke at 6am and called me from his room. MOM, C'MERE!\ I got up and went to his room. He was all snuggled in his bed, blankets up to his chin and smiling. Yes SMILING, a real happy lets get this show on the road SMILING! I got into bed with him all curled up and warm, he wrapped his legs around my leg, put his hand folded under my chin(s) and we just looked at each other. He told me it was Kindergarten day, "I know and I'm so excited for you, my big boy" He said "lets talk about it now" I explained how we would get our new school gym uniform on which will be all cozy warm, then have some breakfast, brush our teeth, and hair, pack a snack bag and head to our school. "Then what?" You and me, Daddy and Miss Jyllian will head to the gym where you will meet all your new friends and get assigned to a new teacher and classroom." "Then I will have to leave for the day and you will stay and I wil...

Its all about The Suzie. That line was created by Andy a few years ago. He says it when he is talking about doing something for me... for example- where to go for dinner? Its all about The Suzie. What color to paint the house? Its all about The Suzie. Finding something on Ebay that I would like, and buying it, why? because it all about The Suzie. "The Suzie" Sounds a little odd in this forum, but truly life has become about The Suzie. I have had a few lifetimes packed into this 45 years. I have also found it quite interesting that my name has changed with each new chapter. Of course it began as Suzie Jones. and remained the same until I became Suzie Bailey. A turning point came around 30 yrs old when I changed to Suzanne. My given name. I was told by a boss that I respected that "Suzie does not portray to others how smart you are." hmm I'm smart? well certainly someone with the name Suzanne is beautiful, smart and lots of fun to be around. I liked...

I went for a nice walk this morning. The weather was pristine. Clear blue sky, light breeze, almost chilly. A few puffy clouds. I got Jack sent off with Miss Jyllian and I put on my sneakers, a sweatshirt, and of course the Ipod. Interesting things that happened to me on this walk to day. I don't have my own Ipod. I assumed Missi's when she got her new fancy phone which works as a pod. Allie was kind enough to load music into it for me, her music that she believed I would like. I took a gamble and put the Pod on shuffle. SO I took off down River street and the music that played was amazing. I surprisingly knew most of the songs. Dave matthews, John mayer, Jack Johnson, Taylor Swift. then there were a few I didnt know, OAR, Phish, Death cab for cutie, the postal service. As I walked the music seemed to either: 1. Move me along with it, or 2. I willed the right tune to come on. I was chugging along and reached the levee along the Susquehanna I stood there and jus...

I've got a lot on my mind. Alot has come through my mind and heart in the past month or so that I am not purging. Anywhere, to anyone and now, Im foggy. I've used the word constipated before in this forum and tonight is the culmination of emotional constipation. So Im going to purge, dump, shyte. My dads anniversary came and went without blogging fanfare. Is it because I didnt remember or care? nope. It came and went with the usual lump in throat, lead in belly. My husband, who has been sure to take care of me on all of the anniversaries, took jack and I to the beach for Pops anniversary this year. Same as last. I didnt feel any closer to him, there were no whispers in the waves, or long lost notes in the grains of sand. I was still just me. My life was still as importantly uneventful. There was no spiritual eureka of the beyond. No answers to the forever questions of "why?" That's because we are not supposed to know. And that people is that....
