Andy and I

Can you just see us i the background there. I can. Love my Andy.

Yes I like.

Something on my mind and I need to vent. Andy and I have friends that seem to have more money to spend than we have rocks in the yard. Believe me we have lots and lots of rocks. The couple have been friends of ours for many years and I have always loved them both and have cherished their friendship. I am finding it harder and harder to maintain the friendship. Friendships shouldnt need maintenance. Should they? I know the obstacles are there but they shouldnt be so daunting if there was a true friendship there. Hmm? Is this my envy blood kicking in.? I enjoy their company laugh alot when we are with them but then feel as if we have so few things in common anymore that our goals are not the same. I have and remain a home body. I like being here. I would like very much to get away with my husband for a well deserved vacation but with the house and kids and everything else it is not in our near future. They just returned from a Mexican 5 day jaunt with their friends the Dr and ...

Joni, Jewel and delilah

Joni Mitchell was my best girlfriend for a good year during the breakup with Tim. Something about the sad songs made it easier. Night time on the farm, alone in my kitchen, listening to this brings it all back. Delilah is Missi, singing this song at her computer and crying because she loved it so very much. Almos t,... almost as much as I adore her.

I dont know for sure what the song is about but I feel something as it goes on and on. I will always have thing song come to mind when I think of this time in our lives. Missi and Allie introduced it to me by singing it harmonized in the car one night while going to look for a prom dress for Missi. Two beautiful voices working together, same but different, together but fall to different notes at precisely the right time. I heard it in my head for about a week after that. Kept singing the Umm whatcha say, what did you sayyyy. While trying to sleep, walking around the house, just everywhere it was trailing me. This weekend Allie and I took Jack in the convertible to the store. He was loving it until the ride home with the sun in his eyes. I was in the back with him and she drove us. I requested this song for our ride home. I submerged myself in the song, the harmonies, the synthesizer and the view of sunshine in Jacks hair, Allies profile in the rear view mirror. She unknowing of...

Birds are REALLLLLY happy

I dont rememebr this from last year, maybe I was still in zone form moving or haze from stress. 5 am is party time at our house. The birds in our neighborhood didnt get the memo that it is still sleepy time. I got up at 4 20 ish on thursday to get NANA to the airport. I got home around 5 30ish, crawled in and curled up next to the big guy and took a deep breath. Two hours of sleep til the boy wakes up so settle down and rest. No the party animals hanging out on the power lines outside the house were just getting started. Now I am NOT COMPLAINING I am making observation and commentary. I am enjoying it, at this point. In a week Im sure not so much. Our windows are open, lots of trees and river life swirling around the house all the time. Chirping, singing, cooing, clucking, lulling and clicking is all very nice, homey, angelic, and very movie inspiring. I also find it charmingly Nerve shattering, hyper counting provoking and dream invasive. I love birds, Ilove birds, i Lov...
