My boys and I went for dinner tonight for chinese. After dinner we went to Chuckie Cheese, it was a good night. We went to get Missis hair done today for the prom which was tonight. While we waited for her to be finished we went for a walk through the building which is full of new business's and offices. One business is a budding "artist" photographer. We strolled past her window of her work. Allie and I both loved her stuff. Very natural beautiful light and stunning sittings of children. We stopped and looked i her main window and both gasped... the largest size poster photograph in her window was a child that looked JUST LIKE JACK> JUST LIKE HIM we looked at each other and both said that is so much looking like Jack... My head began to swim, I got dizzy, felt my heart pound and felt the blood drain from my face. It was a picture of MY JACK How could a total stranger have a poster size photo of my son in her studio window? Beautiful yes, but when, how, where ...

Andy, Allie, Missi, and Jack.

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...
