Since I've Been Gone...

I've been gone awhile. Many things have changed. Or maybe it is just me.

My auntie passed. Finally, she found her way to a painfree place.

My cat, Spookie, left too. She was 20 and on her last life. She is the baby from the basement no more.

Kel, my BFOE, has come and gone. We had so many laughs. I have some strange stories to tell now. I promise not to forget to tell the Truck/Casino/Jacket story sometime.

My son is beautiful and my cherish child, but boy it feels like sometimes he is trying to make me reach for the imaginary emergency phone that you need to break some thin glass to reach. It says "Break if you need back-up."

BREAK!

RING! RING! RING!

Where's my back-up? Hello? I am on the line.....waiting...................still waiting....................waiting...................then I hear it........"Sorry, all back-ups are busy. Please hold and your call will be answered in the order it was received or 5 seconds after you hang up from being on hold for too long."..........and once again still waiting..........well, damn......he is sleeping now.

Raising a child with special needs is a daily dose and I continue to try to do my best. Today, it came with laughter, a bloody lip (mine....an accident) and a snowball fight. Who knows what tomorrow brings.

There's more and more still, but I am bored with it. Time to move forward now. I am trying to think Spring. Who cares that we just got a foot of snow and it is -22 degrees out. I want Punxsutawney Phil to rescind the cold weather and send forth Spring. Mother Nature, are you listening? Please kick Jack Frost to the curb. I'm ready. Are you?

Stay sweet 'n smile.....................Mz.
