A lot to say here recently
Of course I start a story that should carry me for awhile and then all these things hit me that I want to say. I will continue the story of me and Alan but not in this post.
Do you ever just want to run away? Not that anything is bad or worrisome, you just want to get away. Go to a distant friends house and just hang. Talk girl talk and drink coffee and wine and do "nothing"?
For some reason I am feeling that today. Not bad, but I sure wish I could trot off to Cincy to see Tracy Rains or fly up to the north to see Beth Keck go to Massachuesetts to see Linda Souza. I think I just get tired of being the strong one and want someone to lean on for a bit. I don't think many of us get to do that.
It hit me recently that I work a lot. Yes, we need for me to, but dang, I want more than one night a week to be home and be the mom and wife. I don't like dragging in at a late hour, washing my face, and then just falling into bed and passing out. That is how it has been for awhile. My husband needs me to be here more than I am. My kids need me to be here more than I am, and not worn out and cranky when I am. You know what I have been "craving" here lately? I want to make a nice big pot of beef stew in my crock pot and then actually be home to eat it when it is done. Don't get me wrong, Alan cooks most of the time and I really appreciate it, but sometimes I do revert back to being the wife - HA!
I just hope that when/if our rural community comes to fruition that I am not too wore out physically to actually do the things I desire to do. Get up early, tend the garden, feed the animals and walk around enjoying God's great gift of this earth.
Peace to all.
