Journey to Me

I often look at people and wonder about the journey to the very person they are in that given moment.

My mind has been crazy spinning.  There are so many things I want to do and so many that I dream of, I take a deep breath and settle for not ever getting half of them done.

As of late, I have become a soccer mom, a ballet mom, and drill sergeant mom.  I no longer clean the sink int he bathroom, or the tub, or the dishes in the kitchen, or sweep the floor, or clean the kids' bedrooms.  I have turned that shit over to the professional mess makers.  I mean, how can I ever get my areas clean if I am constantly going back over theirs?  It's been almost two weeks, I feel less stressed.

My almost seven year old has embraced ballet and my nine year old as sucked up soccer.  I look at them and weep inside.  He will be a high schooler after the next school year, she is taking the GLAT before June 2015.  Where are my babies?

My desire for a baby comes and goes, ebbs and wanes, surges and subsides, you get the idea...lol.  I find myself snuggling the "babies" at work a little more, accepting wet kisses with a light heart and enjoying them so much more.  I can give those buggers back before 4pm, ya dig? lol

I miss my mother, my dad I barely think about, I remember him, but he's a ghost of a man because I have lived twice as long without him than I have with him.  It irks me because what I remember most, is how deeply I loved and admired him, but some days cannot recall exactly what it was I adored and admired.  Does that make sense?

Two years later and I am no more divorced than when I started out and actually more attached to this man than I would like.  Which makes no sense to anyone because, well, I live with him and more people recognize him as my kids father than don't.  It is simply a matter of, he's flighty when he's ready.

He can't keep still.  He won't tell me he loves me.  He's got babymamma issues.  He's a MAN.  Dammit, I can go on.  He's an island child at heart and I watch him yearn for the ocean, but fulfill duties that need to be fulfilled first, most of the time.

Would I want to run off to an island with him and start over, hellfukknyeah!  Then I think of the roots I've put down.  The schools I've finally settled on for my kids, my job...

This post makes no sense, it rambles, and I am so over due...eh.
