I'm home for the holidays
which is why I haven’t been blogging at all. Life is chaotic & weird, so blogging always takes a back seat. It’s weird, miserable & hilarious back in the midwest. If I didn’t have such stellar friends I’d be booking the next flight home. Interacting with my family has been less than ideal. I’m just trying to make the best of everything & enjoying the time...

In other news,

Ed also did a dance & sang “Puggy, puggy, puggy can’t you see. Sometimes, your squished in face mesmorizes me”.
I know I married the right guy.

Christmas Gifts from Kids
There is nothing that chokes me up quicker than getting gifts from kids. On Friday, I got so many gifts from the kids I watch/teach. I got handmade cards, funky socks, homemade bath scrub, a gift certificate for new shoes (!!!) & even a voucher for pie. One parent even gave me $20, which I am adamant about spending on something fun that isn’t food or rent. The parents & the kids I...

Today was my last day of work for three weeks.
THREE WEEKS. I can’t even believe it! I can’t wait to go home to Indiana. I think it’s what I need to get centered again. I feel like I’ve been thrashing around for months & I really just want to feel… safe? I guess that’s what it really comes down to. I’m sick of not knowing what people think of me, or what I want anymore. Everything being new is...

This time next week, I'll be back in Indiana!
I’m so excited to see everyone I love, but there are also a lot of really silly things I can’t wait to do, such as…
drive around out in the country
hug Oliver, the library cat
eat at Terra Villa
get shit-faced off dollar drinks
shop at the best TJ Maxx ever
see Dallas, my best friend who also happens to be a 9 year old
avoid Wal-Mart like the plague
see rusty vehicles...

you put on your raincoat cause it looks like it just might today and you grab your keys you’re out the door before you know where you’re going. if blame, as they say, is for god and little kids then you’re deserving of praise or a slap on the wrist cause you can’t help but blame yourself for your long face

I'm really sad...
for no real reason at all, or at least not one that makes sense.

By Saturday night,
I’m already dreading Monday morning. There must be something wrong with me. Why can’t I just enjoy my freedom?

Margot & the Nuclear So & So’s- Jen...
There are times where it is appropriate to wear boots, a stocking cap, leggings, a tie dye t-shirt & a strapless bra. I’m going to assume one of those times would be when you find yourself in the emergency room with your best friend because he’s dehydrated from vomiting & diarrhea at 2am.
At least I sure fucking hope so because that’s what’s happening right now.
