I like to stay up late and listen to the quiet sounds of a sleeping home.
But I also like the loud family gatherings, six conversations at once and oh,
I love the front porch, the rocking chairs, and the silly ways Kenny makes us believe a lie,
I love my family, game nights, arguments, and even how they'll leave the dishes again this time
. . . after I have stood on crutches forever frying chicken and knowing the job would be mine.
Did I say I love to stay up late? And I love how that man of mine calls me a hundred times . . .
Come to bed, he says. But really since we are together all the time, he has the mornings, and I have the night, so . . . it works out just right.
I have come to hate the editing process . . . of reading that novel until I swear, my eyes might bleed.
But, it will be worth it and in time I guess I'll take care of all that it needs.
Oh, and I just love curling up with a good book. I drive Kenny crazy, curled up in some little nook,
While he is trying his best to get me to look at something on the news . . .
Or something else . . . anything to get my attention but he chooses
To put up with me.
God bless him.
I would be so lost without that man!
As it is, I wander around aimlessly, while he makes plans.
He's on time. I drive him crazy being late.
He tells me it is not his job to wait.
Well, whose is it then?
Men.
I am happy . . . really content.
What is everyone always complaining about?
No reason to mope or pout.
Right?
So what else? Who am I?
I am an educator . . . a mother . . . a grandmother . . . a cancer survivor . . . a writer . . . a photographer . . . a dreamer . . . a believer.
I am dramatic, argumentative, a spoiled pest.
I am emotional and loved . . . and I am blessed.
I am me, without apology.
Tell me . . . who are you?

Well, I guess we know who likes to stay up late.:)
I'm also a wife, a mother, a writer, and a freelance editor.
"Men". That says it all.
" "Men" -- that says it all " ------ Hmmmmm lol
I'm good, but I need to go to bed so I can get up at 6. Have a good night- I mean morning!
Nice to learn more about you also.
I love to bake and cook. I am very honest. I was suppose to be dead at 35. My 57th birthday is less than 30 days away.
I married the love of my life and am still married to him.
More later. Great to learn about people.
You brought a late night smile to my lips and a sense of familiarity with you.
Wonderful flow to your words, an inspiration.
