Closing Time

Closing time, time for you to go out
To the places you will be from…

I know who I want to take me home…

Closing time, every new beginning
Comes from some other beginning’s end.

This past Saturday, Justin and Jackie came over. Mikayla and her boyfriend also hung out with us. We all played some silly games. I made rotel dip with tortilla chips, for us all to munch on. I had made a lemon cake, a few days earlier, so we snacked on that too. I love that my daughter wants to be part of our shenanigans, and her boyfriend participated too! We all had a lot of laughs.

Sunday, we all went to church. Later, Adam, Mj, and I took Oliver for a long walk, around our neighborhood. It’s been beautiful. Sunny and 70’s. Today, it’s a little warm in our house, but I’m definitely not going to complain! I had made a fried chicken casserole, for supper. I was so sleepy, after we ate last night. I curled up in Adam’s lap, on the couch, and fell asleep. He woke me up, around 10:00pm, and we went to bed. I felt good, this morning! The littles arrived, at 5:00am. They always go back to sleep, which gives me a chance to drink my coffee. Then, I start waking up my kids, so they can get ready for school. The littles usually wake up just after mine leave for school. My time is pretty much consumed, taking care of them, until they leave. They leave just as my kids begin arriving home from school. Of course, then my kids want my attention. Before I know it, it’s time to fix supper. We eat, I clean up supper dishes, Adam and I take our shower, go to bed, and start all over again the next day. Today, I found myself with a little bit of time to spare, so I wanted to write. My energy “tank” still has some gas in it. I find I’m on “empty”, some days. It feels good to feel good.

I’m going to make ziti, for supper, tonight. I’ve gotten two loads of laundry done. I even took a few minutes to do my hair and apply pretty smelling lotion and perfume. I didn’t end last night by having Adam inside me. He did keep me held in his arms, all night long, but I’m looking forward to making up for that lost opportunity, tonight. I’m in the mood to play with my husband. To be silly awhile, and then sexy. His day didn’t start off well. He was stopped along the interstate, where he had to watch as paramedics wheeled the deceased passenger from a horrible car accident, into the ambulance. The driver was taken into the emergency helicopter. I prayed for that person, and for the families of everyone involved. It’s a very sobering thing, witnessing something so tragic and unfortunate. I’ve been looking so forward to giving Adam a big hug, and appreciating him in all the ways I can think of.
