Life of a Perpetually Amused Mom

-
Jadyn (my youngest daughter): Mom, can I go swimming? 
Me: Have you done your dishes yet? 
*Intermission for small preteen screaming tantrum followed by angry muttering* 
10 MINUTES LATER: Mom, I can't do dishes because we have no dish soap! *sips coffee while remembering I just washed a coffee mug 15 minutes ago with a 3/4 full bottle of dish soap* 
Walking into the kitchen, I realize that the dish soap monster has struck again and left behind his calling card of 6 mason jars filled with a blue soap-like substance hidden behind the dish drainer. *grins and sips my coffee* diabolical little monster, isn't he? ;)

Feeling your arms wrap around me. Making the choice to steal a few selfish seconds for myself To forget about everything but the feel of you surrounding me. Ensconced in the dream that I am finally yours. Truly living the life I ache for, if only for a moment. Experiencing a quiet bout of euphoria. The feeling of elation slowly dying as  I am faced with unequivocal proof  That I am not yours.  Remembering why I do not allow myself to truly get lost in your arms. My mind whispering that I knew better. That I knew, to let go was to hurt. My heart quiets to a slow, lethargic rhythm,  Thoroughly chastised until the next time.

Daydreaming lazily... Idly caressing your skin Soft, slumberous kisses As we drift along the fringes of sleep.  Your rumbling voice talking quietly  And the softness of your chest hair tickling my cheek Threading my fingers through Yours... Feeling the capable strength of your hands... Yet knowing how gently you handle my fragile soul.. A quiet pride for the  Amazing man that you are lingers in my mind. Smiling gently up at you As your words drift off to nothing... Cuddling my sleeping angel closer.  My own heaven on Earth.

Fateful Heart

Fateful Heart   What cruel trick is this.. to love and not receive? To reach for and never touch? Fate wields her spiteful power with an uncaring flick of wrist; and goes about her duty with nary a backward glance. "What of me?", I cry! "Is my pain unworthy of your notice?" "Does my heart's blood upon the floor not garner your attention?" Yet she strolls on, ever the cruel mistress.  I languish here in agony, bereft and alone... Until life wanders past and admonishes, "Come, you must journey on."
