i don't suppose any one really looks forward to monday, at least not those of us in the work-world, but i was especially dreading it last night as my girls, amy & eesha, brought the table back inside and the boys, c & b, tried to control a Chunk determined to dance-stomp his way around my wet kitchen floor. we were all full and tipsy and laughing and i remembered how much i love love love my life. imagine it: the boys and the baby whisking away for joy riding, the real intention of which was to leave the girls alone for at least an hour. and then the girls, which for a short time included my sis, e, chewed the fat and tossed back the smirnoff ices and laughed laughed until the yard was mine again - the house full of my sounds and smells. all the tension and stress i've been holding inside my body came rushing out in a stream of smiles and thigh clapping and loud stories and bursts of laughter as the three/four of us spread out on the grass and reveled in the moment of pure woman-ness. no children. no boys. just strong independent bold brassy women... it was so cleansing. and last night, after the last car left the driveway and b & i were washing/drying/putting away the dishes, and the Chunk was munching apple slices while dancing with the teletubbies, i ceremoniously rearranged my kitchen. okay: not the whole kitchen, just my counters. but it was the beginning of the exorcism which will take forever to complete. we even uncluttered the bar and found new places for all the stacks of books. an hour later and we were all lounging on top of each other on the couch - me laying on b, Chunk laying on me. after depositing my lil baby boy in his crib (which has not yet found its way back to its room), b & i joined each other in the shower, exhausted and happy, smiling slowly at each other through the steam. i'd like to say that my shower is still innocent and virginal, however, i don't feel like lying today. suffice it to say, when we made it to bed (smelling of Waterfall Mist and Tresume), we were warm and relaxed, and so, we curled up under my new sheets, gave each soft kisses and fell deeply into sleep. how i've missed this feeling.
you got something to say?
