and so
i could not continue that blog with talk of my life, so i had to do separate one.
so hmmmm. it's been quite a while. what to say? i went to cali a couple of weeks ago on the spur of the moment. my brother had viral meningitis and was in the hospital a few days. my sister had some buddy passes that someone else had given her, so i flew for free. of course by the time i was there a week later, he was considerably better, aside from the constant headache and fatigue. it was great excuse to go hang out for 4 days with the people from my alternate life. that being my brother, my best friend maura, and my other pal lucy. i always get really sad when i come home, though i could never leave my kids. you see, 8 years ago, i was planning to move back there when laura turned 18 the next year. instead, bam! i was pregnant by the next spring. so my life got all flipped around and i got gifted with this new life. but deep inside, there is a large chunk of me that relates more to myself in that setting with my cynicism and wit ruling me.
but anyway... don't think i resent my kids or anything. they are my life. i just feel a little out of place in my life.
my kids.
