Reunited... And it feels so good.

Reunited... And it feels so good.


Yah.... I'm actually not crazy about this song.

It's a fitting title for my post, though, so I'm going with it!

Now that my are spending the weekends at their dad's house, there has become a familiar routine when we all come together again.

Chaos.

Forty five minutes of complete insanity and 16 conversations happening at the same time.

Today was no exception.

I was home long enough to turn on the air and start to change out of my work clothes when someone started knocking on the door.

Really?!

I put my shirt back and and went to spy through the peep hole to see who was out there.

"Why are you knocking on the door? It's not even locked!!" Damn .

"OMG, your neck is so red?" The Spawn immediately noticed my sunburn.

"Yah, I'm an official redneck now. Proud??" The little shit just threw her bag, her shoes, and a bunch of string on the floor in front of the door.

"I got so wet at work today." Middle is smiling and nodding his head, like it's a right of passage.

"Did you bring my flip flops?" Dammit, I left my flip flops on the porch at their dad's on Sunday.

"Renegade" The Spawn is dancing a circle around me while I point at her shit and give her the 'pick that shit up or die' look.

"The dirty hobo smelled like rotten socks and my mother didn't like it...." A robotic voice was coming from someones phone.

"Dirty hobo??" What the hell am I hearing??

"I don't like those donuts. Why didn't you buy the cake donuts?" Middle is already eyeballing the snack food.

"My Roblox character was kidnapped." The Spawn is dancing and singing about the dirty hobo.

"You guys are the reason I drink."

"Really mom?!?" The Spawn is rolling her eyes. "I love you too."

"I might love you back if you take care of that pile of CRAP you just left in front of the door."

"Hmmm.... I guess I can like this donut after all." Middle is wiping chocolate from his face.

"Dammit, I guess I've got to love you now." Without picking it up, the Spawn is kicking her stuff down the hall into her bedroom.

"It's too late Mom. We already know you love us, can't back out now."

Crap... She's right.

Happy Monday!

I'm definitely going to miss it when they're all grown up and doing their own thing. They're headed over to their dad's house tomorrow, instead of Friday, and my first thought was... Bummer. The Spawn is spending next week at her friend's house, tonight is the last night I'll see her for a while.

I have a feeling I'm going to be one of those empty nest people... I'm going to miss them when they're gone. I'll get to look forward to grandkids at that point, though.

    i know...i know...my son says the things like that...i dig it so much...
My daughter has really gotten into that stuff! It's hilarious. Yesterday I got to see the 19 evolving outfit changes her character has had over the past 3 years... It was like watching paint dry. "And this one was from back when I was a kid. Look at that hair choice? OMG..."

Yes, I know. My oldest son is 25, doing his own thing. Mother's day and my birthday passed and I didn't hear from him on either day. Breaks my heart a little.

    OMG that sounds familiar. When the girls come home from the "others" house they leave a pile of crap on the table/floor by the front door and come in talking loudly about subjects that make no sense to me. My desire to hug them is often replaced with the desire to lock my bedroom door.
One day, we will be sitting back and remembering these moments, missing them. It all goes by so fast.... I woke up this morning and my daughter was sleeping on the couch with like 5 Popsicle sticks littered around her. LOL The rule is no eating on the couch. May be be a while before the memories become 'fond' memories.

Believe it or not, you get used to it. Lol. When it starts to make sense you know you're crazy too.

    Hi secret_lade

    that's funny

    thanks for sharing

    yes, it does feel good seeing your loved ones

    be safe

    You with the sad eyes
    Don't be discouraged, oh I realize
    It's hard to take courage
    In a world full of people
    You can lose sight of it all
    The darkness inside you
    Can make you feel so small
    Show me a smile then
    Don't be unhappy
    Can't remember when
    I last saw you laughing
    This world makes you crazy
    And you've taken all you can bear
    Just call me up
    'Cause I will always be there
    And I see your true colors
    Shining through
    I see your true colors
    And that's why I love you
I love this version. I took my kids to see Trolls at the theater when it came out. Such a cute movie.
