LJ Idol Week 25 - Stuck With Luddites Again

Mar 17, 2009 18:35



Last week, I died.

While my children slept, wrapped in fluffy, soft dreams of cotton candy innocence, I invited a man into my home. A man who wasn’t my husband. Leery at first to take the risk, I had asked him not to come over several times, but finally acquiesced, expecting nothing more than some polite companionship on a lonely evening.

Thank you so much!

I hadn't a clue what I wanted to do, and these short turnaround times don't give you long to ponder either, lol!

As for the sex...I figured it had been a few weeks since I'd worked any of that into my pieces, so it wouldn't be overdone, lol.

Thanks again.

Hell, mine wories more because I can't flipping see! It drivees me even &*more* nuts!

But yes they love us, so...

And remembering hat they do it out of love is sometimes the only thing that keeps me from yelling "omgmomstopitnowdamnitomg!"

And yes, that long string was intentional. :d

Oh - I feel that way often, lol!

Actually, I didn't add to the story that when my mom emailed me the final time, she sent the message, which included stuff about my divorce, to EVERY email address she had for me, which included the one from my old job...

So I get an email from my former supervisor on Monday saying my mother is sending personal emails to a disabled account which means they go directly to HER inbox...so my former boss became privy to the drama too!

MOM! OMFG!!

Thank you so much Miss Ro!

And NO we are not FB friends yet -

(Also, I never answered you last week and I apologize...I was really lucky and no bones were broken in my hand. I don't know how, but I was just bruised, had a big black and blue swath across both my palm and the back of my hand for weeks!)
