Escape From Hell

At a party this weekend, I made it a habit to jump out of the bathroom window, three times. It seemed like the funnest way to exit. Not the first time I have jumped out of windows either. I mean, why not? Because it doesn’t have hinges and it opens up instead of swinging open is not a reason; well, at least for me it isn’t. 

Actually, it is all very thrilling to me, but I suppose it makes others uncomfortable-- even feel threatened. Particularly a mother of young children. My kids seem to love the adventure. I only remember a couple of times where they were actually afraid, but we pushed through it. We regularly leave home on foot, take buses, stop at random places, engage in the occasional reckless behavior, but mostly making the world our oyster. 

The world’s judgment on me is not ignored. I try not to notice it; however, there are days that I question who I am. Guilt settles in and self doubt grips me. It is here where I spend quiet moments in excruciating pain over what is right, ok, acceptable, reasonable, admirable, SANE. And when I contemplate changing the errors of my ways, I realize that I am too committed to being really alive.

Some years ago, a# very wise gentlemen, an elder perhaps, once said to me that I was living a great story for my children and it will be one of the best gifts that I can ever give them. He is probably right. But I needed to hear him say that. It meant a lot. I consider this guy to know what he is talking about and to have the long term viewpoint to be able to see this clearly when for myself it is not. 

Last Apology Day- I’m sorry Ria that you wonder about your wandering. Life is magical and it can never be if you don’t do what your wild heart tells you to. Go for it!

This smarty pants asked all kinds of questions at the Dentist! She even reached out and patted Turner on the leg while he was having work done. She's quite the sweetheart! Perfectly behaved! Home just in time for a nap. Highlights of my stressful day: Turner did great at the Dentist even having a tooth pulled and Ollie said "Janean, you look very beautiful to me!" #heartmelted, #love, #gladthatisover

Sorry people rant time

I want to start this off by saying that I HATE when my dash on here becomes political! I hear it all day long in my day to day. I hear every possible side of it. It all sucks right now. Except what they have learned and discovered with the T rex. Thats really impressive. Other than that I wake up to fucking crap. I don't want to stop following those who post it because the other content they post is awesome. But give it a rest. Tumblr is an escape for ME so please let it be one!
