Cut and Paste, Start Again

with one eye shut

strings that tie

there's something oddly appealing about a life devoted to child rearing and house care... and i'm not just saying that because it's my escapist fantasy and i don't want to do any more homework... there really is.
a few weeks back i spent the weekend with a friend and her family out in south jersey.. i'm so fucking pathetic that that was honest to god the first time i'd been (a) out side of new york and (b) away from my computer and homework, in 3 years. i spent the weekend following a 4 year old around from room to room examining his toys and secret hidey holes in the house they'd just bought, listening to her husband talk at great length about the work he was constantly doing on their house.. he was putting in a new bathroom, building up a hedge to block the view of his neighbors back yard, he wanted to paint his house a shade of red, but wasn't sure if it would clash with the homes to his right and left..

what i'm trying to say:

lately i've been craving simplicity in a way i can't quite put into words.

it's a lump in my throat that i just can't choke down
