Home Sweet Home

My house may not be big, my furniture may mostly be second hand and refinished, it's not always perfectly clean and sometimes I let the kids watch too much tv. We may not live in an über desirable neighborhood but I like my house, it's my home. It where I am raising my kids and forming memories. I know my neighbors, they know our dog. Seth has friends and a place in the social order of our community.

Adam was away on a business trip and didn't get home until today. Seth was with Lilith for the weekend. So it was just Lulu and me. It was fun we did momma and Lulu pedicures. I wanted to go shopping, she wanted to run around naked watching old Disney cartoons, we compromised by me shopping online and she wore a diaper.

Seth called quite a bit again this weekend, his biggest news was that Lilith was moving. She and Deuce got a place together so she is going to move immediately. I am not shocked, surprised or anything but grateful that her new place is closer to ours and that I don't work for any management company that she rents from because I don't know that she has ever finished out a lease.

So tonight Adam is home, laying next to me gently snoring. Seth is asleep in his bed a tangle of arms and legs and too many blankets on a bed. Lulu is asleep gently cuddling the blanket my mom made for her. And I am laying here, typing this out quickly before exhaustion of sleeping alone catches up to me. I couldn't ever be happier then when everyone is here, happy and healthy.

It may not be a lot but to me, it's everything, it's the only thing that matters.
