I am a wife and a mother. I have a gap in my teeth and funny thumbs. I have found that life doesn't always turn out the way you plan - sometimes the best things are not planned. My husband and I met in line for a roller coaster. We eloped 2 years later and were married by a one-legged Justice of the Peace. Our sons are 9 years apart and sometimes it feels like we are still riding that roller coaster. I like to write -- and love to think even more. Life is a complicated, exciting adventure and this is me sharing it with you as I try to cross my ocean.

Turpentine
i watch you grow away from me in photographs
and memories like spies
and salt betrays my eyes again
i started losing sleep and gaining weight
and wishing I was was ten again
so I could be your friend again

these days we go to waste like wine
that's turned to turpentine
it's six a.m. and I'm all messed up
i didn't mean to waste your time
so I'll fall back in line
but I'm warning you; we're growing up

i heard you found some pretty words to say
you found your little game to play
and there's no freaks allowed
then just when we believe we could be great
reality, it permeates
and conquers from within again

these days we go to waste like wine
that's turned to turpentine
it's six a.m. and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time
so I'll fall back in line

but I'm warning you; we're growing up

we're ok I know we're ok
these days we go to waste like wine
that's turned to turpentine
it's six a.m. and I'm all messed up
i didn't mean to waste your time
so I'll fall back in line

but I'm warning you... we're growing up.....
