Vanity & Sin

Better Days Ahead...

I am going to see my momma on her birthday! YEA! I am so stoked and giddy with excitement.. a weekend away from the 'Thing' attached to my hip, away from the drama I call my-so-called-marriage. Away from a life that I no longer want to be a part of...

I have already started my 'Pack-List' of what I am going to wear while I am out there... I am having a crisis on shoes though... But that is a daily fact of life for me! (I currently own at least 60 pair of shoes - and that is what is unpacked.)

The 'Thing'is already having a heart attack, saying that I am not going to come back, blah, blah, blah. You would think that he would be more supportive and LESS insecure about me seeing my mother, but NOPE. And that's okay, because if for some freaky reason I win the lotto - I won't come back and hightail it for the midwest...

And more good news!

My Grandmother owns a Ben Franklin store in Iowa - a little midwestern town that is still hosting 'Pancake Days' and teens drive around the town square on Friday nights... well my Mom is going to be inheriting it, buying a house out there as we speak and my family is taking over the store! Which is awesome news, since my evil Aunt Claudia wanted it to SELL SELL SELL. So we have yet to break the bad news to her, but it will be a wonderful day when she faces that reality. No more trying to rob my grandma, the store is BOOMING for the first time in years (thanks to my baby bro Lukey)and hopefully someday if time and luck allow it, maybe it can be mine... Or mine and Lucas's. He is such a good little worker and I am too unraveled to take on anything committal yet... trying to break loose as it is! But it is exciting, and I really happy for my mom... she is finally getting what she always wanted, and its been a long tough road for her to get there. Mom, you ROCK!
