Est-ce que je peux jamais rentrer à la maison encore?

I went to visit the place that I worked the longest and it was definitely a visit that I am glad I decided to do. The ladies at the job are just as funny as ever. They know who they are . . . My homegirls that I worked with and even went out with . . . got blasted with (remember that New Years Party?) I miss them ... I just don’t miss the actual job. There were a lot of reasons why I moved to Florida, one of those reasons being that I wasn’t happy there. I know ... I know ... THE GRASS AIN’T GREENER ... Trust me I knew it when I made the decision . . . I just needed some new grass to romp along in. To their credit, the Floridians broke through my veil of ice. They really aren’t as bad as I thought they would be. I think I might even be close to having some “homegirls” down in FL ... we will see cause it takes time for my heart and mind to open up.

Daddy was at it again ... and so was my mother.

I came home from work, when I was working 3-11, and my mother was sitting in front of the T.V. with a glazed look (she often has this look when she is working on getting that Oscar or Academy nomination). So I decided okay, I will help her get the nomination if not the award, so I ask, “What’s wrong?” Apparently I just drew open the curtain for the performance of a lifetime. My mother replied initially that she was fine but here I go insisting she tell me. She calmly looks at me and states that if she tells me, then I will wake at approximately 3AM laughing (okay, she’s lost it). So I sit down across from her and I tell her, “Spill it.”

So this is her story, I advise that you don’t eat or drink while reading this tale ...

Daddy and the Lizard

Daddy went outside on his day off to sweep the back porch as he usually did. In front of him as he swept was a lizard. Being the man that Daddy is, he opened the fence and swept the lizard into freedom.

Daddy went on with his day ... he went to the grocery store, cooked dinner, watched the news and took a nap. Later on in the day, Mom was up and watching television with Daddy. Daddy went to the restroom, Mom thought nothing of the action, until Daddy came out the bathroom with a strange look on his face. He said nothing but simply went into the kitchen and retrieved a bag and returned to the bathroom. So, of course by this time Mom was wondering what could be going on.

Daddy came out of the restroom, walked straight to the back door, and released the lizard that spent the day in his PANTS into freedom.

**I learned that while it might feel right, I just can’t always stay in the same place neither can I go back and think it will be just as it was before I left. Change is a good thing – especially if I am the lizard**
