Metal Mama

Metal, meet motherhood; motherhood meet metal. This is where my two loves meet & become one world.
 

So badly.

30 September 2012

I want to feel your arms around me so badly it's like I can almost slip away and feel you here... then I come back to reality.

We both take a lot for granted.

Happy life, over coming the inevitable obstacles and going through the chapters together.

Tomorrow afternoon cannot come soon enough.

Taking Space

28 September 2012

My best friend is on a bus right now... I wish him the very best of luck too. These few days hopefully provide us both with exactly what we need. I know that I can't wait to wrap my arms around you and hug and kiss you.

Good luck tomorrow to my real life Johnny. ;-) I love you baby.

Phlebotomy Started

18 September 2012

I started my Phlebotomy class last week. I think it's something I am going to like.

Mollie isn't even 2 yet and we've got broken bones... Daddy's... she broke his rib. They we're playing the other night. 5 days later he finally see's the Dr.

It's almost time to pick apples!!!! I love this time of year. Too bad it seems like I'm fighting the PTSD demon more than ever before. I won't give up.




 I won't give up.

Barely there.

08 September 2012

I might be barely there to you, but I know where I am every night.... I know that I matter to two of the most beautiful little people in the world.



PTSD and Me, I know that I matter enough to know that I think about you every day and wonder if you had interrupted sleep the night before, but I don't dare ask. If you did have a rough night, I don't want to rehash those thoughts for you. The flesh, bombs, blood, the explosions... I actually do understand that those moments never leave your mind.... they are forever imprinted like a stamp to a piece of paper.... like ink to skin. Permanent. Your mind isn't under your control and your a soldier so you are supposed to be in control. I GET IT.


You think after all this time I still don't get it. I get it more than ever. Just let me love you.

Thankful

07 September 2012

I am thankful for some of the most beautiful and bittersweet moments I've experienced in my life... I've shared them with a beautiful person. Someone that I thought wanted me in their life forever. I thought I was part of their purpose, part of their path, future, forever. I don't know what I do know anymore.

I received one of the sweetest compliments while sitting on a river bank with you.

The best laughs I've had with you by my side and I usually think what a great laugh you have and how I'll never miss hearing that laugh next to me and seeing that smile.


Of all the things

06 September 2012

Out of all the things I never knew. I never knew that it was unsure if I was in the future.... I thought it was you and I, forever, until the end of time, cause we're in it together forever baby. I won't give up.


That's my two cents.


When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

Well, I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not
And who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
Still looking up.

I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
