Hiding In The Surf....

Well Mermaids,

I have been diving in and out of the waters...

Waters in the sea, life and my soul.

Honestly... I still have no clue where I stand,

Or if I am even standing at all.

Perhaps I am just treading water.

I have kept up my shell picking, for it lets my brain go free...

My kids and I have been trying to make the best of a new home...

The State of NJ putting the screws to me...

Having ZERO help at all...

Losing all their toys, furniture, basically everything.

 

So with the little I have...

I try to make us happy.

Whether it is a day fishing...

And literally catching our dinner...

Or just being plain goofballs on the boat.

That is what we are doing to keep smiles on our faces,

And not let the hard knocks of a screwed up Family Court 

Control freak individuals...

We may not have much...

And get thrown a new wrench daily...

But we go to sleep each night and see a gorgeous sunset,

 look at our beautiful stars, 

And know we have each other.

I mean...

We learned a little something along the way...

We can tread water a little longer right?

Can't wait to catch up with you all!!!

The Calm

Like the lone bird I feel...

In search of the calm.

Hidden away in solitude.

Looking out and searching...

For my ship to come in.

But I stroll the shores

Admiring the treasures.

Enjoying the calm.

Knowing that I am not anchored anymore.

I shall build my own ship.

Grabbing Some Sea Air

It has been a hard week.... my dad passing, leaving my kids again...NOW bc the car was totaled and no new one yet, so how could I possibly take them I was told....(yes, smoke is coming from my ears!) Then I find out today, that my Berner was taken to the vet yesterday..My Miss LOLA..who HE ALSO has!!!!! They believe she has pyometra...and we are awaiting the ultra sound.... I must say....I am thankful he did take her to one of the best vets in Philly... But ya know... no need to be mean... nasty... I am one person, just as he.... Either work with me and let's get a move on... Arguing, control games... You are hurting children. Me...Hell, I am used to it...but I would be careful... I am ticking.....
So... on my lighter note, I was way over due to be connected to my ever loving sea... As cold as the air has been her on the Gulf...it was calling me.
So I was fortunate that one of the girls in the complex knew I was about to implode, and drove me down to Pass-a-Grille.  My favorite beach spot.
It was getting later in the day, the wind was kicking, but I didn't care.... I haven't had a real moment to cry out for my Dad.
Well, here I did.

Yes, she caught me on camera coming up with an arm full of shells...holding back my sobs.

But I needed it.

It was odd, bc as we walked we found random wilted flowers on the beach, or floating...which I have never seen before....

This one inparticular caught my eye.... I do not have a reason on why.

 

It just spoke to me.

 The was whipping more... I shed my own salty tears into the salty water...and left my own mark.

Then realized that I was hungry.  For the first time in days....

So off we went to grab some soup and salad at the Brass Monkey.

Very much needed!

This will be a long process I know, But a little consideration along the way from "him" would kinda help matters along.

Enjoy the rest of your week my mermaids....
