Today

we're all going to die eventually. and i have no intention of dying until i have my 8 kids and a crazy house with a big back yard


and a tire swing hanging off a huge tree in the front yard


the kind of tree you hate because the roots make the grass all bumpy when you mow


and in autumn the damn leaves never stop falling


and in the spring it's all bugs


and in the summer it blocks the breeze to the house, so you're always too hot


i've got soccer games to drive to


and football games to watch


and a husband to make up with after we fight over something stupid


i'm giving up on the damn doctors


i didn't say i was giving up on myself
