Merry Christmas, I'm headed for the porch swing
Just turned 7:00 a.m. and the sun has lightened the shadows, but has not arisen yet. I wrapped the last two gifts I had to wrap this morning, made coffee, fed the cats and am headed for the porch. Unfortunately, I got up to a really messy kitchen/living room, a mess which my hubby vowed would be cleaned up when I got up this morning. I'm not angry, because I know he intended to do what he said; the problem is, he is not and never has been someone I can depend on to do what he says. Neither is my daughter. I told hubby the only thing I wanted for Christmas is a mantle over the fireplace. We have a really nice brick fireplace, which has had no mantle now for 3-1/2 years. I fully expected to wake up to a brand new mantle... bet you can guess what I woke up to; this is usually the story of my Christmas. When hubby asks what I want, it is usually something done around here, in my home, a place where I spend a great deal of time. I can only remember one time when I woke up to find my request had come true. I'm struggling to hide my disappointment, hence, a session in the porch swing. The sunrise and the birds chirping can soothe my soul.
