oh bother

I am a girl. Sometimes a girly-girl, lover of all things shiny, silky, smelly.

Other times, I'm a redneck girl, drinker of beer, queen of cussing and dirty jokes.

Sometimes, I'm a lover, immersed in all things sexual.

Most of the time, I'm a mom, a silly mom, sympathetic, listening, hounding my kids about calling me, travelling across the country just to spend a few hours with them two, three times a year, reminding them of their dad's birthday even though we've been divorced for 10 years and the kids are 24 and 26, sending them money when they need it, sending them care packages when they don't, loving them unconditionally through every situation imaginable.

My integrity has come into question for all the wrong reasons. I can do little to defend it.

But I know me.
And these two know me.
That's what counts.
