Nothing Between Me and The Ground

****

It is in your power to withdraw into yourself whenever you
desire. Perfect tranquility within consists in the good
ordering of the mind - the realm of your own.

Marcus Aurelius

Dad's time here is quickly coming to an end. I just
realized that today. It's Tuesday and he leaves on Friday.
It feels as though he just got here and now I'm already
feeling his impending departure looming over me. Why do we
have to live so far apart. I envy children who have their
parents close to them. It may seem like a burden to them,
but it's something at this stage of my life, I'd love to
have. A safety net of sorts. At times I feel very much
like I'm on a tight rope. With nothing between me and the
ground to break my fall. To make a long story short - I'm
gonna miss dad when he leaves :(

My day was pretty uneventful. Work went by quickly and
smoothly and other than that, there wasn't anything else
going on. I'm at a loss for things to talk about. What a
shame. I know you were dying for something good to read,
too.

I've discovered a trend that's been evolving over the past
month or so. I spend more time on myspace than I do here.
I still have a great sense of loyalty for my-diary, but I
enjoy the communication I get from myspace. I've always
got a friend on to talk with. I'm always getting a message
or a comment. I can get to know other people. It's fun. In
a very adolescent sort of way, but that's okay. I still
have a connection with my-diary that I don't think can be
broken. I'm very grateful to the people I've met here and
the comfort having this diary has given me. Even on the
days I don't have anything to write about, like today :)

I'm gonna go for now. I want to take a shower and fall
back to sleep. I passed out on the couch when I got home
from work and dad just let me sleep. He always does that.
Instead of waking me up, so I can do my mom duties, he
just lets me sleep. It's so nice compared to being on duty
all the time. I feel a little guilty about it sometimes,
though. I'm not accustomed to having help when it comes to
taking care of the girls or doing housework type stuff.

Okay, now I'm just rambling. Ciao!
