Here Comes the Rain Little Darlin
it's 6:30 a.m. B's dinner party was fun. I guess I should call it a supper club now. Good people and good food. Once a month we'll try to do dinner, which is cool. We only have two places to choose from to have them though.....once my divorce is final, then maybe I'll move and get a little house and host at my house. Here I sit stuck in Limbo, which feels like forever. March isn't tooo far away. I'm just ready to get everything settled and over with....naturally.
Last night was the most terrible drive back home, though. I couldn't see the road and the rain just kept tumbling down. I actually tried to pull over to the side at a convience store on the outskirts of town and there was a homely looking man carrying a garbage bag over his shoulder. He was trying to hitch a ride and gestured. It was just him standing by a gas pump. There was another car idle with their headlights on in the dark away from the homely man waiting out the rain. It was eerie. I felt like I was in a scary movie for a moment. The dude could have had a Freddie Kruger hand holding his trash bag! I was seriously scared to drive home. I have never driven in rain coming down soooo hard. My windshield wipers couldn't keep up with all of the water sloshing down. The man acted like he was going to approach my car, so I crept back onto the road. All I could think about were my children not having a mother...A bit dramatic I know, but I was so scared! I was scared to be out there, but I was in the middle of Sumter and Columbia. There really wasn't anywhere to go. At least my friend called and talked to me for a split second.I told her I though that I was going to die! I'm serious, it was raining that hard! But I had to concentrate, so I hung up and I finally made it home. I think I drove 35 mph pretty much all the way to Sumter. When I started back home from the dinner party, I dropped my friend off at her house and it was drizzle. By the time I got to Divine, it was raining buckets and I wasn't calling A, who was more than likely asleep. At that point I knew that it was going to be a crappy drive home. Finally, when I got into my big bed and snuggled up under the covers it was heaven. I was so glad to be in my bed. So, now I sit here with a cup of Joe and my thoughts....More to follow. 4 Hours of sleep....Second cup of coffee....I think I'll put on a pot....
