Mass Murdering Pretty Bugs For Dummies

Filed under: Life,Travel — Tags: , , , , , — denise @ 11:46 pm

Driving home after returning The Teen back into the care of his father I suddenly find myself under attack by a glowing green splatterishness.

My imagination IMMEDIATELY takes over.   A Ford spaceship?

Something much, MUCH HOLY SHIT WORSE?

Actually, I’m way off base.  Turns out, it’s just the most poorly placed bug gathering EVER.

What’s worse, when I realize that I am, in fact, MASS MURDERING glow bugs with my vehicle, I lose it.

I go immediately and completely creep out,slap my body, think I’m covered in bugs crazy.  You know, while driving 75 miles an hour down a dark Iowa highway.

Also, I’m wearing REALLY UNFORTUNATE ACCESSORIES for the occasion.

And, in the end, like so many things in my life… I am left conflicted and confused by my own morbid curiosity.

Also, I really, REALLY need a car wash.

The Teen is leaving me… us…. and moving to Iowa to spend this summer and his junior year with his father.

I’m nervous about so many things.  How school will go… how he and his dad will get along… what it will be like to parent from another state…

But mostly, how I will miss him so much that my heart cracks in half.

How I will have conversations with him on the phone that I think sound like, “Hi honey! Are you getting along with Dad?” that will sound to him like, “Please come home. Please come home. Please come home….”
