Both Ends Burning-Roxy Music

Fireman's Job
Originally uploaded by The Rocketeer.

I LOVE the sun and laid out in it for over 6 hours yesterday... so when compared to the girlfriends that I walked with last night...I get all of the jealous ribbing that they can dish out.
"Damn...you are so lucky to be a teacher and have the entire summer off....just laying around in the sun"
Now this is coming from girls who stayed home just like me a few years back to raise children...they just chose to go back to their POWER jobs...working in offices...12 months out of the year....not me baby...this is the life!

I did start to feel the wrath of the sun while walking however, and would have stepped through a multitude of sprinklers if I wouldn't have just washed my hair!!!

I usually walk alone...but last night, because of the guys plans...I walked with friends. To see us you would have thought we were drunk..I haven't laughed so much in a long time. I don't even know how to describe the conversations we were having...but we got outa control.
And then we passed the firemen!!! There were like 10 of them...all just hanging out...on a corner...by their station...(Not my usual route.) They could have stopped my sunburn pain...yeah...yeah...I wanted to purposely twist my ankel right then and there....they are trained in paramedics aren't they? Sometimes I question my burning soul...I can find something cute in anyone...anywhere!!! Geez...I even spent time with "Lester the Pester" outside of the Lifehouse concert. If I can find sweetness in a vagrant...I will find it in anyone.

So anyway....because of our Sassy moods on the walk....we decided to continue our own little party when we returned home. It ended up in my yard...carried on into the evening...into darkness...into the guys returning home...into the morning.

I don't know how all of them are going to function today...at work and all....Actually...got a phone call from "L" early this morning..she called in sick to work and we spent an entire half hour laughing and giggling about last nights ridiculous behaviors. I believe I had blacked out some of the evenings events...onl;y to be reminded of them...and allowed to laugh again today. If the sun comes out...we plan to tan...but for NOW... My head is Burning...my empty stomach is Burning...my throat is Burning (Mental Note: Quit smoking)...but my skin is not Burning...it just turned brown over night.

Where is a Good Fireman when you need one?

Today...14 and I go shopping...since he skipped out on me yesterday.
Tonight he is having a sleepover...of about 8 boys...gonna be a late one...I will hang out in the living room until the wee hours....making sure that they don't start a fire and do not leave the basement after midnight...to go out and toilet paper houses...the kids favorite activity during sleepovers. Why do I always get the job of Parent Patrol..?

I think I am getting Burnt Out at this.

"Now my course is plain as day
Running bold across to play
Both ends burning with a strange desire
That feeds the fire in my soul tonight
I will dance the night away
Living only for today
Both ends burning while you're counting sheep
Hell-- who can sleep in this heat this night?
Tell me will I ever learn?
It's too late, the rush is on
Both ends burning and I can't control
The fires raging in my soul tonight
Oh will it never end?
Put your foot around the bend
Drive me crazy to an early grave
Tell me what is there to save tonight
Both ends burning
Burning
Burn"
