Im longing for simpler things today. It would be nice if I could go back in time and sit in my Big Mamas lap, eating peanut butter sandwiches with that thick ass welfare peanut butter. I would love to eat about three of her made from scratch flour biscuits and Golden Eagle syrup in that recycled aluminum pie pan. I want to drink super sweet red Kool-Aid from a mason jar....help her shuck corn that she grew in her garden just for me, shell peas and pop my cousins upside the head with them as we sit on her front porch. I want to hear her fuss at us for chunking them peas and I want to go Boyds store in Sandfield to buy her a loaf of bread, a carton of milk, and a Hostess Apple Pie for myself with her food stamps. I want to hear her yell down the damn street, Gone on to dat sto and come on back hea with my change. I want to go buy my Madea a can of snuff while her and my Big Mama sit on the porch staring across the way at nothing and half way talking. I want to walk down 20th Street to Hunt High, sit in the bleachers with my childhood friends and talk about what happened at school. I want to sit on the phone with a boy I like and talk about absolutely nothing...and were both okay with that. Im just saying....I want simpler today. Thats all. This grown woman shit aint fun all the time. I get tired of worrying about bills & other unexpected financial expenses, tired of wondering if Im gonna do everything I want to do in this life, and frustrated & impatient with men and their extra nothingness. Simple today. Just today. Thats all I want. #venting #mytruth
