Family
So early in our house is 11:00 am as we all run late shifts at night. Bed time is somewhere around 1:00-2:00 am, and wake up sometime around 11:30-12:00. Rising at 9:00 this morning after a 1:00 bed time, was not a pleasant thing. Granted, I'm the type of person that requires 10-12 hours of sleep. Have to maintain what little beauty I have. (lol) Ah well, such is the way of life. I hop up every Sunday morning and make coffee for my work. Oh joy.... At least I get paid to do it, and I get to sleep in tomorrow morning.
As the boys thunder around the house getting ready to go fetch our author, I sit here and think about our little "family." Call it what you will but I suppose in our own little, dysfunctional, crazy, (sometimes insane) way, we are. We bicker like siblings, and sometimes our author and I take turns at playing mom and making the chores get done. Others, my hubby has to play dad and feed the rest of us children as we are all to cranky at each other to do it ourselves. And still others, our scientist has to (most of the time) be chef and cook for the rest of us as the gamer (my hubby) can't cook much more that top ramen and pizza. Though it's the best top ramen you will ever taste. It's terribly funny when you think about it. When people live together in a group, familial bonds just tend to happen. You may fight and bicker, but when it comes down to it, you are there for each other no matter what. When one is having a bad day, the rest do their best to make it better. when one is sick, the rest take care of them and make them rest. When one needs to cry, there are shoulders there for them to cry on, and when one is excited, the rest celebrate with them. I guess that's what family is really about, isn't it? Being there for each other no matter the sorrow, the pain, the grief, or the hardships. Celebrating with one another in joy, peace, and happiness. What more can you say but come what may, you always have a family to lean on. It may not be by blood, but blood is not what makes a family. Love does. Love is a choice and an action. So, if you choose to love someone, and act it out, then perhaps that is what makes them family, no matter if they return it.
Well bloggers, I have nothing more to say as I said it all for tonight. Sleep well no matter where you are. And always remember, there is always someone who loves you...no matter what, and no matter who.
