My afternoons are usually very crazy. Filled with dirty clothes and dirty dishes and a hundred questions and baths and popsicles and kisses. When I finally get the girls in bed and grab that last load of laundry from the dryer, I am lusting after my bed. I look at it longingly as I fold up those last few t-shirts or iron my pants for the next day. I am in the habit of checking my sheets and blankets for scorpions after the incident last year. After I do, I plug my cell phone in, grab the remote for my air conditioner and turn my alarm clock on. Then I hit the lights and go to sleep. I have thought before about turning my cell phone off so no one will call while I am sleeping but I am always afraid that there will be an emergency and I won't even know, so I don't. I pulled my sheet up and rolled onto my side. I was going over all of the things I needed to do in the morning so that I wouldn't forget anything for the next day. I was nodding of, in that place where you aren't awake but you are still semi-conscious when my cell phone started to sing 'Meant to Live' by Switchfoot. Scared the crap out of me. I picked it up and didn't recognize the number. I almost hung it up but then thought it might be someone looking for my mother. So, I hit talk and said hello as I picked up my alarm. Eleven forty five.
Hello Kate. I would hate to think I woke you.
Uhm, no. Almost, but no. I'm sorry, who is this?
Laughter, low and throaty and husky. He didn't have to answer, his entire presence filled my bedroom and I was suddenly wide awake.
Ahhh, yes, Jason. Hello. How are you? Who are you?
He chuckled and it felt like someone ran their finger down my spine.
That is the question, isn't it? And I know that it has to be driving you mad. But, lets leave it for now darling, if you don't mind?
Hmmm. I guess, for now. But, you will have to tell me, soon.
And I will, soon. So, did you manage to clear a few hours in your schedule for me?
No. I haven't yet. I have to admit that I am extremely hesitant to spend an entire evening with a man I don't know and who doesn't seem inclined to tell me.
(yes, I really talk like this. Shut up)
I understand, completely. So lunch then? That is safe. You can meet me at [restaurant] and we will see if I can't ease your nerves enough for an entire evening. Does one o'clock suit you?
I thought about it for a few seconds. It was safe and it was just lunch.
Yes. One is fine. So I guess I will be seeing you tomorrow then?
I am already looking forward to it. Get some sleep Kate, sweet dreams.
You too.
Bye.
I knew that Jiffinner would be beyond pissed that I didn't call, but she was going to have to wait until tomorrow. Who is this guy? Well, there was no use in trying to sleep now. I got up and came to check my email and update my blog for you guys.
Who the hell do you think he is??
Who: katehopeeden
Where: San Antonio, Texas Yeah, so I am all that you see here. I am friendly and kind, crazy and bitchy, playful and flirty... sometimes I am funny but mostly I just write the first thing that comes to mind and then stop when it ends. I love life and I am lucky to be living the one that I am. Want to know more?

"The most wasted day is one in which we have not laughed"
"Life moves pretty fast, if you don’t stop and look around once in a while you might miss it."
"Guys are like stars, there's a million of them out there but only one of them can make your dreams come true."
"Reach for the moon, even if you miss you will still land among the stars"

"I just got done reading the history lessons on your blog (yes, I've been lurking on your blog). All the respect I had for you...has increased, like, tenfold. I don't think I could have done it. To go through what you have and not only still be able to discuss it with such wit and poise, but also to raise those three gorgeous girls. You are truly an inspiration. You are honestly one of the strongest people I have ever known, either online or IRL. Thank you so much." -Stef
