Turn Me On

After a day spent with RJ... with the intention of keeping him from sitting home and moping around... I think he was the one who kept me from sitting at home and moping around... which is exactly what I have done so far today... two nights of restless, cold sleep... and a few issues with my son yesterday certainly have made it easier to sit on the couch (in the sun) and vegging out... rather than going to the laundromat or washing dishes or cleaning the bathroom or making centers for school.

Finally got up after a few phone calls from RJ and Amused Muse (they kept waking me up from my nap in the sun) and preparing for the trip to do my clothes washing. Turned on my mp3's I have on the computer...

Ever have a song that just cuts you to the quick? Norah Jones' Turn Me On did it today... yeah I am waiting, just sitting here and waiting for him to come in and turn me on...

Him? oh no, I don't know who "him" is, but sometimes, he could be just about anybody and other days, nobody could be him.

Then again, maybe I am just not ready... don't know if I will be ready in this life, but if I am suppose to be learning and preparing and waiting... I am doing a shitload of that...

Like a flower waiting to bloom
Like a lightbulb in a dark room
I'm just sitting here
waiting for you
to come on home and turn me on

Like the desert
waiting for the rain
Like a school kid
waiting for the spring
I'm just sitting here
waiting for you
to come on home and turn me on

My poor heart
It's been so dark
since you've been gone

After all
you're the one who turns me off
you're the only one who can
turn me back on

My heart fire is waiting for a new tune
My glass is waiting for some fresh ice cubes
I am just sitting here waiting
For you to come home and turn me on.
