I feel like my time to myself has been uprooted and just walked away. Maybe its dealing with kids all the time. Getting up at 7 in the morning to take out a dog that doesn't like the cold, going to class, then coming to my sister's house to deal with 2 6 year olds and a 3 year old. Oi vey. Then go to pick up the dog at Natalie's house because he can't stand to be tied up outside here, finding gas money to get myself home, and then homework the rest of the night. I try to get to bed early, I actually succeeded last night, I was in bed by 9:30. I haven't gone to bed that early in a very long time. However, I was woken up at 4 by my dog who needed to go outside, and commence with worrying that Adam had crashed on his bike because he wasn't home yet. He was drinking Coffee with Cam, so that's ok.
Maybe its lack of sleep, maybe its just being overwhelmed with kids that don't listen (what kid really does?) or maybe its all of them together, but once again, I feel like I'm in the same position I was in when I was taking a full load at Whatcom and a half load at sehome while trying to find a couch to sleep on. I'm not, but I can feel that tension rising. I don't like it. My weekends have been summarily shot because I told my sister that I'd take Matthew on the weekends for his benefit, so friday nights or saturday nights are now spent with a 3-year-old. What could I do? He needed time away from his brothers, and I couldn't just stand there and let him go crazy.
Tomorrow's friday.... I don't have Matthew this weekend because Launi has it off, and I fear that this weekend will go by all too fast.... Right now it can't come soon enough.
If I don't update this for the next few days,
Happy Birthday Emily! I Love you! Next time you come into town I will sing whatever you want. I don't have money for a birthday present, so that will have to suffice. I love you!
