And this time, it's…
…the alternator. *sigh* I had hoped it would be something less expensive. But at least the minivan will be ready this afternoon. Thank goodness. So now I'm hoping this will be last car expense for some time. At least until I've secured some income and managed to build something of a reserve in the bank!
Time for something more pleasant. I went over to my Uncle & Aunt's in Colleyville last night. They needed someone to watch their littlest ones and help get the middle children ready for school; they were going down to Waco to watch their oldest play soccer and their next-oldest cheer.
So, while I didn't have to drive anyone this time, I was still up early early early. It was nice taking care of the youngest, Sam and Bernadette, though even for the few hours I was there, there were times I felt a little out of my depth.
See, I've been saying for some time that I eventually wish to have a family. I've felt what I considered to be my "biological clock." Today though I felt in such a way that might cause me to re-examine those feelings.
Perhaps it's a lack of experience. I do like to know what I'm doing. I dunno. I did have a nice time with them. We played. I fixed them lunch. But I didn't feel…what? "Paternal?" And when my Aunt & Uncle returned, I jumped at the chance to get home. (Well, I was tired!)
I think when my sister Jenny's child arrives I may have a better idea how I truly feel about one day having children of my own.
Well, enough introspection for now.
