quick update….

things have been very crazy here. i spent my ENTIRE WEEKEND cleaning my house. it was pretty nasty, i am here to tell you. i was marginally annoyed because some of the other people who live there decided my cleaning was a spectator sport and watched me. that was frustrating considering i am one of the people who actually spends the least amount of time at home. i am over it though….we, too, have done some things that have needed to be done for a long time and it feels pretty damn good. there was a gnarly double-blind that we had in the living room window that’s needed to be replaced for a long time. at some point, one of the kids had exploded a ketchup packet or something all over my walls and ceiling, and that finally got cleaned up too, and the floors in the living and dining rooms and kitchens finally cleaned real well.

my sis starts a new job today. keep your fingers crossed that she can handle this one. i know that sounds mean to say, but that airline job seems like it was total gravy and she didn’t last there, although she did last for more than a year =) i am just bitter because i can’t fly for free anymore. at any rate, i think i am the person who benefitted the most when she DID have that benefit, so i suppose i can deal with that =) i hope she does well for her own sake. she caused us a bit of drama this weekend surrounding a stupid man in her life and wanting to kill herself. it was annoying. i never understood how people could tie their entire sense of self-worth up into another person. gah! enough.

kids are doing good. i think i have seen more of my son in the last few weeks than i did the last two years he lived at home =) he lives very near where i work, so he often drops by, we have eaten lunch several times together, and we are working on forming that adult relationship. he still has a lot to learn, but i love him, he’s my baby.

my daughter is home sick today. she got a head cold this weekend and it’s kicking her butt. she feels yucky…i bought her medicine and told her to stay home! she is home from school today, she is supposed to work, but she works with food, so if she isn’t feeling better, i am going to encourage her to stay home from there too.

me and my girl are doing good. we went to a movie on campus here last week, to see two parts of "if these walls could talk 2". what the hell is that, where you only show half a movie? hahahaha…we were marvelling about that. we also saw an episode of "30 days" where they stuck some redneck bible-thumping kid from a small town in michigan with a gay man in the castro in san fran for 30 days to see if they could alter his world view at all =) that was a good show, the young man learned a lot, and the experience i am sure changed him forever.

enough of an update from me, for now. i will write more as i can =)

peace.
