The world has not changed, I am just in it.
Most of the time, I don't watch tv. I am most likely to waste time in front of it when I am home, in a traditional setting, making dinner and thinking to myself..."It's 5 o'clock...the news is coming on."
So what great bits of information have I learned this week?
*People are over zealous with terrorism. They are showing their fear.
*JonBonnet's killer is finally found. The guy appears to be a very sick man.
*Middle east is still a dangerous place.
I've been home for the last 4 days. It has been nice. I took Katie and her friends to the movies (Step Up), Okay...I liked it! Honest. Something about all that dancing. Just made me want to work harder towards my own personal goals.
I spent some time with my dad. He's still my favorite man.
I took Megan out yesterday to run errands (my car, uhem..."NEEDED" (not really) a SMOG test). It's always fun to be with her. If anyone could put a smile back on my face, it's her. We walked over to staples and bought some school stuff. She was so good about NOT asking for everything. However, I knew that what she really wanted for school was not there. She had seen some notebooks and folders in Limited Too last month that she liked.
After we picked up the car I was about to drive home when I looked at her and remembered the special supplies she wanted. I made a right turn and got on the freeway. The Gallaria Mall was about 15 minutes away.
She smiled, knowing where we were going and why.
We had fun singing together to her favorite music. I let her sit up front with me, even though she BARELY meets the weight and height requirements to be safe sitting where there is an airbag.
Michael is disappointed because he always gets the tired me. The me that needs down time. The me that doesn't smile. The me that gets stomach aches. The me that doesn't know what to say. The grumpy me.
I suppose he has a point. Why do I get that way? Why do I get that way only around him?
Today I'm busy doing laundry and making brownies. Yes, it's that time again. I start another 4 day trip tomorrow morning at 6am. I thought about flying to Fresno this time, but I just have to much to do to make an early afternoon flight. Also the thought of wearing my uniform on a day off, getting to the airport at 7:30 and sleeping on the crew couch doesn't sound very pleasent. I'll just drive. I don't mind the drive. Besides, Katie made me a new cd.

Your brother and I have had the same discussion. Why do we always get the tired and cranky part of each other? We decided that it was because we were the ones that each other felt 'safe' enough with and would understand and love us even though they saw the imperfect, unhappy side. Friends get tired of seeing/hearing the exhaustion. Kids are impacted emotionally/psychologically by chronic exhaustion. Spouses agree to take the good with the bad--the tired and cranky with the happy and energetic--even if it is lopsided sometimes.....I don't know if any of this is true or not, but it is working for us right now. If it is a load of crap, then please let us keep thinking it....wouldn't want to rock the boat if it's working....
