ah this rain seems to last and last...

ah, this rain seems to last and last...heavy heart yearning grey sky, overcast...(bill mallonee)

strange how hard it rains now, rows and rows of big dark clouds...(patty griffin)

as the rain rolled down the back of my neck, i delivered the news of death and sex...rhodesia, speck, and malcom x...when i was a paper boy.... (david francey)

rain, rain on my face...hasn't stopped raning for days... (jars of clay)

.......

can you guess what today's weather was?...that's right, it rained...all day...it was grey and dark and miserable all day...and cold and windy....

i went to pick up the kids from school and i had an umbrella and the wind blew it inside out...no joke...

thankfully the boys get out at different times -- 2:30 for the little one and 2:45 for the older one...the little one is almost 6 (will be sometime in november, i believe...) so i had him sit and wait in the car while i ran and got his brother, who is six now and will be seven in feburary....

it was miserable to be outside today, i am so glad that the oldest one's soccer practice got cancelled...even if it had been a "go" i might have taken him home regardless, because it was just so cold and miserable...

...

after i got off work today i came home and just kind of relaxed a bit...then mom & i had a delicious spaghetti supper (we hadn't had that in a long time!)....and we really didn't do too much...

tomorrow i have to buckle down and get the reading done for my addictions & family dynamics class...there's a paper due monday on the book we've been reading, and i'm only on chapter two...this is not good...

it's dry reading -- very technical stuff and a lot of psychological terminology....i have to read things a few times sometimes to fully process what it's saying...and i'm someone who reads (and writes!) a lot, so this has been a stretch for me...

....

anyhow, i'm rather tired (i've had a long and somewhat rough week...) .... so i'm probably going to call it a day...

....


how i woke up this morning: carrie newcomer cd in the alarm clock cd player....i hit snooze twice...

one good thing that happened today: after the boys and i got back to their house after school today, we read a couple of books and we also had a tickle war...it was awesome to hear the boys laugh as much as they did...

one not-so-good thing: i told the boys' mom that i would have to find another job soon...(and i really do have to) .... it's hard, because i love those boys so much and i feel like i've been a big part of their lives....but i have more expenses than are being covered by this job, unfortunately...so i need to find something where i'll be earning enough to cover said expenses...and maybe have a little left over once in a while....

.....

tomorrow i'll be spending most of my day reading...as well as sunday...

and then sunday i'll be writing that paper!!....

have a great weekend everyone...
