It’s Sunday afternoon and I’m bored out of my wits so I thought I’d update my journal. Haven’t been here in a while. Been too busy. In fact all my days are the same old blur. I get up at 7 AM, head to the rock yard, work until 12 Noon, go home, take a shower, grab something to eat if I have time, go to my job at school, work until 7 PM, come home, fix supper if I’m not too tired to eat, check my email, answer a few if I feel like it, then crawl in the bed and read for a couple of hours before going to sleep. Then I wake up the next morning and do it all over again. My Saturdays are spent running errands, cleaning house, and doing laundry, and Sunday’s I basically do nothing unless I’m spending time with my boys, which doesn’t happen often, because I’m always broke. Today we were going to go for a hike, but it rained.

Yesterday I heard two teens talking and one girl was upset because she hadn’t heard from her boyfriend in 6 days, and he wasn’t answering her text messages. I must have looked appropriately astonished, because she said, “Yeah, it’s been six days. I think we’re broke up again.” Her friend told her to let the guy come back to her this time, not to go chasing after him again. Which is pretty darn good advice coming from a teenager. Now If could just do the same with my boyfriend who doesn’t answer the phone or my email much anymore, even though he swears up and down he loves me. Gee, he sure doesn’t act like he does. I wonder if he’d even notice if I stopped calling or emailing him. *sigh* I’m 38 years old. So things never get any better with the guys, girls. You might as well get used to it. Men don’t seem to care or understand how much their actions or non-actions can hurt a woman.

Last night I put in the movie “Speed”, a movie I normally like, but small little things about it irritated me this time…Kneau Reeves chewing on that gum…I kept thinking, spit it out or swallow it, sheesh! Jeff Daniels and that gravelly voice…I kept thinking, clear your blasted throat before you drive me bananas! And I so wanted to slap Sandra Bullock! She was such a bitch early in the movie. I mean, come on, did she really think a police officer would jump from a speeding car onto a speeding bus just for the hell of it? By this time Kneau had stopped chewing gum and was back into my good graces, and I applauded him for telling her to sit down and shut up with just the words, “Ma’am, please!” After the movie was over, I picked up an Anna Pigeon mystery by Nevada Barr, which I absolutely love, but Anna started getting on my nerves with her sarcastic attitude toward God in this novel. I guess I must have been PMSing yesterday, because usually little things like that don’t bother me.

I need a good comedy! “Lone Star State of Mind” is hilarious, so I’ll watch it and maybe go to sleep happier tonight
