Mamarati

well, Jacob had his first soccer game Saturday. It was too sweet. They look like a school of fish out there chasing that ball. He did really well, kicked the ball a bunch of times and fell down once and got right back up and was chasing the ball down again. His team won 3-0. YAY!

He has a friend over now that spent the night. His mom wanted me to pull his tooth since he has pictures this week, so I did. Pretty painless. I did the string thing, which I don’t normally do, but this one was a little crooked and I could tell if I did it the slow squeezy way it was going to hurt him. He said he didn’t even feel it come out. Another YAY!

In other news, I’m wiped out. I am so tired I can barely function. I don’t know what’s gotten into me. I went to bed last night at a decent enough hour, slept in, and then took a two hour nap earlier. I’m still tired.

Stormed pretty bad last night. Sirens were going off so the boys were in the bathroom waiting for further tornado avoiding instruction. Jacob suggested they pray. The sight of both of them sitting on the edge of the bathtub with prayer hands was such a hoot I wish I’d had my camera.

Must have worked. No tornado blew us to bits.

Today was mostly sunny, except for this five minute storm that just blew through and laid buckets of hail all over the place. Now it’s sunny again.

Nothing like a Texas spring.

Got my financial aid award letter from the university. Am getting buttloads of aid… almost equivalent to my current yearly salary. I can ask for more in loans, and I just might do that so I don’t have to work that much. It would be great to find some afternoon job with school age kids or something and go to school the rest of the time and let that be my life until I finish my master’s.

I need to go and take a shower so I can get Lester back home, get Jacob to his dad’s and deliver my brother to the military base. I feel like a big taxi this weekend.

Pretty sad for someone who doesn’t even have a car.

I lost the last car I was bidding on… think I might just win the next one… It’s not like it’s some super wonderful car, but it’s cute and small- toyota corolla… it’s local so I don’t have to fly somewhere to get it and drive it back. It’s right next to Kim’s work, so I may have her go down and look at it or something.

I don’t care at this point. I just want something that is mine, that has a/c, that will have no payments and that will run well enough to get me through the next year or so.

More later. I need to shower. Time keeps on tickin, tickin, tickin, into the future…
