feel better now
Okay just got off the phone, I don't feel quite so bad about it, because apparently the city is also a sheet of ice. One of the women lives in the south end, takes the same route as I do into work most of the time and she said that the whole thing was bad. Very icy. So obviously no one is surprised I called in...gack, just so sick of this. It is so time to be spring.
Anyway guess this gives me carte blanche to go and start the laundry, yay! (too bad you can't hear sarcasm on the net...) Actually I think I will throw a load of towels in, then come and challenge my computer scrabble game. It's bad when you are glad your spouse is in bed so you can get the computer....how things change. Although I can't deny part of me would like to go burrow under the covers again with my book....guess I should just bite the bullet and get going on my day. All my days off are the same, housework, housework and more housework. Steal some time to read or sit in the tub. Maybe today I will give myself a real treat and watch a movie in the afternoon. After all, have to fold laundry anyhow....wish my back didn't hurt. Makes sitting here kinda painful. I think it is better when I am on my feet. Should go for a walk later, I wonder if the streets here are icy? I am surprised the city wasn't sanded yet.
Okay, definately done now. I love how I can use this blog to get things off my chest. Otherwise I think I would explode. I suppose it is the same concept as keeping a journal or diary, when people act like the diary is a person who is reading the letter. I am assuming no one is reading these very often, but there is always the potential of someone reading them. I don't know why that matters at all. Somehow it makes you feel more validated by the thought that someone out there might care. Although the things I write here are purely personal and not interesting to anyone. Weird. like writing a diary and leaving it out for someone to find. Like here are my thoughts, my private thoughts, don't read them, but okay, you found them so go ahead.....I am sure some psychologist could make something out of this....
I mean, my kids blogs are pretty much just a way to communicate with their relatives in a bulk fashion. My son uses his in a cathartic way, as I do, I think he uses it to gather his thoughts, or perhaps just whine about how much work he has to do and how he chooses his essay topics....I read it anyway, gives me a window into his head. He is so much like me, it is sometimes weird to read what he writes. Although he is so unlike me, in terms of being a young man. Nothing effeminate about that kid. I think I can understand him better when he lets me see what he is thinking. I can see that right now he is totally stressed about school and ready to be done for the year. He is thinking of moving home for awhile, so that will be interesting. I guess I will need to find someplace to put him... we have a big house but the whole thing is full of junk. I have this great plan when the kids are home this summer that we can go through and purge. I often have these thoughts, but I really really mean it this time. I hate to take time off work to do housework, but I think that is the only way it will ever get done. Taking time off means I have no money to do anything anyway.
Not too nuts about losing today's wages. I have lost about 4 shifts worth this winter already (3 due to weather and 1 due to cancellation) and my schedule is reduced in the first place. I mean, I am really happy to have this weekend off but my wages will be pathetic. You can't have it both ways, I guess, time or money, pick one. somehow I never have enough of both, though. Guess today I will be grateful for the opportunity to see my kid a few hours earlier than usual. yay.
