going away that is–but after the last few years my hopes for anything good have been pretty much dashed. So I am taking my mp3 player, a book, and a movie–he already wasted much of the morning wasting time–I almost was hoping something important or even not important (as has been the case in the past) so the trip would be canceled–one thing I do no is that all of the sexy things I took on previous trips that never got used are staying home–this is a trip of comfort for me.

tommorw in Pa–it is voting day–and at least the campaign commercials will end for a few days

16 year dd is at an overnight at one of the colleges she is interested in–I drove her down–it is a 90 minute drive–each way–I pick her up tomorrow morning–then I am stopping at the college my oldest is attending and bring home a car load of stuff she had to have with her–but never used–her last day of her freshman year is May 6

the area I live in had 12 brush fires over the weekend–in fact the one on the mountain was so large and long that everybody (including us) all got in are cars and got as close as we the police would let us–the joys of living in a small town–it almost was a field block party–we even had planes flying over the fire dropping water on it–there was not any damage to houses–just empty mountain side–now burnt empty mountain side

when my daughter who is at college calls me sometimes–I just do not want to talk to her–if I say hey–can we im later-cause I just might be doing something for myself–she acts as if I am the meanest person in the world–I mean she comes home every weekend–

for 60 people that is. I was volunteered by hubby for this–also 2 cakes or pies–It is for the volunteer appreciation dinner–all the board ( of which he belongs to) of the non profit thingy that I volunteer for (working with the children with the homework after school is the part I participate with) are suppose to do their part–but of course his part becomes my part–and now he is trying to get out of helping to set up because golf has started and that is more important–but it is not working–and in the end he will pull his weight on this–because if he does not–if will affect how he looks to people and of course that is always what counts–and to top it off–he said he would bring the coffee and he thought he would just pilfer my expensive coffee–that is not going to happen

I have been reading every one else–I come here to write and then I get distracted.

so in a nutshell

Hubby is still the same–it seems every time that both girls were gone–he was busy–you think with one in college and the other one being 16 and working a part time job–we(meaning him) would be able to find some time together. that never happened. so I withdrew. he knows something is wrong (brilliant)–but I am real tired of trying–and I know he is too lazy to do the work that would be needed to make things better–right now the plan is getting through the next year and a half–when my 16 year old goes off to college–that is when change will take place–at least on my part

My 18 year old–she will be finished her first year of college in 3 weeks–her and all of her stuff will make its way home–yikes–she has a month off before her work at the summer program starts–I am sure we will get in each others way

My 16 year old–has a job–does her school work–reads a lot–hangs out with a few friends–almost has all of her hours and then she can go for her driving license–another yike–she also got accepted into a youth scholars summer program at a college close to us–that will take us some of her summer–it is good to be her

me–just trying to find peace
