So tired...

I am so tired but I can't sleep. I am reading a great book - "The Robber Bride" by Margaret Atwood. I am getting to the good part; plus this book makes me think about things - it makes me want to write. I have read it once before but it is the kind of book you can read over again because the characters, the story, and writing are superb. I will have to write more about it when I finish it.

 

Sunday we were very busy. Me and my husband, stepson and his girlfriend went bowling. I have not been bowling in almost 2 years. I ended up kicking all their butts!  We had fun although we all bowled like crap. The high score was 98. Gee whiz, bowling is expensive too! WTF, why is everything going sky high? I guess no one wants anyone to have any fun any more, well except the very rich. We have to find some cheaper activities, hehe. I feel bad for the kids. It seems like I had it easier in the fun department when I was in JR high. Things may have been a little safer (not too sure) and maybe things weren't cheaper (I think they were a little bit) but it seem my parents and some of my friends parents had more money then the parents of today.

 

Then, after dropping the girlfriend (she is cute, seems sweet and is into NASCAR like my stepson - good for him!) off at home, we headed out to visit my husband's brother and nephew. My brother-in-law had a stroke about 4 weeks ago. The family has been trying to take turns going out to his place (he lives about an hour away from everyone) on the week-ends to make sure he is doing all right. He is doing better, good for someone who has had a stroke. His short term memory has been affected. I am hoping it gets better though; he seems to get frustrated about it. It can be frustrating, but I want him to relax right now and not worry too much about it. I think he will get some of it (shrt term mem) back once he is feeling better (he is still having headaches - should not be stroke related at this point but...) and his stress level is down. It is going to take time. Of course he has money worries (as well as other health issues that need to be addressed - it all takes money and some damn good insurance), not being able to work and all. I am hoping and praying for the best.

 

We dropped my stepson back at his Mom's house on our way back home. We get to see him tomorrow so that is good. Then me and my hubby went home to spend some quality time It was a good day yesterday. Now I need to sleep so I can work on getting the house all cleaned up while I am on Spring Break.  Oh, and also get ahead on my reading for school.
