Ugh! Last night I had nightmares about a grizzly bear. Then I had one about my sister Maggie and she was trying to drive to work drunk and we were trying to stop her. 

Then David woke up irritated this morning. Another run to Wisconsin, this time to Sturgeon Bay. I think driving these long runs everyday when he is not used to it may be making him a little cranky.

He told me he missed his office yesterday. Of course he would, he has worked in one for the last twelve years. I totally get where he is coming from. These adjustments are not always easy. I think over this last year David has made more changes in his work life than the rest of us and most of which he had no control over.

The Milwaukee run went ok but bot h David and Kelli were sore by the time they got back home last night. They were in the heart of the city and the only two while people for miles around. Gave them both a clear idea of what it feels like when a black person is in this predominately white area. They felt all eyes upon them as they went into McDonald's to use the bathrooms. 

Not sure what the day brings today for me. I feel restless and like David, slightly irritated. Some things just come so easy for some and then there is us with our luck, or lack of...

The truck is still sitting on the lot in Wisconsin not sold yet. If we don't get this sold David cannot finish his van and this delays him going out with John. Why does life have to be so hard? I've really come to believe the good people in life are the ones who struggle the hardest and the mean people get everything handed to them on a platter. 

Oh God, let me not go down this road, it's just not worth the upset to an already shaky day!

Kelli has most of her bedroom packed up and she seems to be living out of boxes now. We have to figure out how to get her another $325 to pay her book money before the 13th of August. David did pay her for helping him on the road trip so she has some of it. One way or another we will get it taken care, it is just annoying we can't do more for her right now. 

Poor Hemingway is going to miss his mama. She is so sad because he knows something is up and has been very clingy to her. At night he huggs her tight with his little kitty arms wrapped tightly around her while she is sleeping. He is such a smart and wonderful cat. He would make the best therapy cat ever. I think he has brought her through some very tough times by just being close to her. Bless his little furry heart. 

So, now it is time for me to get on with my day, first thing is to run over to Mel's and get Jackson's dog food. Not sure what the rest of my day will bring. Probably cleaning the house of cat hair and finding something to make for dinner with the chicken I took out. Does not sound so exciting does it? Believe me, my life is not exciting but for the most part I'm pretty content with that. At least I am alive and have all my children and husband, animals and a really comfortable home. A lot more than some people have and don't think I don't appreciate and cherish that every single day of my life.

I love you husband in case you read this while you are out on the road (not driving) but parked. Love my kids, miss my kids, miss my husband....  I miss a lot of things these days...  

Have a super duper day!!
