Memorial weekend

My sister decided that I needed to go see my nephew in Indiana and I had better do it this weekend as I'm going home on Wednesday. Sooooo  I took my brother-in-laws junker Saturn and drove up here. It's between a 2 1/2 to 3 hour drive depending on weither or not you go the highway all the way or take Route 6 (which by the way I found out runs from the tip of the Cape all the way to California. Thanks for telling me that sis) Once you get into Indiana you get on Interstate 69 and get off in Angola, IN onto route 20 and it's about 22 miles from there to my nephews. It was a wonderful trip but the whole way I was praying "Lord let this car make it to Shawn's and back. PLEASE." The car isn't bad for a little POS but it does need some front end work as when you hit the brakes the front end shimmy's real bad. It's a standard so for the most part you can slow down just by letting off the gas and down shifting so you only need the brakes when you have to stop completely. So here I am.

It's been an eventful week. Getting yelled at (OK maybe not yelled just talked to sternly) really puts a damper on moods. I know my sister probably isn't aware of how she talks to people but it's kind of putting people down most of the time. Like she doesn't put her pants on the same way I do. Bull. I have kind of come to expect it from her and in a way that is why I only talk to her on the phone and try not to see her but a couple times a year. Don't get me wrong I love her with all my heart but there only so long you can be told your not doing things the way they should be done before you crack and start saying F*** you. I am able to listen to her and ignore most of what she says but I sit an sheath in silence. I don't do a lot of talking most of the time anyway so it's not a stretch to stay silent. I read a lot when I'm around her as well as I can lose myself in where ever the story is set and feel like I'm someone actually in the book. It's a way of getting away from her putting me down. On her part she does say she's sorry after the fact but at the time it hurts. Sis, if your reading this I think I've said all this to you.

It's not been a great morning this morning. Something I have eaten or drank isn't sitting well and I have been in and out of the bathroom at least half a dozen times and that's since my nephew and his girlfriend went to bed. (They work nights so they are sleeping now while I played catch up on e-mails and wrote here) I hope that I don't disturb them to much. Their cat must be wondering what the heck is going on with me. I think it may be the coffee that's doing it so what did I do? Get another cup. Stupid I know but I've never been accused of having to much between the ears. Every once in a while though I surprise everyone and do something smart. Like having my boys. Maybe not the right time to have them but it was smart of me to have them. They are very smart so they had to get some of that from me. Anyhow, my insides don't feel to good this morning and I think maybe I go camp out in the bathroom so I don't have to keep doing the up and down so much till things quiet down. I just don't want to wake up my nephew and his girlfriend. (Who by the way is an absolute sweety compared to his ex-wife ((When did he get old enough to get married?)) who was a nightmare) I wouldn't want someone waking me up every 10-15 minutes flushing but I don't want to not flush in case one of them gets up. So I'm going to sit here, watch TV (Yeah) and wait for my insides to calm down then I'm going to go to Wal-Mart when it starts getting real hot. It's supposed to be hot and I mean real hot the next couple of days and even though I don't mind the heat I draw the line at anything over 80-85 and if it's humid then I really don't do well. My nephew said he's going to put the AC in later today so if it does get hot then I won't mind it to much if I'm in the AC. Let's see how the rest of the day goes.

My nephew lives near an Amish community so yesterday after I got here, last night and this morning I've been hearing the buggies go by. I was surprised that I heard them as late as I did last night but not surprised I heard them as early as I did this morning. I may take a ride and see if I can find an Amish restaurant and store to see about getting some stuff to take home.

I can't wait to get home. Wednesday won't come fast enough.
