... I'm baaaaaaaaack....

... but it's going to be quick because I must study for Spanish!

I am not as close with my brother or sister-in-law as I once was, or as I wish I could be. And sometimes that sucks because it'd be nice to have their support or advice every now and then, but I'm a big girl. I rarely get texts from them, unless they need or want something from me... which I have come to deal with. Regardless, I love them both. I love their children even more, and they know that - I don't hide that fact (from anyone). People come to visit - I show off the latest pictures of my boys...

Anyway today I get a text from my sister-in-law...
D: When are you going to be home next?
A: Well tomorrow or the next day, but it will just be brief. I need to get some stuff from mom's. Why?
D: Just wondering Austin was upset last night because he never gets to see you.

That broke my heart and made my day all at once! Austin and I used to have Austin and Aunty dates on a weekly basis, he became my side kick. I was going to sporting events, and he'd come with me as my 'assistant' and tell me what I 'needed to write'. We'd go bowling or swimming, or to movies, wander Walmart, play at a park or just read books.

So I told Dana to get Austin to pick a Friday, and we'd have a date. He picked the earliest Friday he could, and now we have a date! I promised to take him to a movie (if it's kid appropriate) and bowling! With DQ in there of course, because we always fit our ice cream and fries in there.

So yes, things are picking up and looking a bit brighter. I am trying to work on my grades, and put more work and effort into things. I need to do well this semester, I am still considering transfering to the U of A. They have much more to offer for my minor than RDC does. And I checked into res. and their four bedroom apartment style dorms are only $406 a month... tuition would be more, but rent would be less... and chances are I could find a better paying job!!! I just need my RRSP money to submit my applications for both the University and Res. And find a way to break it to Andrea.... she might kill me. I would kill me if I were her.

I still have a queasy stomach... but nothing bad, I stopped puking Sunday so the worst of the flu has left I guess. Hasn't stopped me from going to school!!!

Ok but now - back to Spanish!! Me gusta estudiar... not!!!
