listen to your heart

I spent a whole hour getting ready for an engagement party on the Eastern Shore. An entire hour. . . I even wore make-up!!! Only to find out that my nephew is in town from Chicago and leaving on Monday. So screw it; I'm staying home tonight. . . again. Family comes first, and I'm too damn lazy to drive 2 hours there and another 2 back. Not to mention the fact that I spent $45.45 filling up the gas tank yesterday and without a job, that's quite a bit of money to spend.

I suppose I shouldn't complain. I have 2 homes to go to, family and friends that love me, and I'm happy overall. Poor people hurt by Katrina. . . it really saddens me and frustrates me to feel so helpless about it all. Ugh, thinking about it makes me too depressed. I'm going to take the kids out for some ice cream and be happy again. Mmm...... ice cream.

Happy Labor Day Weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's hoping you're with your loved ones and happy!
