   Almost there.... glad for the weekend to be here. It has been beautiful weather all week but the weekend is supposed to drop down again. I don't know. Maybe it's for the best. The flowers will have more time to take before they have to deal with the heat. I'm just done with the cold though.
   It's my weekend without the girl so I'm sure I'll be spending it with drama and stress but what I'm hoping for is some peace and quiet and maybe a nap at some point. I might read something or color more. One can dream but it always leaves me even more angry that things aren't going as planned. I do miss having my own house. When I had my own house I always knew what was going on and when it would end or begin.  now... chaos...
   You may have noticed, everything at home is the same kids are all still living in our basement playing video games. Tayson is the only one saving to get his own place. I feel as though maybe I should ban video games in my home. ha ha it would be like telling them they can't breathe ha ha. (to them I mean)
   I'm glad I was a kid when we played outside and built club houses all over the place. We didn't have phones to track us we just came home when the lights came on.  I remember playing war with the neighborhood kids til well past the time most of the neighborhood had turned in. Those were the days. Now they have play dates.
    In my later teen years I did have pacman and mrs. pacman. My brother and I would play one player and when I got tired I passed to him then he passed to me and so forth. We could play for hours.  Even then we preferred to meet our friends and go hang out somewhere. There was usually something better to do than video games.
