ive been spending a lot of time on here lately. there really isnt much else for me to do. im home alone during the week. my work day doesnt start til 1:30-2:30ish. i really just done have much to occupy my time.

lately, i cant sleep, so im frustrated and cranky real easy. i think its this heat. we dont have AC, so its sticky and the air is thick. i sleep in little 20 minute intervals. which means i dont sleep at all.

im watching these kids every day now. not a big deal. its nice to be around them. sometimes they are hellions and they drive me nuts. other times, they are perfect angels. ephram told me yesterday that i made " a very nice dinner", and actively gave me a hug before i left. up to this point, he has been stand offish with me and wont talk unless i talk to him first. its nice to know that im getting on their good sides. the little one loves me as much as always. he smiles every time he sees me and wants a hug.

mike is now trying to find someone to rent out the extra rooms to. so far, no one is biting for the price he wants, which is half the expense of the rent and bills. although we are renting out a room, they would be sharing the whole house, which is huge. but the pictures cant show that, so all they see is a small room and a bathroom for 700 a month. in this area, people are not really going for that high. they want 500 or under, which is literally a s**t hole of a place. somewhere you are embaraessed to bring your family/girlfriend to because its in such bad condition. but this house is beautiful and remodeled. unfortunately, we are going to have to lower the price if we are going to get anyone in here. we have friends that are very interested in coming, but they are stuck where they are until October, possbily January, which is a long time from now, so it doesnt really help us out at all. i dont know what we are going to do, but at this point, we are not going to be able to move out. landlord said before that if we were planning on leaving, he wanted us out by the end of July, which is only a month away. and we dont have anywhere else lined up. i suppose miracles happen, but i dont want to get stuck taking some s**t hole place like i lived in before.

i have to go get ready to leave. i suppose ill write more in another 3 months, since that is my running pattern it seems.
