| March 17,2003 Happy Saint Patrick's Day. Just occured to me that I haven't had any interesting dreams the past couple of nights. Then again I haven't been getting enough sleep so that could have something to do with it. I'm suprised to report that today I was asked, by my math teacher, to be a tutor. I've going to be payed and everything. Who would have thought miss self-proclaimed math idiot would be actually tutoring other people? Tiny just started barking rather shrilly. It is the most startling, hair-raising noise and it is shockingly irritating even to seemingly unirritable people. Remember how I washed my car yesterday? First day and my Mom goes shopping in it (I didn't even take it to school..then again I rarely do) and splashes through major puddles..needless to say the whole thing is icky again, worse than it was before. I wanted to have it nice for my aunt who arrives Wenesday. My Mom was very kind and hosed it off but I noticed this evening while taking the garbage out that it is pretty grimy. Oh well. I'm not washing it twice in two days. Too many other things to do which are more important. That will be driving me crazy until I break down and do it again though. I'm kind of negative tonight. Complaining about my dog. Complaining about my car. These are hardly things to whine about..especially right now..when we are about to go to war. Now the people of Iraq have something to complain about..my dog barking is definitely not a "problem." Always nice to find a bit of perspective, eh? I'm tired. If you read my journal with any regularity you will notice the dominant pattern is my sleepiness. Last week it was really bad because I was working late at night and not getting home until after midnight (on..gasp...school nights!) But my excuse this week is that, in order to make up for my lack of productivity LAST week I am staying up really late reading and doing things that should have been done in a timely fashion..during daylight hours in other words. The pattern will repeat itself tonight and probably tomorrow night as well. Heck it will probably go on until Spring Break...heavenly, long awaited Spring Break. Somebody upstairs must have heard me mention thunder (overlooking the fact that this is a one story house) because I just heard some which sounded not too far out on the ocean...could we be in for another spooky night? Hopefully! I wonder if the majority of people believe in uncondition love and/or think it is necessary to love their parents/siblings et cetera just BECAUSE. Today in class I was suprised to find total opposition to my theory that we do not pick our family therefore have no obligation to love them. Granted if your mother raises you with kindness and devotion it is sad that you do not love her but to love her "just because" is not really love at all. I always thought this was kind of a universal opinion. Me and my assumptions. Last night the weather provided wonderful dramatics as we wound up in the middle of a raging, intense thunder/rain storm.
