Time certainly seems slower now

msmoonAway from the depressing stuff...Today I got up a little earlier than usual. I had left a little note and Mom’s birthday present on the table where she would find it. Evidently she liked it, because she taped it to the refrigerator. But she’d gone off to a funeral or wake or something, so she wasn’t home. Today is her 55th birthday…or as we all like to politely refer to it, the 5th anniversary of her 50th birthday. Dad was outside mowing the lawn with Uncle C’s push mower. Ours has been broken for a while. The belts on it keep breaking. So, I made him a glass of tea, which he was very grateful for. He took a little break and sat out on the porch with me for a while. Then I came back inside, and fooled around on the computer.
Mom came home and we headed to town after putting some laundry on. Have you ever noticed the phrase ‘ran to town’ ? Everyone down here uses it...it’s the most ridiculous saying in the world...you never ‘run’ to town...Unless you’re Forest Gump.
But anyway. We went to the bank, and we went to Wal Mart, and then Rouses, then to State Farm. Mom and Dad got into a bit of a fight...but I don’t think Dad realized it at all. After paying the bills and all, Mom’s always left worrying over how much she has left and if it’s enough. Now, she only has $148 to live off of for 3 weeks. That worries her. But Dad seems to think it shouldn’t, and so when she says anything about it he yells that she should be able to live off of that much. She says he doesn’t seem to realize that sometimes stuff happens and it would be convenient if we did have extra. /shrug. Oh well.
We got home, and Mom had said that they were asking for pillows and bedding material for the refugees from New Orleans. They were sleeping on bare floors with no pillows or blankets etc. ...And I know I can’t do much of anything very well...but I do know a thing or two about making pillows. And I did have some fabric left over from some I’d bought. So we started cutting the material and getting thread and such...but Mom thought it’d be really cool if we used this miniature sewing machine she’d bought. But we couldn’t figure out how to work the thing. So we went to Aunt Batty’s, ‘cause she knows so much about sewing and such. But she said the machine wasn’t worth anything. So we decided to sew it by hand. Aunt Batty gave us a lot of pillows and blankets to bring when we gave the pillows to the civic center.
I found out that Mom doesn’t really know how to sew. At least not the stitch you use for pillows. Her stitching shows terribly and it leaves holes sometimes. So, after I’d sewed my pillow, Dad started stuffing up my pillow. Then I sewed up my pillow up, and we had to work on Mom’s pillow.
Now we’re all happily watching Forest Gump. Dad and I are trying to correct Mom’s stitching. That’s all that there has been today, I guess. Forest Gump’s an interesting movie...to be sure. But I can’t wait till I can get a job...then I can buy myself Thundercats on DVD and watch it.../sigh till then, I shall dare to dream. Goodnight everyone.
