Well… whenever I get so bummed I feel like I don’t know where I am going to go, Maya and Kai make me happy.  I picked up Maya from school and she was in a good mood cause she hasn’t seen me in a week.  Then we picked up kai early, and kai was super silly saying funny things.   He was screaming…. FRUIT SALAD, I WANT FRUIT SALAD, and then I am standing opposite the counter from him and he says “I like your outfit” and I didn’t hear him, and hes like I like your outfit.  Then,  I’m like why cause of my hat?  And he says “no, I just like your outfit”  How very insightful.

Then we are outside and Maya is talking about hylton.  I dont have the heart to tellher we broke up, and then i’d have to explain it… nah.  So shes like “im gonna call him hylton  hotel, that will be his nickname…. I said I wish that he owned the hotels and she asked why and I said I’d have lots of money.

Maya: It wouldn’t be your Money

Shaina: No, I guess not

Maya: Unless you get married to Hylton.

Shaina: That’s true

Maya:  Which you probably wont because you are only 23 and you’ll probably marry some other guy

Shaina:  Who knows?

Maya:  We’ll that’s not true cause my mom and Dad met when they were like your age.

Shaina: Yeah……

What an interesting conversation with Maya…. good timing.

Anyway, I love their family.  Im seeing a concert Maya is in tomorrow.. Yay, Rand Elementary School Spring Concert!

 

Well… it has been a confusing few weeks.  I know no one reads these, so I write for myself.  I even said that for myself.

I am upset that John Edwards supports Obama.   I can;t admit it yet, but Hillary has a lot less chance to win.  And that bothers me a lot cause I am from Florida and I voted there, I don’t count is basically what they are saying. 

My back has been hurting because of my Englishtown job.  I always feel achy. 

I need to exercise more and do yoga.

Everyday things are a little more clear, but sometimes I wake up thinking about the issues that are running through my head.  It is difficult.

I have a headache and haven’t had my period yet, I think it is coming, but this is the first time I have been off birthcontrol for 5 years so I think that maybe my body is confused.  There’s a part of me that wants to go back on because i want that reassurance.
