tired

A long drive
I left the house this morning @ 9am.. and at 4pm I arrived in Plainview, Texas. A long and boring drive. It's a holiday... MLK day.... but I didn't remember when I set up this trip. I'll take Friday off instead.

I had too much time to think...

I have two political comments today. First... it's about Michael Jackson, I heard this morning that 75% of whites (polled) think that he is guilty and in the same poll 75% of blacks think he is innocent. I guess it was the same for OJ and will probably be for Kobe. Is it a black and white issue? I don't think so.. it is unfair that I hear some people from the Nation of Islam say that it is a prejudice issue. REally??? Well, when was the last time that you saw a poll for a white defendant. I mean, is there a poll out there to find out how many whites and blacks think that Martha Stewart is guilty? I don't know... it just bugs me... that someone would think that I am racist because I just have a feeling that Jacko probably is guilty based on what has happened in the past and what he says in his interviews. Don't all child molesters say they love children and have warped beliefs about adult and child relationships? If you have children, when would you ever let your son sleep in a bed with any other adult man? And.... when was the last time a little girl slept in Michael's bed? Why is it just little boys? Ok enought about that.

Of course, I heard all about the Iowa caucus, from conservative talk show hosts... One being Rush Limbaugh...How can anybody listen to that guy? He calls all the democrats morons... all of them. He constantly bashes Howard Dean. Why? what is he afraid of? I know that it really is just entertainment... but some people take this guy seriously.

I of course thought of my boys... and what was going to happen. I spoke to my sister. She told me that she couldn't sleep after she heard about what happened when I went to visit him at school. I have called the boys, with now answer... over and over. I worry that Alex was really really hurt in some way by his being caught with the letters to me. He had to shut me out... because he needs to survive in that evil house. How do I tell the judge about this?

I am tired... it was a long long drive... to the middle of nowhere Texas... only a couple of days here.. I'll sleep early tonight.. I hope.. and then I'll start making my way back home on Wed.. I'll make it home on Thursday afternoon. M and I have really spent some time on the house. We got a new dining room set, a new light fixture.. some new lamps, and we are going to get a new rug. It was a nice weekend... the house is really looking nice.
