I kept waking up last night, think I woke up a total of 4 times I think, I kept thinking that I overslept, so I would wake in a sort of panic, only to check my watch and realize that I had a lot more time and that I could sleep a bit more. This did tire me out though, and as a consequence, I did oversleep! I woke up at 610 when I should have been up by 550.

I treat her more like an younger sister than a mother, but she's one remarkable lady, and I have a lot to learn from her. Yes she's sometimes annoying, but most mom's /younger sisters are.

As my dad was feeling sick, and my mom was tired, it was left to me, the dutiful son, to be the tour guide on a cloudy evening, when the moon shimmered behind a translucent curtain.The mist rising from the trees, and the use of oil filled torches, lent everything an ethereal cast, such that, even with all the microphones, and the khakis, Iarpanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06804271813064516718noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6118993.post-1121645375805413262005-07-17T17:07:00.000-07:002005-07-17T17:09:35.810-07:00Den Teufel innen zerstörenSometimes, in the quiet moments in the night, or just before waking, I realize my flaws, and see my weaknesses.
