My husband (Tom) left today...my daughter is now fatherless
Friday was my party, and it was a good time. I was glad to see everyone, but I kinda had a cloud hanging over my head the entire time. Tom never came, and it just ruined my night. I never got to really say good-bye to him, and it has depressed me terribly. I'm going to miss him a lot. It still doesn't seem right that we're not going to have lockers next to each other this year. Sigh.
Chris is already moved into school, which seems weird. I mean, he's got the computer hooked up and his away message on already in West Lafayette. The weirdness can now begin.
I went to the Jamboree with Kim and my family on Saturday. The girls scored, which was something that didn't happen so early in last year's season. They ended up tying. I'm going to watch Holly and Amber play for the first time in 2 years (concussion and ACL tear respectively) on Thursday and then go to the GC game on Monday. Maybe they'll get a win before I leave for school. That would be good.
Today I didn't feel up to Bridge. I was tired and still upset that I didn't get to talk to Tom or see him yesterday, so I came home, laid out for about an hour, and then settled in. I think I've had the Olympics on for like, 7 and a half hours now. Is that bad? Think about it though: it's like Christmas for me. Sports...all the time! And not the same ones! I love it. I'm in heaven.
Tomorrow is my dad's first day of school. I'm not sure he's completely ready for it. I think his class is supposed to be better than usual this year, but I just don't think he's in the mood to go back to school.
My sister goes back on Tuesday, and since it's my birthday (I'm crying silently), I'm taking her to school at like, 6:30 in the morning so that I can keep the car for the day. Plus I have to pick her up so that we can go to the dentist. Doesn't that sound like fun? Oh wait...no.
Then the Ball State kids leave on the 18th, so then I'll basically be alone here for a week, which is okay. Susan is going to try and get hold of our suite-mates tomorrow so that we can freaking furnish the rest of the living room/kitchen. We really need to get hold of them. And I still need to get one more book.
But anyway, that's all for now. I can't believe Tom's gone. It's so sad.
Love Always,
Alison
