Dear Diary,

Dear STACY,

Something may be distracting a close friend or love partner, STACY, so much so that he isn't likely to be very good company. Nor will your friend be likely to share what's on his mind. Don't try to induce him to talk about it if he doesn't feel like it. This might just cause him to be upset with you. Back off and let him come to terms with it in his own time. Sometimes that's the only way.

My goodness! Its been forever since I've been around in here and I truely, sincerely appolpgize. The last two weeks have been extremely crazy and I havn't had much time to myself to do much at all! All last week from Tuesday until Friday I guess you could say that I was considered "mom" to two young children down the street from me. Their parents went away for the week to the U.S. and asked if I would be willing to be fully in charge of them until the weekend when their grand parents and aunt could take care of them. I was staying over at nights in their home, getting the kids up in the morning and ready for school, taking them to school, picking them up, doing homework with them, making dinner, doing dishes...everything! The oldest one got sick as well so I had to do all taking care of her for that as well. Its been crazy! I believe that their parents get back today though and then hopefully I will get paid so I can go out and get a new winter coat that I desperately need! This week now I got a part time job (it was suppost to be full time but things got screwed up like the usually do) babysitting for this family that just moved here on August 2nd from Egypt! They don't speek much english and I'm sure that if I'm only working part time for them that it won't last long but until I can find something else, thats where I will be each day from 3:00pm until 5:00pm. Its not the best, but its something. A little income is better then none I guess. Other then that, Greg and I got together this weekend and I stayed the night at his place on Saturday. :) Of course that makes me happy. Now that mom and dad aren't complaining either which is a totall relief! The weather has been getting colder and colder here and we are expected to get a bit of snow on Thursday but we'll see. Its raining today and kinda blah outside. Perhaps it will be a bit nicer laster on this afternoon. Tarry and I are working on a spare room in his house. We're making it our little project and trying to fix everything up! Its a big big big mess though and I know its going to take a while. We're coming along with it though and hopefully it will look nice when its all done. I can't wait to see it then. I'll have to take before and after pictures of everything we have done. Pretty much everything at home is the same. Not a whole lot to really comment on or write about today. I feel bad though that I havn't been updating this diary more frequently and being steady with it but these last two weeks have been crazy and I've just been going in circles trying to get everything that needs to be done, actually done. Not to mention that I've been trying to keep up to date with my online course. I just finished module 4 yesterday and got all level 4's back from my teacher today! I'm so thrilled and excited. I thought that I would do horribly on that one but it turned out to be just wonderful! Well, I should be on my way. I really hope everyone is doing good and still reading. Sorry again for being so far behind! Love you all. Take care everyone.

*love always stacy*
