day in a life

I have been very busy since school started. Books and essays and all sorts of reading being done. My son is very happy in school and tomorrow I'll go and hear how things are going and what they are doing. He is so good at reading and has so much fun sitting in his room trying to read difficult books. I love listening to him spelling out the names of dinosaurs.

By now I have read Saint Augustine confessions, Rousseau's confessions, All Quiet on the western front and just finished the Wars. Starting John Stuart Mill's autobiography now. Two weeks in and I feel like I read 24/7.

My brother is living with us now and probably will for a while. It's good but today he went to school and will be home late and my son is with his dad and I am soooo enjoying being alone. I love being alone and I enjoyed taking a long bath with my book. Sometimes when my son was with his dad I hardly talked to another person the whole weekend. I liked that, it was nice getting a day like that.

On Friday night I went to dinner at a restaurant with my brothers and a cousin. It was nice my cousins boyfriend was singing at a bar after it and my and my brother went with them to see. We spent about two hours at the bar and after about five minuets there I wanted to go home. I started plucking the nail polish of my nails until it was all gone cause I didn't have a way out of there. I hate public places and bars are disgusting. I think after that I really needed a day in peace like today.

My son left to see his dad on Friday and I'll see him when I pick him up from school tomorrow. I miss him when he's away but I think t's kinda worse now cause on Friday he told me how he prefers to be with me and some stuff like that. I know he enjoys seeing his dad and his stepmom is wonderful, I think it's mainly her son that bugs him. He has some problems, he's autistic and I think he has a temper. My boy said that he doesn't want to play with his toys cause the boy breaks them or ruins what he is doing. I tell him that he is young and it will be better when he gets older but I don't know if it will. I know he has fun over there and he is always happy to leave with his dad and happy to come home. I just feel bad because he said this. I will be very happy when I pick him up tomorrow.

Anyways, I should go to bed and read a bit before sleep comes to take me away.
