NaBloPoMo day 6: Damn, my life is dull
Even when it's full, my life is kind of dull. Maybe it would be better to say that I don't have the gift to turn dull everyday events into scintillating prose. And when I'm pooped, I don't really have the motication to try.
We got back from Dallas about 10 last night. It was a long day, even longer for the kids, who spent way more hours in the car than was fair. It left them cranky and bitchy today, but also bought me some unexpected nappage. If they hadn't tag teamed their naps, I probably would have laid down myself.
Dallas is...different. Amazingly, I think it's flatter than Houston. The trees are scrubbier, the ground looks like rocks mixed with smaller rocks, limestone I assume, by it whiteness. It feels different in other ways than I can't quite quantify or describe.
House hunting is also difficult. There aren't a lot of houses for rent, and the ones we saw weren't right. It doesn't help that I don't want to leave the house we're in now. Having seen what we've seen, we're looking into apartments for a shorter term solution.
I'm sure this all sounds very wishy-washy, poorly planned, counter-productive. And it is.
