I can't imagine what it is like to be unemployed and have nothing to do. I know that Ty is miserable, but there's nothing I can do about it. It makes me feel pretty fucking helpless, really. I mean, there's nothing I can say that will make him feel better. Ever. It makes me sad and question a lot of things. I think June will be his month though. I'm almost to the point that I'm willing to go to church just to maybe The Big Guy will have pity upon us and send Ty a job. That's saying a lot since I'm not exactly a church goer.

Yesterday my best friend and I went out for the day. It was good to get away from the apartment for a while. Daina's getting married in October 2011, so we went to look at dresses for her. She already found "the dress" and it is absolutely gorgeous. A wonderful friend deserves a wonderful dress, so I'm glad she found just that.

My parents are coming to town today. I think we're going to Lake Lurleen today. I've never been there, but I'm looking forward to spending some time outside. Maybe I'll roll up my sleeves and try to get an even tan on my arms.

Tyler and I have begun reading Infinite Jest. I picked a fine time to begin a 1,076 page book. I start Shakespeare next week. Maybe I can juggle both. I'm also going to read The Red Badge of Courage, The Scarlet Letter, and anything else I think my 10th graders can tackle. I really want to find some different things for them to read. I should probably check with the school and make sure it's alright.

Well, the parents should be here any moment. Wish me luck. And if you're reading this and you're a praying person, pray for Tyler to get a job.
