Well last night what kept me up was, how much I allowance I will pay my children when I have them! Should they even get an allowance, I mean they get paid by food and everything else I buy to support them, should doing some chores be just something they should have to do?! But then maybe giving them some money to pay them for the work they have done may also be a good option, teach them how to be responsible with their money, and to save it for things that they want instead on spending it all on candy or something! So I pretty much decided that they would get payment for the work they have done, but how much should they get? After thinking for a bit I decided that however old they are is how much they would get per day(a five year old gets five dollars per day), and as they grew older their chores would also increase. So then I decided that they would get a raise at the end of every month instead of every year. This is where it gets tricky, I don’t know about you, but I still don’t know my multiplication!! So I said figured out that it has to be like 8 cents a month, but couldn’t remember what 8x12 is, so I guess I’ll just do 8 cents a month and on the 12th month they get a little bigger raise to meet the difference! Anyways, ya that’s the sort of thing that keeps me awake at night for hours on end! Like this if you want me to keep writing about my nightly thoughts!! -Houston Written on my phone, please excuse my typos!

Saturdays a have been bad days for me for a while now. For some reason I always wake up with that bad depressed feeling in my stomach. When I wake up I just lay here in bed trying to keep my eyes closed, hoping I’ll just fall back asleep, I roll around a little bit, maybe shed a tear without actually crying, and never usually find a way back to sleep. Open my eyes, grab my phone, begin going through SMS tweets, and texts. And some days, like today, there is a text that just makes my day even worse. I get that terrible feeling back in my stomach, set my phone down, roll back against my wall, and just pretty much fell like crying, but can’t remember how. I don’t write in a journal but they say writing your feelings down can help release them or whatever. Maybe I will start doing this more often. Hope it’s not annoying. -Houston PS - I wrote this on my phone so excuse any mistakes!!
