I went to take Jay to school this A.M. and had the first PT conference of the year. She made a 97 out of 100 on her BRIGANCE test. This test measures a childs ability to function in school, so I guess she functions well. Isaiah's PT thing was last week and they said he was in the highest reading and math classes. He is scoring Mastery in all his work. I am so proud of them. They are really smart and I did that all by myself (ok with a little help from them but mostly me).
Well this weekend I am going to give each of them $10 and let them go pick out a toy that they want. They have definately earned it. |

Shew I have been busy!!!I got to go get Jay in about an hour and I didn't get anything done yet again. I got the look of some of my work done up but any of the work to go with it done? Nope NuhHuh. Just being a lazy ass. I hate it when I do that but I am just not feeling it today. I want to get as much done as possible but I am not sleeping at night.
One of the things I did get done was to smoke myself stupid. I have smoked almost a whole pack of cigs today... so much for cutting back. I want to quit but I am not sure how to do it. Help someone!!!

So I got the kids ready for halloween. Jamen is going as a Boobah and Sai is going as a cop. Of course I have to do it all alone because of the fact that everybody else will be gone. I think it will be good but I bet I will be exhausted by the time it is over with.
Usually I am really excited this time of the year. I know it is getting to be close to Christmas, which is my favorite. But this year it is just taking way too much effort. I do not have the money to get the kids the toys they want. I do not have the money for costumes. I have no money for Thanksgiving dinner. If anyone wants to donate to some poor people I would really appreciate it!!!

I am so passing my classes. I did my average check on my classes this morning and I am making B averages in each of them!!

The bad news:
I bombed so bad on the midterms.

I really thought I had done a good job but I guess I didn't study enough. I kinda did the "Whatever. I'll Pass" thing...Boy was I wrong!
And while I am ranting on and on:
D came by and said "S'up" to me. FOr you who don't know K&D speak that means "What ya wanna do? Be friends? More than friend? What?"
Well not this girl. I say "Nothing with you!" and (pat on back) go far away from him.
He is going to jail this Friday and he wants some from me....oh well! He better go look elsewhere, not this girl, not this time.

This is the pic someone made for me!!! Kinda cool...
Anyways this is the kind of things that I have had going on in my life. I am so bored without the kids home during the day that I am looking for things to do. I just want to do SOMETHING!!! I do nothing for like 10-16 hours a day. The kids are not here for me to keep busy with. Don't have a guy here and Guage...well she sleeps so much that I just feel like I am all alone all the time. I was spending time with Angel but she is so sleepy now that she is closer to having the baby that I just dunno what to do. I can not believe there are so many new kids around. I am the only one not having a new baby. Gauge's mom found out she is having another in April. (And she says she is naming it Nirvana Rae) We will have a Nirvana Rae and Gauge Legend!!! What a retard!

This is what I managed to tell the Idiot this week. I am sick of having to be "the responsible one" all the time while he gets to be the one the kids want to be with. So instead I managed to tell him until he is ready to parent like I do then he can keep his fuckin ass on the other side of the country where he manages to escape to once every few months anyways. I mean really if you can't help then why come around. Why call to say I can't call you? Why send me a letter to say you can't pay your child suport? Why come by if it is going to be too late at night to see them anyways? GET A LIFE!!!

Well in that case I will pat myself on the back and say good job to myself.

Yep this is exactly how I feel today. I do not know how my day "off" always ends up being another day with too much to do but it does. And I dunno if I like it anymore. I want one day with not a lot to do. But that isn't today. The kids are still with B&L so I guess I can get some homework done, but the problem is that I don't wanna do it right now. I want to be just absolutely lazy. I wanna lay down and watch a movie or something. I still have to wash dishes too since Mellie is coming for dinner. Ugggg!

This has been one of the longest few days of my life. I am sure I am close to losing my mind. The car breaking down and the kids being absolutely crazy and the rest of the mess. I am just not sure what to do. And to beat it all I am in love with someone and can't do anything to see them or touch them or even speak to them. How is this possible? What do I do?
I have had one of the worst toothaches for the last few days. I have tried everything to make it go away and nothing is working.
I am so tired. I have been up since about 4 because of the toothache and I have got like three hours a day for the last few days.
I am just cranky!!!!!

I am sick of bedtimes. I wish I could just let them stay up all night and then they would sleep when they want to and that the whole world could all be just one big game. But it isn't like that and I have to pay the price of sleepy-time. They have big ole hissy fits and they cry and I want to pull my hair out because I just want five minutes of free time. Does that make me a bad mom? If it does I don't care because I need the five minutes. I mean I NEED IT!!!! The all day busy busy busy is enough to make a girl crazy and that is awful. I like being crazy but I also like being able to think without the "mommy mommy mommy" that I get every second of everyday!!! I am just so tired I guess and that tends to make me a little cranky to say the least. Well I guess it is off to the work that needs to be done. OMG it is already after 8 and nothing is done!!! I gotta get busy. I got to get it done before three a.m. or I won't get my needed three hours of sleep.
Would someone please give me a bedtime?

Ok a little bit of a lie....i ran across it because it was pointed out to me in one of my groups but I thought it would be cool to share. It is a live cam of African animals. I mean it is an ongoing cam that is always showing animals at this pond in Africa. It is kinda cool and my kids love it!

I try to find the humor in this life but little did I know the humor is outsmarting me and fast.
For example, this morning the brakes go out in my car. Well there was no warning whatsoever that this was going to happen. As I am coming down the hill I live on, All of a sudden there is this metal to metal sound and then some violent shaking and my van sure ain't stopping. The man in the car in front of me can tell what is going on by the look on his face but me....nope I am dumbfounded at the events that are happening. My baby girl says "Mom I think the van is broke and all I can think is "Ya think?" but instead I say "Yeah babe....I think so." LOL takes a three year old to point out the ever so obvious to me at times. Well my seven year old, having been the man of the house for a few years, says "Mom think we should call a guy to fix it?" Well I know I could do it but THANK GOODNESS for payday. Damn right we are gonna call a guy and then sweet talk until it fixed cheap!!!! Needless to say I love being a girl and I am so happy that I got the intelligence to know how to use that. Well it ends up can't get it fixed until tomorrow so I am grounded to my house for a day or two! LOL OUTSMARTED by life again!

The kids got back from Florida yesterday and I got an earful of information that I really didn't need. Isaiah
has had the most fun time filling me in on the goings on in the
sunshine state. Apparently Idiot is living with his girl who from this
day forth will be called Dumbass. She was nice enough to the kids but
she said she didn't understand why I didn't let the kids go to see him
more often. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I mean she has to be joking right?! Then
again maybe not, but I am sure she will find out soon enough. I am sure
this is another one of those girls that he will spend all of his time,
money and love on (forgetting about the kids completely) and then when
he is wrung dry, she will leave and he will be fucked because I will
through his sorry ass in jail for lack of child support. He is so far
behind now that I do not know how he will ever catch up to the point
things are suppose to be. Isaiah also said that Idiot and Dumbass
took him to the spring near his house. He let that baby go in the water
and by the time he got out his lips were blue and he couldn't warm up
until they put him in a bath. No wonder my kids are sick right now.
They were put in freezing water. And one last thing...apparently
B&L didn't like her because instead of staying the weekend, they
came home the next day!!! His own parents were too mad to spend time
with him on his b-day. I feel real bad for him. HAPPY BIRTHDAY
ASSHOLE!!!! Thanks for the debt and the most beautiful baby girl in the
world. I hope you are saved because you sure have a small chance of not
going to hell. If you don't I will make sure I make the rest of your
life so bad you will be praying for hell to get away from me.
(For those of you reading that don't know, this isn't jealousy. This is
anger at the fact that he left his kids "to make a better life for
them" and they haven't got shit from him. I dislike him with every
fiber of my being. I am the one who has to see the hurt in my kids
eyes. I am the one who kisses the boo-boos and I am the one who rocks
during the nightmares. I am the one who sells everything we own so the
kids can have shoes, while he is out paying for prostitutes. I am the
one who is always made to feel like I am not good enough because I
cannot buy them everything they want, when he gets to be the one they
want to be with because he is "fun" and I am tired of it. Let the truth
come out so my babies know what they can believe in.)

I
feel like the world is spinning faster than I am. I keep trying to play
catch up with myself, though I am making progress. I got my paper
handed in three days earlier than I thought I was going to. Even though
my midterms are due this week, I am not stressing it because once they
are done I know I will be on my vacation for a few days, with no
stressing over the school work.
I have begun to understand the inner workings of the friendship I am
surrounded with. The girls all know their boyfriend/husbands are
flirting with me. The guys all know the other ones are trying to get
in. The guy I am kinda seeing (though I can't stand him) is clueless to
it all. THe thing is we all walk around acting like nothing is going on
until one day, probably sooner than later, it will blow up all over
everyone and then none of us will be friends anymore. Wanna know the
funniest part? One of the girls (the closest one to being my best
friend) is also trying to get with me. Everyone is convinced we are
already together but it isn't like that. Yes, both of our children see
the other as a parent. Yes we spend AT LEAST ten to twelve hours
together. Yes, we are really close and super honest with each other.
Yes, we are almost like the same person. But the one thing the others
are forgetting is the fact that we are not swinging that way together.
We just aren't. We have a very good relationship as friends.

I
have watched everyone sleep while I wander the darkness all by myself.
I know they are innocent with their dreams and wishes coming to life
away from me. I know that that is the one place I cannot protect them.
That is the one place I become what they see me as and there is no way
I can change it for better or worse. I want to be a part of them in
everyway but I find that there are times when the only thing I can do
is to let go and let them do what they think is right. I do not know
when I went from the protecter of the universe to the one who may or
may not be there but it happened and I missed it. I love them but they
are no longer mine in the way they once were. They were the ones who
kept me sane but now they are driving me crazy. I cannot get inside
them. I cannot talk to them. I cannot be with them every minute of
everyday. I just want to go back to the people we once were and forget
the past. I don't think it will ever happen that way for any of us. I
think the only thing to do is to now become something new to them as
they have to me.

I
am trying to avoid doing these papers I know that need to be done. I
just do not feel the need to do them though I know I have to if I want
to get through this semester with passing grades. I just always wait
until the last minute and then they feel very rushed to me. I guess I
know what I am doing but I just get so sick of doing it these days. It
doesn't seem worht it when I could have got them done days ago and
right now I could be studying for my mid-terms instead. I know
that the best thing ot do right now is to try to get it done instead of
writing here but that is the part that makes it known that I am really
avoiding the whole process.

My
little sister asked me the funniest question this morning. She wants to
know my favorite season. I say spring. She says hers is fall. I asked
her why because for me the fall is when everything is dying and it is
so depressing to me. She says the fall colors are so amazing and that
it just gives her this alive feeling. She is 13 and at times I believe
she has a way better outlook on life than i ever had or ever will. I
mean she sees the beauty in everything.
I
raised that baby and now she is all grown and I am so impressed. She
never went through the mess in her life that I went through and I love
that about her. She doesn't always see the negative in life like I have
a tendancy to do. She can just take the fact she has a spelling test
that week and that will be the worst thing to happen to her. How great
is that?! I was worried about getting drunk and just a few years later
I was trying to raise my own son. She doesn't even want anything to
really do with guys (though she did say she had a crush on someone) so
maybe she will be the one to not have a baby before she is 16. Good God
I hope so. I would hate to see her in the same kind of life I have now
(not that my life is bad, mind you, just a big ass struggle). She is so
the opposite of me and I think I did that (or at least a good part of
it) so maybe I am not screwing up my kids so bad after all.

My
kid is such a good kid. I am so proud of him for doing so well in
school. They gave him a t-shirt and they also made a little poster for
him. I am so glad that he does all these great things when it is not
ever anything I have made him do. He is just like that all by himself.
I wish there was a way to make him know the extent of which I love him
and how proud I am of him. I never feel like I tell him enough or that
I do enough to show both of my kids how important they are to me. I am
wanting to show them but it is always like I don't know how. He is such
a good kid but I feel like if I don't show him or tell him enough he
will grow up insecure. I just want to be a good parent for them, both
of them.Be a good enough parent to make up for the missing idiot who
always runs away. What do I do to make it better...to make me better
for them?

i
do not even know where to begin. i am so sad at the fact that my life
is so completely out of control. things are messed up all over the
place. - my
best friend's husband is coming on to me. that is a bad bad thing. i
can't say anything because.... well i don't know i just can't.
- my
other friend (and my best friend's sister) just had a baby and her
boyfriend is doing the same thing. then i found out from a third source
that he has been trying to pick up on another girl too. his reason "i
ain't gettin none at home and won't be for weeks....gotta get it
somewhere." wtf
- i
got an e-mail from my mom. (and get this) my twin sister is pregnant
again with her fourth by the fourth guy in six years. my mom tells me
this through an e-mail six weeks after everyone else knows. and the
real kicker in the whole thing is that they live less than a half hour
away. they couldn't call or come by....something to tell me. no they do
it through a damn e-mail. i mean i was carried for nine months in a
tight little space. we were born seventeen minutes apart. i saved her
ass more times than i can count and have had my ass kicked quite a few
for her. before the state took us away i got more than my fair share of
beatings so she wouldn't have to. and i get a fucking e-mail!
- they
took my babies to florida for the weekend and i am so sad without them
here. the idiot turns twenty-five tomorrow so they took them to see
him. why do they always have to go to him? he is the one that left, not
us. i just don't get how we always have to pay for the choices he
makes. why does it always end up being him that has to "get his life
together?" why did he wait until after he had kids to decide to do
that? why is it always him who has to get on his feet before he help
them when they are going without so he can by prostitutes?
it
is definately enough to make a person sad i guess. i know it is
bitching and complaining but damn my feelings are hurt. i just want
things to get better and things to be right in my life again. i want to
be happy. i want to sleep for so long it is all gone away when i awake.
i want to not breath because it is taking too much effort to do it. oh
damn i don't know anymore. i want to not be sick. i want to not be sad.
i want to not feel invisible. i want to not be lonely anymore.

I
finally finished the work that needed to be done for mt psych class...
well all except for the three page paper but that will get done. I am
sure of it. I know that lately I have let myself fall behind but that
is only because.... well I am not even going to bother making excuses.
I just have and I am really not sure of the reason. It has just
happened that way. I have three papers due by Sunday but that is days
away and as long as I do a little at a time everyday it will get done.
(That is my own personal pep talk to myself so that maybe after saying
it enough I will believe it. It hasn't happened yet but hey who
knows.... it may happen some day, right?) Anyways the focus of our
study for the last two weeks have been on sleep, dreams, consciousness
and the effect of drugs on the levels of consciousness. It is a
lot more interesting than the last secton which was just about the
chemicals in the brain. I just like the interesting stuff but I know we
have to learn the boring to make it worth it.

So here is the thing that is going on with someone and I am not sure what the right advice is for them.
The boyfriend (we will call him G) worked the day shift which actually
meant being gone eleven hours a day. The girlfriend (M) didn't
work. She has emotional and mental problems. She can't sleep so she
would be up from the time he got up in the a.m. until hours after he
goes to bed every night. Well G decideds to go to the night shift which
puts him out of the house from 3:30 until about 3:30. When he gets
home, he showers and goes right to bed. Ok so here is the point of the
story, when he worked days she saw him tow hours a day and then he was
spending time with the kids. (Not that that was a bad thing) By the
time she got the kids in bed, he was asleep too. Now that he works
nights, he doesn't see the kids at all, he doesn't see her cause he
sleeps until an hour before he goes to work, and he comes home and goes
right back to bed so no one sees him then either. She is begining to
fell like it is just a place for him to sleep and she doesn't really
believe that is a "relationship" but a roommate. The worse part about
it is that even though he has Friday through Monday night off, it seems
like they are at a loss for what to say to each other or even how to be
in the same room at those times.
Both of them seem to be unhappy to be in the situation and maybe even
the relationship but the problem is they just walk around smiling at
each other. Now her, I know for a fact, is screaming on the inside to
break free of the pattern even if it means ending this forever long
relationship. She is tired of just being there but not being with
anyone. I think he feels the same but is scared to let go. But the
whole thing hit home when a friend said (when he was working days) how
lonely it was when she was up at 2 a.m. all alone and she didn't even
think about it and says that it is lonely all the time. He never so
much as acknowledges the meaning and goes on to ask the friend how her
husband is doing. Now at the time we all thought he didn't want to
bring it up at the time but later when they are alone he never mentions
it and sure hasn't tried to do anything to fix it.
But wait wait .... there is more to the story......
She also tried to hold the family together for the last 9 months all by
himself, even through his comments (such as "It is my life I will do
what I want" or "I am a grown ass man" but then calls her when he goes
to jail and yells at her when she can't come up with the $2000 to bail
him out) but he never gave a damn except to yell at her and belittle
her. Then she finally gives up and he decides to it is important to try
and make it work. But then he tries for a few days and goes right back
to the same shit. SO now what does she do? Does she stay? Does she go?
Does she try again but from a different homes for right now? What, oh
what, to do?

Ok so I need to run out the door but just in case a certain someone tries to look at the last post I wanted to say... If you don't want to know the truth stay out of my head. I never invited you in but I never told you to stay out either. I let it be your choice but you have to know the cost. If you want to be in here than you have to not judge. If you want to know about the things I am thinking just ask but if you need to sneak to see than the problem is you not me. I am here to just be me without your accusing eyes. I am sorry if you don't like, I undertand why. But I didn't ask you to judge me or even understand. I asked you for once grow up and be a man.

So
here is one of the best guys I know and it makes me sad he is in
a relationship but there is nothing I can do about it. He has like 4
kids and that is just too much stress for me I believe. I mean that
would be like 6 kids!!!! Could you imagine the stress from that? He has
full custody of all of them so they would be full time kids too. WOW I
know I couldn't handle it at all but it is nice to dream.

I was due to hand in two papers by
midnight on Sunday and lucky for me I got them both in on time (well
almost on time). I didn't even start on them until Sunday and the
second on I didn't even start until about 11 that night and it was the
longest (700 words). I got it in by 12:30 so maybe I will still make a
good enough grade on it to pass the class. I have to now that I dropped
the math class. It is almost midterm and then fall break! I
cannot wait until flal break, due to the fact that I need a break so
bad I cannot stand it. Midterms are going to be hard to do but as
always that is when my grades start going up and I start really getting
in the swing of things. I just have such a hard time in the begining
trying to get all the things down and making sure I get all the work
done when I am suppose to. I don't know why it is so hard this
semester. I used to love it all last semester but this time around it
is just like I don't feel like doing any of it. Well I need to go start on this weeks stuff.

So
Saturday night I went to a birthday party for a friend of ours Cameron.
It was crazy and everyone was way too drunk. The kids spent the night
at a friends house so I could go but the majority of the time I was
there I did homework. I ended up the only sober one and was tired so I
lay down to go to sleep. I decided to sleep on the couch so as to keep
a better eye on everyone and also to kind of keep myself out of a bad
situation by being off in a room all by myself. Well just to say it
didn't help the bad situation. The DAD comes in and is rubbing on my
arm. If it hadn't been for another friend coming in, who knows what he
might have tried!!! I was a little freaked out after that and bailed
out less than an hour later. I know it was in part due to the amount of
drinking everyone had done but it was also something he has hinted at a
few times over the last few years of knowing him. I just am not sure
what to do about the situation except stay away from him, which at most
times I do to the best of my ability. But there are always going to be
times I am just stuck being around him. Then what? I just hate the
whole thing.

I
took the kids to the fair over the weekend. First let me say, anyone
who has taken kids to the fair, it can be one of the best experiences
of your life. They have the moments of pure joy and then pure terror
then joy again when getting on every ride. It was a great time and I
got some of the best outdoor pics of them. It was a great time had by
all. My son got to ride all the "big boy" rides which made him
extremely happy. My daughter got to ride on the rides for the first
time this year. She loved it but she did the funniest thing each time
she got on a ride. She would get on it by herself, get all settled in,
then look like pure terror as she couldn't find me. Once she found me,
she would be all smiles until she would go around a few times and
realized she couldn't find me. The terror would set back in until she
say me again and then she would forget about me again. We went through
the same thing on every ride. And the other good point of this is the
fact of it being her first year and she wanted to ride the big rides
too. Last year she wouldn't even ride the kiddy rides and this year she
wants to do all the rides that she can do and even some she wasn't
suppose to (luckily Mommy is a girl and most of the carnies are guys so
we got to slid on a few).
Another thing about the fair is it will rob you blind and you never
even know it. I dropped at least $100 on the stupid thing and never
even realized it!!! But in the long run it was worth it for the kids.
Of course my bills are definately suffering the consequences today.

I am
going to have to break up these thoughts into a few posts because of
the amount of stuff that has happened in the last few days. I am not
sure of where to even begin in the stuff. It is like wading in mud to
try to even find the place to begine. So I guess the best thing to do
would be to begin on friday. SO that is where I will begin the next
post...

http://colorquiz.com I got some of
the funniest results I have ever heard. I am going to have to post them
but I have to analyze them firstin order to make sense of them before I
share. Try it and see what it does for you. I hope it works better for
you than for me.

I always feel as if I am playing catch up
in my own life.People expect so muc hfrom me all the time I never have
the time to get my own things done. The land lord is made the yard is
not picked up "This is your last chance and then you guys have to go"
tell it to the rest of the family... I would love to move asap.I got to
go to columbia but that is less likely to happen due to the other shit
I have to go through.THen there is picking up the man at 10. And I
still have to make the trip to the burg today. Why is there so much to
do and not a damn bit of it getting done? I will just have to take as
much with me evrywhere I go and see what I get done then. Angel will be
mad at me but that is just the way it will have to do. I got to get the
shit done for me and for my family. I am sorry or everyone who gets
blown off and that having been said I got to do for me. I am just not
sure what the hell to tell everyone. Well I guess I need to get
the rest of my work done and go to get him now. I will write more later
when I get home. The homework is popping up around me and I have to ge
some control.

I went
yesterday and spent way too much money on my kids. I bought them a
bunch of new clothes, new shoes, the works. I bought wife beaters for
my son and he acted like that was the greatest thing he could ever
have! I mean when did my baby boy become a man? A man who likes
wife-beater shirts? Did I miss this stage in his developement because I
sure didn't find it in the mommy handbook. I checked and re-checked and
nowhere in the book does it say "a man you dated will haunt you through
the outfits of your child" or " one day your son will grow up to be a
thug." It just wasn't in there though I believe I am going to re-write
the book to include it. These surprises shouldn't just jump out at a
parent especially if the child is only 7.
My daughter, on the other hand, is
keeping her thug capabilities under wraps for right now. I think she is
going to wait a few years then spring it on me in the form of a
jail-bird boyfriend I may have to kill. Or maybe, just maybe, she will
swing a big left and miss the thugs altogether and end up with a nice,
young captain of the math club....now there is a mommy's dream come
true. Hmmmmm..... one can hope, right? There is only one request I make
of her....please be the first girl in our family to wait until you are
legal before you have a baby!!!! If she has learned nothing at all of
her mother I hope she has learned to see the struggle and know she
wants better.
How did I go from clothes to my
three year old having babies? Do you see how the mind of a loony works
now? No steady train of thought, though there are many trains of other
stuff that stay on the rails. Like the train of addiction: right on
track and on time everyday. Or the train of insanity : shows up at half
past 6 every morning to collect me and it has never missed a day in 24
years. Then theres the insomnia train: it always carries me away in the
middle of the night and though it leaves earlier now than years ago, it
always makes an appearance.
Anyways nice big day planned for us. Kids are gone to school and K has
to do the comp work and the reader's test she has avoided. I kept
telling her, the sooner the better for the stinking test but does she
listen? Well hell no. (See the crazy coming out? I am not talking in
third person. Someone get a shrink in here, QUICK)

Today is going to be another one of those non-stop, fun filled days
of runnin 'round like a headless chicken while trying to acheive the
goals of all my family/friends/enemies while trying to keep my eye from
twitching and my mind from exploding. (Mind you, I am not bitchin, just
stating the facts.) This days journeys began with takin the man to
work. Next, on to getting the boys homework done for school. Then I
have to get him on the bus and take J to school. Then it is off to take
Angel and Jaylen to the doctor's office. Then off to the guys work
again for food. Then back to get A and J. Then the fun of the day
begins...LAUNDRY! Then it is off to get the kids from school and drive the hour to Savanah
to go to the doctor. I am telling you the day keeps going and going. I
am sure the kids love all the running around that comes with them
getting out of school early, but I drove for a total of 7 hours
yeasterday and I am not looking forward to doing it again today. And
there are still a lot of things left to fit in the in-between times of
this day, for example, dropping the math class, talking to my mom,
making sure I eat today, and oh yeah, I got to get the kids stuff
together to take the kids to the fair this weekend. They wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese but
I figured they would have more fun at the fair. It will be good for the
kids to get out of the house and see something else in the world. It is
so hard on them being stuck in the house all the time. They never get
to go anywhere other than school...but really I don't either so
it isn't all that different for any of us.

Well my first thought is that I am
going to drop the algebra class because I am a complete math idiot. I
do not understand it nor do I want to. I think for a second I have it
and then POOF
it is gone. How in the world can any person understand it unless it
relates to something that makes sense every day? I mean if it isn't
something I cna relate to something else it is just purposeless to
me....plain and simple. I just want it to make sense.
Second thought is about the student
loans I got today. I am not sure what I am going to spend the money on
except to take the kids to the fair. From there it is just up in the
air. I put back the $600 I owed my dad so he doesn't kill me. I also
loaned a few bucks to a friend. Then I gave each of the kids a few
dollars for being so good and patient through all of the shit we have
been through lately... but now what? I dunno.
Last thought is the doctor's office
tomorrow. I hate to go but I have no choice. Just another day of trying
to fit too much in. I guess we will see how it works out and go from
there.
I guess I need to go lay with the
kiddies for a little while and then I will write some more. I got so
much left to say but I need to hang with them for a few too. Be back
later. See ya then...hehehe.

I am not getting anything done today.
Between typing here and having to go to the other side of the state I
am not getting the first bit of my school work done today. I read some
of the work for psychology class at like 2 am but the algebra is a
complete fucking mystery to me....HELP!!! I mean really, who uses this
stuff to talk to people anyways? I think it is a little unimportant to
know the xy intercepts to tell a person they are nuts. I just don't see
the use in it. No one had to tell me about xy intercepts in my therapy
sessions,and won't unless they are trying to make me crazy! I just
don't get it!!! I don't want to do any more algebra for the rest of my
life. I want to cost through with just Comp, Lit, and specialty
classes. Those are the ones I get and keep good grades in. Anyways I am going to get to it before anymore time falls out from under me and I fall more behind than I already am!

The
days are all the same. No money from the ex. No money from the school.
No work getting done. No time to think. All the happiness I have is the
paper and the pen that keep me going through the days and into the
nights that last for all eternity. I look up at the rain and wonder why
it doesn't drown me. I have heard that you can die in a teacup of water
but I can not die in a flood of rain water pouring down on my face. I
see the rainbow above me and wonder why does it shine. Does it not know
that when the rain comes to an end it will disappear back into the hues
from which it came. Why does the sun continue to shine when all I can
feel is the rain, inside and out, drowning me in my own muddy sorrow.
Have you ever drown in mud? It is completely different than trying to
drown in water. It is slower to sink but harder to fight. It is like
life telling you I am going to let yourself watch as you sink into the
abyss that you want to call your end. Painfully aware that you cannot
save yourself but that it is going to last for all the time it
wants. These are the feelings of the person inside. I read
it in my case studies everyday but how can you relate to that if you
have never really felt it first hand? I am sorry for anyone who
has become a therapist but has not ever felt what it is like to drown
inside of yourself. You will never really understand the pain inside of
the person you are trying so hard to help. What a pity!

I swear all I have saw on the blog sites
is the cheerleading stuff. Kinda cool except it brings back the good
and bad thoughts of being in high school..... FLASHBACK TO MY HS DAYS:
I am 16 and trying out for cheerleading. I got the perfect bod (who
knew?) and the perfect cheer. I go up to do my audition and days later
get the inside scoop I was put on the squad. Not two weeks later I find
out I am pregnant with my little miracle, Isaiah. I think I can keep it
a secret and continue to be on the squad (at least until I show). Well
with the perfect bod I had (meaning 5'7 89 pounds) it didn't take long
for my little bundle of joy to make himself known to me and the world.
I started showing just weeks after that (when I found out, I didn't
realize I was already 3 1/2 months) and hence the end of my rule as a
cheerleader.....hmmm good times good times. A few little secrets to let you in on... 1st That good bod I had then wasn't so much of a good bod as it was a sign of my anorexia/bulemia that no one took notice to. 2nd The
cheerleaders really weren't my style anyways, seeing how I was in to
skipping school and smoking in the bathroom and hanging with all the
guys who just got out of jail. 3rd
My little miracle baby and his signs of birth (ex. stretch marks and oh
the fact he is right by my side everyday) have stayed a lot longer than
any of the effects of cheerleading would have (though his father stayed
less time, his effects stayed too). The moral of the story....well
I am not sure there is one but it is always nice to share. Or maybe the
moral is this: if you know someone who is 5'7 and weighs less than 110
ask them if they are alright. Another could-be moral: Babies are better
than cheerleading, though a piece of advise to the
cheerleaders....please wait it is harder than it looks. One last moral
for thought: Anyone can be a cheerleader no matter what group your
from....ya just have to go for it.

It is like a little after two and I am
wide awake. I am not sure what is going on with my internal clock but
it has been thrown way off to say the least. I sleep during the day and
am awake in the middle of the night watching cartoons alone. I went to
check on the kids and they are sleeping soundly in their own beds. No
one climbed into bed with me tonight. What a surprise. At least one or
the other are usually sleeping with me when I wake up in the morning. I
want to stop being so bored in the middle of the night all by myself.
My dad asked me if I ever felt lonely in the middle of the night but
all I could say was not any lonlier than I do at any other time during
the day. I mean I am just alone now as I am when it is the middle of
the day. The kids are gone during the day and they are asleep at night
so when am I not alone? During the middle of the day, at least I can go
hang with Angel and we can fuck off doing nothing. Well I am going ot
go lay down and watch the tv for a little while. Get some shit off my
mind and maybe start working on the algebra work piling up around me.
It seems like I never get it all done again. But it is worth the effort
in the end, right?

I
feel like all I do is sleep. I laid down with the kids and I was soound
asleep before they were. I wake up to my baby girl saying wakey wakey
to me. Of course automatically my guilt kicks in that I can not keep my
eyes open long enough to watch at least one cartoon with them on any
given day. Nanny wants them to be quite because Mommy needs her sleep,
her body is trying to recover, but it feels more like mommy's body is
trying to fall apart rather than recover. It is tired all the time and
wakes up just as tired and with a few more aches and pains than it went
to sleep with. How in the world is that recovering? The lack of the
pain meds cause it be that much worse when I wake up and the lack of
time makes the sleep that much more important than what it would
normally be. Everything fits in tune with each other to cause me the
extra grief called a nap. I wish I could never sleep, eat or sit still.
I think the first two I have almost got down but the last is a little
harder to accomplish. Hmmmm..... any ideas?

When the boy got back from camping he
was absolutely miserable to be here. He wanted to be back at grammy's
house. Said he was home sick for her house. How funny is that? I don't
know anyone who gets homesick for someone elses house but not there
own. Only my child. And I can't find the fun in grammy's anyways. She
is my mother and I bailed out of there as soon as I could. I wouldn't
go back (and didn't) even when we are homeless. But the kids thinks it
is most fun place in the world. He believes the world revolves around
the kids running in and out of her house on any given day. My lil bro
is just a few years older than him and they are best friends. He wants
to stay with Buba all the time....I know it seems to suck being a kid.
Just wait until he has to grow up and pay the bills. Let's see how much
that sucks. Or when his kids are whining about the way they don't have
the new x-box and they want more than anything to have it but you don't
have the money....that really sucks. Having to come home so you can go
to school is not all that bad compared to that.

Quote of the Day: My work is a game...a very serious game. What
a day!!! Shew the days keep going and going and going.....like the
energizer bunny. The only difference is my batteries ran out months ago
and I can't seem to get them to recharge. I
got two tests done for school and I got some of my homework assignments
done. Only a few left, but that matters not. I will finish them tonight
or in the morning after the kids are gone to school. I wanted to get as
much done today as I could but the thing is that I get tired of just
sitting in front of the computer and working on the same things. I took
an overload of classes to make up for the stuff that had gotten left
out last semester. I am going to get the work done if I don't get
flooded out of my house and completely float away. It is raining like
crazy here due to the hurricane that came through. Tornado warnings for
the next two days. The winds up to 50 mph. Rain rain go away come again another day.....

I don't think I have meet a "man" in so long though I have meet plenty of boys posing as men for the sake of arguement. The favorite statement made by D two days before he goes to jail. "It is my life. I am a man. I can do what I want." The famous Kay statement made while D is in jail. "I ain't getting you out....you are a "man," remember? You figure it out." LOL...and
now no speaking between the two of us. I don't care how old a man
is....if his mother has baby-ed him his whole life he is still just a
boy looking for a serrogate mother and someone to have free sex with.
SO not worth the drama or the time for anyone like me. I don't have
time to train him, or remake what his mother fucked up. I am a little
short on time or newspaper to house train the man....sorry! On
the other hand, I am not against all men...just the ones I have to live
with. I like any man that is under the age of eight (ok just my son and
little brother) and I am ok with any man who doesn't want money,
sex or a place to live for free. I am also ok with the men that pay
their child support on time, and do visitation with their kids.
(Actually that is the kind of man I am attracted too though I haven't
seen one of them in a long time.) I am even ok with men that I have as
friends for right now. I have always got along with men better as long
as we were friends and not dating. I do believe men were just made to give women something to laugh at!

Let's see what is going on with the monsters lately.....hmmm? SO much really and so little time! Isaiah
went camping last night. I woke this moring to see it is going to
storm all day. I am sure he is ok it is just me doing the "mommy
thing," ya know how it is. He is still my baby boy even if he is almost
eight. He
has lost three teeth in the last few weeks. He is at that gawky stage
between 7-13 when they are missing teeth and getting taller and lanky.
He is looking a lot better than I did at that stage, though I may be a
little biased due to the fact I went through labor and gave birth to
him. Jamen,
on the other hand, has resorted back to trying to be a baby. Nanny has
got the other grandbaby in the house all the time and Jay is jealous.
She has went back to crawling and not talking. She does well at achool
but won't talk to any of the adults. She just won't talk to anyone,
though I know she can. She is astill doing well in school and the
teacher says it is just a phase, but the phase has been going on for
months now....when is she going to outgrow it?

I
swear the weeks get shorter while the things that need to fit into it
get to be a whole lot more! It is Sunday already and I still have
nowhere near finished the homework for the week. I just want to get all
of the work done so I can have some extra time on my hands. This week
is will be more of the same with only one exception....I believe that I
am going to have money to do it with. My student loans finally got
approved and that means a computer for us and some things for the
kids!!!! I am so excited!!!! We have been broke for so long that to
have five dollars would be a plus to us. The kids want to go to Chuck E
Chesse and I want to get the new laptop for a little over $500. After
paying for the books and for the comp I should have about $500 left for
whatever. All mine to spend on the kids and the bills. I don't know
what I am going to do with it other than spend a while telling it how
much I love it!!!! LOL

I
am having the hardest time getting back in the swing of being back in
school and it is killing me. I have what seems like a hundred papers
due at any given time and it has become so overwhelming. I want to make
things work out but the only way to do it is to put the rest of my life
on hold....can I do that? I suppose I could but that doesn't seem worth
it to me. I want to make sure I do the best I can in school but more
important than that I want to make sure I am the best parent that I can
because my kids need that right now. I cannot seem to find the happy
medium in my life. I am sure it is there somewhere under all the stress
and the need to be "better" what ever that may mean. What is better?
Better for who? Who is more important to make happy? The things to
think about.....

The
reason I do things like writing sayings and such is because I believe
the people before us know what they are talking about. I mean they
lived it first. History often repeats itself because people never learn
from the past. I believe the best way to learn is through humor and
reading about things that relate to you in the easiest, most practical
way. The emeny of my enemy is my friend. - Arab Eat and drink with relatives; do business with strangers. - Greek An invalid is a doctor. - Irish Deliberate often...decide once. - Latin Cuando amor no es locura, no es amor. (When love is not madness, it is not love.) - Spanish Better to be spoken ill of by one in front of all, than by all in front of one. - Scottish Below the navel there is neither religion or truth. - Italian Children are the poor man's wealth. - Danish By teaching you will learn; by learning you will teach. - Latin

I cannot believe the amount of things that
are messing up in the US right now. As I sit and watch CNN for the
first time in months, it seems like the whole country has been through
hell! I can not believe that there was the first hurricane and now
another one right behind it. We will never be able to rebuild
Louisianna and now Texas is in so much trouble. All those poor people
being moved all over without any destination or sure when they are
going to reach a stable place. All those poor children who will never
have any recognition other than being called evacuees and a page in
history where none of them will be named specifically. It is sad sad
sad....
The one good thing I have seen come out of all these disasters are the
way our country is coming together to help. It is sad that we have to
wait for things to get this bad before we decide to be caring towards
others, but if that is what it takes to find the good side, I am glad
to have one. In this time of desperation, I am glad to see all the help
people are giving to each other and the anger not being as present as
it was a few short months ago.
I am happy I live in a country where people come into catastrophies and
other people are there to help. I am happy that my children can know
that bad things happen but it isn't the end of the world and we can
always rebuild our life. And the one lesson I am glad that my children
learned that there are people who have it worse then them, so that they
chose (of their own free choice) to help those others in need by
donating clothes, toys and food. Example: my son decided not to buy the
toy he would normally buy with his tooth fairy money, and bought
bottled water to donate instead. What a good kid! I am thankful for him
everyday....

I feel as if the whole time I had lost
contact with the world. I never really spoke to anyone, other than the
kids and the doctors for the last few months. Day after day, the poking
and prodding until I was sick of it. I had a total of three seperate
surgeries to remove the pieces of tumors out of my body. We had to have
the testing on top of testing done. I ended up with an allergic
reaction to one of the meds they put me one which was the cause of one
more week in the hospital. In the midst of all this, my ex
husband, the idiot, decided it was too much for him to help with the
kids through the countless doctor visits and hospital stays and decided
to move back to Flordia and not send a dime in childd support in the
last three months! My mother has talked to me twice in the last three
months and my best friend is so far away there is very little she can
do to help. That left me, myself and I to do it alone, which I
accomplished quite nicely, if I do say so myself.
Anyways, I am begining to feel a lot better and both my kids are in
school this year, so some of the pressure to hurry hurry hurry to get
everything done for school has been removed from me. I still have a lot
of doctors appointments but I am not as sick and nauseated all the
time. I can actually sit for an hour at a time trying to get the things
done without running to bathroom.
Well it is time to take the baby girl to the school and then get started on some school work. I'll write more later.

back together again!
A few messages to my friends (who I hope still are):
Miss Cat, damn girl I missed ya! Happy birthday!!!!!! Finally legal to
get into trouble I see. I hope the summer was good and that we get a
chance to catch up. I am going to have to go back and do some reading.
To the preacher man....I have thought of you often and the guidance I
needed from you. I leaned so much in the past few months and have a
whole new outlook on life. I am so glad to have known you.
TO anyone who posted comments I never responded....I am sorry. I have
had a long summer and haven't had a chance. Of course, as you all know,
I will catch you up ASAP.
Hugs and Kisses

I got the grades for the semester and I did pretty good I guess. I made an A in my Philosophy class, a B in my Sociology class, and a C in Astronomy so I passed them all. That is the important thing I guess. I just wanted to make sure that I passed each class with good enough grades to have a decent GPA. I am taking the summer off so that I can spend time with the kids. Jamen is really excited about school next year and so am I. It is hard to believe that she is so big and that she is old enough to go to school but she is.
Anyways, I am just happy this day is close to being over. I am a sleepy girl and really want to take a nap but I can't yet!

It really sucked! I don't mean the little sucked that you forget by next year....this is the kind of sucked that you will remember for the rest of your life. I got to spend a total of 10 whole minutes with my kids and on top of that, my mom disappears so no one can see her for mother's day. I mean not so much as a phone call!!!! So fuck her...I don't have the time or the energy to chase her down to tell her happy mother's day. I just thought as a mom she would want to see her kids for mother's day but nope. She would rather do who knows what with who knows who. And her babies (they are 11 and 13) had their feelings hurt because they had made stuff for her that they couldn't even give to her. It was just so incredibly rude on her part.
On the other hand, Isaiah made me a card and a picture frame with his picture in it at school. It was so sweet and now I have it hanging in the kitchen so I can see it all the time. He works so hard to make all these nice little things for me and I sure don't mean to take them forgranted. I just miss him...the actual physical part of him and Jay being right here all the time. I know this too shall pass but it is taking damn forever!!!

Children's Thoughts
When I go to heaven, I want to see my grandpa again. But he better have lost the nose hair and the old-man smell. Veronica - Age 5
I once heard the voice of God. It said "Vrrrrmmmmm." Unless it was just a lawn mower. Steven - Age 11
I don't know about you, but I enjoy watching paint dry. I imagine that the wet paint is a big freshwater lake that is the only source of water for some tiny cities by the lake. As the lake gets drier, the population gets more desperate, and sometimes there are water riots. Once there was a big fire and everyone died. Timmy - Age 13
I like to go down to the dog pound and pretend that I've found my dog. Then I tell them to kill it anyway because I already gave away all of his stuff. Dog people sure don't have a sense of humor. Bobby - Age 14
I believe you should live each day as if it is your last, which is why I don't have any clean laundry because, come on, who wants to wash clothes on the last day of their life? Brandon - Age 15
My young brother asked me what happens after we die. I told him we get buried under a bunch of dirt and worms eat our bodies. I guess I should have told him the truth--that most of us go to Hell and burn eternally--but I didn't want to upset him. Allen - Age 10
It sure would be nice if we got a day off for the president's birthday, like they do for the queen. Of course, then we would have a lot of people voting for a candidate born on July 3 or December 26, just for the long weekends. Linda - Age 8
As you make your way through this hectic world of ours, set aside a few minutes each day. At the end of the year, you'll have a couple of days saved up. Ricky - Age 7
Democracy is a beautiful thing, except for that part about letting just any old yokel vote. Anthony - Age 10
Home is where the house is. Jenny - Age 6
Often, when I am reading a good book, I stop and thank my teacher. That is, I used to, until she got an unlisted number. Susan - Age 15
It would be terrible if the Red Cross Bloodmobile got into an accident. No, wait. That would be good because if anyone needed it, the blood would be right there. Chris - Age 5
Give me the strength to change the things I can, the grace to accept the things I cannot, and a great big bag of money. Jason - Age 13
I bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween. Thomas - Age 13
For centuries, people thought the moon was made of green cheese. Then the astronauts found that the moon is really a big hard rock. That's what happens to cheese when you leave it out. Nancy - Age 6
Think of the biggest number you can. Now add five. Then, imagine if you had that many Twinkies. Wow, that's five more than the biggest number you could come up with! Michael - Age 6
The only stupid question is the one that is never asked, except maybe "Don't you think it is about time you audited my return?" or "Isn't it morally wrong to give me a warning when, in fact, I was speeding?" Jay - Age 15
Once, I wept for I had no shoes. Then I came upon a man who had no feet. So I took his shoes. I mean, it's not like he really needed them, right? Dennis - Age 15
I often wonder how come John Tesh isn't as popular a singer as some people think he should be. Then, I remember it's because he is a lousy singer. Cynthia - Age 15
If we could just get everyone to close their eyes and visualize world peace for an hour, imagine how serene and quiet it would be until the looting started. David - Age 15

How Do You Decide Who To Marry? (As answered by elem. school students)
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming. Alan, age 10 - No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED? Kirsten, age 10 - Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then. Camille, age 10 - No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married.
HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED? Freddie, age 6 - You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON? Derrick, age 8 - Both don't want any more kids.
WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE? Lori, age 8 - Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough. Lynette, age 8 - On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR? Martin, age 10 - I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE? Craig, age 9 - When they're rich. Pam, age 7 - The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldnt want to mess with that. Curt, age 7 - The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED? Howard, age 8 - It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED? Anita, age 9 - There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK? Kelvin, age 8 - Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck.

"Love is that first feeling you feel before all the bad stuff gets in the way."

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."

"Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you don't yell at them because you know it would hurt their feelings."
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth."
"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget."

There are three guys in a bar. Two are talking about the amount of control they have over their wives. The third remains silent. After awhile one of the first two turns to the third and says, "What about you, what sort of control do you have over your wife?" "Just the other night my wife came to me on her hands and knees."
His friends were amazed! "What happened then?" "She then said, 'GET OUT FROM UNDER THE BED AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN!'"
A wife went to the police station with her next-door neighbor to report her husband was missing. The policeman asked for a description.
She said, "He's 35 years old, 6 foot 4, had dark eyes, dark wavy hair, an athletic build, weighs 185 pounds, is soft-spoken, and is good to the children."
The next-door neighbor protested, "Your husband is 5 foot 4 inches, chubby, bald, has a big mouth, and is mean to your children."
The wife replied, "Yeah, but who wants HIM back?"
A woman accompanied her husband to the doctor's office. After his checkup, the doctor called the wife into his office alone.
He said, "Your husband is suffering from a very severe disease, combined with horrible stress. If you don't do the following, your husband will surely die."
"Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant, and make sure he is in a good mood. For lunch make him a nutritious meal. For dinner prepare an especially nice meal for him. Don't burden him with chores, as he probably had a hard day. Don't discuss your problems with him, it will only make his stress worse. And most importantly, make love with your husband several times a week and satisfy his every whim." If you can do this for the next 10 months to a year, I think your husband will regain his health completely.
On the way home, the husband asked his wife.
"What did the doctor say?"
"You're going to die," she replied.
A Frenchman and an Italian were seated next to an Englishman on an overseas flight. After a few cocktails, the men began discussing their home lives.
"Last night I made love to my wife four times," the Frenchman bragged, "and this morning she made me delicious crepes and she told me how much she adored me."
"Ah, last night I made love to my wife six times," the Italian responded, "and this morning she made me a wonderful omelet and told me she could never love another man."
When the Englishman remained silent, the Frenchman smugly asked, "And how many times did you make love to your wife last night?"
"Once," he replied.
"Only once?" the Italian arrogantly snorted. "And what did she say to you this morning?"
"Don't stop."

The kindergarten class had a homework assignment to find out about something exciting and relate it to the class the next day. When the time came for the little kids to give their reports, the teacher was calling on them one at a time. She was reluctant to call upon little Johnnie, knowing that he sometimes could be a bit crude. But eventually his turn came. Little Johnnie walked up to the front of the class, and with a piece of chalk, made a small white dot on the blackboard, then sat back down. Well, the teacher couldn't figure out what Johnnie had in mind for his report, so she asked him just what that was. "It's a period," reported Johnnie. "Well I can see that," she said, "but what is so exciting about a period." "Damned if I know," said Johnnie, "but this morning my sister said she missed one. Then Daddy had a heart attack, Mommy fainted and the man next door shot himself."
The first grade teacher was starting a new lesson on multi-syllable words. She thought it would be a good idea to ask a few of the children examples of words with more than one syllable.
"Jane, Do you know any multi-syllable words?"
"After some thought Jane proudly replied with Monday."
"Great Jane. That has two syllables, Mon......day"
"Does anyone know another word."
"I do! I do!" replied Johnny.
Knowing Johnny's more mature sense of humor she picks Mike instead.
"OK Mike, what is your word."
"Saturday." says Mike.
"Great, that has three syllables..."
Not wanting to be outdone Johnny says "I know a four syllable word. Pick me! Pick me!"
Not thinking he can do any harm with a word that large the teacher reluctantly says, "O.K. Johnny what is your four syllable word?"
Johnny proudly says, "Mas...tur...ba...tion."
Shocked, the teacher, trying to retain her composure says, "Wow, Johnny. Four syllables! That's certainly is a mouthful."
"No Ma'am, you're thinking of 'blowjob', that's only two syllables!"
A teacher was working with a group of children, trying to broaden their horizons through sensory exploration. With their eyes closed, they would feel objects from pumice stones to pine cones and smell aromatic herbs and exotic fruits.
One day, the teacher brought in a great variety of lifesavers, more flavors than you could ever imagine. "Children, I'd like you to close your eyes and taste these," announced the teacher. Without difficulty, they managed to identify the taste of cherries, lemons and mint, but when the teacher had them put honey flavored lifesavers in their mouths, every one of the children was stumped.
"I'll give you a hint," said the teacher. "It's something your Daddy and Mommy probably call each other all the time." Instantly, one of the children spat the lifesaver out of his mouth and shouted, "Spit 'em out, you guys, they're assholes!"
Bill and Marla decided that the only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their ten year old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony and order him to report on all the neighborhood activities.
The boy began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation. "There's a car being towed from the parking lot," he said. "An ambulance just drove by." A few minutes passed.
"Looks like the Andersons have company," he called out, "Matt's riding a new bike and the Coopers are having sex."
Mom and Dad shot up in bed. "How do you know that?" The startled father asked.
"Their kid is standing out on the balcony too," his son replied.

Your Birthdate: April 4 |
Being born on the 4th day of the month should help make you a better manager and organizer.
You may be more responsible and self-disciplined than you realize.
Sincere and honest, you are a serious and hard working individual.
Your feelings are likely to seem somewhat repressed at times.
The number 4 has something of an inhibiting effect on your ability to show and express affections, as feeling are very closely regulated and controlled.
You are apt to be much more practical, rational, and conscious of details.
There is a good deal of rigidity and stubbornness associated with the number 4. |

Why is the English language so hard? If this doesn't give you an insight, nothing will....LOL
1) The bandage was wound around the wound.
2) The farm was used to produce produce.
3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4) We must polish the Polish furniture.
5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6) Since there is no time like the present, he began to present the present.
7) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
8) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
9) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
10) They're too close to the door to close it, as were the other two there.
11) The buck does funny things when the does are present.
12) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
13) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
14) After a number of injections my jaw got number.
15) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
16) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests
17) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France (Surprise!). Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.
If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend. If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? Is it an odd, or an end?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all.. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.
And finally: Why doesn't "Buick" rhyme with "quick"?

I am slowly selling all of the stuff I have in my house that I no longer need. I don't want it here anymore and there are so many people who are willing to buy it that I am going to have a big yard sale in the next few weeks to get this stuff out of the way. I sold one of the 5 tv's in the house to Jimmy, a friend of mine, last night just so it would be gone from here and I wouldn't have to worry about it being in the way any longer. I need to make a list of the other stuff I would like to get rid of and the stuff that I can trade off (like books) to get new stuff for. I feel so crowded and like I need to start over again. Ok maybe not start over again but get a new idea on life and start over fresh now that I am not thinking I may be dying. Isn't it funny, you think it is the end of your life, so you hang on to all of the junk that is here just so that it is still yours. No one wants to die without a thing, ya know what I mean. It was like the more I thought this shit was going to kill me the more I held on to the meaningless things and wanted them around. Silly, huh? Not anymore!!!! It is all going and going as fast as I can get it out of here. I want it to be in a new place with out having to be right under my ass all the time. I mean I have a shed full of stuff and a basement getting that way. I am going to sell it all and then save the money for my trip.WOW at the ideas I come up with when I am writing here. Not that it will get saved but it was a very good idea anyways. Ok well there are some more funny stuff and a few things I want to print off for mother's day.

I have offically finished my first year of college and though I know my grades slipped a little at the end I believe I kept them up enough to pass. That means I will get the financial aid I need for next year and also that I can take my classes on line next semester without any problems. Both kids will be in school next year so I will be able to do it all during the day and maybe even get a part time job babysitting so I can have some of my own money coming in....how great would that be?! Next week I will finally know what the grades are so I won't forget to post them. I am just so excited about the whole thing. The only bad part is having to get the job like under the table so not to mess up my SSI. I may just try babysitting or something. I love kids as you can all tell and I love being able to love on the new babies so it would be a great thing for me. Besides that, all my friends are pregnant right now and they are to have their babies by the begining of school next semester. One of them gets post partum depression really bad after all her kids so I feel like I would have that one for a little while anyways.

I go back to the dr next Thursday and will get the results for the rest of the tests they have run on me. I feel like I have been run through the shredder and this is what has been spat out. Not a very good visual I assume but ya get the point! I am just so very excited that this will not ruin my ever closer trip to Florida and New York. The Dr said if I am healed in time and even if I was on chemo as long as it was like 2 days home then 2 days home, I could still go and he caould send a list of dr names with me just in case. I am excited. I tend to think if I leave this state the sickness will stay behind and allow for me to hang with friends and family for a little while without the pain and hospital visits. I know it is a crazy thought but it is mine and that makes it all the more inportant and believeable for me!

I am sure this is suppose to be one of the good holidays for women but it just seemss so depressing. I want to be able to have a day for mothers like me, but it shouldn't make you feel obligated to buy things for the people who birthed you, especially if they didn't raise you. I feel guilty that I don't want to get anything for my mom but at the same time my "mom" is in the ground too. I am starting to believe this is just another plot for Halmark to make money off of people! (Can ya tell I am cranky today?)
Anyways, the kids came over yesterday and I got to see them for the first time in a couple days. I was so happy to be able to love on them even if it was just for a minute.Of course Jackass the Ex just flops down on the couch where I am sitting and when I tell him that he can't do it because it hurts, he says he didn't realize that that side would hurt where I am! Um isn't the whole couch connected? Yes I believe so. So yes it would hurt no matter where you flop your tiny rear at......just stupid!

Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least six (6) feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush. (I keep my toothbrush in the living room now!)
Richard Millhouse Nixon was the first U.S. president whose name contains all the letters from the word "criminal." The second ?
William Jefferson Clinton (Please don't tell me you're SURPRISED!?!!)
And the best for last.....
Turtles can breathe through their butts.

The 10 First Date Commandments 1. NEVER, EVER HAVE SEX. Sex may sell -- but first-date sex sells you short.
2. DO K.I.S.S. (KEEP IT SHORT AND SIMPLE). Leave him wanting more, or leave him as soon as possible!
3. BE A GOOD LISTENER. He's flattered, you're informed!
4. DON'T TRASH-TALK YOUR EX. There's a fine line between love and hate, and for guys, passionate hate reads, "I'm still not over that X-man."
5. DON'T BE AN OPEN BOOK. If you want to be a must-read, don't offer up Cliff's Notes.
6. DON'T BRING UP THE "M" WORD. Don't bring up marriage on a first date -- and if he does? Brush it off with your "M" word -- "MAYBE someday ... when I've taken the time to find the right guy."
7. DARE TO HAVE SPARES. Dating is a numbers game: The more men you date, the better the odds are of meeting some really good eggs.
8. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. If he's creeping you out, take flight -- don't fight the feeling.
9. THINK FRIENDSHIP FIRST. If things don't work out, you end up with a new friend who may fix you up with someone who WILL work out.
10. HAVE FUN! Smiles. Laughter. Major turn-ons!

I had surgery yesterday and I am suppose to be in bed but it is so hard to just lay there all day and I wanted to get up and write a little and tell everyone what has been going on with everything.
Damn Cat I have missed you.....I feel like I have been gone forever and ever. I miss the funnies and the sarcasim.
Paul, thank you for all the thoughts and prayers. I think they are helping to keep my spirit alive along with the knowledge that it will all get better when it is suppose to be.
Lori, you never fail to be there when I need you (which still amazes me everyday). I love you more than words or actions can ever express. You will have to wait a few more weeks before you can kick my ass though (hahaha).
Dusty, I love you. I don't know what else to say other than that. I always have and always will. I guess we are just stuck together for all of eternity.
Ok on to the surgery. They removed two tumors, one the size of a man's fist that had caused my bladder, fallopian tubes, and utuerus to all be joined together. And the other was a cancer tumor from my cervix. The one on my bladder was caused by the fact that one of the clip from my tubal had come off and been inbedded in my bladder and a tumor formed around it. I have to wait until tomorrow to get the pathology results back and know what kind of cancer it is, but I am just glad that I will be able to pick up my daughter with no pain now. It will be wonderful!!! :)

I feel as if I spend everyday at the dr office and I just don't want to do it anymore. I am tired and drugged most of the time and it is getting too tiring. I wish I knew what ot do and how to fix it. I want ot feel better.
Anyways, my son's stress level has went up so high that he is home from school because his whole body is covered in a rash. I hate that I have made him this way and that I don't know how to fix it. I have to take him back to the dr today and see what we can all do about it. I wish that this all could get fixed and that we could all be alright with everything. I am just so confused.
I feel like this disease has made me, instead of me being me with a disease. I feel like I am now known for this instead of for me. That freaks me out a little too much.

Top Ten Reasons I Can't Be Sick Anymore
10. My cat and I have gotten too familiar. She has started using the toilet and I have started meowing.
9. Did you know when you are home all the time you can see pieces of dirt no one else can see?
8. Every bodily function you have chooses to dysfunction, but only when you are in public.
7. Your entire family becomes hyper-dysfunctional. Therefore, you must take care of them as well as yourself. I wonder if the psycho ward down the road has group rates
6. If you get sick, be prepared to give up your bed, as whoever comes to take care of you will find an immediate reason they cannot use your fold out couch, i.e. I can't get out of the bed, I am afraid of the cat, I am allergic to the cat, I am allergic to the material of the couch. In short, your couch has cooties.
5. Did you know that your fully functional kitchen now becomes totally ill equipped? Never mind that you are the one making the meals. My God, how did you live this long without knowing this?
4. True, your medicine says you shouldn't drive. But don't worry. You can be the designated driver and be on chemo too . . . your caretaker can wake you up . . . no problem. In the event you have a caretaker that will drive and has their own car, they will insist on driving yours just so you will never get your seats and mirrors back to the right place.
3. Be prepared for your caretaker to take over the television and the remote and sit on your bed (which is the sofa) until 3 in the morning. Your couch doesn't have cooties when they are watching TV. It's a miracle.
2. You know that book you bought to keep yourself busy so everyone else can watch television? Guess what, they need that too, to entertain themselves. Remember, you are sick, so you are entitled to no creature pleasures.
And the top reason you can't be sick . . .
1. YOU NEED TO GET LAID AFTER ALL THIS!!!!!
Ten Positive Things about Not Having Hair - Emily Hollenberg, 4-year breast cancer survivor
10. Your hair never gets out of control.
9. You can save a lot of money on shampoo, hair cuts, perms, dye jobs and body waxing.
8. If you go to the bowling alley and there is a long wait for a lane, just put your turban on, place your bowling ball in front of you and charge for fortune reading.
7. If you walk through the airport without your wig and in your bathrobe, people will give you money. The best airport according to my sources is San Francisco.
6. The shower and the sink drains require a lot less DranoTM. The need for rodding is completely eliminated.
5. You are happy to go to the show to see a hair-raising movie.
4. Your hair can keep your teeth company in the bathroom.
3. You can remove your hair when you weigh yourself.
2. People can see a strong resemblance between you and your new grandchild.
1. You can charge people $10 for rubbing your head. Remember when you were pregnant and total strangers would come up and pat your stomach... seriously, never talk about your hemorrhoids!!

I am the first person to say when I get scared, I will run away. If that means running to a new town or a new state or just running to hide by myself for a few days, I can do it and usually will do it. When I meet D, he told me stop running because you will always find yourself where ever you go, and that is true.So for the last two and a half years I have stayed put and gave up on the running. But in hte last few days, I feel it slowly creeping and I want to run. I want to take the kids and hide from all of the hurt and stress going on and maybe it won't follow us. Maybe cancer lives In WB but if I run to the 'Ville and hide in the thousands of people there it won't find us, but will find someone else more deserving. AAhhhh if the world and disease worked that way.
But really, who is deserving of a disease? The murderers and child rapists, maybe. Even then I would say that is a cruel and unusual punishment. But I mean, I have heard every excuse from this is God trying to show me something to this is just what happens to certain people. Really I don't care what the reason. I just want to know the kids are ok and that they are happy in their lives and that they always know I love them.

Well it is offical! Today was the very first day as my life as a cancer patient. I am so calm. The effect hasn't kicked in yet, but when it does I feel for D. I can just see the breakdown up ahead. But for right now I am making plans and goals and other things to make sure that the kids are taken care of and that we are all still a family for as long as possible. I know that cancer is one of the curable diseases and that is exactly what I keep thinking. But see, here is the negative....my mom's mom died of cancer a few years ago and she only had two weeks from the day she found out to the day she was dead. What if that is me? Will J remember me? Will Nick know that I didn't mean to bail? Will they both know forever that I love them?
Ok why all the negative, right? Well they found this a year ago but "misplaced" the info so it was a FULL year before it came to light. This stuff has been eating at my body for a year with me having no idea except for the large amounts of pain that kept being passed off as just other things. I mean as of yet we still do not know the full extent of the damage going on in my body. Who does that? What kind of doctor "misplaces" important pieces of info like cancer cells? That is the biggest pile of fucking bullshit I have heard to date!
I just cannot think straight. I want to cry and have the breakdown now but at the same time if I break down then the kids will too, and that would be bad.
But the thing is I am still not afraid of the dying. I am afraid of the kids being without me and me being without them. I am afraid it will hurt for a long time, and then finally after all the time and the pain and the stress on the kids it will kill me. But I did the smart thing. I got a will and a living will and I made all of the things known what and how and when things should happen. This is going to be exactly my choice. I will not be at the mercy of others. I will be and have exactly what I want up to the very last moment.
Sorry to anyone I didn't talk to directly to tell them. I apologize but I have to vent so here it is for the whole world to know.
Hug, Loves and all else

I feel like I am in this ever sinking hole and that I have forgotten how to get out of it. I am walking in the cloud of life without the slightest idea of where I am going or what I am doing at any given time. My kids are gone most of the time, without the slightest care in the world. D treats me like shit without the slightest care in the world.And I lay in bed all alone all the time worried out of my mind.
When did I give up on everything? When did it become such a big deal to get out of bed and say hi to someone? I just don't know what I am doing.
This weekend ended up with fights non-stop with D which sucks so bad. I don't want to fight with him anymore but I don't know what else to do to make him listen to me. I just want to know what is going on with him.
Well I have to take Nick to the denist in a little while and make sure it is all ok for him. I also have to go to B&L to see Jay. Shew what a long day and all I want to do is crawl back in bed and disappear.

Only a Texan could think of this .... from the County where drunk driving is considered a sport, comes this true story.
Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a bar in Bandera, Texas. After last call the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated that he could barely walk. The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity and trying his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his car which he fell into. He sat there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off (it was a fine, dry summer night) flicked the blinkers on, then off a couple of times, honked the horn and then switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little and then remained still for a few more minutes as some more of the other patron vehicles left. At last, the parking lot was empty, he pulled out of the parking lot and started to drive slowly down the road.
The police officer, having patiently waited all this time, now started up the patrol car, put on the flashing lights, and promptly pulled the man over and carried out a breathalyzer test. To his amazement the breathalyzer indicated no evidence of the man having consumed any alcohol at all! Dumbfounded, the officer said, "I'll have to ask you to accompany me to the police station. This breathalyzer equipment must be broken."
"I doubt it," said the truly proud Texan. "Tonight I'm the designated decoy."

Murphy's Love Laws
All the good ones are taken. If the person isn't taken, there's a reason. (corr. to 1) The nicer someone is, the farther away (s)he is from you. Brains x Beauty x Availability = Constant. The amount of love someone feels for you is inversely proportional to how much you love them. Money can't buy love, but it sure gets you a great bargaining position. The best things in the world are free --- and worth every penny of it. Every kind action has a not-so-kind reaction. Nice guys(girls) finish last. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Availability is a function of time. The minute you get interested is the minute they find someone else.
Murphy's Laws of sex
The more beautiful the woman is who loves you, the easier it is to leave her with no hard feelings. Nothing improves with age. No matter how many times you've had it, if it's offered take it, because it'll never be quite the same again. Sex has no calories. Sex takes up the least amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble. There is no remedy for sex but more sex. Sex appeal is 50% what you've got and 50% what people think you've got. No sex with anyone in the same office. Sex is like snow; you never know how many inches you are going to get or how long it is going to last. A man in the house is worth two in the street. If you get them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow. Virginity can be cured. When a man's wife learns to understand him, she usually stops listening to him. Never sleep with anyone crazier than yourself. The qualities that most attract a woman to a man are usually the same ones she can't stand years later. Sex is dirty only if it's done right. It is always the wrong time of month. The best way to hold a man is in your arms. When the lights are out, all women are beautiful. Sex is hereditary. If your parents never had it, chances are you won't either. Sow your wild oats on Saturday night -- Then on Sunday pray for crop failure. The younger the better. The game of love is never called off on account of darkness. It was not the apple on the tree but the pair on the ground that caused the trouble in the garden. Sex discriminates against the shy and the ugly. Before you find your handsome prince, you've got to kiss a lot of frogs. There may be some things better than sex, and some things worse than sex. But there is nothing exactly like it. Love your neighbor, but don't get caught. Love is a hole in the heart. If the effort that went in research on the female bosom had gone into our space program, we would now be running hot-dog stands on the moon. Love is a matter of chemistry, sex is a matter of physics. Do it only with the best. Sex is a three-letter word which needs some old-fashioned four-letter words to convey its full meaning. One good turn gets most of the blankets. You cannot produce a baby in one month by impregnating nine women. Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Thou shalt not commit adultery.....unless in the mood. Never lie down with a woman who's got more troubles than you. Abstain from wine, women, and song; mostly song. Never argue with a women when she's tired -- or rested. A woman never forgets the men she could have had; a man, the women he couldn't. What matters is not the length of the wand, but the magic in the stick. It is better to be looked over than overlooked. Never say no. A man can be happy with any woman as long as he doesn't love her. Folks playing leapfrog must complete all jumps. Beauty is skin deep; ugly goes right to the bone. Never stand between a fire hydrant and a dog. A man is only a man, but a good bicycle is a ride. Love comes in spurts. The world does not revolve on an axis. Sex is one of the nine reasons for reincarnation; the other eight are unimportant. Smile, it makes people wonder what you are thinking. Don't do it if you can't keep it up. There is no difference between a wise man and a fool when they fall in love. Never go to bed mad, stay up and fight. Love is the delusion that one woman differs from another. "This won't hurt, I promise."

MURPHY'S LAWS
Nothing is as easy as it looks. Everything takes longer than you think. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong. Corollary: If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then. If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway. If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop. Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse. If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something. Nature always sides with the hidden flaw. Mother nature is a bitch. It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious. Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first. Every solution breeds new problems.

I have never taken a liquid pain killer at home. Now I have taken liquid IV pain killers but these at home ones are a lot different. I am not sure that I like them. I am walking in the biggest fog but not very sleepy. It is a good little feeling that I could so get use to. Not that I am going to. We only have ten more days of meds and then on to phase two of the whole being sick thing. But I do not know what phase two is yet. I want it to be over over over, but I am sure that it will last as long as it is suppose to. It is all part of some big plan that I have no idea about. (Sounding like anyone Paul?)
Anyways I just wnated to tell you if I reamble about things or my spelling gets really bad, that is what is going on.

So I went back to the doctor today, and for the first time I am scared. I am scared of what to think what to say to the kids what is going to happen. I want to talk to them about it, but I don't know what to tell myself yet so I sure don't know what to tell them. I want to tell them everythign will be great mommy is just a little sick and the doc is going to fix it, but what if that isn't true. What if it doesn't end up ok? What if I end up way sicker? What if I have to go in to the hospital again for a few days and there is no telling? Damn I am scared (shhhhh don't tell anyone. I am the strong one around here you know.)

A five year old told my darling little angel about dope. I mean dope as in pot not meth, crank or crack. But still, same panic is setting in in me. I do not know what to tell my son about it, or why people do it. I have always been a very open parent but this is the one thing he didn't come to me about. Now I am worried about the other things in his life he isn't going to come to me for. I am worried what ideas he is getting about it or from others about it, but when I ask him he says he doesn't want to talk about it. He is only three years younger then me the first time I smoked a cigarette and only 5 away from the first time I tried pot. I am just worried that he is going to get the wrong idea that it is cool and I am going ot have to kill him and his little friends. well I know the right thing to do is to sit him down and make him talk to me, but that is the wrong idea to give him. I want him to come to me in his own time and not think I am pressuring him. But what if he doesn't? What if he never asks? What is the "right" thing to do?
Well to the best of my knowledge I am going to give him a couple more days. If he comes to me we will talk. If he doesn't come to me, I will start asking questions. He may not tell me a lot but he will let me in a little which is all I want.

My house is being eat from the inside out by termites. I figured out yesterday when what I origionlly thought were overgrown flying ants attacked my walls. Then D the brilliant man, says, "Hey babe? Them there are termites..." (That is exactly what he said, he is a little country at times.) So now we have to get the bug guy to come do the spray thing but they have been there for at least a year, so it may be bad. Millions of little bugs living in my walls and I am creaped out. I mean all I can think of is little bugs eating me alive or my house falling around me. It is going to be bad bad bad I can tell!

And she said I am to come to her house when this surgery is done. I am suppose to be in bed for 6 weeks which means that I would have to go there. If not I will be up doing doing doing, because the kids are here. She was really good and upbeat about it, but I could tell she wasn't really meaning it. She was so worried underneth, but refused to show it to me. She said it will be my job to just lay in bed and eat like crazy. She was just so funny about it. But I know we are both thinking the sooner the better. If I wait I will never make it to New York and I will also just be worried for longer which is no good for either of us. We are the kind that like to know then fix it now, not plan it for weeks later. We go in, they say we need to do something, and then we are ready to get it done in a half hour. Just need long enough to get the kids where they are and tell my girl to be on her way. That is the extent of the whole ordeal. I just wnat it to be done just that quick.
I am so tired right now but I have so much to say. I have the feeling it will have to wait until tomorrow before I get them wrote. I just wanted to write about Lori before I forgot (the meds make me a little out of it!).

So D decided it would be in our best intrest to go to the park, so we go. Well on the way there, this cop gets behind us and is calling in D's tag. His car is like crazy loud and he shouldn't be out in it but he does anyways, and my car is out of gas so I wasn't going ot drive. Anyways he doesn't have a DL so I was sure we were all going ot go to jail. He whips his car over in to a store, right in front of a truck. Well tghe cop turns on his sirens and I was super sure we were all going to go to jail then. Well the cop just keeps going but I was scared out of my mind! He didn't get us that time but it is just a matter of time before they do. That was the first time I have ever rode in his car and know I definately know I will never do it again.

I swear I am so tired all of the time. I took about a two hour nap and then TRIED to eat, but it didn't work. So now I am back here with not a lot to say but I am just staying here because there is nothng else to do. I was going to go over and see the kids, but I am out of gas in the car. And I was going to clean the house, but I don't feel like it so I am not doing it!
Anyways, it has been hte most unsuccessful day. I have done absolutely nothing and plan on doing um.....well absolutely nothing.

First I am 24....just turned 24 a few weeks ago. So lets so what they test says........
Age: 24
Typical life expectancy for my habits: 74
My life expectancy: 61
My Health Age: 37
Wow I ain't got long....LOL! It says I should change things and get a better diet and exercise, like running after kids all day isn't exercise! But 37, now that I can agree with...at times I feel that old.

This is the game I play with D all the time but now I guess I am going to play it with you.
Do you remember when phone calls were just a dime?
I do. We didn't have a phone or a car when I was a child so we would walk to the pay phone at the end of the road. When we got there Gramma would give me a dime to go buy candy and then she would call my grandmother to come get her and take her to the grocery store. I would go in to the store to get candy, where the man in there knew me by my name and would always give me an extra piece of candy. That was also the same store my best friend, at the time, her brother got shot outside of that store by a gang because he was wearing the wrong color.
Do you remember when you didn't have to worry about locking your door?
Yep. We would come to TN in the summer and no one ever locked their doors here. I was fascinated at how nice everyone was her compared to where we lived in Connecticut.
Do you remember when it was abnormal to see a teenager with a baby?
When I was young, if you had a baby early and you were not married it was a big family secret. My mom didn't raise me because of that secret. Who would have thought in a small 15 years it would be one of the most common sites in any town?
Do you remember when "good music" was something you could still understand the words to?
My mom used to dance in the living room with my dad to all of this 80's music, and though a lot of it was rock, there was no guessing at what the words are. Now that I am older I thing our brains work faster now, because I get rap music but my mom has no idea!
Do you remember when gas was less than a dollar?
When my son was born gas was 87 cents a gallon. In seven years it has went up here by $1.55. That is a lot. And it will go up a total of 38 cents this month alone......hmmmm.
Do you remember when Michael Jackson was still black, before he didn't "didn't have any plastic surgery?"
Yeah, and boy I idolized him. when I was young and I mena like 4,5,6 young, I thought he was the coolest little guy. Now look at him...molesting kids....uh uh uh.
Do you remember when Smurf was the cartoon?
Just so ya know it still comes on Wenesday mornings on Fox. I use to love that cartoon but now that I watch it, I won't let me kids see it. I mean watch it sometime and see how much more vulgar it is, or well how much more vulgar you know it is than you did at 7 years old.
Do you remember when people said hi, or waved as they went by?
Nope but I lived in the North. People didn't do that. Now they still do here but I don't believe they ever did where I grew up.
Do you remember when Tupac got killed?
YES....and it was so sad. I was just heart broken for weeks! I mean it was so sad and I was pregnant and sitting in a class room when my sis and our best friend came into the room and told me....so what did we do? We left school and went to her boyfriend's house where thye smoked pot until I thought they were going to die and listened to every 2pac CD we owned.
Do you remember when your grandparents would tell you the stories of their lives?
Gramma gave me the picking cotton stories and the walking in hte snow sotries. That is the one thing I miss now that she is gone. I think she was trying to tell me some thing, but I missed it.
Do you remember when you first realized when you weren't going to live forever?
I was six, but I was more tore up wit hthe fact that if I was going to die than so was Gramma. I mean that was also the first time I realized she was "old" (she was 87) and she was going to die sooner than I had previously realized. I was tore up for a good week then Gramma said "Not until it is time" and that was the end of that.
Do you remember when everything seemed so new and that the world was perfect?
When I was young I thought that everything was good. I never realized people were hungry and that there were people who lived in boxes and that people killed their babies. I just thought it was all great and would always be that way.
Do you remember when the only people that had computers were the ones that we rich?
Yep. I didn't think people would every just have computers in their homes. I thought it would always be that people would have to be rich and important and now it is like almost everyone has one.
Do you remember when you had the first away from your parents experience?
I was 12 before I ever left Gramma. I went to a group home. That is where I lived until I got pregnant with my son and moved out on my own. Up until that group home, Gramma needed me, but once she was gone I rebelled like crazy. I mean rna around like crazy. Up until that point I was a good girl!

Ok so the dr called last night to give me the results of the tests I had done a few weeks ago. I have issues to say the least but don't want to go in to them until I know for sure what they are and how to fix them. I am not really scared but I know my kids are. I get so tired so easy now and the kids are worried that I am really sick! Then there is the fact I am not allowed to pick up the baby, which is hard on her because she is still really babied by me (she is my very last baby, ya know). I am also losing weight, which I just chalked up to the fact I wasn't really hungry lately, which is true but the thing is this whole thing is causing it.So now I am weak on top of the rest of it. I don't really know how this will end up but I am convinced that it won't end up as bad as the dr made it sound like. Other than that we still have a lot of test and things left to do before we know for sure and I am sure not going to scare anyone more than I have to without knowing for sure. I just felt the need to write it down. I cannot tell Lori yet because she will worry and I sure can't tell D because he is a guy who doesn't get girl stuff at all! As for my mom and such as that, they knew I went in for them but they haven't bothered to make the phone call to check on me at all (what did I expect?) so I am just not going to call her. She will say it is nothing and make it way smaller than it is may be, just because it may take the attention off of her for the slightest second.
Ok well I need to get on some other stuff I was planning ot do right now and I am starting to get tired again, so I should hurry and get it done.

I am going to New York the first week in July and am so excited.....I can not wait to go "home" for the first time in a few years. I know this may also mean blowing off the trip to Flordia but I have to go see some so-called family.I haven't seen all of them since 2001 and some of them I really want to see. It will be great!!!
The dreaded part of it is that it is a 15 hour drive. That means a long time in the damn car. And of course my friend Aaron is worried so he got me a cell phone to take with me. He doesn't want me to be stuck somewhere. This is the first planned trip I will make in a long time. Most of the time I get in the car and go, where ever whenever I feel like it I just pack up the stuff and go on a road trip. But this time it gives me months of planning, and I am not sure it is better. Actually I think it may be worse. I have to sit for three damn months and think of what exactly it is that I need to take with me and how and when to stop. Usually I just want to go, not think about it.

Ok I know a little weird...but the land lord asked me this when D had the brilliant idea of telling him that I don't believe in God or the whole religion thing. The land lord is an 80 year old man for one, and we live in the so-called Bible Belt for another. The combo of the two made me seem like I was very close to the devil for this. My landlord isn't the only to think this.....
Anyways he asked me and I said no. Well he asks if I was scared of my kids dying and again I say no, I am scared of them being hurt but not dying or being dead. I, in turn ask him the same and he says yes, so I ask why? I mean if you believe in GOd and you are sure you are going to heaven why be scared. Well he wasn't sure why he was, he just was.
So now I ask you all....Are you scared of dying? Why/why not? I mena if you believe in Heaven and are sure you are going there, why be scared? If you believe in heaven but are messing up, why not fix it now? If you don't believe then you have nothing to worry about, right, so why be scared?

So I got the grades back on my papers today and yipee!!!!! i made an 86 on my philosophy paper (which is a B) and a 89 on my Sociology paper (which is one point away from being an A) I am super impressed with myself. I mean I am walking around like the big shit, but the big shit will have a big stink some day. So let me not over-gloat. Just gloat enough for me to be proud and then I will leave it alone. I am an A-B student and I know it, but it makes me happy that I remember something after all these years. I mean I spent forever out of school and to go back and make good grades are impressive to me (and others I will assume.).
OK I passed on the good news....now it is on to the bath time ofr the kids. I have to make sure they smell as good as they look. They are mine and that means that it is my job.v So talk later K

I had to go to Clarsville this weekend so I thought I would go to the book store. Well I am a little fascinated by the unusual and the odd or just plain pagan/wiccan stuff. Either way I got some new book and I am super impressed with them. I have a bunch of books on the Pagan Wiccan religion and also on tarot cards, runes, and all such as that. Well they had three new books on numerology, tarot and runes on sale so I bought them this weekend. I paid $20 for all of them and I have only read the one on numerology but I was seriously impressed. I have to know do the charts on my kids and stuff for their books. My son is interested in it too, but my daughter isn't old enough to know if she is or not. He is also interested in being a preacher so either thing is good for me. As long as he is happy, I am happy!

I love that people have opinions. I even love that people use what I say to make them think of stuff. I am not an important person on a global scale by any means, but I am bigto my kids and to my friends and apparently big enoughto the ones who read what I write and have to comment on it, who have to make their own blog posts about it or what ever little thing it causes them to do! That is great. I love how words are passed and changed and made our own, though they are never really our own. I can read what someone writes or does and talk about it and then in turn somone else talks about what I write and on and on. I think it is wonderful. One of life's little quirks that amuse me to no end. ( ok I am easily amused I know) I even love the comments I get, whether they be positive or negative. I love to know what others think about what Isay. If it is negative I think that is something they thing I need to work on, if it is good I think well they agree with me. Sorry to say, most likely it will not change me, though at times some have made me think and redo what I say to be nicer because I was more harsh than I realized. I want to thank anyone who reads me and goes on to pass the word on to others. I want to thank anyone who reads me and goes on to bitch about it. And yet again I want to thank anyone who reads me and just accepts me because it is me!!!!! (Ya know who you are, *giggle giggle* Cat) At times you may not like it, agree with it, or even want to read it, but you keep coming back for more. It's all gravy baby.....
Hugs loves and all the sticky sweet stuff

PS
This is not directed at anyone.....my website had a comment on it and I wanted to comment on it......so if you feel this is directed at you think if you have been to my home page.....if you haven't, then most likely not about you .....if you have, well then it might be LOL <o;nt-family: "Waltograph"; verdana, arial, sans-serif;

Your Favorite Color is the Key to Your SEX LIFE =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The clothes you wear, your home furnishings and the car you drive all give clues to your sexual personality. The key is the colors you select for your possessions. Most people claim they haven't a favorite color. But look around you, and you'll notice a pattern, especially in your clothing and car and bowling ball and home decor. The predominant color for you is the one that appears most frequently -- it's the one that mirrors the sexual you. A panel of psychologists, speaking at the 1975 Home Interior Design Forum, explained the association between color and sexual patterns.
RED: People who like red tend to be tigers in the sack. They are easily aroused and enjoy sex in every way imaginable. Once the sexual spark is ignited, it may take hours to extinguish. When two reds get together, the ensuing erotica could make Lady Chatterley blush. Lovers of red tend to be aggressors and weaker colors should be aware.
YELLOW: If you tend to favor yellow, your sexual drives are complex and turn toward the adaptable. The favorite color of homosexuals is yellow. But don't panic, not everyone who wears yellow is gay. In most cases the person will consent to the stronger partner's desires in a passive manner. You will never enjoy sex to the fullest, but you will never turn down an invitation from somebody you enjoy or admire.
PINK: Persons who like pink show a reluctance to mature in sexual matters: women tend to tease, to promise more than they intend to deliver. In some cases they flaunt their femininity -- but because they secretly hate men. A great percentage of prostitutes boast entire wardrobes in pink. Men who like pink are the philanderers and flirts. They are the type who will make three dates for the same evening and not keep one, preferring to pick up a dish in some bar instead. Women whose husbands like pink should keep a secret nest egg.
PURPLE: Lovers of purple frequently consider themselves to be too sophisticated for a fun romp in the sack. Women sometimes are the type who hate to mess their hair. Men are businesslike in their approach to lovemaking. In both sexes purple partners are more concerned with their fulfillment than anyone else's gratification.
BLACK: Black color preferences point to black sex (not necessarily meaning black partners). These people are the misfits of the sex world and seek out each other in kinship. They tend to prefer perverted sex and are usually masochistic or sadistic in nature. They are moody people and often perform at their peak when under stress or during unhappy times. Police psychiatrists claim that sex offenders prefer the color black. And it is no coincidence that the uniform of mobsters and teenage gangs is black attire.
GREEN: Those who prefer green are fresh and innocent in their approach to sex. Women who love green will always make love like virgins all their life. And a man may always be a trifle clumsy and awkward but in a charming and endearing sort of way. Green lovers are gentle, but not passionate. If chosen as a mate, one will never need worry about infidelity.
ORANGE: Lovers of the color orange lean toward sexual fantasies. The sex act is regarded as a dramatic one-act play in which they are the star. Foreplay is as important as the act of love. They whisper sweet nothings, meaningless dialogue; they feel it is their image. Orange people often do not experience orgasm -- but they put on a darn good act. Men tend to pull their partner's hair, and women leave red welts on the sex partner's back.
BROWN: If you love brown, you're a real treasure for the right mate. Brown lovers tend to be warm and deep, sensitive to the needs and desires of their partners. Sex is a 24 hour a day thing, where you can't say "I love you" often enough. Snuggling by the fire, walking in the rain or catching snowflakes on their tongue is a turn- on to a lover of brown. They need lots of time and privacy to make love. But their emotions are such that one harsh word could end the affair.
GRAY: The color gray is preferred by people who are indecisive. They can't get excited about anything -- including color -- so they choose a noncommittal shade. Men who prefer gray look at sex as a way of relieving tension -- but nothing more, nothing less. It's wham, bam, thank you ma'am. Women don't make love, they have intercourse. And for one of two reasons only: to accommodate their mate, or to become regnant. They count the cracks in the bedroom plaster until the sex act is over with and done. But when teamed with another color, the gray spouse considers the other's infidelity a blessing. When a gray marries another gray, the marriage is made in heaven.
BLUE: Lovers of blue are wonderful sex partners. They are sinners, affectionate and sensitive to their partner's needs. They consider love making a fine art and their approach is elegant. Men who love blue are like concert pianists, delicately ravaging their partner like they would play a baby grand. Women in the blue category enjoy sex to the fullest. They are exciting partners but their passion may be compared to a tidal wave rather than fiery aggression. Both women and men enjoy foreplay and the aftermath of lovemaking, as much as the sex act itself. In marriage a blue person is a wonderful mate -- never seeking outside interests.
WHITE: If a person is infatuated with white, sex often seems filthy. These people are puritanical in nature. French kissing is obscene and to make love in the daylight in unheard of. Women who love white will undress beneath the covers. Men will shower before and after he sex act. These people still use pet names for their genitals.

I had gave the 50 things on men, so men this is for you!!!
MEN'S 43 or so RULES FOR WOMEN
1. It is only common courtesy that you should leave the seat on the toilet UP when you are done. 2. If you are cooking a special dinner for a man, be sure to include something from each of the four major male food groups: Meat, Fried, Beer, and Red. 3. Don't make him hold your purse in the mall. 4. Shopping is not fascinating. 5. When he asks for a threesome with you and your best friend, he is only joking. 6. Unless the answer is yes. 7. In which case, can he videotape it? 8. If you REALLY want a nice guy, stop dating good-looking assholes. 9. The man is ALWAYS in charge of poking the campfire with a stick and/or tending the grill. 10. Trying to provoke a large, dangerous-looking felon from across the room is not funny. 11. Money does not equate love. Not even in Nevada. 12. Any attempt by a man to prepare food, no matter how feeble (i.e. Microwaving a burrito, fixing Spaghetti, etc.) should be met with roughly the same degree of praise a parent might shower upon their infant when it walks for the first time. 13. Those male models with perfect bodies are all gay. Accept it. 14. He heard you the first time. 15. You know, YOU can ask HIM out too... Let's spread the rejection around a little. 16. If you truly want honesty, don't ask questions you don't really want the answer to. 17. Of COURSE he wants another beer. 18. The guy doesn't ALWAYS have to sleep on the wet spot. 19. Dogs good. Cats bad. 20. Any sort of injury involving the testicles is not funny. 21. If he has to sit through "Legends of the Fall", you have to sit through "Showgirls". 22. "Fine." is not an acceptable way to end an argument. 23. Do not question a man's innate navigational abilities by suggesting he stop for directions. 24. He was not looking at that other girl. 25. Well, okay... maybe a little. 26. Okay, so what! He was looking at her. Big deal. Like you never looked at another guy... 27. There is nothing inherently wrong with the word "pussy". 28. He is the funniest, strongest, best-looking, most successful man you have ever met. 29. And all your friends think so too. Especially the cute ones. 31. Your (select appropriate item:) butt/boobs/hair/makeup/legs look fine. As a matter of fact, it/they look damn good. Stop asking. 32. If you want a satisfying sex life, you will NEVER fake an orgasm. 33. It is not necessary to discuss the heaviness of your menstrual flow with him. 34. Remember: that Nair bottle looks an awful lot like shampoo if left in the shower. 35. Two words: blow job. Learn it. Live it. Love it. 36. Dirty laundry comes in several categories: Looks fine/smells fine, Looks fine/smells bad, Looks dirty/smells fine. Unless you intend to wash it, do not try to disrupt piles organized in this manner. 37. Yes, Sharon Stone/Pamela Anderson/Cindy Crawford is prettier than you. Just like Brad Pitt / Antonio Banderas / Keanu Reeves is better looking than him. But since neither one of you is going to be dating any of these people, love the one you're with. 38. Of course size matters, and boy does he have the granddaddy of them all. 39. His (fill in appropriate selections:) bald spot/beer gut/impossibly thick glasses/impotency/scabby rash, is cute. 40. Don't hog the covers. 41. Watching football is a major turn-on for you. But please wait until the half-time show to act upon that... 42. He does not just want to be friends. 43. A successful date always starts with the woman uttering the sentence: "You know, why don't we just skip the expensive dinner and stay here having freaky circus sex all night?"

MEN'S ADVICE FOR WOMEN
Never buy a 'new' brand of beer because 'it was on sale.' Whenever possible, please try to say whatever you have to say during commercials. Please don't drive when you're not driving. Don't feel compelled to tell us how all the people in your little stories are related to one another: We're just nodding, waiting for the punchline. When the waiter asks if everything's okay, a simple 'Yes' will do. When I'm turning the wheel and the car is nosing onto the off-ramp, saying "This is our exit" is not strictly necessary. The temperature in the cave will be my responsibility. It will be slightly to moderately cooler than you want it. Is it too much to ask to have the bra match the underwear? If we see you in the morning and at night, why call us at work? You probably don't want to know what we're thinking about. Silence does not need to be filled. It's in neither your interest nor ours to take the Cosmo quiz together. No, you can't have the remote control.

Me and D are not really talking.
For those of you that don't know, he is my best friend (one of them) and I hav let him move in with me because he was homeless. I mean living in his van homeless, so I , being the sweet person I am, let him move in. And it is working out fine, for him, but I am miserable.
Anyone who knows me, knows I can talk and talk and talk forever and never get tired. Well D on the other hand, does not ever talk. He voices his opinion in 10 words or less and that is it, unless you are talking on cars or the "guys" which are the group of boys he works with.
Well I get tired of carrying this whole house and the relationship on my back all the time. So I have stopped talking, not to be mean but simply because I have run out of things to say to him. Well now he is following me around like a lost little puppy wondering "What is wrong" and it is nothing! I don't mean the nothing that is something but I refuse to tell him. I mean the nothing that is nothing so there is nothing to say. Well he keeps saying you are acting different, you aren't talking to me. I said to him, I see you about an hour and a half a day and that is when I talk on most days. I spent more time with you today and have already got my hour and a half out so I have nothing left to say. That wasn't mean, that was honest. If he doesn't like it, he should try paying more attention to how he makes others feel. I am not his mom and I don't want to be. I am not here to cook, clean and take care of everything so he can run with his friend and then come to my house and crash.

My friend has been going to this bar for over the last year, with the people from her job. There she meet a guy that is a friend of her friends, that comes the bar every Friday night. He is loud, obnoxiuos and a little crazy (he fits right in, huh?) I meet him around the same time as she did, and though the first time I meet him I thought he wasn't her type, over time I have come to realize that yes he is. He is just the kind that would ft right in. Not only that he is in a relationship already with boocoos of kids running around where as her's are grown. He is exactly what she is attracted to, though not usually the cowboy type (his nickname is cowboy).
Anyways we have known Cowboy for over a year, and they have done the flirting back and forth, but on their best behaviour thing. Now they are starting to get in to the not on the best behaviour letting the other in thing and it is killing me. C'mon guys, we are not getting any younger! And by the time you guys work up to the normal dating part we are going to be in our 70's and too old to have any fun! So this weekend, he comes over and she cooks dinner for all of us. Of course when he first gets there we can all feel the tension inthe room because they are not quite comfortable and they are working up to it, so finally I am like I got to run to the store for um something, anything. I get out of there, knowing that when I get back it will all be ok (which it was.). I get back and the night goes great so I think. There they are these two 40 year old people flirting on the couch like teenagers making me sick. She has to walk him outside so they can make out. I mean it is so cute. The age of the flirting does not matter. It all resorts back ot teens when you are in love, infatuated, or whatever this is going on! By the time he left, I was gagging on the sticky sweet going on in the house.
Of course, just because it oes good means jack shit to her. The whole next day she is all panicky because what if we scared him off. First of all if we scared him off, I would hate for him to meet the rest of the "family" because they would scare him off and give him a heartattack. Secondly, if we scared him off it is better to know now, before she got even more attached and got hurt worse. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Sorry it took so long to write. I was in bed and sound asleep by 8 last night!!!! That never happens. I never sleep more than 3-4 hours a night, but the kids laid down and I was gone. I woke up at 6:30 to the alarm and was like ......hmmmmmm? Did I really sleep all night with out the sleep meds? Yes I did!!! Apparently all it takes is the tiresome planning of a trip and and the going on the trip to fix the insomnia issues I have had for 11 years.
My friend is also in the non-technical age. She cannot hook up her DVD player without calling me and me walking her through the process. So she doesn't have a computer yet, to say the least. And this weekend let me know I can never go back to writing all the stuff in a book. I mean, it takes too long, my hand started cramping and overall it was just agggravating as all get out. For I know ten solid years, I kept a paper journal. Then I found this and I realized how much easier it is. And I like it so much better. Here I don't really have to worry about who is going to pick it up and read it before it is finished and be offended by what it says. HereI don't t have to worry about it. I can save it as a draft and noone will see it. It is not an issue at all here. Oh and I don't ever mind who reads it, if you feel the need to be in my head go ahead, come right in and have a look-see. It is all good. But don't be offended because it isn't what you wanted it to say or who you thought I was to begin with, ya see? Just look around, go Hmmmmm? and then start your own blog bashing me somewhere else, Thanks!
Ok i have so much to write in other posts so I might as well get on it. I ain't getting any younger or remembering any better ya know!

Shew.....What a long couple days!!!!! I have been running like a little headless chicken (ok bad vision but ya get the point) for three solid days. I mean how much effort do you have to devote to a two hour trip then two days with your friend? Hmmmmm, dunno? Well if you are a girl, you know it takes about three days prior to the trip to pack, repack and them check and do the recheck (God forbid you forget anything!) Then on the two hour ride there, you have to make bathroom stops at every gas station that you see a cute guy standing at (or is that just me, hmmm?) which turns the two hours ride in to five so now you have to leave at least 2 hours earlier than scheduled. Well once you get there, you have the unpacking of the car (all three bags for just two days) and then the unpacking (so everyone can see the "stuff" ya brought)
After that, it is one to the fun of planning. Yes I know we planned the trip for two solid weeks but we have to go over the plan and the time space allowed for each. I mean we are girls, c'mon! We have to fit in 36 activites in to each hour and they all have to be done at full speed. So we plan every second including the eating/sleeping times! I mean we are busy busy busy!
Also, added to this is the new guy which has to be made to feel like "part of the group" (group? I mean there was two of us!) so that added a whole new dimension to the game. Now we has to be headless chickens who can sing and dance to impress. And the guy is not so "new" actually he is a "old" who has worked his way around to "new" (confused? I will explain in the next post) So we have to run like speed demons but not look like we are and be "cute" at the same time! Shew that is hard.....and tiring!
By today, when I was doing tohe repaching, rechecjking, and just re-ing in general, I was convinced it really isn't worth it. I love her, she loves me, but that is the exact reason why phones were invented. To make sure we cn stay in touch with out all the issues.
OK I have been home all of an hour and I have ot go again! The kids, dinner, laundry, unpacking, phone calls! A day never ends in my house. It just runs over to the next one.
Hugs Loves

My daughter's favovite show is Dora the Explorer. I love the fact that she is learning Spanish from it. My mom is Puerto Rican, and even though she made a point that we are to speak English, I was always fascinated with the Spanish language. I think it was more of the fact that I wasn't allowed to speak it (my mom is embarrasses she is mixed. I don't know why, she is just like that!) As I got older I took Spanish as a second language though I never finished it (I had a baby instead). So to hear my daughter speak the language of her grandmother and great-grandfather brings me so much joy. Even more now that my grandfather dies.
He and my grandmother died within 6 months of each other while I was pregnant with her. They were not together, and had not been together in years, so it was especially odd for them to die so close together. That was one point in my life I actually felt sorry for my "mom." She lost both of her parents within six months of each other and, though she has many brothers and sisters, she is all alone in this world. She has no guidance from the people that are there to guide and love you forever. It was a very sad time in her life. Her other family is spread all over and she rarely speaks to them, if she does at all.
Anyways, completely off the subject. So last week while at the park together, there is this little girl who could not speak any English. She only spoke Spanish. Well, Birdy knows very few words in Spanish but they just knew what the other was saying. I was so fascinated. I mean there must be a secret international language that children speak where they understand the other regardless of where they are from or what language they speak. I know some would say that they don't understand each other, they understand play. But I am telling you these two little girls sat and had full on "talks" and seemed to know what the other was saying. I know this from the fact as I was putting Bird in the car she says to me "Mommy wait Maria needs me to show her the bathroom." And I said " Her parents can show her the bathroom." And she says "But mommy I promised." Well as you all that have followed my blog know, promises can only be made in my house if there is no way you can break them. So I let her out of the car and she takes Maria to the bathroom. As I watched them holding hands, and walking to the bathroom, chattering back and forth, I wondered how she knew what Maria was saying. So when she got back in the car I asked her, and she said "Oh mommy she told me." I said "Yes but how did you know? She talks different from you." And she said "Mommy you say it is ok to be dif rent and be nice anyway, so I was." Well still not an answer (and I still don't know how she knew) but it was enough to let me know my kids listen and that was good enough for me.
Now whether they really know what the other is saying is way beyond me, but what I do know is that she talked to that girl for a solid hour and they both understood.
*None of this had anything to do with the point, but an interesting story....lol*

I did not talk to my friend yesterday so I didn't know how she was doing when I posted the message yesterday. Well early this morning she calls (and I mean early. Like the ass crack of dawn). He had just left for work and she was so happy I thought she may implode from pure happiness. Ok let me tell you what happened.
OK to start out with I gave her some not-so-good advice the other day but I didn't know what to tell her. When She asked for my opinion a few days ago, I asked her if she had tried to REALLY talk to him. I mean without them getting mad and him storming off and her crying in the phone to me. She said she had but that in the end, it ended up just like I said. So I told her, and this is the bad advice though it worked, get drunk and just really tell him. I know the girl, and she is too chicken shit to say ALL that she feels when she is sober. She will get half way through and get self-consious and that is the end of that. She gives in to whatever he says so he doesn't get mad (he has a bit of a temper and though it has been over a year since her hit her and he has been through therapy for anger, she still gets worried. Who can blame her really!) Well anyways, I guess she finally did it.
Here is her story:
So she got drunk and of course ended up just blurting the stuff. She told him that she drove for hours today (which she does when she is upset or needs to think) and everywhere she went it was like she saw pieces of him. She saw this beautiful log house with a small waterfall in the front yard and all she could think was "? would like this." Well later down the road it got more and more country and all she could think was "? would love to live out here." She told him, "No matter where I go I think of you. I can not escape you. I love you so much it hurts sometimes. But I feel like I am losing you and I don't know what to." Well to this he replies, just like always "I am right here." * He always says that to her. She will tell him even though he is in the house it is like she is all alone becase he doesn't seem like he is there.* Anyways, she tells him, "No you are not. Your body is here but the part of you that use to look at me and see me is way gone somewhere else and I want to be where ever it is with you. Please just talk to me. Just let me in. If you don't love me, or you love someone else just let me know. I just cannot live like this anymore. I feel like I see you but I cannot reach you. You are untouchable." And she said the look on his face was enough. The man had gotten so wrapped up in working his way to the top, and the kids, and the stuff that he needed to do for his car, that he didn't realize how much he was hurting her. He actually believed he was helping them by trying to do the "manly" stuff and make more money and fix their cars, that he thought he was doing the right thing. He didn't realize she would give all that up and live in a box to be with him and them both be happy! She said for the first time in weeks he acually saw her and realized that that this was the woman he was in love with. He said to her, "I wasn't seeing you as you. I saw you as someone different. But you really are the same woman that stuck with me when I did the dumb stuff and almost killed you. You just got right back up and hugged me and said we will get through this together. And we did. I didn't see you were the same one who came and bailed my sorry ass out of jail and just said we will get through this together. And we did. Now I am telling you I fucked up again and I will make sure we get through this together. I just thought I needed to be more for you, to make you happy. I thought I needed to show you I wasn't all those bad things I did any more." Then he said the best thing she has ever heard, "You didn't need more, did you? I am good for you no matter who I am and you are just here to love me. I almost fucked that up, didn't I?" She was so happy he finally got it!!! He now sees that she just loves HIM not his job, car, friends, the stuff he does for the kids. All she wants from him is for him to touch her, love her, and be part of who she is. And he got it.
So, in all he realized what he was losing and she said he made love to her for the first time in days. Actually looked at her and saw who she was while making love to her, instead of making it seem like she is something to pass the time. Well than he asked her to come out and have lunch with her yesterday, which she did, and he introduced her to all of his friends. (All of this happened Monday and yesterday) Well than last night, he came home earlier and took her out to dinner. He also made love to her again, this time it was sweeter and longer than she could ever remember it being. He is finally trying to make it work. And she told him what a good job he was doing. He is one of those, well like everybody really, who has to be told he is doing a good job or he will give up. And she said for the first time in 9 months they fell asleep together, naked with their skin touching and her in his arms.
So I guess it paid for them to both be honest and open with each other. And the moral of the story is that you cannot expect people to know you love them if you don't tell them. And that you cannot expect people to know you are hurting if you do not make them sit and listen to you. People are not mind readers and they are not sure a lot of the time. The only way to make a relationship work is to make the effort. Now I do not know if this is going to last forever or if it is a short lived victory for both of them, but I do know for the time being she is happy and he is too and that he is taking her on a date tomorrow night, which they haven't ever done, so maybe it will work. Either way I love you girl and even you Mr. ? and for the sake of you and the kids I hope it works out. You may restore my faith back into relationships.

Ok these are the things happening to a friend of mine and she asked me what I thought it meant....(no it isn't about a disease! Well unless you consider men a disease LOL!) I gave her my opinion but I needed a second one, so Cat feel free to jump in with a theory. Anyone can really I just need to know something....
-
Her man starts to come home later everyday, only by like five minutes but they are starting to add up.
-
He isn't as interested in sex. Like went from twice a day (ok that was two years ago) to like once ever ten to fourteen day.
-
When they have alone time without hte kiddos he makes excuses and suddenly has things that need to be done then.
-
She tells him she thinks he is sleeping around (and boy she is really crying) and he jumps up enraged beyond belief. He starts being mad because she says that.
-
He tells her the reason he doesn't take her to his friends house is because she "embarasses him."
-
He is too tired to spend time with her but can work on the car until midnight.
Does this sound a little like a guy who is cheating? I mean I know they have issues but is this more than just an everyday thing? I mean it has been going on for a few months. And the sad thing is that they took a six month split and lived apart though dated exclusively (so he says) and has only been back in the house since January. I mean as long as he has been back this has been going on.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
I don't know what to tell her.

These are facts no one really cares about or even wants to know, but they are ones that I need for a report I am doing and I thought this would be a good place to put them. So now everyone who reads this gets to know more about me than they ever wanted to...hehehe. And some of it is repeats from other posts but I need it all in one central place to go to when I ever get around to writing the paper for Sociology.
-
I was born in the 80's which makes me very embarassed about how cheesy it was. I mean Madona and Michael? C'mon!
-
I call a small town in Connecticut where I lived for a while home, though I have lived all over the East and now have spend over a year where I am now.
-
I lived in a group home in Nashville for 4 years. It was the best 4 years of my life due to the fact I had the most stability at that time and felt more at home than any other period in my life.
-
I love music. Any kind of music is good as long as it makes you "feel" something. If it makes you think or feel something it is good music to me.
-
I have been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder w/ psychotic tendancies, angoraphobia, General Anxiety Disorder, anorexia. Most of these I will have work on for the rest of my life
-
I am an overall happy person with some down days.I manage with meds most days though I find times (like now) when I think I am "cured" and decide to take myself off my meds. Sometimes, I just take myself off of them because of the weight I gain when I am on them. (Lori always says my problem is that I choose vanity over sanity.) Either way, I teeter totter between on-meds and off-meds, though I can't really tell the difference. People around me say they can though.
-
I am in college and love it though at times I feel overwhelmed with the amount of work I have to do. That is normal, I guess.
-
I am different, unique, odd, weird, or what other "negative" adjective you may like to place on me but I am really happy with the fact I have come this far and can be me without the restrictions that people place on me.
-
My daughter's name is Jamen (pronounced Jay Men) Bree. Her first name comes from the twins I miscarried three months before I got pregnant with her. Their names were Jaylin and Khymen (weird names I know but I liked them.). Her middle name came from my Grandmother's middle name Lee though I didn't like it so I changed it to Bree. There you go.
-
Jamen's nicknames are Bird (she never grows and she eats like a bird....get it), MLB (my little butterfly), J (because I like to abreviate...Lori became L, you get the picture.). She has acquired these over her life time and are actually in reverse order, with the newest one she goes by being bird.
-
Her favorite thing is a cat that has been through hell and you can tell. It's name is mow-meow because that is all she knew to call it when she was looking for it, though cat would have been easier if you think about it.
-
Her favorite "song" is Hickory Dickory Dock. She makes me sing it all the time in this high pitched voice I don't really like.
-
She can sing almost every song I play on the radio, but the one song she really sings to is "Drop it like it's hot" by Snoop.
-
She really likes to "shake her tail feathers" after her dad's girlfriend showed her what that means.
-
My son's name is Nicholas Isaiah. His first name came from the fact his father wanted it. Isaiah was because I liked it. His last name is hyphenated with both his father's last nam and my maiden name. Most people think I should drop his father's and just keep mine but he likes it and I want him to be as connected to him as possible even if he never sees him.
-
His nicknames are Isaiah, Sai, and Nic-a-bug (he was facinated by bugs forever!)When he was a baby, we called him Pooh because he was so round and loved food.
-
His favorite song is "Let's go" by Lil John (seeing a pattern?) He sings it word for word, only with the skipping over the "bad" words to include the N-word that he learned was mean.
-
His favorite thing(s) is the massive amount of video games we own. He has a 64, an X box, a Gameboy Advanced and a Playstation. Can you say spoiled? Hehehe!
-
He is shy and will be so embarassed if you catch him dancing though he does it often in the car.
-
He wants to be a cop when he grows up. Running close second is running from the cops in cars like on Too Fast Too Furious. so either way we are in for something that has to do with the law and driving fast. Let's hope he ends up on the right side of it unlike his father did, LOL!

To those who know me well, and well those who don't too, know I tend to bitch about whatever is on my mind....and well this is it for right now. As we can see from looking back on this day, my thought tend to bounce and wiggle and swing like a horrible circus ride, so if I tend to do this here you know why.(or maybe you don't know why, but I will get to that in the next post)
I hate it when people think they have the right to tell you what you need. I do not need to be told that it is bad for me to smoke. I do not need for you to tell me that the 12 pack of Mt. Dew I drank today is going to kill me someday. I do not to be told twenty seven times a day that I should eat more veggies and drink more water. Now this does not apply to those I ask for advice from. I am talking about random people who have never meet me and will never know me. If I ask you "Do you think all this Dew and the two packs I smoked today are going to kill me?" then sure, by all means answer away. Give me your theory on what it is doing to my insides, and how it is bad for my kids to see me do it and any other possible theory you want to throw at me. But if I walk in to a gas station to purchase these items and you have never seen me before, than PLEASE keep your opinion to yourself, in your journal, to your family, anywhere but directed at me.
And while we are on the subject of people at gas stations, do they not have friends or does this just happen in the South? I walk in to a gas station and the clerk says "Hey aren't you So-n-so?" and of course I am not that person so I say no. Well this starts a ten minute conversation on who So-n-so is and what they have done (bad or good, it matters not) in their lives. First, I am not So-n-so, second I do not know So-n-so and third I do not need So-n-so's life story (bad or good) to buy my two gallons of gas. Thanks so much!
And one last question....why do people use their flashers to pass people when they are not suppose to but as soon as they pass you turn them off? I mean if you had an emergency five seconds ago wouldn't you still have one now? And if I am doing 63 in a 55 and that is just too slow for you, can you not just wait until we reach a passing zone before you go flying by me like a madman? Just wondering if you are putting all our lives in danger for a good reason, or if it just because you have places to go like everyone else?

An axiom is a statement universally accepted as true, like an established principal or law of science.
The word axiom also is used to describe a statement that needs no proof because its truth is obvious, self-evident.
For example, A closed mouth gathers no foot.
What we call reality is only a point of view.
Just because I don't know where I'm going doesn't mean I don't know how to get there.
A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety. - Aesop (BC)
To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing. - Elbert Hubbard (1859-1915)
A person is not hurt so much by what happens, as by his opinion of what happens. - Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592)
Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't

Rita Rudners 50 Facts About Men
Men like to barbecue. Men will cook if danger is involved.
Men who have pierces ears are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry.
If you buy your husband or boyfriend a video camera, for the fisrt few weeks he has it, lock the door when you go to the bathroom.
Most of my husband's early films end with a scream and a flush.
Be careful of men who are bald and rich; the arrogance of "rich" usually cancels out the nice of "bald".
Marrying a divorced man is ecologically responsible. In a world where there are more women than men, it pays to recycle.
Men are very confident people. My husband is so confident that when he watches sport on television, he thinks that if he concentrates it can help his team. If the team is in trouble, he coaches the players from our living room, and if they're really in trouble, I have to get off the phone in case they call him.
If it's attention you want, don't get involved with a man during play-off season.
Men like phones with lots of buttons. It makes them feel important.
Men love to be the first to read the newspaper in the morning. Not being the first is upsetting to their psyches.
All men look nerdy in black socks and sandals.
The way a man looks at himself in the mirror will tell you if he can ever care about anyone else.
Don't try to teach men how to do anything in public. They can learn in private; in public they have to know.
Men who are going bald often wear baseball caps.
All men are afraid of eyelash curlers. I sleep with one under my pillow, instead of a gun.
A good place to meet a man is at the dry cleaner. These men usually have jobs and bathe.
Men love watches with multiple functions.
My husband has one that is a combination address book, telescope and piano.
All men hate to hear "We need to talk about our relationship." These seven words strike fear in the heart of even General Schwarzkopf.
Men are sensitive in strange ways. If a man has built a fire and the last log does not burn, he will take it personally.
Men are brave enough to go to war, but they are not brave enough to get a bikini wax.
All men think they're nice guys. Some of them are not. Contact me for a list of names.
Men don't get cellulite. God might just be a man.
Men have an easier time buying bathing suits. Women have two types: depressing and more depressing. Men have two types: nerdy and not nerdy.
Men have higher body temperatures than women. If your heating goes out in winter, I recommend sleeping next to a man. Men are like portable heaters that snore.
Women take clothing much more seriously than men. I've never seen a man walk into a party and say "Oh, my God, I'm embarrassed; get me out of here. There's another man wearing a black tuxedo."
Most men hate to shop. That's why the men department is usually on the first floor of a department store, two inches from the door.
If a man prepares dinner for you and the salad contains three or more types of lettuce, he is serious.
If you're dating a man who you think might be "Mr. Right" if he a) got older, b) got a new job, or c) visited a psychiatrist, you are in for a nasty surprise. The cocoon-to-butterfly theory only works on cocoons and butterflies.
Men own basketball teams. Every year cheerleader's outfits get tighter and briefer, and player's shorts get baggier and longer.
No man is charming all of the time. Even Cary Grant is on record saying he wishes he could be Cary Grant.
When four or more men get together, they talk about sports.
When four or more women get together, they talk about men.
Not one man in a beer commercial has a beer belly.
Men are less sentimental than women. No man has ever seen the movie THE WAY WE WERE twice, voluntarily.
Most women are introspective: "Am I in love? Am I emotionally and creatively fulfilled?". Most men are outrospective: "Did my team win? How's my car?"
If a man says, "I'll call you," and he doesn't, he didn't forget...he didn't loose your number...he didn't lie. HE just didn't want to call you.
Men hate to lose. I once beat my husband at tennis. I asked him, "Are we going to have sex again?" He said, "Yes, but not with each other."
Men who can eat anything they want and not gain weight should to it out of sight of women.
Getting rid of a man without hurting his masculinity is a problem. "Get out" and "I never want to see you again" might sound like a challenge. If you want to get rid of a man, I suggest saying, "I love you...I want to marry you...I want to have your children."
Sometimes they leave skid marks.
Men accept compliments much better than women do. Example: "Mitch, you look great." Mitch: "Thanks." On the other side: "Ruth, you look great." Ruth: "I do? Must be the lightning."
Impulse buying is not macho. Men rarely call the Home Shopping Network.
Men who listen to classical music tend not to spit.
Only men who have worn a ski suit understand how complicated it is for a woman to go to the bathroom when she's wearing a jumpsuit.
Men don't feel the urge to get married as quickly as women do because their clothes all button and zip in the front. Women's dresses usually button and zip in the back. We need men emotionally and sexually, but we also need men to help us get dressed.
Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with superheros. Women have bad self-images because they grow up identifying with Barbie.
Whe a woman tries on clothing from her closet that feels tight, she will assume she has gained weight. When a man tries something from his closet that feels tight, he will assume the clothing has shrunk.
Male menopause is a lot more fun than female menopause. With female menopause you gain weight and get hot flashes. Male menopause - you get to date young girls and drive motorcycles.
Men forget everything; women remember everything. That's why men need instant replays in sports. They've already forgotten what happened.
Men would like monogamy better if it sounded less like monotony.
All men would still really like to own a train set.

words women use
(not to offend anyone to be funny!!!)
fine this is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
five minutes if she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
nothing this is the calm before the storm. this means "something," and you should be on your toes. arguments that begin with 'nothing' usually end in "fine".
go ahead this is a dare, not permission. don't do it.
loud sigh this is not actually a word, but is a nonverbal statement often misunderstood by men. a "loud sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "nothing".
that's okay this is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "that's okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
thanks a woman is thanking you. do not question it or faint. just say you're welcome.

YAWN
I am a sleepy girl still. I have been up a few hours but it isn't making me any more awake. On top of that it is rainy and thunderin outside and ya'll (did I just say ya'll?!) that makes a girl twice as sleepy! I guess the more tired I am the more country I get...hehehe.
Well I have no idea if it is going to be this rainy all day but if it is I should definately bring Isaiah his coat to the school. I tried to make him take it this morning but he ran out without it, and now it is raining and he needs it. I feel like such a bad parent sometimes, but I am sure other parents go through the same things with their kids. Once the thunderstorms stop we are going ot play in the rain. It is 66 degrees right now so it isn't like it is cold. Ok maybe it isn't the most responsible thing to do, but we have so much fun doing it so does it really matter? And they won't get sick, we do it all the time. I mean it is a warm spring rain.

People in general have issues and that is one of the things I love about the world. I love the fact that people are who they are. What I do not like is fake ass people. People who make up shit to impress me or to be my friend. I like people for who they are, for the fact they are happy to be themselves. I can never do that. I am always what people want me to be. I am happy when I am suppose to be, I am sad when I am suppose to be, I am smart when I am suppose to be. Here I am just myself. And everyday I am learning more and more to be me outside of here. This is my therapy. This is the me I want to let out on the world for no other reason than the fact I am a good person.
So what if my mom doesn't like me? She likes people who are weaker that her, and I am by no means weak nor will I ever be. And my sister? She will always be stuck in the rut of playing weaker so my mom will accept her. Lori? Well she knows it all and has seen more than she cares to, yet she knows me for me and she loves me for it (or in spite of it). And D?? Well he's D....who ever knows what he thinks or cares about!!! But I know he stays around, and refuses to leave even though I try to make him go away so I must be doin something right.
Cat....Paul? I am good enough right? Just being me is good enough for you, right?
Screw it! I am good enough for me......

Days and days of the same thing. Now that the days are later that means that there are longer days of the same thing. I love when it gets warmer. We can get out of the house more, spend more time together, and not feel like we are so trapped inside of our lives.
I want to feel more free, but it is impossible. I am tired of hearing the talk talk talk of these people without the love love love they say they have for us. I am as free as I am going to get.
I use to think that I could run away from everything. Just pack up what ever would fit in the car and go. Go where ever it felt like I was suppose to be at the time. Just drive until I ran out of gas and that is where we would be until the next time the need to run. then we would start all over again. We did that for about 5 years.
Then last year I found out something. I cannot ever run far enough away from myself before I eventually catch up. And that is the one thing I am running from. I am running from the things that have happened in my past. I am running from the people I think are going to find out about me. I am running from the way I am when I am all alone. The thoughts I can not stop from racing, the thoughts I can not control when I feel like everything is out of my control. These are the same thoughts that caused me to be have eating disorders, to try to commit suicide, to want to hurt other people when they hurt me and I cannot run from them.
I cannot ever out run them. I had to stop turn around and face them head-on. I had to let them smack me in the head and deal with them. and slowly I am but here lately the need to run that creeps up on me from time to time has hit me and stronger than ever. So now on top of fighting the ADD, MDD, anorexia and the anxiety, I am fighting the urge to escape myself. It will never end and I fighting battles I sometimes lose, but I will continue to fight them as long as I have the kids by my side. I may win some of the battles but I will never win the war.

It was such a beautiful day today, and the kids were gone so I did a crazy thing. I went and picked up Ex and just hung out with him for a little while. I know that seems like a crazy thing to do, even for myself, but I just felt the strong need to see how he was doing. Now don't get me wrong, there are no "feelings" for him other than the normal I shared a life with this man and we have children tgether. He can be a good guy but as you all know, he doesn't make an effort to do it.
Anyways, all we did really was ride around for a couple hours (and waste my gas, not complaining!) but it was good. He was real talkative so I listened to him go on about how he feels about the kids (he got them for an over-nighter this weekend) and why he didn't go to work today. This is the part where I get to make an excuse for him. He is trying. I don't know how I know it, but I could look at him and see the love he has for the kids when he was talking about them. He is doing the best he can. He is doing the best he was taught to do. I know that is kinda saying that it isn't his fault, but I am not saying that. But he doesn't really know that much about being a father. What he does know, he learned from his father, who wasn't the best father in the world. All I am saying is you know he just needs to be taught the things like how to talk to them and how to make them important. I wish I could do that for him, but I can't.
Anyways, as I dropped him off at his house so I could come home, he said "I love you, ya know!"?!?!?! What?????? I mean where in the hell did that come from? Well I love ya too sweetie, but not in the way you are looking at me. I love you for the look that my daughter has that looks just like you. I love you for the way I remember the funny things we got into. I even love you for the happiness i use to find in our hearts sometimes. But I am not in love with you.
I AM SORRY

So my sister and I had a birthday party (not by my choice at all). Now let me start off by saying this wasn't near as bad as I thought it was going to be. I thought of the family fights, the alcohol, the arguing and a lot of talking bad that usually happens at any given time the "family" gets together. Not a lot of that happened, only the talking bad really, but even that didn't happen until I was in my car and fixing to leave.
My dad did a cook-out thing and made some food. I sat at a table coloring Mandalas until people came over and talked to me, then I talked to them. As for everyone else, I was so wrapped up in the coloring that I am not sure what they did at all.
What I do know is my sis never said anything to me. She never approached me. She never apologized for the $1000 mistake she made on my credit. She never said haapy birthday or kiss my ass. She said absolutely nothing to me or my kids!!!!!
I continued to talk to everyone else and hung out coloring for about 2 hours. I like detail so I spent the majority of the time there making sure things on my pic was perfect. After a while, I got bored and thought it was time for us to go (also the tag on my car got stolen this weekend so I thought I should go before it got dark). I get the kids in the car and say by to everyone except her.
Well as I get in the car she starts talking shit about me and crying how I never said anything to her. I know I should have been the bigger person and said something to her, but I am tired of being the bigger one. I am tired of the one who has to make it better when I am so clearly the one who didn't mess up. I am tired of her over dramatic act and her poor-pity-me routine. I would just rather not this time, I am tired and don't feel like it. Selfish? Maybe. Mean? Probably so. Needed for my sanity? Definately!!!
She couldn't say any of those things to me the whole time I was there? She couldn't have came up to me and did something? Why do I always have to be the one to make it better?
I am not going ot this time!!! I am standing my ground against these people before they push me any lower and I let them take me to the brink of my insanity. I survive on my own and will continue to do so for as long as I can/want to. They are extra curricular people, not really needed for me to survive or make it through.

So my best friend came down for the weekend. I told her I wanted my hair cut and so she did it. The cut is great!!!!!But then she gets this brilliant idea to color it. Well first whe wanted to give me highlights and I thought that would be fine. Well she was the one keeping track of time so when she said it was ready I assumed it was. Well I had a nice shade of orange going on and there was no way that I was going to walk around like that. So we decided that the next morning we will get up early and go to Wal-Mart and get a new color to fix it. Well that night we drink a little and hang out for the rest of the night. We watched some movies and just kind of run our mouths about everything that has been going on lately and a little about the past. We had a great time, though by the end she was so sick it was sad. We never learn the lesson to eat before we drink. We really need to work on that.
Anyways, on the day of my birthday, we get up really early and head to the old W-M to get some new hair dye. Neither one of us thinking of the fact that the lightened parts are going to take a lighter version of the dye we proceed to dye my hair. It was suppose to be a red brown color. And some of it came out the red brown color, but the rest came out a little bit magenta!!!!! I mean the color of these letters are almost the color of my hair! That is crazy, but now that it has been on there for a while I love it. My family hated it when they saw it that afternoon, but who cares what they think?! Not I that's for damn sure. And lori felt so bad for what she did, but I simply think it is hair and it is fine. I mean I am the smae girl who has shaved my head!!!! A little hair color is not going to effect me at all.

I have two tests due today and I have to get to studying. I just am slacking in class. Since I started feeling bad I haven't done a lot of things for class and I am worried that I am going to fail them. I need to start working harder and I am going to.
Let me tell you what the problem is with my classes. My astronomy class is great and I thought it would be so much fun, which it is, but the problem is that the labs have a lot of math involved. I suck at math. I could barely pass pre-algebrs and luckily I do not have to take algebra or I would never graduate from college. My sociology class is great but I am not real involved in it. It is repetitive....read 4 chapters take a test, read 4 chapters take a test. Over and over again. My philosophy class is so good, but I just want to take a break. I had to write this big paper for it (which I handed in yesterday) and now i just want to take a break and relax for a day.
Anyways, I have to study for the astro. and the phil. classes. I should get it done before Lori gets here. She won't want to hang around while I am doing homework, but I just got out of bed an hour ago. And she is already close to here. SO she may have to hang around while I do it. I bought a bunch of new movies so she can watch them while I am doing the work.
OK off to the work!!!

My girl is on her way here and I am so excited!!!!! This will be the first time she has been to the new house and I want her to be impressed. I know that sounds bad and I am not one for impressing people but she is differnet. I want to prove to her that I can do alright for myself. She has spent so much time in my life putting the pieces back together and trying to help me out of the ruts I get myself into. I want to show her that I can do it by myself.
She doesn't mind helping, I don't think, but I feel like she is making up for all the my family has done to me. I do the same for her. She has an emergency I am the first there to help, hold her hand, listen while she cries. After all these years, we are the other's support system. I love that.
A little on the background of us.....
She is one of my ex's mother. She started out hating ma and I hated her. But then when she saw how much I was doing for my family, and how I was always taking care of everyone, she started to feel bad.Well I ran away from home and she was the one to come and save me. From then on, I lived with her and we talked about everything. After me and her son broke up, I worried that sje would go away. Well that was 8 years ago and our relationship has only gotten stronger. we kind of "mommy" each other when we need it, but we also go out together. We can talk about everything, from our kids to our sex lives to our mental problems. Even though she is older than me, she never makes me feel like I am a child that she has to take care of. She is very much like a mom to me but at the same time she lets me fall (even though she told me how not to) and then she is there when I do, without the "told ya so."
I like the fact we can be so honest with each other. I love the fact we are so close and that we understand each other even if we don't agree. I love the fact that we both can just be us and not have to worry the other is judging. She will mess up, I will mess up and we will both still love each other. She say I am her "best child" (which is the opposite of what my mom calls me "the bad one")
Anyways she is going ot be here in an hour and she is going to hang out for my b-day. I think we are going to go out tonight, and though she doesn't know it, we are going to my party tomorrow together. I know that is mean to drag her into my mess, but she will forgive me. I cannot do it alone.
THANK YOU LORI FOR BEING YOU AND LOVING ME REGARDLESS OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The kids are the best thing that ever happened to me. I want to be the best parent I can be regardless of what I have to do to become that....
Well I was told I need ot go in to the hospital for a few days and there is absolutely NO WAY I can do that. I am too busy with the kids to just take a few days off and lay around waiting for them to tell me what the hell is going on. It isn't worth it. I know that I cannot help them if I am not better but do you have an idea of what that means? I will have to find someone to keep them. I will have to rush all my homework for school. I will have to rush around taking care of everything. And then be gone for a few days. When I get back I will have a mess to clean up. I will have to reassure the kids that I will not leave them. I will have to do all the make up work. And my house will be trashed because whoever keeps the kids will have to stay at my house.
I am just worried about the whole thing. I am scared how it will all affect the kids. I am scared of what they are planning to do to me. I am scared that I will fall behind and I won't be able to catch up. I know I need to risk it, but I just don't know. I just don't know.
Isaiah is scared because of the meds I am taking. He also is scared that I am going to be gone. He fears everyone leaves him and that if I go to the hospital I won't come back. I know he should know better , since I have been in the hospital before and always came back, but it is the same thing everytime. For days after I get out, he has nightmares. And poor little J goes back to wetting her bed. I feel like I am messing them up being so sick.
I have made them so dependant on me and that sucks. They fall apart if I am not here for them every minute. I think that is worse than me being gone. I have made it where I have become the center of their lives. That is kind of how it is suppose to be, I mean I am their mommy, but did I take it too far? Was it because I was scared they were going to leave me? Am I too over-protective, too imposing? What will be the result of this?

I am sorry for this post if it comes out all crazy. I am really drugged, legally!
I am feeling pretty yuck tonight. I had to go back to the hospital, because I cannot keep any food down. So they put me on a new med for that and some more pain meds. I also got shot in the ass again. So now I am all loopy but I have been able to eat for the first time in two days. The point to telling you this is you may have to over look the fact that it may be bouncing around a little.
Terri Schivo: I feel so bad for all of the people involved in that but I am glad that it is over and if there is a heaven I am sure that she is there feeling so much better than she has in the last 15 years. I have been on the side of the husband the whole time, but this one point. When that lady was on the last leg of death, he should have let her family in there. I believe later in life he will regret that. That was pure spite from the way I see it. He had already won the battle though in this case no one won the war.
Also I think the political figures should have stayed out of this. It was a family issue and it should have stayed that way. One thing I can say though, it has taught the nation and the law makers to be more prepared and make laws that cover these issues for the next time they arrive. So there was the good that came out of the bad. I always say things happen gor a reason. That things are all in a never ending cycle of trying to teach us something and there is always a ray of light in the darkness.
I confronted Ex about the drugs I believe he is doing. He says he isn't and is even going to take a drug test. The rule is if he fails it, he has to go to rehab before he can have the kids. If he passes it tomorrow, then he will be able to get his weekends back with the kids.
It has been so long since they have spent an over-night together. I know they miss each other but I have to look out for the best interest of the kids. Additionally, I think the longer he goes without seeing the kids, the more he loses his focus on the important things in life. It is going to be good for them all to know that the others care. I try to keep the kids in touch with him, but I have got to the point that all I do is let them voice what they feel about him. Right now, they feel like he is abandoning him. I cannot do anything to make him a part of them, that is a choice he has to make. And if he really goes to get the test tomorrow, then that is a step in the right direction, to proving to the kids he wants to be a part of their lives, that maybe he will stick around.
As I read this, I wonder if the "oops" I made in the line about abandoning them I first wrote me. Do I feel like I abandoned me? I guess yes in a way I did/do. Most of the time I don't think about it and I sure don't feel that way. But there is that once in a while I do that what might have been. what would our family be like now? Where we would be? But like I said before, it all happens for a reason.
Earlier I asked a question "What is freedom?" Well now I am going to answer it for myself, right now.
Freedom is the joy of nowing that you can be who you are without the the worry of being made to feel like you are going to be put down for it. It is the realization that you can control everything in your life and the consequences that happens because of it. It is the feeling you have it is a beautiful spring day and you know that it is going to be a day without problems. It is the way you feel when you are swinging higher than ever before. It is the happiness when you get to just breath, just be yourself, watching the kids play for hours being just children. Freedom is just being you. What ever you are, who ever you are, doing what makes you be YOU, that is freedom. Even if you are locked up in a jail or a mental hospital, you can still be free. As long as your mind is thinking and your heart is able to hold on to what makes you happy, you are free.

I know everyone heard me complaining on D but today I was so impressed with him that now I have to recant it. I am sorry D, you are still a great guy. You do still amaze especially when it comes to cars and hard work.
Let me start off telling you a little about D. He isn't the brightest bulb in the box, but he knows a little about what he is doing. He gets on my nerves and under my skin worse than any other person ever will, but that is also what makes me love him. He doesn't argue with me, but will sit there and let me rant and rave to my heart's content (which always makes me feel like a complete jackass). He can and does work his ass off at a saw mill, lifting between 50 and 100 pounds all day long. He is crazy for hanging out with me, that is for sure. I have known him for the last three years but it feels like forever. He is only twenty, and is excited to turn 21 even though he doesn't drink. His favorite colors are orange and yellow (which I think are the worse colors ever invented).
Why all the background? Well he did some of the most amazing things. One of which he did today....but let me start with soem of the past things he has done.
I meet him a few weeks after me and my husband split. he was my sister's husband's best friend and I was staying with my sis to help with the kids since her new baby was just born. He use to ride all night long with me, trying to get J to sleep and let me cry myself stupid about the stuff with Ex. He would just let me talk for hours and at the time I thought it was sweet. Later I just realized he doesn't talk, almost like he has no feelings. Around that time, I started drinking heavy and he was the one that opened my eyes to the things I was doing to myself and my kids. He has a very bad temper when he gets mad and I saw him beat a man so bad that the guy was in the hospital. The reason behind it was because this man hurt his niece, so it is kind of understandable. He loves his mom more than I think is healthy. he loves cars, and works on them constantly though he is more winging it than knowing the facts. He can love like the best man in the world, but he hates just a strong too.
Well today I watched him fix the axle on his car. Now for some this isn't an amazing feat, but it really is for him. He worked 11 hours today and then went with just a hammer and a screwdriver and fixed it all alone. That, to me, is absolutely amazing. He is the hardest working man I have ever meet when he works, but at home he is lazy. So for him to be that determined on something like that and without the tools to actually fix it was so cool to me. I was just watching him do it and it was like he just wanted to show me that he could do it. I think he loves me....which is scary. I mean the whole episode looked like he was trying to show me how impressive he is. I am impressed with him all the time, but I don't think of him like that. I think of him as one of the kids most of the time. Not on purpose, but he has more fun at the park than the kids do. I just always see him like another person I have to take care of.
How do you go from that to anything else? Can you make a relationship out of something like this? I don't think so. I think it is more that we are always going to be friends forever, but then why do I never like the girls he is with? I am never a jealous person, so I don't think it is that. It is more like I cannot think of anyone who I feel is good enough for him.
Hmmmmm......I wonder

I am dreading this weekend more that I have ever dreaded anything. I know I should be happy about the fact that I am a year older and and it falls on a weekend. My best friend is coming down here for the night and we are suppose to go out and do something. I should even be happy for the fact that the kids are going with nanny for the weekend so I can spend time with Lori alone. And I am happy about all of that.
What I am not happy about is the dreaded stuff I have to do with the people I share my blood line with. I will have to go to their house and smile like the world is great. I will listen to my mom make jokes about me. I will see my sister and her husband argue over the dumbest things. I will have to look at my dad do the fake sleeping to avoid my mom (which is amusing to all who watch him. He gets stuck between acting asleep and saying something, when someone changes the t.v. off the races! funny stuff) I will have to deal with all of my mom's friends that she has choose to be more important than her kids.
So I am going to boycott birthdays! Just put my foot down and say we are all to stay the same age for the rest of our lives. (I can dream can't I)
Ok on to the other things that are going on.....
The Terri Schivo case has made me think a lot more about the things I need to do to protect myself and my kids in the event anything was to ever happen to me. I got a living will and a regular will so I won't have to put the burden on them to do anything. I am also an organ donor, not that mine are much good to anyone. I will never want my family to ever go through the things that those people had to go through.

I hate having to write papers for school. It just seems like a big fat waste of time for all involved. The teachers have heard it all before, the students aren't voicing their own opinions but the things others have said. And the people being quoted don't even know it. So, even though I have had since the first week of January to write them, I have only got one of them partly done. Now they are due on Monday and I am avoiding at all costs. Even to the point of washing floorboards. I know I won't have time to do them this weekend because of the fact that it is my birthday and I have 210 things to do and just two days to do them.
Well the two I am having to write aren't really good for anyone just so ya know. They were just subjects I found interesting to write about.
Let's see....I wrote on the ontological existence of God that was made by St. Anselm and rebutted by Gaulion for my philosophy class and I wrote on the reasons why same-sex couples should be allowed to adopt for my sociology class. Thay are both just about as hum-drum as they can get because we are not really allowed to put our own opinions in to it. That seems so unfair to me. I mean why make us write the damn thing if we are not allowed to form an opinion on it? Just seems a bit insane, and though I am all for insane most days, this is one the things I think should be left completely sane.
So here is what I am going to do (formulated a plan): I am going to read all the material tonight and get up and write the damn thing tomorrow. The other one just has to be re-read so it should be no big deal to get it done late Sunday, since they aren't due until midnight Monday. I just know if I attempt to do it all today I will get mad and just give up on it. So that is my plan.
I know it will never work out that way but it is a start. And as long as I have a plan I will not feel as bad. So off to do some reading....or maybe in a little while...LOL

I hate to go to the doctor's office....I mean absolutely worse than anything. But I got up and went this morning. And clarification, it wasn't near as bad as I thought it would be.
I have a kidney issue going on again and it sucks bad. I have kidney stones that I get about once every few months. Well yet again, one is in there trying it's hardest to get out. Let me be the first to tell you, this is the most painful thing I have ever been through, worse than having my baby girl natural, and you don't get anything out of it near as good as a baby.
Anyways, I go this morning for the normal testing. The ultrasound, blood work, CT scan, x-ray. Ya know, anything they can use to see inside of you without having to cut you open to have a look around. I was expecting to be at that hospital for all of 3 hours at least. This being a small town, which I am in no way use to, I was in and out with all the tests done in less than an hour! Seriously impressed. Now it off to the waiting period.....
That is the worse part, well and the constant question "Any chance you might be pregnant?" that is asked every five seconds. So now I have the utter joy of waiting until they decide to call and tell me what it is I got going on in the deep, dark of my body! and it does no good to call and herass them because they are not going to tell you until they are damn good and ready. Then they only tell you the part they want you to hear, not the truth. So that is where we are stuck....in the tick-tock, wait, hurting in the mean time period. Definately a hurry up and wait thing I can tell.

"Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself." -Harvey Fierstein
I was told today that I talk too much and too openly.....hmmm? What is too open? I mean I know there is a line that some would rather not cross and they sure don't want people to know things, but I on the other hand could care less about what people think. I know when to "act right" but the majority of the time I am just me.
So to those who don't like the talk and the way people aren't up to par, I have a few questions for you....
Would you rather people be fake? Would you rather get to know this person on the outside but never get to know who they really are and what they are really thinking? I know most of you know your friends, but do you really know them? Do you know what they are actually thinking?
I know the majority of these questions would be answered with a no, but isn't that exactly what you are saying when you tell your friends "I don't want to know about it" or when you tell your kids they talk too much? Why do that? That makes them feel like they aren't smart enough or they shouldn't be who they are. Well that is the same as saying we should all be robots.
I will be the first to say I do not like the things that some people say and I really don't like the way some people say them.....but I love the fact that they are individuals and they are free to be themselves.
So to all I have one last question....what is freedom to you?

Today has been one of the longest days. Let me give you the run down on the mess of the day.
1) Got up at 6 to D having to be at work, so I run a half hour to drop him of and then the half hour back.
2) By the time I get back it is time for the baby to go to school so I go drop him off.
3) I head to L'burg (which is about 40 minutes away) to go drop the dog off at the vet for his every two week bath thing he has to get because he is sick, but on the way there I realize that the boy's folder is in the back seat.
4) Drop Petey off after he mauls me to death (he hates the vet and all they have done to him there so far is given him baths. I hate to see what it is like when I have to take him for his neutering!!!) While in LB I had to get gas since it is only $2.12 there instead of the big $2.20 here! Oh and buy J some donuts before she had a heart attack.
5) Head back to WB to drop the folder off for Isaiah at school.
By this time it is still only 9 in the morning.
6) I go by the dr and make an appointment because my kidneys are acting up again. We will get into that in the next one.
7) Go make a dentist appointment for the boy because he needs one.
8) Drop J off with nanny and pop pop so I can go to the dr.
9) Go to the dr and sit there for ever and ever....I was suppose to be back at D's work by noon but so not gonna happen. 10) Finally get out of there at 12:45 and fly to D's to pick up some money.
11) Pick up Isaiah from school. Drop off script. Go by auto part store to find out about an axle (D's broke yesterday). Drop Isaiah off at Nanny and pop pop's house.
12)Go back to LB to pick up the dog who proceedes to give my back seat a wet coat before he lays down and take a nap (ugh)
13) Pick up script and am finally home.
I put 200 miles on my car in one day just driving back and forth to two towns! That is crazy and I am not doing it anymore. I cannot stand men for the pure and simple fact they can turn one favor into a million. A simple I will run you to work turns into "can you take care of this and that and the other thing too please? thanks doll!" I hate to be called doll. Do NOT under any circumstance call me doll. I am not your doll. I mean I am 5'7 and nothing like a doll.

I can understand the philosophy of drug addicts. I can even sympathetic and loving to people in the midst of an addiction. But what I can not do is deal with the shit in my child's face!
Ex has been smoking pot in the same room as my little boy....and I very well may have to hurt him for it. Now granted this was at least 8 weeks ago, but still! How do you do tht to a child? Do you not care if you hurt him? Or were you just trying to hurt me?
To my son:
Well, baby I am sorry. I am sorry your dad is an idiot. I am sorry you have been through the ups and downs of one addiction or another with him and Seth. I will protect you this time, even if it means running to the ends of the Earth and hiding with you. I promise you that I will NEVER let it happen again (and ya know what mommy says about promises, right? Only make one if there is no way you can break it!) I will make it better and hopefully I will make you forget.
To Ex:
You may think you are fucking me, but actually you are only hurting yourself! I will NEVER let you be what you are trying to be. I know you are not asking for my help but now you are getting it. I do not care if it makes you mad. I do not care if you hate me. I do not care about the pot, the crack, the crank, the pills. I care about you and the stuff you are doing to yourself and to the others around you. I care about hte kids and how they are watching you slowly kill yourself. I care about the defeat that I see in you and the fact you do not know how to help yourself. I care about the love I once had for you and the things I want the kids to see in you.
I know that you are going to think I am just out to get you or out to do something to hurt ou, but I promise this is all for you. THis is to make you better before you lose the things in your life that still have faith in you. THis is for you to know you can be better than that. I promise when it is all over with, you will see it was for your own good. ut even if you don't I will always know it is!

First, he is legally my dad but he wasn' t the sperm donor that made me. He came along when I was a little over a year, and though he didn't legally adopt me until I was 12, he has been my dad since I can remember.
He is this incredible man! He hasn't had a bad life or anything, but he has done some great things. Now I am not saying I have always or will always agree with the things he says or does, but overall FANTASTIC!
He went into the military right out of high school. He has been to all these different countries, Japan, France, Germany..... He has worked the same job for the last ten years. He has been with my mom forever, though they are now divorced. He still comes to stay at her house on the weekend (yes a little twisted I know) and I do believe he has never gotten over her. He has never moved on, but he has gotten smarter about being with her.
Why all this sudden talk about my dad?
Well last night he came into town with his brother from Connecticut that we haven't seen in like two years. I watched them play dodgeball with the kids (his one, mom's 11 yo and my two) and I saw this man as he is.
Yes he is fifty and refuses to go to the doctor even though I have tried to convince him the stuff on his arms is skin cancer. Yes I have seen the man do more drugs in his life than I ever should. Yes I know how he feels about gay marriages ("it would be like being allowed to legally marry a mirror" I know dad) and he would be shocked at the amount of gay friends and gay relationships I have had.
But he is just a man. He isn't the superhero I thought he was when I was 7. He isn't a ten-foot tall giant that I thought of when I was small. He is just a man trying to do the right thing in his life like all the rest of us. He is trying to hold his family and his life together the best he knows. And for all of this I love him more. But then he did the ultimate thing I have ever had anyone do. He gave me a mask I made when I was in my group home all those years ago. He had saved it. I was amazed!!!! So I asked him why and he simply said that is the way you see the world and I liked it.
So dad I talked about you the whole ride home. I told the kids all of the things you have done in your life. I told them the way you moved here and left your family behind because you wanted to do what was right for us. I know you aren't anywhere near sainthood, but in my book you are there. So please stop working yourself to death with those 60 hour weeks, the money isn't so important. Go to the doctor, we all need you here a little long. Don't worry about talking to us, we know what you mean without the words. And you will always be my superhero!
P.S. I didn't tell them about the fact you still take care of Zach though he is your ex-best friends baby. I'll let them figure it out on their own.

Spring is definately here and it is wonderful. After the tornadoes that came through over the weekend I am so thankful for a day I can get out of the house. And the boy is back at school! I swear if I could do cartwheels, I would today!!!
Not that I don't love him being here, it is more just I have two big papers due next Monday and I don't get much done when I am doing the mom thing. I can get a lot more done if he is at school. I was late taking him today. Some days I just want to lay in bed and this was one of them but I didn't. I got up and took him! But now I have to take the little one to the park and I can work on my paper there.
It is only about 10 and it is already in the 70's. I can not even begin to imagine what the rest of the week will be like. I am just loving it when it is nice but you know not too hot. I hate the summer and winter, though there was no real winter to speak of here. Most of this winter it stayed in the 60's so I cannot complain.
Ok I am just babbling, but I guess that is some of my "disturbing" nature (LOL) coming through! I just love days like today, where it feels like everything is perfect and you just know it is going to be a good day. I mean it is just in the air that nothing is going to bring me down today, no matter how hard these people try. I am free to just go swing with my daughter, work on a paper, draw a mandala and write about stuff that I want to. I cannot begin to know how I know it is going to be one of those great days, but I sure do.
Jamen is in here pulling on me to go with her to dig, so off to get dirty I am going!

My mother decided to call and tell me how wrong it was for that man to say all those things when he knew nothing about her or my lovely sister! You are right, he didn't know the half of it, so
Here you go Mom, this is for you :
Dear Lisa,
I know that your life was shit. I have heard all about how I ruined it for you. I know how wrong it is for me to judge you. I know how you gave me life and did the best you could. I know how Nay has had it so hard with that sorry ass husband of hers and all them rotten ass kids. I know that it is wrong for someone to interrupt your "dis K parade" but shit happens!
Here is my thoughts on it though if you are so inclined to get my opinion:
I didn't ask you to sleep with some guy you didn't know and get pregnant at 15 anymore than my kids asked the same from me. I didn't ask to be a sick baby. I didn't mean to see too much of your sex and drug life and get old enough to form an opinion on it. I didn't mean to "disappoint" you because I am not as thankful for you as I could be. I feel bad for the fact that I am no longer drawn in by your guilt trips, because now I laugh at them. I am really glad I didn't hurt you too bad all them times I kicked your ass when you though I was your punching bag. I don't know where I am suppose to fit in to this life or who, why or when all the things are going to happen. I do know that I am doing the best I can for my kids and myself. Is that it? It isn't all to make you happy anymore? The best thing you did for me was leave me in another state with a man that raped me often. When I finally got out of there I was prepared for the man who beat my ass every day. I was prepared for the group homes where I got to be all alone. You did me a favor and for this I thank you. I thank you for giving me the exact example of how not to raise my kids. Oh I am not perfect but I have never left them, I have never called them names and I have never hit them. So you have made yourself the stepping stone to get better and trust me I am going to step all over you to get better than YOU!
I feel for Nay because she will never be strong enough to get away from you. More than that I feel for the fact she is just like you. I cannot save her from you like I once did. It is her job to save herself now. If she enjoys being you I hope she enjoys when her kids are just like me. Welcome to the world baby! If you want to fuck them up together, than don't be so surprised that both of your kids are coming to me, wanting to live with me. I will take them and show them how to get over you. I will teach them it is you that fucked up not them. ANd they will come back strong like me. Where will that put you? Without someone to push around anymore.
As for me caring about you after you are gone, why would I do that? Just because you are dead doesn't make you a good person. Just because you can fool others I can see through your manipulation. You will not go to any heaven, you will go to people just like you. And I will be there to haunt your dreams. You are two faced, a liar, and over-dramatic if it helps you to accomplish what you want. You are so twisted. I hope one day you can overcome these things, get you some help, and become the parents that each of your kids need. It is too late for me, but some of them are still young and they may be able to forgive you and forget about it.
As for me.... I forgive you. I forgive you for all of it. But I will never forget and I will never let you do it to me again.
All my hugs to the kids! Babies I will save you one day,
K

"It takes 46 muscles to frown but only 4 to flip 'em the bird."
Life is back to normal almost. The boy is back to school tomorrow and it will be back to me and the monster girl during the day. I got to bed sometime after 4 this morning back up at about 7:30....shew what a day! Anyways we go off to the store for some food and what do ya know? There are stupid people everywhere! They are just racing these little cars in the street. So I say "Jackass, don't you see there are babies?" To this, the man acts like he is going to get out of his car and kick my ass! Well honey, bring it! If you think you are big enough to fight with this slightly crazy, over emotional, and practicing ass kicking mommy, go ahead and get out of your car. Well I think when he saw I was not going to run like a frightened little woman, he changes his mind. He instead rolls down his window and says to me "I am sorry ma'am." Now that is more like it. So I say to him "I am sorry that you don't have enough common sense to go to the track (which is 5 miles away) and do that! If my kids get hurt because you lose control of your car, I am going to lose control of my temper and it will be a mess." "I know ma'am we are going" Hmmm....now that is more like what it should be like. Quiet all around here due to the amount of children in the area. I know he was in his early 20's and was just showing off to his friends but I do not care. Babies!!!! Get a clue, and grow up already.
"If you haven't got anything nice to say about anybody, come sit next to me."

I hate to have to do holidays with the people I am blood related to. There is no purpose to it for me. I spend the whole time feeling out of place and there is always an argument. First of all the arguments have to have people to take sides. Then it isn't really like there are "winners" involved. The kids end up hurt and so do most of the people involved. The argument for yesterday had to do with money..... now I am not a money hungry person, but this is over a $1000! That is a lot to anyone but especially to someone who lives off $579 a month. And it all came down to a cell phone bill that is going to cause mine to get cut off. I have had mine eight months and have yet to miss a payment. I put my sis and her husband on my account and there goes my credit out the window. Not to metion the fact that I will have to get my cell cut off. All because I tried to help them with the fact their credit is shit. Now I know why it is. So I am going to be fucked, and all because I tried to be nice.
The moral of the story:
Family will fuck you worse than enemies....
The next part of the story is that my mom is an ass. She and Nay sat around talking about my right in front of me. (Now don't get me wrong, I don't care what they think by any means) They talk about how I think I am better than them (I'm not better than anyone, I just have more self-respect and don't feel the need to be a drama-queen) They talk shit about the way I am too open with my kids and don't take care of them to their standards (these are the same people who flip and whoop their kids to the point DHS is called. Oh and MOM didn't you lose your kids to their dads? I on the other hand, never have)They talk about the fact that I brought a guy way out of my league and "what am I giving him to come" (nothing, that is the joys of weighting less than 200 pounds, or well 150. You guys should try it sometime, it is good! You can walk and breath at the same time WOW!) The funniest part of it was when the guy out of my league says to them "I came with her because I wanted to see the elephants.....oh and well I didn't believe her when she said that her family was amusing. But you guys are the funniest people I have ever meet. Now I know why she stays round you. So she knows where she came from(as he looks at my mom) and where she doesn't want to go back to (as he looks at my sis). I can see why she never talks about you and always talks about lori. Lori looks like a God compared to you devils!" It was great and on that note we scooped up the kids and out the door we went. Now I know it didn't effect them, other than to do the poor pitiful me routine, but it made me feel better that someone knew I wasn't always the "bad one" (my mom's name for me).
Even funnier than that was the look on my dad's face.....He looked so pleased because he will never have the balls to stand up to these evil ass women on his own. The look said "Thank you for the back-up" and I went over and hugged him and say "see ya next week Daddy." All he could say was yep and nod his head. Maybe he will finally get the courage now that I (or well HE) did. I sure hope so.

My sister had said a few weeks ago that she was pregnant. I was not so much happy for her, due to the fact that she had just got on meds for her bi-polar. Also she has three kids by three different dads by the age of 21, not one by her husband. Plus her husband is out of work. They just bought a new house they can barely afford. I mean if you look at that all together a baby right now is not a good idea.
Well yesterday I find out that she isn't pregnant ("false alarm" she said) but that they are "trying" to have a baby!!! Trying is just about the most ridiculious thing I have ever heard. If you can't afford to pay your house payment and your $300 cell phone bill, then why try to have a baby that is going to cost you way more than that?
On top of that honey, you have a serious mental disorder that you just got out of the hospital for a month ago. They just got your meds straightened out. Why mess thay up, throw your hormones back all out of wack all for a baby you can have a year from now? When you are stable and things may have calmed down in your life?
I can tell you why....she is an attention junkie! She likes to be the center of attention at all times. You know the kind, the ones that make up stuff and cry often so people will pay attention to them. The kind that will have a "nervous breakdown" but refuse to do anything about it because people pay more attention to them when they are "breaking down." On top of that, her friend of the week is pregnant and they think it would be "cool" to have babies atthe same time. Since when do people have babies because it is "cool?" She was raised by my mom where I wasraised with Gramma. That made us too very different people though we are twins. She has had to deal with my mom, who is the same (attention junkie), so I can only imagine the battle for looks and love they have had to go through in that house. I know that I should not judge or blame her for the things she has done, but if she sees the mistakes in her past why repeat them?

So I get a phone call yesterday but I wasn't home. I got home and it was on my caller ID. It said Dickson County Jail, but it might as well been flashing bright pink neon "SETH." Oh Seth, what have you done now?
Seth is the wonderful sperm donor who helped make my son but had no part of raising him. Now I am not bitter because as far as I am concerned it is better he didn't. He had a choice to be a father or leave us alone. Well he choose to leave us alone. I think it was the best choice. He is abusive and he is a drunk. He can be a wonderful man, if he is sober. He can play with the kids and I think he even changed a diaper or two. But when the anger and the alcohol came together, it was like he was just uncontrollable. He can be such a sweet guy. He can smile and it lights up the whole room he is in. He has a charisma about him that is so wonderful. Now all this good talk about him might be percieved as loveto some, and yes I guess I do in some such way. I have a son that looks just like him and I know what a good guy he can be without the drinking. But he has let the drinking become part of every minute of every day. It isn't him anymore that I love. It is the idea of him. The idea of what he was and can be. But as for me and him, that has been over for a few years and it will never be again.
SO why is he calling, right?
Well, when he goes to jail he calls me. It is to let me and his family know where he is. I am really close to his mom and we spend a lot of time together, though it has been over a year since I laid eyes on him. Also we send letters back and forth, due to the fact that I know how lonely it can be in jail. I mean, I know he needs something and that is all I can do for him.
I never talked to him. I have realized it is not my place to be the one to take care of him. I love him and want to help, I will write him letters, but as for running up my phone bill not gonna happen. Sorry love.
*My son knows who he is, even though he doesn't see or talk ot him very offten. I keep pictures of Seth in a photo album, so Isaiah can look at them anytime he wants. I have kept every letter Seth ever wrote to either me or him, so Isaiah can know about him when he gets older. He knows that Seth has gone to jail a lot and he knows that Seth is his "father" though he has a very different man he calls daddy. I have tried to make it so there are no secrets in our house. I want him to know he has more family than me out there and that the last name he carries belongs to others as well. My concern is that my son will end up like this man. I worry that even though he isn't around him and doesn't see the things he does that I will be getting these same calls from a jail in a few years and it will be both of them there. Seth didn't know his father his whole life, yet he ended up just like him (a drunk who is in jail more than he is out). Is this the pattern that will repeat? And if so, what do I do to prevent it?

HYPOCRISY: Feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not; the false assumption of an appearance of virtue or religion -The Merridan-Webster Dictionary
I have a few basic rules I carry for myself (there is a point to this, just wait) :
1)I will alway be honest, regardless of the who or why involved. I know that at times this may hurt some people"s feelings but I feel like they would rather me be honest (and maybe gettheir fellings hurt) then to lie and get their feelings hurt worse because I lied and they found out the truth anyways.
2) I will not cheat. I think it is better to leave then to stay and let everyone get hurt worse. If I do not like what I have in my life, than I have to leave in order to change it.
3) I refuse to be a hypocrite.
My mother asked me if I was going to go to church with her tomorrow. Now this, to the normal person, is no big deal. But I am not normal and I do not go to church. She gave birth to me and ,though she left the job of "mom" to someone else, should know this. So, as you can all assume, I said "No. I never go church." She says to me "It is Easter." SO?! I mean what would make her think I would go to church on Easter, just because it is Easter? Did she really think I was going to give up all that I believe because it is Easter? And she had the nerve to get mad at me because I am not going.
Well I am not a hypocrite. She, on the other hand, is the biggest one I know. She wants to preach the Ten Commandments to me but is breaking some of them herself. I mean the woman moves the guy she is sleeping with in to MY house so she can see him, while she is still living with my dad. (I let this happen because I needed the roommate for the extra help with money at the time. Sorry Dad!) She bitches about my music being around the kids but will smoke pot in the house with her kids there. I am not judging her for these things she does, as I do not want to be judged (even though she does a very good job of judging me), but that all seems to go against her religion. I am sure the people at her church would like to know these other details of her life, while she is in there doing her "Holier than thou" routine.
I am not going to be going to church at Easter, at Christmas or any of the ones in between. That may be wrong to some, but would you really want me there, ready to scream out how uncomfortable I feel? I imagine not. I would rather make a few mad at me for my lack of faith than to compromise my own values. They may not be perfect values and they may not be the right ones at times, but they are mine. I would not ask her not to go to church on Easter or at any other time.
I am sorry Mom it is not ging to hppen for you. Believe as dad does. When I am ready, I will go.

Hmmmm.....I am suppose to be sleeping but instead I am thinking.....thinking of something someone said not directly to me but to what I write.....here is what was said:
"Never seen a site where someone wallows so much in self pity... Life is what you make it and doesnt have to be THAT bad."
I believe it was also called "disturbing" and "interesting" and what was the other thing you said? I believe it was that "shit happens" right? There was more, wasn't there? Oh I remember.... "people have it worse than you" and that it was "selfish" I think is the way you said it. Well here is my response to you:
Thank you Mr. ? (I will leave your name out for the fact it isn't needed) for your wonderful opinion. As for self pity, I am not sure I see that here. It may be interesting and even disturbing to some, but they do not have to be a part of who I am or what I am saying. The wonderful thing about eyes is you can open them, close them, and look the other way with them, if you don't like what you see. Shit does happen to everyone and I feel for those it happens to. There are plenty of people worse than me and I am sure if you took the time to ask anyone who knows me, you would find I try to take the time for those people when I can. I may speak my mind and I may get down at times but I bounce back better than ever. I do not feel sorry for myself, because I have a good life. I have my own home and my own car. I have two wonderful kids. I have a school career that I am making two A's and a B in. I have a few great friends and a few more great people I have meet that I am starting to consider to be friends. As for being selfish, last I checked this is my place to be as selfish as I want to be. This is not for you or anyone else. It is for me to vent and talk in a healthy (yes ask any therapist this is healthy!) manner. I can be me without the titles or the roles I have. (Was that the problem? I didn't fit into your role for me?) When I am being a mom, I am a mom. When I am a friend, I am a friend. And when I am here I am me. That is why I made this and that is why I will continue to be here, writing what ever it is I wish to say. Who am I taking from that makes this selfish?
I want to thank you though for your opinion. I mean I would be wallowing in self pity if I was in my late 20's, still living at home with my parents, worrying myself with the thoughts of others when it seems that I clearly have issues I need to be working on my own. I mean if you find me disturbing, I would hate to see how you react to the "real" world. Sweetie, there are a lot more disturbing people than me. Trust me I know some of them. We sit around and are disturbing together.
Oh and one last thing, if I may.... are you so offended because I didn't respond in the sweet thankful girl you would like me to be? Did it bother you I didn't just take your advice and turn my life around the way you would like? Or was it the pure fact you got scared? Scared of what, I can here my friend asking..... scared that people are deeper than you would like to think. Scared of the fact there are people out there like me. Scared of the fact that you got close to someone like me and didn't even know it. Hmmmmm......I guess we will never know.

Aren't these the cutest pictures you have ever saw in your life.
I believe I have traded in all my other addictions for the addiction to babies and
I do believe it is a worse addiction to have

I found these things to be inspirational to me or at least they have, at one point or another, made me think. So here again I will share with you the quotes that make me think and I love....
Oh and since it is my space I have some things to add or a few people to aim them at.....SORRY!
It takes three to make a child. e. e. cummings
(To my kids, it only took me and you and you to make the three of us and make us all into children)
To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. e. e. cummings
We pay just as dearly for our triumphs as we do for our defeats. Go ahead and fail. But fail with wit, fail with grace, fail with style. A mediocre failure is as insufferable as a mediocre success. Embrace failure! Seek it out. Learn to love it. That may be the only way any of us will ever be free. Bruce Barton

Humanity I love you because when you're hard up you pawn your intelligence to buy a drink e. e. cummings
Unbeing dead isn't being alive. e. e. cummings
Life is wasted on the living. Douglas Adams
Life is something to do when you can't get to sleep. Fran Lebowitz
Don't take life seriously because you can't come out of it alive. Warren Miller
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest. Confucius
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. Socrates
When I can look life in the eyes, grown calm and very coldly wise, life will have given me the truth, and taken in exchange - my youth. Sara Teasdale
And I have to say this one came to me the other day and I love it. I say this to people all the time, even my kids when they are doing things I don't like. I think it is the most truth I have heard in a while!

Due to the fact that someone I respect opened my eyes (yet again) I am going to edit some of the things I said in the last entry. To whom ever you are:
Thank you for the things you said. I appreciate them. It was a very nice thing to say to me. I meant by the last thing I said that you may want to look at the women in your everyday life and see them too. I am sure the are pretty great and you should see them as some of the best too. If you choose to see me that way I am thankful for you. I am hope that every journey you may make in your life fulfills what you seek for it to.
I, on the other hand, think less of myself than people seem to (just another thing I need to work on). I have a hard time taking compliments from people and I have a harder time believing them. But you may see what others may not so I yet again may not be right.
Hugs to all of you on your way.....
K
P.S. Paul you are always right and I am starting to not like that! It just goes to prove how I may never win.....LOL! You always open my eyes to thing that I refuse to see. And for this I am grateful for you too! Hugs to you all....K

| You were never a failure. You accomplished more then you realized. You are the best woman I've ever met. |
I do not like anonymous people! Not that "he" said anything bad, but it makes me worry. Do I have a stalker? I get a lot of these messages from people I have no clue who they are. I could answer this to one person but I am not sure if it is the right one so I am going to just answer in general. I think I know who you are but if you do not tell me than I am not going to answer you specifically.
I am not a failure. I am a knower. I know the things I cannot, will not, have not, should not, could not, and definately am not going to do. I know the times I have failed those close to me due to one thing or the other. I know where I have been and maybe even a little about where I am going. I know what is at the end of certain paths, though I am not completely convinced it stays the same. I know that the things I have done are a part of me, just like the things I have yet to do. I know there are people I cannot save. I know I am strong in the face of emergencies, but fall apart when faced with such small things as a flat tire in my own drive-way. I know I am a good mom, though not always right and by no means perfect. I know I make good grades in school, though I am not sure it is by the effort I put in. I know I am caring when I feel like it, an ass when I don't and every trait in between depending on my mood. I know I talk too much and voice my opinion a little strong for people, especially my family (but family is what you want not who you are related to, so not for my "family".) I know how to do the hell out of some laundry, and have even mastered not making all the clothes a funky shade of pink. I know that at dinner time it is my responsiblity, even if I have the stomach flu and feel sick all the way through it. I know that when I put my kids to bed at night they are just mine and I don't have to share them (ok a little selfish but hey....if you walk out you don't get them. Sorry!) I know that hospitals, doctors, schools, baby sitters, and all of the rest of the parent things lay squarely on my shoulders. I know I love every minute of these things in my life, though I may feel like I am going crazy and am the most alone person in the world. So you were definately right. I am not a failure, I am just a person who knows what they are and who they are trying to be.
As for being the best woman....I am no such thing and I do not appreciate the idea that I am. I am good enough, but best is a little extreme. I think you need to get out more or look at you friends. I am sure that you have women way greater than me around you if you look around and see. You should not take forgranted the ones in front of you for the ones in a computer screen. (A that is meant directly at you. But the point still stands).
Hugs K

I know I seem to be a little dark today, but it is the mood of the day. My daughter has a fever and I am scared. I am worried about her. I thought we were doing so good, six months on meds and no more problems with her kidneys for now. But then last night, she was back to the same baby who couldn't use the bathroom and curled in a ball from the pain. I don't like to see her like this.
Now it may not be a full blown kidney thing, but it is something. I feel like the meds aren't working anymore. They may be, I just don't know. We have to go to the doctor later and we will know for sure. I am just not sure I want to go. If it is bad, I am not sure I want to know. If it is ok, ya know normal baby stuff, then I want to know. It is just the waiting and wondering that iskilling me.
Well I am hoping in a little while things will be back to the normal everyday with the monsters back to driving me crazy and me loving every minute of it!

I had to take my little baby to the hospital. She is sick and I can't help her. That is the worst feeling I have ever felt. I am utterly useless. I am the most unknowledgable person when it comes to my own child. The best I can do is to talk to her. So here it goes. Remember she is three.
This is the talk we had:
Mommy: Hi baby girl.
J: Mommy I sick.
Mommy: Yeah baby I know
J: I got a boo-boo in my tummy
M: I know it. It is a big boo-boo. Does it hurt?
J: Nope they put medicine in my arm. And I not sleepy.
M: Hahaha I know you aren't baby. You are never sleepy.
J: Is Dora on?
M: Not yet.
J: Can bubby come here? He has my money.
M: What ya need money for?
J: I wanna buy a baby.
M: Buy a baby?
J: Yep I saw they had 'em in da window.
M: What do we need a baby for?
J: So it can come home with us.
M: And why are we taking it home with us?
To this my monster baby showed up....she politely rolls her eyes.
J: Mommy so we can love it.
M: Well they have their own mommies to love them.
J: Ok
She kind of dozes of due to the meds she was given so I cry. Well after about 30 minutes she wakes up. And we are off to another talk.
J: Mommy ya scared?
M: Just a little....are you?
J: Nope.
M: Oh really? Why not?
J: Bubby will tect (protect) us.
M: He will?
J: Yep. He tells me all the time he will tect me when there are scary stuff.
M: What does he do to protect you?
J: He tells me about them and then he talks to them.
M: What does he say to them?
J: He tells em I am a big girl but not so big and if they wanna scare omone(someone) they gotta scare him. Hims bigger and he won't be scared.
M: Well he is the master scare slayer. So what do you think we should do?
J: Call bubby. He will come take care of it.
Yet again we depend on my son to take care of things. But then again he is the best man I know. So we call him and sure enough nanny and papa bring him to the hospital. We had to sneak him in (hospital policy) but he sure did scare off the monsters in the dark of my daughter's tummy. At least for the time being. We laughed and he talked to them. The next day, they let her come home. She is still sick and I still don't understand it. But I know one thing my poor kids don't: there will come a day that he will not be able to talk the monster gone. And the monster may crush us all. Do I tell them now or do I wait until it happens? I know it will cause her to lose faith, him to feel like he failed and me to be a nut case. Am I suppose to be the monster that crushes us or do I let it be the disease? I guess we will all just wait and see!

I am going to apologize to everyone this one time in one big letter. For you that know me well, I am not good at this. Please don't get confused. I am not apologizing for the things that I am doing.....I am sorry for the way it is going to make you feel.
To The EX: I am sorry you can't see past your own addictions to see that you are hurting your kids. I am sorry I am having to go to the extents I am to make sure you do not ever get them. I am sorry that once upon a time I loved you but that I could never save you from the demons you have inside of yourself. I am sorry I gave up on you, me and us all in one day. I am sorry I forsaked you for the kids but they are innocent and they will always come first. I am sorry you can not control yourself. I am sorry you will never know what you missed. I am sorry for all you never see. Above all of this I am sorry for the things I cannot, will not and have not gave you. I hope you find your way and you live to beat these things you have let overcome you.
To D: I am sorry that I can not love you good enough. I am sorry you do not feel the need to be loved or be loving towards anyone. I am sorry for the things you have saw in your life and the things you refuse to see. I have but one thing that I can say to you. CLOSE YOUR EYES SO YOUR HEART MAY SEE!
To Lori: I am sorry I never know the answers. I am sorry I was not there and that I may never be there. I am sorry you love so completely and hurt so fully. I am sorry for the times that you needed someone and you were alone. I am sorry for the times Seth was an ass. I am sorry he made you choose to be his mother or be his enemy. I am sorry your marriage was a failure, (But really who needed him anyways) I will always be around for the faith in humanity you need and the middle of the night cries that we have.
To Isaiah, my dear little boy: I am sorry for the times I let you see. I am sorry for the times I have made it so hard for you. I am sorry for the things you don't understand, but trust me I do them for you. I am sorry your dad is in jail. I am sorry I have let you save me way more than I can ever save you. I am sorry for the times I am going to be gone when you need me. I am sorry for the ways I may fail you. I am sorry for all of this and way more I can not even begin to know about right now. I am sorry I am not perfect and I make mistakes. Fell free to correct me at any time.
To Jamen, my miracle girl: I am sorry I can not stop the disease inside of you. I am sorry I have failed to save you. I am sorry for the hospital stays, and the needles. I am sorry for all that your little body is hurting you in ways I cannot begin to understand. I am sorry I can never take your pain. I am sorry for the times I made you make up for the kids I lost. I am sorry we are not free. I am mostly sorry for the things you may never see and the things you may never know. I am sorry I have lost faith in the recovery and lost faith in the system I will work on it for you. I will try to believe you will get better.
To the God of others religions: I am sorry I will never make you a part of who I am. I am sorry I find you to be bullshit. I am sorry that you cannot bring about those miracles everyone expects of you. I am sorry you are dead to me. Most of all I am sorry for the things people think you are and the things I have found out you are not.
One last apology: I am sorry to anyone who reads this and is offended. I am sorry that you cannot see that this is about me and my life. I am not saying anything about your GOD or your problems. I am saying this of mine.

I love it when people ask me qustions. I love the fact that I may, at times, know more than the other people around me. Now to be nice to these people (and because it is the truth) I will state that it happens few and vvvvvveeeeerrrryyyyy far between. I know that when it comes to the people around me, I am just reliving what they have already been through.
My best friend, who is years older than me, is the one I run to when I feel the world falling apart, but here lately she is calling me for advice. I never have advice but girl I can listen like nobody's business. And I can tell my opinion on just about every subject available to the waking world. But I do not know if that is advice. That is "talking shit" "talking out my ass" or just plain "runnin my mouth" Now anyone who knows me knows I can comment on anything. But yet again it comes back to the fore mentioned things. But advice that is credible is beyond me. I mean is there such a thing as credible advice?
So the abundance of questions thrown my way in the last few days have thrown off my economical place as well as my class basis. By this I mean the classes of people as in The Ones Who Know, The Ones Who Ask, and The Ones Who Pretend To Know. I have always been one of the latter two but now my status has been lifted to The One Who Knows. And my already slightly swollen head has grown a little bigger.
So here is the answers to the questions I have been asked:
1. What are men thinking? *Depending on age the answer differs. The ones that are barely legal are thinking of sex cars and toys. The ones that are older are thinking of sex, women, cars and toys. The ones that are just plain grandpa material are thinking of women, cars and toys. I think they may throw in kids, jobs and friends from time to time. Other than that they think of what ever comes in their line of vision and holds their attention for the moment.*
2.What is your opinion on kids? * If you are over the age of thirty, they are great. Go ahead and have them. If you are under the age of thirty, DO NOT DO IT!!!! It is the hardest thing you go through, and it is best to wait until you are stable. On the other hand, it is good to have them when you are young enough to run around after them. So it depends on what you want to accomplish in your life before your life is choosen for you by someone that is not old enough to say their own name.*
3. When do you think is the appropriate time to break off a relationship? *Hmmmmm....well again it is based on individual circumstances. If (s)he is kicking your ass everyday, now would be a good time. If (s)he is cheating, do you think they will stop? It they can, then try to get to the bottom of it and work it out. If they can't. kick their sorry asses out the door five minutes ago!*
Other than that I am not sure. I think if you have a specific, get to asking, if not than quite bothering me! *kisses* I love ya'll!

I got asked today where my favorite place was. well this is it. I love the beach (though I will not go in the water) and I love sunsets! So this is where I choose.

This is where I go during my meditations, this is what I see when I am putting up walls and blocking out the world.

Now that I got that last posting out of my system, I am free to go back to my normal self!
WeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHoooooooooooooooooooo.............
I am happy happy happy!
I am suppose to go to class tonight but I feel like I am not going to go. I mean it is really just a study group and there is no point in being there. I love taking these on-line classes....I am free to do them completely naked, in the privacy of my own home, at midnight. I mean who can ask for more when it comes to school?
So they arrested a three year old for trespassing along with his father, and three older brothers and sister. How crazy can this Schivo case going to get? They were trying to bring water in to the hospice to bring Terri water. Now the father planned this, but them cops put all those kids in handcuffs and took them down to the station. I can not believe the things a father will make a child do to prove his point. And a point that has nothing to do with him. This is a family problem and the family need to come to an agreement. Not these extra people who do not know and were not there.
Wah Wah Wah!!!!!! Do you remember how the teacher in Charlie Brown talked? That is the sound.....and it is my fav! I say it when I am feeling bad, feeling good, when I don't want to hear it, when I am skipping the boring parts of a story (you know, "I went to the grocery story. Wah Wah Wah. Just the normal everyday stuff" I skipped over the 20 things I did, but you got the point there was more.) Try it sometime! It will drive your parents crazy, it does mine!

These are the things that I would rather not let out into the world. These are the things I would like to keep inside and let others fend for themselves. These are the things I am sure I knew better than to do, yet did them anyway. These are the things that have made me who I am and I am glad I cannot change. These are the things that people want to hold against us. These are the things people are "going to tell" if I don't do as they wish. And these are the things I am going to tell first because I am not ashamed. These are the things I am going to let the world know about because it is me. SO to HIM (you know who you are): Here. Go ahead and use them. But always remember you can not take from me what I give freely. So freely I give these to all......HA BITCH!
1. Yes I did drugs and a lot of them. The X made me slutty, the Coke made my nose hurt, the Tabs made me cranky, the Pot made me stupid, the Whiskey made me fight. If I forgot one it is not because I am ashamed of it. It is because in the course of all them drugs I fried a few brain cells and may not remember.
I gave up all thes drugs years ago when I got my kids. Yes at times I want to use, I want to put myself back into the feeling of free, but I look around and I am free. I have everything I need and I have what I choose to get for myself. How much more free can you get?
2. I am certifibly crazy. I have been so for the last 12 years and I am loving it. I may get depressed, I may have cut myself in the past, I may self destruct, I may contemplate death unhealthily, I may get sad at the wrong times and cry over huggie commercials, I may even take my kids to the park at midnight so I can swing. But above all these things I try to show my kids that I choose to live and become at least partly sane for them. (For those of you who do not know, I say a lot "Living is harder than dying. Living is work while dying is just letting go") I take care of the things they need and a lot of what they want. I fall apart on my own, and have never let them think it is because of them. I have let them know it is healthy to be sad as well as happy. I let them know it is ok to have a problem and to admit to it.
3. I may not have a mom and a dad. I may not have "family" in the terms that people think of family. But
"Family isn't about whose blood you have. It is about who you care about and who cares about you"- Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
And I have just the right amount of that. I have a girl who loves me and helps me when I am breaking down, who I can call no matter when and she will drop it all for me. I have two wonderful kids that I know need me. I have a guy that listens and loves me unconditionally, when he is not having guy problems. They are family to us, and we all love each other. So no one needs your mommy and daddy. No one needs you life the way it is.
4. I have had relationship problems. I have got my ass beat by my son's father more times than I care to count. I have slept with girls. I have got into relationships that are bad for me. But not one of them have I let over take me. Not one of those did I not learn from. isn't it better to go through the bad and get to the good then just think it is all rosey all the time and be blind sided by life?
And lastly you can not have them. You cannot use these things against me. I know what I have done and who I am and I am not ashamed. You can not make me feel as if I should give up because of the things I do in my life. I learn and grow. I become more of what I am suppose to be. Can you say that about you? If you are happy with yourself, why try to destroy others? Next time you look in that mirror at the end of that line, tell me who you see. DO NOT FUCK WITH ME!!!! I AM MEAN..... and *smiles* I win!

"Hearts will never be pracical until they are made unbreakable"-Wizard of Oz
From what I understand some of the people I worry about/care about are having relationship issues :missing someone, don't have someone, or have the one that is already taken. Well due to this I have taken it upon myself to make a questionaire from the new people we meet to make sure they meet our high (and slightly crazy) expectations. So here ya go:
1. Do you love your mother? Explain.
(If they love their mom too much they are a mama's baby,if they don't love her enough, they are women haters.)
2. Do you like to argue? (This is important if you are like me and have to be right....you need to know their argument potential.)
3. Are you unlovable? Why/whynot. (You would be surprised at the amount of people who feel they are, but you need to know why. It may be something you need to work on together. If they are over confident in themselves they may just keep you around to boost theirselves)
4. Tell me what you consider to be a good amount of time to be loving when we are together. (This is especially important. If someone wants to be with you but they don't "feel the need to be loving" you need to know before you put your heart in and then get hurt when they don't want to be touchy/feely too)
5. What is your longest relationship? What made it last? (You need to know if they go for the serious or just for the here and now. Also if you are competetive like me, you know what the record to beat is)
6. What did you like about your ex? (Too much and they are still in love)
7 What did you not like about your ex? (Too much and you know they will be talking the same kinds of negative about you in their next relationship)
8. How and why do you want to love me? (This is the question that you wil always come up with in the middle of a fight? The "why are we together/ why do we care" is what can make or break a relationship in trying times. You need to memorize this answer so the next time you are both feeling like it isn't worth it you can remember. Also if you ask this question every few months or so, you can see how your relationship is growing and changing by the way the answers change.)
This is the next questionaire I am going to be handing out ot all of my potential loves. I want the answers up front not in the long term. I want to know if it is worth the risk or not. I have been through the song and dance enough times that I feel like the risk is never worth it. But for the sake of my kids, who deserve to know that people do love each other I will try again!
