Its been almost a month since my last post.
Life is throwing many curve balls, but so far Im dodging them
on a regular basis
Quick run down...
The trash is cleaned out
Men off to the dump
On my own two feet again
Standing strong
Thank you to my dear friends, with out you things would be more wayward.
So, random thoughts now
Ive been readin O magazine..
Dr. Phil wrote a good article that made me do some inner searching
on what it is that bring people to me. Return for more. To want to associate w/me.
Good question. Ive often pondered why I cant seem to get a date, why I cant seem to
keep a man. Why I cant be happy with the cards that life has dealt me.
Well, Its not that I cant shuffle and real deal, as Ive tried that, but more along the lines
of trying to keep my "poker face" and just keep on rolling and just accept what I have no control
over. Or do I have control over it and just dont realize the control that has been dealt to me?
The control is w/in our own being, on how we deal with the people around us, accept what is and just keep on moving.
I have control of my life, I have the control to say no, to correct the mistakes that have been made, learn from those mistakes, and better the circumstances. I have the power to better myself, to better my life, to better all that is around me.
Alot of that comes from the types of people that you associate with. To associate with those that really truly care about you, really truly want to see you succeed, that really truly love you.
For those friends I will always, forever have gratitude for and will NEVER be able to repay their kind words, kind actions and loving arms that have helped me to move forward when things were at an all time low. You know who you are, and I dont always say it but Thank you from the bottom of my heart for EVERYTHING you have done for me.
A.P.P. = a little more soul searching - from the Dr.Phil article (he may be a quack, but he has some good words)
So, Ive been trying to determine how to boost my personal confidence. I have always thought of myself as a non bullshitter, a take no BS kind of gal. Straigh forward, honest and maybe a little hard assed. But am I?
I had a guy tell me that Im just an onion. Someone with many differant layers and at the core there's the real me. The one that I dont necessarily allow people to see. There are few that have seen the real me. The one that actually feels, crys, hurts, has feelings. I think out off all my friends and acquantices there are maybe 6 that know the true me. The one that I keep hidden from the rest of the world. And why do I do this? Because from past experiences. I allowed circumastances to choose the path that I would walk down. The path that I would determine on who to become.
So, do I change who I have become? Or do I expand on who I am today and make myself better? Change does not come easy to anyone, so I have decided I will expand, and make who I am currently a better person, a richer person, but not just monetary, but personable, loveable, caring. All the things that make me a better person, a better mother a better human.
So, Im taking a personal inventory... A.P.P
Appearance = Im not a swim suit model, Im not perfect, but Im not ugly. Look for the positives that the outside world sees... what I believe are my "bonuses" ... so here we go....
1) I have pretty eyes
2) I have a nice nose
3) I have great boobs
Ok.. thats it.. sad.. gotta work on that
Presence = my energy.. my spirit.. hmmm... do I radiate when I walk in a room? I dont think so, but I do get noticed, I walk into a crowded room, I do see people turn my way.. but why? what is it? My dont fuck w/me attitude? The way I dress? Confidence? Im not sure, I have to dig deeper and really pay attention.
However presence also is my listening skills.. do I listen attentively (thinking work here now) do I give my impute do I act knowledgeable? Yes.. I do believe I take my job very seriously. I give my inpute and I am knowledgeable concerning my position. I love my job!!! Not many can actually say that about there work. I counter act w/my coworkers well (Im pretty sure)
In social gatherings.. how do I act? am I a wall flower? NO.. thats not me at all.. do I mingle w/just those that I know? (depends on how much wine Ive had) seriously.. what am I like in social gatherings? Of course the alcohol loosens me up, but over all, I like to think that I am approachable. Or am I?
Personality = I liked the way Dr. Phil stated Personality.. "We all have a way of being in the world" interesting.. so how do I live my life w/in this world? Im me.. and thats that. I refuse to change the way I think, the way I react. My thoughts are my own. I am my own person, and I make the choices for MY life! I love life, I love my children, I love those that love me in return and I give 180% to those that show me in return the same respect that I show them. I laugh, I cry, I hurt. Just like anyone else but how I choose to show it, feel it is probably differant than you choose to show or feel, thats what makes us all unique. Thats the great thing about society. If we were all made the same this planet would be very boring. I can not be all things to all people. I am me... just me.. nobody else
I argue, I may not agree with what you say or your thoughts on current social circumstances, but hey.. thats ok. Im proud of what I have accomplished to get where I am today, and yet, I have so much more to accomplish and complete before I finish my time on earth.
I will not allow anyone to control me, what is the point there? Who do you become then? A puppet, pull the strings I will wave when you tell me to wave? No, I dont think so.
So.. in the end.. I am proud to be who I am... and I will just get better!!!
Peace everyone.. and thanks

Reflections
2005 come and gone
Looking back over this year I realize I have been thru so much and yet I still have made it through.
I clearly remember Jan 1, 2005 midnight, standing on my friends front porch, drinking, talking, and arguing, as we all get together there is ALWAYS an argument. Thats what friends do tho. They argue, laugh, cry, glare, tell each other like it is. Anyhow... The argument that night was over my friend S, wanting R (yep..my ex who is still living w/me) at the time he and I werent dating, but anyhow S wanted R, however she is married to his best friend.. LOL.. oh..the good times.. S's husband heard her say how HOT R was, and the shit hit the fan from there!!! LOL... it was so long ago, that it just seems so surreal!
Jan.. my boy turns the big 11!!! He's a New Years Baby... on this day 11 yrs ago he was born, first baby boy of this county... beat by a little girl at the other area hospital by an hour
Feb 2005 - 2 trips to ER w/my son... one where he pieced an old bicycle together and went down the side of a mountain and since there were no breaks on this beautiful bike, he used his face as the stopping mechanism....into the side of a TREE!!!! This was Valentines Day.. thats how I spent my V-Day..sitting in ER w/my boy... R brought me a dozen roses... that was sweet
then at the end of Feb.. my son says his arm hurts.. I take a look, and he has a little scratch that he didnt bother to tell me about that has gotten infected.. to the point of blood poisoning..
Back to ER as its a weekend, I.V. drip, overnight observation.. yep.. year is starting out grrrrreaate!!!
April 2005 - W shows back up, and takes me for another ride... and basically cleans me out.. I loose so much..
summer months were good months, nothing to complain about, all was going well,
River rafting.. my daughter almost's drowns... she's a good swimmer, she's wearing a life vest, river is really calm, then all the sudden we go around the bend, and there's the freakin rapids.. actually, they were mild rapids, but my girl went off course and got stuck in a nasty little rapid by a fallen tree she figures she can just jump off and walk to the side, until the under toe grabs her... scariest moment of my life.. I jump off my tube and try to "run" to her.. hi..you cant run in moving water!!! finally get to her, grab her, yank her up by her hair..literally... and drag her to the side.. we sit.. we breath, and then both of us decide "forget this" we're walking back!!!!
end of June me and the kids get a new place, and move in.. and then here comes R & W.. damn Im to nice or something... then again, I understand what it's like to not have a place to lay your head at night, and I understand not having somewhere to call home, been there done that, so I let them stay... what was I thinking????
October... I turn the big 33 & my baby girl turns the big 9..
November... I get notice from my son's school he's flunking out of the 6th grade..
turkey day I get the flu..
December... Christmas... gawd I hated this year!!!! Not in the jolly spirit, not in the spirit..
Please let 2006 be better..
There are so many other things that happened through at 2005, but some are so personal that I just dont wish to share at this moment.. Raw wounds that just have not healed, some very evil things that I have done, some moments that I need to apologize to others for.. some issues that I just havnt come to grasp with yet... but all in all..Stick a form in me.. Im done!!
My wish for all of you... May this upcoming year bring you love, happiness, and a bright light to lead you when life gets dark. To succeed at all that you set out to do, and to achieve all that you wish to accomplish.
But most of all.. may this year bring you good friends, as nothing is more important than having a few good friends to dry your eyes when you cry, to hold your hair as your worshipping that porcelein god, to laugh at your stupid jokes, and to be able to sit in utter silence and still not feel alone!!!!
Happy New Year Everyone!!!!

Crappy Christmas
4 day weekend.. let me recap
Friday
Fred Meyer, shopping w/my daughters father (whom my whole family hates but we are still friends) my brother is walking towards us, he looks at me, I look at him, and he walks straight by, doesn't say hi or nothing.. just flat out ignores me!
ok... now I realize they dont like W.. and thats fine, its a big huge world we all live in and not everyone can get along...but dont dis-respect me and just flat out ignore me..
Whatever!
So family Christmas Friday night, up at my other brothers..
it takes my oldest brother (the one who ignored me) 4 drinks, before he even acknowledges me.. now...long story short, Im the blacksheep of the family... cuz I dont tow the line like everyone else, and I live by my own rules and standards.. I apologize family of mine if I dont follow your rules.. but Fuck You.. I dont have to..thats the beauty of living in a Freeworld!
Anyhow..Family party.. it was ok, except that R (my ex who is living w/me) calls my brother before I leave and ask's if he and his daughter can tag along!!! Can you believe that? If you were wanted there, you would of been invited.. I just think that is rather tacky to call and see if you can come along too... just me maybe?
that night was the longest 4 hrs of my life
Saturday
Actually went well, went to a friends house to have Christmas Eve w/her and her family..she's like my adoptive Mom, since my mom lives on the East coast I dont get to see her much ( I really miss her from time to time) but Vinnie & her husband Bobbio (like Fabio) have become surrogate family to me, and I really appreciate and respect them so much... we had a great dinner, a few margarita's, built a fire in the back yard, and relaxed..what a great day.. hung w/surrogate family and friends and had great food, great conversation, good times..thats what the Holidays are all about
Sunday - Merry Christmas Everyone.. WTF????
well..it just wastn Christmas for me... first off, my son wasnt there, he was w/his father
and this is the first Christmas in 12 yrs he hasnt been there... so that put a damper on the day (as he left for his dad's Saturday night)
and my dog wasnt there... that put a few tears in my eyes
However.. my beautiful daughter woke my ass up at 5:15 am!! oh yeah... get up Mommy, she did however turn on the coffee pot before waking me up.. good girl!!!
I held her off until almost 7..
however, her father would NOT wake up.. of course.. he didnt stroll in until 3 am on Christmas Eve night.. but that's a whole differant story.. (he lives there too, see previous post's for more info)
so fine.. my baby girl and I opened up presents all by ourselves.. just Mommy and me time. then we made breakfast for the both of us and sat down and watched a Christmas Story... 24 hr run baby on Christmas Day!!! aww yea!!!
Her father finally gets up around 9:30 - at noon he decides he's going to his friends house, understandable.. thats fine.. Im thinking he will be back shortly.. he calls me at 6 that night and invites me and our daughter over to dinner at his friends house (whom I cant stand) um.. no.. um... Hi.... Im cooking a turkey, which he knew, he helped season it that morning...
its Fucking Christmas, to spend w/those you love, admire, cherish, LIKE, respect and generally want to be around.. not to spend it at someone's house whom you cant stand!!! Ooops..my bad..
he comes home around 9:30 and is pissed at me, because I stood him and his friends up..
My response to him.. well.. honey.. you stood up your daughter.. because once again, your selfish ass is more concerned about you & your egotistical/self centered/asshole friend... I guess that was wrong of me huh?
Monday
Another day off, and her daddy decides to go fishing.. so he leaves at 4:30 am, and wanders home at 6ish.. as my 9 yr old is asking for the last 2 days, why her daddy isnt home.. how do you answer that? Well baby, because he's concerned about one thing and one thing only.. that's himself, has been for the 20+ yrs I've known him.. but you learn to deal w/it and get over it honey...
and again..he doesnt understand why Im pissy about it....
Needless to say, Christmas is officially over at my house, I had the tree torn down, all the decorations put away, and boxed and sealed, back into the garage w/in a matter of 2 hrs...
Time for a new year, that better be brighter, bigger, and better, because if its not..
me & the the 7 wonders of the world are going to re-establish the "Dont Fuck w/me" rules again... cuz I cant take much more..
Im tired...
I need some GOOD & POSITIVE in my life
So...
Happy Holidays' to all
and To all.. a great life!!!
Im out~~~

Thank you to all
I want so say thank you to all of you for the support and loving and kind words that I have recieved.
Your kindness and support have ment so much to me and has really helped me in these last few days. thank you so very much!!!
So I had to go to the pet store last night, to get the Ferrett some new toys and treats for Christmas (yes, he has his own stocking so did Oscar)
Anyhow.. I didnt think it would be so hard & so trying... PetsMart allows animals there, and so people bring their dogs, cats, whatever into the store..and there were a couple kitties that needed new homes.. oh so precious... ...that I almost came home w/a new addition to the family. Luckily.. I stopped myself, and realized.. I was just trying to replace my beloved dog, and he isnt replacable.. so.. I need to mourn some more, and really start acknowledging the pain...
Im off tomorrow, Friday as the company is closed same w/Monday.. we are getting a 4 day weekend.
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!!

Goodbye my dear friend
I post today with a saddened & heavy heart today
My puppy was hit and killed by a car this morning, just as I came around the corner to try to stop him. He was 9 months old, had not had a chance to live long enough on this earth to know what its like to run in the surf of the ocean, to chase a squirrel in the woods, to camp in the woods w/me and the kids.
Thankfully he went quickly.
I pulled him off the road, and to the side, fell to my knees, he lifted his head, looked at me and licked my hand, and then went into the powers that be.
I will forever remember him. He was not only the family dog for a few short months, but he was my friend. He was my 55 pound lap dog, who loved to sit in the recliner w/me on my lap, loved to sleep next to me in bed, as long as he had half the pillow, loved to go for car rides, loved to be just loved. He was there for me to talk to, knowing all my secrets would forever be a secret, he loved to bounce around the house and play tug of war w/the old dish towel. He loved his bones, I constantly was stepping on half eaten dog bones hidden in shoes, hidding in the kid's bed's, hidden under pillows on the couch.. everywhere..
I will be reminded of you over the next few weeks as I clean up your bed, and remove your favorite toys. I will forever miss you and will forever love you.
The gentleman that hit him, thank you for stopping and thank you for your assitance and kind words. I do not lay blame on you, you are not at fault. Oscar wanted to play with the dog across the busy street, unfortunently, your wheels were quicker than his legs.
To you my dear friend... Thank you for the few months we had together...
God Bless Our Pets
They say memories are golden,
well, maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again.
Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Who the hell is Murphy?
Well I have officially lost it!
Murphy's Law!!! Who the hell is this Murphy character? I swear, he has been having the best laugh of his life at my expense.!!!
The last year of my life, has been one large practical joke after another.. I swear, things have been happening to me that shouldn't happen to one person...
But the topper to the year.. is what happened this morning...
I got out of bed early... (which is a miracle in itself)
I got ready...
I got the wee one's up, got them ready, with a minimal amount of arguments, fighting, picking on each other. Got them breakfast, got the deadbeat off the couch, got him moving, headed to the car... Its 7am!!! OMG.. Im actually running ON time.. That's right.. ON time..
Mind you, Im driving a total POS!! ITS NOT MINE.. But anyhow.. Im driving this POS, but it runs...so whatever..its just a car...minivan to boot..
and I go to close the slider door on this beautiful piece of junk..................
and.. the fucking door falls off!!!!
Thats right.. falls off... its hanging there...
I look at my 12 year old.. and I quote "What the Fuck?!"
yep.. I said it.. to my son.. I was in utter shock, amazement, awe!!!
the door is hanging there, and there go all my thoughts of beating traffic, getting them to school on time, me getting to work on time, and being able to stop for a double mocha!
Gone.. poof.. no more.. and all I could do was laugh...
So Im standing in my driveway, holding onto a door, and laughing hysterically... cars are driving by, and Im just standing there, in 30 degree weather, laughing hysterically, tears are running down my face... kids sitting in a the car, car running, just laughing.. what was I suppose to do.
So, I wait until 8ish... call the call dealership that this POS was purchased from.. and say.. hi, so&so just bought this POS from you, and um.. yeah.. the slider door fell off... Now, here is the intelligence of used car's salesmen...
"Go ahead and bring it in, and we will fix it!"
um.. hi.. I think its a little illegal to drive a car w/a missing door.. what do you think?
and yes, I did ask him this...
He says "Pop it back on"
yeah.. sure.. no problem.. um..how do I do that?
Men & Murphy.. they are related creatures you know..
so me in my wise sarcastic wisdom, tell him that I will pull the crane out of the garage and go ahead and bring it in that way, would that work for him?! He doesnt reply.. niiiiiice!!! Asshole..
ok.. hmm..now what..
I make some coffe.. turn on the cartoons for the wee ones, step outside, have a smoke.. and start laughing some more.. and I cant stop laughing.. hysteria is close behind... 8:30 am.. and Im losing it! Get the straight jacket ready, clean the padded Cell.. because Im on my way!
Finally get ahold of a friend to pick up the kids for school (my son is already late) get ahold of a co-worker to pick me up on her way to work (Thank you J, I love you & she brought me my double mocha.. thats a friend )
and R shows up, calls me at 10, and says.. I got the door on..
thank you for that...
So, its Murphy's Law, as the morning started out perfect, things were ON time, car started, kids were happy.. jingle bell's was in the air, and Murphy just flipped me his finger, and poof.. the goodness is GONE!!! ASSHOLE!!!
So, Im gonna fly to Ireland, find the pub that he's sitting in, and Im going to dump his mug of Guiness all over the top of his wee little head..
then Im gonna throw him on the ground, and kick him, stomp on his head, and spit on him...
Because this aint fair...
Ok, Murphy.. you got me..
If I promise to not fly to Ireland and beat the shit out of you.. will you leave me the hell alone already.. I give up.. you win... You are the victor!!!
So, Im hoping that 2006 will be better, as I cant take much more..

Inner Voices - they are making my head hurt
The throbbing inside my head just wont go away... all I want is to wake up in the morning stress free.
I have so many voices in my head today..well actually they have been there for the last few weeks, I have kept them mainly quiet by ignoring them, but every now and then, one pops out and tends to get me in a bit of trouble.
They wear many differant hats, Red for anger... green for jealousy... blue for envy.... white for laying down and doing nothing... and brown for the depression....
but lately its the red hat man that keep's rearing his ugly head...
The anger inside of me is a slow churning tornado, spiraling uptowards to a level 10, the most deadly and dangerous tornado that is out there, and when that happens, its blackout time... everything and anything w/in its path will be lost, destroyed, torn down and thrown away.
It scares me... but I can feel the anger just coursing through my system... just ready to explode into a million fragments and unleash itself on the unsuspecting...and then what? After the destruction you have to rebuild....and that take's compassion... understanding....loving hands...and a whole lot of forgivness... I dont have any of it in me.
the other hat men raise there heads too... (green) jealousy comes along for the friend of mine who gets everything handed to her from her grandfather... her mother... and then complains that there is no money and has to "borrow" from family again... (w/out having to pay it back)... (blue) envy for those that are always so happy... that have all their shit together, and dont have to worry about where the next payment for the power bill is coming from...envy for those in my life that actually smile and mean it, and are not just putting on a happy face for those around them....white, doing nothing.. to just lay down and sleep, and at times wish to not wake up...to just let things pass me by and go away, to leave me the hell alone! To just let me be!
Depression... goes right along w/the white hat... depressed that Christmas is around the corner, and so what? I tried to turn over a new life for Christmas... to embrace it, to acknowledge it, to like it.. but its not happening.. Depressed because of LIFE...
All my hats belong to me... they all make me up to be who I am... but the one that scares me the most is my red hat... ANGER is a dangerous and powerful thing, and so much evil comes out of ANGER... he is cruel....vindictive...powerful....
So.. please do not take it personal... I am containing him the best I can, if I unleash on you, just leave me be, I will come around...and I will apologize... or just pretend it didnt happen...
Someday, I will be back to the happy ol' jolly self that I should be, that I know I can be, that I will be!
Im just tired... just so tired..

Friendship
I got this idea from another blogger today, and actually, I have been thinking hard on how to say "Thank you" to a few friends who have recently come into my life, but have showed me in the short time that I have gotten to know them, what truly makes a friend.
There is an old poem/saying, that has been circulating for quite awhile, but I have it posted on my wall at work... this hits home everytime I read it....
People come into your life for a reason, season or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.
Reason......
Its is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance & support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an inconveinient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die, sometimes they walk away, sometimes they act up & force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on
Season......
Beacause your turn has come to share, grow, or learn, these friends bring you experience of peace, or make you laugh. They teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelieveable amount of joy. But only for a season.
Lifetime.....
These relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is clairvoyant.
So thank you to all my friends through out my life, for those that have taught me valuable lessons, have been there to hold my hand when I needed direction, held my head and wiped away my tears. Found their way into my guarded heart and have stayed there through the good, bad and the ugly.
I will never be able to truly thank you, but you know who you are and please know.. that to me you are there for me for a Lifetime... and I hope you will always be there.
I love you..

Tis the Season - So be happy damn it!!!
Thanksgiving came and went this year, 7 days off from work, and I was down and out with the wonderful flu.. I have never, in my life, hurt so much and been so miserable.. I would go thru natural child birth to not have to endure that again, at least w/child birth, you know it will end soon. with the flu, you just wish to die... to not have to endure the pain, the agony!!! Oh the agony..
Christmas is fast approaching, and this year, I am actually going to embrace the Holiday and be thankful for what I have. I know, this shouldnt be something new, but in years that have come and gone, I never really have embraced Christmas, I have always dreaded it. Granted, this year (like most) will be a small Christmas. But I am actually going to attempt to remember what the Holiday truly means. To me, its not about the birth of Christ, as w/most. Because I was raised w/a differant religious preferance than most who may read this. But I am actually going to do a few things this year to make this Holiday better for me and my family.
1) I will be thankful that I have a home
2) I will be thankful that I have my children (no matter HOW much they bug me for and IPOD)
3) I will show my kids, that Christmas is not about what you recieve, but what you are able to give (i.e. love/comfort/support/kind words)
4) I will not allow the affect of others w/in my home to be a downer upon myself (read previous post's and you know there are other idiots living w/me at the time) ( D - I took in a couple homeless guys.. I dont suggest it)
There will be more added to that list, sad that I can only come up w/4 things.. I know there are more, I just need to put more thought into it.
I have always wanted to assist w/the homeless situation (no T & J I wont bring anymore homeless people into my home) but I was thinking, to show my children that things at home are NOT as bad as what could be, maybe assisting at the local soup kitchen, helping w/serving or arranging a food drive. Something.. there has to be something.
Ok.. Thank you to everyone who reads this and comments, I look forward to the comments and the reads... and I hope everyone has very Happy Holidays!

Step up onto my Soap Box
I do apologize for not checking in sooner, but life has been a jumble of confusion and mass irritability.
Bear w/me, as I jump up on my Soap Box & poor me attitude.... ok.. here it goes..
Im a single mother of 2 beautiful children... 12 & 9.. Im 33 yrs old, and have a hell of a time making ends meet. I work fulltime, which actually averages out to about 55 hrs a week, and do my best to show my children about honor, honesty, hard work, achievments, good decisions, so forth and so on. I make pretty good money.. I mean, not alot, but Im doing alright, and I dont recieve child support, as their fathers are ignorant/self centered/assholes..
With that said, I work and work and work to provide a home for my children to teach them right from wrong and to stand on their own two feet, so why is it, that I cant get any type of additional assistance from the state governmant. I pay into it, every payday, money is removed from my check to support those lazy ass individuals who depends on the state of Washington to support them. Yet, I cant get alittle additional help w/medical costs or food allowance. Im not saying that I deserve it, but I am saying, that yeah, I could use an extra $100 a month for food...
there are certain individuals (that will remain nameless) that sit at home, do nothing, watch soap operas, game show's, and Jerry Springer, just waiting for the beginning of the month to roll around so they can go out and shop. Yeah.. pisses me right the hell off! I cant get any assistance, as I sit here and watch my power bill raise due to winter, gas prices being astronomical, car maintence, food, car payment, house payment, ect ect ect.. yeah I know.. shut up V.. and just deal w/it.. thats life, you learn to live w/it, and then you leave the earth and carry on...
I was on welfare when my son was first born, back in 1994... I was still working, but just didnt make enough to support me and my son, Im telling you it was the most embarrassing thing in my entire life, back when food stamps were actual paper money.. before they put it on the credit cards that they have to day. But I remember the sneers, jokes, and disgusted looks that I recieved at the grocery store paying for my food, I recall paying for groceries, when a girl asked her mother what I was using to pay for my food, her mothers reply, "those paper dollars are for lazy people who wont get off their asses and work" Now, wait a minute!!! Um.. I was still working, my hours were cut down due to the time of year, I was living w/friends, but still had to pay my own way... so, needless to say, my mild/meek self just couldnt let it slide.
I turned, I looked Bertha up and down, and I ripped her a new ass... Have you ever walked a mile in my shoes? Do you have any clue WHY I may be needing assistance from the state? Do you even know a PIECE of my story? NO! you dont, so do not EVER pass judgment upon someone else until you know the real story, the history and they WHY's!!! So Fuck you very much! Buh bye now!!!
I know.. Im kind of contradiciting myself in this post.. however... I totally understand being on state assistance because of necessity sickness/disability(as long as its legite disability) family issues, no education, the real reasons... necessity.. because you HAVE to.. not because u want to.. I get all that..Im talking the ones who are just to selfish and/or lazy that will not get a job to do better for themselves.. those are the ones that piss me off..
Ok Ok.. big Soap Box..
Take care..
Peace

Another Week.. Another Dollar
Its Monday ya'll... oh joy fucking joy fucking joy...
Monday's suck... I cant wake up this morning, could it be because I was stuck here (being work) on a Sunday for 4 hrs. Granted its double time, but damn! its a Sunday I am overload, I feel an emotional/mental breakdown coming on, hell, Im gonna go commit a crime to just be able to take a vacation, I will plead insanity, and then I will get a 2 week stint at the local psych ward! I get a bed, 3 meals a day, that I dont have to cook, hot shower and lets not forget.. drugs... blissful happy drugs, all legal mind you. I would be ok w/all that!
Anyhow.. my weekend.. Friday night was a freakin joke..lets see, my daughters father and I got into a large argument.. nothing really new there, as we argue all the time, got home Friday night after taking the wee ones to a "sock hop/harvest festival" at the girls school, it was actually alot of fun.. any how.. got home, and W was, well, pissed off, is actually putting it mildly. He was like a Tiger in a cage who just got shot w/a 30/30! And, me being the bitch that I am, I started laughing at him.. he's ranting, he's raving, he's pissed, his head is about to spin around on his neck. And me, Im laughing at him, hysterically laughing at him and I cant stop. Now, word of advice, dont ever laugh at someone when they look like poltergeist K! K! In the 17 yrs I have known this man, I have never NEVER seen him this pissed off.... in all honesty, I dont remember what the argument really was about, except the fact that he wasnt getting his way, I really do believe he thinks that everyone should tow his line, and do his bidding.. well guess what.. um.. nope.. didnt do it when we were together, aint doing it now... but thats what the problem is, he figures that he's been dealt the shit deal in life, so therefore, those around him should cater to his every need. um.. let me think about this one.. Fuck No!!! DumbAss!
Well, the rest of the weekend, turned out alright, Saturday the wee ones went and stayed the night w/some friends, I was gonna go out and get my drunk on, as after Friday..I kind of needed it.. but, then I decided, I just wanted to spend the evening alone, curled up on the couch, and watch stupid movies..all by my wee little self, so I kicked W out, and R (he's the other roommate) told them to be gone, and I did! I sat home, ate like a freakin' pig, which I will pay for at the gym tonight, and watched corny movies. I watched my most favorite movie of all time. Hope Floats...
So just remember...
You just have to give Hope a chance to Float up.
Peace!

Friday night was a freakin joke..lets see, my daughters father and I got into a large argument.. nothing really new there, as we argue all the time, got home Friday night after taking the wee ones to a "sock hop/harvest festival" at the girls school, it was actually alot of fun.. any how.. got home, and W was, well, pissed off, is actually putting it mildly. He was like a Tiger in a cage who just got shot w/a 30/30! And, me being the bitch that I am, I started laughing at him.. he's ranting, he's raving, he's pissed, his head is about to spin around on his neck. And me, Im laughing at him, hysterically laughing at him and I cant stop. Now, word of advice, dont ever laugh at someone when they look like poltergeist K! K! In the 17 yrs I have known this man, I have never NEVER seen him this pissed off.... in all honesty, I dont remember what the argument really was about, except the fact that he wasnt getting his way, I really do believe he thinks that everyone should tow his line, and do his bidding.. well guess what.. um.. nope.. didnt do it when we were together, aint doing it now... but thats what the problem is, he figures that he's been dealt the shit deal in life, so therefore, those around him should cater to his every need. um.. let me think about this one.. Fuck No!!! DumbAss!
Well, the rest of the weekend, turned out alright, Saturday the wee ones went and stayed the night w/some friends, I was gonna go out and get my drunk on, as after Friday..I kind of needed it.. but, then I decided, I just wanted to spend the evening alone, curled up on the couch, and watch stupid movies..all by my wee little self, so I kicked W out, and R (he's the other roommate) told them to be gone, and I did! I sat home, ate like a freakin' pig, which I will pay for at the gym tonight, and watched corny movies. I watched my most favorite movie of all time. Hope Floats...
So just remember...
You just have to give Hope a chance to Float up.
Peace!

OH Sleepy Dreams..Where are you??
INSOMNIA!!!
I just wanna sleep, why cant I sleep?
My mind wont turn off
Things running through
Images flashing by
Did I pay that bill?
what's that noise?
The dop pacing back and forth
acting like a soldier protecting its home.
I have to complete that report at work
what's the time line?
Do I have all the information
Do I have all the proper materials
Are my kids happy?
Did I turn off the stove?
I should of stayed up later and done more laundry
I need a smoke
restless
anxious
non stop thinking
running
going
coming
leaving
what?
sleep....
relax.....
calm.....
deep breath.....
inhale...
exhale....
blank....
no thoughts.....
sleep....
just wanna sleep....
oh.. I have Vicadin!!!!
Nighty night!!!
sleep tight..
as snug as a bug in a rug!!!
ah... Finally... Dreams....

Rainy day's bring on the Downer Monster
I love the rain, why else would I live in the Pacific Northwest, however, there are times when I step outside and the drops from the heavens are still falling to the ground, that you realize there is a cloud hanging over your head.
Driving into work today, I looked over at an open field, that amazingly enough has not been bulldozed for more fucking housing, any how.. I see a dog limping across the field, thinly covered in the mist/fog, and as the dog come's towards the traffic, I realize, its a Coyote.... it stops, and looks, with its front paw bent up, a loan tan coyote, in a field, early in the morning, w/mist and fog surrounding it... and I swear, as I sat there at the stop light, and looked at the coyote, with the rain falling on my windshield, no radio, the kids were quiet, all we could here was the rain falling on the car, and the sound of the windshield wipers, and I swear, that Coyote and I had a moment... as we stared at each other, eye to eye, with the elements surrounding us, I heard him say.. stop devoloping my home! My family and I are being ran out, where will we go? How will I feed my children? What will I do, then he turned, and started back towards the thick fog, and w/one last glance over his shoulder I heard " Remember me, I too, am here, living, breathing and surviving" and then he disappeared among the fog, mist & rain...
Did I really see him? Did anyone else see him? Yes, he was there, the kids saw him and they too were just as memorized as I. And, then the light changes, and off to the hussle and bussle of the Monday morning commute and then I hear my son say, Mom..the coyote is heartbroken. You could see it in his eyes.
Yes, honey.. I know..
His day will come
He will be free
and able to roam where he's ment to be
all things come accordingly
and all things get what they deserve.
So mote it be!

Random thoughts
Do you ever wonder, what you would change if you could go back in time and change some of the things that you had done?
Wow, I have made so many mistakes and have so many transgressions that I should be ashamed of. But seriously... Would I change any of it? Who would I be today if I had not dropped out of school? If I had not left home at 14? If I had not seen and done some of the unnecessary evils that I committed through out those adolescent teen years?
Would I still be who I am?
Then again, exactly who am I?
Do I even know who I am?
Do you know who you are?
Seriously sit down and think about it, how do you view yourself?
How do others view you?
I like to think Im fair/compassionate/kind/caring/sincere/funny/smart
a non-bullshitter I guess.
I live according to the rules that I have made up out of my own life, I don't break the law, unless I feel its absolutely necessary (well except for my lead foot when I drive)
I don't steal/don't commit any heinous acts upon others.
Im a good person. Im a beautiful person inside and out
so over all.. its a good thing that Im me
and that all the things Ive done through out my life has made me who I am today.
I may not be all that book smart, but sometimes you will get farther in life having "street" knowledge, than book knowledge.
Whats your thoughts?

Monday, Monday
Its another fun filled day in the work arena..
My weekend.. nothing really to report
Went shopping at Costco.. they really need to change the name of that store, to something like, over $200 store, I can NEVER get outta that store under $200.. never fails.. and word of advice, never go grocery shopping when your hungry!! I bough crap that I dont need, nor do the kids.. oh well..
Saved a 7mo old pit bull from death, so needless to say, I now have a damn dog. Mind you, I love dogs, and I have been wanting one, but pits are NOT my breed of choice. But I couldnt allow them to put him down, long story short, he's an AKC registerd full blood Pit. He's adorable, Oscar the Cat Slayer is his registerd name. So what does that tell you?! So far, all is well, he's a lap dog, right now he probably weights about 40lbs, white/carmel color, good disposition, great w/the kids, hardly barks, but doesnt realize the strength & power that is behind him. Once he does, Im gonna have my hands full! And I thought the wee ones would be difficult. This would be one of those times I say "what was I thinking?"
In other news... my roommate (who's my ex) walked into his ex-wife's house to pick up his daughter, walked into his ex's bedroom (not sure why, not my business) and walked into a cloud of meth smoke. Nice huh? Anyhow, so he grabbed his daughter and his ex's other child and left, brought them to my house, contacted the father of the son (who has custody of his son because mom gave him up when he was 2 cuz she didnt really want him) and together they contacted CPS (child protective services) the local police wrote statements, and so forth and so on.
Now, this crack head is something else. I have known here for a few years and she is the most backstabbing/lieing/selfish/self centered bitch you will EVER meet. Not sure what he's planning on doing, as he has no way of taking care of her, he has no legal parental rights and he's sleeping on my couch for gawd sakes. But, nobody wants her to go to state care, so if push comes to shove I guess she could come to my house, however I would be the one who would probably be help responsible as R (the dad) is on probation and has a warrant out for his arrest as he's been neglecting his probation (can u say dumbass) mainly cuz he's been trying to take care of his job and daughter as I found out, he's known about this little drug habit for some time.
Stay tuned in for more drama... Happy Monday

Am I just a Bitch?
So, we have been extremely short staffed here at work, hiring freeze has been in full force, until finally management has realized that some of us have been working 12 hr days and working on the weekends. So finally, we get new-hires. Not FTE.. oh no, cant go there, but temps... to come in, do parts of our jobs, to make things easier on us, then they are gone... so we can end up working OT again.
So, I get myself a "newbie" I have to train her on a piece of my job, so she can pick up for me because Im covering 3 peoples position. So Im training, and I ask her a question if she had read one of our manuals and if she understood everything, cuz its kind of technical, I mean, Hi.. I work in the Telecommunications Industry for an SS7 provider.. we provide networking and database services across the world. Anyhow, I ask her if she was able to understand what she read and if she needed to sit w/Product management maybe to understand, ( I know for me, just reading the written word... Doesn't always understand, Im a diagram kind of gal) anyhow.. she looks me dead in the eye and says... " I do know how to read & Im a good reader"
K... um.. great.. Did I fucking ask you if you know how to read????!!!!
I mean, wow... Don't try to impress me, I don't sign your paychecks, but don't ever take that tone of voice w/me again and don't ever be so condescending. Must just be me, cuz it totally pissed me off.
Now, mind you, I have a rep around work of being a non-bullshitter. Im straight to the point, and could care less if I upset you or make you sad. Im not here to make friends, Im here to do my job, (which I completely enjoy) and get my paycheck to take care of whats mine. And Im damn good at my job, granted like everyone I do make mistakes.. but I will fess up and take full responsibility..and correct what I screwed up on. (doesn't happen often but it happens)
Where was I? So, about 3 min later, if that... I told her to go sit w/someone else, cuz she royally ticked me off and I just couldn't assist her anylonger..
So.. am I just a bitch? did I take it to personal? Or was she thinking that I was downgrading her
whatever.. I don't have time for this shit!

Damn!!!!
Ever have those days when you just want to be left the fuck alone?
I stayed home from work yesterday, as I have the worse case of bronchitas, and my co-workers are getting a tad irritated w/me for coughing and spreading my germs through the air ducts.
So, I left early Monday, and decided to say screw it, and stayed home yesterday. Well, I basically slept my life away yesterday after getting the wee ones off to school.
Last night, Im laying in bed, hadnt taken a shower, only brushed my teeth, feeling like death was standing at the foot of my bed, crookin' his wee little finger at me, saying.. "come here little girl, this big daddy wants to show you hell's kitchen" when in walks W... he's my daughters father who has been staying w/me.. he jumps on the bed, lays on top of me, and is kissin' my neck and running his hands all over me.
um.. hmmm....lets see.. WTF???!!!! I dont feel good, and I KNOW I dont look good, so get the fuck up jack ass!!! So Im twisting and Im turning, and Im bitchin' and its turning him on... dude just got it the other night (ok, so we aint together but damn that man can fuck!!! TMI huh?)
anyhow... I get pissy..then I go into a coughing fit, and so then he gets pissed, and finally goes downstairs.. he's gone for like an hr.... which is fine by me.. later!!!
So what does he do???? Are you ready for this? Are ya sittin down? ok.. he brings me up my favorite homemade mint chocolate chip cookies... and a glass of 7up... for me, he went downstairs and made me cookies.. cuz I didnt feel good... now is that a good man or what? It was so sweet of him.
So moral of the story..
Sometimes being a bitch does pay off...
All I wanted was to be left alone in my misery so I could die in peace. Is that to much to ask for?
Then the dumb-ass had to go and do something nice for me, so I couldnt even be pissy w/him? Yeah, I know..I should be greatful and thankful and whatever else.
Ok..I am... but again... what about me eating those few cookies, when I probably should of just taped them straight to my ass!!! haha.. more later
