I'm sitting here listening to my young one hack and cough, wishing she could get all that gunk out of her lungs and get it over with. I had a freaking cough, and still have it, and it's been over 5 weeks now. But mine's gotten fewer and far between coughing jags. People keep asking me: Have you gone to the dr yet? No.. no I haven't. Why? Because.

I am so happy! I got a visit from two people I haven't seen in 2 years and Oh so HAPPY. It's sad why they are in town.. a death in the family.. but I am so glad they came. She put Jaguar spots on me in henna. :D I should take a picture and add it to this post later. I just may do so.

I have had them. In regards to what, you may ask? Let's see.. knee jerk reaction when someone says: This is how it could be. Knee jerk when someone mentions a mental health professional, or drugs (the legal kind), or behavioral issues. Or when someone says something that smacks of 'odd'.

I guess I could go into details, but speaking of ( Read more... )

To explain that last post of mine..

So, I was getting ready for work, and my significant other pipes up with this comment: "I think we need to stock up on ammunition."

*blink blink* Where the hell did that come from?! I mean, seriously, out of the freaking blue. Ammunition?! So I ask why. The reply: "I just read that California isn't ( Read more... )

    It's a nasty thing being afraid of the world you live in. I feel fear.

 Do not want to hear about this stimulus package and how it's not going to help. Do not want to hear how those people that were elected to watch out for the rest of us didn't even read it all the way through. Do not want to hear how we've been let down, yet again, and how they (The people in "charge") are down to the expectations of the pessimists ( Read more... )

It is very strange for me to hear a 9 year old talk about 'the good old days'..but that very thing happened to me.  9 year old was yapping away, then says: "Do you remember the good old days, when we would do (blah blah) and (blah blah)?? I miss the good old days."

Quite frankly, the 'good old days' of which he speaks is just last ( Read more... )

        This remained blank for a good long time. I've got so much going on in my head, it's a little hard to pin anything down. I've been thinking about my family, my friends, my job, my health (both physical and mental), my city, state, country and world.

Let's start with this one: How can I tell kids that an education is important if ( Read more... )

    What am I supposed to be writing about? Talking about me isn't very easy, and telling private things that anyone can read can be dangerous. So I guess that's a clue as to 'me'.. I'm a little jaded and cautious and suspicious. I hate reading or watching or hearing abou the news. It's depressing ( Read more... )
