I got a new tattoo!  It is directly beneath the fish at the top of my back, and it fits into the semi-circle underneath them.  It says 'Maddox', and it is in the same red henna color.  I love it.

In other news, I am so unbelievably angry.  I am tired of being treated terribly.  Maybe this time my decision to be done will actually stick.

And P.S.  Maddox started teething yesterday.  He is not quite 2 months old (Tuesday), but I think he is already sick of being a baby.  He will learn.

I wish I left more of a record, had more to look back on.  Things that I thought would always be fresh and vivid memories are all fading much too quickly.  I want these to be fresh, not just for the memories' sakes, but also for the future's sake.  To look at how I've changed, to be able to learn from previous situations, to be able to teach my son ( Read more... )

My mother's intuition was obviously more accurate than Dr. Vice's ultrasound machine.  The baby is a boy.  :-)  Any ideas for a middle name to go with Jackson?

 It's a girl!!  :-)

 Wow.  It's been about 45 years since I've been on here.  That's just a slight exaggeration.  Anyway, I'm home!!  Home in OS.  Going to JC, working at the hospital, growing a baby lol.  So hit me up if you're home.  Because right now I'm thinking OS sucks. 

wow. i really haven't been on here in forever. i guess just a quick update. maybe in list form? i think so.

my life is crazy right now. i have 2 lives that don't mix. one i no longer wish to have any part of, but it continues to beckon. and it's hard. i don't want it, i don't need it, it's not good for me. but it is still a big part of my past, a part that at one time was the most important thing to me. but now i'm living another way completely.
