I feel like I am the most spoiled person alive! I had a GREAT Christmas this year, and it wasn't that I got a lot of great presents, which I did -- but it was because I was surrounded by my family and it felt great! Kevin came over and spent Christmas eve with us. We had dinner and played a game and I really enjoyed it. The kids woke us up at 6 am ( Read more... )

As this year comes to a close, I have to stop and ponder just what the heck all has happened over the past twelve months and I have come to the conclusion that I would have never thought I would be at this place at this point in time! In fact, I would have thought I would have been at the totally opposite position than I find myself in today. And, ( Read more... )

You know - I am sitting here printing out pictures of cancerous lungs, lips, and the like (I know - what a way to spend the night) helping Kate with her school project and I should be finishing my Access homework. If I figured it out right, I am 17 points away from an A and if I can finish this stupid extra credit project, I can get up to 50 points ( Read more... )

wow - I am tired! just got back from a couple of days in Vegas... no, it wasn't pleasure and yes, I actually had to work while I was there! But, it was a productive trip and I feel like I actually learned something! that is always a bonus! Kevin helped watch Kate which was so nice. Really relieves the stress of having to leave knowing he is there. ( Read more... )

You know - this has been an emotional last couple of weeks. I have been feeling kicked to the curb with my mom and my sister... and come to find out, they have been feeling the same way about me. So why does it take me reaching my emotional break point for us to figure this out? There are only 111 days until the wedding... (insert hugh gasp of ( Read more... )

Some days it just doesn't pay to be human... that is if you want others to like you, and to be polite and kind and all those things you hear how people are suppose to act... LOL yeah right. And then you wake up and see that you are living in the real world where people live and love to bitch. But I am not going to spend my time worrying about how ( Read more... )

Ever wonder if people would actually blow up if they didn't vent by bitching? I know my mother would. She about blew a gasket because Theres and I went to the park to check out linguistics for the red ribbon - we were gone for about an hour - she even went so far as to lock the door because she was left alone. This was at 10 am. Then she got the ( Read more... )

It's Friday - it's Friday - go ahead and sing with me!! I can't tell you how damn happy I am that this week is almost over! Kate is suppose to spend the night with friends (woo hoo) so I will have an evening of peace and quiet - soaking in the hot tub with an adult beverage (Smirnoff green apple if anyone really cares) and playing footsie with Mike ( Read more... )

You know - you would think that your family would be happy if you were happy. I guess that only works in other people's family. What a crock of shit! I am sitting here ready to cry and for what? Okay - part of it is because I stopped taking my "happy pills" but the other part is that I am an outsider in my own family. First my sister drops the bomb ( Read more... )
