Naps. They are a little piece of calm, peace in the stormy sea of life. There is little that is more pleasurable than sinking between soft sheets and warm comforters. A semi-dark room, a noise machine and a kitty purring on your hip...as close to heaven as one can get while here on earth. I love naps. They distract me though, they wreck my night- ( Read more... )

You want to do everything you can for your child. You want to give her every single thing she wants. You are willing to work and toil for hours just to see her smile. You work to give her good food, a clean & fun home, great memories...not to mention a good education and upbringing. You put your needs aside to fulfill hers, you sacrifice to give ( Read more... )

I know millions and millions around the world are having a much worse day than I am. But you ever have one of those days where just everything goes wrong? Talking about any one of those things makes you sound like a crybaby but when you add them up, well, makes you just want to go back to bed. And so here I am to write all the little crappy things ( Read more... )

Navy life means moving. I leave friends behind (and vice versa). I am used to it and in most cases it doesn't bother me ( not including Scott, you know I miss you!!)...but one friend in particular tugs on my heart strings. I miss a friend I left behind in Pensacola, her name was Val and she was the best friend I have ever had (other than my ( Read more... )

 
Wherever do I begin? :D I started a post about a month ago and some computer fluke erased it before I finished and I just didn't have the energy to start over. I am using Karl's lap-top and I can't tell you how many times I hit the wrong key and *poof* I'm shutting the system down when I just wanted to send an email. Give me a clanky huge desk ( Read more... )

Do you ever feel as sexy as a slug?  As sexy as Angela Lansbury in a Depends commercial?  That is how I feel right now, at this moment.  I hate going along, everything is fine and then someone makes a comment that knocks you off your feet. 

Being comfortable alone with myself is something I have always strove for.  I want to enjoy my own company and I don't want to HAVE to rely on other people to make me happy.  I want to be one of those people who don't NEED others.  I guess ever since Karl tragically dumped me for being "too needy" (That was 9 years ago, Nicole, get over it already ( Read more... )

There was an episode of Cheers once where Woody said he would take all his negative feelings and cram them into the pit of his stomach, when it would get full he would just cram them some more.  Sometimes I feel like I do that, like one of these days all my repressed emotions are going to explode out of me.  I'm just hoping they don't take someone' ( Read more... )

My two main sources of annoyance in this world take two forms.  One, a pint sized little powerhouse named Emily and a large 80 pound furry beast named Charlotte.  The first one starts at bedtime tonight, it is the same ol' battle, she won't stay in the damned bed.  I wish I could make sheets and PJs out of velcro.  I put the child to bed at 8:30 ( Read more... )

I hate having PMS, I hate feeling weepy, I hate feeling like a raw nerve and that I can cry at the drop of a hat.  The older I get the worse it seems to get in return.  I went over to my neighbor's house yesterday and she had company.  She said they might be coming but then said she thought they would cancel.  Well, I felt like it was a very chilly ( Read more... )
