Im so damn angry at the moment, that I would give my freakin right arm for an uzi right now... *growls

After 12 days, I had to return home to help Amy out with her wedding at the end of the month. Ive been forced, by the freakin step-family, to do a juggling act with Pop's safety and welfare in one hand, and my daughter's need for her Mum's ( Read more... )

This has been a week of incredible ups and downs, and at the moment, I don't think I could be any further down ( Read more... )

Dear God.... this has become an absolute living NIGHTMARE.... my brother and I rushed my Pops to the hospital here Monday morning. He was admitted to ICU with a blood clot in his left leg and in one of his lungs. We found out there that my step-brother Tom took out a power of attorney over my father in June and is insisting that he make all the ( Read more... )

Sometimes it's important to try and put things in perspective, and as I sit in a hotel room, up the road from my Pop's, I'm finding that hard to do at the moment. The last couple of weeks have been stressful... to say the least.

Sometimes work can be fun and exciting... even when you are hawking oil for a living. Case in point, was my day this past Thursday.

To that end, I need to take a breather from my journal and take time to clear my head...

Hugsssssss to my friends.... you're all in my thoughts....

Love does NOT give you a license to HURT...
Love does NOT give you a license to STALK...

Love is kind and caring...  it is warmth and comfort during times of difficulty....

Love is only Love when it puts the safety and welfare of the person you love FIRST and FOREMOST...

I don't know how to put this more succinctly... *shrugs

I've been hit by many emotions since Amy told me she was getting married but, lately, I've realized just how much I miss my Mum. It's been 22 years since her passing and everyday since I've thought about her and how much I miss her. I think losing a parent is one of the hardest things we will face during our lifetimes and at special times, such as ( Read more... )

Last night reminded me that Mother Nature can be a truly awesome force to be reckoned with. This part of Ohio seems to be ripe for summer tornadoes, and last night proved it once again. Several tornadoes touched down in the area, including one right up the road from where I work... as I watched and listened to the weather guy shaking his head of TV ( Read more... )
