Life as I know it...

I was thinking on the way to work about the friendships I have had throughout my years on this big blue marble. I have a very small circle of friends and like it that way. People that I can safely say have my back and I can trust. I sometimes add to that circle but it's not often. Too much betrayal from my past prevents that. Everyone makes friends from the moment they step foot into school. Some friendships last through the schooling process. Most of them end. While I am not close to one man I've known since Kindergarten...I can safely say he is a friend. The friends we make in high school, I believe, are the ones who you will have a lifetime. Not all of them mind you but a select few will remain through the trials and tribulations of your life. While going through this thing we call life we meet people. Some stick around and become your closest friends and allies. Some stick around long enough to betray you, cause you to question humanity and your own choices. Most cross our ...

I seriously need to put a notepad in my purse, in my car and anywhere else I am. I had some fabulously fabulous blog thoughts today and do you know where they are? Well they certainly are not in my noggin. If they are in my noggin'...they are in the deep recesses. For the life of me I cannot remember any of them. School starts on Tuesday. Can I hear a "WHOOPIE!!!"? The kids are going stircrazy and their phone calls to me at work are driving me up a friggin' wall. "MOM!!! She took the remote. MOM!!! She won't let me watch my show. MOM!!! I sneezed and she didn't say bless you." It doesn't matter what crisis crops up...I get a phone call. Good grief I am glad school is starting. This mama needs a break!!! I'm feeling lost now that my layout is done. *sniff* I had purpose when I was looking for a cool layout. When fixing it to read how I wanted it to read. Now? Wandering and so lost in my little world. What is a person to do? I even changed the ...

See something different about my page? I'm sure you do. Whatcha think? Good or should I go back to the pink one? Thoughts?

See this? I'll be seeing the whole thing in 3 weeks...on stage...in Seattle. Jealous yet? I know I would be if I were you. ;) This will be my 3rd time seeing it. I only need to see it in NYC on Broadway and in London. Then I'll be completely happy. Well...if Gerard was thrown into one of those showing I would be ecstatic. :) A girl can dream can't she?

I don't care what the calendar says...fall is in the air and I'm thrilled!!! I have been down the last week with the summer cold from hell. I cannot even begin to remember when I have been that sick. I've been bedridden before but it was because of surgeries. Not a cold. Seriously!!! A COLD!!! Death would have been warmer than what this thing was. Miserable...completely miserable. I am now feeling 100% better than what I was last week at this time. Not fully recouped but good enough to go to work. I am so glad summer is almost over. The kids go back to school next Tuesday and life returns to normal. The only bad thing about that is my hours are going to be cut back a bit. Business tends to slow down from September until January. It's odd but that happens throughout this valley. Even when I was working in restaurants business went way down in the fall and winter. I'm not really complaining though. I'm only cutting back to short days on the days my oldest has voll...

I should not have gotten out of bed on Monday. Not one thing this week has gone well. I had a feeling with Tuesday being bad that the rest of the week was not going to shape into a happy fountain. Last night I was dealt a situation that has been typical of the household where my oldest daughter resides or in their words...visits....every other weekend. The SM chose to discuss something with my daughter when in all actuality it should have been brought up to me first. Since that lack of good judgement on the SM's part...I have been told by my daughter that I created the drama (which was created by the SM...not me), I need to grow up, I need to get along with the SM. Here is the clincher. She told me that the SM is a good person and is decent. WHAT THE FUCK??? Seriously. I needed to just say that. Her statement required me saying it full on and not just WTF. (SM = stepmonter. SD = spermdonor_ I have learned in the course of 2 hours that the SD and SM want to get along wi...

If you are an 80's child you will know that my title is the love song from "Tootsie". I'm sitting here surfing through youtube for some unknown reason. Maybe it's because I am bored out of my mind and taking a trip back to when life was much simpler helps me forget the things I'm facing now. I listen to this song and instantly I am transported back to my sophomore year. I was 15 years old, in a new school and life was full of teenage things. Dances, friends, boys and fast food that didn't take up residence on my hips. I've been talking to a man who was someone I dated (I'm using dated very loosely here) when I was in 7th grade. He was so cute then but I broke up with him. Dven then I felt weird about the attention he was giving me. I'm seeing where my running from relationships had it's origins and tender beginnings. He found me and contacted me a couple of years ago. I had not heard from him or seen him since my late teens. Now, ...

I have created a website , which was a last resort but I'm at that point. Please go look at it and send it along to everyone you know and urge them to do the same. Maybe this will finally get me on a road I need to be on and take care of my medical issues once and for all. Thank you sooo much!!!
