My life sucks ass and I am not sure how to fix it.

A) I hate both my jobs but I can't afford to not have them.

B)I need a new car but can't afford it without working two jobs.

C)I need desperately to go back to school. I have heard that if I go and get good grades for a semester, basically as an older student,people will pretty much throw grant money at me. I don't have the start up money to go back that first semester. I use my money to actually live on. I am also pretty sure that between my jobs I make too much money to get any sort of start up financial aid besides loans. I am not at all sure that I want loans.

D) I have no energy or will to do anything. I am constantly tired. I don't get restful sleep. I'm pretty sure that a depression of some sort is starting to set in but I don't have the money to see a dr. I can get insurance through my work but I have to pay a large portion of it. To do that I need to keep the part time job that I no longer want and frankly am beginning to despise.

E) I have no interest in hanging out with anyone. I just want people to leave me the hell alone. Which they are starting to do since I am oh so sunny but that pisses me off too because I know I should be making an effort to be a little more sociable. I don't enjoy people or anything to do with people.

F) I would love to be able to crawl in bed and do nothing but then I feel guilty because my house is a wreck and I am avoiding the whole laundry list of things that need to be done.

G) I know I am making excuses but I honestly feel so overwhelmed about it all that I just don't know where to start.

Addy

2006-10-31T15:57:14Z

Sometime in the last year, my sweet nice, respectful Addy has turned into something I don't like. I don't know that it is just being a teenager either. I am wondering if Paula needs to get her in to see a psychologist.I am beginning to wonder if she doesn't suffer from depression. She is rude, sullen, argumentative, ungrateful and greedy and lazy. Every little thing results in a huge argument. It could be anything from do your homework to comb your hair and brush your teeth. There is a ten minute argument over why she should be able to wait another 5 minutes to do that. God forbid should I ask her to help do something around the house. She is starting to act like others people's kids and I don't like it. Specifically she is starting to act like the daughter of my former coworker who used to hang our with her during the summer. I, actually we, don't know what to do but I can tell you this shit isn't going to fly.

Drew leaves for Baker this weekend. I can't believe that kid is going off to college. I remember when he was two and riding around with me in my VW Bug . I can't believe the years have flown so quickly.

He is going through Rush this weekend. He has 3 great national fraternities to choose from ,Kappa Sigma,Delta Tau Delta,Sigma Phi Epsilon and a really good local fraternity , Zeta Chi. All 4 chapters are 100 year old chapters. Basically that means that there is a lot of financial and alumni support backing them up. I was amazed that his parents were okay with him rushing but they were all for it. Only because it is substantially cheaper,between $1500-$2000 yearly. Can't wait for him to pledge so I can buy him a sweatshirt and letter stuff.I have my choice but of course that means nothing.he has to make the best choice for him.

I also told him that he better be protecting himself too. I told him that I didn't want to hear about his sex life either. I told him that I know he has one because he is 18 and cute and a musician and that he better be protecting himself even if the girl says she is on the pill.Not to mention all the std's and such. The good thing is that he knows there is a long line of people who will kick his ass if he leaves school with a child instead of a degree.

The girls told me I was gross last night because I was refilling my water from the bathroom faucet. They seem to think there is a profound difference and that bathroom sink water is disgusting and drinking water should only come from the kitchen sink. It wasn't like I was drinking out of the toilet or anything like that.I was simply filling my glass at the faucet. So what say you all: Do you agree with the girls and think there a difference between bathroom and kitchen water or are you like me and couldn't care less?

I already know that I am a huge geek but I am so excited for this book to come out that I can hardly stand it. I have a countdown downloaded as my desktop. After that I suppose I will have the movie in November to be excited about. After that,I will be lost. How long are we going to have to wait for the last book? Several of my friends don't want to get the last book because they don't want it to end. Harry and all these people have become their friends in that strange way that some characters take on. There will probably be a rise in support group membership after the series ends. They will have to change the Leaky Lounge to the Leaky Support group.

I think we are going to do a Diabetes walk in September. Its 5k.We walk two miles daily already. By late Sept,we should be be good to go. I haven't really checked into it much.Addy and Erin had expressed interest in doing the MS Walk America 5 k but that won't be until next June. We missed it by just a couple of weeks. I just found the information for the ADA walk this evening so we haven't talked about it but I am sure they will be fine with it.

I am so tired tonight,I just want to go to fall into bed and sleep. I still have laundry to fold and things to get ready for tomorrow and I need to shower. I haven't really seen any visible results yet but I feel alot better both physically and about myself. Weight gain has caused a lot of self loathing on my part and I am ready to ditch the bad attitude.

I think I must have lived in Florida in my last life. I was watching a program about hauntings of Key West last night and I got the strongest compulsion to just pack up and move there. It's still here today and I suspect it isn't going away. I can't afford to live in Key West. I saw a trailer,yes a mobile home, for $156,000. I'm not spending a thousand dollars a month to live in a freaking trailer. Did I also mention that I hate hot weather and despise summer. I also have a death phobia about bridges. I don't think you can get to Key West without going over water. Maybe that's how I died in a previous life. Who the hell knows, but after seeing that program,I have never been more certain that I was meant to be right there. You may now commence with the "you are a freaking freak" because I feel really bizarre about it. Its an almost overwhelming feeling it is so strong and I am someone who fully trusts my instincts and inner feelings. It isn't a wishful thinking idea,it is almost a compulsion.

I live on a cul de sac. There is ONE way in and out of my street. The fabulously smart people that run the city decided to fix the street today. The street was torn up and heavy equipment was blocking my street entrance. I understand that the street needed to be fixed but perhaps one lane at a time would have been a little smarter. It is supposed to storm tonight. Now the street will be a big muddy mess as well as being torn up.

Addy has to go to the Doctor tomorrow to get her blood drawn again.Her endocrinologist thinks she needs a higher dosage of her diabetes medication.The hyper insulin makes her feel hungry all the time and the medication controls that.It hasn't been as of late.SO she needs a complete new round of bloodwork drawn.Tomorrow we will go in,get her blood taken.Then we will go eat a huge breakfast,carb fest breakfast and then go back 2 hours later to get her blood taken again.

Paula told Add that if she really watches what she eats and doesn't whine about her dietary restrictions, and stays active,she will buy her a cable box for her bedroom.She wants the digital music channels because she likes to play dress up and dance to radio disney. Since that is great exercise too,we are going to encourage it.

I wish I had something fun to do this weekend but it looks like a weekend of appts,childrens birthday parties, and housework. I'll have to go back to work to get some rest.

I am watching this program about hauntings of Key West. It looks like a great place to live. I am ready to move.

Addy doesn't have a whole lot of choice to choose from in regards to who she plays with.There are two boys her age and two girls that are younger than her on our street .One is nice,one I don't particularly care for but that is beside the point. The one boy her age is the nicest kid but he is the biggest pantywaist I have ever come across.He is nine years old,nearly 10 and he is afraid of everything and I mean everything. He is afraid of Piglet and Lou. Seriously,how can you be afraid of a rabbit? When he rides his bike,on which he still has training wheels, he is totally decked out in so much protective padding that you would think he was playing hockey. Addy has to wear a helmet but thats it.She hasn't had training wheels on her bike for years. He will also come to the door,ask if Add can play and jump on the trampoline,and when that is okay,he has to go and get his brother because he is afraid to play by himself at the neighbors house. I realize that kids grow at a different pace but if your child was so timid wouldn't you be a little worried? He isn't feminine or anything like that,he is just a wuss.One of Addys best friends is a very effeminate little boy and he isn't afraid of anything.

Then there is the little girl two doors down that I like alot. She is as bold as Zach is timid. Add got the new Gwen Stefani and wanted to take it outside and listen to it while they jumped on the trampoline. We decided that since it was the unedited version that we needed to make sure and get permission from the girl's mom because there is a fair amount of adult language. Cassidy told us that her mom had the same cd and she knew that she wouldn't care and did we have any Motley Crue to listen to when the Gwen cd was over, because that is what her mom listens to. She is a wonderful girl and I have no qualms whatsoever inviting her into our home. She is a seven year old broad. She's great.

Add has been stuck inside today as it has been raining and she is driving me nuts.She was supposed to have gone to the pool with her friends and because it is raining,she can't. The sun needs to come out so she can go outside and stop crabbing at me.I guess I should feel grateful that she finds me miraculous enough to be able to control the weather. Needless to say,we also probably won't be able to get out and walk tonight.

Let me start by saying I am not a worshiper of celebrities. I do have favorite performers. So I am sitting here watching the morning news and they are talking about Michael Jackson. I admit,while I think he is guilty,I also believe the boy and his family are gold diggers.I'm sure the truth lies somewhere in the middle. You have to have some sympathy for an obviously emotionally retarded,plastic surgery scarred man,who is still deeply in the closet,even to himself. Who is surrounded by people who only want his money and are afraid to tell him no in the chance that he might cut the money off.

It made me start thinking of the celebrities,whose personal proclivities have come to public light,and how differently it makes me think of them. For example,there is Tom Cruise and his cultish Scientology.He annoys me anyway but now has become even worse. That shit he spouts in ridiculous. I don't for one second think his relationship with Katie Holmes is legitimate. I am also a huge Led Zeppelin fan but knowing Jimmy Page's predilection towards barely pubescent girls,really turns my stomach. I couldn't care less about the other rumors regarding his life but this sort of control issue just isn't right to me.

and the list goes on and on.

SO are there any celebrities whose personal habits have made you think differently of them?

Me and Erin and Addy walked 4 miles this afternoon.It felt wonderful.Erin is looking to do the same thing I am,not necessarily diet but just be healthier.We were talking while we walked and we both decided this is the very best thing because we would have a hard time doing it on our own but now we can push and nudge each other and it will be much easier having a walking buddy.She is also my coworker so we worked out a few other things too.We decided that we will buy a bag of salad to keep at work.Bring whatever salad fixings we want,I like veggies,she doesn't.Supplement it with a yogurt or something,we're good to go.We figured a light,healthy breakfast,a smaller supplemental meal around 10,lunch and then a snack midday,walk,and then dinner.I have heard that eating several small meals is better than three huge ones.I do know not to skip meals also because starving yourself lowers your metabolism.I certainly don't want that.

I sat in the hottub with some friends last night and now I'm so sore I can barely move. Thank God there is a COld Case Files marathon on A and E.I can sit around and feel old and watch excellent tv.What I should do is get up and walk it out but I'm on vacation,so don't think I'll be doing that at this time.

I am officially on vacation until Monday,June 6th. I have a big long laundry list of things to do while I am off work. However,I am not going to do any of them today. I'm gonna sit in the sun and read.I had a few errands to run but I made sure and ran them early and timed it so the last one could be the bank when it opened at 9. I have the house to myself too.Paula and Richard went to a hotel for the weekend and Addy is at her Dad's. So yay me for having 1 whole day of complete and total peace and quiet to myself. It will be glorious.

Oh my lord,we finally cleaned out the garage.Three hours later,I am bone tired.It was so gross.I am glad its over though. We threw so much stuff away,that the neighbor asked if we were moving.Now I need to clean the house and get rid of the clutter inside. After tomorrow,I am on vacay for a week,so I guess I know what I'll be doing. Lou is lost though.She went out to play and terrorize the mice,and basically do the job we got her for.I let her out there and she actually stopped in the middle of the garage.

The kids are out of school.Only 57 business days until they go back.That sounds like a much shorter amount of time than 12 weeks or 3 months.I'm ready for them to go back.I am beginning to think that year around school wouldn't be such a bad thing.

Its payday today and I have a little extra money burning a hole in my pocket.I am overwhelmed and don't know to buy but am open to suggestions.I bought myself the new Audioslave cd with my birthday money.Its a great cd but now I am at a loss.

Well,now I'm off to dinner. We worked too hard today to have to cook.

Fuck You SBC

2005-05-24T00:30:13Z

I despise SBC and their outsourced customer service.Despite their excellent English speaking abilities,they have no idea what i am talking about.Because they can't understand me,they can't help me.It frustrates me no end.
Several months ago,I downloaded a service pack update from Microsoft.It screwed up my settings and now I get kicked off whenever someone calls me.I pay SBC alot of money monthly for that not to happen.I know what it did,but I don't know where to go to fix the problem.This wonderful tech support guy told me to recheck my email.Thank you so much for not having a clue,honey.I appreciate it so much.

1. Total number of books I've owned: I adore books and own 4 bookcases full of them.

2. Last book I bought: Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural.

3. Last book I read: Bergdorf Blondes by Plum Sykes .It was cute and fluffy and totally predictable but I enjoyed it anyway.

4. Five books that mean a lot to me:
a) To Kill a Mockingbird -This is the best book ever

b)Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance - Not much for self help books but this a keeper

c)The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson- One of the greatest compliments I ever received was from my AP English teacher,who
told me that I remind her of Emily.

d)The Hotel New Hampshire-I adore all of John Irving's books but this one is my favorite

e)The Stranger Beside Me- I am a huge true crime fan and a fan of Ann Rule in particular.This book about Ted Bundy is really probably
the best true crime book out there.
