full moon

I will be looking at the moon, but I will be seeing him...

i cant write or call cuz i get no response back and that means i won't see or hear from him for like another year

Wednesday, January 31, 2007

i love him and he hates me.

ok, so now I am thinking I DONT want any myspace friends...

There is some pretty weird shit out there...

went to GI Joes again looking for kids PE shoes

Same rude treatment from the same rotten kids working there, complained to the manager this time-I was hot!!- and said I had been in twice this week and received the same rude treatment that I left with nothing both times and would probably not be back.
I am really starting to sound like my mother and I don't like that a bit, but dangit!! I also went to Victoria's Secret shopping yesterday and they were so kind and polite and helpful and that is how it should be. I won't be treated with disrespect by stupid kids.

I feel so old


Sometimes I really don't like young people that work in stores. The little girl in this picture is mine, so I love her.
The sun came out this weekend and we wanted to fill up our bike tires and fill up our basket balls and soccer ball. I went to GI Joes to buy a tire pump and they had all they fancy kinds that were very expensive. I just wanted the old fashioned metal kind that has the metal flaps that flip down that you stand on and you plug it in and pump. I asked two young sales people and NEITHER ONE HAD ANY IDEA WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT! They had never seen one. I was so mad. I just want plain ol' simple life. not all this fancy expensive stuff that is out there.
And my 12 year old asked me today, "Mommy, do you want help with your cell phone?"
It makes me depressed.
There is nothing that this millenium has to offer me so far that would actually IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF MY LIFE. Yeah it looks cool and "everyone" has one, but what the heck?? It won't improve my quality of life. I really don't see the point. All I want is the sweet smiles (like in the picture here) and hugs and kisses, tea and biscotti (I am going to learn how to make biscotti soon), and the love of my treasured friends and family (and lover)...to make me smile and consider a day really worthwhile. Amen.
oh yeah, and if I could get one or two friends at myspace...I don't know how to navigate that very well and that makes me feel old, too!

I love a holiday!

I love a holiday! I already have about 6 boxes of chocolate cake mix for the little football cupcakes. Then today when I was at Winco on my lunch I saw the brownie mix and decided to make brownies with caramel also! AND then I saw the marshmallow cream and I think that would be good in brownies, too!! I love my own cooking! call me crazy, but there is nothing more fun than getting together with family/friends/ my lover (how i miss him) to cook and eat!!

Wednesday, January 24, 2007

Thank God I have more time!

I have so many little football cupcakes to make, we are going to set up an assembly line at home and just knock it out every night from now till it's time!
(I thought it was this weekend, silly me)

came up for a basketball game.
we won.
cheers.

Friday, January 19, 2007

boo.

the problem you know, is really that my heart is just set on one man. and he hates me. if anyone else treated me like this i would just about punch them in the nose. so, that means the problem is with me. it is mine i just have to figure out what to do with it. continue to be ignored and rejected all the time...
nobody turns my head like he does.
he is so handsome.
and sexy!
Oh my goodness you can't believe how sexy he is and how much he turns me on.
there are other handsome men out there, but not in the same way that he is handsome. there is plenty of sex out there to be had, but why waste my time when his is the body i really want to taste and feel and be touched by. could i just freakin' get him out of my mind and move on?? I have tried, and tried and tried. For FOUR LONG years I have tried. all the others bore me bore me bore me. this one, he and i click on a level that i don't click with others...not yet anyway...what is a girl to do?get drunk and fuck his brains out that's what!!
actually i could totally skip the booze it would be nice to make love to him sober for once.
Boo.
oh yeah...i am out of town this weekend so why does it all freakin' matter i am not available anyway....
note to self: think less. drink more. cheers.

all he ever does is hate me.

I am so happy!

I went to the doctor!! I haven't been in a looong time! It felt so good to take care of myself but I gotta tell you, somethings have really changed...
I got an EKG and they are so polite and politically correct now that: 1. they asked please would I lift my own breast up so they could attach the electric things. They used to just sort of shove and push and it was really dehumanizing. (sp?)
(I got an EKG because my heart was hurting and since I have had heart medications, conditions/sugery in the past it kind of makes me nervous)
2. They were very polite to me and said I was very nice and that I did a good job! (where's my gold star sticker?) They were impressed that I had all my childrens ss#'s and knew my ex husbands home address. 3. I did not have to make a copay at the time of service, they will bill me!! I loved this part because I have no money. I used to feel like such low life scum to need to go to the doctor but not have the copay-they kind of make you feel like a loser and then attach an extra charge for "late fee" if they have to bill you. What's the point of going in an attempt to take care of yourself if all you feel is BAD? 4. I have a follow up appointment for a PAP and mamogram. I am actually looking forward to this! It is just so empowering to feel like I am doing the right thing FOR ME. woah. I only do the "right things" for my children, my mom, my brother, the teachers, my employer, my co-workers, NEVER ME. this is so cool. 5.

It's ok to look...Dr. Phil said so

This will be my year.
But have you ever searched match.com for single men between 35-45??? ugly. scary. freaky. gross. And they all think they are so hot. Like oh yeah mama, come and get me! NOT.

I read a research study once that interviewed 1000 not so attractive men and 1000 beautiful women. The men, even though unattractive at first glance described themselves as having good features such as big biceps, sparkling blue eyes, great shape VS. the women who said things like my eyes are too close together, my legs are too long, etc.
I really think we all should have stayed on the island of Lesbos.
NO I don't mean that, I really like men, I always sound like I am sexually confused. I don't know.
Maybe girls are more my scene. Women are so beautiful and much more interesting to look at. More interesting to talk to. There are so few men that are attractive. Maybe I am picky, but there just isn't much to see in the way of men out there. Of course they all want to be my "friend" and they take great care of me giving me rides and fixing my car...poop they just don't turn me on. They loan me their cars, they loan/give me money. They fix my car for free and pay for the parts that are needed to fix it.

he was only 26. ONLY 26!!

145%

My income has increased 45% since I started with this company in Aug of 2005. (18 months)
since my divorce/separation in January of 2003 (?) my income has increased 229%. (24 months?) Obviously I am not a math major.
I can take care of myself. I hated him so much but was so afraid to leave him because I did think I could make it on my own with four small children. Well I did and I am freakin' happy about it all!

Forget everything else I ever said!! This is what I really want for Christmas!!

All the men are talking about the diamonds and new carpet their wife's are getting for Christmas. Well they are only talking about it because I like to ask them. I like to think about how happy they are with their nice presents.

What I want for Christmas

ScorpioIf you were thinking of springing a gift card on a Scorpion this year, think again! The Scorpio thrives on emotion -- on the fuel of his own emotions, the emotions of others toward him and the drive to have his emotions understood. Your gift should reflect your feelings for and intimate knowledge of this very sensitive personality. Consider his passions, his talents, his sense of humor and devise a gift that can't be interpreted generically. If you don't know your Scorpio all that well yet, present your gift in a way that leaves no doubt that he is important to you. Perhaps a surprise unveiling is in order or a special meeting at a romantic spot -- maybe even the place where you first met. And because Scorpio can become so preoccupied with their tumultuous emotions, a tasteful blank book or journal might be just what he needs to channel that energy. Remember that Scorpio is the most sensual of the signs; while a thoughtful present can go a long way toward winning his heart, your passion for him is a gift that won't go unappreciated.

Will I really miss these little buggers when they grow up and move out?

Yes of course I will, that is why it makes me so mad at myself that I hate being a mom ALL THE TIME.
For example: last night I missed a really great football party that was being sponsored by one of our vendors at a really neat new club in town, all expenses paid, because my son got hurt at daycare...how selfish of me. Talk about feeling a lot of guilt for being mad that I have to take care of him instead of earting free food and drinking free beer with a bunch of really cool people!

And tonight there is another get together, free for me!, and I have to leave them at dacyare late...

Will I really miss these little buggers when they grow up and move out? Yes. Yes. Yes. And I will be old and alone and sad.

My littlest princess last night came up to me with a glass of water and said, "Mama!! Listen to me swallow!" She thought that was about the coolest thing ever, and it made me smile deep into my heart to see her joy discovering her little world. I am really going to miss these little buggers. I just wish I could find a way to enjoy them more before they grow up and move away...

the best time of the year? Bahumbug!

this article is good, too: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/stress/MH00030

My relationships are in the shitter. I am a lousy mom most of the time, cranky, depressed, tired. I am no fun at all to be around. I isolate myself.

Having the kids in sports really helped to get me out of the house and around other adults. I enjoyed the activity. Right now the weather freakin' sucks. My job is not challenging, it is very boring, I don't feel uselful at all. Nearly everyone has been fired.
I should be thankful I have a job, a nice place to live, a car that is paid for...healthy family, the kids get good grades and don't get into any trouble. I have everything I have ever wanted (except to be worshipped and adored like a godess!) but why do I feel like crying all the time? Am I an ungrateful slob?

our favorite place to meet and our first kiss

August 20, 2004

where we met

May 7, 2003.
From the very first time I saw him, I thought he was the most handsome man in the world.
This had to be fate, there is no other way we would have ever met.
I was able to watch him every day for eight months, close up.
(updated 5/9/2018- the link has changed since the restaurant shut down, but it was a McMennamins on Hall Blvd in Beaverton)

Tuesday, November 28, 2006

Did I mention my car has been broke down for nearly a week?

I hate this.

Parties, parties, parties!

The year end celebration is in the works! We are having a Fiesta!

I keep pretty busy running parties. It is fun, but it's not much time to eat, visit or relax. I have been known to fit in lots of dancing tho!! Every time we get a new employee they say, "You're the one that throws the great parties!" It makes me feel good.

The most handsome man in the world

I miss my sweetie.
I wish I had a picture of him to show you.
He is gorgeous! Tall, soft curly brown hair, a beautiful smile. He is such a masculine man, always stands out in a crowd. He oozes sex appeal! People always want to be around him.
Men want to be just like him.
Women just want to be near him.

I really like this picture

In fact, I think it turned out so well, that I made an 8x10 copy and hung it inside a 2" wide white matt with a very, very thin black frame. It looks awesome!
I never, ever, ever like pictures of myself. But this dosn't look like me so much that it turned out GREAT!

my party. Tavern Rock Creek 185th. The gang all knows, I think they are planning a secret.

I was having a pretty good day until

I was having a pretty good day until
Some lane-brain had to mention that I share a birthday with Charles Manson...
I spent my entire life NOT KNOWING THIS!!!!

it was hard enough having another birthday:
I had come to terms with the fact that I am a little bit over 25, and not so young anymore. I will age gracefully, I don't need to fight it like I used to think. It really is better in a lot of ways. See how I can talk myself into these things? But Charlie Manson? It dosn't MEAN anything, of course, right?
I never read the books, or watched the TV shows, I tried to watch the interview with Gerlado Rivera a few yrs back, but the guy FREAKS ME OUT!

Now, Neil Young and I share a birthday, we may celebrate separately this year. It seems like just yesterday I wrote those exact words on my birthday last year...where does the time go, really?

I am looking forward to a really nice weekend with a special friend. Well not the whole weekend, just a little bit of it.

Oupa!

What a fun place to go!
The food was fantastic! The atmosphere was a kick off your shoes, get up and dance and have the best time of your life! We couldn't help but clap to the Greek beat of the music as soon as we walked in the door!! And the signing and dancing and belly dancers were to die for! They even have plate throwing! And they teach you some traditional Greek dancing. Highly recommended for food and fun!
Oh yeah, and the women there think I have great breasts, no this is not a lesbian bar. I come walking out of the bathroom and these ladies are talking about my shirt-which is a purple halter with silver glitter strings in between the bosoms (no bra!) and they not only love my shirt but agree I have great boobs! This is a compliment because of course guys are going to stare so that dosn't mean shit, but when women are breathless...that makes me feel GOOD! And one of the ladies I was actually out with, she did get a little friendly with me later, but I think she was just really drunk.
ALSO! I never mentioned that at my class reunion I got voted best breasts.

But, thinking of my breasts makes me think of the best place in the world, my truly most favorite place to be...with a tall dark handsome man on his patio bbq'ing...he is such a freakin' hot hunk of a man!! I adore him!

When I was pregnant at 33 with twins and thought 40 was old

I used to say that I would rather be pregnant with twins (my 4th & 5th children) than turn 40. I thought 40 was really old and that pretty much nothing in the world could be worse that being 40!!

I turn 40 next month.
But at least I am not pregnant.
As soon as those little babies were born, I had THAT part of my life put behind me!

Now I just need to find some of my feeble old friends and if we can stay awake late enough, maybe we can hobble down to the nearest swinging joint and cut a rug!

Monday, October 16, 2006

I am so amazed that this beautiful child is mine!


Just another snap-shot from the party at The Pittock Mansion.

Homecoming was so fun!

I did not hit this deer, I just ran over it's little ears...
We circled back around a couple of times to get a picture, because the twins were asleep and we KNEW they would want to see it. We had nearly hit a herd of elk earlier in the evening. We did see another car later down the road that had hit an elk. And we missed hitting some deer a few other times.
My 12 yr old says to me, "we are sooo poor, if this is what we do on Fri nights after homecoming."
My daughter was one of the princesses.
I was so proud of her!
Don't touch my hair!

"If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world, and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day."

The first party I threw $15,000


This is Pumpkin Ridge Golf Course, where we held our year end company party last Dec. This was an awesome party, too. It was all decorated with poinsettieas and lights, and we had a band and good food-our parties are all pretty much the same. It is an honor to be able to plan them. I will look for more pictures...

Monday, August 28, 2006

Here's $10,000-throw a party!




pictures from our Company picnic, this is the second party I planned. We danced to Loyd Jones-what a hot band! My new favorite.
We had yummy food, a clown and games and prizes for the children, a slide show, the fun went on and on.
I know these are just a pics of me and the mansion, I have to get more on here. It was a wonderful night and everyone had a great time!

You're gonna make it after all

I just realized this morning, the magnitude of my job.
I am an executive in the accounting department of an international architectural firm.
cool.
I wear pretty clothes and go to meetings and lunches on the corporate account.
cool.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, right?

Sometimes, most of the times, I wonder if I only like this new guy because he reminds me so freakin' much of the last guy i was so crazy about.
this guy looks and acts so much like him. Very tall, long legs, soft brown hair, light brown skin, very funny and smart and kind....I hate it.
I havn't seen that last guy in I dont know how long but why in the hell do I still think about him?!!!! And miss him? And want to have sex with him? Mostly I think it's because his dick was so huge and hard and SIZE REALLY DOES MATTER.
Is it wrong to be with someone only because they make you think you are with that other someone, I can pretend I am with the one I really like????
How do I separate the two?
It's not like I am even "with" this new guy. We just work together. So far.

What was on TV the week you were born?

For months now I have been feeling like Mary Tyler Moore in that TV show she made long ago. The one between the black & white one with Dick VanDyke and the third series she did. I feel like throwing my hat in the air and dancing in the streets!
Must be in my blood because the show"That Girl" was on TV the week I was born! Nov 12, 1966.
My dream has been to be treated like the passionate woman that I truly am! Keeps a smile on my face all day!

points

The new guy at work earned all his points back.
I asked him if he wanted to buy some girlscout cookies, and he did. And then he went to the other offices to get them to buy some, too. He is so cute. Really tall, brown hair, hazel eyes, really BIG hands and feet. I don't care what anyone else says, and I am too old to be polite about it, but size REALLY does matter!! :)

I am a freak, no matter what you say

This is so weird
I just re-read my little diary book, over a year after I had written in it. And to be honest my feelings haven’t changed.
This is unfortunate.
This is crazy.
I haven’t spoken to that man in over 6 months, longer maybe.
I wrote in my journal how he had had me over to his place and told me “this is the last time”. How I left before anything intimate happened. How I cried and cried on the way home. “How could he do this to me?” I screamed in wretched pan. Tears streaming down my face.
But now, time has gone on. The sun managed to keep rising every day. I remembered to breathe.
And I am shocked to find, even a year, two years later, three years that I still feel the same.

Once in a while.

I think about him often
I dream of him at night
I ache for him
At times
The same old songs make me feel the same old way.
It hurts.

The kids have grown and flourished.
My job is going awesome!
The new apartment is nice. Very plain – no frills. Almost affordable. Very close to work. I was driving an hour every morning and every night. Paying $2.25 to wash and dry one load of laundry-not to mention the hauling of all that laundry. Gas was up to unbelievable heights! $2.25 a gallon or more I think it reached.

There are some nice men at work. They are so nice to me. One I like, I can tell he likes me. But he is engaged. He seems to be having doubts about getting married. He is very cute and smart. He re minds me of my uncle.

And this new guy. A real fox and so very very nice and professional.

I don’t think I have prayed enough for him to be out of my heart.
I don’t think I have prayed enough for someone new.

But #$% is so nice. And so cute. And he lives so close. And he is so engaged.
Maybe.
#$%^&
He has the best kisses. And best other stuff!!
Damnit!
I want out of this cycle.

I think of you so often
You keep dropping by my mind
at the strangest times
and in the strangest places
how nice it is
to be constantly reminded of you.

Do you think of me
Like I think of you?
Do I burn inside of you
Like you burn inside of me?
I can see the tilt of your head when you listen
And the smile in your eyes when we talk
The colors of your hair
I can feel the warmth of your hand on mine
The heat that surges through my veins when you look at me
Stand close to me
When will this sweet tender pain STOP?
Will the longing ever end?
I have prayed
Begged
Cried
For mercy.

Do I do this to myself? Have you cast a spell on me?
It’s the curl of your hair and my cheek against yours, your neck that cries out to my lips. My hand in yours, your breath in my ear
So warm
So perfect

Its when nothing else matters
How everything disappears when you walk into a room
Every time it happens that way
The very first time I saw your handsome face
And every time since. I remember exactly the very first time I ever saw you.

I remember the very last time.

And all the times in between.

How mad you got when I drew a heart around our initials on your windshield.

The many beers I’d drank that night that made me think it was cute.

You never wrote

called

sent flowers

Or ever came to see me.


I have guys that call me constantly that I don't really care about and I treat them the sameway. i am rude, i ignore them. i stand them up on dates and don't apologize. I just don't really care. Like this guy and me. he just wasn't that into me.

the new kid on the block

There is a new man working here.
He is so cute.
A little younger than me I think, but he sticks to me like glue...

He says he has "housemate" does that mean he is gay? That would explain his kind, funny and attentive behavior - along with his good looks.

For all the good things I ever did

I love my job.
My job loves me.

They want me to help open new offices.
The office in Kona will be first.
Who would say no?
they would pay my rent here, and since I just moved into an awesome new apartment I am stuck with the lease anyway.
They would pay my expenses over there.

Why does this feel weird?
Why wouldn't I go?

Why havn't I bought the plane ticket yet?
Hell Ya I am going!!!!

Oceanside CA is next, then Tampa...then who knows!!! the sky is the limit!!

even my life looks slightly interesting viewed this way

attempt at pictures

attempt at pictures

Just take the compliment and shut up!

I love a great compliment!
Our warehouse manager just told me I look smashing, or was it sensational?? It was an "S" word and probably the nicest thing anyone has said to me, at least in a very long time. And today is casual Friday, too. But he is like SO married. He is always telling me that he is "available" like he is so horny. He looks freakin' hot, like a man that loves a woman's body, really, and not just for his own pleasure, like he could drive her insane for hours and totally get off on it...oh wait!! there I go again, I have work to do!!!

Did you make a wish?

Wow!!
I will be 29 for the 11th time tomorrow.
I really hate to admit that I am aging, but I gotta tell ya that staring down the coming years is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be!!
I feel better than I think I ever have in my whole life. I feel wise, and fairly healthy even given the fact that I have put on numerous amounts of fat!! I have had five children, including twins, and even when I was pregnant with the twins I still didn't weigh this much!! It is coming off slowly though. Walking helps a lot.
I finally have a good job that I like.
I think I just feel like I am finally in control of my life. Not such a victim to other peoples freaks of nature. I make my own decisions. I suffer those consequences still, as I am not perfect.
I have more patience than anyone I know. Not that I don't lose my temper and cry and scream and yell.
I guess I just like who I am and what I have accomplished and where I am going.
I am not so lost any more.
Mostly, I thank God for antidepressants and health of myself and those that I love.

Three is not a crowd!

A man that will do all the cooking, including the grocery shopping!
A man that will do all the cleaning, including all the laundry!
A man with an enormous...er, um, hands...and soft brown hair, eyes that I could drown in...oh!I do get carried away....he makes mad passionate love to me three times a day and fulfills all my fantasies.

I must make sure these three men never, ever meet...

"Do you know why I pulled you over, Ma'm?"

I hate being called "Ma'm". The handsome young officer with the gold wedding band wanted to know, "Do you know why I pulled you over, Ma'm?"

Let's go back 12-14 months...

My head lights are out on my car. My running lights work, and the brights work but only when I hold the switch on the turn signal pulled towards me, which makes it very hard to put on my make-up and talk on my cell phone, let alone drink my coffee on the way to work.

So I totally quite driving at night; for the most part. Especially after I got a ticket last sprint for not having my 11 year old in a seat belt and that ticket was for about $150. Now that ticket I did not pay. I tried twice to attend the seatbelt diversion class but got the wrong building on the wrong night both times. So my court date came and went and I still didn't have the money to actually pay the ticket so my license was suspended. Along the line some where my insurance also expired and who has the money for that when there are so many mouths to feed and you can barely pay the rent?!

Last year for Christmas my mother gave me a new switch to fix the headlights cuz some freakin' mechanic (me and mechanics are a whole different story and it makes me tear up at how much money they have stolen from me in the name of new brakes and various other repairs they insist I need and how can I say no when I drive with kids in the car??) so this mechanic said it was a switch, well it wasn't so almost a year later I have almost never driven at night. See without a license or insurance I dont want to get pulled over!! I drive to work and I drive home.

So this kid from work says he will fix my headlights for free for me. He's going to hard connect it or something and just put in a toggle switch to run the headlights. I am trhilled!! So, today, we trade cars. I am driving his sweet little Acura with the jammin' stereo and the skull head stick shift and a V-6 with 2400 valves or something. I am at the corner to my apt. The light is green. I turn on my turn signal, it is dark, but his car has headlights that work!! I see a young man crossing against the light so I safely wait till he is half way across the street and finish my turn.

RED AND BLUE FLASHING IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR.

There is a new law I recently read about that drivers now are supposed to wait till the pedestrain is completely all the way across the street to finish their turn.

fuck.

one year that i have outrun the law. till tonight.

i dig and dig through this boys car and can't find the proof of insurance.

the officer is not impressed with the skull head stick shift.

the computers are jammed and he can't verify my license. So he asks me if it is current.
I burst into tears, cuz i know that it's not and that i can't tell a lie and the last 38 years of heart ache and fighting every single day to not just jump off a bridge wells to the surface.

he is so cute, too. i mean really hot, tall, brown hair, large hands...

So now on top of all my other bills that I can't pay, I get ticket for over $1600. But he says he really cut me break. Thanks baby.

The best times ever

My son really loves me. He is six years old. I came home from work the other night and he runs up to me and says so sweetly, "come here my mama and give me a great big hug!"

Then Saturday we hit the Dollar Tree Store and for just $2 you can get 106 little plastic soldiers (2 bags, one just didn't seem like enough), cowboys and Indians. We built forts out of the hamster hut and tee-pees out of crinkled up paper bags (to look like leather ya know) and strategically placed our men around the kitchen. (the only place we really have to play). I was only slightly taken aback this morning when I went to pour my first cup of coffee and there was a red plastic Indian pointing his arrow straight at my face!

We also bought some scary masks and they never, ever seem to get tired of, or un-surprised, at scaring each other!! They can ring the doorbells and sneak around corners jumping out hollering at each other and jump in fear and then laugh till they pee their pants, for what seems like hours!

We bought some spider web stuff and a bag of bugs, snakes, spiders & skeletons and hung those all up by the front door. Ours looks better than anyone elses!

All in a days work I guess.

A few things I have figured out

If I scrub the tub, and put down my expensive, thick, white, chenille bath mat - the children will wash the black long-haired Australian Shepherd.

Men are so easy to get over

Dropped my barely running car off and the repair shop this morning then walked to the beauty parlor. There is nothing like a pedicure, manicure and a massage from Sven to make my world a great place to live in again!!

It was over a year ago. We only "dated" a week. Sex with an ex for 11 months. Can't beat it. No strings.

If I could just get Sven to leave his boyfriend and come away with me!!Hell, on second thought I will take them both! I have never been a one man woman anyway!

how can one person be so mean to another?

the guy i liked for so long finally had the guts to tell me i was a worthless piece of shit and he didn't give a damn about me.
i knew that.
I have never been rejected so many times, in so many ways...never. ever. it's weird.

I hate men. they blame women, but it is obviously their fault.

all the time. it is their fault.

the men at work are all married but they have no problem saying they would have an affair with me. really. they wanna fuck me. they say so. they say they are married. but it never stopped them before. Its not like i havn't had married men before.

i wonder how much money that is worth. I'd like a nice new apartment and a better car. it's not like i havn't had sex for money before either.
the boss does everything he can to get me alone. I would think he was too busy running the fucking company. he wants me in his office, he wants me in his car. (red corvette)

it would be nice, if just for once, i actually mattered to someone. It is obvious I never will matter to anyone.
not in this life time.
it's too fucking painful.

I think I am better than that, but nobody else seems to.

Positive attitude

My little six year old daughter has the most positive attitude of anyone I ever met. The little darling has a wart on the bottom of her foot. A plantar wart, right? She calls it her flower wart.

Squirrels and Kitties and Sprinklers, Oh My!

I believe everyone in our life is a gift to teach us something.
Most of it I havn't figured out yet.
I do know now that chasing squirrels and kitties and running through sprinklers at 5:45 am everymorning really can be a lot of fun!!
Thanks Katie Dog.

School daze

Everyone is off to a great start at school!
Well, except for Brandon. He decided the first day that he was going to quite.
"It takes ALL day, Mommy!"
He is used to kindergarten and their half days and of course playing all day during the summer. Boys just have too many other important things to do like playing astronauts and building roads in the dirt for their trucks.
Then he said, "the teacher said it was a game, but I KNOW it was math!"
Too funny.
He will be fine, not to worry.
Brandy is just too cute with her one front tooth missing and her little blonde pigtails bouncing around. The first one up, she is anxious to visit with her new friends. I mean, anxious to learn!
Lindsey, very shy, is making new friends at her new middle school. There are a couple of girls from her last school so that helps. And thank God!! Boys are still gross.
Haley is signing up for all the sports she can!! She is a real go getter and I know her grades will be good again this year.

We love you all!
Laura and kids

PS I have been offered a permanent position at the job I am currently temping at. It is a great company and I can go into a lot of different areas. I really just want to stay somewhere and retire! retiring is 30 years away, but looking for work sucks!

Back to school!

My six year old son decided after his first day that he wants to quit.
He says to me, "It takes all day, mom!"

Three things kids always say

"Watch this"
"Can I have it?"
"Who farted?"

Who am I kidding?

I have learned as I have grown older that there are very few people I truly enjoy spending time with.
I don't want to take time away from my kids or family except for one very special person. And a few of my best close girl friends, which number totals about 3.
It's nice to know myself this way. Dating around? What's the point? Waste of time.

I'm not saying a word

I am not going to jinx myself this time and say that I love my job.
Or that I love the building.
Or that the people are really nice.
Or that there is fresh flowers every Monday at my desk.
That architecture can be fun and interesting and that I can learn anything.
I have mostly worked for CPA's, escrow offices and mortgage companies. I never would have applied at an architectural firm. I dont know anything about that kind of thing. But I am an excellent support staff person.
Working for temp agencies has given me the opportunity to build my self confidence in my skills, and meet a lot of really neat people.
But I am not going to say anything because I don't want to jinx it...

He really does hate me

good thing I work in an architectural firm with lots of really good smelling rich men!
good thing I always have lots of invitations for dates.
good thing I know when it is time to start saying yes again...

good thing I did not cry this time...

He really does hate me.

I am such an idiot. No I am not. He has always been giving me the "Come here, go away" routine...I never know which dance we are doing. If I don't write, he says I am giving HIM the could shoulder...

I take pictures with this

It is really old, but it was cheap on Ebay and I am all about saving money!! It makes me feel good. I don't care if all the other mommies and daddies have their shiny fancy new digital cameras. We both get pictures.

Our house is a very, very fine house...


or at least it used to be.We ended up in the neighborhood on our way somewhere else and wanted to see it.
This is one of the places I used to live. It had a great laundry room with lots of shelves, a fountain and pond with fish, a real wood play house with glass windows, four bedrooms, two master baths plus two full baths, a formal living room with a huge fire place and bay window, a family room, cobalt blue tile kitchen counters, a pantry, a small office space in the kitchen, a full office with lots of shelves and glass doors, decking on two sides of the house, six foot wood privacy fence, underground sprinklers with a timer...what else? Two car garage with lots of storage, I had my weights and room to dance...I took tap, jazz and ballet lessons from 1st grade to my first year in college, I miss it.

I was buying it from my dad (he bought it so to "help me out") then he started abusing my kids...it wasn't worth the price of his freakin' behavior problems. He did the same to me and my brother and has over the years still to my kids. He has a furious temper and some sexual problems...Some things never change...

The Engagement Party

Today we were supposed to go to an engagement party for a friend of mine. BBq in a local park - bring the kids- my perfect scene!The older two girls got sick and couldn't go. So just the twins and I went. We left late, then got lost. I always take the scenic route everywhere I go!! We never did find the right party. It was a huge park and there were lots of birthdays, reunions, and even a wedding but we never found our friends.We did however have a really nice time anyway. Surprisingly. I am not one to stop and smell the flowers, but check these pictures out.

dancing in the park




We walked around this park for nearly an hour looking for our friends. It had a paved path that made a large loop around the outside and a few trails through the middle. They found this big "thing" and of course it had to be climbed on. Anyone can tell me what it is?? The best guess gets a prize!! There was also live music so they danced a little, too. On top of this statue thing of course!!

wibble wobble, wibble wobble to and fro




We found some ducks and another person there gave the kids some bread. I love the pictures of my twins together and it was a rare treat to be and see just the two of them. We usually travel in a group and they rarely interact with just each other or just them and me.
I think this was supposed to be the "wading pond" and we had brought our swim gear just in case but it was green and thick and smelled bad. My son points way out in the middle and says, "mom, there is a fish!" I did not blurt out what I was thinking, which was, "Is it floating?"

THE BIG RACE!!




I have not had so much fun in I don't know how long! It was so exciting. I think instead of deby race it should be called demolition derby. The cars never flipped over, but the boys flew out of them, faces slid across pavement, cars crashed, they flipped off the starting ramp...the fun went on and on!! And this was 6-10 yr old boys. Some of them quit and didn't even want to race any more, but my son never gave up. His first time up he flipped off the ramp!!! There is a picture of him running into the side and what it dosnt show is him and his car hanging off the edge. I was terrified. Of what? broken bones and blood, my mom is the nurse and I am the accountant - there is a reason for that I CAN'T STAND THE SIGHT OF BLOOD OR ANYONE IN PAIN. Especially my children. But I held my breath and didn't move (I cant treat him like a baby in front of the guys ) and the other dads were there to pull him down and tighten his bolts and nobody freaked out (they're guys - the more ferocious the race the better, right?!) And it truly was no big deal. I had asked him in the car on the drive there, "Son, are you afraid?" He responded, "Of what Mommy?" "Nothing" I lied. So after the failed first attempt he sat down by me for a minute, had a drink of water and caught his breath. I asked if he was going back in and he said YES! ok, not quite that boldy but by the time the 7 races were over and he watched boys drop out like flys and he won 3 of seven races and ate two big plates of food he said it was a good time all in all!!

the race is on and here comes pride in the back stretch...

Teamwork

Power tools!!


This week we paint, next weekend is the BBQ and the BIG RACE

We all worked real hard

My son was totally into this!

We had so much fun!

And people in hell want ice water

All I really wanted was a peaceful life.

Tonight we ended up with a dog at our house. My daughter comes back from the park saying the owner of this dog said it would be euphanized and they did not want it. This child is a dog magnet. Ever since she was about 8 we have had a nearly constant stream of "stray" dogs show up. I overheard her say once to a friend, "I had to chase this dog two blocks!"

She carries this dog home to show me and since the kids have been working and saved $158 of the $200 to pay for the pet deposit, I thought we might be able to keep it. It was such a cute little girl about six months old, black with some white spots. The big brown eyes. It had flea bites all over it and the gums were bad. It was head shy and obviously neglected and abused. We went to talk to the landlord and they said it was a pitbull and we could not keep it. So I called the police and they did not want to come get it tonight but I told them the kids babysit themselves and I did not want the dog here when I left for work in the morning.

In the couple of hours that passed that we had the dog it already started growling and acting weird. I did not trust it. My daughter cried and cried and I told her she was doing the right thing and was saving it's life by having the police take it. That she can use the money to pick a dog she can feel safe with and pick out herself.

Well after all the tears and one pee-pee on the floor and the trip and fall of two skined knees and a possible sprained ankle from walking the dog in the dark and tripping over little sister who would not get out of the way, I think I am finally off to bed...morning comes way to early at my house...

Thank God for antidepressants

Those of you that know me, know that I have already had one child that was murdered.
Today I nearly thought I was going to lose another.
I got a call at work that my 14 yr old teenage daughter
let me start again
I call home and my 11 yr old daughter told me that the manager of our apt complex, who is also the father of the boy my daughter has been forbidden to see because they have been sneaking in the middle of the night to meet, well the manager told my 11 year old to lock the doors and not let anyone in because said boy has just left the house with a loaded rifle. So my 11 yr old and the six year old twins are home alone since said teenage daughter upon hearing this, runs out of the house to help find the boy...
The father had already called the police who found them at the park. The boy was taken into custody and taken somewhere...? I called the police and they said he is somewhere he can get help. I said I don't freakin' care about him , it is my teenage daughter I am worried about!!! Tell me what happened!!!!
I had already shipped her out of town last week to grandma's but she called crying she wanted to come home, but that she would stay at a friends so she was not around said boy, but instead she continued to sneak out at night and was caught by boys father (my apt manager) and boy got in trouble with dad. I found this out today.
Daughter is at friends house till I can figure out where to send her next. She is putting too many people in danger...Herself first. I am afraid he will come looking for her again. I want to leave.
There is nothing so scarry as a man with nothing to lose.

Mamma's got a brand new gig...Yes again

Started another "new job" today. Temping has its pluses but I am sure looking forward to just staying at one job for a while. Like the next 30 years. But I am learning so much going from job to job. Mostly about people. Some seem nice, but are not. Some are not nice and arn't afraid to show it. That I can deal with. The building is gorgeous, it was built in Nov and they have state of the art up to the minute everything!! I even have my own bathroom!!! That for me, is the most exciting thing right now!!! I hate public bathrooms!!!! I don't like sharing a bathroom with my kids! Actually I think the kids' bathroom is worse than public. No, that's not true but it sounded funny!! so keep your fingers crossed, say your prayers, pray to Alah or anyone you can think of that this mama gets a permanent full time gig!
