I'M MARRIED

Misty Martiss!

Thursday, October 24th, 2013

Today, every person that I come across tells me that I look tired... I am beginning to thinks that I should be offended!

 

I need to find a real alarm clock so that I don't leave my phone on. Not only so noises don't wake me up, but because I need to shut it down at night, weird things are happening to my phone, so it needs a rest...

 

New Big Bang Theory tonight, and right to bed for me!

 

 

Blessed Be

Sunday, October 13th, 2013

Very productive day. Woke up early, way to early, so I went back to bed... Woke up and started working on sending all of my pictures to Picassa... Got some laundry done, cleaned my room, not that looking at it now would prove it!

My Grrrl and I worked on the firewood pile, the kids took a bunch of crap to the curb for today's pick up... Kids had dinner, I had a shower, washed my hair with REAL shampoo. Put on Coconut Oil after for the night. Went down, worked on the back up some more, watched The Walking Dead with the kids! Took Marie home, come home, watched The Cowboys beat the Redskins...finished the back up, went to bed later than I would prefer, still woke up at 3:00, to pee, maybe I have a child's bladder?

Oh, watched part of an episode of Top Gear, it was hilarious!

Saturday night I watched an episode of The Doctor, the last one with Amy and Rory, I knew it was the last one, Robert had warned me earlier in the night... Cried like a baby. I did break my own rule, watched it out of order, but My Gretel offered, not gonna say no when she offers. :)

On my way to work now, long day ahead of me, but she be productive. Hope to have my results by the end of the day, then I can turn it into CNM, and have that off of my plate and mind.... Next I have to decide what classes next semester, something fun and challenging, so not math! Need to take two classes, maybe three, if two are online, I think I could do that... Busy, but not away from home and work so often...

Anyhow, almost there...pardon typos, I'm on my phone...

Hair Update

Brushed before shower...
No baking soda, no vinegar...
Condition Frizzy, gave up, put hair up...

That is all

Friday, October 12th, 2012

Woke up, stepped, showered...
Brushed my hair before I showered, didn't use anything...
Used a headband, and my bangs are not long enough, so I had Stoopid tufty type wings... Hair felt like I had too much product in it... Not frizzy though...
Got out of class early so we could take test # 2, which I got a 64% on.. I am very disappointed in myself.I printed all the things I need to study, so I will.

Got home, Heather and I went to get a few groceries, then Robert helped me understand the piece of my Aleks pie that had me all stuck... Got to 99 pieces... Now, I will get to 100, then go back and study all the stuff I missed on the test...

Lizzy K came over for dinner and beers... It was nice to have company. Can't remember what we started watching, but we watched John Dies At The End... I crocheted my book holder closer thingy...

Stepping now, blogging from my phone, ha, technology... Did my arms, so they hurt, I'll do more when I finish this entry...

Today, we go see Nana, before hand, I'll brush my hair, use nothing, and leave it down, but carry a ponytail holder!

Take the kids to the library, might try to gather a few rocks for my holiday project. Then maybe ill have Heather help me start my bosses graduation gift...

Watching The Doctor... I love this show enough to get up and step... River Song just sacrificed herself... Who knows if she's actually gone, thought Donna was, but there she is... Lol...

Ok, that's enough, episode will be over soon, I need a shower and breakfast... We will do the side yard tomorrow, before animation domination... Wait, will it even be on? They did all the Halloween episodes last week... Does that mean baseball is going to be on? I hope not, oh well...Walking Dead comes back, so even if it is on, ill be watching that instead...invited Lizzy K over for that...

Pardon any errors, am using my phone after all...

Blessed Be

Thursday, October 10th, 2013

Well, I stayed up too late last night trying to get Robert's phone synched with my computer. Then, I woke up at 2:30, and could not get back to sleep for nearly an hour and a half. Had to wake up early to get in and make up time from Monday when I was sick.

 

Now, on to my hair... I didn't use baking soda today, only vinegar. I didn't brush my hair before hand, which is something I will do from now on, because brushing it in the shower makes me loose lots of hair, more than just brushing conditioner through, but any brushing of wet curly hair is discouraged. My hair is somewhat frizzy today, I think that has more to do with combing it with the vinegar was in it, than just the use of vinegar. We will see what tomorrow brings.

 

I am tired today, oh, so tired. I might take a nap during my lunch...I do know that I am going to bed early tonight, and that coming in early today just to save some sick leave was not worth it, not at this point. Maybe I will make some coffee? Or crack? LOL

 

Blessed Be!

New beginnings today. I started MyFitnessPal last night. I stepped for a while, before I realized that with a cold, I should not, so I took it easy for a few more minutes, then went and watched Face Off with the wife and son!

 

This morning I am back to Baking Soda and Vinegar for my hair. Didn't like the way that my hair was looking or acting with all that I have, I cannot find something to make it happy! We will see how I feel and look around 2:00 today! LOL

 

My cold is on the mend, not 100% better, but better, the day of sleeping helped a lot I think. And going home early yesterday and getting a few things filed, and off of my radar helped too!

 

Today is a new day, I have PMS, and I am going to try to go without soda... Watch out World! I might have to take a Coke with lunch, for the good of humanity, of course!

 

Blessed Be!

Thursday, October 3rd, 2013

Head hurts, didn't sleep well last night, not well at all... Woke up three times, once I was up for an hour and a half... Seriously looking into this sleep stuff that I saw on line, Fairy Dust. It is based on the idea that we wake because of mineral deficiencies. Also, I think that the nose strip that I used the past two nights might be part of the blame... I think that it helped me breath a bit too much, and tricked my body into thinking that I had enough sleep...

WHEN I HAD NOT! LOL

 

 

Boring a** meetings all day, and long hours,

BUT,

I get to watch a new Big Bang Theory with my baby and kiddos tonight. I do not have to go to the Director's meeting, so I can stay here and finish some minutes, and maybe some more work in my Algebra class on line portion of the class.

 

 

If I get lucky, maybe my GED results will be on the flippin' website by day's end...

I HATE WAITING!!!

 

 

Anyhow, don't want to be too negative, but I just don't feel good...

 

 

 

Blessed Be!

First day of a new month, new beginnings.... Gonna try really hard to cut back on soda until I can give it up.... This morning I am working out. Today I will even start doing homework every day. I know there are other changes I should be making, but one day at a time, right?

I think live more simply will be part of the next wave...

Tuesday, September 24th, 2013

Yesterday was Aunt Mary's funeral. It was standing room only! So many people love her. There was a wonderful story told about catching too many fish and getting them past the game warden. I can SEE her in that story.

 

I miss her so much, we are all saddened by her passing. What I would not give for one more of her hugs, and to hear it told yesterday, I am not nearly the only one in this world that feels that way.

 

My heart is hurting for all that miss her, but I am selfish right now, and it hurts for me. All I can do now, is try to live and love like Mary did. I know she was not perfect, and when we loose someone, we tend to remember only the good, but I know that she was more good than anything else, and I will just strive to do the good things that she did, and miss her for them, and love her for them, and count myself lucky for having been on the receiving end of them!

Friday, Sept 20th, 2013

Well, my homework didn't post, so I lost all my progress.

I haven't slept well in weeks.

My Grrrl is soul crushingly depressed and She is sick, that I know for sure, because I am getting it too...

We are all sad about the passing of a favorite Aunt, but I have to be strong for her... So I do what I can.  

 

What happens when you've been too,strong for too long?

 

I didn't want to go to class today, I don't want to be at work either, 

I don't want to be around people at all...

What I wouldn't give for a hotel room where no one can find me for a good 24 - 48 hours.

You know, with the good strong AC, and nothing good on TV, just sleep, wake for a shower, eat something, then back to sleep...

 

Last night Cara was texting me, just normal back and forth stuff, but every time my phone went off I wanted to chuck it out a window...

I feel like a paper bag at the market. My bottom is wet and I've been stuffed to full of things I until I can't possibly fit any more... I'm about to break, loose my bottom and shatter all the things I've been charged with carrying...

Sorry to vent here, but I was hoping that it would help...

I am glad that I stopped washing my hair with baking soda and rinsing with vinegar. Yesterday on the shuttle bus I was behind a lady who smelled like vinegar. STRONGLY...

 

Watching the 9th Doctor, the bad guy from Gone In 60 Seconds. Still like the 11th Doctor better. We'll see how I feel about the 10th Doctor when I get to him...

Shampoo Free Day... ?

So, I woke up late today, so I didn't have time to do my normal stuff when I got ready. I did wash and rinse with baking soda and vinegar yesterday, so... This morning, I did not need to wash with anything, I did use conditioner, and I left a tiny bit in, more out of rushing than anything else. My hair did feel more tangled with I flipped and tousseled it...Is that a word? I am pretty sure that it is, but spell check disagrees. Bite Me Spell Check! Stop trying to stifle my creativity!

 

Anyhow, didn't have time to do the two twists like I do either, so one barrette on top, not my favorite... Tonight, early to bed again, and MAYBE early to rise like I wanted???

 

 

Blessed Be!

Shampoo Free Fail

Today I had to use shampoo. Even after baking soda, the greasiness of the coconut oil would not come out. I used my curl shampoo and conditioner. My hair feels better, cleaner, softer. But my curls are weighed down and not as, curly...

So, either I can be green and have great curls with tangles and an unsettling feeling on my hair, or I can have nice feel, but less curl.

I think I will go back to green in the morning, and see how it goes, also, a trim might help one way or the other...

New Beginnings

Today, I am 39 all day long. Today, I started stepping again, I did an hour, and I AM FEELING IT!!!

Today, I started watching Doctor Who, must say, I am enjoying it, one episode in, but still.

Today, I am not going to eat healthy, because I have left over pizza from last night ;), but I am going grocery shopping tomorrow, and I will get chicken breasts, and rice and beans, and those will be my staples for the next few weeks. I wish that I had the will power to do a cleanse, but I don't, so there it is!

New Beginning

Shampoo Free Day 6

So, I washed with baking soda, rinsed with vinegar last night, and did a coconut oil treatment last night. I rinsed my hair this morning, but did not wash or rinse it again.

So far today, it looks like I have product in it that is making it look wet. It does feel a bit heavy and greasy. I need to find a better balance I think, because this is not how I want my hair to fell, although my curls do look good!

The site that I found all of this info on says it takes at least a couple of weeks to get to a happy balance, and despite those that might want me to fail ;), I am not giving up.

Blessed Be

Shampoo Free Day Five

So, I took a shower before bed, washed with baking soda, rinsed with vinegar, and then, I put coconut oil in my hair. It is very nice. My hands were coated, so I put it all over. We will see how I feel in the morning, or how long it takes me to break out all over!

I also think that the vinegar might be irritating my neck, so I put anti- itch cream on my neck. We will see how that works too.

I will try and rinse the coconut oil out in the morning, I might have to use shampoo, and that might be the straw that breaks my wills back!

Good Night!

Blessed Be

Misty

Shampoo Free Day 5

Last night my hair felt heavy with product when I went to bed. Probably because I was so wind blown from going to and from school. It is more tangled, and doesn't feel as soft when I touch it. However, it looks fine, and the curls are better I think. They do not seem weighed down like they did before. Did I say that already?

This morning I did not use baking soda, only vinegar, like yesterday, I think? I do not stink, and I do not smell the vinegar, so I guess it is going well.

No baking soda, yes to vinegar... Hair seemed harder to manage, but looks and feels fine an hour and a half later...

Shampoo Free Day Three

Didn't shower yesterday, but my son did brush my hair, and he said my hair was less tangled. Today, Monday, I did "wash" with baking soda, and rinse with vinegar. Same son, because I only have one, said that it smelled kinda vinegar-y. However, once dry, it was OK. I did not do it the same way I usually do, but it seemed OK. 

As I am getting ready to go to bed, it does feel a little strange, but I am sticking with it, at least until something terrible happens!

When My Grrrl gets home, I am going to get my hair trimmed, we will see what difference that might make?

That is all, 

Blessed Be

Lyrics

All This Time by One Republic

All this time,
we were waiting on each other.
All this time,
I was waiting on you.
We got all these words,
Can't waste em on another.
So, Im straight in a straight line,
running back to you.

Not sure where I found these, but they seem fitting with the changes to the marriage laws in our city last week!

Fu*k It, Let's Make Wine Round 4 ( I think)

This was supposed to be from LAST Sunday. There should have been pics documenting the start of it,but  I guess not. If I can find them, I will post them. I will also check on the "wine" because that is what I was planning to do, once a week... It depends on how I feel later!

Trying Something New

Yesterday I started washing my hair with baking soda only, and rinsing it with vinegar. I did it before we went to Nana's. We drove Marie home. With all of that driving, I was wind blown, but not any worse than normal. Since I was sweaty, and going out to dinner with friends I took another quick shower, and rinsed with vinegar again, and then I used a tiny bit of product in my hair. Since it is still hot,and I do not have AC in my van, I was a bit windblown when I got to dinner, but again. no worse than normal. I am super tired today, so I don't know if I will even shower, but since I do not need to do the baking soda daily, that might be OK.

That is all for now.

My Sister

There have been issues in my (our) lives because of my mother and sister, and as hard as it is. I know that I have to step back and let her go.

 

Luckily for me, I have wonderful (most of the time) kids, and an amazing, giving, loving, caring, smart, funny, pretty, handy, crafty and all around AWESOME  wife to keep me full of life and love and support and smiles.

 

My heart is full. My heart will always be full, it just depends on what I choose to fill it with. Not anger, not bitterness, nothing negative... Only joy. That is how I command it to be!

 

Oh, and my thimble!

 

Blessed Be!

Dear Danielle...

Since you are five years younger than me, you and I had different childhoods. Yes, you were exposed to the yelling, and what happened it me, however, by the time that you were old enough, mom had "smartened up", and didn't hit you the way that she hit me. She treated you so differently than she treated me.

 

SHE BEAT ME, Danielle, do you remember that at all? She hog tied me with a jump rope when I was in the 7th grade, so I would see what it would be like if she had to put me in the children's mental hospital...

 

You talk about emergencies and bailing her out... You do it then. I can't. I feel bad for her and the situation that she is in, but mostly I feel bad that she hasn't learned for her life choices, and the help that has been offered to her by BOTH OF US.

 

Her asking to live in a "corner of my garage" is emotional blackmail... She knows that Marie just moved out, so there seems that there is an extra room in my house. What kind of monster would I be, if there was in fact a spare room and I did make her live in a "corner of my garage"?

 

Plus, her "I'll only live in a corner" is B.S. and we both know it. She sprawls... I imagine that is one of the issues that Joe has with her.

 

Bottom line, you are in a MUCH better place to take her. Credit card debt or not, you and John EACH make more than I do...You have no kids and an actual spare room... Plus mom doesn't hate John. And yes, vise versa...

 

Why she didn't ask you in the first place, is beyond me.

 

Was she trying to cause issues in my life? Because that IS what would happen.

 

My answer is no, I have told her so, and she has responded.

 

If this causes issues with you and or her, I cannot help that. I have to protect my family unit and my sanity. Having her in my home, is not protecting those things...

 

To sum it up, and shine a light on it... Having her live with me... posses the same problems as her living with her mother. Does that make it clear why I cannot do it?

Hurt My Neck 6.25.13

I hurt my stoopid neck. I don't even know how I did it. I went to the Lobo Clinic, saw an NP, she was excellent. She gave me muscle relaxers and some meds, that even though I have been taking them already, I don't feel are helping. Last night, My Grrrl iced my neck until it burned. It felt good, but I think that tonight I will stick with heat, depending on how hot it is at home, lol!

I just want to feel better... Ugh!

That is all for now.

Worried about Robert

Robert texted My Grrrl last night to say he didn't want to go back to Socorro after this week... Lots of issues, mostly that he is not getting along with other kids... I am sure that there are kids there that are not his type of kids. I get that his roommate is not his type. I hope that his grumpiness last night was from lack of sleep. I have worry that the ceiling leak was kids soaking his bed... So, he's getting bullied... Lame

Last night was Robert's promotion ceremony. No one wanted to be there. Most people had tummy issues, were grumpy in general. We went, I am glad. When My Grrrl smiles at me, when she truly smiles... There is nothing better in the world.

 

Tonight is a baseball game for Cara with Upward Bound. I am looking forward to being in the box, or whatever it is... I am looking forward to the food. I am not looking forward to baseball... But I AM looking forward to talking up how awesome the OTHER Upward Bound is to Francis... Knowing that I won't have to deal with her anymore is priceless!

 

That is all for now... Still catching up from being out for 4 and a half days!

Monday, May 20th, 2013

Long, family filled weekend. Most of them have gone back to the states that they live in (for now), or crawled back under the rocks they hide under...

 

Tonight, Robert promotes from the 8th grade. He was very grumpy that I made him go to school today... He was over it by the time we got to the bus stop... Proof, once again, that a walk in the fresh air does a person good!

 

Today I am downloading an expansion pack from The Sims... I wish that I could stay home tonight to play, but alas, Robert's promotion...

 

Busy, busy day here at work, lots of catching up... LOTS...

 

Got up early to step and watch Orphan Black. Still like that show, still don't like getting up that early without something good to watch!

 

That is all for now...

Beltane

Happy Beltane!

 

Second day with no (regular) soda. I broke down and bought a diet. It is yucky, but I was tired of water, so I guess I need to get something besides water in my office? Tea?

 

Either way, I stepped and walked both ways yesterday, and I have stepped and walked to the bus this morning, depending on the wind, I might ask for a ride.

 

Tonight we want to have fire time, but again, that depends on the wind...

 

Optimistic about the weight loss... I have three months to lose 30 pounds, that might be aiming a bit high, but nonetheless... That is when my 20 year highschool reunion is... Then, one more month to my birthday...

 

That is all for now, I am busier than I thought that I would be today... :)

First day back after almost a week off for pneumonia. My Grrrl took good care of me, and I am sad to be back here. I was not ready to come back. I hope that she does not get sick too, I will not be able to take time off to take care of her, the way she cared for me. Not fair.

 

Marie helped me register last night for my first class. It was not as hard as I thought it would be, I am still glad she helped me.

 

Well, not much other news, I need to pay for my class now, and then I need to go online here at work and fill out the tuition reimbursement form!

 

So busy today, HAVE to pay for the class, the other thing can wait, just has to be done before I start school. No worries, a little over a month to go!

Day -123 until my 20 year reunion.

I did not step today.

I did not walk to the bus stop.

I MIGHT walk home, haven't decided yet.

I have had half a soda.

I have had an egg salad sammach.

I have had a quarter of a big bag of Cheetos (not HUG bag, but the big snack bag).

I might get another soda, depends on the change on my desk drawer.

I am making no forward progress today, and I am OK with that!

Tuesday April 2nd, 2013

Day one of.. however many there are to my high school reunion....

 

I stepped this morning, had a moderate breakfast, and an egg salad sammach for lunch. No soda so far today, and I want one so bad! Have to be strong.

 

Totally dropped the ball on an interview, and this has become a reoccurring thing lately... My allergy meds, or my allergies are making me tired and stoopid. I have a weird thing on my leg, and we don't know what it is...

 

I am falling behind in everything, and I am very concerned that it will only get worse when I start school. I hate letting my boss down... Some super assistant I am... More than not I am dropping the ball everything I touch it.

 

Tomorrow will be better, I know that I am just down because I am so tired... But right now, I feel low...

http://progressnownewmexico.pnstate.org/site/R?i=Srlm3z4KG3x21BjxLoLWFw  What could be bigger gay news than Hillary coming out for marriage, formerly anti-gay Sen. Rob Portman "evolving" to support marriage for his gay son, or new polling showing 58% of Americans supporting marriage? How about New Mexico legalizing marriage equality? The City of Santa Fe thinks it already is legal and they are about to make it official.  This morning we joined Mayor Coss and Councilor Bushee to announce that they are sponsoring an official resolution "recognizing that same-sex marriage is legal in New Mexico and encouraging New Mexico's county clerks to issue licenses to same-sex couples." That's a big deal and here's how it works: Santa Fe's City Attorney Geno Zamora dug into the law and found that: New Mexico's laws do not define marriage as between a man and a woman, the definitions are gender-neutral,   A statutory list of prohibited marriages does not list same-sex couples; Same-sex marriages from other states are already recognized by New Mexico law; To discriminate against same-sex couples would violate the New Mexico Constitution which requires equality under the law regardless of sex. His legal memo is the basis of the resolution. The city says the resolution provides the legal justification for county clerks to issue marriage licenses to loving, committed couples and tells couples how to file suit if they are denied. The resolution will be introduced next week, just as the Supreme Court takes up arguments on gay marriage and DOMA.  After waiting too long for New Mexico's legislature to do the right thing, others are stepping up and it's time we support them. Take a minute to read the city resolution, then express your support by signing on as a citizen co-sponsor!   We'll deliver the list of co-sponsors to the city council for the vote and you'll want your name on it.       Share the good news!  Click to post right to Facebook             Read the resolution

Well, I got my feelings hurt this morning, and I am not sure that I was wrong. I suggested a restaurant for us to try, new things you know? Now, I understand her issues, but she just didn't want to even consider it. I don't want to make her feel bad, but it really hurt that she is not willing to try new things with me. I am always will to do what she wants, I don't even think twice usually. The difference is that I WANT to do things that make her happy, and I don't feel like it is a sacrifice (most of the time). She doesn't seem to feel the same way?

 

She did text me later to apologize, and I am grateful, but that doesn't change the fact that I wanted to cry when she was so adamant about saying no. I know that she didn't mean to hurt me, and I did tell her that I was not mad, but mostly because I could not, and did not want to, get into it right then...

 

Anyhow, if she doesn't want to go, she doesn't have to, I'll take the kids or something. But maybe in the future, I will think a little more, weather I want to do the things that she suggests or not... Not just be so willing to go along with things.

 

Blessed Be!

My weekend March 17th, 2013

Friday night, My Grrrl and I stayed up until after 4:00, watching a Friends marathon! Laughed, at ALL THE THINGS! What a nice time.

Saturday, went to Nana's like always, then came home, rolled yarn, got tired, My Grrrrl finished the job while she let me take a nap! Then we got up and worked on the courtyard, lots of black widow drama!

I didnt go to my bosses party. I kinda of feel bad that we didnt, but I know that I would have felt out of place and nervous, and maybe I would have had fun, but probably not, and then, when we tried to leave, I would have felt rude for not staying longer. I know that My Grrrl would not have had fun, because of all of the drunk people. I can have fun anywhere, just about, if I out my head to it, once I got over the nerves, I think... Maybe that is the biggest reason that I SHOULD have gone, to face a fear? Oh well, we stayed home, and I got to have an apple pie from Whataburger, AND I got to stay in my Jammie's, much funnier, and nothing to fear... Am I a whimp?

Just between you and me, I am already debating weather I should bale on my awards ceremony... I don't like getting up in front of people... :( I won't bale, there's a free meal in it, haha!

Well, we had fire time tonight with the kids. So much (inappropriate at times) fun! I had some soda with dinner. Soda is not agreeing with my lately, but I just can't stop drinking it... What the hell is wrong with me?

I will end this now, time to get snug as a bug in a rug... In bed!

Good night and
Blessed Be!

Wooden's Day, march 13th, 2013

Beautiful day outside. I know, because I have seen outside when I leave my dungeon to go pee! LOL

 

I am so tired today, I regret getting up so early to come in... Ugh! I have plenty of sick time... I should just use it! Oh well, to late now, I'm in now! Maybe Ill head out a bit early today? We'll see.

 

My Grrrls glasses are in, so we could go do that if I did leave early. :)

 

Robert is here, should have been gone almost an hour ago, but, as usual, when letting my mother and a 13 year old boy make the plans, there was a mis-communication! LOL

 

Oh well, early to bed tonight... I really wish that Netflix worked here in my office. I have nothing to do, and I could totally be doing my zero reports. Watching a movie or show makes it seem to go faster...

 

Oh well, guess that I better get to it now.

 

Blessed Be!

Wooden's Day 3.6.13

Long, productive day... Didn't really feel like I got much done though, not on paper at least... Oh well....

My head hurts, so bad it's making me sick to my stomach... Not good. To bad tomorrow is Thor's Day... If I called in for legitimate illness, My Grrrl would either have to not go do something she said she would, and needs to... Or she would go, and I'd be home all alone, well, me and the dogs! I don't want to stay home cuz I'm sick, I want to stay home so we can have a nekked pajama day....

Texting on the bus is not a good idea to help this matter, so I'll end this blog now, but I'm glad that I did it, I had fallen off th wagon again... Lol

Blessed Be

Wooden's Day, Feb 20th, 2013

I don't want to fight today.

 

 

Difference of opinion on how to handle the grumpy ungrateful 17 year old. Think that I started a fight.

 

I don't want to fight today.

 

 

I cannot be as detached as some people would have me be. Believe it or not, I had (have) a plan or reason for why I was still talking to her after others think that I should have walked away.

 

 

I don't want to fight today.

 

 

We have different parenting types, and I really think that there is more to other peoples foul moods than my disagreeing with them...

 

I don't want to fight today.

 

 

 

I hope that this will all have blown over by the time that I go home.

 

 

 

I don't want to fight today.

I don't want to fight today.

I don't want to fight today.

I don't want to fight today.

I don't want to fight today.

Tuesday, 2.19.13

Today would have been my Uncle Paul's 60th birthday... I miss him... That is really all that I have today. It has been a busy but productive day, and I will be glad when it is over. Face Off comes on tonight... WOOHOO...  Looking forward to rest and relaxation in bed.

 

Almost done with John & Julie's Yule gift for this year. Good for me. Trying to get stuff done, and be ready, so that I have things off of my plate before I start school.

 

I am nervous but excited to be going back to school. I wish that I could start sooner, I do need to take the rest of the Accuplacer, just get one more point and then... I am not sure what, but something good will happen when I get that one more point. Then I need to talk to someone about costs...   I have to figure out how to afford the initial semester. I am sure that we can do it. I know that we can.

 

Anyhow, I have to get back to work now, lunch is over!

 

Blessed Be!

Freya's Day 2. 15.13

Busy day at work.

 

Supposed to be a GIANT meteor at lunch time. I will be stuck in a meeting, but the room has a view, If I get there early enough I can get a good window seat!?

 

Don't have much to say tody, maybe I will later. There are many things going on at work, many things at home too. I want to clean up the garage this weekend, going to make Cara help. Would be nice if I could figure a way to hang that bike in there too. If I could figure out how to make it work to ride it. I could ride to CNM when I start? Ahhh, who am I kidding? LOL! If I had that tricycle I wanted like 12 years ago, that would be a different story, but how would I get that on the bus bike rack... See, there is always a draw back!

 

Anyhow, this weekend, clean garage, which I hope to get the majority of done tonight, then, laundry tomorrow, and a Saw marathon to boot! Have to go see Nana, but other than that... laundry, crochet & Saw... That is what this weekend consists of!

 

Blessed Be!

Thor's Day 2.14.13

* Disclaimer... I just read thru this blog, and I am nervous to post it, but I have to write what is on my mind, and this is what is on my mind.

 

 

 

40 hours without a soda. Head aches, but I am going to stick with it until I get thru the withdrawals! I didn't step this morning, because I woke up last night and couldn't sleep. I am going to start walking to the bus stop again after I take time off for Cara's surgery, so start of March. I will still need a jacket, and there might be some days that I still want a ride, but that is the plan. I would like it if My Grrrl gets up when I leave if she drives me or not. Might make getting things done in a timely manner, and routines, etc going.

 

Things are getting to me, and I am sure it has to do with the soda jones! Also, has to do with my being nervous about going back to school. I do a lot of things at home, those are usually things that I want done, but no one else does, even if they have been asked. So, if I need them done to be at ease, and no one does them, and I still need to do them, but I have school work to do, what the hell am I gonna do? Ill go crazy in no time.

 

She talks about having the kids step it up... I am not sure that really needs to be done, I mean, yes, they need to stay on op of their responsibilities without being told, but really, if she just does what I ask of her, then things will be fine. I don't mean to belittle what she does, but I did it for 12 years, with small children. I really don't see what the big deal is. Especially when she talks about all the shows she watched that day, or what have you, and mean while, I ask her to drop some stuff off at Goodwill, and she won't? Why not? Does she not realize that this means more work for me over the weekend, and that I would like some down time, and my idea of down time does not include running errands all over town, that she could totally go do. Little things like that, and grocery shopping, and yes, she tells me that is more fun with me than alone, and while that is flattering, I don't want to go sometimes, and couldn't those just be the exception when she goes alone?

 

Now, I don't think that this is the soda jones anymore. I have had these things on my mind for a while, and for some reason I ALWAYS cave when it comes to the things that I want or need. Hell, I am still occasionally buying her smokes, and she still smokes in the van... I have said that needs to stop so many times, and then I take it back, and yes, that is confusing as hell, but maybe, just maybe, she should know that by now, and just not even ask...

 

And I, I need to grow a fu*king spine...

 

I don't see how I can go back to school... I just don't. I feel like a single working mother with 4 occasionally helpful kids... I can't live my life like this, and the worst part is, that things blow up, and changes are talked about, and even occasionally implemented, and then, AS ALWAYS, they fall back apart. Im tired of the vicious cycle. I want change. I need to be the change that I want to see in the world, in my world.... Not sure what that means, I guess that is the first step, right?

 

Blessed Be!

Wooden's Day, 2.13.13

Today is the monthly meeting, and it is in a TINY room, and there is nothing that I can do about it! I was trying to devise ways to cheat the system to make sure that we get a good room for next year! Not sure if it would work, but Im still thinking about it. I think that it is going to come down to the fact that we have to move the meeting dates, some of them at least.

 

Anyhow, I am cold, my neck hurts, and today starts our giving up of soda and fast food. Good for us! All I waned to do on the way in to work this morning, was hit the drive thru, but I didn't! Good for me!

 

I hope that I can keep it up the entire 40 days!

 

Well, that is all for now, I better go, my boss keeps adding things for me to do to prep for today's  meeting, and I WAS DONE ALREADY!

 

Blessed Be!

Sun's Day, 2.10.13

So tired today.
Neck hurts... Must have slept wrong.

Cara's chest hurts, kind of makes me nervous, but I'm sure it's because she slept wrong too...
Monday is fast approaching...

I think that I would have to be in a coma to actually stay in bed for an entire day, but I feel like I need a day like that...maybe I won't feel like that after I start working out?

Ill start in the morning again, while I watch The Walking Dead! Super excited for it!

Dinner soon, half way homemade chicken noodle soup!

That's all for now!

Blessed Be!

Thor's Day 2.7.13

Tired, toe kept me up from 3:00 on, at least it doesn't hurt right now.

My Grrrl has a slashed finger, so I am making dinner and doing the dishes. Have to say, that I kind of enjoy it. I also have to say, that most of the nights so far, ok, both... She has taken over and made dinner after I started... D'oh! No wonder I don't mind! LOL

 

Tonight, I am looking forward to rice and sloppy joe... Yum...

 

Last night, My Grrrl wanted pancakes, I was not hungry, otherwise I would have been all over it, well, plus, I was super tired!

 

Tonight, new Big Bang! Then, off to bed!

 

Blessed Be!

No matter what you do to prepare your children, you have to let them go to do their own thing.


Is this the truth, or just an excuse that bad parents use when their grown kids fail to thrive??? I a, sure that it depends on the parents and the circumstances...

However, lately, I feel like, even though I think that I have done all that I can (most of the time at least), I am the failed parent that uses that as an excuse as to why my oldest daughter fails the thrive, my youngest daughter seems to have lack of respect for everyone, every adult...ok, me and My Grrrrl, and my son, well he is ok, other than that he be refuses to live up to his potential..

Don't know what do to for any of them...love by example???

Wooden's Day, January 30th, 2013

Things have NOT slowed down at work, at all... Well, yes they have. I don't have to do the billing anymore, just hand it off, but now things are just at a harried pace, not a massive cluster fu*k pace... I get things done, but I do not have down time, and as for the projects that I want to tackle, which are really just screw up fixes... No time... How,sad is it that I am thinking about going in on the weekend, off the clock to work on these things? I have still not ma a dent in even Novembers productivity zero report, and both November and December are due by the middle of next month... No way is that going to happen!

I just want to be good at my job, and actually get it done from time to time...

Tonight, I was going to make this thing with Manwhich in it...I blanked that you have to add meat to the Manwhich mix...It's really just gloried spaghetti sauce. Guess we will be getting something from out, but who knows what, and then EVERYONE is going to bed early. Robert has already agreed, so he must really not feel well... I know Marie won't have an issue with it... I just want to actually do it...I talk a big talk,even about going to bed early, and I don't...I want to be in bed by 7:30, crochet in lap...TV on... Best Grrrl by my side...that is a worthy goal!

Must not have slept well last night, I am still tired. Looking forward to going to the work diner with my boss and the two new directors. But, as always, with any new social type thing, I am nervous...almost so nervous that I am trying to talk myself out of going...

Maybe ill feel better after my morning shower?

Thor's Day January 24th, 2012

Misty's head hurts today.

The meds that Misty is on are not working yet.

Misty can't seem to get ahead of anything today.

Misty had a good day yesterday.

Misty needs a week of days like yesterday, but Misty knows that

Misty would be antsy after the second day, no matter how many movie marathons we have!

Misty needs to do ED Minutes and Misty dislikes doing minutes, ESPECIALLY without an Agenda.

Misty thinks that is a strange thing for Misty to be saying and thinking...

 

 

Misty is excited to work on her skirt this weekend, and for Her Grrrl

to work on their Book Of Shadows.

 

Misty knows that it will get better!

 

 

Blessed Be!

Wednesday January 2nd, 2013... New Beginnings

I am thinking about going back to school. It was talked about this weekend, and them my (ever so awesome) boss brought it up today. She said she could get me more money if I had degrees...

 

So, here I go, ever so scared... down the road to higher education!

 

So many questions, not even sure of the first step... I emailed my friend in the big wigs office and asked him about tuition reimbursement and what not, he just finished his masters, so he can maybe at least head me in the right direction? I know that I have to start and I get reimbursed for classes... And maybe I get financial aid?

 

Talked to my friend up front. Seems that tuition reimbursement will be easy... Now, the classes? Nights and weekends? Online?

 

Marie and I are going to look at the catalog to see what I need to take and I am going to start saving, or doing whatever I need to do to get financial aid and grants and what not.

 

Have not, and will not share this with my mother and sister. I don't want to hear any advise or "praise" from them, especially my mother...

 

I am nervous, and I know that it will be hard...

 

Blessed Be!

Misty
