The ones you do the most for...

 Always seem to not realize it. Is that how it always works? Or maybe I just don't notice when they notice. Thinking back, I mean my mom cooked meals, took me places, loved me no matter what... I don't remember thinking WOW my mom does SO MUCH FOR ME... Because, I guess as a kid, that does not cross your mind. So I should not feel so bad that I am unappreciated I suppose. One day they will look back and realize, and then be thankful. I just hope I am alive and well so they can call me and kiss my ass!

 Today has not been the best day. Last night my mom told me about her boyfriend, his drinking problem, and her plans to leave. I think its a great plan, and I hope that she does do it. Part of me really does not think she will though, she's been through this before and never done anything about it.

 Then I get a letter from the orthodontist. My account is behind because I was charged a late fee, for missing ONE appointment in two years. So that sucked, since of course things are already behind. Then the dryer smelled like burning rubber, turns out the barrel stopped working. Of course the kids were on my butt to take them all over the place, so I went to leave and take them, and the car would not start (dead battery again)

 This of course caused issues because they had told friends they would be here or there or whatever, and now could not go. Horrible mom I am I cannot push a car into the garage MYSELF to hook it up to the battery charger. Perhaps next time I should risk being run over to give it a go?

 When I look at life though I am happy. I have my own home, and a healthy family, friends who care about me, and a job. What more could I really want? A working dryer? Yeah sure...but life goes on without it. If you had everything handed to you, then you would not really ever appreciate it. I think that is why this happens. To show you what you have, and have forgotten about.

  1. They will see all that you do eventually, just like we did. They should be happy for what they have too, and if they really wanted to go so bad, should have helped you push the car, they are all able bodied. :) As for your mom, this seems to be a pattern with her. I hope she breaks it, like I did.

Its not always 50/50

 Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter.  So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well.  God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)

8 years at the same job!

 I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family.  So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have ...

The Lady In Red

  T he Frisco festival was this weekend. Fun times. Free rides, well this year half the rides were free. A band playing live and just fun all around. We always go of course, any time anything is free, were there!  Since we are not cool Destiny went with some friends and not us. Bailey was staying the night with a buddy so the 2 girls that were home, I told could bring a friend... Fun times.  At one point they were waiting in line for a slide/funhouse ride, after a certain point of waiting in line they were finally up to the part with the sign: At the bottom the sign says "If you are in the red sorry you cannot ride the ride"  Hannah is standing there, and she is looking quite concerned after a while... She looks at me and she says "mama, Lauren cannot ride this ride." then she points to the sign.  Oh yes, Lauren is VERY MUCH so over the green line... Heck Lauren is taller than Hannah so I am thinking what is your deal girl??!  Hannah then looks ...
