My day started like any other. I was awakened by my wife...... an hour earlier then i needed. I looked out the window to see the snow I had been praying would be as tall as my car, was only half way up the wheels. Went back to bed! Got up started to get dressed brush my hair etc.... my brush kept in my dresser drawer was missing, no where to be found. Get half my clothes on as not to wrinkle my good black slacks and start to make my boy his school lunch. I walked into the living room and found the entire brand new bag of kitty litter busted open and spread across the living room floor....cat siting next to it as if to say hey mom look what i can do! I Asked my wife to make the boy's lunch as I proceed to grab hands full of kitty litter and shove them into a garbage bag. I call out to my wife "well at least she didn't pee in it" just as I reach the bottom of the pile and slide my fingers right into warm cat pee. The cat not understanding why I was picking up her masterpiece runs over and tries to cover it up again, all annoyed that my hand had uncovered what she so proudly hid. The next 15 to 20 minutes were spent trying to sweep up used kitty litter out of my carpet fallowed by vigorous scrubbing with lysol and a final mist of animal repellent Febreeze. Needless to say we were obviously late getting to work. With the pee and the snow shining bright on my morning, i began my work day with a call from the que that was opened yet said it was closed in the case notes....found the issue was clarify and continued to trouble shoot the call for 1 1/2 hrs. I was speaking with a retard who wouldn't shut up long enough to let me help her fix their videos, when Winnie came over to my cube to deliver a MSG. Asks me if i'm on a call which I obviously am and tells me that my grandmother is on the phone... all I could say was "no, no, Winnie, that's not good...did she sound OK???" "Yeah she sounds ok was the reply." Just then my wife comes to me saying "Mandy, your grandmother just called saying all the power is out." Now we are talking about my grandmother whom I love much, stranded at my house in the snow with no heat no electricity no fire wood!! Work would not let me bring her there to wait out our shift so i left once again through the snow back home. Stopped at the store got 4 bundles of fire wood which I might add gave me one hell of a nasty splinter, and made my way home. My grandmother was happy to see me and quickly let me in, as in my hands was the first of 4 bundles of fire wood. One at a time I brought in the bundles, on my way to get the last bundle I slipped through the slushy ice I had created from walking back and forth across the side walk. Got back inside and found I had ripped the side off my good black slacks. Took off my pants and started to make the fire. One essential ingredient was missing however the fire-starter/kindling was missing. I went through most of the sunday newspaper and about 20 paper bags and could not get it lit. I finally used a matchstick/fire-starter I had to purchase from the grocery store. It never did light. By this time the lights are back on its half way through my work shift and my wife was ready for me to get back to work as she doesn't like me out in the snow. Put on my only pair of clean pants which were jeans which violates the work dress code and left to get back to work. As soon as I pulled out of my parking space the car began to shutter but became super noticeable when hitting 60 on the highway. this continued all the way to work. Got to work and had to deal with all, asking questions and laughing at my situations.....it's a bad day |

So ok..... Been working and working and working and working I feel like the enigizer bunny with a jet pack for a batery that has an endless supply of fule.
Ok so maybe thats how i wish I felt! instead im working and working 71 hrs this week :) and im sick. Same old shit different period of my life. I seriously need to quit smoking for real because im tired of getting this nasty hacking cough once a year and having it last for 3 months. My doctor is setting me up with patches and if i chose welbutrin. It could be a good thing. I quit for 3 weeks and went right back to it when I was on the gum. Maybe the patches will do me some good!! But on a brighter note my scooter comes in tomorrow!!! YAY FOR ME!!!!!
:) i can't wait to go a zummin along @ 60 mph up and down the mountains!!!!! If i can get my Polka Dots to ride with me then we will def purchase another and maybe even a small kids scooter or atv for my boy to play with!!!!!! Life is sweet.....
And just because it was so funny i have to put it down here to remember for a rainy day.
We went to this awesome mom and pop throw back from the 50's amusment park. There was this awesome little maze called Crystal Palace that Will decided we should go in. It was kinda funky like a huge room filed with narrow passage ways all in glass. "like a mirror maze but with glass" Anyway im walking along and its slightly boring because i can see the people in fornt of me and the directions they were taking to get out, that when i turned around and realised that Will was just fallowing me. Thats no fun for him i thought so i turned him around and got him lost. As soon as i saw that he couldn't find his way back to me i took off full speed ahead to where i thought I had seen someone get out eairler. I ran face first into the outside layer of glass not knowing my fate of course :) OMG I can just imagine how it must have looked from the outside where erin was sitting :) all I can do is lol @ myself and Erin said she saw me start running and started to say to her self in her head no no mandy no nooooooo and then splat. I fell back holding my nose I had a huge red bump on my forhead and gave myself a concusion. :0 but still it was funny. Erin came running to help me thinking i was seriously hurt ... good thing it was plexi glass!!! anyway I saw her come running and she couldn't find a way in and then I looked up and just started LOL seriously and the operator came in after me to make sure I was ok and once Erin saw I was lol she started lol and all the old people who were standing there were appauled that she was lol at me so she had to yell out shes loling shes loling shes not hurt. OMG it was so freeking funny. I went to go try and find the real exit and turn the corner to find will running SMACK into another window and fall back to his ass. I grabbed his hand and we got out. Anyway it really was too funny for words i guess it was one of thoes u had to be there times. |

The family, so scared before, felt they had to come out of their hiding spot. They were almost discovered, and there was nothing. No food, no light, no warmth, just their huddled bodies. It was me who first suggested it. To leave the hole in the wall for sanity's sake. We would eventually have died, crammed in there, fearing our darkest demons. Papa understood yet grabbed my foot as I slithered out of the narrow passage before I left, and begged me to stay, to come back at least and never to leave this world, where he cherished my soul. I remember the thought of telling him goodbye, but I knew I would never be able to utter those words even upon my death bed.
The light burned, even though it was just a glow from the moon. As soon as Mama saw them comming, she stuffed every last one of us in there and Papa locked us in from the inside. The light was so welcomed that I did not care if it burned, and at first I was blinded. I knew what I had to do. I looked down at my trusty watch, whose face was already cracked from the first day Papa bought it for me. Tommy Benson, "a terrible child indeed," Mama said after that day, held me down and smashed it with the biggest rock he could find, then threw it at my bleeding face and laughed as if he knew that I didn't care about the blood or the pain. But the watch my papa so greatly entrusted me to keep, my responsibility, my manhood, he knew it was that he should crush.
The sound of my mother crying soon filled my ears and a hand on my shoulder. "Papa," I said turning to see what that hole had done to him. His wiskers had grown past and into his ears. His eyes, as sore as mine I'm sure, were squeezing, plusating trying to adjust. "Son, I want you to know how proud we all are of you. We do not want you to go. If we should die, it should all be together." "But there is no food left, Papa."
I can hear poor Christine's belly rumbling harder than my own. "You know that if I am caught, I can run faster than the wind, if I have to, and it was me who rescued Beth from under the house when she got stuck trying to find Old Whiskers. Papa, I know it should be me who goes most of all, because you can no longer run. I saw you break your leg trying to help us all up the ladder. I saw you fall, Papa and I know you need medicine. I will make it down to the cellar and retrieve what those monsters left. And I will run to Doc Ulster's house and find you some help Papa."
"Son, although you are correct, I cannot run, I will never be able to let you go alone. I myself have thought long and hard about this, since at first you had suggested it. Please do me the honor of being at your side or die trying."
Papa did something unexpected next. It was as if he were to sit us down, like old times and tell us a story. One by one, he pulled our familly from the hole. |

I know it ended so nasty and I wouldn't have chosen that in a million years if i didn't think it would take what it did. I didn't want Nasser's past to come up and haunt you once a month in a phone call reminding anyone it existed. I only came back for a brief time to make sure the person he chose was at least head strong enough to take care of what once was mine. I had no intentions of bugging you guys forever, it wouldn't be fair for you Nasser or your children. Just needed to know in my heart that letting him go was the best thing for him after all. If I really thought you were such a loser I would have fought tooth and nail to get him away from you. Wouldn't you have done the same? All original intentions aside I am glad I got to be friends with you. There were several times when you above anyone else actually stood by my side and I know there were times I was there for you. Althought I know this is not what I should be saying......your number is still in my phone even after all the nastiness I still can't bring myself to delete it and something im sure you will lol at i try to call my own cell phone and find myself dialing your number accidentally...somehow it just won't leave my mind. The phone isn't hard to use if you ever need to use it.
I agree sleeping dogs should lie.
:) have many cute chubby babies and teach them kindness, compassion, humbleness and pride.
Peace out....peace out.... |

Just because your job and lifestyle or choice of partner is not mine doesn't make it any less worth to you Annie, and to be honest about 99% of what I have said over the past few months has been out of pure spite and reaction. It served its purpose though which was to make a clean break and not a fracture. You chose your life and it gives you joy and contentment just as long as you have that it doesn't matter if you work for shell or service master!! You are good at your job and proud of it as you should be.
Your mother should be proud of you! That is not to say mine isn't either. 2 different paths that strangely met at a fork in the road is all. As far as your name being on my lips I was simply trying to make the point of look I was there I know how it is and to be honest I had enough involvement to understand what she was saying in her LJ, my response however had nothing to do with your job... It had to do with you driving her places an actual response to your mother bringing up the issue. I dropped it quite a long time ago now, just as you have but I will defend myself just as you will defend yourself. I am sorry I mentioned your name. I am glad I have been taken off the damn list that was my entire point, your mom just wanted to take a bat to a hornets nest knowing what would happen for her own enjoyment. Its not like I didn't try and be nice, but if you stick a pole in my face and wave it around I'm going to grab it and hit you with it which is exactly what has happened. Your name is definitely dropped off my lips no argues with that. Enjoy the life you have made for your self. It is worth every ounce of energy you put into it as long as you are proud of yourself and stand behind your actions. |

What you do, my love, is grab my hand and Will's hand, and we take off down the path together. And it doesn't matter which path we choose, just as long as we hold on tight to each other, and never let go. As long as we are all together, the world can crumble around us, and we'll still be complete. At least I will...and I just hope that you will be too. I LOVE YOU!!!!

You are... WAIT! - you're none of the Sins you're
an Angel!
Perfect, or close enough, and annoyingly so! Did
you always
behave so 'just right'. ARGHHH . You can annoy the
hell outta
people with your attitude, but no doubt your church
is real happy
with you. The positive side certainly outweighs the
negative,
after all, you do chores, are smart, are cute, do
charity work.
Least you know what a perfect saint you are. You
just make the rest
of us sinners vomit. Perhaps you could break the
rules once in a while, go wild - Eat an extra
cookie or something.
However - congratulations on being the most pure,
of the entire human race.
