I was just making my bed and broke a nail way down where if it gets snagged on something it’s going to hurt like a mother fudger Earlier today I went out to the Walmart on Grape road. I hate going out there because of all the traffic, but I wanted to see how their selection of yarn was. It sucked, by the way On the way home from there traffic was pretty heavy, I was at a red light behind cars and there were cars behind me. Light turned green, people started going so I started going then the guy in front of me stopped really fast so I had to stop really fast, almost hit him but breathed a sigh of relief that I didn’t. My relief was very short lived when the lady behind me ran into the back of me. The crash was loud and I felt like I banged against the seat hard, my neck is a little sore and I still have a headache. But there was no damage on my car or on hers. That’s the second time I’ve been hit in 2 or 3 months and both times weren’t my fault, and both times there was no damage on the car I was driving. They say stuff like this happens in 3’s and I really really do not want it happening again. I don’t like being ran into

A couple months ago I had gone to McDonald’s and when I got to the window to get my food they asked me to pull up to the yellow lines because it wasn’t ready yet. I pulled up and sat there for 10 minutes waiting. Finally someone came out and asked what I had orded, she went back in, about 5 minutes later brought it out. I think they forgot about me. So I vowed to myself that I’d never pull forward at McDonald’s again. Last night we went there and they asked me to pull forward. I told the lady very nicely that I’d rather not because the last time I did they forgot about me. She said they wouldn’t forget and I said I’ll just wait here. So she went and got someone else to come over and ask me to pull forward. The lady said it’ll only take 2 minutes. I said 2 minutes isn’t that long, I’ll just wait here. I did sit there and wait. There was already someone else pulled up at the yellow lines waiting anyway. I think I screwed up their whole system because they took the person in front of me the wrong bag of food. That person was still waiting when I left. Why should anyone have to pull forward and wait while everyone behind them gets their food. I’ve never been though any other drive thru that does that. Usually I’m very compliant about these kinds of things and never say no when someone asks me to do something, so I felt rather good that I said no and stuck to it for once, ever if it was at a drive thru

Talking to Brian is like talking to the wall. Neither of them listen to me nor do they answer. Maybe that’s why I talk to myself so much, but then I don’t listen to me either

My daughter has a bladder infection. She got a liquid antibiotic to take. It tastes terrible and I had to fight with her to get her to take it. I called the doctor and they said the only other thing was a chew-able that tasted icky and a huge pill you could swallow. Well I don’t think she could swallow a huge pill. Tuesday night my ex picked the kids up, I told him that Autumn didn’t like the medicine and good luck getting her to take it. He called me Wednesday morning and told me that he was up till 11 trying to get her to take it and she wouldn’t so he threw it away. HE THREW IT AWAY! And he then tells me I need to call the doctor again and get something else. So I called the doctor back, only talked to the nurse. She sounded shocked that he threw the medication away. She said the only other thing she knew of was shots. 3 shots 3 days in a row that were really painful. But she was going to check with the doctor to see if there wasn’t another med we could give her first. I missed the call back from them last night so I need to call today and see what they say. It’s just really, well stupid that he’d throw the medicine away before he even talked to me about it. I guess we might have been able to get it flavored at the pharmacy and she could have tried it that way. The other thing is that this man doesn’t tell me anything and he makes it very hard to talk to him about anything. All I want to discuss is the kids and what’s going on but all I normally can’t get anything out of him. This morning Donald walked out the door to catch the bus and he said “I have to go to grandma’s after school because Mary (the usual babysitter) won’t be home.” I just smiled and said ok honey. Then I’m thinking oh shit, does grandma even know he’s going over there, is she going to be home. Bob never informed me of this. So I called grandma and she said that Bob had called her on Sunday about it. SUNDAY! Hello, why didn’t he tell me this? It’d be really helpful if I knew were I was picking my kids up after work. This shared custody bullshit doesn’t work if the parents aren’t communicating with each other. If the court system in this country wasn’t so fucked up they’d be no such thing. There shouldn’t be any such thing. It just doesn’t work.

I have a little rant. Just about past and present crap.I had someone who I thought was my best friend, would stick by me though thick and thin. But when the going got tough she totally bailed on me. At least that’s the way I feel about it. A little while back, when I was married my husband got really crappy with my oldest daughter. I told my friend about it and she said I could come stay with her for the weekend. So I packed me and the kids up and went over there. Of course I had been wanting to leave the man, but had no where to go and no money to get a place so my friend insisted that I stay there with her and her family. She said she would be fine with it, that we could stay as long as we needed, if you’re here for a year it’s ok. On and on about how fine she was with it. The kids and I had been there for 2 months and I actually thought things were going ok. Of course it got a little rough every now and then but I thought we were managing pretty well. Until one morning I was outside smoking and she came walking out of the house with a suitcase. She said that she couldn’t take us being there anymore and that she was taking herself and her kids to stay with her parents until me and my kids were gone. (This woman is the wife of my brother) So I’m left there with my brother and my kids, and his wife and kids are gonna be staying elsewhere. wth was I supposed to do. I couldn’t stay there knowing full well that I was the reason she left. I don’t want to be the one that’s blamed for breaking up their marriage. So I packed me and the kids up and went back to live with my husband. The way I see it is that she kicked me out without actually telling me to get out. She could have sat down and told me that it was stressing her out to much or what have you. You don’t just pack yourself and kids up and leave your home and husband like that. And put the blame on me. For me that was the end of our friendship. Fast forward to this year, she went back to school to become a hygienist and she was always complaining about how she doesn’t get to spend enough time with her kids. Yet every time I see her she doesn’t have them, where are they? At the babysitters. Ok, so she’s just sitting around at grandma’s complaining that she doesn’t see them, yet she left them with the sitter. That makes no sense to me what-so-ever. The other she was talking about going out to the bar with her classmates. Her classmates are like 22 and 23 and single. She’s almost 30 and has 2 kids and a husband sitting at home. Why the hell is she out bar hopping. She already spends 2 or 3 nights a week at school. Why not go home to be with your family. Maybe it’s just how I was raised, but it just doesn’t seem right to me. She doesn’t seem right.

Last night my kids got here and told me that their dad had taken them shopping. He let them pick out what they wanted for christmas. Autumn says “Dad spent $300. yesterday” I put on a smile and ask what they picked out. One of them got some $50 toy and so did the other and all this other stuff. It was nice to see them so happy and excited. I don’t have the money that my ex does, I can’t go out and buy the kids stuff like that. I got them each a couple things they asked for, but nothing over twenty bucks. At my house each kid has 5 or 6 gifts. One of them is a pack of socks, the other is an outfit, so that gives them 3 or 4 toys. I hope they’re not too disappointed. I suppose it could be a lot worse, I could have not been able to get them anything. And they do need to learn that they can’t have everything they want and that not everyone is as well off as their father. I don’t really feel like I have to compete with him, mainly because there’s no way I could without charging up a huge credit card bill that I wouldn’t be able to pay off. So let him blow his money on them and I’ll save mine!

Last week I went to the license branch to transfer the plate from my van to my car. One would think that would be easy peasy, but oh no, not for me. On Nov. 7 they started some new stupid bullshit where if your name on your social security card doesn’t match the name on your license they won’t do anything for you. Fourteen years my name hasn’t matched and I’ve never had a problem with it up until now. Because all the sudden they want to crack down on fraud. What do I have do? I have to go to the social security office. I knew it wasn’t going to be fun, but I didn’t know it was going to be as bad as it was. There was about 40 or 50 people in this little place, all with their number, waiting to be called. We were standing there about 30 minutes, just waiting and this woman who had been there before us saw someone get called up who hadn’t been waiting as long as she had been and she started bitching about it. She said she’d been waiting for an hour and a half. Funny thing was that I got called before her too and she was still sitting there wait when I left Anyway, there’s no way I would have made it though that without Brian with me. Walking in there with all those people staring at you and then having to wait an hour. I would have walked in and walked right back out if he’d not gone with me. Now on Wednesday I have to go back to the license branch to get my plate switched. Boy life sure is fun

I had 2 fillings that needed replaced, so I went and had that done this morning. Now the side of my mouth is sore. The last filling I had didn’t cause me any discomfort, I don’t know why these 2 are. Actually it doesn’t feel like he did a great job on the top tooth. It feels like the back of the filling is hanging slightly off my tooth.
