Do they think we will really forget?

Advisers: Bush to shift message to economy

With the November elections fast approaching, White House advisers say President Bush will change his message on the campaign trail this week from the Iraq war to who are the best stewards of matters affecting the wallet.

Like this is gonna make people forget about the war. Does his administration really think we are that stupid. Besides the fact, for this to work, the democrats would have to drop the war talk as well.

This is just going overboard

No more tag, or touch football at recess because it is to dangerous. Come on people!!! Have kids suddenly become shrinking violets that can't survive a skinned knee or two, or in my case 300. This keeps up and we'll be wrapping them in bubble wrap every morning when they get out of bed.

I just wonder, if you follow along this thought path, how in the world are humans still alive. When I was a toddler, the carseat was optional, much less the whole, sit in a booster seat until you 8.I didn't have bicycle helmets and knee pads. I climbed trees, threw rocks, played tag and Red Rover, Red Rover, won't you please come over with kids three times my size ( and got clotheslined on many occassions.) It must be a miracle I have survived to adulthood.

Had it up to HERE

Apparently all I've been through over the last few weeks is catching up with me. Today has not been a good day. Reasons:

1. The Depo shot I got last week is messing with my head so I am both really really tired and really really irritable.
2. The reason this is bad is because I hardly ever let my ill side show. I am typically the sweetest most nicest person you could hope to find (don't believe me, ask my friends :P)
3. I just found out the mortgage payment I submitted by Credit Card through Western Union on the 6th of October, was declined by Chase Mortgage!!!! WTF!!! Now its really late, and I have late fees to pay, and they don't have 24/7 customer support!!!!!! I have to stress over this til in the morning.
4. Pretty much I'm sick of everything - work, bills, exhusbands, family, and on and on and on, and not because they have done anything in particular, its just my system has had as much as it can handle.
5. I have no one to hold me while i cry this out of my system (WHICH SUCKS!!!!!!!!)
6. I can't show this at the office because I am a manager and I can't vent about things like this anymore in the workplace (for any co-workers reading this, I will use my Jedi mind tricks to make you forget it)

Well it seems I still have a bit of my sense of humor left.

Bah, I know I'll get over this, but right now I want to rewind 6 months to when I thought my life was normal.

Maybe a good nights sleep will help....if not that then a good drunken stupor.

The way I've been feeling for the last 2 weeks

Music Video Codes By VideoCode.ORG



Yep, I got a divorce, can you guess why?

Here's the deal, we've had issues for a while, all which could have been worked out in counciling i'm sure. But he couldn't give up the girl. After 4 chances to do so, I said enough and went to the lawyers and started the process. A week and a half later, I was officially a single woman.

Luckily, I have an extremly easy nature, and refuse to be miserable or let anyone else be miserable because of me, no matter how much they deserve to be. We are still "friends" I use that loosely for now, but I'm sure we will be true friends eventually. I do this mainly for our daughter so that her life isn't made even more complicated than it already is.

I'm keeping our new house, been in it only 3 months, thanks to him being willing to cover two months of the mortgage and allow me to recoup the savings i wiped out on the divorce.

I want to say thanks to all my friends who have listened to me cry, vent, get mad, get sad, and helped me to deal with it all. I'm sure I'll be leaning on you all, some more than others, to get through some bad days which I am sure will be coming along from time to time.

But life goes on, and this is a new experience for me, I haven't been single since I was 16, its a very strange feeling....
