Working too hard

Work is hard, teenagers are hard, relationships are hard. Is there anything in life that we can call easy?

I know what is easy, gaining weight, drinking too much, getting wrinkles, and going in to debt!

Okay, yes, I'm glum. Sorry for the negative mood. If anybody out there has any words of encouragement for me, I would deeply appreciate it.

Thanks blogger buddies!

Vacation time over

I did make it to the "fake" beach on Tuesday. It was actually very peaceful. The sun played peek-a-boo with the clouds which kept everything cool and breezy.

Yesterday I slept half of the day. Wow! Some vacation this is turning out to be!

Tomorrow I have to attend meetings for half the day, so I guess today is officially my last day of time off. What a bummer. I could really use about 2 weeks. Life is cruel, then you die or you make faces like this.

Feeling a little Beachy

I wanted to go to the state park and lie on the fake beach. I was going to pretend I was at the real beach in Florida. Unfortunately, the sun is not out today. It's cloudy...that pisses me off. I'm trying to enjoy my time off of work but mother nature is just not cooperating.

I cleaned house already. The grass needs cutting but I don't feel like getting all stinky and dirty.

What am I going to do? BORED and BROKE!!!

Maybe I should get in my car and drive 5 hours to the beach and come home when the sun goes down. The only problem with that idea is that I would fall asleep behind the wheel on the way home.

Suggestions are welcomed and donations accepted.

Hello-did I miss anything?

Well, I guess everyone thought I fell off the face of the earth. It feels like it sometimes. I've had a lot of personal issues to combat lately and I guess I just disconnected from everything and everyone. I want to reach out again to the land of blogville and catch up on what's been happening. I'm not sure how great these next few posts will be, I think I 've lost my touch (as if I ever had one!). I saw this poster today and wanted to share with you all. I think it sums up what I've been feeling like lately.

I hope no one else has had it this hard lately. I realize it's time to toughin up my "shell" and take life by the "yolk". I know life can be sunny-side up again if I just get to crackin! (beware the above paragraph may be filled with very unfunny attempts at puns relating to the above picture. should you feel you have been exposed to the unfunny puns, hang up immediately and call a friend who really does have a good sense of humor or simply log on to their blog for real humor.)

Happy Mother's Day

May her thoughtfulness not go unmentioned?
For she cares in so many ways
She works hard to seek perfection
In her home every day


She never takes time for herself
For she is to busy caring for those in need
Nurturing and comforting her children
And taking care of her responsibilities


She keeps a tidy house, cooking and cleaning
Tending to every day chores
She has many roles she plays
So she never has time to get bored....


She is a doctor when her children fall ill
Pacing back and forth with concern
Taking temperatures and serving pills....
All things she quickly learns...


She is a teacher in the evenings
Helping her children with their lessons
In between cooking dinner
And listening to their confessions....



A mother kisses away boo boo"s
And chases away fears
She is a shoulder to cry on
And in many hearts is held dear


A mother gives so much
And takes so little
Never asking for anything in return
She has a love that is unconditional
From Mothers ways.....let us learn....


Happy Mother’s Day to you all!!!!!!
