I am so tired of being wracked with pain. The last couple of months have been awful. Horrible.
Right now I’m gettting a little break from it. Probably just a short recess, a couple hours of freedom from the demon that rides on my shoulders. I carry so many. They are getting to heavy.
I’m so refreshed and able to move without much pain, I don’t know what to do first. I know to go slowly, though, no matter what my body wants to do. Overdoing will be much worse than letting things go undone. Pain Demon punishes me terrible for over doing.
He’s still there though. He’s looking over my shoulder. Pain will pinch my knees or another vulnerable place every few minutes. He thinks he has to remind me that no little white pills will defeat him permenently. He’s only giving me this small respite because he wants to. He’ll be back very soon full force and I’ll be in a ball in my bead, wondering how much longer I can keep this up. The Pain Demon likes to play these kinds of mind games with me.

I have followed the disappearance of this darling little girl since the beginning, and I knew in my heart that she was no longer alive. I don’t understand how anyone could hurt a child. I don’t understand how a mother could hurt a child. I’ve seen so many irresponsible parents in my years in childcare, and it never hurts any less when you can’t help the poor kids. The warning signs had to be there. Was no one paying attention? How can Casey Anthony expect anyone to believe she left her dauther with a sitter and finally reporter her missing a month later? At least Kaylee can finally be put to rest.

I so want one of these. We just got a hdtv and I was looking at kits to hang it on the wall, when I saw these pop up tv stands. How cool is it? The tv hides away until you want to watch it. We have a gas fireplace, or I’d so order the fireplace one. I love the one that looks like a sofa table/cabinet. I need one of these! Dear Santa……..I’ve been good….I’ve been o.k……..Awe heck…….just forget my record this year, Santa.

I need to start thinking about what to send with her. The costume is furnished as part of the fees we paid. Her team will be performing at halftime! I need to buy her some toiletries to take and get in storage and dig out our Samsonite luggage. She’ll be riding with a friend instead of the bus from the school, so there’s less a chance of damage or loss of stuff that way. Plus she’ll be more comfortable. Buses make my back hurt. I can’t imagine riding in one for six hours. Lots to think about, do and plan for.

Even though my kids are older, 11 and 16 now, I have cousins who are just now starting to have families. I get to keep up with the latest and best baby gear through them. I like to share when I find something that makes life easier for other busy moms. One of my cousin’s wives’ found the best strollers, the Bob stroller. They move so smoothly. The wheels are awesome. I can remember fighting with strollers when my kids were little. I wish I’d known about them when I had a little one in the stroller.

My kids are both involved in lots of activities, sometimes it seems like too many. Diva dances and is a cheerleader. Little man plays basketball and football.
He’s asked about learning to play golf, but golf equipment is so expensive, and I know the course fees are, too. We have one upscale housing addition that has a golf course, and the kids that live there are the ones who play on the golf team at our high school. I don’t see how other families could afford it. I guess the wealthy in our community have an exclusive hold on high school golf here.
Little man has been a couple times to the driving range with his grandpa, but that’s about as close as he’ll get unless I hit the lottery and can buy a quarter million dollar house. I guess we’ll stick to the poor people sports.

That’s the title of this article, and I have to agree with her. Single motherhood isn’t as horrible as the experts and the statistics make it out to be. I’m one that isn’t better off financially, but at least if there’s a problem with someone overspending, it’s me and no one else is to blame. The ex used to withdraw three and four hundred dollars at a time and drop the receipts on my desk for a couple months all at once. Suddenly the mortgage payment that I knew I could pay was bouncing and he was yelling at me about overspending.
My kids are happier most of the time. There’s no tension in the house. No rush to make everything perfect before he came home, if he came home. No waiting and waiting with the kids for him, and putting them to bed while trying to explain why he wasn’t home again.
No fights and yelling. I’m not upset all the time. The kids are more relaxed because I am.
It’s really not all that bad, this single mom gig.

My doughier came in the door last night from visiting with her dad for a couple of hours and says, “Mom, guess what dad’s ringtone is? It’s Anymore.”
Immediately I tell her, “Don’t even go there.”
For those who aren’t country music fans, the song “Anymore” is by Travis Tritt and talks about how he is still in love with someone he broke up with and that’s he’s tired of hiding his feelings for her. Yeah.
They never give up. I would have thought after four years they would get the picture. If I talk to him at one of their activities when we get home they are questioning me about why I was talking to him. I don’t know how to get them to see that it’s not going to happen.

I still owe my son one birthday presen.(Bad Mom. Bad, bad Mom) We’ve upgraded from Gamecube to Wii, but we haven’t upgraded our Playstation 2 to a Playstation 3 yet. I’ve thought about doing that, and combining his last present with Diva’s last present, but I’m not sure it’s worth it. They really didn’t play the Playstation 2 much, are really are very enamoured of the Wii. If you have any input, I’d love to hear it is the P3 worth it? Do your kids use it? What are some games they love?
