how to beat stress

ok, so i'm stressed. i'm stressed about everything. at work, i just say, whatever. no matter what the problem, i'm like, ok, i'll do it. it's no big deal. i can do it, i'm wonder woman. at home, things are very different, i'm always on. does mom need this, does mom need that. did i go to the grocery store? did i do the laundry? do her bandages need to be changed? when was the last time she took a shower? does she have her night-time medicine? did she take her kineret? all these … [Read more...]

kissing madonna

so last night i had the, oh i don't know, should i actually say it, pleasure of watching madonna french brittney and christina on the mtv video music awards. (go fish references wizbang, who has pictures of the whole thing) ok, i admit it... i was shocked. mom was like, what are they doing? i had to call stephen. he wasn't impressed. but, i'm thinking that it was done for the pure shock value. and it did shock. i think the look on justin timberlake's face was more of, "could you get the … [Read more...]

the friday five

1. Are you going to school this year? i honestly thought about it, but decided not to. with the summer as weird as it was, and then all that's going on at home it's a good thing i didn't. daisy and mom were both sick on the first day of school. 2. If yes, where are you going (high school, college, etc.)? If no, when did you graduate? i graduated from san jose state university in may 1997. i hold a bs in business, management information systems. 3. What are/were your favorite school … [Read more...]

gno

missey andrea, "the bump" and i went out for normal tuesday night activities. tonight brought us to the tied house. we sat and talked about the baby, the rocker, mom, mar and of course daisy. at one point we both teared up. missey has been working two jobs for almost two years now. she is in second interviews with a financial services company. i hope she gets the job. she has been working so hard, she needs to have something that has great benefits, and a 9 to 5 work day... kinda like … [Read more...]

my baby love

so, my beautiful baby is feeling a bit better. last night, instead of barfing, we got up every two hours to have a drink of water. my bed is all wet. dogs make such a mess when they drink. she started out drinking a tablespoon every 15 minutes... now she can have as much as she wants, but she is still feeling icky. she didn't even come down to say good-bye to me this morning. on our walk, she walked slowly, almost thinking it was too much. then she would perk up, and think, oh i'm … [Read more...]

doggie barf

my little baby girl starting barfing last night... around 5 pm... she then barfed every two hours until 4 am. at 4, she couldn't handle the pressure, and started barfing every 1/2 hour. it's so upsetting when your puppy is sick. you feel so out of control. this little creature who depends on you for everything, looks up at you with these painful eyes saying "why me?" i tried to be a good mommy, i petted her while she was barfing. i told her how good she was, and how much i loved … [Read more...]

falling down

today, like every other day this week has been like living in a haze. i've been trying, very unsuccessfully to work. this afternoon, i was doing these accreditation reports, making sure that i have everything we need. we have promised that this information will be available by august 29th. i'm about 3/4 done. but this week, i've been unable to focus on anything. so, this afternoon, i tried, yet again, to figure out what i'm missing. i went over to sheri's cube to discuss a report. i sat … [Read more...]

When was the last time you laughed? a real laugh? must have been yesterday. a giggle? this morning, talking about the fact that everyone can hear what my boss is talking about in her office, but she can't hear you calling back the answer to her... 2. Who was the last person you had an argument with? my sister. it's going on right now. see last blog entry. 3. Who was the last person you emailed? the rocker 4. When was the last time you bathed? this morning, but i didn't wash my … [Read more...]

siblings

when i get mad at my sister, i stop talking to her. why? because i really feel no need to tell her what she did. she doesn't hear what i have to say, nor does she do anything to change things. it never matters to her if anyone else is happy. you see, it is all about mar. it is always all about mar. it has been all about mar since she came screaming out of my mothers womb 34 years ago. she hasn't stopped screaming since. she is always quick to point out when she feels that she is being … [Read more...]
