It's been awhile

My life has been crazy! In the last month I've been to Dallas, Toledo, and St. Louis. And only one of those trips was for pleasure. Unfortunately, the pleasure trip sucked. I've never been more miserable in my life. This past weekend we took my daughter and two of her friends to St. Louis to go to 6 Flags, (or seis banderas as my daughter calls it). It was a 100 degrees and humid as hell. It was packed and I had a migraine before I left. Even the girls were asking to leave. The only good part was the $200.00 a night suite. It sucks to spend that kind of money and not have any fun.

I got a new Jeep, and I love it. It was about time. Mine had 193,000 miles on it. Now we're going to fix it up for our daughter to drive next year. Can't believe she'll be 16 next summer. I feel old.

My 18 year old son is in jail again. They have revoked his probation. Now he may go to prison. I don't know if I can deal with that. He's just a kid. Granted, he's screwed up, and I do believe he needs to pay for it, not to mention he needs a good scare, but he's just a kid. I just don't know what to do. We'll know more on August 21st. Until then, all I can do is pray, which is difficult for me since I'm not a religious person.

I'm so sick of all the drama, at work and at home. I just don't know how much more I can take.

The people you meet online!

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am addicted to my computer. I take it everywhere with me. (Well, almost). I love to play games on Pogo. (http://www.pogo.com) Well, now I have joined a bowling league and bowl against a group of people on Pogo. They are a very interesting group. The league is called the Blue Collar Bums. Not sure if I really fit in with that name, but what the hell. (http://www.myleague.com/bums/)

First we have LadyWBlues and DZD338. Lady is great. She is so funny, and she gives all the guys hell. But, deep down I think she is really a softy. And how she puts up with DZD is beyond me. The man is incorrigible. Sometimes I'm not sure if it's all an act, or he is really that way all the time. Lady is a TD and runs some of the tournaments. Along with her there is Cleanlicker4 and Sexxxiwolf. Clean is about as redneck as they come, but you can't help but love him. Sexxxi is sweet and funny. There is also Hunny, Fannie, and many others that are just as nice as they can be. Now there are a few jerks in the league. One in particular really gets under my skin, but hey, what's a person to do? There are also the whiners. Sometimes you just have to mute them, but all in all it's a great group. (psst....I'm writing all this because I know that Lady will read it...LOL)

So, I get to fly home in the morning. Can't wait to get home. Especially since Mike won't quit calling me. I bet I've talked to him at least 50 times since I got here. Geesh! I don't know if he really loves me that much, or if he thinks that I won't come home. Trust me...I'm going home to my hubby. I love him. And I miss my daughter.

Well, better get back to bowling before they wonder what happened to me.

Back in Dallas Again!

I'm in Dallas right now. I was sent her for Cloverleaf training. The actual Cloverleaf programming is fun, but the class I'm in sucks. The instructor is an idiot. It's his first class by himself. All he does is read the slides, not to mention he talks to fast, mumbles and speaks in a monotone voice. The books are not complete, and don't really give you much information. What I've learned, I've learned from doing the labs. Tomorrow I take my certification exam. I'm sure I'll pass, but I think this whole trip was a waste of my time.

I used to live in Dallas. I guess I could have looked up a few old friends, but all I have here are old boyfriends and drinking buddies. It's been 18 years since I was here. I just don't think I'd have the same things in common with any of them anymore.

Well, off to study.

I've been lazy..so sue me!

I realized today that it has been over a month since I posted anything. So..here goes.

My 18 year old son has committed yet another felony. At least that's what I hear. I wouldn't know since I haven't seen or talked to him since Easter. But, the detective said that him and two other boys broke into a house and cleaned it out. They didn't just take the high dollar stuff, but they even took the furniture. How does anyone have the balls to do something like that? I never thought I would be visiting one of my kids in prison, but that seems to be the road that I am on. It makes me cry to think about it.

Work has been miserable too. I've almost walked out a couple of times, but I wouldn't give the analyst supreme the satisfaction. She actually told me that I was "weaseling my way up". It took everything I had not to rip her frickin' head off! Who the hell does she think she is? Someone needs to pull the stick out of her ass and beat her with it. And one more comment like that and I'm going to be the one to do it. Oh, and I'm starting to wonder if she's having an affair with one of the guys in the department. It sure as hell looks like it. At the very least, their behavior is inappropriate. Maybe she'll get fired for inappropriate behavior, or sexual harrassment.

Well, I think that's all for now. June sucked for me. How about you?
