| I just want to share my good news with anyone who may read this. I have gotten a job that I think is made for me. I will be working in a call center helping customers that call in for any number of reasons. I am in training now but in about a month I will be on the phones and if I do well they will turn me loose on my own. If anyone happens to read this I would be most appreciative if you would put in a prayer for me to do well on my new adventure. Thanks ahead of time. |

For those of you that have children, have you ever been barraged with unwanted advice about raising children by some who have never had any? Have you ever been told that there are some who feel that you aren't raising your children right, as if the person who said this have beautiful, well-behaved children? I have chosen not to comment to these people even though it is getting pretty hard not to. I have learned that everyone is different. There has been times that I didn't agree with things that I have seen these meddlers do, but if I were to comment to them I know one who would tell me to butt out. I remember years ago, one of these women was having trouble with her kids and I told her she needed to spank them, she replied I can't spank them all the time. Yet, now she tells me that I don't spank my son enough. When I feel he has done something to be punished about I will do it.
I just had to unload because I feel sometimes I am going to explode. |

Has anyone ever asked for a sample of your urine other than at the doctor's office?
My daughter and one of her friends are trying to get a job that requires a drug screening. Even though I don't approve of some of the things she is doing, I gave it to her because I am hoping once she gets the job she will be able to move from where she is staying and start doing like she is supposed to do.
I haven't heard from her yet, but I am sure she will pass the screening.
I almost told her no when she asked me, but as her mother I want to help her do better in life. |

| I would love to know why today's youth seem so intent on harming themselves by doing things that they is wrong. I am mainly speaking about my daughter. Without going into too much detail she is doing stuff that could eventually kill her or have her locked up. I have talked to her about why she shouldn't be doing these things but I don't think she believes I know what I am talking about. By law she is an adult but to me she is still a child, my child. She is smart and I told her she should go back to college. If anyone reads this, PLEASE PRAY FOR HER. I know GOD is the only answer for her and with everyone praying he will change her mind and set her on the right path. |

Some may say I am worrying over nothing but I think I need help now. My son will soon turn 12 and he is already showing an interest in females and their form.
When I had the talk with my daughter I didn't have a problem, but with my son I really don't know everything I need to tell him so he will make good decisions. His biological father died over four years ago and I guess the talk is left up to me. I could ask one of my brothers to talk to him. I'm just not prepared for my baby to grow up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. |

| Here in the south, more bad was predicted. It was supposed to start around lunch time on Monday. It did start snowing around 3:30pm and snowed for about 30 to 45 minutes and stopped. Then it started sleeting and kept sleeting for about an hour or more. Then with the low temperatures the roads were a little hazardous to drive on. With the roads as they were school was canceled again. Luckily there is only a 2-hour delay tomorrow, then my son goes onto school. If it were up to him he wouldn't even go to school at all. |

| I have gotten to the point that I can't sleep late because during the week I get up early to get my son up to get ready for school. On other days when I should be able to sleep I am up. I guess my body is conditioned to be up early and continues on that schedule. I remember one day I slept until about 7:30am. That is the latest I have slept in awhile. Sometimes I get sleepy and take a nap. Being out of work has gotten me on a bad schedule. Hopefully when I find a job I will be able to get back to a healthier sleep schedule. |

| Hello to any who may read this. I find that even though we have entered a new year, I haven't lost this monkey on my back. To explain, there have been many contests that I have attempted to enter. As I sit trying to write a story or poem regardless of a prompt or not, I seem to not be able to complete what I have started. I am really trying to overcome this speedbump. Looking back, I am always second guessing myself. I will start and stop and then start again and before I know it the deadline for contest has appeared. Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can navigate around the stop signs to writing of my own making? |

| I just want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. This past year hasn't been the worst I have ever had, but I certainly hope this next year will be much better. I hope everyone writes everything they want to, and basically accomplish everything they aspire to do. |

| Where I am in NC, we don't usually get alot of snow, but it started snowing early yesterday morning and snowed until late last night. The main roads have been cleared, but the road I stay near is still kinda messy. So, I am staying indoors because I don't want to have to drive in the slush and ice. |

| I just want to send out a message to anyone who may read this: Hope your Christmas is Merry and I hope no one overeats. I spent all day yesterday cooking. I made three different kinds of candy, two pies and then I cooked supper for a house full of hungry people. Than I cooked two hams for everyone to enjoy today. I haven't so much in one day. I even got stuck with the dishes. Didn't think that was fair at all. |

| The weather man is calling for more snow this weekend. I for one don't really want to see more snow. What little bit we got a couple of weeks ago was enough for me. I guess it will depend on how Mother Nature is feeling Saturday. |

| The weather here in NC is so unpredictable. One day we have snow and sleet, the very next day even though it is still cool some people went without coats on when the day before they were almost covered from head to toe. Some people can't help but get sick from going covered one day and much less covering the next. The snow we received was nothing compared to other states and I for one hope we don't get much more. |

| I am sad to say thast I no longer have my new job. I went into work for 3 days. Everyday I would leave in severe pain. I even went and had a massage, thinking that would help but the pain still returned. I know that there was no way I could work in that kind of pain and still be productive. I do have my name in the pot for another job at a local newspaper being a Copy Editor. I should know something good or bad in a week or two. I really want this job because I feel that this is something that I have experience at and I love to read. Keep your fingers crossed for me. |

| I started my new job yesterday. I was so tired when I got off work I wanted to cry. I have been out of work for 8 months. The job I did yesterday wasn't hard but it sure made me wish I was still out of work. I am hoping today will be better. I'm not looking forward to going but I have to. |

| Did any of you brave the crowds on Friday to get a deal? I went to town later in the afternoon and I had difficulty finding a parking space. Too many people, the checkout lines were long, they were blocking the aisles and the traffic was terrible. I didn't have alot of money to spend so I am going back out today to see if I can find any deals not already snatched up yesterday. |

| I finally got a call about a job. Someone already working at this place told me that if you were called you already had the job. I have to take a drug test and I am sure I will pass it. I have to fill out some paperwork and then I can start to work. I am so excited. |

| I find it hard to believe that in about 46 days it will be Christmas. It seems like time has sped up for all things. Some stores have had Christmas decorations and related items out since October. It seems to me that stores are trying to push customers to buy before they even know what it is they want to purchase. I don't look forward to the crowds but I am getting excited about Christmas. |

A couple of weeks ago we had a family reunion on my dads side. Today we are having a family reunion on my moms side. It is good to see everyone since most of us are busy with our own life. I know that isn't an excuse to not visit, but some of the people I am going to see today I probably won't see again until the next reunion or at a less joyous occasion. Some of them I don't know well. Kinda sad because when the elders are gone we may not even see them again. Some of us are close then as I said some of them I don't know well.
I can say that I am closer to my moms side of the family but still I wish the whole family was closer. |

| My eleven year old son seems to always be thinking ahead by many years. He recently decided to tell me that even though it was many years before he would be leaving home he thought it would be a good idea for me to find me a man so when he did leave home I would not be alone. I told him I would think about, but the last date I went on was horrible. I know my son means well but he just doesn't understand finding a good partneer isn't like going to the grocery store and picking one off the shelf. |
