My Thoughts, My Opinions and My Life
|
| |
| How many have the TV on while they are on the computer? I will admit that sometimes I have gotten ideas for my projects while looking at TV. I hope you all have a Great Day and keep on writing. |
| |
| For those of you with children, I'm sure you know how hard it is to get them up and ready for school. My son doesn't like school, never has. Some days are better than others. His grades aren't all that good so I am afraid he will fail again. I have talked to him but nothing seems to be working. |
| |
| I know my blog isn't the only one that blows. Which brings me to my next question, what is your favorite tissue when you just have to rid yourself by blowing? This is just a test to see if anyone actually reads these blogs. GPs to be sent with each comment. Make me laugh amount up to you! |
| |
| I haven't been sleeping well. I first thought it was the pollen now I'm not sure. I have gotten to the point where if I get still I fall asleep. Last night I was sitting on the side of my bed and my son had come in to talk to me. We were talking and all of a sudden I fell face first onto the floor of my room. I fell asleep that fast. I wasn't hurt and then I started laughing. I guess I am going to have to go to sleep specialist. |

| I am really glad that I am the only one who has been affected by all this pollen. I'm sure with the weather out west pollen isn't much of a problem either. Here in the South, pollen is putting me down. |
| |
| Has anyone been suffering from the effects of pollen? Just about everyday I wake up my face is swollen and my nose is stuffy. It usually takes a few hours for the swelling to go away. Rinsing off the vehicles doesn't do any good. Everyday the pollen comes right back. This year has been the worse so far. If anyone has any good remedies please let me know. Thanks ahead of time. |

I don't know if anyone else is aware but a few us up here get together and write silly sometimes can be offending to some and is posted as such. Well, over a year or more ago I wrote something that I just recently received reviews for. One told me I could have a lawsuit on my hands and the other one told me even though my rhyming was good they didn't understand my post and the person mentioned had had enough and was trying to get her life back on track. Well, after both reviews I decided to delete the item in question because I do not want to get in trouble with anyone. I did not know if an item is deleted the reviews go with it. Well, after thinking about it I emailed the second reviewer trying to explain what SPAM was and what the few of us did and why.
They emailed me back upset because of the time they spent reviewing me and their hard work was gone. This person accused me of being upset because the review wasn't gushing with praise and accused me of that being the reason I deleted the item and review. I swear on the bible that is not true. How can I fix this?
I can't go back and try to e-mail this person again because they said they were going to block/ignore me. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? |

| My son and I have been discussing having a garden. Having just moved from a larger space to somewhere much smaller, our plans are going to be modified. We are going to plant tomatoes in a pot instead of the ground because of space. I have also read that some people have planted tomatoes together with other veggie in the same pot. This will be new for me but with the price of food this seems almost necessary. I am looking forwards to my small garden and hopefully I will be able to brag on my veggies I grow. |

A friend of mine had a hand in setting me up with this guy she works with. We decided to meet at his job and I went to meet him. This man has no license, never had any and he is 33 years old. Well, we went to a little restaurant down the road because my son who I did take with me was hungry. During the time we waited for their food, never once did he speak to me unless I spoke to him first. After the meal, he had no suggestions on what to do next. At least twice, I mentioned that I didn't have alot of gas in my truck and most normal people would have offered me some money for gas(he didn't). So I went and parked in front of the grocery store and said we can sit here and watch the cars go by. He said nothing. I was getting a headache so I asked him if he could call someone to pick him up and we could do this date thing another time. Well, he said he could call someone and got out of the truck and didn't even say goodnight.
I knew of this guy before this night but I didn't really know alot about him. I should have stayed home for all the good it did me. For one thing he is married but he told me his wife told him she didn't love him anymore and she went and found her another man. Secondly, they still share the same house but he says she sleeps on the couch and he sleeps in the bed.
My friend said I should not have taken my son on the date but if I had not taken him conversation would have been real poor with this guy not talking. I think this guy thought he was going to get lucky because in our second conversation on the phone he asked me did I want to take this thing between him and me slow?
Needless to say, no more dates between me and him. |

| If you have read my previous post, you will see that I have been having some problems at work. Tonight one of the parents of a baby that I have never taken care of told the nurse that she could see that I was hard worker. The mom said that I was always moving around doing something. I immediately told her thank you. I didn't realize until then just how much a simple thank you helps. Her comment has made all my hard work worth it. Now if only those who are trying to cause me trouble would move onto someone else. |

I have been in this particular job for over 12 years.
I will admit that I had become a little bit lazy about my work. The first time it was brought to my attention, I immediately promised myself I would do better. Even though I feel I have done better, I am still getting complaints. I have asked what I can do. To me there is no pleasing these people I work with. The nurse can shirk her responsibilities and that never seems to be a problem but I can do just a bit less than a nurse and I am read the riot act. Is it fair that a nurse can do something and if I come along and seem to do something that seems even close to her behavior I have committed the ultimate crime? NO, it isn't fair. Here at my job they(meaning the head honchos) are bringing in a consultant team to find ways to cut cost. I guess I am one of those ways.
Regardless of how others see it, I have tried my best to go over and beyond what is expected of me. I really feel that they want me to quit, they are out to get me.Even others that I work with have commented the same thing. If anyone has any well-meaning advice, I would be glad to hear it. Thanks! |

| I'm sure that at some point just about all of us have iamgined strangers coming into our homes. My son and I have moved. Maybe we haven't gotten used to our new place, but sometimes when we arrive home things look out of place. Yesterday when I left to go to work, my son gave me his yo-yo to place over the door. His reasoning was if someone comes in the yo-yo will fall on the floor and then we will know someone has been there. Even to myself it sounds silly. Hopefully we will get used to our new home and then we can relax and enjoy it. |

Just recently, it seemed there was always something being said about my son being a bully. The principal said no one had come to her complaining so I brushed it off as someone trying to cause trouble. Well, one afternoon my son answered the phone and the man on the other end threatened to shoot my son because he said my son was being a bully to his child. I contacted the police but I was told the telephone company could not trace the call because I hadn't pressed *57 after the call ended. Like I knew to do that. I am moving to a new district hoping that all this bully talk goes away.
I still think the call could be traced, you see it all the time on all these cop shows. I am trying to protect my child from the spineless wimp who made the anonymous call. |

I work in a hospital and to me, in my department it just seems that they baby the nurses. The nurses don't have to do anything except take caare of the babies and chart, unless they want. Usually they do extra stuff to get points for those who are trying to climb the clinical ladder. I'm not saying that some of them don't work hard but it is being said all the time that "We Are A Team" and that we are all a great big family. BS, for the most part. I can be running all over to get all done that I need to and the nurses can just be sitting there reading, and doing non-job related activities.
I can understand that the hospital would get rid of us helpers before the nurses, but most of the nurses, not all of them barely even offer to help when I am busy.
I can almost justify why I think the nurses don't offer to help. I think that our management has never suggested to the nurses that it would be nice to help everyone out. They treat the nurses as if they are the most important people in the hospital and we all know the most important oerson in the hospital is the p |

| After 8 days, the doctor finally sends me home. Not one doctor could tell me why they kept me for so long. I am finally going back to work. I really need to earn some money to help pay what I know will be a huge bill. I have to take Prednisone until I go back to the doctor. This medicine makes you super hungry and most people gain weight, like I need to gain more. I am hoping my body will get better so I will not have to go back. |

| Towards the first of the year I was out of work with a fractured hip. Now I have been in the hospital since last Tuesday. The doctors don't really know what is wrong with me but they won't let me go home. One doctor claims if I go home I will need oxygen to breathe. I don't really understand alot of what they are doing. Knowing how hospital food is, I am so bored I actually look forwards to my food arriving. If anyone reads this, pray that I will be well soon and can go back to work. |

| I go to the Dr. this Tuesday morning and they tell me I have bi-lateral pneumonia. I go to hospital to get IV antibiotics andf I have been here since then. The doctors know something just isn't right they just don't know what it is. I am hoping to be home by Sat. These beds are not made for sleeping or even trying to rest in. |

| The guys responsible for spray painting my home have been caught and arrested. I am now just waiting for the court date. I want to stand before them and let them know exactly how I feel. |
| |
Last Thursday night while I was at work, someone spray painted my home with really ugly pictures and quite a bit of offensive language. These same people went thru a trailer park, painted a new home, mailboxes and street signs. They were even stupid enough to spray paint a new BMW red and blue. By Sat. morning the vandals had been caught and oddly enough I know one of them and the other one my son and daughter know.
What were they thinking? Not that they would get caught so quickly, I bet. I was mad when I came home Friday morning and I am still mad. Stupid, senseless and I ask What were they trying to prove by destroying other people's property? I am hoping I can be at their trial, if they have one. |

Here is my story...
I have 2 cousins who each have a daughter who is graduating next week. Both cousins have sent a graduation invitation to my mother with an attachment of and family(I guess they meant this to include me and my brothers and sister). My problem is I do not live with my mother. I have lived on my own for several years, they both know this. I feel like even if they didn't send me an invitation in the mail they could have dropped one off to my home. I am upset because they didn't and therefore I don't intend to give a gift. To me it is the principle of the matter. One of my cousins probably stays 10 minutes from where I stay and the other one stays probably 20 minutes away. If anyone reads this please answer and tell me what you think. |

Oh well, it was wonderful and definitely worth it. 
Glad you had a nice holiday, Kat!
