So I didn't blog yesterday, but not much happened. Same old story, I had to get up early, I was tired. I went to Galveston to get my birth control shot...it wasn't as expensive as I thought, I guess they give discounts to people without insurance. Hmmm...went to my grandparents and they took me to lunch at El Patio. THen I rushed home for fear that I would fall asleep on the road. I was shaking uncontrollably, die to lack of sleep and too much caffeine! I thought I would be sick at any moment! Grrrr. I finally got Logan to take a nap with me, and felt much better after I woke up! Then I went over to Nikki and Travis' and had a glass of wine. Some friends of ours and theirs are visiting for Travis' birthday, so it was nice to see them.
Not much going on today...I have to work (job#1) then I have to go pre-slip (job#2) I need to start cleaning the house at some point, and we are supposed to be going to a friends boat party tonight, although we dont have a babysitter. Thats about as interesing as it gets...maybe something worth while will come along later...I'll let you know!

special apologies and problems
First, wanted to send a special apology to a very good friend. I mentioned that a good friend of mine sent me an email that was an actual blog that she reads about people that complain and this national movement to help people to stop complaining. Maybe because of the way I wrote it (I tend to be a little rough around the edges) it may have come across as though I were offended by the email. So just wanted to say...I took absolutely no offense to the email, and I am so sorry that it came across that way. To any of you readers I just want you to know, I support the movement in theory, I just wont be taking part of it, not because I dont think that it is a great idea, I truly believe that you can be a happier person if you took out the complaints in your day to day life, I just dont have the energy to make an effort to not complain. I bitch and moan, its who I am. Would I be better off if I didn't? ABSOLUTELY. I just dont want to stop. So again, apologies to my friend for not wording things better.
So, today's paper has a gigantic section for ads most likely due to the upcoming holiday. It was hard to roll, I didn't leave the warehouse until 3:35...GRRRR! I noticed while I was rolling that my left shoulder was a little sore, then when I went to throw my first paper my shoulder snapped and it was horrible...then I went to throw the second paper and as soon as I lifted my arm the was excrutiating pain all in my shoulder. My thought process went...OUCH, crap, what do I do, Shit, I have 237 more papers to throw. I can do this, I can do this, I can do this.....which was quickly followed by tears and I cant do this, I cant do this, I cant do this. I did make it through my route, but it killed me and I had to go a little slower than ususal. I got home at 5:45 (random useless information - the sun is not up at 5:47 in the morning, but you would be surprised at the amount of vehicles on the road at 5:47 in the morning.) Logan didn't wake up when I walked through the door, which was awesome. Logan did wake up at 9:15 this morning...not awesome. I begged for him to go back to sleep, no go!
One thing that has really helped is that JR usually comes home for lunch and I sleep while he is home to watch Logan, unfortunately he hasn't been home for the last two days or on Monday. This is very irritating to me. So here is the thing. Several weeks ago I won tickets to a Kenny Chesney concert and to a Texans preseason football game....I did go to the concert because Keith Urban was also there, but I decided to give the tickets to JR because it just isn't realistic for me to go to the game (which is tonight) due to lack of sleep and having to go to work. Anyway, he called one of his friends to go with him and it turns out that his friend had tickets to see the Astros play this afternoon, so they decided to go to the Astros game during the day and the Texans tonight. He made these plans either yesterday or the day before, I honestly cant remember, but the thing is he is taking half a day off from work in order to do this....HELLO we have no money, okay the tickets were free, but we cant afford to be taking days off from work! Not to mention that I am seriously sleepy, so I dont understand why he couldn't come home to help me out with Logan instead of going to the Astros game....I mean seriously does he need to go to two games today? Why cant he help me, although I will say that he asked his mom to babysit tonight so that I can get some sleep. Anyway I guess it isn't that big of a deal except for the fact that I am in pain, I have a horrible headache, my shoulder is killing me, my wrist, fingers, and thumb are killing me and I am soooooo Tired. Oh well, at least he wont be asking to go do something anytime soon...well he better not!!!
Have a good day everyone...tomorrow is Friday, I know that is exciting for most of you, but not me, it means I am another day closer to the dreaded Sunday paper.....GRRRRRRRRR!!!

More Money, More Problems...MY ASS!
You know the saying, "More more, more problems" well I am pretty sure that is just bull shit! If I had more money, I wouldn't have half the problems I do now. JR's bank account is at 0.00 and still has a week before payday...I just used the last 5.00 in my bank account to get milk for Logan, and yes a chocolate bar as well....I need something to help me cope! Luckily, I got my paycheck today in the mail...remember that I get paid once a week for job #1...which is the only thing that has gotten JR and through many situations....so my paychecks aren't exactly huge....anyway got check today (230.00) I have a doctors appt. on Friday at 11:00 which will cost 108.35, the cable bill was due on the 21st (183.00), I need gas (51.00/per tank), gas bill (15.22), and we need money to live on for the next week (which is how long it will take to get JR's check and my next check!...Oh yeah, and I almost forgot that I have my 51.00 check from job#2 for my first 3 days of training!..Okay so even with the 51.00, my total amount I HAVE is 281.00 the total amount that I owe is roughly (I rounded) 360.00....Obviously, In my situation, more money would lead to less problems!!! So what to do....I will have to wait to pay the gas and the cable, my 51$ check will fill up my tank, and then the 230...I will use 108.35 for my shot and the rest we will have to use to get us through the week.....I sure hope thats enough, I guess it will have to be...OH SHIT! I also need diapers, okay, I can get a small package to get us through the week and then get a big box next week after payday.
Now the big question, once I get my first check from job#2 do I use it to get us out of our financial jam???? The whole reason I took this stupid job was to save for the wedding...I am supposed to be saving all the money from those paychecks for the wedding, not so that we can have more money to spend. If I use it to get out of the situation we are in, it will never be replaced. Solution: reevaluate on the 10th (payday) see what needs to be done and only use what needs to be used and save the rest...sounds reasonable, right!
I recently recieved an e-mail from a good friend of mine that was actually a blog written by one of her friends...the question was, "Are you a complainer?" the answer is ABSOLUTELY! I know that I wish that I didn't complain so much, but the truth is everyone has problems, and there are people out there who truly believe everything will work out...dont dwell....think good thoughts and good things will happen! Well I think that is all bull shit. I am an optimist, I do believe that things will get better, I know that we will work through this, I know that in a couple of years we will be laughing at many of the situations we are in today...hell we laugh about things from a couple of years ago now! I truly believe that life is a bumpy road, that some people have more bumps than others. But honestly trying to go through life without complaining??? What kind of life would that be...Some may believe it would lead to a much happier life...I dont think so (again just my opinion) What the hell would we all blog about, an update of our life....well if that was the case then here would be today's blog:
Woke up at around noon today (thank you Logan)
Worked on the computer and caught up on some soap operas
Played with Logan...Logan was super sweet and gave me lots of kisses, and asked for hugs
(obviously I cant tell you about any of the things that he did that drove me nuts!)
I could tell you about how he got in trouble and had 1 time out for climbing on the dining room table. (It's a fact, not a complaint)
I ate hot pockets for lunch
Spent the next hour and a half with Logan, we tried to go outside, but the mosquitos were so bad we had to come inside (again, that is a fact not a complaint)
Logan and I took a nap...him from 4:00 - 5:45....mine from 4:30 - 8:15
Went to the store for milk
Blogged
(the rest of the night/morning) I will continue to watch TV....get some work done, put Logan to bed at 12:30am leave for work at 1:00am get home around 5:00 or later, depending on the paper and how much time it takes for the truck to get there, then how much time it take to roll, and then how much time it takes to deliver. Come home go to sleep, and pray I get to sleep until noon again! Woo Hoo
Now that would make for something interesting...NO
Blogging is nothing for me if not my own personal therapy session, without having to pay the $175 per session (and that was with insurance and four years ago, so who knows how much it costs these day). If any of you have noticed, I have started blogging a lot more lately, and I have found that the level of my anger and the rollercoaster of emotions has calmed and somewhat leveled out...so I think my therapy is working....and just to let you know I will continue to complain, but to all of you out there who want to buy the bracelet and try not to complain for 21 days straight...MORE POWER TO YOU! I think it is an awesome idea, I really do...Its just not for me...plus, why do you need to BUY a wristband to remind yourself not to complain....How about you just take an everyday rubberband and use it....The idea is that you wear it on your wrist and every time you complain you switch the rubberband to the other wrist and you are supposed to go 21 days without a complaint.

Damn Bugs
Once again I had so many interesting things to blog about last night (this morning) and now that I have slept, I dont remember any of them. Maybe it will come to me later once the fog in my head clears up. I have been up for several hours and yet I dont feel as though I am completely awake yet!
I live in a town on the Gulf of Mexico, In Texas, and due to the recent rains, all the mosquitos have now hatched and are swarming. They are seriously everywhere. My poor little boy is covered in bites, he looks like he has the chicken pox, but they are just bug bites. We bought a bottle of OFF on Sunday...its Wednesday and we are going to need a new bottle by this weekend! The bugs are so bad that even after smothering ourselves in OFF they are still biting....I wish they made some Extra Strength Off!
I have a doctor's appt. on Friday...Bring on Depo, of course I will be paying full price for the shot due to the fact that my insurance is gone:( Waaaaa. I have come to the conclusion that the reason it is so effective is because it takes away all sex drive! TMI I know....anyone else have this problem??
Logan has a plastic fork in his hand, he is trying to feed dexter with the fork! Hahahaha!
Funny Things Logan has done today:
Trying to feed Dexter with a plastic fork
Repeatedly said Mama, no matter how many times I asked what he wanted
Got mad at my heels because they obviously weren't doing what they were supposed to
Randomly ran over to me to give me a kiss
Jumped on the couch and pounded his chest making ape noises
I am sure that there will be so much more in the next hour but "that'll do pig, that'll do" (quote from the movie Babe)

Snickollet
Okay, please excuse this blog, it is basically designed for one person. I have been reading this women's blog for almost a week now, and it has basically consumed my life. I know that sounds a little crazy, and it is a little crazy, but I am one of those people who doesn't like to start a TV series halfway through, because I feel like I missed out on vital information. Well this obviously carried over to blogs. So I started it from her very first post and have read all about her life for the past three years. We have a lot in common, granted the universe has thrown her so many more obstacles than it has me. And after reading her story, it certainly puts a new view on the phrase that life isn't fair. However, she is also very blessed in that she has two beautiful kids, and from what I can tell she has lots of friends and very good family to help her when she needs it.
Here are a few things we have in common:
We are both mothers
We both love to read
She has my dream job (I've always wanted to be an editor)
She lives in my favorite town in the US (Boston)
She often does things and then feels especially guilty (mostly pertaining to her kids)
She is a jeans and T-shirt/sweater, no make-up wearing kind of girl
She doesn't really like dogs, but has said the only kind she likes are daschunds....me too, and I have one, although I too hate to be licked
She loves American Idol
She started watching so you think you can dance
THere are honestly so many more things, but I will have to go back to remember some of them, we also have a lot of things that are very different, but all I know is I thouroughly enjoy reading her blog and hope that she will begin to read mine as well!

Work?
I know I have been complaining about work lately, and being sleepy and all, but I am getting very frustrated with work (Job#1). I work for the same educational foundation as my mom and she just recently took some time off so that she could take my little sister to Hunstville and get her all settled in her new apartment. Well today is Tuesday and I still dont have any work to do because she is behind and hasn't sent me the work I need to do. See my work is in direct correlation with her work. She is in charge of certain things per chapter and I am in charge of certain things per chapter...the thing that sucks is that I can not complete my tasks until hers are finished. See the problem?
Job #2 has been going much better, I am still learning how to stay awake during the day, but I have learned some tricks:
1. Never go on the route without some sort of snack in the car....for some reason my blood sugar levels will drop dramatically at the drop of a hat, which makes me feel like I will vomit at any moment.
2. Always bring something to drink...water, green tea, red bull, 5 hour energy...although you shouldn't drink the energy drinks halfway through the route...those are strictly to be used as you are arriving at the warehouse!
3. Because there are no stores open or even available at my route....bringing a bit of toilet paper isn't a bad idea!
4. An Ipod does wonders while at the warehouse! Rolling the papers in a non-air conditioned warehouse, full of mosquitos, and no one to talk to can be extremely boring, thus slowing you down and making you even more sleepy!
5. Bring OFF! Mosquitos are horrible, and I cant afford to get West Nile....I am paranoid about West Nile because my mom's best friend got it two years ago and her immune system is still lacking!
Unrelated...I am searching for health insurance right now, I am ashamed to say that I have gone without for 2 months now... I have never gone without health insurance before, because my parents have always made sure that I have had it. I have no idea what I am doing, these people are trying to expain this to me and I dont know what they are talking about...deductibles, co-pays, contracted rates....This is the one time in my life that I would like for them to speak to me like I am a child....go very slow, and explain in detail! Not to mention that I talked to two companies that do the underwriting for insurance companies...they both reccommended the same insurance company to me...except on person told me that I could not continue to be covered for my birth control, but that for an extra 12.56 per month I can get maternity coverage...for Logan and I it will be about 200.00 per month. THe other person tells me it will be 162.00 per month, it will still cover my birth control and I can add Maternity but he reccomends waiting until I actually need it because it will be an extra 200.00 per month. Now, if this is the same insurance company, why am I being told two different things??? Both recommend that I do the contracted rate plan, which means that I will not have a co-pay...when I go to the doctor, I give my insurance card and they bill the insurance company...then a couple of weeks later, the insurance company bills me what they pay which according to the people on the phone shouldn't be more than 50$. Which isn't bad since I may only go to the doctor twice a year...but what about Logan, and his immunizations? I go to the doctor every three months for my shot...what if it really doesn't cover my shot? HOw can I be sure until I am there at the doctors office ready to get it and the receptionist says, "oh, you insurance doesn't cover this" then what the hell do I do? This is very frustrating!

Double jointed!
I remember something that I was going to blog about....just a random thought while I was driving home this morning. I was thinking about arthritis, and how bad it is in my hips and knees, and how much worse it will get as time goes by, seeing as how I am only 25! I am convinced that I must have arthritis in hands as well, due to all the pain and stiffness. Then it hit me, I wonder is being double-jointed has anything to do with my arthritis, I am double jointed in my fingers and hips, although I dont think I am double-jointed in my knees, although they can turn in odd ways and they pop often! Anyway, one may have nothing to do with the other, it was just a random thought!
See it is interesting, raises some questions...okay so maybe its only interesting to me! But at 5:00 in the morning when you have been at work since 1:00 and up since way before that, there are many things that seem very interesting.
Did you know that it is starting to get dark earlier and the sun is coming up earlier in the morning. On Sunday, The sun started to come up at 6:12 and last Sunday the sun didn't start to come up 6:21. Interesting? I think so...cant wait until next Sunday! hehehehee
Do you think that its odd that my earlier post was about finding sanity?

Finding Sanity?
Last night was supposed to be the "easy" paper! It is only 2 sections, doesnt take very long to roll, and is very light weight! Everything was going fine until I put the papers in my car to start out on my route....dum dum dum! First, let me just say this, the sunday paper I stack to the ceiling in my front seat and throughout my entire backseat, again to the roof of my car, then I open my trunk and fill up about3/4 of the space! ON Monday's paper, they can all fit in my front seat! Are you getting an idea of how big the Sunday paper is?? Are you getting an idea of how small the Monday paper is? Okay so, I head out on the route, and the first turn I make out of the warehouse the papers start sliding, they are falling in my lap, sliding into the floorboard at my feet....this is not good. THen I finally start throwing the paper, and I guess I was so preoccupied trying to get the paper to stop sliding that I skipped a page on the route book and it took me an entire block of houses later to realize, "hey I dont remember throwing to that house!" So I turned around and had to drive through the route to make sure the correct houses had papers...I also had to get out of my car and pick up the papers that wer thrown to the wrong houses....It was a disaster! Anyway, I am sure I will be getting some complaints, which sucks because that is just money that is taken out of my check. I am starting to really wonder what this first paycheck is going to look like, but I dont think that it will be pretty, and even worse I am worried that I will see the paycheck and decide it isn't worth all the sleeplessness! I guess we'll see!
I write these really interesting blogs everyday, the problem is that I write them in my head...more like thinking about what I will blog about. I do it on my way to and from work. I do it before I am going to sleep, but when I am actually in front of the computer, I cant remember what it is that I was thinking. It really sucks! I really need to find some sanity!
JR has been working on the house, that has been wonderful, and although it is still not clean I dont even care all that much for the simple fact that he is doing something.
I was ready to write about how I am doing so much better, especially with my patience and Logan, and yet during this blog, He has knocked stuff down from the counter in the kitchen...in which he got a stern, "stay out of the kitchen, and dont touch the counter," he tried pulling the computer from me while I was typing. He grapped Dexter by the ears and started pulling, in which I smacked him on the hand for. He picked up his wipee box and threw it at me. He decided that he could sit in my lap while I was trying to type, and now he keeps kicking the computer while he is laying next to me!!! He is driving me crazy! Please, does anyone know where I can pick up a bottle of sanity? Well, I really must go, with all these actions, I think what my son is really trying to say is "Mommy, please come play with me" So Iam off to read a book and play with some toys! Maybe that is where I will find my sanity!

Another Day Another Dollar
I have successfully made it through my second Sunday paper! JR and Logan came to the warehouse with me last night to help me preslip and roll all my Sunday papers. It was so great and it cut about an hour off my time! Yea! I got home at 6:30 this morning, and last sunday it was almost 8! I am waiting for JR to go to the store...we are all out of tylenol, and I seriously need some, actually, I told I need some Aleve. I think I have arthritis in my hands. I wake up every morning(afternoon) with stiff, painful fingers. The past couple days has been aweful, I can barely move my thumb on my right hand. It hurts very bad!
My anger has subsided...I am pretty sure I was having a terrible day, sorry to put you all through that! I still have my moments. We all do, although I dont feel the need to put my head through a wall! I have started telling myself all the cliche things over and over, "I will get through this," "It could be worse," "I can do this," "Think about your wedding" (Okay, that one is all mine, but it is motivation enough to keep on truckin')
On Friday, Dana, Nikki, Brittany, and I all went to Davids Bridal so that they could try on their bridesmaids dresses. They are so cute I love them, and I am glad that they all liked them. I am planning on going home at some point so that I can take my sister and get her to try on the dress along with getting her size. THen I also have to go to Huntsville to get my little sister to try it on and get her size. At some point I need to meet up with Lacy to get her to try it on and get her size!!! I am hoping to get all the dresses ordered on the day that I go pick up mine (Sept. 21) that way all the dress arrive on the same day! Afterwards, we went to dinner and had a few margaritas...I think that it was exactly what I needed, because afterwards I felt much better and not nearly as bitchy...of course it could have been the margarita!

Anger Management
I am finding myself increasingly angry all the time. I take it out on the two people I love the most in the world and it just isn't fair. I seem to be constantly yelling, and I have so much anger built up that I just want to hit something...I mean literally punch the freakin wall. A little bit of backstory for those who haven't followed:
A little over 3 months ago I got engaged...and I couldn't be happier. Things were going along as they should be, of course we had bumps, but everything going in the right direction. In all the excitement I of course started to plan the wedding. In July, we went to visit my parents and upon telling my mother the plans, she quickly made it clear that she hated the plans we had made and that she would not be paying for anything other than a small family gathering, ceremony only, no reception, no food, no dance, no etc. So in order for JR and I to have the wedding that we want to have, we realized we would be paying for it ourselves. This might not be such a big problem except for the fact that we have pretty much always lived paycheck to paycheck. Not too much money left over for savings....and now that we have picked up new bills and a 300$ increase in the electric bill, the paychecks dont seem to be reaching the next paycheck. So in order to actually be able to save up money, I decided to get a second job....which is basically where all the anger is coming from.
I have started a job with the houston chronicle, basically a lame as paper route! I had a few options to choose from, but this one seemed to have the most perks with the least amount of downside. On the upside, I have an extra income so that I can save up for the wedding. I dont have to pay for child care due to the hours. On the downside, the hours are from 1:00AM until about 6:00AM, except on Sunday when I dont get home until 7:30 or 8:00. You get charged for every complaint you get, including those that are weather related, such as getting a wet paper! I am completely exhausted, I have had to change everyones schedule, and I always feel like shit. As I continue to do this job, I find a new downside almost daily!!!
It has been suggested to just get a normal 9-5 job. Obviously we put a lot of thought into our decision, and the idea of a 9-5 is great in theory. This is why it wont work...the point of the second job is to save money, now while have a full time job may have benefits such as insurance and things of this nature, the biggest problem is that I would have to put Logan in daycare. This means that I would have to find a job that would pay a substantial amount, in order to pay for the childcare and still have enough to save. It was also suggested that I could work at a daycare, that way Logan would be with me, I would get a discount on the daycare cost, and still be making money...great idea!!! Why that wont work, there are a number of reasons, but the top one is that I have worked at a daycare before, and although I was younger and didn't have a child of my own yet...it wan't that long ago, and I honest to God could not handle it! It would be one thing to watch another child or two here at the house with Logan, but I know for a fact that I can NOT work at a daycare and stay somewhat sane!
Because of this new job, I have found myself angry and resentful to just about everything and everyone around me. I sleep as much as I can during the day and then the rest of the day I live off of Red Bull and 5hour energy drinks. I usually take a nap during the day after JR gets home...actually it usually starts about an hour before he gets home and goes on for an hour after he gets home...the trick is getting Logan to nap with me and not wake up until after JR gets home. I usually get to work with job #1 after my nap and then allow myself to take an hour break before I leave at 1:00 for job #2. I get home somewhere between 5:30 and 6:15 on average and go to bed. We have changed Logans sleeping pattern so that he stays up until 12:30, therefore, on a good day, he sleeps until 11:00, but mostly about 10:30. Then I get up and play and read to him and go back to job #1. Then around 3:30/ 4:00 we take our nap and it all starts over...
This was going great for the first 4 days, then complete exaustion set in. I cant even seem to keep my eyes open. All I want to do is sleep, and I am incredibly cranky. In the last couple of days anger has taken over. I find myself yelling at Logan, yelling at JR, and then feeling completely guilty about it and then angry with myself for my inexcusable behavior. With all that emotion comes the incredible unstableness of the fear of being such a horrible mother and the sadness of how horrible I feel all the time. I cried all the way to work last night for no other reason except for the fact that I was so angry and had no one to yell at, and so disgusted with myself for the way I had acted all day long not only to JR but to Logan. I yelled at him for stupid stuff, I was mad because I wasn't getting enough work done for job #1. I was mad because my house is a wreck, I asked JR almost two weeks ago to help clean up, I thought that he see that I dont have a lot of time or energy to do the cleaning and he would step up and help out. I was WRONG! And that pisses me off. Back to asking him to clean... Tuesday I tell him I am geting frustrated with the house...Thursday (nothing has been done) I get upset, I raise my voice, and let him know he needs to clean when he gets home. Friday, he goes to his nephew's birthday party.Sunday...still hasn't done ANYTHING, I say....okay, I have gone from frustrated to upset-to pissed. I have tried to be patient, I have learned that JR doesn't like to be forced to do anything, I have learned that if I ask and just wait patiently, he will usually do it on his own time. So Sunday, he is now sick and cant possibly clean while sick! The following Tuesday is now here, and finally I say, "You dont have to clean the whole house, just please get something done. It has been a week since I asked you to help out and you haven't done a damn thing" Then as horrible as it sounds I give the ultimatum...."Either show me some sort of progress, I will take Logan and we will go somewhere and not come home until its clean" Now I wasn't threatening to Leave him as in break up, just go away until he gets it clean. So that night he does the dishes and goes to bed....WOW! He says he will do the rest the next day....Today is now Friday, and not one damn thing has been done, other than the dishes he did on Tuesday, which have been quickly replaced by a new load of dishes!
See people on the outside think that I am soooooo hot tempered and I just so mean Blah Blah Blah GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! THe truth is that I feel like I put up with a lot of fucking bull shit and I do my best to deal with it but seriously.....a week and a half of asking someone to help out and all they do is some dishes. I am seriously ready to scream, and as I sit here typing I am crying...why???? Because I am going fucking crazy!
I find myself wishing all day long that Logan would just sleep all day so that I can get other things acoomplished...WTF! What kind of mother am I? I cant believe I am even admitting this. I resent everything right now...I resent JR for needing to take naps on the weekends, because he is just so tired!
I resent JR for not helping out
I resent JR for not being more understanding
I resent JR for not being the one to get a second job
I resent my parents for not paying for my wedding
I resent my sister for being a fucking retard
I resent my sister for having so much drama in her life that my parents are too preoccupied with her to give me just a little bit of time (I know its selfish...I DONT EFFIN CARE)
I resent Logan for being so much work
I am angry at myself for not being better
I am angry at myself for not being more patient
I am angry at myself for not being more understanding
I am angry at the world for not being more fair
I am angry
I am angry
I am angry
Now to allow myself to calm down a little
I am so lucky to have a little boy who is beautiful, healthy, and for the most part very easy
I am so lucky to have JR, because I dont think I could be a single mom
I am so lucky to be so incredibly loved by JR even when I am being a complete bitch
I am so lucky to have friends and family
I am lucky to be alive
My mantra....for today at least....I will get through this, I will get through this, I will get through this!

Working hard for the money!
It is 12:19 in the morning, and I am trying to get geared up to go to work! Grrrr! I literally just signed out for job#1 so that I could mentally prepare myself for job#2. This morning will be the end of my first week with the second job! It is really difficult, I am throwing the houston chronicle...seven days a week! I ihave to be there by 1:30 in the morning and I haven't been getting home until around 6:00am. Saturday was my first day to go out on my own, and I didnt get home until 7:00am. Then even worse the Sunday paper, which is gigantic, I didn't get home until 8 am! so I did a lot of sleeping today. I really hate that I am having to work this job, because of the fact that it makes me miserable, I am constantly tired and cranky, but I dont really have a choice because I have to have some sort of money in order to pay for the wedding! Anyway, I am glad to finally have one week down...and I am looking forward to March when I get to stop doing it! Well unless we get married in June or July and then I guess I wont be able to quit until May or June. One way or another, I will get the wedding paid for even if I am a zombie walking down the aisle!!! That is really all that is new in the world of Sara...Eat...Sleep...work..sleep...play with Logan....eat....work.....play with Logan....sleep......work....play with Logan.....eat.....work.....sleep.....and it goes on and on and on!

Blink...a month goes by!
It has been a month since I have written a blog, several people have commented on the fact that they continuosly check my blog, only to find nothing new. So, lets see...in the past month Logan has gotten 5 new teeth, which puts him at the lucky number 13! I bought my wedding dress! We had a tropical storm...more important we had a hurricane party in which we made hurricanes, and a bundle of us got together and drank way to much. My mom and I still aren't on the same page about the wedding. I am still looking for a venue for the wedding and still haven't set a date. Dana (maid of honor) and I went into Houston yesterday to put on bridesmaids dress and I think we have found the one...problem there is that the dress isn't made in the color that I had chosen. So I may need to change the color now. I am hoping that the dress will look good on all the other bridesmaids, but we shall soon see! I love my dress, and cant wait until it comes in! YEA!
I talked to my mom the other day and for the first time she brought up the wedding along with an idea! The idea is way outside the box, and if she wouldn't have told me from the beginning that is was off the wall, I would have thought it was a joke. Her idea was that we could get married in a gazebo in San Marcos (the next town over from where my parents live). It is really pretty and in this gorgeous park....everything good so far. After the ceremony, "If I am still wanting to do food, we could do hamburgers and hotdogs." Turning south at this moment....hamburgers and hotdogs...good for a picnic, good for a birthday party, good for a family reunion, NOT so good for a wedding. "Then for fun, everyone can go float the river....headed further south! But here's the kicker...."your bridesmaids can wear the little animal floaties that go around the waist, and the groomsmen can wear flippers and snorkels" now we are so far south that we are on the verge of the loony bin.
Now, one the one side, she has lost her freaking mind, on the other side, at least she is thinking about it....now if I could just get her to think more on the traditional side!
Today has been quite an adventure, I woke up because Logan woke me up, but I was extremely tired. I reluctantly got out of bed, fed Dexter as usual and went about my morning routine. Took Dexter outside for bathroom duty. He was perfectly fine, did his business, played and ran around. Business as usual, so far! After we came inside I hear a wierd noise, so I get up to check it out, and find a giant pile of vomit...Grrr! I went to get the cleaning stuff, start cleaning, and see another pile of vomit. I start gagging over and over. Iget it all cleaned in the living room and go looking for Dexter, who I know is hiding under the bed...its kind of his safe place. There is yet another pile in the bedroom...I start cleaning that. Dexter come out form under the bed throws up again....which was too much for me, because at that moment I vomit...I throw a towel over the vomit and run to the bathroom. I went back into the bedroom because I heard Dexter barking and Logan crying...I cant see either one of them, so I look under the bed and see Logan's little feet, so I drag him out, and of course, he had doggie vomit all over him. I draw the bath water, and give him a thorough cleaning. Finally, we took a nap. When we got up, I still felt horribly tired, but I had no choice, I had to get up. To top everything off, about a week ago, Dexter chew my computer cord, and JR had to rig it up so that it would still charge the computer....It has been fine until today when Logan grabbed part of the cord and it started sparking...it doesn't send out a shock or anything...I checked...Yes, I put my fingers directly on it and made it spark. So now I have to get that fixed grrrrr.....and to make matters worse, now the damn thing wont continue to charge. So I hope JR can fix it by tonight, because I only have an hour and 52 minutes left before the computer dies!
Needless to say, I am looking forward to the weekend!

Needless to say, I am looking forward to the weekend!
