Slow News Day

Michael Jackson Swears Off Women!

This was the headline I saw when logged in to my internet provider.
Is This really news? Come on people!!!
Michael Jackson swears off children, or Michael Jackson swears off plastic surgery....These would be news.
Just the fact that at least two women have seen him naked is enough to make me vom. It is amazing what some people do for money. Or should I say "who" people do for money.

I need to go read Shakespeare or something to replenish the brain cells I just lost.

WARNING:
These may change without notice.......

change is good!

Whoever said change is bad, never got 12 inches of hair cut off!! WOW...does it feel great! It helps that I am donating it to "Locks of Love"...but I am much more shallow than that. There is a definite high to be had when you make a drastic change. You feel brave and adventurous! I love to see the look on peoples faces...and the "you look great!" comments dont suck!
Every now and then, you need to kick start your passion. Whether it is cutting your hair, painting a room red, quitting your job to follow your dream....it doesn't matter. Do something that scares you a little bit...when you do...its amazing!

This high will last for a while....I wonder what I'll do next?

The dark side

I feel I am being lured over to the dark side....A.D.D. medication. I have been fighting a losing battle to help my son. Not able to hold him back (yet) to a more age appropriate grade, (he is a year younger) I have been preparing for plan "B". I was afraid that medication would always be in the future...every professional I talked to went straight to it. But I thought I could manuver around it, I thought I could beat it, I thought....I don't know what I thought!

SO, we went to his doctor and talked about medication...we settled on Addaral EX...one pill a day and he will magically be better!..yeah, right.

We started him on a Saturday so we could watch for any side effects. Now, you must know that my son had been present during my discussion with the doctor of the side effects that are possible, So of course he developed all of them as soon as he had taken the pill...except for sudden death...he couldn't pull that one off. We finally convinced him that he did not have every side effect, and he soon forgot about the medication and went about his normal day.

He did become extremely chatty and even had a slight facial tick, for about a day.

Monday morning, I wrote the teacher a note letting her know that he had started this new med and asked her to let me know if she noticed any changes. Well I didn't expect a note back the first day...but there was one, letting me know that he had completed all but 1 assignment. This from a child who doesn't finish anything!

I have to admit that I had mixed feelings...part of me didn't want it to work. I didn't want to "give in" but I also don't want my son to suffer....if the medication helps him..?.?.?

I am not proud of this outcome...We are still fighting to keep him in 3rd grade where he belongs, but if that doesn't happen, at least I have plan "B"

i am flawed!!

I have many flaws...I am lazy, I watch brainless reality tv, I spend too much money....but my worst flaw is my inability to disguise my feelings. If I don't like you...you are well aware that I don't like you!
Case in point... new girl at work! Hate her!
She started driving me insane on her very first day, while I was training her. I was sitting on a chair before the restaurant opened, talking to some coworkers, when she walked up and SAT ON MY LAP! Unless you are an oiled up hunk of man-candy being compensated for being on my lap....you dont belong on my lap! She is also all up in the kool-ade...which is not my favorite attribute in a person. If I wanted you to know what I was talking about, you would hear your name at the begining of the sentence! The final straw was when this 20 year old beotch asked me if I ever got to see The Doors in concert! BITCH, Jim Morrson died a year before I was born!

Sometimes I feel bad because I am not nice to her, but then she does something new to annoy me....and no more guilt.
Well, I guess what you will learn from this is that if I seem to like you, then I do!!!!
