    A little update...

    I have been on hiatus from this site for quite a while. Maybe a year or so, or perhaps two. I don’t remember. I notice several regulars are also gone. I’m dropping in for a little update. First, my youngest son Christopher graduated high school on Thursday. I cried at the ceremony, and felt...

    I am starting to really enjoy my son

    I have seen huge progress in my son over the last couple of years. He is a lot more vocal with me, although still mostly non verbal with teachers and other adults. I used to get those "I don't know" answers to every question I would ask him, but now, surprisingly, my son is not only answering...

    Just when I thought it was getting better

    Another job complaint. If any of you are sick of hearing about this, (and I don't blame you) please scroll past. I do believe I posted some time last year of accepting my job duties, although I didn't like them, and being willing to continue at my job until I retire in 4 years. I thought I...

    Another random thought running around in my head

    I am sick and run down, as I have been battling a nasty virus for the last month that I can't seem to get rid of. In between working and going home and feeling like death, I have been feeling depressed and out of sorts. I keep feeling like I just can't seem to win for losing, and the...

    Secret Santa. Help!

    We do Secret Santas at work every year. We don't have to, but I choose to because it's fun both to give and receive. Well, for the first time in the 12 years I've been working here, I have a VERY difficult secret santa. I got the athletics secretary, who is a total tomboy and not feminine at...

    Just a few thoughts running around in my head

    I have been thinking a lot lately about my relationships, past and present. I'm talking about boyfriends, fiancées, friends, friends with benefits, family members, and acquaintances. In my late teens/early twenties, I was young and naïve and thought that just because I was honestly the nicest...

    No wonder I'm so darned tired

    We had a blood drive at the school on Wednesday and I went to donate blood. Turns out, I didn't qualify because I'm anemic. I had no idea. I have been soooo tired for months now, no matter how much sleep I get, and it's been a nuisance. I am pretty alert in the morning, but once lunch time...

    I think God is testing me

    I just need to vent. Sorry if it sounds like I'm whining, but seriously how many more stressful events can happen at once before I break? For quite awhile now, my bipolar has been stable. I still have the same anxiety, but my fairly new medication Luvox is helping to take the edge off so it's not as...

    I am in crisis

    I am sitting here at work in tears, trying to hold it all in. I just received a phone call from my apartment complex, stating that during a mandatory bed bug inspection, our place was found dirty and if not cleaned we could get kicked out. We don't have bed bugs, a neighbor does, but we were...

    Here we go again

    Most of you know about my daughter's struggle to graduate. For those of you who don't, here's a quick recap. My daughter started having issues with GERD when she was in middle school. However, she still managed to make it to school every day. Once high school hit, she used every excuse in the...

    Sad story with a happy ending

    Our dear Lily passed away unexpectedly two weeks ago. We still don't know what went wrong. She was only five years old. For about a week she began losing weight, although she was still eating and pretty much acting normal. Was planning on taking her to the vet, then the night before she became...

    What do you do when your adult child starts refusing treatment?

    My daughter has been over 18 for quite some time now. In December she turns 20. After all those years of being (thankfully) medication compliant for the most part, she is now picking and choosing which medications she takes. I don't just mean her psychiatric medications. She is also pre diabetic, is on her way to...

    No summer job for me

    Never did get that district summer job I was promised. By the time I found out they had no work for me, it was already the end of July. I scrambled around trying to get a job at a temp agency, with no luck. I am now in debt up to my eyeballs. I am haggling with my bank and my car insurance...

    Instant messaging and time question.

    I am curious about something. I PM'd somebody on the board this morning, and when I went to look at what I wrote, it said I posted the message at 5:49 pm yesterday, which is WAY off timing wise. I was wondering where this site is based off of, since the time is wrong. I am Pacific Standard Time...

    God answered my prayers

    I posted awhile ago about having to work this summer, the first summer I have not been able to live off of savings since I first started work here eleven years ago. Since my son is older, I no longer get the tax credit, hence getting a much smaller amount this year. So I only had one month...

    I need stories. Good stories

    I need stories of hope. Have you ever told yourself, after being heartbroken many times, "Never again. I will never trust anyone." Then you accidentally let someone in your heart. They break it. Then you tell yourself, "I told you not to trust anyone, stupid." Well that's how I'm feeling...

    Drug test question. Help!

    I am applying for summer jobs at various temp agencies because I can no longer afford not to work in the summer. Lets put it this way: If I don't get a job this summer my son and I are homeless (no exaggeration.) I have an interview tomorrow afternoon with a temp agency to apply summer time...

    Acceptance

    I know I complain about my job so much, but I have finally accepted that this is my job, I get to retire in 4 years, and I can deal with it. I still hate the phone calls, really think it's unethical what my boss is having us do, but I have been getting through it for the last two years, so I...

    I need a good lie

    Okay so normally I don't believe in lying to people. I am a Christian and I think that even if I tell a little white lie God will strike me dead. But this time I feel I have no choice. Lately my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) has been acting up badly. Not only am I paranoid about sleepwalking, terrified of sleep, and...

    Kitty cat question

    So my younger cat Charlie has developed a skin disorder. He is two and a half years old, and has never had a problem until now. A couple of months ago we took him to the vet because he started developing scabs all over his body. The vet checked him out, did an exam, and couldn't find anything...
