My house is a mess and I�m going to be having out of town guests from Tampa in less than two weeks. Every day when I go home, I�m not inspired to clean it up. Even though the depression is lifting, I�m still running a bit low on energy.
I hope I�m not getting the flu. Could this be from the flu? I got my flu shot, isn�t that supposed to be some kind of insurance against getting it?
I was wondering how I�m going to be able to finance adopting Paige for Christmas..and out of the blue, my company awards us $75.00 for Christmas. Joy! Now I can go to Marshall�s and get her a blue London Fog coat, that�s been marked down to $29.99. It�s not only a bit past the knees; it�s also quilted and appears it will keep Paige quite warm. I might also get her some matching gloves and a hat. I�m also going to buy her some Barbie�s because it�s not Christmas without toys.
I feel bad for the kid. She�s got a junkie for a mom and a loving Grandma who kind of holds it all together. Then her Grandma loses her job a few weeks before Christmas.
It really stinks for her, so it�s nice when the big deity upstairs helps me help other people. Smiles..
I am really ecstatic about going to Leavenworth to visit my Dad�s family this weekend. Even driving on the highway doesn�t seem as scary, maybe that�s because (drum roll please): I took the highway home from Cinder�s house on Sunday. I know you all are happy for me conquering my fear. I just did it. And once I was on the highway, I wondered why it scared me so much in the first place. It was a piece of cake!
No flashing of my life before my eyes, and no panic attack. Yay.
Anyway, my dad is still in jail, so I won�t see him in Kansas this weekend, but I�ll probably get to see my hot hillbilly (new) brother Ronnie and his wife and their new baby. I�m also going to hand out some little Mary Kay goodie bags to my kin since we�re not exchanging presents this year.
My cousin�s Angie and Barbara will want to go hang out at some redneck bar so we can scope cowboys and become intoxicated. I believe Aunt Sophie is going to be watching Jackie while we do that.
We will then have our designated driver (a friend) drive our drunken butts home.
Jackie has a program at school tonight. I got really mad because I get this note in her paperwork last week that she was to wear all brown for this program because she�s a dog. Hey, thanks for the notice.
My daughter is blond-haired and gray-eyed; she doesn�t own a shred of brown clothing. Ewww! And though I would�ve bought her something I didn�t have the money. So, I rifled through her drawers and I found an Army green shirt with brown sleeves that�s really cute, and threw it with some dark pants. Viola. You�re now a pup. Go forth and prosper.
I wanted to mention to you guys that I sent my story to the following magazines yesterday: Glamour, Jane, Marie Claire, and Cosmopolitan. Someone is going to do this story. It needs to be told.
Oprah hasn�t replied yet, though I�ve sent them no less than 6 letters and email in the past 3 years.
Thanks Salsalita for the inspiration to do this. I love you for believing in me.
