Thanksgiving plans ruined

....all because of a computer glitche. Oh, the GAP computer system did not take my request for time off that I put in 3 weeks ago. So therefore I have to work this week and for those who did not see my lovely face and shining spirit today at church..achem gag.. I was at work. Yes, 7am busting boxes for the GAP makin' pennies to feed my kids and my habit(dc).

Why? What is the freakin' lesson from this? Don't spend time with your family?

Now I have to plan Thanksgiving dinner for the kids and Brian. Ugh, does anyone know where the nearest soup kitchen is?

hi there

I guess you could say that a little heater can make you feel a little better. I work 6 days a week and at the end of a cold day like today I sit and watch tv with a little heater blasting beside me. Can't say it makes my problems go away, but it warms me up.
I do have a husband that puts up with my selfishness, sitting in my room under a blanket alone with the tv on a Sat night. Well I am a working woman that does justify it don't ya think.

My thanks today are my kids are healthy very healthy thank you Lord for that.

New Posting

I am not sure why I am even writing this enrty. Maybe because I need to express myself and I want to let it all out. I am not sure how our family has survived these past few months being unemployeed. If you think your life sucks try not having and income and not knowing how you are going to feed your kids tomorrow or put clothes on them or keep them in a warm house. Yes I know everyone had their troubles, but these are mine and I have a right to be upset and fustrated and mad and sad and angry and troubled and hopeless and wondering, and I guess thankful in the end. I am thankful that we are still alive and healthy and somewhat together. I am grateful for all those angels who work for my savior, who pray for my family and give their unconditional love and support to my family. It is mightly hard being on this side of the track, it is easier for me to give then recieve.
I am not a holiday person which makes it 10x worse going through this challenge in our situation. I am too old for this and if it wasn't for my kids I might not be sticking around. So I go on trying to be in the moment for that is all I can do

My Street Fighting Man

I had to change my husbands song to a "Stones" song of course. We are big Rolling Stones fans so I went through and tried to pick out a song...then there it was Street Fighting Man...only because of the name.

Here is the story...
It was a dark night in the streets of Philly... 2am... there he was sitting in a Denny's with a few of the guys after a long night at the Domino (local achem..bar). Joking around, being the kind-a guy B he decided to do the fork trick and there it went flying across the room. Guess what happened next.
The fork just happened to hit a table with a group of Big Men of the African descent (probably not politically correct but I tried). Well they came over and confronted the culprit. In an instant the sucker punch was launched. The brawl began fists flying, food flinging, old ladies screaming, and cops coming.
Like a flash of a light B and his friends escaped with out penality....except for the black eye....

The next day was the day B was coming to meet my parents, I was 19 and he was 24, and there it was the BLACK EYE. Can't remember what the little white lie it was to cover it up, but it worked he passed inspection. I'm sure my Dad didn't fall for it he just knew that my "Street Fighting Man" was the one for me!

Your Song

Do you have a song? Everyone must have a song.

My song is "HOT STUFF"

because I am hot stuff ..lick ..sizzle

My B well he is my "Rhinestone- Cowboy"

Name your song, my peeps, and I will put it on my playlist....pass along if you please lets see how long the list gets

4th of July or Battle of Spring Hill?

Yeah we made the trip to the big Spring Hill Fireworks Display, being from a big city like Philly didn't expect much. Last 4 years we were on the beach watching the fireworks all around us:(

This year we went to "Battle of Spring Hill " hill to get eaten alive by TN BUGS. Got the kids settled and off the works went....

B and I turned then turned around and HOLY CRAP you could see a display that is bigger than anything imaginable. It was so amazing...we couldn't believe that it was legal to shoot off fireworks like that just anywhere, the whole horizon was on lit up, so much better that we decided to watch that instead...sad huh

Driving home my B just had to reenact "the Battle", so the windows went down and out the rifle went. Yes he is watches too much History Channel crap. Just today he said that he a had a dream he was drilling a bullet to deactivate it, I guess it is better than dreaming of "girly girls". Every time a bang went of he would shoot...until I got my cannon out and shot him dead. It was a wonderful reenactment of the battle I must say.

I think it is about time the mayor put a lid on the open fireworks here...just a little scary don't ya think?
