Dear Jake,
You are making me lose my mind. I can no longer sleep peacefully at night and my hair is falling out. I'm tired, cranky, rundown, sick and overly worried. It's your fault.
I'm struggling so hard with what I see as keeping you alive and what you see as me being a bitch. I want you to be happy, I want you to have fun, and I want you safe. You're not making it easy.
I know you want me to understand you, but I want you to understand me as well. When I say to you "you are the company you keep" I am not saying it because I think it's right. I'm saying it because it's true. As much as you hate it, the reputation you earn now will follow you around. I know that no matter how much I cry and lecture you, you're just going to keep trying to etch out your identity in this world. I just hope you're wise in your choices and I hope you realize that no matter where you go or what you do, I will be following you and trying to keep bad things away from you and you away from bad things.
I love you so much,
Mom

crack attack
I realized the other day that I have turned into a person who needs to be entertained at every waking moment.
This is what I'm talking about:
Talk radio: My biggest quandry of the new year has been if I should listen to the Sports Junkies or Elliot in the Morning. I listen to Elliot in the car and the Junks at work. (fair is fair). Then on the way home I listen to Don and Mike.
Tivo: I've become a tv junkie. If you want to see me get giddy like a school girl, just ask me what's on TV on a given night. Now that we have Tivo I'm able to watch all of the shows I've grown addicted to over the past year. I can watch 24, How I Met Your(stupid)Mother, Bones, House, my soaps, My name is Earl, The Office, etc and just about anything else I can think of and I can work this around the many episodes of Law and Order that I haven't seen yet.
Netflix: for the times when I want to expand my horizons and watch something artsy or foreign or weird that won't be at the video store. For example...right now we've got Killerball and Willy Wonka. Ok nevermind ..I'm not expanding anything.
Ipod: I'm new to the whole ipod thing and I don't like earbuds so ipod gets used at work where I can plug in my earphones that don't gouge my ears or in the car when there's a repeat on my favorite talk shows. I know the ipod holds 1000 songs but I only need about 10 right now. "my humps" "my doorbell" and "rappers delight" (yes the old one that lasts almost as long as my commute) get lots of play. I deleted most of the beatles and maroon 5 that Dan had put on there because ipod seemed to love them and I was getting tired of oh blah di.
Innernets: Fredtalk, The Basement and a bajillion blogs keep me busy during the day while I'm at work. If you sprinkle this with aim chats and emails from my sexy hubby, I never have to worry about getting bored (or working too hard)
Cell phone: just as soon as I think I might die because talk radio took a break for commercials that will last THIRTY MINUTES, I realize that I can just call someone! I either call Dan or the kids most of the time. They're the best entertainers ever. Sometimes I call gayleygayle or my mom or Traci but sometimes I don't even need a voice, so I'll call Sprint and talk to their machine or one of their stupid representatives to find out how many minutes I have used, or to just harass them for not speaking english after I CLEARLY pressed 1 to speak english. GOSH.
Once I get home I'm not usually free to indulge in my technological pleasures so I play with the kids (the ones who still speak to me at least). I even cook dinner sometimes, but while I'm doing that Don and Mike are on. woohoo!

Resolve
The holidays came and went and everyone lived and was happy and overly fat. I got everything I wanted plus some and so did everyone else I know. We're all very fat spoiled people. The most thoughtful gift was the milk goat that Tree donated to some needy folks in my kids' names. I truly appreciate her not giving us the goat because we don't need anymore animals.
Trevor turned 12 last week. He's always such a trooper about having a birthday after everyone in the world is entirely too tired to party with him. He and his best friend got to go see Narnia and he raked in cash for his birthday since he'd already gotten so much for Christmas. Cash makes the world a brighter place I guess.
I had several resolutions this year because I am such an incredible mess.
First I'll drop 30 lbs by summer. I know it can be done and I've got exactly 1.5 days of dieting under my belt already. I feel like a new (yet strangely, still fat) woman.
Second, I'm going to try to stop saying "fuck" so much. I adore the word but I hear my negative outlook and sour disposition is leaving a black mark on my soul. Eliminating the F word might turn it to a lighter shade of ebony...I reserve the right to still scatter "shit, damn, asshole and son of a bitch" liberally through out my conversations. Baby steps.
Third, I have a few organizational issues that I want to work on. I think the 40 calendars I now own are going to help with that. I even have sharpies to make writing in the calendars more fun. If you want me to remember your birthday or address, now is a good time to jot an email to me.
Fourth, I want to spend more time making myself look put together. I'll accessorize and wear makeup (SOMETIMES) and even brush my hair. I'm a mom...I should look like I know how to dress myself even if I don't have time to look in the mirror at what I've done.
I have a few more personal ones that I don't want to write about here since they most likely won't work and I'll have to eat crow. (like the f word one and the diet one will work. who am I kidding?).
I'd also like to think I'll write more this year but I'm usually so busy blogging inmymind that I forget to type out the brilliance I've created...this explains why my real blog is so boring.
