Grieving

Hopefully, none of you really knows what happens to the victim of long-term, ongoing abuse. It's always hard, but for some of us, it's harder because, when we finally escape, there's no time to grieve for what has been lost, for what might have been, for the dreams that have died, for the love that...

Wow, Am I Tired

I'm ready to sleep. I got to bed at 1 this morning, and then I got up at 7 and showered and got ready for the day. Got the kids up and ready to go with their dad. He picked them up at 8, and I followed them out. Grabbed a BLT at the local coffee shop and ate it on the way to the Red Cross chapter... Sign in to see full entry.

Tomorrow Will Be Busy!

The ex picks up the kidlets at 8 tomorrow morning, and I'm going to be leaving shortly thereafter to teach a CPR class, which means I miss the older boy's basketball game.:( After class, I have clothes to fold and iron, papers to file, bills to pay.... Yep, it's gonna be a busy day. Sign in to see full entry.

The Faster I Go ... the Behinder I Get.

I may have this tattooed on my forehead in 36pt bold Arial Narrow. I just can't seem to get caught up. And I've been going at a frantic pace this week, so I am exhausted, on top of everything else. Oh well. Today was good. I went to a notary law seminar that was excellent. I did a lot at the office.... Sign in to see full entry.

Tired

It's been a long day. I worked hard at the office today, and I had a meeting with the boys' therapist. It was a good meeting, and I came away quite encouraged. Things can't go exactly as I would ideally want, but the therapist has confirmed that there is a problem and that care must be taken in... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Day, Another Headache

Snarl. I have a migraine again. I am so fed up with this. At least they aren't lasting weeks and weeks like they did right after the wreck in July. But I hadn't had them at all before the wreck --- not since I went on Yasmin back in late 2000 or early 2001. Yasmin kept even the hormone ones under... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Milestone Achieved

The children's Christmas program is over. It went quite well. All of our kids in their costumes --- our bevy of "friendly beasts" --- were a big hit. And they did a lovely job. Only one of our soloists "choked," but she bravely said, "I've forgotten the words," looked down at me, and I sang her back... Sign in to see full entry.

Scary Times

My mom is sick. I'm worried about her. We have had trouble getting her in to the doctor's office, since her regular doctor is on vacation until the sixth, and everyone else seems to be booked solid. Finally, there was a cancellation, so she'll get in to see someone tomorrow. She's in such pain that... Sign in to see full entry.

Completely Blank Today

I don't have a clue what to write today. I've been cleaning and going to the office, cleaning and going to the office, for the last couple of days, and, as you know, I spent Thanksgiving weekend cleaning. I'm 'bout cleaned out. It's nice to see so much progress, though, and to know that it's just a... Sign in to see full entry.

Still Working Hard -- And a Flood

It's down to one room now --- pretty much. There's some stuff in boxes under my bed, and all of the ironing is still stacked in my bedroom, but other than that, everything that still has to be organised is now in the living room. There's some housecleaning and stuff that needs to be done before I... Sign in to see full entry.
