Today is Saturday. In my little corner of the world, the sun is shining and it's hotter than hell outside. Not that i've been to hell before. That's strange. I have said " i'm living in hell" at certain times before. That was when i was a lot younger and i put myself in certain situations that made my life a living hell. Now, i see my kids living their lives and i try to tell them that the choices they make right now will affect their futures. Like i was at their age, they don't want to hear me or i should say they can't hear me. When i was 21, there wasn't anyone that was going to tell me what to do, where to go, or what to say. Yeah, i had an attitude. But my kids didn't have a mean father like mine and I thought that would make a difference in their lives. But, it didn't. What is going on? All 3 of my boys are over 1 8. It seems that not one of them cares what i have to say. Or do they? I just don't know. Maybe they've heard my voice so much over the years that they've learned to tune it out. Like a kind of white noise. 
You see? When i write things down it sorta seems to make a little sense. After raising 3 boys on my own it's a wonder i have any sense left at all. There are 2 pennies laying on my table. So, i know i have 3 cents. argh! It took me a while to find that damn !.
There is lots for me to do today. I have to buy food, go to my mothers house, fix dinner, wash clothes, sweep the floor, and the list goes on. I'll try to write some more tonight.
I like to read and comment on other's blogs too. That takes a lot of well spent time.
You know. Sometimes, i feel like i've moved into a new community. I like it here.
 
wow

    I know how it feels to be sooooooo mad. My long nights at work and the crazy hot work environment makes me mad mad mad mad mad mad etc. So, when i get home in the mornings i have only one cup of coffee and pull out ol' lappy. And here we go. I rant and rave a lot and most of the time make no real sense to anyone but perhaps myself. But, i feel better, better than i have in a long time.

    Day.......do not worry......you can use this space for anything you need...
    Its all yours.
    I am glad to read you feel better. The kind of job you do would drive crazy anybody, i think....

    I know what you mean about raising your kids....i have one...13..and i am bracing for the roller coaster....i hope some of what i says to her about life will remain in her brain and heart no matter what...

    But then..at one point...we have to let them go....

    Have a great Sunday and stay away from this damn hot Texas sun, if you can....;-)

    keep it up day2day, when you think about it, as you have written on my blog, writing alone has the strength to wash you clean from bad feelings. 
    and i think about you and raising three kids, wow. you have a lot of strength and that's just beautiful.

    hi again, i would love to share my stories. but i have to translate them into english :) and that is some hard work. but i think some new stories might come up, written in english, if i can manage. thx for your lovely comments. i think with or without taking lessons, drawing helps you escape. i share your feelings.

    Ginger.....Yeah, my kids are all older now. They sometimes tell me, "how did you do it mom, without going out of your mind."  Oh the stories i could tell about them and the things they've done to drive me over the edge. But, they never could quite make me go over.  I had to find the courage inside of myself and stand up to them and be their mother. I couldn't be their friend. They had plenty of those. What they needed was a mother. I did the best that i could. So, yeah, brace yourself dear.  The roller coaster ride is en route. You do the best you can do.  Sometimes it may seem they don't listen, but they do. They hear everything. 

    empty.....Thanks for the pep talk. I needed that.

    day2day, i've always found that one gets out of this place more than what one puts into it. it's good to see that you're having that same experience. :>

    ed,

    'gone bloggin'    That's my sign

    I told my husband that i wanted a sign made with those words on it,  so i could hang it on the outside of our bedroom door. He thought it was slightly funny. I have spent a lot of time here. But, your right. I've gotten so much more out of it. And, that's thanks to all the nice people here. I'm just a regular woman going through life in search of something. I do love to write. I've come to the write place. he he
