i'm so inbetween today....up one minute, down the next... I HATE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

stop the roller coaster I wanna get off!!!!!!!!!

Please be seated and wait to the attendant to strap our seatbelt. Keep your hands in the car at all times and do not attempt to escape. Please wait until the ride comes to full and complete stop and exit carefully after the attendant has unstrapped you. Do not let the green walls scare you, but be careful of the guy in the corner

Sorry but sometimes laighter is the best medicine for me. I have told people Ive been on a roller coaster for most of my life......Not mking fun of you at all

Last night I was able to be there for my partner. She is an aide with her leg in a cast still coming to work. She was telling me that she needed to vent. I helped her not to buy into the drama that can happen between shifts. Anger can be very tempting especially when one is hurting. She taught me this code when one is in a room and the other one wants to know where the partner is. She says, "Marco" and then I am suppose to say, "Polo". I let her know that everyone is venting and if someone wants casts stones that they better be beyond reproach. In NA we call this not letting anger live rent free and we feel that anger is a commodity that we can not afford. I told her that if someone wants to take us on that they will have to take both of us on. I wanted her to know that she wasn't alone and that I have survived many of these temper tantrums. Some people just like stirring up stuff and it only makes the smell worse. I was able to use laughter as a weapon against anger but to still take her concerns seriously. It helped us later when we had to deal with one resident who is very trying and who would rather not get up in the morning. We both had our wits together and didn't become part of the problem but part of the solution. Divide and conquer sometimes can be very effective when done in a caring way when something has to be done that neither really want to do.

thanks creationsfire... need that!

Glad I could make you laugh mommy.....and whats the matter wild?

Men.........................................

oh, yeah. Them. Well, I was going to say that I actually have a date tomorrow, but think you should warn me......whats up?

We had a stupid fight Friday nite, that he started. And I haven't heard from him since.

That sucks, but at least you arent fighting right now. Had someone I wished would call, but they are gone forever. Do you really want to hear back?

my ex sent me e-mails trying to make me feel bad she went back to her ex husband and she is having trouble at work and i guess he does not care about it so she has been calling me now she is telling me she still misses me in her life in an e-mail, brings back alot of pain, might go for a drive or something to clear my head

Let him sulk it out. You don't need someone who starts fights anyway

Sorry Thunder.......don't answer. I know it's hard but you have the right idea. Get as far away from the emails as possible right now. Delete them so you don't read them again

Hey wild and thunder.....they made thier beds, let them change the sheets!

thank you, think i might go down to the river and hang out for a while, sucks how one person can mess up a great day who knows when i might have another. She still gets to me i try to close my heart and she seems to break right back in. maybe im just a fool i dont know. hope everyone else has a good night

Sorry thunder.....hope you can feel better, although I know how hard it is. G'nite and email if you need to. Trying to let someone go is always hard, no matter how bad it is in reality. I hope that someday we can not let our thoughts of others hurt so much. Whenever I think I'm outta the woods here I go again. BIG HUG

Thank you for the hug spent the whole night sitting in the truck bed just staring at the water so now am tired and just feeling low and trying to function at work, lucky for me I am working tomorrow i guess it will give me something to do. Thank you all for the support it is greatly appreciated.

Respect to all, Merry Christmas

Too bad you are so far away Thunder. I'd come and give ya a hug, fix ya a hot toddy and watch the water with ya. Hope you can have a better day. Karen

thank you, i just need to cowboy up and keep going
