Journal Preparation #1

Today there are 26 days until christmas. There is so much I need to get done. Today s chore will be deciding on pictures for my sister's gifts and contacting people about our chistmas party that is sunday. Make sure we have all the food drinks and stuff needed for that.

Does fine really mean fine?

He walks in the door it’s later than usual. She had tried to convince herself before he arrived that she wouldn’t be grouchy. As usual he walks in and just stands there. Not an ounce of happiness appears on his face.
"God that is annoying" she thinks to herself.
"What’s wrong?" She asked
"Nothing, I’m fine" he replied non convincingly
She is so bothered by his constant bad moods and really tired of being brought down herself. She is angered by the constant need to feel like she is walking on egg shells while he is home.
He takes his jacket off and hat and just tosses them into a chair by the coat rack. He goes to the fridge to get a beer. No conversation. The room remains silent.
She goes on with her work. Not bothering to look away from the computer screen.
"Well what did you do all day?" he said snidely
"Oh nothing" she tries to stay calm
"Is everything ok" he asked
"Oh everything is just FINE!!!!" she smiles

Be specific when you want something Risky!

What will two women who are best friends do to tease a man? I know that my best friend Michele and I would do just about anything. Anything that would get them all hot and bothered that is.
We had gone to Acadia National park that day, two young girls and two young guys. All of which were very close friends. One joke turned into another, then adding a sexual twist to it.
Before you know it someone is saying something and then the next person is daring you to follow through with it. Well that is what happened that day. By the time that we left sand beach we had plans of getting some beer and heading back to my place. The boys had dared us to drink while wearing out skimpiest lingerie. Of course neither one of us would ever lose a dare especially when it came to those two boys.
Once home Michelle and I went to the bedroom to change up. We thought ourselves to be very funny when we came out with our pajamas over our lingerie. We had won the bet by default. The boys had not been specific enough. Guess next time they will rethink that idea!

Week 10


We have to do a second EKG, really? My head was spinning as I tried to stay calm, I didn’t want my 4 year old son to have to go through any of this. We had just spent the last hour since the first EKG using alcohol pads to get the sticky leads off. His skin is so sensitive to sticky stuff like that and band aids. They seem to stick to him twice as hard as anyone else. The two men walk back in with the rolling machine, sticking the stickiest things all over him again.
***
The emergency room #6 was plain. They need to have at least one or two painted and decorated for kids. It’s intimidating enough to feel so bad. It amazed me that being only 4 years old he felt bad enough to ask me to be taken to the emergency room. What was going on with him was he going to be ok?
***
His face looked pale to me. My mother said I was over reacting. That was her way to try to get me to feel better. All it did was make me irritated at her. He was short of breath. You could see the struggling look on his face. He looked scared and uncomfortable.
***
“Andrew, are you ok?” I asked
“No mama I can’t get a deep breath.” He said
“You can’t breathe very good?” I asked trying to make sure that was what he meant
“Well I can breathe mama I just can’t get it deep. Something’s not right mama you need to take me to the doctors.”
I could see how upset and uncomfortable he was. I got him in the car and headed for the hospital. I called my husband to see if he could leave work and meet me there, he was too busy to do so. I then called my mom to see if she could help out with Anna.

UGH, Walmart!

Seriously are there really no parking spots? Is that even possible? I drive around waiting and watching the people leave the store. Unpacking carts and getting in their cars. I wait with my blinker on letting the whole world know that I am taking that spot when they back out. Finally I had been waiting what seemed like an hour but was only really about 10 minutes. Just as I went to pull in a sports car comes flying out of nowhere nearly crashing head on with my Malibu.

*****
As I rounded the corner to the toys I was getting excited for Christmas. I had to get the dancing Mickey Mouse and the Fur Real White Doggie. If I wait too long I won’t be able to find them. To the doll isle I head where is the Fur Real Puppy? I see the cat, I don’t want the cat, where is the dog, then I see a big empty spot. I bed down and read the tag. Yep they are all out already

*****
I head up the isle and go towards the Disney Toys. I had been to three stores already looking for the new Dancing Mickey Mouse. You would think being a hot new item this year stores would be prepared. I looked around and I couldn’t find it. I looked for a sales associate. I couldn’t find one. UGH! There is always too many around when you don’t need them and none when you do. Finally I see one in a few isle over.
