After two days of leaning over a toilet, when it's over you feel like you could conquer the world!

My mother and my sister are driving me crazy! Last night I went over to my mother's house to cook. I was in such a great mood when I first arrived. This great mood was quickly destroyed by the two of them! My sister was laying across the chair acting like she was dying because of a stuffy nose. She helped very little as a result. This really irritated me. They fact of the matter is that she is lazy. She chooses not to work so she is on welfare. That's right, there are states in this country where is is amazingly easy to get handouts.   The thing that is the most irritating is the fact that she complains about not having any money! Huh!? She wants it all, to be lazy, not work and buy everything she wants. She uses the not having money thing to get people to buy things for her too. She constantly fishes people and takes every possible opportunity that comes her way.   She has attempted to finish college 4 times now. She was one year or two semesters away from a...

People don't see each other anymore, not really. Have you ever noticed that? If you are out and you attempt to make eye contact, the person will simply ignore your efforts. Is it because they are so self- absorbed that they have no time for thoughts of anything other than themselves? Every once in a awhile, you will get a person to respond. I have even walked by people, looked them straight in the eye, said "excuse me ladies"' and had them completely ignore me!! I don't understand it! I challenge you to make eye contact with people the next time you are out. See how many respond to excuse me. It could be just where I live. I would be interested to see how people in different places react to the same thing.

Journey on Brave Soul! Journey on  through the shadows of light. Someday the canvas will wear. All will be revealed. Someday, I will be free The sun, wind, and rain will be my allies, breaking the canvas of my soul. Until then, I will take comfort in the sweet warmth of shadows, , Shadows of light. -AK Thu, 22 Sep 2005 04:22:46 +0200 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/pookie2001/Shadows-Of-Light/3/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/pookie2001/Shadows-Of-Light/3/   Hang in there girl! things will get better You got to believe!

Why can't I just accept the fact that I have no control over anything in my life? People always talk about how "It's your life" I got news for them. IT"S NOTTT!!   All of my "responsible actions are based on what's best for my family even if it means putting myself dead last. Sometimes when I come home from another 13 hour day, I just want to crawl up in the bed and not talk to a soul.Unfortunately, dinner has to be made, the kitchen needs to be cleaned up, my daughter needs a bath,ect..... Wouldn't it be great to just say, "Get a bowl of cereal damn it!!" Trust me I have been tempted. I feel guilty for having such thoughts. I feel selfish for having them. This last week has topped them all. In the span of... Wed, 21 Sep 2005 03:12:17 +0200 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/pookie2001/Enough-Is-Enough/1/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/pookie2001/Enough-Is-Enough/1/
