Finding my Happy Place (title added later)

, , , , , ,

Ugh. I can't stand it when you stay up late...hoping to sleep later in the morning...only to wake up at your normal time of 6 am! faint So anyway I was up late because now that have a teenager...she is going to hang out spots (a good one happy to say) and stays out late...so there I am picking her up late! And I was on the phone till after midnight with a friend of mine. It was so good to finally talk, uninterrupted (for the most part). At this moment I am looking around the house, scanning what needs to be done.
dishes
laundry
put things up

I know those are everyday things...but...it gets so irritating to have to deal with it EVERY BLOODY DAY! I get so sick of it! Everyday chores are a pain in the ass...uh go figure. I know this post is boring, actually more like a diary entry so feel free to ignore it. I still am in the process of getting the girls ready for school...have to buy all the supplies and clothes and shoes. I have bought some clothes for them already, wish they were attending one of the uniform schools. sad I could enroll them in the uniform school, but would have to drive extra each day. I wish gas was lower....uh...hmm.. I might do this anyway.....*thinking *thinking.

I googled my name yesterday and on the first page of 'images' was a picture of me and my girls. sad I thought that I had made that post private, but guess not. It is an old picture...but...

Anyway, before long I am sure that everyone will be able to find anyone on the internet...so I suppose I am just one that can be found more quickly.....lol. At least you know that I am not trying to run from the law or something! LMAO!

Um, I am bored already, so I have no clue what we are going to do today. Maybe go back out to my grandmothers to help with the house again. She is out of town with my uncle right now in Houston because of the flooding that affected her house. I wrote about it before...but yeah....FEMA came out and did an estimate...she received the check to get her floors replaced and the bedroom wall. Poor grammy has to put up with that at her age, I can't imagine.

So yeah.....that might be it. It has been (once again) cloudy and overcast here. I thought that all this cloudy weather would help on the electric bill, but no...one month it was 238 and the other 240. I almost have a feeling that they hear the words summer and then automatically up the damn bill by 100 dollars. Give me a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are so many levels of anger that I could go on the electric and gas companies....but finding my happy place........finding my happy place.......finding my happy place.......10..9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...deep breath. Ok found it.

Well I will stop for now before I think of more things to bitch about.

I'm watching my 14 year old niece so I can relate to being up late. And by the way, the repetitive chores, pretty much...yup,they suck. wink



KarenNerak Saturday, August 4, 2007 6:29:16 PM

I can totally relate to so much of what you said. A woman's work is never truly done, is it? Just when you think you've caught up, something else arises to remind you that your job is a 24/7 one. *sigh*

Hang in there - as I know you will. Just when things seems totally screwed up and you begin to wonder if it's all worth it, something happens to prove to you that all of your hard work, worries, & stress is more than worth the outcome. wink

By the way - I've Googled myself before, too, and was amazed at the results I got. eek From that point on, I refrained from using my last name on ANYTHING. Paranoia might destroy ya', but it'll also help keep you safe. p

Have a terrific day, Sarah. You've more than earned it...and hopefully those clouds will piss off so you can enjoy a nice & sunny day. cool

Your life sounds hectic Sarah.. It's good to vent now and again.. just try not to hit anyone.. Some people have lawyers better than your own.. irkedp

You do a lot of stuff every day,and it can get frustrating, so you have to vent sometimes. There are times when I just have to sit back, take some deep breaths, and think of pleasant things. Good to hear that your grammy is getting help with the flood damage. Sending peaceful, relaxing thoughts your way Sarah smile

I admire you being so open about everything...
I hate the everyday stuff too.. Sometimes it gets overwhelming..
You should hear me everyday, yelling at the kids to "SHUT THE DOOR!"
The flies are horrendous with the horses in the barnyard. The flies love to come indoors! And they fly in your face when you are trying to relax and watch TV!
& the bloody laundry...and the continuous vacuuming I do...ARGH! p yuck irked heart

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Wednesday, August 8, 2007 10:12:56 AM

Cheryl, I agree. And I love your array of emotions up above..the playful, to yuck to irked to heart...It describes my feelings to the T. It's like, we love our job and feel blessed but also need a rest from it...
