Re: confession session and good thoughts tuesday
Confession: I am not pleased by the person who signed up for Match.com with my email address. So not interested. And really, how dumb can you be that you give Match.com the wrong email address?
Good thoughts: to my friend who is expected her first child next month and just lost her mother, to everyone going through difficult times

I hate you very much
confession: I slept horribly last night. I had an awful vivid nightmare my brother had died, woke up and stayed awake for an hour from 3-4 full of anxiety, went back to sleep and the dream continued. It was horrible, I'm still disturbed evenafter talking to my brother this am.
I'm typing on my phone and the page won't scroll down so I can't see what I'm typing anymore.
Confession: I am upset they are trying to cut the WWPL funding by 40%. Alaina has taken so many wonderful classes there. She is currently enrolled in a preschool program which includes a Biomes class, 4 weeks of Audubon Society, Art and Music... this is on top of her storytime 1x week. I'm so sad. WWPL offers great programs for free, and it sucks that they may be cut.
Good Thoughts to all the pregnant ladies, people looking for work, people going through a tough time right now... and anyone else that needs 'em.
Confession: I think the lawsuit over the prayer at CHSW is such a waste of time, money, and resources. While part of me thinks the prayer should stay (it is actually a very nice sentiment), the other part just thinks they should cover it up to stop this nonsense.
Good thoughts: to Alicia that her back issues go away soon! To the mice in my attic, that they find a new suitable home soon before the exterminator is hired.
Confession: My sister is going through a lot right now, but I can't help buy be annoyed with her. I understand life doesn't revolve around me, but everytime something does (for instance my wedding and now the baby) she has to do something to bring it all back to her.
Good thoughts: To my sister who really does need them, and everyone else going through things as well.
Good Thoughts: to everyone going through difficulty at this time.
Confession: It's officially over. My sister has disconnected/changed her phone number. My dad is always crying over her. I'm so sick of her drama. Part of me is happy that I really don't have to deal with her, but in reality, she's my sister. How sad is that?
Confession: I had a GREAT time with all the mamas who joined me at Kite Tails this morning
Good thoughts to everyone who needs them .
Confession: I had a ton of fun at Kite Tails this morning too! Lily is in love with Angela!
Confession: I REALLY do not want to go back to work at the farm. I'm waiting for that long lost relative to die and leave me a bout load of money...It'll happen right?!
I love Lily too! She's so funny
Confession: I'm trying really, really hard to hang on at my office in the hopes that they'll be able to get me back on the books (I've been on unemployment since last year) but man, the signs are there. I don't think they can. I've put so much of my time and energy into helping them with the new company (original company filed bankruptcy, they formed a new one) and it's all for naught. They told me that they're now closing the office I work in so why am I still coming in and getting stressed out? I just snapped at one of our Realtors because he was nitpicking over a computer in his office and I wanted to punch him in the fuckingsac. I'm not an IT person, I'm the makeshift IT person because ours left. I'm doing the best I can but I have no support.
Meanwhile, I've sent my resume out to no fewer than 2 dozen places and haven't received a single email or phone call. I'm applying to jobs that are beneath me, nothing. Above me, nothing. Perfectly qualified for, nothing. And to boot, I can't work regular 9-5 hours because of the kids. We can't afford daycare and have no other options. The average salary out there is $12/hr, it wouldn't pay for me to put them in daycare for that amount of pay.
I'm stressed out beyond belief over this, can you tell???
Confession: despite how bad my back was yesterday, the pain is manageable today w/o meds, so I haven't called the doctor. I'm going to try some more stretching and see if that helps. Maybe (hopefully) I've turned a corner with this freak pain, and am on the mend?
Good Thoughts: To those who are pregnant, to those who are trying to conceive, to those adjusting to new babies at home, to those who are unemployed and looking for jobs, to those whose job security is uncertain, to those who are grieving, to those who are sick or hurting, or whose families and friends are in need of some extra ... GOOD THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FOR ALL WHO NEED THEM!
confession: when i am away from the house, i obsessively call the house to see if we have any messages. and i check my cell for missed calls/messages obsessively as well. the job i interviewed for last month is expected to make a decision this week and i'm so anxious. this job would seriously change my and my family's life.
confession: i sort of feel guilty hoping to get a new job when i already have a job considering there are so many here who are unemployed looking for a job. but, even though i am employed it is not the best of situations now. so, i need this new job.
good thoughts: to my husband's father and his siblings, who lost a brother this week; to everyone looking for a job; for everyone expecting a child, taking care of a child or children, and just good thoughts in general.
LOL! This is the BEST confession EVER! Sounds like something my youngest will do at some point... haha!
I have another confession. I have been reading the comments on Projo & wjar news about the lawsuit that the ACLU filed again Cranston regarding the CHSW school prayer. I am just disgusted about the comments directed towards the student. They are uncalled for. I know this girl. She is not "disgusting". She will not "burn in hell" (who are these people to decide?!). Her parents are not terrible people. What is wrong with people? I am so horrified by what these people are saying about her. She is just a kid, trying to fight for what she believes in. Do I agree with her? No. But it doesn't mean that I am going to call her names, or insult her because she doesn't have the same beliefs that I do. So sad.
The comments on the Projo in particular are always like that. And I have nothing further to say about it.

I hate you very much
ugh. On turntoten.com there were SUCH disgusting comments on a news story about a coworker being killed last week.
It was such a horrifying situation and some people have nothing better to do than to make comments out their as$es about crap.
that's terrible! they should disable the comment feature when it gets out of hand.
Good thoughts - to all of you. For everything. We all need a break I think, and we could all use things to go our way.
Confession: one of our friends is moving in with us for a while since he just got evicted on Friday. I will never turn anyone away, but I am starting a new job arrangement, I have 2 little kids, and my time from 8pm-midnight is my time. And now I have company. Every day. Ugh. I hope he finds a job soon and then can find an apartment soon too. Ugh.
Confession: Maddy is in her crib screaming. I can't take it. She won't sleep this afternoon. This is the 3rd nap attempt that has ended after 30 min of screaming. They both have colds, they are both miserable, my throat is killing me and I just want to clean my kitchen and dining room.
Confession: I am going to get Maddy b/c now I feel bad that she's in there crying.
Confession: Ben had McDonald's for lunch b/c I just couldn't deal today.
Confession: I'm in love with Stew Leonard's and wish there was one on my side of the bridge so I could go more often without paying the damn tolls.
Confession: I have way too much gray hair. I think I have to give in and find a place to color/highlight it professionally now. Sucks. That's not in the budget. But the box ones are not cutting it anymore.

good thoughts to everyone who needs them
good thoughts and *job dust* to my fellow job hunters. i know you are as sick of this sh!t as i am.
confession: i am officially addicted to angry birds. seriously, someone needs to take my iphone away.
confession: more than ever before, i fuckinghate the question "what do you do?" because after all these months of job hunting, it just makes me feel beyond defeated.
I'm with you on both of these fronts!!!
