  2. Truthful Tuesday

    - I am a funny person, who is very fun to be around, I’m tired of having nothing but sad and depressing crap to write about.

    - The book that means the most to me is The Little Prince. I read it when I was very young and it meant something to me and every time I reread it, it means something different.

    - I never ran away, my mom kicked me out when I was 17, does that count?

    - I’m going to make a pork tenderloin for dinner tonight, but I need a new recipe… I’m bored with mine. Anyone have a good one?

    - I need to use the laptop, but it’s in the car and that just seems really far right now.

    - I love Food Network, but Giada makes me wanna knock her perfect teeth out? Not sure why. I was very happy when Rachael Ray kicked her ass on Iron Chef.

    - Two more days of school, I’m excited to have my kids here with me. That could change after one week though.

    - Kindergarten graduation is Thursday, I will be bawling like a big baby… I can’t help it.

    - John will cry harder though! :0P

    - My whole situation with the massage therapist has me busting into random anxiety attacks, usually when I am alone and have way too much time to think. I’m thinking I may need therapy here soon.

    - I’m super hungry… I have a very odd craving for Chinese food. I wonder if ramen noodles will cure that?

  6. I’m gonna preface this by telling you guys I’m drunk…

    But Fuck that stupid ass massage therapist molester bastard! Fuck him 199 times over. I hate him and what he did to me. Fuck him. FUCK HIM!!! What is wrong with him? Fucking loser. I need some serious damage control here. Serious. I have tears and anger. That’s never a good combination. Hate is oozing out my ears and stuff. Damn this sucks.

  7. Firefly/Serenity Spoiler Alert!

    Don’t read this if you haven’t seen the movie!

    *****************************
    OMG I can’t believe that Wash died! I totally did not see that coming… I cried like a big damn baby too. I’m talking sobbing, it was pathetic. I love that River got her chance to kick ass though, it was sweet. Things wrapped up very nicely in the movie and I was quite impressed. I really wanted to see Mal and Inara hook up, but I kinda do love more how they just kind of left it open to the imagination. Kaylee and the doctor were adorable though… I don’t want to talk about the Shepherd! :0(

  8. Just finished watching the entire Firefly series and now we’re about to watch the movie… Very excited over here in Nerdville! The captain is quite adorable though.

  10. One More Thing…

    I should be getting off work today at 3 and heading over to my parents house for my nephew’s 2nd birthday party to meet my husband and kids, but instead I’m going home. I’m going to go home and call 911. And when the police get there, I have to file assault charges against my massage therapist for touching me inappropriately yesterday while he was massaging me. It makes me ill to say it or think it. I liked him, I liked him a whole lot. Why did he do that? Why did the doctor and everyone leave the building yesterday, leaving he and I alone in the building? When it happened I was alone and half naked on a table under a sheet. Vulnerable. Afraid to defend myself or speak up. I couldn’t talk or breath or move. I was in shock. I couldn’t believe one more shitty thing was fucking happening to me. Haven’t I had enough shitty things in my life? Why more, why now, why this? I wanted to throw up. I wanted to kill him with my bare hands. He violated me on level that he never should have, I trusted him. I left there and went and picked up my daughter. We went grocery shopping like nothing happened and I bought all the stuff to make dinner for our company that was supposed to come over that night like nothing was wrong. I checked out at the store and walked into the parking lot where reality was waiting for me. It hit me like a wrecking ball, I started crying and hyperventilating and my kid was confused. I went home and called John and he canceled with our friends. I called my chiropractor and told him what happened, he’s firing him and wants me to file the police report and a complaint with the massage license people, but the more I think about, the more I feel he has a part in this too. Why did he leave me alone in the building with him? Am I wrong in feeling this way? If I freaked out and defended myself and no one was there to help me, what then? He could have choked me with his bare hands if he wanted to, he’s a big guy. All I know is I’m pissed and every time I think about it, I feel sick and I feel stupid and it’s just one more thing in my life to cause me stress and anxiety that I feel I don’t deserve. What do I do now?

  11. So glad I checked in for this MRI at 11:00, so the chick before could keep moving around & they would have to keep re-doing hers.

  12. I have an MRI today which is going to take a really long time, because they have to do it without and then again with contrast… I will probably fall asleep, seeing as how I didn’t get any last night over the guilt of breaking my daughter’s butt (see prior blog). But the MRI is needed, my lower back is killing me again and my leg and foot keep going numb. I just hope I don’t need another back surgery, I think 2 is quite enough. You can see in the x-ray of my lower back here, that I already have 6 large screws, 2 thin rods aligning the screws, and a plate with 3 more screws. I don’t think I can handle another one! So here’s to hoping it’s nothing major.

  13. I hate spanking my kids! I hate it! But there are times as a parent, when I find it a neccessary evil. Now, before some of you go getting your panties all in a wad on me, I have never hit my kids. I spank on their bottoms and it’s a single swat. It’s more of an attention getter than anything. It says I am done fooling around here, you are not listening and are out of warnings, and you have pushed my last button. It takes a whole lot to get me/us to this point. Alex, who is now 14, can probably count on one hand, maybe two, how many times he was spanked in his life. Molly is even fewer. Tonight though, she pushed it way too far. She has been throwing a lot of fits lately when she doesn’t get her way and they’re starting to grate on my last nerve. So tonight when I told her to get her hair wet in the tub and she threw a fit, it made me mad. Then when I told her to pull the drain plug and she refused, it made me madder. And then again, when I told her to get out of the tub and she refused and threw another fit, I was done. I took her out of the tub and swatted her wet naked butt. This was NOT A GOOD IDEA. It hurt my hand, so I know it had to hurt her tiny butt… But I couldn’t cave right away after she had been such a brat in the tub. Ohh, she laid it on thick too, told me I broke her butt and it was probably bleeding… Why do I hate her… You know, the kind of stuff that makes you want to run right out and get your kid a pony. So then I had to explain to her that although I did intend to spank her, I did not mean for it to hurt so bad, but it was really time for these fits and her not listening to me to stop. She said she would try if I promised not to break her butt again and we pinky swore on it. So, the moral of the story is, don’t spank wet naked kids no matter how bratty they were in the tub. And when CPS is at our door tomorrow, you guys will tell them what really great parents we are… Right? Please… Come on!
