Hi/Lo.... (In Honor of RandyGal)

[jennaflower]

Okay... Ladies & Gents...

Since all of us are human (okay there might be a couple of questionable exceptions LOL), we all have days like RandyGal expressed in her thread.

So... here is your chance... VENT... as explicitly as necessary :) Tell us about your day... good & bad.... Maybe by sharing it here with everyone... those of us who have bad days can gain inspiration from those who have better ones... and visa versa :)


Today...

Columbus day :) That was the High for today... as an employee of my state.. I got a day off with Pay (No wonder I have a soft spot for sailors). The plan was... since my little one still had school.. I was gonna spend the day... enjoying ME... writting.. playing... pampering me... well.. like I said.. that was the plan. As we know... life happens when you have something else planned. Last night... some bug decided to turn my sons stomach into mush and late last night I found myself scrubing the rug and washing his blankets and sheets as his body decided to suddenly make the bug leave via his mouth (along with everything he ate for the previous 24 hours). EWWWWWWWWWWW.... needless to say... my mommie-free day suddenly came a "Mommie I need you day". LOL... oh well... it could have been worse.

I did however enjoy watching The Scorpion King for the first time with my son... :) Even the worst storm has a rainbow... Now if only I could figure out how to make the Rock mine.


So... your turn to vent. :)

Wish I'd looked ahead a little now, I already vented a bit on RG's thread...just wanted her to know that I have bad thoughts/days as well...the real challenge being to not take it out on the family...so far so good...

[2-4-tea]

Life is too short to sweat the little stuff and too busy to let the big stuff get to me. I refuse to ever let anyone get the best of me when they do I refuse to let it bother me in front of them

[RandyGal]

Jennaflower...what a sweet thing to do! Thanks!!!


My biggest problem with things that are going on right now is...

that I don't know if I WANT do struggle with it all anymore.

I think that I'm starting to actually want to give up...like all the shit just isn't worth it. :(

That's so scary to me...


And nahhhhhhhh I'm not suicidal, I just want to run away, and it seems and has seemed awfully appealing for a very long time now, and I can't seem to shake it.

Oh well....waddya gonna do? :)

[Lilith]

RG~ the las time I ran away I slip on the road, skinned my knee, fell in a ditch, and got covered in stickers.........er I was 6 but it is still the same. It may not be any better.........

What do you wanna run to???? Ya know what I am saying???..... instead of looking at what you don't want....decide what you do and put your energy into attracting those things into your life.


and Jenna~ I hate that damn "Mommy has 5 minutes to herself" bug. Never ever fails. ((hugs))

Ok....but don't forget....You Asked For It! LOL I don't have a particular bad DAY to vent about or whine about, but a whole series of events that have led me to where I am today. (And RG, please don't take this as a "Can you top this?" because I'm not trying to say my problems are/were worse than yours, although that may appear to be what I'm doing.)

Alright......A week before Christmas in 1998 we had a housefire (the second one for us in 11 yrs.). We lost a majority of our belongings and one beloved cat. We desperately needed to find a new home and it wasn't easy to find a place to rent that would let us have our remaining pets. We finally found what seemed to be a damn nice little place and the landlady seemed to be pretty decent to deal with. What we didn't know, and didn't learn till some time later is that she never listed her property with the city as a rental property. Over the 3 1/2 yrs we were there she managed to dodge the bldg inspectors more than a few times.

In the meantime, there were some problems in my marriage. Actually it was only one problem, and that's how and why I discovered Pixies. Here at Pixies I found acceptance, understanding, and friendship................and one very special friend, Murphy. I don't know where I'd be right now without him.
He has been a real blessing to me...in many ways and I thank God for him! :heart:

Murphy invited my husband and I to visit him and his family this past summer. Just before we left for this long awaited and very much needed vacation all hell broke loose at home. Because of a complaint about 2 non-running cars in our driveway, the city caught up with the landlady. There were building inspectors practically coming out of walls! She was ordered to make multiple improvements to bring the house up to code. Guess who paid the price for her getting found out? Yep....you got it! US!! She started by having workers from a hydraulics company she owns tow our cars onto the street so she could empty the garage of HER two dead cars and heaps of junk. Then she refused to tow them back to the driveway until we could junk them. We got tickets for "abandoning" the vehicles. While we were in MO we received a notice to appear in court for that. Naturally we didn't appear because we didn't know about it......so they upped the fine and suspended my husband's drivers license. THEN....any of our stuff that was in the garage was strewn about the yard and we had to clean that up and put what we wanted to keep behind the garage (extra $100 pr mo to use garage). When we got home from vacation, we found the tarp we had put over our stuff behind the garage was removed and everything was soaked because it had rained.
THEN..she has her "flunkies", as we came to call them, replacing the roof. She is so cheap, she won't supply them with decent equipment to do the job. No nail guns or stuff like that. So we have to listen to first all the noise of them removing the old shingles practically by hand, then hammering the new ones on. Meanwhile she found we had our gas and elec. on illegally and had them shut off. So we're in the dark, no hot water, and being "tormented" by her workers 12 hrs a day. While the power was off we had borrowed a generator so that we could at least have one lamp, the TV and of course the computers going. Well, the next door neighbor got pissed and complained to the police. They came out, and when they saw we had no heat or light, and all the stuff in the house that should have been in the garage they reported us to the building department. They came out the next day....the day before I was going to have the money to get the utilities restored.....and forcibly locked us out of the house because by city regs you must have 2 of the 3 of heat, elec, and water available or the house is considered unfit for human habitation. So now, there we are, on the street and have to spend $ we can't afford to spend two nights in a motel.
During all of this we have no use of our driveway because her flunkies need to use it. THEN they come on a SUNDAY MORNING with a rented jackhammer and start breaking up the driveway!!
It takes them the better part of a week to complete that. They take nearly a week to clear the busted concrete. Now, we have no driveway to use. One Sat. evening she showed up with another of her flunkies to drop of a cement roller for use with the new driveway. The next morning my husband discovers his tool box, which he could no longer keep in the garage and was too heavy to take in the house was GONE!!!! Thirty years of accumulating them, not to mention monitary value...all gone!!
And of course the bitch claimed to know nothing about it.
Then she serves us with an eviction notice. Her complaint was we were living without gas/elec. In the meantime, we've had the power restored and figure she has no grounds and the judge will rule in our favor. WRONG!!.......we were renting month to month and were informed that under those circumstances the owner can demand possession at any time.
So now we have to move.....IN 10 DAYS!!
We had decided that when my husband was eligible to retire, we would relocate to MO. But with this situation thrust upon us, we had to move and really didn't want to have to move twice in two years. So hubby is taking an early retirement in December. I couldn't find anywhere to stay with the cats nor could I find a local shelter to temporarily house them. The only place that would take them in was the Humane Society in Murphy's area. So to help me not have to give my cats away, Murphy and his wife have very graciously allowed me to bunk with them until hubby retires. So here I am 800+ miles away from my husband until December.
All the moving was left to hubby and sons...and with the time pressure, plus my job witholding my final pay for a week, leaving them broke back home they couldn't get a large enough storage locker and many of our belongings had to be left behind. And since I'm here I couldn't help choose what to leave. Plenty of my stuff got left behind. And no one seems to be able to tell me what they left...so I just have to wait until it's all moved out here.

There you have it.......there's more but I think I've babbled and blithered quite enough. I'm not trying to get anyone to feel sorry for me. I'm just venting....and venting......and venting and in my own way trying to say I understand, RG, how you would want to just disappear from you life as you know it. It's a tempting thought at times. I luv you, lady....hang in there, it HAS to get better!!

[dm383]

Hi Sugar;

I know you said you didn't write this to have anyone feel sorry for you... but I do honey, I do! What a truly horrible time you've had.
"Yay Murphy" I say !!

Hope things are starting to come together for you (and hubby) now, and that you haven't lost TOO much of your personal stuff.

I'm sure there are many here @ Pixies who know you MUCH better than I ~ but if you ever need a fresh view, PM or EM me any time.

Good Luck in the future....

DM

[RandyGal]

Sugarsprinkles, I'm sorry for all the rotten things you've been thru.

Life can sure toss rotten apples your way sometimes, huh?

It's never fun to deal with stuff in life that seems so out of control.

I hope the future is bright and *sprinkley* bright for you dearheart...




and jennaflower? Life with children is NEVER predicitable, is it? My mom always said just when you think all is well, your toddler will barf on your shoes! LOL She was so right......

[axe31]

When you left I lost my smile.
With out you here my laughter dies.
All alone the joy has fled .
Only left with a broken heart.
When you left I lost my smile.

i wrote this as a way to vent after
gary and i split up was theraputic

[jennaflower]

OH... SS... I sure hope you brought your extensive Vib collection with you... LOL... And hey... now that you have made it to the Ozarks... the only way is UP. ;)

Okay... since I started this thread... I feel compelled to share with you my latest experience... Be prepared to laugh...


Last night... in preperation for my massage today... my legs needed to be shaved deperately. Normally... I use a razor.. but being lazy... I decided to give the new NAIR (Apple) a try. Well... All was going well... my calfs were covered nicely... moved up to my thighs.. covered them just fine... and then decided.. what the hell.. I would go ahead and go "around" my bush...

Can you say MISTAKE Boys & Girls????

Almost instantly... a burning sensation began... in the crease.. where your thigh meets your groin.... okay... as if that isn't bad enough... I jump in the shower... rinse it off... then apply my soap... (Masengil gel soap thinking that it will be gentle)

Can you say MISTAKE AGAIN Boys & Girls?

Yep.. you guessed it.. BURNED so bad.. I had to grab onto the tile walls... (haven't had to do that since having sex in the shower sooo long ago I can't hardly remember)... so then.. I finally move out of the shower... and the burning is still there... so I figure I need to put something on it.. to calm the nerves down... so I reach for the powder....

Can you say MISTAKE AGAIN Boys & Girls????

YEP... THAT F&*(^&^(*^(&*^ crap burned... like fire.... I now have f^*^*&^* blisters :(

Now .... that is a bad day. LOL

[RandyGal]

Can everyone repeat after me please???


"jennaflower is hot hot HOT! she's so hot she BLISTERS!"




I suppose that isn't funny...sorry...and sorry you got burned.

Next time don't PUT THE STUFF DOWN THERE for HEAVEN SAKES!!!!! :eek:


(p.s. i suppose you'll be in pain when you walk tomorrow...yeowch! SORRY!!)

[Wildeye]

Bad day - good day?

I remember walking in the mountains and it was raining, it was raining in buckets in the height of summer and I met this sweet lady, I was about to say "Shit weather, fucking ruined my vacation..etc" and she smiles and says "Good weather for this time of year" Her smile kinda changed my view. But that kinda story does not help when your down. the things that make it a good day - my kids doing their stuff, reading a book, posting a letter, texting my friends with lines from songs, drinking tea with my wife in the evening, getting it on with my wife..that's always a good day.

Randygal - keep being randy.

and a gal!
