go figure

now i cant sleep...an hour ago i was ready to go to bed with little problem..and now im not as tired anymore..watched the last half of a movie and did some stuff around the house and i guess it woke me up some...im still tired but ok..lol not a big deal at all and when im done with this ill prolly just watch ratatouille and fall asleep anyway..nia eventually asked if i wanted to go out with her and her bf and i said no because then i would have just been the tag along and it wouldnt have been a lot of fun for me because i would have just felt like i was in the way..and its been forever ince ive been around her friends and im not in a hang out mood..so im home alone and tonight its not sure a big deal and im enjoying the quietness..not like the other night at all..

still a couple ohurs till midnight and already the internet is just plastered with ads about losing weight and how to get the perfect body and what to do to lose weight and all this stuff and it makes me want to just scream..as if i dont have enough stuff to worry about i get suckered into reading all these articles i really dont care about at all and just click because i have alittle obsession with losing weight that comes and goes but for now its fairly present in my mind..and im not into big time obsessing just yet but i know its just hanging out on the edges of my mind...and im really trying not to start b/p'ing again..i keep telling myself itt hurts and its a waste..but for what its worth im slowly lowering what and how much im eating..because its pretty obviouus i havent been doing the best with keeping track of it..and i hate saying i didnt care but i really didnt..and saying i care now is pushing it..its more like i just need somewhere to focus my extra attention for a while...and im even making it reasonably managable and just making outrageous goals for the heck of it and watching as i fail ..as if i need something else to yell at myself about..the part of me that just hates eating and food and all that is having a field day right about now...and given today is new years eve i didnt eat as much as i thought i would and stuck fairly decently to what i had planned with some extra stuff thrown in..but not horrible and im not going to be a spazz and start writing down everything i eat here..i have a food journal..one of my older ones and im kinda attached to it..and i kinda like what i have in it..so i just started adding to it again..just have to keep track of it and make sure i dont leave it laying around anywhere..im sure someone else would not be pleased with whats in it..but whatever..its mine..and i say that until someone else sees it and then ill just be in a heck of a lot of trouble..but i got an email a couple weeks ago from a ed group i was in for a good while..and i had completely forgotten about both of those groups.but when i got the email i remembered all the girls i talked to and that i missed them and wondered how they were doing..and it took a couple weeks to get up the nerve to go and check the group out and its like holy cow ive missed the girls i knew..not really getting into the background of the group..i wonder why it is i went back..i didnt have to and i certainly took my time but i still went back..i keep thinking there is some reason behind but im reaally being careful to stay out of the ana/mia boards...i just check the more general stuff for now but still i was welcomed back all the same..and it was nice

hmmm that aside...new years resoultions..ive been thinking about if i should make some and of course i did lol..duh..tried to make them easier and more to the point i guess..no point in making them if im just doing it tosay i did..that would kinda be besides the point...so my resloutions are
- Work on my diet and develop a healthier lifestyle

- Set up a time line for getting back into therapy

- find an outdoors activity to do in free time (on weekends)

- Join a group to meet new people/ take a class on something that interests me

-to be happier

dont know yet how to even work on the last one but i figured i should add it in anyway..didnt really work out last year but maybe it will this time around..so now i can stop stressing about having new years resolutions..i wonder who even started that whole thing..

tomorrow is the first day of 08..i really wonder what the year will bring..i wonder what will happen..how ill handle things and i guess the big one is if ill be ok..i hope i will be..and i know the longer im at home the more managable it will get...but still the stress of being here is hard to deal with..it feels like ill never be able to be stable becuase of just everything..bouncing around from mood to mood..first thing of course and more important is finding a job so i can get out of the house..

oh well
guess im dont rambling

2007

1. Describe the best day of 2007.

- my week in key west just flat out rocked and i remember most of it. sure it was spent in a drunken haze but i rememeber it..and ill always remember jim looked out for me even surrounded by bunches of gay guys in all the gay bars :)..and that all the drag queens knew my name after a couple days ..and all the scandalous pictures lol

- and going to cumberland island was a lot of fun and it was the best group trip ever..and i got to see the sunrise on the ocean and see all the wild horses and i had to keep reminding myself i couldnt have one! and hunting for seashells :)


2. Describe the worst day of 2007.

- when granny died

- the meeting at my job

3. Are you happier now than you were last year at this time.

- no idea really..different set of stresses this time last year and i had to go back and reread my blog a bit to even remember what they were! i dont know if im happy


4. How is your mental health now compared to 3 years ago? 5 years ago?

- some better i guess..not really sure though..god what was i even doing five years ago?! im pretty sure i was in college and having a hard time of things five years ago..so i guess im a bit better now than i was then

5. What was the biggest life lesson you learned this year?

- hmm i learned life goes on whether you want it to or not ..and trying to go away doesnt help at all..because eventually you have to come back and everything is still there waiting ..

6. What was the biggest change you saw in yourself this year?

- i dont know..maybe im not as naive about the world anymore..things arent always going to be great just because i want them to be..

- ive grown up some...i managed a niight of being around a bunch of ppl skinnydipping without dying of embarrasment..i wasnt looking but i stayed lol

7. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the best, rate 2007.

- 5 ...some good stuff..some bad stuff

8. Tell us about someone new and important that came into your life this year.

n/a

9. Did you take any special trips this year? If so, what was the most significant one?

- i went to charleston sc as a graduation present with a friend and it was a lot of fun.. i would like to go back again..and of course the IMAX rocked big time !

- key west fla and cumberland island

10. Do you think 2008 will be better or worse?

- it has to be better...i want it to be better..but that is going to take a lot of work from me too...ill have to keep reminding myself of that..

another day..rantish mood

its really a miserable day outside..i think im forgetting what the sun looks like i havent seen it in so long..geez normally im not big on saying the weather effects my mood but after 4 days of rain and greyness im not so sure...when i woke up this morning and it was raining i wasnt enjoying it much..but now its not raining but it is just gray and overcast and ick..oh well i know its supposed to be cold and all but its raining and it feels like its 70 degrees outside! getting a big headache...stuck doing laundry at this minute and when i got up this morning and started sorting the laundry it just really bothered me...not that i was doing it but that i was doing it without being asked because it needed to be done..i hate how easy it is to slip into mother mode and start cleaning or cooking dinner or doing laundry and not really realizing whats behind it..because im certainly not doing it because i want to! i hate cleaning and i do it without really thinking about it because thats what i know im supposed to do..i know if i left it till the last minute mommy may come home early or something and then there will be hell to pay for not doing it in the first place..shes out of town and yet i still think she can just pop up at any moment and start yelling about how lazy and stupid i am for not cleaning when i knew it had to be done..the day she comes home im sure ill be making sure everything is done and put away..sigh maybe when i get home ill lay down for a while..tired all of a sudden and i know i slept last night after a while..gotta find some old magazines so i can work on a collage tonight..it will keep me busy at least ! since i know it will take a little while to get a hold of all the pictures i want to use i can go to the store another day..besides just looking for pictures means i have to focus hard enough and these days it takes a lot to keep my focus on anything!

hmm i watched a video on youtube today about the secret thing and im not sure yet what i think about it..i want to just say it cant be that easy but part of me wonders..i mean no im not a pessimist or anything but im not always so positive about stuff and it would take more than just 20 mins of a video to change my mind about anything..but parts of it got my attention at least..ill have to look at it more and of course think about it for a good while before i can figure it out..maybe i should check out the book too since i work better when im reading something..

i finished my book this morning and the ending calmed my nerves more than the first part of it..i knew what i was getting into when i bought the book..well kinda..i guessed that i knew and well i was right but it still caught me off guard..it was a bad idea reading so much of it last night but then it was one of those books i couldnt just put down after i started..not withstanding that the topic of the entire book was the effects of sexual abuse on everyone involved and then even those not involved directly..it is interesting how ppl try to place the blame on the obvious ones but when that doesnt work they blame the kid and after that the closet friends are blamed because they should have picked up on it ..blah blah blah same old circle of accusations and disbelieve..no one wants to think about how often it happens but good grief ppl get away with hurting kids all the time and every one says they care and something should be done but what exactly are ppl doing to make it better? no im not saying im doing my part either..and i have very big reasons for not considering a job at dss working with kids and abuse cases because it scares me for one but more than that..i dont forgive easily at all and i dont think kids should be taken from parents who really hurt them on purpose or otherwise and then put back in the same house because the courts dont want to place the kid with another family..it doesnt take a genius to know that if it happens once it will happen again, i dont care how much help the person had..no it wouldnt be a good idea at all for me to work with that right now..i cant even keep myself from being suicidal anymore id rather not make it any worse...and the other thing that really pisses me off is that parents do all of these things to kids and get put in jail sometimes and then they are beat up and stuff in jail because somehow other inmates find out how everyone gets in and well ppl who abuse kids are way at the bottom of the list..-ok breathe-but then they do the stupidest thing ever by killing themselves without so much as an apology or the reasons behind what they did and i think that is a serious cop out...it really bothers me that they think thats the way to get out of taking responsibility for what they did and then the kid still suffers for various reasons..but in the book that i read though the mother counted her getting beat up in jail as pay back for what she did and let happen to her son..shocking i know but i also thought it was really stupid that any one would even think like that..its not about who gets hurt more because the after effects dont change..but ugh the whole thing just isnt fair in some huge way that i cant explain just yet..still have to live with all the thoughts and guilt and shame and whatever else has to be thrown into the mix..
its just really disappointing you know..being able to be so happy one day and so miserable the next..like there really isnt anything to be happy over so why bother when it can go away so fast

freaking out some

for some reason tonight im just freaking out..its been forever since ive been in this house all alone and its making me paranoid big time...its so quiet with just me and i think its just worse because this stupid house is so big..even dusti is being good and quiet tonight..why tonight?! ugh..i feel like im waiting for the boogeyman to jump out from underneath the bed or something..i want to sleep but im just a tad bit to worked up to relax right now ..and i know henry isnt coming back tonight and im not sure when wayne is coming back and i havent seen all week becuase she is with her bf..and so im just alone and having mommy call 5 times a day to make sure im ok hasnt helped at all..why wouldnt i be ok and what exactly does she think im doing or planning on doing ?? i dont go anywhere and i dont do anything but after talking to her i wonder if im supposed to be out robbing banks or something..i know this stupid house like the back of my hand and yet tonight im almost scared out of my mind for no real reason..if i wasnt so nervous i would be laughing at myself right now..its almost pathetically childish..this is what i get for reading so much of that book..now im agitated and thinking of a million things and wishing i wasnt feeling so alone right now...that and today as i was by myself earlier i was thinking about how to meet ppl and i seriously lack in the making friends department and i say now i want to meet ppl but ill change my mind and not go out with anyone or talk to anyone and ill still be by myself..guess a bit jealous that nia has been spending all this time with her bf and im stuck at home..i spend a lot of time being jealous..yea im awfully pathetic

fun times..

to complete last nights tales..i so super glued my fingers together ! talk about the wrong time to decide to be productive!! i was trying to fix a picture frame ..was squeezing the tube of super glue to hard and i couldnt figure where it was coming from and kept squeezing it more ..and well only i can super glue my fingers together and glue a finger to the super glue tube at the same time ..i had to use fingernail polish remover to try and get it off but of course theres almost nothing in the bottle!!! and dry super glue is an awfully weird feeling! i still have some on my fingers that im just letting come off on its on..picking at it does nothing lol

a lot calmer today..but still in an ok mood..really trying to hold on to it because its been so long..and i think it helps that its quieter at home and not as stressful with mommy out of town..and i feel guilty just saying that..but anyhoo not much on our agenda today..have to go and feed the dog at dees house and will prolly hang out there some today and then come home later this afternoon. went shopping yesterday and got a new radio and picture frames (hence the super glue incident lol) and a new scale... but not getting into that just yet..been thinking a lot about new years and resolutions and what not...really want to put some effort into picking some or making some..but i cant figure any out for now..but thinking about them...been zoning out big time while driving and i dont know whats causing it..its just suddenly im not there anymore because what im thinking about is completely taking over..and only when i realize im about to run into the back of someones car or that im seriously speeding do i 'come back' i guess..dont know..happened a couple times the other day on the way home..

lalala

hmmm today has been an okay day after the am wakeup call..and well finding out i will have to take my car to the dealer place to see about getting it fixed..hung out for a while at dees house and then left to go and do some shopping and ended up at the movie theater..i went to see the golden compass..FINALLY after waiting and waiting and waiting and being patient i went to see it lol..and it was good right up until the end and then it sucked..ugh they killed the ending of the movie and i know this only because ive read all three of the books already! gosh it was a disappointed moment when it ended and half the movie ppl were like is that it? they left out the key thing at the end of the book...rats i need to make my own movie based on some random book and get it correct...it was a bit hard sitting in the movie and not comparing it to the book and i knew everything they left out and everything that was in the wrong order and things that were told to soon in the movie and so on..but still really liked the movie and because of the movie ive decided it will be a great thing to make a few new goals ..

-clears throat-

1) i must ride a polar bear
2) i have got to learn to fly
3) i have got to perfect my uh archery skills lol
4) gotta get a truth reader

oh and for things unrelated to the movie i just watched

1) ive got to find neverland (and i already know how to get there!)
2) become president..thats always a fun goal
3)take over the world (ok fine save the world) same thing :)


gotta love sitting in the movie and just not being able to get off the fact that it looks like major fun to ride a polar bear for no other reason than to see if its as much fun as it looks

and im done..now all i have to do is calm down before i start bouncing off of walls

stupid lack of memories

hmm today i was having a chat with a friend and was asked what would happen if i stood up to mommy pretty much..and it wasnt that the question needed some huge explaination or anything and im not even sure i gave one but suddenly i just knew i had been asked that questions before..maybe not in the same exact words but more or less the same question..and more than once to and i couldnt answer it any of those times either...its really confusing because i already know mommy wouldnt dare throw me out or anything because i help to much..so what would happen then?? and why is it that i cant even think about the question without freaking out and shutting down...i cant figure out what it is about it that makes me so nervous and throws me off..and its probably the easiest thing to figure out in the world but ive blocked whatever it is out so well i cant find out anymore..i cant get past the surface stuff really and its harder trying to go any deeper when i have many other empty spots in my head already...just confuses me more...

mommy is out of town and so is dee and everyone..and im hanging out at her house for right now and i think im going to go to a movie later and out to run a few errands and stuff...mommy actually called me at 5:30 this morning for no other reason than to wake me up because i was supposed to be going to get my car worked on..i had already had my alarm set and everything and i wasnt supposed to be up that early but she called and scared the crap out of me and then i was just up..and now im getting tired again and its a pain..funny how she is out of town but still im stuck running all of her errands too...but still it will be a quiet few days at least until she gets back into town and then ill have to find a way to disappear...

hopefully i get a call about the job but if not ill have to try not to worry and just wait and see since it is new years weekend and ppl are just busy and stuff..and then the subsequent refusual to go to therapy may come up again in the next couple weeks with the job and all the unexplained scars..its really worrying me and i could almost forget about them and then something like this happens and i have to go have a check up and suddenly i have to explain or not explain why it is i have scars going every which way on my arms and legs...cant blame them on dusti if you are standing right in front of me and looking at them...yea dusti has scratched me before but come on give her some credit here..she would repeatedly claw my upper arms for any reason and anyone dumb enough to think so doesnt need to be a doctor...but mommy does like blaming dusti for some of the more visible ones :( and we both know she didnt do them...but i guess as long as im not bleeding to death while im at home my little problem isnt a problem...so i have to last a bit longer with no cutting...funny how once i know i cant do it for a serious reason i want to do it all the more..ugh..

Thursday, December 27, 2007

well i finished an application ...kinda feel accomplished now but i dont know..kinda nervous because of course i have to get another psychical if i get the job and thats a whole nother issue all by its self..i wonder if its possible to say ill freeze to death if i get undressed ... but ill have to figure that out when i find out if i have the job or not...but i guess i should file out a couple more applications just incase i dont...

im ready for mommy to go out of town and thats about all on that subject

my car is deciding not to work now and of course it would happen after i dont have a job anymore and cant really afford fixing anything on it...it sucks royally and im just hoping it doesnt stop working completely before i manage to get it in somewhere to have it looked at..and thats after all the other stuff i have to get done to it and now one of the headlights are out and the stupid turn signal isnt working and my car is just kinda falling apart right now...really worried about all of that..

another cool picture





this is my favorite picture that i took while we were at cumberland island...its a sunrise and i juts happened to be awake and went to watch it on the beach and get some time alone ..it was one of the most relaxing times i had on that trip not that it was overly stressful but still...im thinking about making an album of all of my fav scenic shots and getting them printed out to keep...i wonder if one day i could maybe sell some of them? dont know but its just a thought...for now ill just work on collecting them

christmas

so its christmas and i think for us the day is pretty much over now...we did the gift thing this morning and i got a new camera which i knew about anyway because i asked for a new one..and i got clothes and the usual new undies! umm then we got some new books and some paint and some pj bottoms...did the customary thank yous and really we do like our new things and i have a fav shirt out of the bunch and its a dressier one but as soon as i opened it mommy started in on my weight and saying how it was the wrong size now and everything...kinda hurt a lot but i didnt respond and i tried it on later and it fits fine ..and then it was funny trying to get into the camera package because i swear they use the hardest plastic they can find to wrap them in and then there are no openings to get into it!! i ended up asking my brother and he couldnt do it so i used his keys until i got a hole in it and just pulled on it until it opened and it still took forever ..went to my aunts for dinner and stayed for a couple hours..it was overwhelming some but managed ok..took pictures and spent some time outside with my brother and the guys of the family because henry got a new car for christmas and it is taking all of my control not to be jealous over it..because it is a really really nice car and i keep thinking of all i have to fix on my car and it just ugh for a while..but i dont like the look of his car but still its a new car and im rambling...but yea he got a car for christmas as his big thing..the camera was my big thing..and my sister got money orders to go to the driving school so she can get her license..and my other brother got money for something...and now im tired and getting a big headache! watched a comedy show this morning and it was funny but not really my thing because of some of the things they were joking about but it was alright...not a lot of arguing today with mommy so that was good at least and i hope it stays that way..played the new scene it game we got and well we really suck at it lol..but it was fun arguing over it with all of my brothers and sister for a while this morning at least..and mommy liked our gifts to her so that was good too..

she mentioned today that i should apply for unemployment..and i hadnt even considered it but i guess i should..although i dont know the first thing about filing for it until i have another job..yea the money would help but doing things like that worry me ...i know its there to help ppl who need it but i dont know i guess i just feel guilty having to get it or being able to get it when there are ppl a lot worse off than i am...guess i can complain though since i really do need the extra money until i can get a job..but i guess ill think about it for a couple days and figure out what i want to do...i really have to put some effort into finding a job though..

borrowing nias internet and finally am able to get online with my comp..i dont mind her comp or anything but mine is mine and i have missed it!! i seriously think i was going to have a ff meltdown i was missing my usual time wasting habits so much..but at least i updated my comp and got to check on some stuff since im sure it wont be happening again anytime soon..

cant say im not happy about the weekend because mommy is going out of town for a few days..its like instant freedom for a while..

mixed up ramble

things are not feeling as hopeless and upsetting anymore..i have to admit writing did help this morning although i really just wanted to cut by the time i had really thought about everything..and it just so happened i wasnt at home or anything and i couldnt do it...but still a lot a been on my mind today ...thinking about everything and being home and money and finding a job and doing something so im not stuck at home..and well just lots of stuff..no answers for anything and that sucks all the more...im getting some paint stuff for christmas and there are enough magazines laying around that maybe i could work on some collages here..maybe it will help some..it helps me focus.. cant hurt and i have to put at least some effort into trying ... and then i can cut later and not feel so guilty....went and saw national treasure 2 tonight and it seriously was a great movie..it had my attention the entire time and we liked it a lot..still cant really believe christmas eve is tomorrow..and my niece is staying with us for the night and ive already been told ill have to be up and awake in the morning to watch her after mommy leaves for work..you know i would love to be asked these things before its just assumed ill do it because im here...but anyway im doing that in the morning and then tonight one of the headlights went out on my car and one of my signals is all weird and not working and it makes me paranoid driving without a blinker and what little exrta money i had will now have to go in my car..i mean i like my car and would hate for it to break down because im a dork and wont pay to get it fixed..and im thinking of the huge crack in my windshield i have to replace sometime soon and all the other little stuff i have to get worked on in my car and then think about my pathetically empty bankaccount and wonder where im going to get that money from...which brings me to finding a job and i dont really want to think about that right now ..but bills have to be paid regardless of a job or not ..so ill have to find one and ill have to put more effort into looking after christmas...some other relatives are coming tomorrow to stay with us and im nervous already..more so after the morning we had but still nervous and not wanting anyone else to be here because its hard enough with just mommy..had a headache all day..all i want to do is go to bed but them i walk in the door and mommy has things for me to help with...same as usual
today is really turning into a stressful day...not feeling to happy right now..maybe i stayed in bed to long this morning or something or maybe mommy just hadnt yelled at me enough in a couple days no idea but today it was like being yelled at for everything...kinda sucks to once again realize im only as important as how much money i can make and then give to her...she wont let me forget how much she spent to get the moving van and everything to move me back when i wanted to wait until after i had already been at home for a while and could have gotten some extra money..no she wanted to do it her way and so we did and yes she spent a lot of money and i know how much i have to pay her back but she keeps throwing it around what she did for me and im not paying her back fast enough and its like give me a break..im working as much as i can babysitting and all of my extra money has to go to a million different thing and im trying to pay her back i am but i cant just give her my entire last paycheck and then hope no one else gets to mad at not being paid...thats not fair and then i end up feeling guilty for not giving her more than i already did but knowing i dont have the money to do it.. she is constantly asking what ive made or how many ours i have babysitting..she knew what my paychecks were and what my last one was and keeps telling me how much money i should have and not what i do have..god forbid i actually needed to go and by something at the store or whatever..but no it doesnt really matter because the only important thing is that i pay her back and it doesnt matter what else doesnt get paid...why should i have to explain my bank account to her? if im back at home now why should i need to borrow money?? if i cant afford it then i know not to buy it but then she is always asking me to pay for stuff for her and that she will pay me back..well how is it that i have to pay her back and never hear the end of it but then she doesnt have to pay me back in a timely manner ..i dont see the fairness in that at all and it just makes it worse that she brought up how much she gave me for my christmas gift this morning..real good way to let me know she wanted to spend that much on me ..and i thought i asked for a reasonable amount for a digital camera but now if she is just going to use it against me then i dont want it..she asked for my refund thing from the electric company but i cant give it to her because i have to finish paying the stupid phone bill thanks to henry running it up..no matter how much i complained about it and asked her to take him off it was never the right time and now that my bill is over 200 dollars and most of it doesnt even apply to my phone im still the one who has to pay it and now henry has a new phone that i still had to help him pay for and mommy was supposed to pay me back and yet she only gave me part of it but then that didnt come up when she was yelling at me this morning about money..all of it just sucks right now and i did wake up in an ok mood but now im just incredibly pissed off about everything..i had to go and change what i was wearing this morning because i walked downstairs in a tshirt and well my arms have a good number of bug bites on them and she told me she hoped i was wearing long sleeves...last time i checked no one cared that much what i was wearing or not wearing but suddenly i have bug bites that ive scratched and everyone cares so much and so i have to keep my arms covered up because they make mommy uncomfortable..for as much as im supposed to be confident in myself i dont think its working out like that..because even if i was ok with everything this morning now im back to being paranoid about something that wasnt even wrong in the first place..because while i was on the island i did wear bug spray and i still got bitten by whatever it was biting all of us and then i scratched and i knew mommy would say something but i didnt think she would pretty much ban me from wearing short sleeves until the bites faded..how is it that she can be ashamed of something that had nothing to do with her and then in turn make me more ashamed than i already was?? and i wonder why it is i cant even handle talking about cutting or anything with anyone else..well duh im not allowed to talk about it im not allowed to do anything but swear i havent done it again and so it has disappeared..yep ive stopped and ill stay stopped right up until i manage to kill myself and then i guess everyone will have to figure it out for themselves..im not crying for help becasue i dont need help and i dont want help...i learned to lie about it from the start and nothing seems to have changed since then

same old excitement

and now with christmas eve being tomorrow the same old excitement about christmas is coming back..im still ready for it to be over and done with but im still happy its christmas and it makes it better that i know some of what im getting and hjust have to be patient and wait until i actually get it! i was good and picked out a nice camera for myself yesterday and then asked if i could have it then instead of waiting and mommy was ok with it until i mentioned opening it lol...now i have to wait until christmas...

as usual ive been spending most of my free time over at dee's house..funny how they all want me there all the time just to be there and not even doing anything..im not complining because i really do need the extra money and mostly i do love being over there but it is tiring too..its like having a job without having a job..i get paid but i dont losoe taxes and thats nice of course..but i can make my whole talisman paycheck in two weekends with dee...its crazy!! and i was there last night and ill prolly be there most of today and tonight and still again tomorrow...today dee already asked if i would do some last minute shopping for her and im excited about that..sometimes i really do love shopping and sometimes it just drives me crazy..but today i want to shop...im looking forward to it actually..the traffic in wilmington sucks though..

nia and henry are busy to going out with friends and stuff and i try not to be jealous but i am a little because i dont know anyone here anymore..im not the best at making new friends and then spending so much time babysitting doesnt help my case at all...normally i dont mind but sometimes like now i do and its a pain..

christmas and stuff

its really hard to believe christmas is next week!! its been a cold and rainy day here and ive been out running around all day long with henry and wayne...after taking nia to work and then mommy had me go and get some stuff for her and help henry get a new phone and everything and it was just abig hassle and today i just wasnt feeling to good at all and didnt want to go anywhere and ended up staying out all morning and then some because we had to go and pick up nia from work early because she wa sick and passed out...and by the early afternoon i was just starting to get really annoyed and didnt want to be out anymore and just kinda stopped being as talkative and thats saying a lot since i dont really talk anyway...but made it back home..i had to go to the store and pick up some stuff for me and that was ok..

i asked for a new camera for christmas and then my usual books and movies ..i was in walmart today and saw a paint set that i really wanted since all of my paint is now packed away in storage and i cant get to it..ill have to see who i can talk into getting it for me or give up some money and help them get it for me..who knows...and im going to pick out my own camera tomorrow..we are going shopping tomorrow and im hoping i feel better..and then i had forgotten that mommy was going out of town on the 28th i think and that will be a few days of peace and quiet..except i am like the other mom around here and i try hard not to be but i dont do so good at stopping itand it just kinda comes out..i hate that..i dont want to be the parent and yet that seems to be my role..im the one running around making sure everyone is doing and getting what they need to get done done..and it doesnt matter if i want to do it or not because someone has to be in charge i suppose and it just falls on me..why do i have to be so responsible without being responsible?? i dont want it at all! ugh and now i cant seem to get rid of it..they were calling me mommy earlier and it just kinda sucked...really not in the best of moods right now and feeling completely gross and stupid for ending up binging and then not purging at all..feel way to full right now and the whole no privacy thing really sucks..guess the bad part is i would purge given the chance and not think twice about it..maybe feeling so tired right now is making me feel even more not good..im getting tired of all the running around and doing everything and i know i said i wasnt going to be complaining but today was a bit much..henry and wayne have just been really loud today and it puts me on edge and not being able to really get away and have time alone is making it harder to deal with things..next week i have got to get away and do something for myself or i will go insane..i cant get any peace and quiet here..everyone is to loud and then all the yelling and arguing from mommy doesnt help

dont much feel like writing about me or anything going on at home today...so ill write about other stuff

today has been an interesting day..i was asked yesterday if i would come in early and do some christmas shopping for dee for the family she adopted for the holidays..i like shopping of course and i like it even more when i can get bunches of stuff and its not for me and im not spending any money!! so i go over and get the list and there are 3 kids im pretty much shopping for and riley decides he wants to come with me and thats fine because i like shopping with him...so we go to walmart first and we are looking for a nintendo ds system..we go to the back and there are 2 left but some lady is there and talking on the phone and she just tells the sales guy she will take two of them..well riley and i think she is talking about the actual games and not the systems but boy were we wrong lol..she took the last two systems in the store!!!and riley and i are just like crud do we have bad timing or what!! so we get some other stuff..dolls and a board game at walmart and then go to a different store..we hit game stop (two of them) and no ds's...we go to target and they only had black ones and we were looking for a pink one..so we leave and go somewhere else...we finally find a red one at best buy and grab it before someone else could because there are only two there lol..and as we are in best buy im walking past a bin of games and find the monopoly game we were looking for for game boy advance..we had to go and get some john deere toys but had to leave them because they didnt accept the credit card i was taking around and so we had to go and get cash from dee's store and go back out to finish getting stuff..but we found everything they were asking for and it was less money than i thought it would be but still we spent a huge amount of money in my book! prolly cas i dont have any lol..but it was fun...and tiring! you know i wish i had a credit card that had no limit on it!! i wish i could just go shopping and get everything i wanted and not have to worry about how i was going to pay the bill..

and now i havent even considered what im getting anyone for christmas..because nia and i always go out shopping together and our schedules are just not working out so hot right now so im waiting to see what happens..if i get paid babysitting money tonight i may go shopping tomorrow...and nia was nice enough to give me some gas money for taking her back and forth to work all week...riley and harris are going hunting tomorrow for the weekend so my babysitting time is over after tonight i guess..maybe for a bit on monday but i dont know yet...other than that i dont think ill be getting any other extra money in at all..

kinda been working on my resume..at least i have it in my email now and i can work on it and print it out and start filling out applications for a new job and see what happens..

right im not supposed to complain..its taking a lot to get used to being at home and e verything is just kinda thrown off..its become my job i suppose to make sure my sister gets to work every morning and evening..and getting her there and back is a hassle because of all the traffic and i hate driving in traffic because i sstill get nervous..but that has become my job..waking up early and then waking her up is a pain ...

mommy is of course pushing hard for me to get a job as fast as possible..she is already bringing home the classifieds and everything and telling me what i hsould be doing ..i havvent even managed to get my resume off of my own computer yet and i cant really do anything until that s taken care of..im not sure whwere i want to work or what i want to do..im not even sure how to upgrade my resume yet..i know the job ive done for the past year but its hard writing it on a resume and summing it all up..that i was going to try to do today and then you know go to dees house and print off copies and print off some applications and things so i can start applying..i thought i would be able to get a break being at home even for a couple weeks but it seems im just as busy here..
but in other news..although im not sure how far ill manage because theres not much happiness going around inside right now..umm i went and visited one of my old teachers and talked about life and such..with only a little bit of therapy involved and nothing to big either lol but itwas a nice visit and im glad she was ablee to see me...talk about saving my sanity! she talked to me about going into the msw program and i told her i would look into it...

kinda sucks not having my comp hooked up because now we cant chat anymore and cant really get into anything anymore...im not even sure i remember what my aol name was and thats all my sister has on her comp..and the one i made forever ago just doesnt fit anymore! ugh

oh well gotta go

ugh i need my own internet!!!!! im going insane..well more than usual...

its so overwhelming being back at home..everyone wants me to do something for them or im expected to do everything and help everyone...its to much pressure..considered cutting already..i found my razors and they are staying in my car for now..but the thoughts are in my head and refusing to go away because it would be so easy to just use them and stay calm vs always being agitated over something all day long..im always worrying about something ive done or havent done and the agitation just isnt going away

i guess this will have to count for my official rant about being at home and ill have to try hard not to write about the same things again and again...

first off i made it home safe and sound more or less on saturday...didnt leave until 10 and then got really tired after about a n hour and had to stop..but still made it home safely...and as soon as i got home i had enough time to just dump everything and then had to babysit..i was ready to drop at about 11 that night and i was still with the kids...and then had to sleep on the counch at home because mommy had tons of stuff pulled out in my room and all over the bed and i had no where to sleep that night..sunday headed back to worok early because riley called and told me i had to come and babysit him and spent most of yesterday with him and we had fun..im not complaining about that but its just trying doing all this stuff in a couple days..got home last night and of course im told by mommy not to watch tv or anything because i had to work on getting my room in order..she seems to have forgotten that i just moved all my stuff back and im not allowed to be tired for some reason so i stayed up last night and got stuff in a sort of order for now..but its hard getting everything condensed back into one room and then not having a real closet really just makes it that much harder...

when i got home on friday it was fun seeing henry and nia and wayne of course because its been a while since all four of us have been at home all at the same time...but still it is crowded to because its the four of us upstairs with one bathroom..but also we are just back and forth into all the rooms up here... suddenly there is no privacy once again...i dont even have door knobs on my rooms door for some reason...it kinda sucks that i had to give up my orginal room to nia and now im back and its like ok you have to be in the other room..and now that im home and the only other one with a car i am now the taxi person..i had to take nia to work this morning and mommy is just assuming ill do it because im here...she yelled at me last night about taking her and its like you didnt even ask me you told me im taking hr and she didnt even wake up on time this morning !! i woke her up and it was like how is it that i come home and suddenly no one can do anything for themselves anymore? mommy is yelling and arguing about everything..i was told 5 times i had to clean the kitchen this morning like i could forget in an hour..i have to get nia from work this evening and then run errands all over town for everyone else...this was the main reason i didnt want my license when i was at home before ..i refused to be the one running errands and having to do everything..and now im stuck doing it..and i just know it will become my responsibilty to make sure nia is getting to work in the morrning and everything now..she is over 21 and doesnt have her license..and now more than ever before it pisses me off..

when i first got home on saturday when mommy saw me the first thing she commented on was my weight and that i gained again instead of losing...and thats all she wants to comment on ..and then has to tell everyone else that ive gained weight..there was no need for her to bring up my weight as soon as i walked in the kitchen this morning to her friend who was over here...score one for my confidence...god its not fair that that is all that matters...for the past couple days all i do is argue with myself about eating or not eating..it would be so easy to just say screw it and not eat enough to lose weight and make her happy..and part of me just loathes how easy it is to fall back into that and obssess even more about food and cals and all of that..it sucks big time and i just know she isnt going to drop the subject any time soon...everything about me is wrong

wow

im officially unemployed now..and im not sure what i think about it currently..im glad for the break i am..but im not looking forward to going back into the job hunt..i have to rework my resume now and get refrences and all that stuff...and well going home tomorrow...im setting the time frame for just leaving before 10 if im up at 5..lots to get done in those few hours and ive been working pretty hard i would say for the past hour or so going through the last things and throwing bunches of stuff today..dropping off stuff tomorrow morning early at the goodwill and hope i can just leave them there..taking out trash and packing my car and then last but not least giving the apartment a once over cleaning wise! but i dont think that will take to long if i would just get up and do it..i have to be up at 5 no way out of it..ill just have to go to bed early tomorrow to make up for being up so early

the kids are gone!!!!!!!!woohoo...but i do miss them ..i really liked my group this semester by the end ... they were all miserably out of control this morning and would not listen at all..i got to go to the airport and well two of the kids flight got cancelled and we were all freraking out wondering what to do about it because we didnt want to take them back to camp and the other flights were booked and all these things were going on..and luckily they managed to get placed on a different flight going out with another student and gosh i was so happy it worked out...i had no idea what was supposed to be done and it was just a lot of waiting and playing phone tag..how does a plane just break anyway ? ugh..but im glad it worked out..i went to the christmas party and im really not a really social person and so it was a bit painful i guess watching everyone talk and have a good time ..and i couldnt drink becuase of going home tomorrow and having to pack and everything tonight..it wouldnt have worked and i have to keep reminding myself of that..but i suck at small talk and just did a lot of watching and laughing at the silliness going on...my secret santa gift was the best i was told..and it was a picture of a tree changing ..through the seasons kinda but you have to walk past it to see it change lol..and so everyone had to try it out and see it as they walked past ..and im glad i tookd it now becuase at least i know it went to someone who will enjoy it..everyone was surprised that it was from walmart ! but overall i am glad i went because for a while i considered just not showing up and spending the extra time packing and stuff i went and it was like getting the chance to really say goodbye to everyone and my life for the past year..it was hard too but i guess thats just what happens when you leave someplace you have called home for the past year...and i will have to come to asheville to visit sometime too..i may not work for the program again but i still enjoy the camp and the area and i would come back and visit when i could...and no ive im not sorry about the last year..yea parts of it really sucked big time ..but i have had a lot of fun..ive learned a lot and done things i would have never ever ever considered doing before..so no no regrets ...although im sure ill be feeling depressed in a few days over all of it..but for now im ok
