No matter how old you get why is it you can be with your parents and feel like your 5 years old again not literally... I guess you never stop being there child to them....and you never stop feeling it....

Life is funny that way...

My grandma will say oh the kids came by....It always sounds funny to me because she is talking about my dad and step mom...and to her they are her kids...everyone has so many roles in life....

Life........never stops being amazing...

Shoes

Lisa your so funny no they don't tickle they are very soft..

I do make them to sell.. I sold about 8 pairs or so in my nieghborhood and at my sisters work...

I have been charging 12 dollars...If the string wasn't so expensive I could charge less.. they are much cuter than these pictures .. I took the pictures with a webcam...

I like the old navy flip flops the best even thought they are a little more expensive than the ones at the craft store... I have other designs but they are in my camera which is not a digital and I haven't gotten them developed..

I enjoy making them its kind of fun..I think next year I will make some with beads or something different...

I'm a flip flop fanatic..

Go Away....

You know you're living in 2005 when

You know you're living in 2005 when...

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they
don't have e-mail addresses.

6. You go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a
business manner.

7. You make phone calls from home; you accidentally dial "9" to get an
outside line.

8. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different
companies.

10. You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o'clock news.

11. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.

12. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if
anyone is home.

13. Every commercial on television has a website at the bottom of the
screen.

14. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the
first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you
turn around to go and get it.

15. You get up in the morning and go on-line before getting your coffee.

16. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :)

17. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

18. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this
message.

19. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

20. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this
list.

AND NOW YOU'RE LAUGHING at yourself.

REalxing

Took the kids swimming tonight for about a hour and a half...Talked with the neighbor down the street...

A very nice lady...

Randy,zach and I walked down to the duck pond and zach feed the ducks....

Nice end to the day..

Frusutrated

So you all know my frustration with the Dr I have been going to...

So I went today..and I have decided I will probably keep going to him for a while but I will not take my son back..My 10 years old is adhd

This guy is suppose to specialize in kids but get this...

--His waiting room has no toys or anything remotely close to looking like a child...

--When I met with DR by myself he was ok but when my son was with me..The DR acted weird...different than when he was meeting just me

the Dr acted nervous..like he didnt want my kid around

--He kept telling my son to not interrupt me.. my son was just adding to what I was saying about him ....because we were meeting about him <my son> 

--My son started acting really strange when we were in there anxious...like he wasnt comfortable..

so I took it as first time jitters...

Today he told my son to not put his foot up in the seat..

It was the way he talked to him..like he hated kids...

This guy told me he specialized in kids..Good grief

I went in and told him I was pissed off because I felt that the school did not want to deal with my son adhd...

They complained about his hyperness so after a few years I gave in and medicated him...He seemed to do better and now they say he is flat and seemed depressed..now we wont to start him on antidepresants..I will not

So I didnt give him anymore antidepresants after twos days

I said shit they can't have everything..I said before he was medicated the only complaint was he couldnt stay in his seat...other than that he was a funny kid with energy

The Dr looked at me and said sounds like your frustrated..I said yes and started to tear up..

He said well take him off everything then...

and I can see him in 3 weeks..

I just looked at him..I thought ok that its you dont want to talk to me about it...He said you probably need to take him to a therapist...Its like he was brushing me off since he couldnt make any money off me..<that is just my feeling>

PFFTT.. I just took him to a play therapist that he loved but... she didnt teach me a damn thing about how to help my son...

Then He started talking about my meds while my son was in the room which was weird I thought

I tried to tell him that being on this Ritalin is fine but I  get very upset and cranky after so many hours..also I get weepy after a few hours

He said well when the ritalin wears off you will get that way so you may need to take it twice a day instead of once... it sounds like you doing good so I will see you in 3 weeks.. I thought WTF He didnt even want to really talk to me about it..

This is why I didnt even want to go see another Head DR...Good ones are hard to fine...and I hate the freaking weeding out process...

This makes me want to not put my kids in school and just home school...

If your the type of patient that just wonts  to walk in get your prescription and leave then this DR  is for you..but if you want to make you life better forget it..

There is more than just meds you need to work on other things that can on the whole make you a better able person to deal with life and your illness whatever it may be...

I wish I could afford to put my son in a private school specific for adhd..

If anybody knows any good website...or books on adhd let my know...

Or a good child psychirist in Dallas are or suburbs let me know

Sorry about the rambling but I had to vent...

Breathe Donna Breathe

Yeah I know my spelling is crappy but AOl wont pay to have spell check...Idiots...

Damn I'm gripey

Have we gone too farr

So I was listening to the radio or the news I forget and in plano texas they want to take the swings off the play grounds because kids might swing to high and fall and get hurt..

I thought WTH..surely I didnt hear that right....

I thougth come on people...

Now I'm all for protecting my children...but kids have got to learn things....and some of the learning is experenece

Keeping your kids in a bubble and not exposing or at least educating them on life...for me is down right humm shall we say stupid...

It like not letting your infant try to walk because they might fall and hurt themselves...

There are so many hellicoper moms in this area is it alarming....

You guys know what I'm saying...Everything in moderation..and being too protective can cause I child to go into culture shock when they are grown and out in the real world...

Our jobs as parents is to teach our children to be good citizens,be resposible,kind,unselfish...etc...I could go on...but you get the picture

the daily things of life...

But up here I see parents who overindulge there children..example BMW's for there 16 birthdays...unlimited wardrobe...I could go on and on..

Then the parents are shocked when little suzi or billy cant fuction on a minimal paying job..or becomes demanding because she or he is used to the finer things in life that she didnt work to earn...

So now I see alot of these spoilt chilren..being helluns because they are used to being catered to and nothing expected from them to earn it..

I guess what I'm seeing is an idea of entitlement...

Gee and these will be the people who run the world when I get older...

I shuttered...

Me maw sent this to me

my memaw sent me this story...I though it was interesting...I dont know if its true since you know who things can be in internet land...maybe if anybody knows they can find out..so here it is...The ending kind of blew me away

Brandys journal

I read all kinds of journals because I like people from all ages to all walks of life...I think learning about people young and old gives us wisdom...makes us realize we all want the same things...to love and to be love...happiness....health..

so Brandie this little young lady I read has a journal and she wrote this on it I thought it was very smart for her age...

here it is

. My husband is not the devil (even though his face might turn red, sprout horns, and smoke out his ears from time to time LOL)

2. If you can't laugh about it, you haven't lived it right.

3. Never betray a freind and live to tell about it

4. It was still illegal even if you didn't get caught

5. Always knock before entering (never know what little surprises are behind that door)

6. Don't eat with your mouth full, you might miss a great tasting bite down your shirt.

7. Never assume anything, it might be worse than you had thought

8. Sex = kids, go figure

9. Collections are great to have after you are done rasing kids

10. God must have had a great sense of humor or bad sense of humor depending on the situation and interperation

11. Kallua and coffee was made for stay at home moms (LOL)

12. Try not to sneeze while driving, its harder to clean the inside of a windshild than the outside

13. Womans intuition or PMS? Who can really tell the difference?

14. A weak woman can still walk, a sad woman can still laugh, but a mad woman can't do anything pleasant

15. Never underestamate a child, just when you think you have it right they prove you wrong. ie: kid pooping in your bath tub while not taking a bath (really happened to me)

16. Marriage is a give and take, the smart partner is the one who takes

17. Life is like dodge ball, as long as you are not in the middle, you are ok

18. Just because you can put it on does not under any circumstances mean you should wear it,

19. Life is full of surprises, so plan ahead

20. Always be prepared for anything, especially after eating Taco Bell.

Go and give her visit if you would like.... her alerts have been off so maybe we could bombard her with comments..

Just to keep this youngun busy lol lol HA HA

Donna In TEXAS

Are you her mom?

Woke up this morning and went over to my sister's..

She had an appt with  Dr.Carmen and I wanted to go along..

This Dr is one that I used to work for and have a lot of respect for.. she is just a very nice person all together...Dr Carmen was in with a group of Drs and went out on her own practice and I hadnt seen her in a few months and wanted to say Hi..

We got there early and another lady walked in...we started up a conversation about who had what surgeries and why etc...

Ya know general chit chat...Well there was an emergency and the Dr was delayed a little so we ended up setting and talking to this other lady for about an hour...

Really nice lady about my age...My sister mentioned something about being older and she ask my sisters age she said 41 and the lady looked shocked...

she said really I thought you were alot younger...

<People always think that about my sister...>

so we continue talking and my sister calls her work to tell them she will be a little late...

The lady looks at me and says are you her mom???

I start laughing and say no I'm her sister..I'm only 43..

Well, the blood drained out of that ladies face real quick..I know she felt like an idot

I said don't worry about it...

The lady got called back into the exam rooms and my sister said on my gosh did that hurt your feelings??...

you know its because I act more immature than you ...

I said naugh IT did caught me off guard but then I though it was funny.

my sister said its just your so mature acting people have always thought you were older you whole life.

I thought it was nice my sister was concerned about my feelings..

Late that evening I called my sister..

I said YA know I think I must need a need hair style or something...

She said WHY

I said because I got to thinking and that is the second time in the last 6 months someone has assumed I'm your mom...

She laughed and said when was the other time..

I said when you were going back to surgery and the guy said ok mom kiss your daughter so we can take her back to surgery..

My sister laughed and said I forgot about that...

I said yeah I had too...

So tomorrow I'm going to get my hair cut and highlighted back a little blonder... lol lol lol

gee his brain was running on high speed tonight..

You like the way I save the tooth fairy...dang I almost thought I screwed up

Good night...

Frightening

Got this from hestia homeschool for wild womans journal thought I would pass it along...frighten me I will defentily put up the compressed air

If you know someone with children please pass this along to them. It is a  true story as the link at the bottom will show.

First I'm going to tell you a little about me and my family. My name is  Jeff. I am a Police Officer for a city which is known nationwide for its crime  rate. We have a lot of gangs and drugs. At one point we were # 2 in the nation
in homicides per capita. I also have a police K-9 named Thor. He was certified in drugs and general duty. He retired at 3 years old because he was shot in  the line of duty. He lives with us now and I still train with him because he
likes it. I always liked the fact that there was no way to bring drugs into my  house. Thor wouldn't allow it. He would tell on you. The reason I say this is so you understand that I know about drugs. I have taught in schools about drugs. My wife asks all our kids at least once a week if they used any drugs. Makes them promise they won't.

I like building computers occasionally and started building a new one in February 2005. I also was working on some of my older computers. They were full of dust so on one of my trips to the computer store I bought a 3 pack of DUST
OFF. Dust Off is a can of compressed air to blow dust off a computer. A few weeks later when I went to use them they were all used. I talked to my kids and my
2 sons both said they had used them on their computer and messing around with them. I yelled at them for wasting the 10 dollars I paid for them. On February 28 I went back to the computer store. They didn't have the 3 pack which I
had bought on sale so I bought a single jumbo can of Dust Off. I went home and set it down beside my computer.

On March 1st I left for work at 10 PM. At 11 PM my wife went down and kissed Kyle goodnight. At 530 am the next morning Kathy went downstairs to wake Kyle
up for school, before she left for work. He was sitting up in bed with his legs crossed and his head leaning over. She called to him a few times to get up. He didn't move. He would sometimes tease her like this and pretend he fell
back asleep. He was never easy to get up. She went in and shook his arm. He fell over. He was pale white and had the straw from the Dust Off can coming out of
his mouth. He had the new can of Dust Off in his hands. Kyle was dead.

I am a police officer and I had never heard of this. My wife is a nurse and she had never heard of this. We later found out from the coroner, after the autopsy, that only the propellant from the can of Dust off was in his system. No
other drugs. Kyle had died between midnight and 1 Am.

I found out that using Dust Off is being done mostly by kids ages 9 through 15. They even have a name for it. It's called dusting. A take off from the Dust Off name. It gives them a slight high for about 10 seconds. It makes them
dizzy. A boy who lives down the street from us showed Kyle how to do this about a month before. Kyle showed his best friend. Told him it was cool and it couldn't hurt you. Its just compressed air. It can't hurt you. His best friend said
no.

Kyle's death

Kyle was wrong. It's not just compressed air. It also contains a propellant. I think its R2. Its a refrigerant like what is used in your refrigerator. It is a heavy gas. Heavier than air. When you inhale it, it fills your lungs and keeps the good air, with oxygen, out. That's why you feel dizzy, buzzed. It
decreases the oxygen to your brain, to your heart. Kyle was right. It can't hurt you. IT KILLS YOU. The horrible part about this is there is no warning. There is no level that kills you. It's not cumulative or an overdose; it can just go
randomly, terribly wrong. Roll the dice and if your number comes up you die. IT'S NOT AN OVERDOSE. Its Russian roulette. You don't die later. Or not feel good and say I've had too much. You usually die as your breathing it in. If not
you die within 2 seconds of finishing "the hit." That's why the straw was still in Kyle's mouth when he died. Why his eyes were still open.

The experts want to call this huffing. The kids don't believe its huffing. As
adults we tend to lump many things together. But it doesn't fit here. And
that's why its more accepted. There is no chemical reaction. no strong odor. It
doesn't follow the huffing signals. Kyle complained a few days before he died
of his tongue hurting. It probably did. The propellant causes frostbite. If I
had only known.

Its easy to say hay, its my life and I'll do what I want. But it isn't. Others are always affected. This has forever changed our family's life. I have a
hole in my heart and soul that can never be fixed. The pain is so immense I can't describe it. There's nowhere to run from it. I cry all the time and I  don't ever cry. I do what I'm supposed to do but I don't really care. My kids are
messed up. One won't talk about it. The other will only sleep in our room at night. And my wife, I cant even describe how bad she is taking this. I thought we were safe because of Thor. I thought we were safe because we knew about
drugs and talked to our kids about them.

After Kyle died another story came out. A Probation Officer went to the school system next to ours to speak with a student. While there he found a student
using Dust Off in the bathroom. This student told him about another student who also had some in his locker. This is a rather affluent school system. They
will tell you they don't have a drug problem there. They don't even have a dare or plus program there. So rather than tell everyone about this "new" way of getting high they found, they hid it. The probation officer told the media
after Kyle's death and they, the school, then admitted to it. I know that if they would have told the media and I had heard, it wouldn't have been in my house.

We need to get this out of our homes and school computer labs.

Using Dust Off isn't new and some "professionals" do know about. It just isn't talked about much, except by the kids. They know about it.

April 2nd was 1 month since Kyle died. April 5th would have been his 15th birthday. And every weekday I catch myself sitting on the living room couch at
2:30 in the afternoon and waiting to see him get off the bus. I know Kyle is in heaven but I cant help but wonder If I died and went to Hell.

This is on the Snopes site as a true story. Urban Legends Reference Pages: Toxins (Dusted Off)

big fat pig

Heck I don't know what is wrong with me today I have ate so much ice cream..

2 dreamsicles

a bowl of mint chocolate chip..

I'm a oinker today

must be all the sun from the pool fried my brain lol

my cecy

Those of you who have been reading my journal for a while know about my friend cecy who died of breast cancer at 32..I have wrote about her off and on...

Well I have kept in contact with her husband off and on and have gone over and seen the kids..I promised cecy I would and I have...

SO....I ran into daniel at the end of school party...

We hug...I say how are you and he throws this out there..

Oh I'm getting married...

I knew he would eventually but it kind of shocked me a little....

I say a little shocked because the orignal shock was when he started dating 6 months after cecy died...

Cecy has been gone 2 years this last april...

I told him that I'm happy for him but that is does make me sad..... a little .....just reminds me that cecy is never coming back...

He got a little defensive with me saying well I'm lonely and the kids need a mother and cecy would want me to get remarried etc... etc..

I looked at him and said Daniel I'm not putting you down I know cecy would want you to remarry...

It's just a reminder of what is...

He said well I know I live it everyday..you don't have to visit it unless you want to...her being gone is constantly around me...

I told him your right that is true

Then he said oh and I'm selling the house...

I can't judge him....well I could but that is not fair...

I would like to think if I died my husband would be sad for longer than 6 months before he started looking again...

People say well he is a man and men don't like to be alone....Maybe that is true I'm not a man...<Last time I checked I wasnt a man >lol lol

I don't know how I would be if my husband died I haven't been though it..I havent walked down that road....

I really like his girlfriend and I know cecy would like her also....

In my heart I wish him well and I know that the boys need that mother type love....

So cecy just know that I still love you...and miss you and so does Daniel...

Life has gone on....has it should...just like you would want it to..

You were the most unselfish person I knew...

Until we met again...

All my love

Donna

 

being a little brave.....

I have a private journal that I usually write in about my life with depression...It is very deep and at times a little weird when I read back and see how sad I can get.How deep the hole inside me gets...

but today I decided to be brave and write my entry in here...just to throw it out there...Not sure why..

This house is very quite .....everyone is asleep except me....

Sleep is a luxury I don't always get my body does its own thing...

It has been 5 days since I have started my meds and I feel a little lost...

You see with meds the sadness has been gone.. and quite frankly I'm missing it at times...

It has been a part of me for years...I hide it well at times at times I dont....

Its like my friend" depression" has gone and quite frankly I don't really know how to act.

Parts of me don't miss it and the other part still looks for it....searching all the while not really wanting to find it....not really..but wondering if it is just hiding and waiting to peeks it head out at me....

Afraid that it will come back and consume my thoughts....

I do not know for sure that this med is the answer..I'm afraid to think about it too much

like the thinking will mess things up...but it hasn't

I have found myself second guessing or even trying to find something wrong with this med...

Is it because I don't know how it just live happy??

I have no answers..only questions..

Sometime I tell myself maybe my family is right and I'm just a weakling and need to toughen up...

But I know it easy to tell someone how to feel when your not experiencing it..They are wrong but they mean well...

So I sat here and type and think....What does the world hold for me today or tomorrow...

I'm not sure but this I know whatever it is I will face it brokeness and all..I will make it thorough...

interesting

Got this in a e-mail thought I would share

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the
1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!

<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O /><O:P></O:P> <O:P></O:P>

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they
carried us.

 
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing and didn't get tested for
diabetes.
 

Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored
lead-based paints.
 

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we
rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took
hitchhiking.

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.


Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE
actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, bread and butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but
we weren't overweight because WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING! 

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back
when the streetlights came on.

No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
 

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down
the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the
bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
 

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no
99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell
phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat
rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!


We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
lawsuits from these accidents.

 
We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms (only some  of us copped out for catsup) and although we
were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes, nor did the  worms live in us forever.

<ok For the record I never ate worms but I did taste some play dough lol>Donna

<O:P></O:P>

<O:P></O:P>
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang
the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!


Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't
had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

<O:P></O:P>

<O:P></O:P>
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.   They
actually sided with the law! 

This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers
and inventors ever! 

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. 

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned  

<O:P></O:P>

 HOW TO
DEAL WITH IT ALL!

 

And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS!

 

DR Appt.

Went to the Dr today...I was very apprehensive but he was very personalble..

My gut felt ok with him...I always listen to my gut..

He ask very interesting questions...questions that I dont remember my last Dr ever asking...

So I'm taking...Concerta and half a low dose of trazadone sp<antideppresant>? at night to help me sleep. I will take this for a week and meet back and let him know an update of how the meds effected me and we will go from there..

I have to admit one dose of the concerta has calmed my mind down...Not obsessing so much however it does energize me a little which I needed..I had become so lethargic and so unmodivated...I just feel calmer inside which is werid for me

I will give it a week if it works great ...if not.. at least I feel like he is the type of dr who is flexible and listens to me...

He also recommend I start back with my therapist again..He said meds alone arent the answer...<thought you would like that lisa<wink>>>

Something he said really threw me off though...

He looked at me and said do you realize how smart your are???

I looked at him like he was crazy!!! I said no I feel like a failure and stupid...

He said..you are...<he said this based on some the the stuff we talked about which I wont go into>

He said Donna you need to realize your potential its there I see it even with what you told that you realized as a small child tells me alot about your abilities...

It kind of shocked me no one had really told me that before..other than family who sometimes you think they just say it to make you feel better ya know..

Overall it was a good visit...

SO there you have it...boring story and all...

Probably more than you really wanted to know...
