The best laid plans of mice and men.
Nothing worked out the way it was planned but that doesn't mean it wasn't fun.
We were supposed to meet at location A, I was intercepted at the bus stop and ended up at his place for a few hrs. Work interrupted. Then plans changed 3,976 times between his place and mine.
That is what makes life interesting.
It was a gorgeous day and the goal of sitting outside with a few beers was achieved till we got sunburnt and hungry.
Hours of chatter, laughter and music later we are actually ready to bbq next Wed.
Totally loving the freedom spring brings to be spontanious. No worries about freezing to death along the way.

This was not an emergency.
If it had been this blog would have been accompanied my a high pitched noise and directions to jays blog for what to do in a real emergency.
I wasn't whoring my blog. I was helping wit with a pic in his and tested it in mine.
As you were,
ju

is geared to attention seeking whores.
The real question is can you do it with class?
ju

Due to a kid throwing up from 4-6am.
There is always next time,
ju

I hadn't seen my youngest since Mon. and though he drives us mad we missed him desperatly. Something was missing and it was him. My lil buddy is back!
He needs a haircut big time. I have to go downtown to pay a bill in the AM, then will take him for his haircut at 12:30. After that we are going out for linner, late lunch early dinner.
Odd as it may seem we have never done this.
Sure we have done the McD's thing but have never gone out to a real restaurant to sit and eat.
Tomorrow is the day. I have a date with my kids in the middle of the day it wont be busy, we can take as long as we like and there will still be lots of day left when we get home so we can all just do our thing.
Excited,
ju

Beautiful day again today.
My glacier is melting



The lillies are starting to surface.



As I was out enjoying the sun all I could hear were the pine cones cracking open to release the seeds.



I also cleaned all the windows on the main and lower floor. I would show you those but they are clean so you can't see them.
It was a long winter and there is still no guarantee we wont get more snow but spring is on the horizon. Yay!!!
Slightly pink from the sun,

Body no Gail we can't be friends. If you were any kind of friend at all you wouldn't have accused me both publicly and privately of something as ridiculous as you did.
ju

And this I promise NNers is the last you will hear of any interaction between me and this individual.
From me.
ffs,
ju

I have always known you have had a difficult job dealing with the so called adults around here. Those of us that try to help a bit take our fair share of shit.
I am not one to air shit in public but this just totally took the cake. I would imagine you have seen far worse and wish you could exact some sort of 'revenge' for lack of a better word.
This particular individual has been at it for longer than I have been here, which is a fuck of a long time. At one point, though there never was a connection "she" decided I was the younger and needed to be coddled and cultivated.
Whatever!
I have never been anything other than polite. I never participated in the so called "hate" threads in the forum.
In short I have kept mouth shut for coming up on 6 years.
Now I have something to say.

Body oh ffs you really want to accuse me of that?
Take it up with support if you think that is the issue, I dont have time for that kind of crap. I post what I want when I want and IF I have the time I MIGHT check out others. You are giving yourself far more credit than you are due if you think I would spend my time voting you down and you know what? buzz off, you have never been a friend you have always been a needy whiney bitch.
Love,
ju

Rant over.

I hate feeling like this!
I was really enjoying being out working. It was something I was doing, something I was good at and something I was given recognition for.
It has only been a week and a half since that ended and I have been desperatly trying to hang on to that sense of self but it seems to have slipped and I am right back where I started.
I do have some support but things just aren't good for finding a job right now. I have applied for some volunteer work but have heard nothing back from that yet.
I have plans for taking another course in the spring but I want it to happen now. I have thought about going back to school full time but it is depressing looking at the available jobs and the only real call seems to be for PSWs, RPNs and RNs. I wish I could do that kind of job but I can't. All the caring and patience I ever possessed went into caring for my children and in particular my disabled child. That field is a no go for me.
I know I am not the only one in this situation but it is driving me nuts that I stayed home all of these years and now when I have my kids in a good place and am ready to go back there are so many stumbling blocks. I would literally take anything but it seems I am over qualified to take just anything and what I am qualified for, well, my skills are out of date. Out of date isn't a real problem in the long term. I would jump at the chance to upgrade and to keep learning. I just need someone to give me the interview. Talking face to face I could convey all of that, only so much comes through on a resume.
I know I am not the only one looking for work but damnit this wasn't part of the plan! I poured my heart and soul into getting the best care possible for my son and am now ready to do the same thing for an employer.
It really sucks that parenting isn't considered experience worth mentioning on a resume.
I just wanted to keep the momentumn going but that just ain't happening.
Oh so frustrated,
ju
