Venting Stories

  • my faith struggle

    Thursday, April 17, 2008 | A Venting story

    until recently, like within the past year or 2, I have always been a very religious person. I have always had a need to find out more about God and all things spiritual. I became a born again Christian at the age of 18 after being raised catholic my entire life. I prayed every day of my life until recently. I think its because I was always praying to God for someone to love me, which now I h...

    Monday, April 21, 2008 | A Venting story

    I was talking to my son over the weekend, and he informed me that the extra hour and a half he spends at the SDC in the regualr public school for social skills has been just giving him busy work to do.  In the IEP he was supposed to be going to the SDC so he could spend time with his friend in that class to foster social skills.  He said they have only been giving him crossword puzzles ...

  • BAD DAY!

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008 | A Venting story

    Today was not a good day! I got more sleep, but my pain was/is awful! The bad thing about it, I had to go to the "Mentor" class today and put on my happy face with other teachers.  I could barely keep my head up and eyes open b/c the pain was making me sick to my stomach. I was sitting there during class thinking to myself, "Here I am, going to be a mentor for a new teach...

    Okay, so here's another day. About my pain............I just took my vicodin with a beer. That should say something. Actually, I'm on my second one. I know, I know, not a good idea, but it's been a long day (pain wise) and I just want to sleep tonight.  I woke up about 4 times last night b/c of my pain. My sleeping pills are not working. I feel bad that my hubby wakes up wit...

    Tuesday, August 5, 2008 | A Venting story

    I haven't written in my journal in a couple days, and I can tell. I need to vent......again!  I had a great weekend. My family was in town, we went shopping, went out to dinner and shopped some more. I tried to keep on my "happy face", but I don't think I did a very good job. I had a great time, I had so much fun. I just knew I would pay for it later. When I have a &qu...

  • Unlived Life

    Monday, August 24, 2009 | A Venting story

    "Ok Kristen, now count backwards from 10 and it will all be over," These were the words I heard ringing loudly, yet clearly in my ears, as I watched the man inject a yellowish liquid through my painful I.V. My heart raced as fear rushed through my veins. I had never felt so terrified in my entire life. After the doctor spoke these words, a cloud of darkness whirled around me. I last rem...
