Journal Entry for April 11, 2009 Mood
Saturday, April 11, 2009 | A Rambling story

I haven't written a journal entry for so long...I don't know what to write!   I just know that it is two a.m. and I am wide awake!  Cannot sleep.....  I have no idea what is going on with me.....My job is worrisome...less and less hours at the hospital...less work...only enough work for 2 people in transcription, but we have 3......one of us, not me, is a big slacker...but they don't let one of us go, so every third week...when it is your turn, you have to not work and use up your vacation time.....how fair is that?  I have worked SO hard going to school to get this job and for a while earned SO much money...and every year it just dwindles.....

 

I would love to just start over and do something totally different....but what?  How can I just start over.  I have the benefits, our insurance.......so much to worry about.

 

I like working less, to be honest.....so much to do...I can get the laundry done, the dishes, clean the house, do the errands....but less money....that is always a worry.  My kids are grown, yes, 20 and 23, but still need me lots.  Kara lives at home and Seth is out in Colorado....I still support them alot, because I want to. 

 

I still have not found who I am at the old ripe age of 49 and counting....I do not want to turn 50 in June...so superficial.......it is just a number, but making me count the years and think, hey, i really don't have THAt much time left...look how fast the years have gone by....just the sound of  50 sounds SO so So old....I hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Well, to sum it up....I am still a huge F up and no better off than 3 years ago......just doing what I have to do and getting by....not happy with anything or making an progress.  What a cry baby, huh?  I hate that.  That's why I hate myself.   Geez....straighten up....slap myself in the face...get a life.....just DO it.....

 

Well....until the next year so......maybe I will learn from myself and do something positive with my life and go forward, but we will see...

    hey g/f i can relate to a lot of what you have said. i felt worthless and was so hard on myself but you know what? you are a wonderful person with a lot to offer. have you ever thought of taking that week or spare time and doing something you love? i am making jewelry and want to start selling it. maybe even my benches. when i was drinking i would always procrastinate but now i push myself to do the things i love. i am beginning to come out of that past person i was and live again. things are by no means perfect, but what is? what is your talent susan? what is it you love to do? any hobbies you have not done in some time? think about it. i am always here as a sounding board. i have faith in you girlfriend.
    always

Sad Mood
Tuesday, February 3, 2009
It seems none of my friends are on here when I most need them!!  I am so sad right now....my husband had a huge blow up with my daughter, 19, over not doing her fair share of responsibilities around here, which is a valid point, but he has no idean how to go about it.   In summary, they both yelled at each other and he kicked a huge hole in her bedroom door, she left for the night to stay at her boyfriend's house and I am out here working.   I am so, so sick of this...........I have no idea what to do.   I texted her and told her how much I love her and basically apologized for him.    I am just so sick of all of this after so man years.    My kids have had to deal with a dad who is not anywhere close to a good dad and I try to make up for it.  I bend over way to far in the opposite direction.    I have no answer.  I want my kids to be happy, but they hate their dad.   I feel this is my fault. I chose their dad.  I could not give them a wonderful dad.  I failed.   It is way too late to undue the damage, they are 19 and 22.    I knew when they were babies.  He is a good man and loves them, but has no idea how to deal with them or me.   My job is in question every day  and things going wrong with the house...the shower, the hot tub, the frig......i have to deal with all of this and i am at a breaking point.......

    Time to do some serious soul searching and decide if you are holding onto something with love or with fear.... I have been in similar situations on numerous occasions.... Please! Be honest with yourself.
