Hey guys!! What's happenin? How are yas? I am doing okay. Just sitting here relaxin a bit. What have you been up to today?
I took Dillon to school this morning. Had a WIC appointment to pick up new vouchers. Thank God for that because we were outta milk.
Tootie had an appointment at 10am at the Department of Labor to get the process of vocational rehab started. She is going back on Tuesday to do the job skills assessment day. If it is determined she has no marketable job skills, they will send her for tech school or training. I am excited about it for her.
Dillon is going to be attending school three days a week now instead of two. MWF. That's what I wanted for this school year. He is doing great.
I did a bit of housework today. Not much though. In pain. Now that I have bored you to tears, I bid you a great evening/day. You are in my thoughts and they are good.
Love & Hugs,
Chelle

Right now I'm just procrastinating. I should SO be doing housework, or homework for a class I'm taking... but I'm not. Oh well!
Today I have been into town, sorted out some bills etc, caught up with one of my friends from school, did some cleaning and saw my sister for a while.
Just now I am wide awake although I should be thinking about bed, debating on visiting a friend like 100 miles away tomorrow before I go back to school
sorry about the pain Zany cool about the kiddo tho
I had to explain to her that being suicidal is how I know I'm ok. For me, it's normal. If I think about it 3 or 4 times a day, that's doing very well. Once an hour is about average. Every 5 minutes is bad. For a while after my son's murder I was NOT suicidal even a little bit. I was very homicidal, and at one point ran out the door swinging a machete, but I told her today I was thinking about suicide maybe twice an hour, which isn't bad.
You should have seen the look on her face. I explained to her about my barriers. I remember how I felt when my Papa died when I was 10. No way can I put my kids through that kind of pain. I'm just not selfish enough to do that to them, no matter how much personal anguish and torture I have. I just can't do it to them.
She seemed to understand that. My pdoc approves, and he's the one who named this coping mechanism my "barriers". So that's basically how my day went.
Then I jump on my bed and mark my wallchart in red , yellow or green fibrous pen.
Then, I forget where I am and just bounce on the bed...boing boing.
It instantly re-connects with the child I once was.
I suppose it's just a way of killing time...or delaying any duties and responsibilities.
Bouncing are the cheesemakers.
Lou.......I want somma dat cake!!
Sam.......sorry your friend is sick.
W.........have a toke or two for me!!
Plukk.........are you delaying bedtime again by jumping on the bed? My, but cheesemakers are naughty!!
