I was so upset and mad yesterday and most of the evening.  Today, I'm just really sad.  It's so hard and I feel so badly - just about everything.The anger is still there, just at life, the world,...

I know I've journaled a few times about my son's difficulties at school and about losing my cool with the vice-principal and well, I just got served.  He filed a FINS petition against me and I get...

Today was a nice, record breaking 110 degrees for the first day of fasting.  Forecast calls for about 3 more days of record breakers before cooling to a pleasant 99!So, today, I will be thankful...

I hope that all muslims are able to use this as a time of reflection, improvement, peace, and development in patience (fasting for 15 hours - especially in this heat wave - will require lots...

In other areas outside of looming reunions...I've noticed lately that sometimes I just don't know what to say.  On several of the groups I am a member of, the parents of sexual abuse victims, the N...

Coming up this weekend, the big 20 year reunion.  Even though there is that small part of me that wishes I had the funds beforehand for a bit of nip & tuck, I will just be glad if I can afford a new...

It has been a tiring week, but the house is looking so good!  My speech went well today. I came in right in the middle on the time limit of between 3-5 at 4 minutes.  Although I absolutely love the...

I am glad it's Friday.  I have my Literature paper written, my speech written and practiced and my clothes for tomorrow prepared.  After this journal, it's off to bed I go.  We were able to put...

I always find it amazing when you put energy out into the world and then something seems to just fall in your lap.  So, as I was talking late last night about finding my voice, I get this post on FB...

I've noticed over the last several weeks that I am feeling much more like putting myself (the real me) out into the world more.  I have found myself wanting to speak in communications...

My dad thought it would be a great time to finish the inside remodel!  The N just did the main strip.  The kids's bedrooms, my office, hallway and den all still had the old, yucky carpet.  I know...

I found myself writing another speech for communications class this time.  It was an informative speech about me and the event that formed the person I am.  I would love to be able to write a...

Going to bed (too late, as usual), I am finding myself feeling back in my element a bit. It was back to class Tuesday.  My dad decided it was a great time to finish the inside remodeling since it's...

Something I've discovered since working on my new boundaries and patterns in my life....I have this new pissy!  And no, it's not all bad.  I'm seeing it, really, as a little more piss and...

I feel so much a whiner these days!  I have all these great positive things happening and all these great, positive thoughts...but, I'm just bored.I think it is soooo good that I have cut all the...
