Quick Update

We've put him back on the meds to due out-of-control behavior. If he had continued this way, there would have been problems in school and I would have ended up in the hospital minus a head because it would have blown up, LOL. My head, that is. *sigh* Lord, please give me the strength and patience I need to make it through this...

I Need A Vaycay

Well, we've taken Mouth completely off the Risperdal due to his massive weight gain. Now, I don't know how I am going to survive life at home with his behavior. If he was difficult and argumentative before, now he is (no exaggeration) ten times worse. I can't ask him to go to the bathroom before we leave the house without a massive meltdown on both our parts. He constantly tells me no. He constantly defies me and does things to antagonize his brother and myself. I truly feel like all I do is yell and it is getting to be embarrassing to me because I start yelling before I even realize it. And I feel bad for Mouth, because I don't think he likes his behavior anymore than I do. He throws tantrums in stores again and gets louder and louder the more I shush him. I just feel like crying all the time and I am so exhausted. The constant screaming at me wears on me to the point where I want to just give in so he will stop and leave me alone.

I am so tired.

Please pass me the bowl of Xanax.

Another Must See!!!

Okay, another blog I read had this great Youtube video. I laughed so hard and grinned ear to ear. Wouldn't it be great if in real life, one could just break into song and dance! I loved how no one was making fun and SO MANY people just joined in. What a great video.

ARGHHHH!!!!

I am so fed up with this whole store that I went to interview at. Once again, I jerked around. They told me that I wouldn't work out because they are looking for people to work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I can. But the availability I put wouldn't work, due to the fact that the store is Union and if they gave me those hours, someone with higher seniority could say they want my hours and they would take them. So they wanted me to work from 6p.m. or so until 1 a.m. Uh, no, can't do it, I have kids and a Hubby that works two weeks a month on nights and has to leave by 12:30. So, I got a handshake and a "No thank you, call us if your availability changes."

WHY COULDN'T SOMEONE TELL ME THIS ON THE DAMNED PHONE INSTEAD OF MAKING ME GET MY HOPES UP AND GET DRESSED UP FOR THIS SHIT?????!!!!!!

*sigh*

I hate that store....

Cross Your Fingers, Say a Prayer, Light a Candle....

Okay, ya'll, I have a second interview set for Wednesday at 10 a.m. So, say a prayer, light a candle, cross your fingers and toes, turn around three times while rubbing your belly and patting your head or whatever you do for luck, LOL. As much as I like staying home in the evenings, we need the extra paycheck. (And I will get to keep some for yarn purchasing!!!!! So, that is extra incentive to get out there and earn me some dough, hee heeeeee.)

In knitting news, I have put my two in-progress socks on hold to work on a Mother's Day gift for my mom. I've been knitting Ballband Dishcloths since she really liked the moss stich cloths I made her for Christmas. I have three done and another on the needles. They knit up REALLY fast and I like knitting them. And I am proud of myself because it is the first color work I've really ever done. It's not fancy colorwork, but I have to carry the extra up the sides so I am feeling a tad clever. ;)

Once those are done, I may knit some for myself, or go back to my socks. I am leaning more towards the socks, because I have use up all my cotton and would have to buy some more to make some Ballbands for me. (Not that I haven't found some cotton at Joann's that I really like, LOL. It is pink, light brown, and white. Reminds me of Neopolitan ice cream. Yummy!)

*signs off to pray REAL hard*

Would Sweats and a T-Shirt Work????

Okay, so there is a job fair today at our local super-mart-grocery-store place (if you live in Michigan, you know who I refer to. ;D ) and I am heading there to beg for a job after I pick up Hubby from work.

I just realized how much I hate dressing up and my closet shows it. I live in t-shirts and sweats. I have no dress slacks. One skirt and blouse. Two pairs of dress shoes (very much on the casual side-- you know, black with chunky heels) that I can cram my feet into if it is a life or death situation. So, to go to this job fair, I am wearing a nice pair of jeans, a pair of those shoes, and a nice sweater. (I cannot find any pantyhose, though. I may have used them to hang the person who made me wear them last....) I figure if they call me back for an interview, I will go buy some new pantyhose and wear the dressy outfit. (I think the last time I wore it was a funeral....)

My closet is filled with t-shirts, divided into two sections: Lounge shirts and 'Out' shirts. The lounge shirts are ex-'Out' shirts that have been shrunk, grease spattered (I forgot I was wearing an 'out' shirt and proceeded to fry chicken or some such nonsense, or holey). They number in the dozens. Then, I have the few shirts that I wear out. I try desperately to remember to hang them to dry, lest they shrink in the dryer, and change out of them as soon as I am home from somewhere. I have to laugh, because I never go anywhere fancy so when I am able to buy myself clothes, I lean towards t-shirts. (I am all about comfort, ya know) But when I need to go somewhere, like a funeral, job fair, out to eat (other than fast food), or whatever, I curse my choices.

I have two nice sweaters (and two more that I wonder what kind of crack I was smoking when I bought them and have since outgrown, thank goodness) that I like to wear. Once is cotton, in Fall colors with leaves on the front of it and the other is a pretty sageish-forestish green that is 100% merino wool that zips up the front. I love it. It will be a bit warm, I think but that's why God made Degree anti-perspirant, right? So, I think that, jeans, clunky shoes, my hair up, and some make-up should be good.

*sigh*

I hate this crap, LOL.
