Hurricane Irene 8/27/2011

All of Delmarva has been told to prepare for the worst hurricane that has hit this area in.....well that depends on who you are watching. I have heard several different news media personalities spout out multiple years as far back as 1935 or some shit like that.

Somewhere along the way my "powers that be" saw fit to power down and prepare for the worst at work. We closed down the store yesterday at 5pm and are closed until it is safe to return. They went as far as hiring a professional company to board our windows up.....they came out and measured the windows yesterday around 3pm but as of this morning at 5am they had not showed back up to actually do the work. All I know if for some unknown reason they ended up not boarding our windows up like they are under contract to do and if our windows get blown out by the hurricane there will be hell to pay.

My Sweetie is not home with us do to his job being very important.....saying that he spent the last 2 days preparing us for nasty Irene. I know he is going to worry about us but he is helping to keep Delmarva informed and safe.

So far we are getting lots of rain and wind but its not due to actually hit us to later tonight, I will keep you up date:)

What a day

Woke up in a lot of pain....decided I was not going to let it stop me.

Work was crappy...it seems to always be crappy lately. Today we were short-handed. To some that means picking up the extra slack others that means taking advantage of the situation to be a bigger bitch than normal.

A nasty ass storm hit late this afternoon while I was still at work. It was horrible. Very heavy/ hard rain with strong winds. Lots of commotion. It took a toll on our store's roof and the rain poured in. It only lasted about an hour.

Work became even crappier afterwards....I had to work late while my boss went home early. Doesn't sound fair--well it seems to be in my life.

The feeling of getting in my car and driving away from work today was one of those priceless moments. I cranked up the radio, rolled down the windows and let the day drift away :) Sometimes you just have to!

At age 25

Like and I'll give u an age to repost

bad day

I had a bad day today....I can not seem to let things slid off my back. I hold on to every negative thing said to or about me.

That was yesterday and it seems today will be another helping of the same.....

I want to write more but it seems I need to be doing something else for someone else as always....

teenagers.....ugh part 2

So it's summer break and both my teenagers were home all day yesterday.....I come home last night to a sick full of dirty dishes and a dishwasher full of clean dishes.  The kitchen is a mess, clean clothes needing to be put away and so on. And I got from the kids when I asked what gives? so and so didn't do their part of the job and oh I didn't know you said to do that! W@T@F@!!!

Why is it so hard for them to understand by them not doing their chores it makes life harder from me. I work my ass off for 10-12 hours a day at my job to help take care of them..why can't they take 15 minutes to help me???

UGH OK enough venting for now

teenagers.....ugg

♥ A mom thinks about her kids, even if they're not with her.
♥ A mom loves her kids in a way that they will never understand.
♥ A mom will be there for her kids when no one else will.
♥ A mom loves her kids even when they neglect and hurt her.
♥ A mom will catch a grenade, take a bullet, stand in front of a train, & ask God to take her instead of her child

thus being said....
My children are now teenagers. I've had 5 years of my daughter being a teen and all that go along with having a teenage daughter but my baby boy just turned 13. It was like a trigger was switched on his birthday. I suddenly have no clue about anything. I know he loves me but I feel myself being pushed away. I am going to do my best to work through this new change. My son is a great kid and I am sure he does not mean to hurt my feeling or piss me off. Its a transition that we both will have to learn to get through. 

Memory Lane

I've spent most of this week on facebook with old friends from my younger years remembering the good ol'days. It is so nice to remember back when.....

Don't get me wrong I am happy where I am now. I love my Small Town USA. Its just fun to remember the younger days.

I find myself wanting so hard to remember more of my past but just can not mustard it up.....but being apart of this group/page is helping bring some of those memories back to me. I want to have good memories to go along with the not so good ones I have stuck in my head.

I grew up in Panama City Florida and am very proud of it:) Dirt Road Anthem

Some people always think they are right....

Why is it that there are always those people who think that they know everything!!! Sometimes you do not have a clue what I am talking about thus you can not be the be all end all on the subject!! Let me finish talking and maybe you might be the expert but how will we ever know if you don't be quiet for a moment. Just saying.....
