Parents and money

I am currently 35 years old and you would think that I wouldn't need to ask my Dad for money.  But with my Contract for Deed going south I just couldn't cover those payments.  So do we ever get a point that we get to stop asking our parents for money?  Being in the banking world I know of people in there 40s, 50s and 60s that still need to ask their parents for money so I guess that helps make me feel better.  I just hope that I am not one of those people when I am that age!

Off

Do you ever have one of those days when you are bit off.  Yesterday was like that for me.  I discoverd about 11 that I was a bit off because I had my underwear on inside out.  Just regular cotton undies you would think would not make that much difference but it just didn't feel right.  Not uncomfortable or anything just....not....quite...right.

Accupuncture

I don't care what people say accupuncture really does something.  I don't understand it all but I finally got to try it the last couple of weeks.  Ailments that I thought were sore muscles or bones out of place were no longer ailments after my qi started moving around.  It absolutely just fasincates me and hopefully will get me to a point where I feel normal again.  After having a child I realize there will be a new normal, I am just hoping for more energy, for focus and less anxiety. 

Where were you?

On December 14, 2012 a man walked into an elementary school and shot 26 people.  20 were 1st graders.  It is by far the most emotion I have felt about a global event.  It brings about a lot of questions.  Should people have guns?  How would we even take them all away?  Do people just need to be taught something about guns and killing?  Kids don't really understand where their food even comes from.  They have not seen anything die and wonder why it was it died.  What is the purpose?  Is it necessary?  In 30 or 60 years where will we be.  Living in a small town am I going to have to put bars on my windows?  We don't have to worry about terrorists just each other?  Is more government regulation really the answer?  Or maybe less?  Everyone for themselves.  I don't have the answer.  I know that I am not going to start carrying a gun.  I don't feel like I need to load up on guns. 

Sandy Hook has been touched by evil and I hope they will be stronger for it and not get swallowed up by it.

Listening

I think that all of us need to be reminded every once in awhile that we need to be good listeners.

The stupid people we work with

I try to not get too down on the people that I work with because it becomes intollerable working with them.  But sometimes you just have to vent.  There is a woman who makes about twice as much as I do and the other day she was trying to get a document to me for me to put on letterhead.  First off she can't attach anything to an email, she didn't even know her computer had an on/off switch,...you get the idea.  I don't know why this set me off the other day but really come on.  I asked if she could attach the document that she had typed to an email, from Microsoft Word, and she kept talking about scanning it.  I said that isn't going to work, at least not as well.  She has it right in her computer just send me the f-ing document.  Then she says well I only have the second page not the first.  How the f- can you not have the first page.  Then I asked her if she opened a session and typed the first page and opened a second to type the second.  Like she didn't know that she could just keep going.  I about lost it and told her that she really needed to take a computer class.  I realize that she is up there and I do feel there is a point you are around more for your historical knowledge then being able to keep up, but really you have to at least attempt to keep up.

Kindergarten

My son has started Kindergarten.  I can't believe he is that old.  Now begins the next 13 years of what he will be doing.  He has taken to it like a champ.  One of the aids said he just owns the hallways.  I am glad to hear that he is so confident in a new environment.  He has a small class on a great teacher.  I hope that goes all the way through his school years.  One bad teacher can totally wreck the rest of school so it is great that he is off to a good start and seems interested in what is going on.  I can't believe how much he has learned already.  The other day he counted to 28 without missing a beat.  He only stopped because he was counting steps in the shop and the shop ended.  He loooooooooooves riding the bus.  The other day I was going to pick him up and he wanted to ride the bus home instead so I drove home and waited for him to get off the bus.  He just looks so big.  I do wish now that there was another little one on the way but at the same time I don't need that kind of anxiety in my life when I have just gotten to a point where I sleep through the night.  A much needed thing if I am to keep my sanity!
