Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
I Got My Nose Pierced!
****
I feel like I've been floating on a cloud all day. Happy,
happy, joy, joy. It's weird. I think being happy is a
conscious decision I just haven't been making lately. I
should rely less on my meds and more on myself. Wow, what
an epiphany...
The weather was amazing today! So balmy for a January day.
Compared to the snow, hail and sleet we had just a week or
so ago. I'll take it. I didn't feel like my ass was going
to freeze off. The sun was out, it was great. I think that
really helped improve my mood. It's amazing what nice
weather can do.
I'm so proud of myself. Finally, I got around to washing
my car. It wasn't white anymore. It was two-toned. Off
white on top, brown from the door handles down. Sad, just
sad. Annie was starting to draw pictures in the grim.
Little stick figures have no business on the side of my
car. So, it had to be done. The nice weather made me do
it. For some reason, I don't mind driving around in a
filthy car when the weather's crap, but the second the sun
comes out, it must be pristine. I'm so anal at times.
You'll never guess what I did today...I got my nose
pierced! No, I didn't get the bull ring thing or anything
drastic like that. I just got a little sparkly stud in the
left nostril. I've been wanting one for years and today,
just spur of the moment, Gen and I went to Golden Rule and
I got it. $60 later, I've got a stud in my nose! It wasn't
at all painful. Okay, that's a lie, but it wasn't THAT
painful. It really made my eyes water, but once the
initial stick was over, the pain was over. Unless I flare
my nostrils. Then I'm reminded.
Because I had nothing else to do, I ended up picking Annie
up from school. Something I never do (she usually goes to
daycare). Man, I wish I hadn't. I got bombared by not only
her current teacher, but also her 1st grade teacher. I
loved Annie's 1st grade teacher. She was the best teacher
Annie has ever had. Preschool until now. Annie thrived in
her class. Now, Annie is saying she hates school. She
doesn't want to do her homework, she won't get dressed in
the mornings. It's sad, really sad. School used to be
Annie's favorite thing. So, Ms. McMahon said that Annie
can come to her class in the mornings and spend time with
her, so she'll at least feel like she's got a friend
amongst the teachers. Apparently Ms. Beck (Annie's current
teacher) isn't a favorite amongst the faculty, either.
But, Ms. McMahon said that off the record. I'll see to it
that Annie gets to school earlier in the mornings, so she
gets to see Ms. McMahon more. Maybe that will improve the
way she feels about school again. Ms. Beck came up after
I'd been talking with Ms. McMahon for awhile and commenced
to ream Annie for being unfocused, inattentive and rude. I
wanted to smack the bitch. She even chastized Kiki, which
was over the top. Kiki was hanging on Annie's backpack
while the bitch was laying into her. So, she told Kiki
to "Stop that sweety, I'm talking to your sister." All
while wagging a finger at her. I nearly broke it. But, I
composed myself. This school year is almost over. I don't
have to see her too many more times.
After that, I took them to the gym with me. I had a good
workout and even chatted with one of the other mothers
there. It was nice having someone to talk to while working
out. Definitely passes the time alot quicker.
I still haven't gotten the house cleaned. I'd meant to do
it today, but Gen and I ended up hanging out. Now I'm on
AIM with Jeremy and I don't feel like cleaning and typing
intermittently. I'm still very much up on the fence about
the whole Jeremy thing. I did vow to be faithful to
Snookums, if it ain't worth risking something wonderful,
then why risk it? Why does this happen everytime Snookums
leaves for any length of time? Am I going to end up like
all the other trashy wives that cheat on their husbands
the moment the ship pulls anchor? God, I've got to be
stronger than that.
So, that was my day. I'm signing off now. I think I'll say
goodbye to Jeremy so I can go to bed now, too. I'm sleepy.
Ciao.
