Weekend Wrapup...

BOOM!

That’s what my head feels like today. It is not often that I drink for the sole purpose of getting drunk. However, this past weekend I made an exception and went out on a limb. A very long limb. Saturday was a great night. I don’t have many nights like those. Let’s just say I’m feeling ill but I can’t wait to do it again… don’t ask.

Don’t worry. My daughter went with her Grammy and Papa to their lake house. I might have a few wild nights every once and a while but rest assured that my child is taken care of before the wildness begins.

She loves the lake. I think she would rather be there with them than be at home with me. I think they like having her there too. It’s just an added bonus that I can venture out without her every once and a while.

I passed up a night out with my co-workers on Friday. I can’t say that I’m all too happy about it. I absolutely love hanging out with them but had some stuff to take care of. My kid comes first.

Over the years I have enjoyed getting to know who they are outside of our busy work environment. I like being able to let loose and talk about things other than child support mumbo jumbo. I am thankful that I have family at work that I have been able to build relationships with. Yes, sometimes those relationships are had over an ice cold Corona or a jager-bomb but that’s alright with me. I think our next “family outing” will be a Karaoke night! Can’t wait!

Even after an exciting albeit somewhat tiring weekend, I feel accomplished and well satisfied. How was your weekend?

Stay Tuned…

A Break....

I need a break.... from a lot of things. I know what you are thinking. Explain. I just can't quite put it into words. There are not enough to express the love for my daughter. Miss Kyleigh Paige is 3 1/2 and her attitude justifies her age...

I love her beyond belief. Yes, she gets on my nerves sometimes. But I wouldn't trade her for anyone one else. The other day she was arguing with me and I asked her if she would like a spanking or if she would like me to sell her on eBay.... She kept crying and said, "Mommy, please don't sell me on eBay?!" I'm sure she doesn't even know what eBay is....

When I was growing up, even through high school and college, my mom always told me that she prayed every night for God to let me have a daughter that would be just like me. Well my friends, he answered her prayer. As much as I would like to think otherwise, Ky is EXACTLY like me in every way. Sometimes it's cute; other times I wish I could turn back time and make myself not so stubborn. This morning I had to pop her on the bottom and for the rest of the hour, she said I was 'NOT her best friend!'

Even though some days I could pull my hair out, my world would be incomplete without her.

This past week I had a dream that someone was making me give her up for adoption. Now, this wasn't an adoption where I had her and the adoption took place when she was a baby. No. Someone made me give her up for adoption at the age she is now.

I can't describe the noise of the screaming as they were taking her away from me. She was kicking, screaming, and crying for me. This is not something that I wanted to do, even in my dream. I cried as if my world was ending. The woman that was taking her told me that she would keep in touch with me and send me updates on how she was doing. Yet she never did. I waited for hours and still heard nothing. The next day the lady returned to my house with Kyleigh in tow. She had all of her bags still packed as if she was returning an unwanted item bought at a garage sale. She told me that she really couldn't handle her so I should take her back. What a relief...


After I woke up from this nightmare I went and got Ky and brought her to my bed. I vowed from that day on that I won't joke about selling my kid.... I'll save the comedy for people who are not my offspring...

Randomness

I can't believe it has been so long since I've blogged... I'm hoping to be more successful at it this year.


There are many things that I wished I could have completed in 2010.


I would love to get further along with my book. I seem to get going on a good roll and then end up getting serious writer's block. There are just so many directions to point the characters in. I sometimes wonder how authors create such intriguing characters and evolve such adventurous stories. Hopefully, I will write something that people will enjoy reading.

My best friend moved back to Texas (temporarily) in December. I hate that I haven't had a chance to make a trip to see her. She has two of the most precious babies that I DO consider my nephews; even if we technically don't share the same blood. They will forever be in my life.

I think I would like to sing again. No, not just in the shower. Music used to be my passion in life. Now it seems as though that passion has faded and I'm a fuddy-duddy. I'd like to think I still have the voice to sing. Maybe, maybe not... who knows?

I would LOVE to be a standup comedian. Though people might think otherwise... Either that or a clown... HA...

In 2011, I would like to see more of my friends.

I want to experience things that are outside of my dreams. If you've read any of my previous blogs, my dreams are wacky fo-sho!

I guess that's a short one for my return....

Stay tuned....
