yes yes i did...first thing this morning i dropped my cell phone in the toilet....now for some that means little. go get another phone...but it just isnt that simple for me...and the whole day was pretty much equal or more miserable to that....i found one of my cats stumbling around. i think she may have had a little stroke.. i had a cat have a bad one one time, he was in a coma for two weeks but i pulled him through it. she is acting about the same, but not as bad of course. more like when he was recovering. it was really a bad way to wake up...the toilet then the cat...oh and i got up two hours later then planned and twenty minutes before we were supposed to leave so i was not a happy camper. it takes me a little to get going in the morning and if i dont get the time it sarts my whole day off for crap. a skillet fell off the damn pot rack and hit me right between the eyes and gave a good gash across the bridge of my precious little pug nose. i saw stars  and then was devastated to see what it had done...i tripped over something and knocked over the broken halloween tree. the base slipped off the table and hit me in the back of the foot right above my heel....where that tendon runs up the back of your leg...gave a nice painful cut there as well....its not even 9 am yet and i am totally beat to hell...oh and ps on top of it all i couldnt find my glasses this morning and spent the day squinting to see which always gives a nasty little headache...i found them when i got home under my bed way on the back side...finally. it bugged me all day long.

i had to go to socorro...i almost always have to go there around the first of the month, if for nothing else but to get dog food but i had to get baby stuff too so i went with james....he had to pick up a sack of toasted green chili.. thats 40 lbs of roasted peeled and chopped and bagged green chili...so thats great but i had to clean out his freezer this after noon which i hated  to do and it pisses me off how much food the guy just wastes.i mean i decided today i am never going hungry again, its ridiculous he has all that food and i cook here and feed him! ridiculous. i mean he makes ten times as much as me and i feed him. well no more....and i will be eatin that green chili too and i found a whole bunch in the bottom of the stupid freezer..and hes been crying for six months no green chili....you know we live in new mexico we have to have the green chili! daily! anyways

so i went to socorro and did the regular stuff paid a couple of bills and what not...went to mcdonalds for a happy meal. we are collecting the wizard of oz dolls but they were all out of the dolls so i ate at mcdonalds for nothing.. we went and got oliviahs halloween costume and some new shoes. and regular baby stuff...james paid for it thank goodness because i had already told meg i would do it but i really cant afford it...i had a water leak this summer my water bill was well over 200 per month same with electric and then theres cable and food and all that...it just is a tough time...i know not just for me, for everyone, but its really beginning to wear on me and bum me out alot!  i hated being there today. i just drug through getting it all done. just plodded through the day with no desire to be there. it was miserable and seemed we would never get done.  traffic was also very heavy there today for some reason...anyway...

i am afraid i will be in big trouble this winter if i dont get caught up on some of these bills. i had planned to save christmas money for a trip in the spring with the kids. but that is nowhere in sight at this point and i really cant imagine how that will happen with all the recent upheavals around here. and christmas, well i doubt it. very seriously. of course i will figure out something, make alot with the stuff i have on hand, paint something nice for my mom, sew a blanket ofr oliviah, but the others. well i just dont know... i know i am rambling. i just really need to talk it through, and of course you all know i dont talk much in the real world. one thing i have done alot more of lately is laugh. i laugh daily at that crazy little girl oliviah, she is just a little ham. smiles and laughin all the time. just such a happy little character. if she only knew what was going on in her immediate world. thanks to God she does not...

meghan still has found no job, and now has lost another place to live because she cant get along with anyone i swear...she was supposed to come on tuesday and spend a couple of days with the baby but she got kicked out of the place or left in a huff, i cant be sure which...so here we go again.She had to stay there because no money to come here. i really was looking forward to a little break with the baby. i mean shes a fantastic little baby, but ya know...well, its just alot. a baby full time and out of the blue! i enjoy her so much, but i couldve used a little break.  i guess i am just going to spend all my days., taking care of children...i mean theres nothing more honorable but nothing more exhausting and you know it takes forever...i cant remember a day i havent taken care of my own, or somebody elses or my brothers or cousins or something...not a day. in at least 35 years. i am tired. it is making me old too...i have aged alot this last five years and i know alot of it is what i have been through with the kids. particulary the two grown ones which seems absurd. it should get easier not harder...i really want my life back. and i know james is waiting patiently for them to all grow up so we can have a bit of a life together. its always been about the kids...always.and i love my kids. all my heart, believe me but i would like to have something of my own. they eat everything drink everything use up everything and break whats left! i havent had a coke to myself in 26 years and i am not lying! or a glass of iced tea...they hear ice tinkle and hear they come with there mouths open like little helpless baby birds..and of course i give it to them. well i just feel a bit sad and the future for the first time in a long time has me absolutely terrified...the winter will be rough i know and will be long since it was chilly and wet this summer and that scares the hell out of me.this old house is very drafty and the wind just whips thorugh in the winter. also, we have no heat. i mean we do, we burn wood only for heat like most everyone here, but let me tell you if you havent ever had to do it you wouldnt believe how much hard work it is. at first of winter, it always feels nice to start the first dozen fires or so, but then its work and hard work. you have to find it cut it load it unload it stack it , crack it then chop it, which i can hardly do any more...then carry it in stack it again and clean up after it.also, find kindling which is always another drawn out deal in the freezing ass cold. and its constantly a mess. and then the scraps mix with mud and wet stuff from snow and it just is depressing. its not your romantic lay in front of the fireplace and read a book. its work and downright hard work. we use about six cords of wood from october to about end of april when it finally is warm enough just for a sweater or light jacket.we have at this point about 1 and half cords in the yard, and i still have to get alot more. oh and wood has gone way up in price since the cost of gas has gone steadily up, its 398 per gal regular now. so i definately cant afford to buy wood at all this year, 150 cord or more, so we just have to go get it...

 we dress in many layers all winter long. we have often slept with a hat and mittens. oh and you have to get up all night long to feed the fire...and cleaning out the stove, oh my favorite thing to do...well enough of the fireside lament...

 i just dont know what to do....for the first time in a long time there seems no way out. no work no money and no prospects. well, i just need to give it to God , i just do, cuz i dont know what the heck else to do. and i shouldve done it sooner, maybe things wouldnt  be such a mess....and the phone. i saved and saved to get that phone. i just got it two weeks ago and my other one hadnt been working good for a long time. and i need the phone. i live in the middle of nowhere for sheesh sakes. i cant be out in no mans land with a baby and no damn phone. i cant replace it and i dont know when i will be able to. and thats upsettng for me...my birhtdays next month. maybe my dad will send me some birhtday money and i might get one then. unfortunantly  there will be more bills by then and so probly wont be able to get it then either....sheesh...i know i am gonna be up all night worrying about this crap.sorry to burden anyone who might read this with such mundane crap.     but if i dont do it here, i dont do it at all and i need to! so luv yall for putting up with me...and bless ya....

I'm sorry things are so rough.  Keep your chin up!  I can't tell you how many times I've dropped my phone in the toilet.  I thought I was the only one!  lol 

Wishing you good things my friend!
