Hurricane or Tropical Storm
Either one is rough, but it is coming through. All the schools are closed today, and I will be staying home. I really have to get to the grocery store first thing this morning though. Rain or no rain. The storm is suppose to be at full force at 2p.m. At least that's what it said last night. I'm going now to check on the news.

HI!
I have chosen not to post much this week. Our tragedy has effected me, along with the classes that I am teaching that ALWAYS wears me out! Nice group of young men this time. A bit more realistic and they seem to be able to see more long term than some of the classes. I have a few concerns, but none that could not be worked out.
Well, again it is time to get the girls up........and get on with my day. I feel better than usual....I took one of Leroy's Claritin's last night. I don't know why allergy pills taken at night would make me feel better in the morning. I don't have allergy's. Maybe it helps me sleep better or something........oh well, long as it works. They cost too much to take all the time though ;-), and I don't have my own 'script for them.

Negativity
Leroy spends more and more time outside, maybe he always did, I don't know. It just seems like I need him more in the evenings now to help me with the kids, and he chooses to be outside talking to which ever man in the neighborhood is out there. So when I need him, he's not there. Then, first thing in the morning he want to bring up that Leighanne was across the street on a neighbor's porch putting dry dog food from the floor on the porch into the dog's water. I indicated that that is NOT the way I want to start the morning. He wasn't here to deal with problems last night, and I don't want to start my day with negative issues. Now "I" am accused of being self center. "I" who get up at 5:30 each morning to prepare his breakfast and lunch. "I" who make sure dinner is made even when sometimes it is all I can do to stand up. I work a full day just like he does.
When I went outside yesterday he told me that his recent supervisor was a good guy. This is the same man he had been having problems with. I indicated to him, when he was having the issues with the supervisor, that maybe if he would attempt to look at the situation differently he may see something differently.
His attitude sucks lately. Of course, some of this could be explained by the emotional strain of finding how just how far progressed my liver damage was, and of course me attending several AA mtgs a week, but I am having to deal with these issues just like he is. If he is not part of the solution, he is part of the problem. If anything I need a little help now, where maybe I didn't before.
He goes to the Liver Doc today to see how he is. I go to court. If you don't know what I am talking about with the court thing, read the last half of May and start on June.
Well, today is picture day at school, and I have to do the girl's hair.

Monday, Monday
I am teaching my class of noncustodial parents this week. As I have spoken of before I teach them, job readiness and life skills. This time I am making sure that I try to get them to get tested for Hep C. They are strong, young men and if they got tested now they would have time to make certain life style changes that could contribute to their long term health.
In the meantime, this class is wearing me out! It is always makes me tired, but I am really feeling it this time ;-).
We are having Tuna Helper tonight and I am adding Broccoli (how ever that is spelled). I don't know if I want to eat though.

Dinner
Okey Dokey, you can find out all about our Beef Sausage Dinner if you want to. George helped me cook again as usual. He made the Oatmeal cookies and the corn bread. Every thing is cooking right now. The whole dinner only takes about 45 minutes and that includes cutting veggies for the salad and all. Little by little I will start replacing my meat with firm veggies like eggplant, broccoli, etc. They say all raw veggies are the way to go, but I have to take it slow ;-).
I'm going to bed early tonight ;-)

News about Joy
Well........Joy has been in touch on a pretty regular basis. Last time we talked, the asshole cussed and hung up the phone. I called back. I am sorry Joy has to go through what she is going through, but she will never learn otherwise I guess. Hard Head! Later on she will regret this decision so badly and it will bring so much pain to her. It is SO sad. I screwed up so much shit when I was young, and now I get to sit back and watch my daughter do the same freakin' dumb ass stuff.
Dinner is simple tonight. I will put it on my dinner page ;-)

Good
Last night when I tried it the carrot juice tasted kind of weird, but this morning it tastes good! About 4 carrots and an apple. Getting the kids to like it is another story. I just have to keep giving it to them like I do with other Veggies and stuff. Now I am a meat and potatoes girl, so this is all kind of weird to me........but we do what we have to do ;-).
Leroy went yesterday to help a friend and is not home yet. The truck hub blew off one time, then next time I talked with him they had fixed that and were about a hundred miles away going to pick up a transmission for the other guys truck, then at 4:30 a.m. I called him and they were outside of Gainesville coming back this way. I have no idea where he is now, but I am starting to get worried.

An Award
Well someone gave me an award for this site, but we must keep in mind that the template was done by a great talent at Point of Focus. I am an beginner who really enjoys this, but I want to make sure folks get credit. Also....my buddy Daniel did my heading for me. I just talk and add tons of stuff I like ;-).
I need more coffee now, and maybe a couple of Aleve ;-)

Night, Night
Well, most of today has been a good day. I am tired now, but I deserve to be. I gave a full day's work, got home, let the kids run me crazy, went to church and now I will do some posting, some reading, take a nice hot, oily, bath and hit the sack.
Leroy is with a friend helping him move his truck or something. I don't get as upset as I used to when he stays out with friends. It's not like he's messing with women. He needs his space too. I like to go to meetings, church and mess with my computer......he likes to help folks, work in the shed, fix cars, etc. I guess we are pretty normal. Comfortable. OH........and guess what happened last night?!?!?!? I'm not telling ;-)!

First cup of coffee.....
If I can just get this first cup of coffee down, I will have it made. DID NOT want to get up this morning. Have made Leroy's breakfast and a couple of sandwiches for him for lunch. Boys are up and ready, now it is time to get the girls up. Jamila (8) picks out her own clothes now, and does her own thing except for her hair. Soon I will take a picture of that child's hair and let you know what I have to deal with! I have to do most everything for Lee Lee, but her hair is not that hard to do. I have to dress Destiny still, she can basically do it, but it always ends up backwards and inside out. Isn't that weird? I wonder what the odds are of clothes ALWAYS ending up backwards and inside out.
I have not heard from my friend Daniel in a while. I guess he's a big shot Microsoft Technician now and doesn't have time for his blogger buddy ;-)!!! I'm teasing of course. I have met such wonderful folks on the Internet. One, I had talked to for years, Al, he is an older man who lives up North. Anyway.....I have not heard from him in a while and I am worried. Seems like if you have friends online, and something should happen to you.....a person should instruct their family how to inform those friends. Are we any less friends because we don't see each other in person, I think not. In a lot of cases you even share more with your Internet friends. I'm not sure why ;-).
Well I have been typing 10 minutes and I have girls to work with. Hope your day is good. I'm starting out slow........like a train (I like trains)......but I am going to pick up steam soon ;-)!

Hectic Life.......FOR REAL
Yesterday we had a fund raising luncheon for my job (which is with a nonprofit organization for those who don't know). It was great but totally wore me out and all I did was show folks to their seats. I am extremely busy at work and that is not too bad a thing. I like my job, on good days. In the afternoons, I really can't think clearly enough to get much done though ;-)!!
Well, I am off to a meeting. They put me on this Policy Board for Head Start. I know I will not be able to attend much, but I have to do my community thing ;-)!
I have to fix all these pages Saturday or Sunday. My background and banner is gone from my photosite, but that's okay, I'll fix it. Also my dinner page is messed up. Have to work on it and add a dinner someone sent me ;-). Want to try to get some sun too before I go on my medication. They say it makes you not be able to tolerate sun.
Anyway.............see ya'!!!!!!

From A Friend
Another day is passing and I'm going crazy. The kids are acting nuts and if I can get through without burying one in the back yard I will be okay. My back hurts, and I am tired, but mentally I feel okay. Work was busy and I got NOTHING done. Tomorrow is our BIG fundraising luncheon.
Georgie baked a chocolate cake and I want to eat the whole thing BAD!!! With Milk.......

Brighter Day
I am so encouraged. I contact the web master of the best Hep C site and she sent me the most encouraging email. I feel really great about it!! I will put more detail on the 12 step site as I am trying to keep my regular stuff here separate from my Cirrhosis and AA stuff.
Anyway........Dinner was steak, corn on the cob, and Rice a Roni (the San Fransico treat!). My Girls are bathed, hair washed and smelling good, Leroy stained the trim on the shed today, and I rested quite a bit. Watched the dumbest movie I ever saw. Forgot the name.
I'm happy!!

Slept In This Morning
Destiny has had a temp for the since Friday night. Guess her "Periodic Fever Syndrone" is kicking in. I got up at 5 a.m. and gave her Tylenol, and was even able to sleep until 9 a.m. myself today. I would really like to go to Hillsborough River State Park today and take the kids on a nature walk. I don't want to go if Leroy won't go though, so we will have to see.
I have to go grocery shopping this morning too! Dang we eat a lot around here!
