Saturday

Leroy and I went to the flea market this morning and had a little fun. It was really HOT, but we wore straw hats. Was really tired when I got home so I watched Miss Congeniality and Meeting the Parents. They were fairly good movies. I was going to cook, but now have made up my mind to go to a meeting so I will not have time. Guess they can have sandwiches ;-).

Haven't worked much on my cooking site, and I'm a little disappointed with myself..........it will be okay though.

I am making a video of the the world as I see it ;-). I am getting quite self centered lately ;-). I wish there was some way all my siblings could get together. I called my sister Sherry and brother Billy the other evening. Paula and I talk more. I am so glad I have her in my life now!!!! Such a wonderful young woman with a wonderful family. Well, if I am gonna go, I better go get myself together. Hope you are having a nice evening. God is Good and all is well............

Good Morning

I wish I didn't count down until every weekend. That makes it seem like I don't appreciate the week days........but I am just SO happy when it is Friday!!! And NOW.......I am going to drink my lightly flavored hazel nut coffee with lots of sugar and a little cream....and it is.......goooooood.

What's in your Name? - Demonstration Analysis

Dummy

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your name of Dummy has given you a desire for self-expression and for positions that allow contact with people, free from the restrictions and monotony into which you are often drawn. Although you desire to be spontaneous and natural, you are often drawn into technical and methodical lines of endeavour and the incidentals of life. You are friendly by nature, but you cannot enjoy complete ease in association because of a difficulty in expressing yourself. While you can be exacting and thorough in whatever you decide to undertake, and desire to keep a well-ordered life with everything in its place, it is not easy for you to maintain the system and order you would like. There is conflict between your desires and your expression which does not allow scope for your capabilities. This lack of fulfilment of your deeper qualities tends to create repression and frustration. You enjoy sweet, rich foods, as well as meat and starches, and any indulgence would create skin disorders or possible intestinal trouble or growths.

Got this link from Miguel's site . He had put in the name "Wino" so I thought I would let them analyze a more Noble sounding name. What do you think?
Hi there

Things going well here. Have gotten a lot of work done, but truly need to work on some letters to go out to an apt. complex where I will be teaching a basic computer class once a week, for an hour. Just general typing and things. I will have to get with someone at one of the vo tech schools for some basic stuff. I think it will be a lot of fun!

Leroy and I are kind of on bad terms. I think I misunderstood something he said this morning, but it sounded confrontational so I accused him of attacking me. It was just his tone of voice. We were talking about the kid's rooms being messy and he said something like "Well you never let me handle the situation", and that is just not true. As a matter of fact I depend on him to help me with the kids because I am totally outnumbered. He is so seldom home anymore. He gets home about 7, eats, goes outside to work on whatever is out there, and that is it. So he really has not been helping as much as I need him to. He says I am getting mean. I admit, I got a little defensive, but I really just don't feel like agueing about ANYTHING. We are going to have to talk this one out. This is not one we can let go......maybe we will find time tonight.

Have hamburger meat layed out at home. Have no clue what I am going to do with it ;-)

Dinner

Well, last night I made Chicken Soup . Sometimes I go all out with my cooking, but most of the time I do it the easy way. All these kids I've got will probably not like it as much if I make it too good **grin**. No really, this soup was great. It takes very little effort, but I would suggest croutons to on it.
News Flash

This guy that Leroy worked with was arrested. He used to come over here sometimes and he got on my nerves. He was loud and irratating. Not that loud really bothers me, shoot my hold household is loud. But this guy really got on my nerves. Leroy and his other friend John took this guy home one night (Art is his name). He got in a big fight with his girlfriend and his girlfriend's son (about 15) got in his face and the guy beat him up. He went to jail for that too, but got out and the girl took him back. Anyway.....at dinner tonight Leroy told me the guy had went to jail, so we looked him up on the Internet and sure enough.....he was arrested for trying to rob a bank with a gun. In Florida, that's a minimum mandatory sentence of 20 years. What an idiot! Who trys to rob a bank now-a-days? I'll tell you........just idiots. Reason for it........Rock Cocaine of course. Rock Cocaine will make a person do the stupidest shit! I will say......I feel sorry for him.....it will be a long time before he's free. Wait........he's my age or just about.......40 years old......automatice 20 years, with NO chance of getting out sooner........DAAAANNNNGGG.....can you imagine. Drugs.----------------------He also drank quite a bit. I asked him last time he was over here, about a month ago, if he wanted to go to a meeting. You know alcohol makes you do stupid stuff too. MMmmmmm.........I think I am crazy enough without anything to make me crazier.
Court

Well, I went to my arraignment today.........if you don't know about my wild jail ride, read May 19th through June whatever. Anyway.....I pled not guilty and go back to court on September 11th. The public defender said "no victim, no case", and with Joy in Oregon that is not a worry right this minute. Although I don't believe she would actually follow through if she were here. Then, again, who knows. This whole thing has been weird.

I go to the Liver Dr. tomorrow. I will talk about those issues in my twelve step blog to keep this one disease free. Hey, that's kind of funny------disease free blog (alcoholism and cirrhosis are both diseases)-------that kind of sounds like I have a healthy blog and a diseased blog, when I actually think my "diseased blog" has more "recovery" than this one ****BIG GRIN****. Oh, that's funny........mmmmmmmmmmm........guess you'ld have to be here.

I made chicken soup yesterday, and I have to put it on my new site. That's an easy one and good too! I am making breakfast for dinner tonight. The kids LOVE that!

Well, think I will go see if my buddy Daniel won the Kentucky lottery or power ball or whatever that thing was called.......wonder if he would blog if he won........???????

Sunday

Well, we already hit the Friday service (which is the same as the Sunday morning), so we are off to the beach. I'm a little tired this morning, but I want to get all the fun in I can before I go on medications (which may be Tuesday). Don't know how the side effects are going to be.

Lee Lee is looking over my shoulder while I am typing. She is amazed that I can type and not look at the keyboard. The fingers kind of move on their own ;-)

Better lay out something for dinner before I go.........How does chicken sound???

Dinner and Recipe Site

Lots of the stuff I cook, I use frozen and mix stuff so I don't really think I can do an excellent recipe page......unless I can get people to send me recipes---I try them---and then put them on my site. I have a main page started with a link to the right---over there, but there is what's for dinner tonight.

I will be adding email links to all pages and hope folks send me (simple and good) recipes that I can share with folks. Lots of those recipe sites are too complicated. Know what I mean!
Brighter Day

I am so GRATEFUL to feel good today!! Had a rough couple of days ;-) (I am going to have to get me a smiley icon to use......I want a cute one though.....email it to me!)

Back with the groceries, forgot the coupons as usual, Mayfield Ice Cream was on sale, buy one---get one free, that is a savings of 5 bucks! I bought Turles and Moose Tracks.

I am waiting to try it!! I want to do the Moose Tracks first! Want some????????
Stuff Added

Okay, I added the guestbook twice.......now maybe folks will sign it! SIGN THE GUESTBOOK, IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SIGNED IT, SIGN IT AGAIN. Ha ha ha ah.............mark you location on the WORLD MAP!!! lololol

I'll fix this thing when I get back from the grocery store. Let me see......I have a coupon for Sudafed, Wishbone Salad Dressing, and I must have thrown the rest away.....knowing I was not going to use them ;-)!!

I sent my Brother In Law Dwight a money order earlier this week and a postcard showing women's titties.......they have a lot of those kind of cards in Florida ;-)! Dwight is in a safe place.......I am going to send him another postcard today or maybe some pictures. I've been in his place before and wished that folks would send me stuff ;-).

Well..........off I go!
Good Morning!

Leroy is taking Jake, George, and Jamila to dump all that stuff I cleaned out of the back yard 3 weeks ago, and I am taking Lee Lee and Destiny to the grocery store.

I am trying to add some stuff back to this blog, that I took off when I was trying to find out what was wrong with it a couple of weeks ago........so here goes.........

Bullshit Analyzer

WARNING! This site contains 150% bullshit.
Bullshit score: 15p
mmmmmmmm, this thing acting crazy again ;-)
Better night

Church was good, the Pastor preached on GRACE. How there was nothing we can "do" to get to heaven or for God to love us. It is His gift to us, all we have to do is receive it, and believe it ;-)

We had sundae's after church. Now I am tired, but I can stay up as late as I want and sleep late in the morning ;-)
TGIF

Did Taco Bell for dinner, not quite so tired as usual. Gonna go to church tonight. Have dwelt on negative stuff 'til it's running out my ears. Leroy is not home yet, so I don't know if he is going. I need it. Need some peace from my weird mind........tad depressed, but it will be okay........I hide it pretty good ;-).

Have to go to court on the Joy thing Monday morning. Dwelling on that too. Really need to talk to Leroy more, but I don't want to get him all screwed up mentally too. I am grateful though..........I have tons to be grateful for. Glad I found that message board on Delphi.com..........no one has called me crazy there yet ;-).........no one in AA either............

Ah well...................need to catch my second wind to be able to go to church ;-)

Wow

Had some bad news yesterday and didn't do any blogging. I have said I will save all my medical and AA stuff to my twelve step site and I will. What folks really want to know here in Jamie's Crazy Hectic Life is what is happening related to work or home, right??? So.......

What's for Dinner

Turkey ham, mashed potatoes, salad, some veggie (don't know which yet) and probably biscuits.

Me

I am more tired than usual lately and have so much to keep up with. My house is messier than usual and I don't have the energy to beat the children into helping keep it clean. I would give ANYTHING (almost) just to have someone keep up with the laundry for me. Jake usually does it, but there is so much other stuff around here that needs to be done. When I had so many kids, I had no idea I would run out of energy midstream ;-)

Work is going well.

Well, I better peel this potatoes :-)

Work

Work has really been getting consuming. People, reports, numbers, goals, statistics, employers.......... I have been here a long time and really have built the Career Resource Center from the basics, more staff means more details, more data to process. We are dealing with people, assisting them to find jobs, but for our funding sources we have to have demographics and be able to subdivide people numerous ways. Since we are a nonprofit and don't have big money to have an already formed tracking system, I have to set it up. Luckily, I have a good intake (data entry) person who is detail oriented and understands why the data is so important. The correct data that is. Well I have time for a cigarette before the Employability Skills Training class is over. I have to meet with at least one of the clients, and refer them out for postions available.
