My uncle is dying. Probably in the next couple of days. He's in FL, along with my parents and aunt and another uncle. I can't believe I won't see him again, alive.

Current Mood: depressed

10:19 pm - Life and times at 8 Mile.....

Damnit to Hell!! There has been a main hot water pipeline break, which caused all the hot water in the boiler(?) to empty. So, it has been shut down, until possibly tomorrow afternoon. I hate this fuckin apartment!!!

So, what's good with everyone? I've actually been holding together pretty well, despite the madness. I feel like I'm on the verge of a major meltdown. I know it all revolves around money problems, so I try to keep my cool. My boys are here full-time now and I've only gotten $100 in child support in the past four weeks, as opposed to the $100 per week I should be getting. So, since I don't get daycare assistance, it's killing me. But, they want to be here and I'm not going to force them to stay with their dad. It will take me long enough to get them into a normal, structured routine as it is.
Bleh

Ummm...what else? Oh, my Dad's barber and a long-time friend was murdered.
( Yeah, these things happen in small towns too )

and someone broke into my sister's house. What reason would someone break into someone's house and not take anything, when there's electronics, jewelry and all kinds of other stuff there?? I don't know what exactly he did in there. I told her to check for cameras and check their underwear drawers and such (she's a single mother and she has a 15-year old daughter). Amazingly enough, they've already caught the guy who did it. Guess C-ville PD really can do something right. *shrugs*

Hehe....I think I've pissed off a "gangster" on our little mojo website. LMFAO!! He's a "crip", his profile says "Iam looking for a girl that knows were iam coming from or will ride and die with me. and love me for me no matter what. I live buy the 8 ball and six point star."
Ummmmmmm....yeah! How much free-time do gangsters have these days??

10:07 pm - WTF is going on at McDonald's these days?????

Heh....I found this on one of our local websites with some pretty humorous captions:

“Fuck killing you bastards slowly with shitty food...."


"...and having said that, please welcome our special guest speaker Charlton Heston!"


"Ronald proudly shows off the newest Happy Meal toy for the west end McDonalds"

"MCFUCK YOU AND THE CAR YOU DROVE IN ON---NEXT ORDER PLEASE"

10:21 am - Shhhhhhhhhh...........

I'm 'bout to make an important political statement.

"The president's frequent references to the terrorist attacks of September 11 show the weakness of his arguments,'' House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said. "He is willing to exploit the sacred ground of 9/11, knowing that there is no connection between 9/11 and the war in Iraq.''

NOOOOOOO FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!


ok, that is all......

sorry for the interruption.

01:49 pm - Bleh.....

I hate airbags.....fuckin hate them. The accident would not have been so bad, had I not had them. Oh yeah, if you didn't already know from lothos's journal, I had an accident Saturday. Just barely hit the car in front of me, but both airbags deployed. The passenger airbag busted my windshield (yeah...them fuckers hurt!). Just to clarify, my son (well, both my children) was actually in the back seat. I won't let either in front....well, now I guess it doesn't matter being as I don't have airbags anymore.

Anyway, my oldest son's chest was bruised from his seatbelt. My youngest busted his lip. I was burned by the airbag, on my arms and neck. I have what looks to be the start of a black eye...I hope it stays that way, and my thumb is bruised and jammed pretty badly (I assume from death grip I had on the steering wheel). We've all had headaches since then that just won't quit. My youngest son and I have been having nightmares about it.......I can't even imagine what people in major accidents go through.

I could probably get over it, if my children had not been with me. They were terrified, screaming and crying out for me...as minor as it was, it was still heart-wrenching.

Apparently, this state has laws that pretty much define rear-end collisions as being the car in back's fault. Even when the stupid-ass bitch cut into my lane and immediately hit a truck, and I had nowhere to go, as we were in the middle of traffic. I understand you are supposed to leave enough room to stop, but what can you do when you leave that room and another car fills it?

Anyway, we're all okay. My car has minimum damage. I guess I should be thankful.

06:12 pm - I owe, I owe.......

Whew.....it has been a minute!

Today was my first day back to work since my operation. While I was a little excited to get back, I had no idea how exhausting it would be. I'm hoping that's just the Monday blahs and I won't feel like this everyday. We've been approved for unlimited overtime, so it would really be great to take advantage. I found out today that one of the VP's at our company, a really great guy, has colon and stomach cancer....that sucks ass. He's undergoing chemo, and is still working quite a bit for someone so sick. He looks horrible. :(

So much has happened since my sabbatical, I won't even attempt to remember it all. Just the more significant things.

My aunt passed away, bringing up all sorts of mixed emotions. On the one hand, she did mistreat my grandmother and neglect to care for her to the point that she probably would've died if my parents were not called in to intervene, by social services. See, she was the baby of my mom's family, and has lived with my grandmother for years. My g-ma would not hear of leaving her baby...even after being robbed blind for years, and almost jailed after she wrote $900 worth of bad checks on her account. (yet another occasion where my parents had to step in and pay for all the checks in order to keep my 78-year-old g-ma out of jail!)

On the other hand, however, years ago my aunt developed a brain tumor that could not be completely removed and she has not been the same since. It's hard to really say for sure if her judgment was affected or if she really knew better. The brain tumor is not what killed her, although we're still not 100% sure what did, only that it was natural causes and they feel she had seizures for some reason. I hurt for my grandmother.

In other news, I've been trying to get some kind of assistance in petitioning the court for visitation of my 7-year old cousin, who has been living with her father for the past 2 years. Before my aunt passed away, she was really not doing much about it. After her death, we found out that her daughter has been in a psychiatric hospital for 3 1/2 months!! She's 7 years old, for God's sake......so I had to wonder why in the Hell she would need to be inpatient at a psych hospital for so long! In speaking with her Social Worker (who probably talks a little more than she should), I was told that my cousin was not going to be released to her father. She told me that they had many concerns about her father, not the least of which was the fact that he withdrew her from school 6 months ago and lied about her being home-schooled. She was not being schooled at all...I mean, isn't that illegal??

So began my quest to obtain full guardianship of her, as there are no other family members willing or able to do so. After a week of calling around and finding out what needed to be done, her social worker called me back to let me know the hospital had called her, and were in fact going to release her to her father. It seems CPS has not developed a large enough file on him to justify removing her from his home. I really wish I knew why they were planning to take her away to begin with, but of course that's personal health information, as far as the hospital is concerned.

For now, my goal is to try and get visitations for my grandmother and the rest of the family. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, Social Services did make her father bring her to the funeral and he was such a dick. He would not let her talk to anyone without him standing right there. He wouldn't even let my aunt walk 10 feet away with her to look at pictures of her mother, without him. That, combined with the whole not being in school thing, gives me reason to believe he wants to keep her away from outsiders for some reason. I dunno.

Anyway.....we went to see Unleashed and Crash last night. Crash is fucking awesome!!!! Unleashed is okay.

Okay.....I'm exhausted.

More later......for real!
