Things gave been crazy the last couple of weeks and I have neglected to blog about my sons football team. The finished regular season in tied for first! How exciting, tied for first turned into second place because only one other team lost a game and we lost to them so it made us second in a round about kinda way. The last two weekends have been playoff games and we won both of those! This weekend in the we have the WCPW Championship game and it will be a match up against the team we lost our one game to. It should be a really good game, the boys are pumped and ready to go. I wish them the best of luck, they have worked really hard this season and I certainly would love to seem the advance to the next round which would be the state championships, then to the Regionals and after Regionals is the Pop Warner Super Bowl in Orlando Florida!! But right now, they just need to focus on this weekend's game.
Okay..It's Over
Well the Presidential Election is over and we now have a new President in 2009. I hope this change will be a good thing for the people of the United States. I don't know much about politics and never claimed to there for this post will not be politically themed..The point of this post is more in frustration than anything else.
The media has made Barack Obamas election a part of history and I have to agree with that but only 50% of me feels that way. As our new President to be is only 50% black. The campaign was based on being the first African American man being President. They used it and used it well BUT as far as I am concerned he should have embraced ALL of his roots, black and white. I mean, how do you forget who you are, how can you just right off your white roots. I am sure that I am not the only person that feels this way. How many of those new voters only voted because he was a "black man"? A whole lot I imagine...
With that said, I must say that I hope he does bring change. Granted it won't happen over night and it will take a lot of hard work but somethings do need to be changed in this messed up country of ours. I wish him good luck as our new President.
Now it is time for me to drive my tired ass back to work and go shopping. They are letting me get some new office furniture ! How exciting...umm...not really but I can at least fake it!
Tomorrow is Halloween
So it has been a few days since my last post. I have been getting ready for Halloween and since Halloween is my favorite holiday of all it takes me a lot of time to get ready. I heard there are a lot of kids that come around out neighborhood, my neighbor figured there was somewhere around 300 last year! Holy crap, I have never seen so many kids before but I am prepared and ready to go! Plenty of candy and no I have not eaten any of it! Haven't even opened the bags yet. I certainly don't want to hit the fat burner machines a lot this weekend! I still have a few more things to do outside but as soon as I am all done the yard front yard I will post pictures.
We will have our annual Halloween party at work tomorrow, this is always interesting, to say the least. Some of my coworkers dress up and they come up with some interesting outfits. We have a group that usually does a theme. One year they dressed up like the Jetson family and it was pretty neat. Others though, they don't have such great ideas, one of our Directors wore a blow up fat ballerina suit and the damn thing had boobs, it just really looked wrong on a guy! Our owner has a Frankenstein costume, complete will stilts. He wears it every year and walks around outside in it. (We have 2 buildings, corporate and manufacturing, he works in the corporate building which is a 2 minutes walk away) He gets a lot of looks from the people driving by and besides that all the people that work in his building that dress up have a little parade over to out side of the street, it is a sight to see.
Funny Shirts?!
I was checking out this site called Roadkillshirts.com today. Very interesting I must say, they carry a large line of funny t-shirts, if you are into that type of thing. Me personally, NO; I guess I wouldn't be caught dead wearing anything like:
This is one those shirts you would see some obnoxious 20 something and thirty something year old punk wearing. Hell I have seen older men wearing crap like this! You know which one I am talking about, we see them every day. But I guess it is not for me to say what someone can wear. If you are into this type of thing or have a friend or relative who is check out this site. Some of the shirts are pretty funny, just not MY style. I guess I will go and eat my lunch now, seeing as that is what I came home to do!
I Am So Tired
Sometimes I wish life was perfect, sometimes I wish I could say I love life, when in fact I don't.
My son drives me crazy and I often wonder what I did wrong do deserve such a nightmare of a child. For the first time in 13 years I am saying "I hate my son". Some of you may think I am a bit harsh and cruel, when in fact my son is that person. He is mean to people, rude, selfish, uncaring and he acts like a complete asshole. Quite honestly, I don't know how much more I can take. He was suspended from school last week. I fight for him tooth and nail and he gets kicked off the bus this week. He makes me look like a bad mother and I can't stand it anymore. I am so embarrassed by him and he doesn't even care. As I sit her typing this post, the reality has set in for me. I hurt so much inside by saying that it has brought tears to my eyes. This is because at the same time I love him and I have tried to do everything I can for him, all I get in return is shame and embarrassment.
Other parents must think that I am a monster, I mean is the misconception that we have raised our kids this way. We must condone the behaviors and we must not care. For me that is not true at all. I didn't ask to have my son grow up and be a, well, an asshole. I didn't teach him to behave this way, so why does he do this??? It is one thing after another and it feels like it will never stop..
I wish, I wish that I could go to sleep, wake up and have my nightmare come to an end..
Tomorrow though, I will wake up and my nightmare will just continue for another day.
