Happy Halloween

I hope you all have a Halloween filled with fun and frolic, and lots of candy of course! 

I will post a pic later :)

That Post Sucked

I know it and I am sorry, that last post really sucked and ended on such a sour note.  Ick.

I just have a lot going on in my personal life and my head is swimming, so that is why I have a lack of things to write about.

Just bear with me.

Best And Least

Slackermommy wanted to know what I like best about myself and least about myself.  So here goes.

Hmmm, what do I like best about myself.  I think that I am a caring, giving, loving person and I like that about myself.  I like being a nurturer, a helper, a listener.  I like to give advice (when warranted), and I enjoy being a mommy to the kiddos. 

What I like least about myself is that I never ever stick with anything.  I do yoga and quit.  I do Mary Kay, Avon, and Mia Bella Candles and quit.  I get all into it, then I guess I just burn out.  I don't know.  It's a horrible trait.

My First Job

Marla wanted to know about my first job, so here goes!

I have three glasses of wine in me, so sorry if this post is crazy.

My first job was at Stern's in The Gallery mall in Philadelphia.  I worked in the men's department at first, then got promoted to the cosmetics department.

I took the train every day to get there.  I thought I was the shit.  Working in the city.  I loved it.  It was one of the best jobs I ever had.

I ended up working at the Revlon counter (can you believe there was a Revlon counter back then), but there was, and it sold much cooler things than you could get at the CVS. 

I remember working with really nice women, and my manager was pretty cool too, but the rest of Stern's thought we were a bunch of snobs.  We weren't at all.

The only bad thing about Stern's was that if you wanted to get your discount, you had to use the Stern's charge card to get it.  That was my first credit card.  It's been downhill ever since.

Spending beyond my means buying Guess jeans and Puegot watches.  Nice pantyhose and stupid nik naks that I didn't need.  Bad, bad, bad.

But honestly, I loved my time at Stern's.  That was one of the best years of my life.  I met so many wonderful people, of all different backgrounds.  It was cool!

What Did I Get Pierced?

I got a few comments yesterday wondering what I got pierced, so if you don't already know...nipple!

Freezing

I cannot believe this weather.  It went from beautiful sunny skies and warm, to rainy and cold.  Ick.  It bums me out a little.

I hate having to take the kids to school in the rain, especially when we only have two umbrellas to share. 

Can you tell I have absolutely nothing to say, since I am talking about the weather?

How about this.  To try to spark something to write, ask me a question that you would like to know about me. 

Themes And Randomness

I love how every once in a while Typepad likes to add new themes to the mix.  I get bored pretty easily, so change is fun for me.  What do ya think?

I am feeling good.  Went to the shrink yesterday for my med management, and didn't tell him that I went off the Zoloft.  I was so worried he would yell at me or something.  So he wrote me another prescription for it, whatever.  I just won't fill it.  Can they find out if you didn't fill your script? 

Last night I had a great time with my mom.  She picked me up and took me to her place.  We had dinner and wine and talked for hours.  I really enjoyed myself.

So here we are, another week trying to figure out what to do for Self Portrait Challenge.  I could take a picture of what I am making tonight for dinner...Muffaletta.  Ever have it?  It's really good.  Hooray for my Giada recipe book.  We always enjoy her dishes.

The kids are good.  They were so cute eating breakfast this morning.  I need to take some more pics of them. 

Oh just some random thoughts for today...

Taking It One Day At A Time

After my last post, I have done quite a bit of thinking.  And Hubz and I have done a lot of talking.  Why isn't life fun now, and what can we do to make it fun.

We are going to figure it out and all will be fine.  I can't relive my past.  I can't get those years back.  We just need to figure out the now and the future. 

Life Was Fun Then

I know today is usually my self portrait day, but I just haven't gotten a chance to do it, and I really don't know what I am going to do.  Any suggestions?

I must say I am still reeling over the band reunion.  I was watching the dvd that we got there, one of the band competitions we were in, crying my eyes out the next day.  Hubz comes down and asked me why I was crying, and I told him, "That is when life was fun."

I have really been thinking about that lately.  Life was fun then.  What the hell happened?  Why isn't life fun now?  Is it all of the responsibility that I have now?  Is it that I feel stuck at home?  Is it that I feel guilty when I go out, like Hubz is babysitting or something?  What the hell is it?  I need to figure it out and soon.

I go to bed at 8pm almost every night because I am bored.  Isn't that pitiful?  I am not depressed, I can tell you that.  Ever since I went off of the Zoloft I feel a lot more like myself.  Maybe that is it.  I am now feeling more like my old, raring to go self, that I am just not happy.  Do I have to be a zombie to be happy?  I sure hope not, because I don't like who I am when I am a zombie. 

I am bored, yet I don't want to do anything.  I am not a big TV watcher, I don't feel like reading a book, etc.  This is a horrible way to be, and I need some suggestions on what to do. 

Help.
