Be Careful What You Wish For

I have come to the conclusion that all young men today are pigs...unless proven otherwise. Oh I know there have to be some good guys out there somewhere, but they must be in hiding. I have also come to the conclusion that most likely my daughter will never get married and I am destined to have a pug for a grandchild. Not that I do not love the pug that I have custody of now. Mia is a very sweet little dog. Still a human grandchild would be preferable.
There is just something about young people today that I just don't get!!! The saddest thing of all is I can remember my mother and grandmother saying the same dammed thing about my generation. Still and all, it's just a different world today. Young men and women tend to be very self-absorbed and obsessed with one thing or another. I look at my daughter and wonder where in the hell did we go wrong! We never spoiled her with material things, she went to work at 15 and I picked her up everyday after school and took her to a job where she did hard heavy labor. A little 96 pound girl working at a nursery lifting 50-70 pound pots of plants. She worked hard and kept that job all throughout high school and even worked there her first summer back home from college. She struggled financially that first year in college and worked on campus and even in the evenings working tables at a local diner in the town of Bowling Green, KY. She worked all the way through up until her senior year when things became tougher and she really had no spare time to work. Kristen does not mind hard work and she has always appreciated what she has worked so hard to earn.
Her biggest problem in life is her
poor choices in men. I thought after five years of DICKWEED that she would know what to do when the red flags went up. It's like ignoring the warning flags on the beach when there is a storm and bad undertows. Do you still jump in and ride the waves that are going to take you under? My daughter does! When will she ever learn?
Well, at least she is moving on. Isn't that what I have wanted her to do since DICKWEED? What is that old saying, "BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR." And the other half of that is what you wish for may come back and bite you on the ass!

Busy

I think it has been several weeks since I posted. Not like me to let so much time go by, but here I am at the age of 53 starting a new career, so I have been a bit busy. I have also been trying to rent out my daughter's house...very time consuming.
This is her moving weekend. I guess her dad and I will find ourselves in the mix of helping with all the packing...NO Lifting! She should have plenty of help for that!
Anyway, I am considering not giving the Pug back..ha ha! I hear that the new boyfriend is adverse to letting Mia (pug) sleep in the bed. Mia sleeps with us every night right up next to my tummy, and before that she always slept with Kristen. So...that just isn't right! If nothing else, I will be sharing custody of her! I refuse to let that poor little dog, my granddoggie sleep in a cage!!!

Stress and Worry

I hate it when my daughter does something really stupid based on her emotions at the time. It usually proves to be poor judgement acting out of concern for someone she cares about. Usually a idiot guy!
For the last 3 days I have been nauseous, can't hardly eat, can't sleep and irritable with my husband, all because of the stupid actions of my child. I just started my new job Monday, so thankfully while at work I have been able to concentrate on my new duties, but once I leave and get in the car all I can do is worry.
Today has been somewhat better, but I do a lot of praying these days. It just never ends.
A wonderful friend of mine sent me a novena the other day by email...Here it is:

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen..GOD WANTED ME TO TELL YOU, It shall be well with you this coming year.No matter how much your enemies try this year, they will not succeed.You have been destined to make it and you shall surely achieve all your goals this year.For the remainder of 2008 and all of 2009, all your agonies will be diverted and victory and prosperity will be incoming in abundance. Today God has confirmed the end of your sufferings, sorrows and pain because HE that sits on the throne has remembered you. He has taken away the hardships and given you JOY. He will never let you down.I knocked at heaven's door this morning, God asked me.. My child!What can I do for you? And I said,'Father, please protect and bless the person reading this message...

It came at the right time. I really believe when things in your life start to go right the devil usually comes in and tries to ride on your shoulder. I am not going to let him to that to me!

HELP

I have been online for hours posting an add for my daughter's house that is up for rent.
Check the link at the bottom of the page. The person who was suppose to rent it out backed out and so now if she does not find someone by the end of the month she will be screwed!
If anybody out there knows of some real good online sites to advertise the house let me know.
HELP!
