Hope is a dangerous thing.  It allows people to really believe in something, strive for it...'hope' for it....and when it doesn't happen, if it doesn't work out...you blame Hope.  It's a double edged blade if I ever played with one. And like most things you play with, without first taking the proper precautions, it can fucking hurt.

I consider NC my "home" even though I haven't lived there since I was 5.  Hell, I haven't even been back to visit in 8 years.  I could make up excuses all day long, topping the list would be cost; but, fact of the matter is, I just haven't made it a high enough priorty.

Holy cow, things have been crazy around here!

Time for me to make a decision.  What do I want to be when I grow up...I'm a 31 year old mother of 4 and I bring home 80% of the household income. And I'm thinking about quitting my job.  How's that for being responsible? *sigh*

Don't get me wrong, I like what I do and I'm DAMN good at it.  The problem is that 13 years ago when I started here (5 ( Read more... )

You know, all in all things haven't been too rough for me lately. Sure, my 9 year old smashed his hand and required surgery, but those things happen. We've been doing a remodel at work and finding wires in walls that we didn't plan on and various other glitches, but again, those things happen ( Read more... )

My grandaddy's in the hospital and it's not looking too good.
