I found a heavy bag for $90. Score. Add a speed bag for $50 and a chin-up bar for $30. Looky what I have!
I hate the cold. I hate being sedentary. I find myself listening to Disturbed with a desire to burn! I have energy and a drive to move. This has been severely lacking in the past two weeks. I have found my answer.
So how is it that I manage to crank Disturbed at 10:00 at night ranting "Die!" at the top of my lungs like a raving maniac (which after 3 shots is pretty much true)? I asked myself the same question. About 3 months ago I made the boy's walk-in closet into a reading nook because they couldn't reach thier clothes any ways. Well, the angels decided to camp out in there with thier overstuffed pillows and comfy t-shirt material blankets. AWWWW! What darling children I have. How could I possibly not be happy at this moment????
Every month I hit a low point. I lose all hope. I have no energy. I feel like shit. I'm bloated and look like shit. You would think that by now I would recognize it for what it is, and not send myself into a downward spiral wondering if I'm depressed and mentally ill. But no. It never occurs to me until I find myself running to the bathroom with my purse. Maybe it's because the symptoms only occur in "pre" stage or maybe it's because I realize I'm not completely insane but maybe a little intensely hormonal. Luckily I don't deal with people on a regular basis. I'm probably a total bitch during this time too. I'll probably never have to know that though. I'll probably be single until I hit menopause, and I'll never work in customer service again.

Do you ever just feel really tired and down? That's me right now. I've found myself making small mistakes. Understandable mistakes, but they add up to me feeling rather inept. The kids are happy. Things are progressing. It's just a fear and a boredom. And quite honestly. I'm just tired.

I am a nazi.
I believe this country has gone too far in creating freedom and liberties. We as americans have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. However, we realize this expects us to have a sense of responsibility in exchange for such joys. This is the reason we must obtain licenses. We all grumble and complain about having to register our car, our guns, and our dogs. However I hope we all understand why this is really not a bad deal. I'd like to extend the registration and licensing idea to children. I think China has the right idea. There is no reason to continue overpopulating the world just because you are physically capable of it. Some restraints need to be put in place. I know, it seems a little harsh, but hear me out. It's going to get even more extreme before I make any sense.
First, there has to be a way to control procreation. I propose a modern and simple solution. All male children need to make a sperm donation at at the onset of puberty. This donation will be cataloged and reserved for them. They will then be snipped. Ahhh! How horrid. You can't force people to manipulate their own body. It's for the good of everyone, especially the unborn children. We force people to get vaccinations, they can do this too.
Then when people are ready to have children, they simply need to go to the mighty sperm bank, fill out the proper forms, go through the proper interviews and then have the male's sperm artificially inseminated. Same result, just an extra step. No, it's not natural, but let's look at what is happening naturally. Teens are having babies. Druggies are having babies. Deadbeat dad's are abandoning their children. Religions are not supporting birth control. This means that they take people's money and then tell them to raise large families on what's left of thier income. The interviews wouldn't need to be unnecissarily harsh or demanding. Probably the same as any adopting parent would go through. And the system can't be too prejudgmental, gay couples are now able to adopt. This is a good thing in my eyes. I don't want people to not be able to have children. I just don't think that people who cannot take care of their children should be able to - simply because they have the equipment. You do not have the right to fuck up someone else's life. If you create a life that you cannot provide for, that is exactly what you have done. I think it's much better to be proactive than not when it comes to people's lives.
Plus, the whole system will force people to take a second look at whether they truly want children and if they can provide for them. And then a third look by the person granting the permit. Aren't children worth a third look?

My kids found my porn stash. It's not like I have a huge stash, but isn't more than 1 picture too much for a nine year old? So I had to have a talk with him. I had to tell him things like he's supposed to like what he saw, I just didn't like him sneaking around. I had to explain that he shouldn't read these magazines until he's 18, because it's like alchohol. You have to be old enough to know better. I don't know whether I handled the situation correctly, but he wasn't embarrased or sketchy when he left. I figure I had to have handled it better than when he brought me a tampon and asked me "What do you do with this?"

Why do men have to be assholes??? It's like they have to pretend to be tough, and so instead of being honest they are just pricks. I have had two men ask me out in the last month who I have turned down (a record for me). Both responded by saying something really nasty about me. It's not like I was really nasty either. I simply said "no thank you". Is this too blunt for the California male ego? I used to do it all the time in the bar. I never caught any flack for it, I was simply being honest. But these men are rude. One said, "Well, I wouldn't date you anyways. You're divorced and have kids." This came immediately after asking me out. The other one said he'd really like to see me. Before I could respond he asked me if he was my type. I said, "no, you really aren't". And he said "Well, you're too old for me anyways." This came from a man who ws 17 years older than me. Ick. Stupid sick bastard. Obviously I was too intelligent, honest, and independent for him. Fucker. And then! I was in a Verizon store today getting my phone replaced. There was a ridiculously long line and I was second to last. Two men were standing behind me, obviously together. One looks at the other and says "Maybe we should come back later". Having been in the store before - I knew that this wasn't a solution. The store was always too busy. So I said "It's always like this". The prick has the nerve to look at me and say, "I was talking to him". Well. So I just said "And I was talking to you. I didn't realize I needed permission to speak to you. Where should I stand in line for that?" What an asshole.
