Bite Me…
May 15, 2008Remember when Ro finally got to meet
her idol, Bab’s and she opened with the line,
oh heck, something like “for all of you out there,
dreams do come true”. Just spilling over
with tears that she could not control.
Well that is how I feel. About so many different
things lately. It swells to overflowing.
There is too much, too much of it all.
From graduation, to Kate leaving, to this
possible trip this summer to Michigan, to
Becky and her loss. A roller coaster ride
I feel as if I am on in some respects.
Even with my work, it’s up one day and
down the next, good days and bad with no
real schedule of time to do it.
I am dizzy from it all. I’m blaming it
on hormones and life in general. It just
feels all consuming to me right now.
I escape to the studio, to music, turning
it loud to surround me. I close my eyes and
feel it, my meditation, musically enhanced.
It stops the thoughts and I can just listen to
the melody, the instruments, and rest my
tired brain. The push and pull of maintaining
relationships with several people in my life is
exhausting me.

Our plans for today are changing.
It was to be a family outing day to make up for a
crappy mothers day. But now, Hilary has been asked
to stay at school longer than the 1pm let out time
(due to finals) Her choir director wants them to
practice for the last Women’s Choir performance,
till at lest 2pm. (she is a member of 3 choirs)
So I said fine, we will just go an hour later.
Then I picked Kate up today and she got in the car
saying she has agreed to be back at work today at 4!
Totally forgetting our plans, though I reminded her last night.
She wouldn’t have forgotten if it was a party with friends,
she would never miss one of those, but her mom’s, pfftttt.
just sayin.
So really, at this point I am going to take Jan and we will
go by ourselves. They really made no effort to make mothers
day or this alternate day special for us, but mostly for Jan.
She has given us all of her for 9 years and it warrants care.
Damn it! I’m really pissed about the whole thing.
I will make today special for Jan on my own.
———————————
Good news…
The solitude figure will be reborn in a
commission. Set in a spot in Sedona Arizona
that my client finds peaceful.
I am very excited to begin it!
I am waiting for her to send pictures of the spot.

I love this quote….
Our lives improve only when we take chances -
and the first and most difficult risk we can take
is to be honest with ourselves.

I’m working on it!
Have a great day everyone.
Oh and Jaded, (or anyone) what did you think of
Fantasia’s performance last night on Idol?
Someone said Simon looked like he had thrown
up in his mouth. I thought it was just awful!
(the performance I mean)
WTF was that?


















I hope you’re feeling better, first of all.
Second, congrats on the commission!
Next, I’m glad that you and Jan will celebrate each other today. I hope Hilary can go with you. Don’t be too hard on Kate. When you’re that young and your boss tells you he/she really needs you to work an extra shift, it’s often hard to say no. Maybe she felt like she had no other choice. Still, I think she should have said no.
Mr. Jaded and I could NOT believe what we were seeing on Idol last night. All Fantasia did was scream and shriek…I didn’t hear much actual singing. The hair, the outfit, the dance… I thought the best thing about the whole extravaganza was Simon’s expression because that alone said what most of America was thinking!
OMG it was soo bad!
I wondered what I would hear today about it and
most reviews say the same, how could they not?
Poor David A has a stage dad that is making his
life hell on the set. I feel awful for him.
He is my pick, though both david’s are good in
their own way.
So plans have changed yet again,
Kate called and arranged to work third
tonight and will go with us after all.
Hilary is on her way home now.
John Paul is going too.
I guess no one wants me pissed at
them LOL
That cant be a bad thing!
I love that Ro clip, it’s always made me cry.
I’m glad the kids are changing their plans to pull off a family celebration. Damn kids eh?
I miss Ro’s show so much…it was such a happy show, something you could sit down with your kids and watch…I loved when she met babs and when she had Tom on her final show lol
I didn’t watcm AI last night, I haven’t really watched this season…but I saw a clip of her singing, if thats what you can call it, and man she was horrid…
My mothers day was awful, I guess theres always next year…
WoooHooo on the commision, it sounds like it will be beautiful and it will mean so much to her since its her spot.
It ended up being a lovely afternoon,
we bought lunch, they bought ice cream
later, and they bought Jan a great game
for the PS3 system.
It came with a controller that is a gun,
You use it to do combat missions and shit.
Lord I don’t know, but she is happy.
We stopped by Hobby Lobby for a few art
supplies and Jan bought me a great travel portfolio
to hold all my sketch pads and pencils. It is wonderful!
I also got take along speakers for the
iPod.
To the sea, to the sea…
It will be going there with me LOL
Off to dinner with Cathy and Shawna…
Carie, I’m sorry your mothers day was awful.
Mine was too actually, but today made up for it.
I hope that you can make yourself one too.
I never got to see Mum for Mother’s Day this year as I was 1000kms away. I did however manage to phone her! I am sorry your day never panned out as it should have. But then I don’t think the celebration should be limited to just one day per year. Children should show that same compassion & gratitude every day, be Thankful everyday for the tiresome effort parents put in, to making life great - for them.
For a long time I never fully appreciated my parents and only saw the negative side to their nuturing. But I was wrong. The love and support they have shown me has been remarkable and now I think about them everyday and I know I would not be where I am today without their unselfish giving, love and support.
Happy Mother’s Day to You & Jan! Though it may come late, as your children become parents, they will begin to understand, the deserving recognition of Mother’s Day and all that you do to provide them a quality life.
xoxo
I know that they will grow to understand
just as I did. I do vent it though!
I had a lot to be angry with my mother about,
but in the end, I grew to understand that people
do the best they can with what they have to work
with, both materially and emotionally. I have to
allow her that same humanness.
