  • Dying Young

    It all seems so unfair that somewhere in the world right now someone is most likely dying in some freak unseen accident. This morning my friend and neighbor Carol lost her baby sister in the most unfortunate accident in Billings. Who would ever think getting in the car at six am to go to work that you would wouldn't make it. It seems that there was a high speed chase with the police and the person that they were chasing smashed right into her car at an intersection. It was so bad that they didn't even remove the body from the car until after 9. Here is a family who are all planning to be in Butte for the weekend helping Jason and Carol move into their new house and now they will all be attending a funeral instead. I don't understand sometimes how so many good people die and yet all of the bad ones seem to go unharmed. I know it probably all a part of gods plan and we should all consider ourselves lucky every day. You just really know when your card will be drawn.. May God Bless you and keep you Lillian.

  •  Well, now it’s etched in stone - That I can’t survive alone - You have the missing piece
    That I need so desperately - Yes, I slip away to a day that’ll never come
    It’s like a splash of water to my face - When I suddenly realize - That you could never find a place
    For me in your eyes, and I don’t know why I keep thinking

    One day I’ll turn around - I’ll see your hand reach out
    I’m only fooling myself, oh, - But maybe when you smile
    It means you’d stay awhile - Just maybe you’d save me now

  • Who knew how little time I would have once school started. I feel like a chicken with its head cute off. The three hour commute doesn't help. Today I think I spent six hours doing homework. I am not sure if this means that I have become terrible at studying or if they are trying to cram as much down in the six months that the program runs. Its funny I don't think I was nervous or had as much self  doubt the first two times I went to school? I guess this late in the game I just have more to lose if I find that I have yet again chosen a path that isn't quite right. Fortunately for me all paths are a learning experience so I don't even see them as failures as much as enlightenment.

  • There will be days...

    Some days just don't seem to have enough hours in them. Possibly I am not productive enough to fit everything in. I suppose that you do what you can and not worry about the rest. My schedule is about to become even more erratic then it is now. Long story short I have an IT degree but decided it wasn't what I wanted to do when I grew up. So at 31, I am going back to school to go into esthetic's. The school is about and hour from home so that means commute time of two plus hours each day. It is also tough to give up steady pay and a relatively calm life to chase a dream. I always thought I would be a lot more settled at this age but I guess at some point you have to weigh the eventual benefits of switching mid course to do something you love.

  • Random Madness

    So I have been missing in action this week. My older sister and her husband are gone to Vegas and so I have full time duty of four children. I always joke with people that I have four kids and never gave birth once. There are definitely days it feels like it. This week my life seems to be  all about the details, did I feed you, are you clean, house and laundry clean, homework done, what is the next activity we have, and a million more. I have come to the realization that having four children is utter chaos at all times. It takes an army to raise these kids, or raise them well. My sister is luckier than most people she has a lot of help. Myself, my mother, a regular babysitter, I am sort of flying solo this week so I can appreciate having to do it without much assistance. Somehow you just do what you have to do.

  • The grass is greener....

    Why is it that it is that we always seem to want what we can't have or what we don't have. I have a friend who is reevaluting a past relationship. She is torn between the wonderful, caring man who adores her and a an past love who is possibly in the position to want her back. I have been in the same boat honestly caught between my past and my present and I certainly went back to look for myself. I wasn't giving anything up that I might later regret though. 90% of the time what you find is exactly what you left behind to beging with and you've just created more pain for yourself than had you left it where it was. I guess it for me the question becomes why are we never satisfied with what is good and wonderful in our lives. Or we all under some delusional that there is truly some bigger better life or love out there that are willing to sacrafice what we currently have.

  • How do you show someone you love them?

    This is an interesting question I am sure that people come up with a million ways that people could show someone that they loved them . I believe honestly partly how you treat someone in general on a daily basis can say "I love you". We all have our moments but are you kind and considerate, do you take into account the other persons feeling or thoughts. Mostly though I believe the best way a person can show you they love you is they are behind you no matter what happens in your life, they are supportive and well, just there even when your wrong. There are a million monetary ways to say I love you but it is a little like praying to false gods. Those are all just things they fade, are forgotten or undervalued.

  • Another Day...

    I feel a little like I am putting in my time today. I ideally want to fly to aruba and leave all my mental strife here for a few days. That being said there are those of you whose lives are in a far greater peril and my issues seem so little and insignificant. Money, school, men, jobs, family, etc. The funny thing is when your going through them they don't always seem that way.  I wish I could say St. Patricks was any better I still had two fools creating madness in my life which ended up in two rather large fights. I feel though like I am talking out my eyeballs sometimes. I want to scream "can you hear me"??? I have come to the conclusion that they don't because they don't simply don't care. I am talking to hear myself speak. Thankfully, Pete the current possibility in my life was there, he pretty much was being my rock. He seems to have resolved one of the problems altogether. Not because I asked him but it helped that he knows Tim my ex. He pretty much told him he had his chance the ship had sailed.

  • Monday...

    I know it is St. Patricks Day but today is just kicking my butt. Not that I got any sleep last night.. I am the kind of person I decided that drama comes to. I can sit here and do nothing and wa la there it is. So my ex fiance is back in town for the Holiday. What??? He calls and midnight and wants to come cuddle??? You are drinking and not hardly, but we spend the next few hours going back and forth until he is practically begging. Which is funny but he is so drunk that he doesn't even know where he is so I think he will have to settle for whatever couch he is supposed to sleep on... I have no idea if I will see him today or not. St. Patricks Day is huge in Butte, so an all out booze fest uptown all day. I am wavering on not participating altogether.. Anyway, the next thing that happens is my now ex friend with benefits calls, he wan't to come over. He has called every night this weekend and gotten a resounding no but do you think that stops him.. This is insanity.. I mean we talk about how we need to go our seperate ways they know that they hurt me continually and yet neither one thinks twice about calling me? The worst part is that I am trying to maybe start dating someone else but all this constant madness for the last month has me about to dump over the edge. Are all men truly this selfish or do I seem to corner the market on finding those. bleh...
