crybaby alert

by the looks of all the comments from the previous post-- it seems that something was in the air yesterday in blogland. WTH?? all of blogworld had a crappy day in one way or another . tired and bitchy was the theme of the day.

i don't think mine ever did get any better-- i do hope things changed for at least some of y'all.

i know a lot of things are going on in many of y'alls worlds that would throw me into a funk myself;
so i do understand. so it kinda makes me feel like a crybaby-- as usual, when i whine about my crap here.

it gets to where i just don't even want to write anything. but then i feel bad when or if i don't. so then i just end up feelin bad all over. do i write and whine-- or not write and whine. crap.

some days lately haven't been so bad here lately. at least not until recently. i think the thing that hit me hardest was after i found out the tests were good, believed that i would be able to drive, then found out that i was wrong about that. and then--- getting sick, and hubby having to miss work. not to mention.. some soulkid troubles-- not "trouble" just the normal teenager crap--that i know i should handle differently-- ugh. some days though i swear-- that girl amazes me.. she's like a kid straight from heaven... then other days-- i just wonder if i can ever fix what i didn't do right up to now. i'm sure there are ways... but they can't be easy. it would be a whole new regimen, and transition. i'm talkin all the way to her wanting to eat like a three year old again. as in her own separate meal at dinner time.. i had thought i had fixed that crap! finally after years of fixing two separate dinners-- she now decides-- she can't or won't eat this or that. after she had been for weeks etc. wtf , is UP with that-- at this age? why now?

ok-- you know-- i'm just venting here-- not asking for advice-- or criticism. we were all 14 once. i remember being 14. admittedly-- i did alot more than pick at what i was served for dinner, and skip a chore or two. or even tell a fib or whatever. it's just that some of the things she's doing-- i did-- because it was self preservation on my part. she knows she isn't gonna get shipped off "somewhere", or get her ass kicked, or something ... yet she pulls the i'm gonna see how far i can go and still get what i want card. and i'm tellin ya -- it isn't gonna last much longer.

ok--- now that you know why i am awake at 4 30 a.m... again. seein as i had been sleepin til 530-6 for the passed several weeks. no she isn't the only reason. but yes , i have my mind full of crap yet again. seems every day or two another hour or two gets knocked off my sleep again.
in some ways it's alright. i sorta like having time in the morning to myself. i always have really. i like no tv, or talking, or anything like that. it's just weird that i had begun to set my alarm , in order to get at least a half hour of alone time in the morning and was even sleeping thru that, and now here i am ....up before the chickens again.

my damn back is in knots .. yep--still. goin on over a week straight. wtf. yes i know-- i bitch about my back all the time-- but this is stupid. soulman finally broke down in my agony last night and gave me a massage-- it saved my life. i was about to cry it hurt so damn bad. it helped, and i was able to at least get to sleep.
but what did i think about while he did it? all i could think was "this isnt gonna last very long, i hope it works".. and also-- i hate motherfuckin doctors....how in the hell can or why, do doctors allow people to be in pain?"
i hate them. i do.

someone breaks a leg and gets a million pain pills, that they take four of and flush the rest--- another person who hurts daily for half their life , gets called a drug seeker---and can't get more than motrin without being treated like shit. so much so they become afraid to even ask for a pain pill. yep i'm talkin about me. i'm just sick of it. i have been in excruciating pain, "reduced myself" to go to the dr for meds.. finally get the nerve to go, and ask.. and leave in tears... after the lecture of chronic pain and narcotics, and all that crap. or other dumb shit. go to pt, go to a pain clinic. well, i went to a pain clinic.. he called me a drug seeker and told me to see a shrink, and take anti d's.. HEL_-LO--- hey asshole-- i JUST told you i have seen a shrink , And been on anti depressants for 12 years.. wtf difference is YOURS shrink gonna make with MY pain??
needless to say-- i left with nothing and never went back. if "counseling" hasn"t helped my pain or depression after 12 years--why the hell would it start NOW>?

see y'all i told ya i was a bitch.

and i tell ya what else. this no drivers license crap is killin me. i was thinkin last night-- ok.. i could drive around here-- wally hell is down the street, the pond is close, some other things i do are pretty close-- no highways involved etc....
BUT then-- i realized.. son of a bitch.. if i DO get stopped or get in a wreck--- that's another entire frickin YEAR without a license for driving on a suspended... isn't it????

and hubby cannot.. just can't-- keep taking time off-- to cart me around--and take me to dr's all the damn time. so what the hell am i supposed to do???

this is all catchin up with me .. fast.

and yesterday-- man i tell ya... i felt like i had been liftin weights. my arms and shoulders and chest-- from the heaving so bad--- good lawd. it took me a minute to figure out why i was so sore-- then it hit me... it was the pukin my heart out. UGH.

and dare i add--- my kitchen is a shithole once again. how it got this bad -- this fast-- is beyond me... but it looks like a friggin bomb went off in there-- well.. it did. i did everything except wash the dishes.. so it only looks like a bomb went off on the counter now. but geesh.

oh, and before anyone -- if anyone catches it and tells me-- i just now caught it myself-- the dropping the wellbutrin suddenly could quite possibly be causing some of the bitchiness etc. lethargy.. even a bit of depression... sudden med changes can always mess your head.

also the new dog-- she's a good dog..but apparently spent more time out in a kennel than in a house-- so we had one more accident yesterday-- only pee this time-- PHEW. but still-- no, i didn't expect it. i too thought we were getin a trained dog. it is a trained dog-- but apparently "house trained" wasn't part of the deal. it's trained for shutzhund and stuff.. not knockin on the door :))

she has btw, met the cats-- she doesnt care too much about them..they are afraid of her and hide most the time.
sushi is lightening up-- but still lets her know whos house and people this is. sushi is a bitch. and its funny to watch eevee back away from a min pin.
eevee is a belgian melenois-- not a shepherd. she's smaller-- but i still wouldn't wanna piss her off.

anyhow.. there's my crybaby attack for today-- perhaps something will lighten my mood today. i hope so.

Geez Soul, I turn my back for 5 minutes and everything goes to hell in a hand basket. No license, sick tummy, new dog, Sushi acting strange, Soul kid acting strange....my head is spinning.....

I just came by to wish you and the Soul clan a very happy Easter and now I must add that I hope the rest of your world gets better real soon. I have to admit I miss you and many other bloggers but all is well in Gypsy land. Hope all will be well in Soul land soon too.

JLee said...

Blame it on the full moon last night! Ok, it's a stretch, but possible? If it's any consolation, I didn't eat dinner at all when I was 14. I thought I was so "fat". ha
Anyway, she'll be fine :)
Have a great Easter!

I know what you mean, about all of it. I know we talk every morning, and I know your issues, but reading this post makes me want to cry for you. Seriously. I know what it's like to not be able to drive, although no one has ever said I couldn't, I just was not able to, on my own. The time will go fast, I promise. I know you feel like you are putting everyone out, because they have to take you everywhere, but this is your family, they love you. When I finally get down there, I will drive you, although you may prefer to stay home, lol.

I'm right there with you on not being able to sleep, because of too much happening in your head. I know that feeling well. Things will all work out, you know they will. As far as soulkid goes, she is not doing anything different than any other fourteen year old. It will be a rough ride, but you are doing just fine. I feel for you, the teens are rough, and that has nothing to do with YOU. It's just fact.

I love ya, you know.

xo

Teenagers - both boys and girls - are a challenge at best. Somehow parents seem to live through these years. Payback will come in the form of her own children. Heaven only knows I was a pill when I was a teenager.

The driving situation is a bitch. You're correct it would be bad news to be driving and have something go wrong - even if the other driver crashed into you. Not worth the danger. The next several weeks will seem like years but they will pass.

I don't envey you the new dog. A new animal always upsets the routine and presents challenges.

Soul, I know all of this is a challenge but someway, somehow you'll get through it. Just remember all your blogland friends are thinking of you and are here for you.

Every single one of your complaints is a legitimate bitch. The pain pill one I can identify with. It took me YEARS of pain before my doctor finally starting giving me something to help it..that and the xray that shows my hip bones being almost bone on bone. And people wonder why some go to "pill pusher" quack doctors! They go to get some RELIEF. I was thinking of going that route myself before my doctor FINALLY relented. Only the druggies are able to get them easily you know.
Sigh ~ with a child as old as yours, you should never have to come into a messy kitchen. Wow I heard that said to me so many times. It's true of course...but MAKING a 14 yr old DO it is more work than doing it yourself. Unfortunately it lets the kid off scott free. Not good.
I can only offer you my most sincere sympathies. You, my dear, are about to enter a war zone with inadequate armor and minimum ammunition. You are about to find out why some animals eat their young. This age range is the most horrible in the world. Every mother deserves a medal for getting through it in one piece without disowning her child. You will sometimes wonder how such a person could REALLY BE your child. Yes...sad to say...you will be in war for about 4 years...then it just does an about face and things will be cool and she'll be the best thing that ever happened to you. Be patient...you may want to put off giving up smoking for a while though. Charlotte

Do you feel better now, that you got it all out? Too bad you're not a shopper, I'd suggest retail therapy! It always works for me. How about a pedicure where you'd be sitting in one of those heated massage chairs. Your stress would lessen and your back would feel good with the heat and massage. I don't know. I have no answers. I wish you the best. :)
Happy Easter!

Smocha said...

LOL Well ,that was quite the whine there ,Grenadine. I think you need a big cheese loaf ,like the one Lucy smuggled on the airplane.
:)

What can I say ? that everyone here hasn't already said? So Ditto ..all that. :)
What a great bunch of friends you have.

I will tell you this. You know how they say "life begins at 40"
Well ...nuh ugh baby...."life begins when the kids are GROWN!"
*evil cackle*

And I guess you should look at the bright side too.....

A. You were not diagnosed with epilepsy or a brain tumor.

B.It could be a window of opportunity ..to write your book or learn a new hobby...whatever you want to make of it. :))

OK, I'm done. :)))

My spouse has literally been laying on the couch allll day long.
Thank God I ran errands. :)

Also , this morning I was looking up how to dye easter eggs (from scratch) I'm gonna make me some.

And I remembered when Wes was about 9 or 10 ,you know how the dye kits come with that wax pencil , so you can write on them?

Well he wrote bad words on all the eggs they dyed. (not cuss words) But stuff like "stupid head"" butt hole""idiot"

LOL AHHH ! kids. What fun they are.

What are you doing??

Love me

CRUSTY MOM-E said...

Cheryl said...

At least you get to vent on your blog!

Have I ever told you how much I like the way you write? If I didn't, I'm telling you now. You have quite the way with words. And you always keep it real. I'm glad to know you.

What's the plan for Easter? Do you do anything special? I hope your body has recovered a little so you have a better day.

Blur Ting said...

Oh Soul, I can so understand. I had a bad day too. Somewhat similar problems...with the kid, with transportation, with having to rely on other people to cart my kid around... somedays these things just eat into us huh? Maybe it's PMS. Well, hope it gets better.

mosiacmind said...

wow what you were writing about the pain medication for those of us who do suffer in lots of pain and people even medical say we are using and such crap. a friend of mine from church wrote on her blog about that same issue and we were talking about it today. i think due to full moons and changes of seasons can make one crabby...in fact i just learned that just like some people suffer from s.a.d. when winter starts some people also do suffer from s.a.d. when spring starts how weird is that? i hope that you and your family are having a good weekend.

Portia said...

i know the feeling, like something's gotta give.
sounds overwhelming. it sucks that it has to be such a struggle just to find a doctor who listens. its weird really.
of course i have no wisdom of y own experience of raising teens, but - and i have left this somewhere before - i have always remembered someone else's... "raising teenagers is like trying to nail jell-o to a tree." is that bleak? cause i thought it was funny:)
i hope you feel better and have a better week this go round!
:)

EE said...

Soul...can't believe the doctor accused you of that...what an idiot! You know, you would think that having to deal with people everyday their people skills would be better, but some out there are real schmucks.

bonnie said...

Man, that's so much shit. Can you afford to get a professional massage on a regular basis? Sometimes insurance will cover it. especially when it's medically justified. What about accupuncture? It works for all kinds of things... pain, smoking. To me it always just felt like a big body orgasm. Very strange but always interesting. So if your tests were clear, do you know what the seizing was about? I take some anti seize meds for depression.
