Falling Apart I seem to be falling apart. My attention span can be measured in seconds. My patience in minutes. I cry at the drop of a hat. I forget to sign the checks. Half of everything in the house is misplaced. Feelings of anxiety and restlessness are my constant companions. Rainy days seem extra dreary. Sunny days seem an outrage. Other people's pain and frustration seem insignificant/ Laughing, happy people seem out of place in my world. It has become routine to feel half crazy. I am normal I am told. I am a newly grieving person. ~Anoymous

ummmm where to start. i am writing this with a heavy heart as my husband has passed away. no i am not jokin it is the truth. he had surgery yesterday and had a hard time in recovery but they still let him come home. and today he took his pain meds and layed down and never woke up. i tried to bring him back and so did the paramedics and the dr's at the hospital but it was to late he had been down for to long. i will be leavin his account open till the end of the month then i will delete it but i will still be here. goin to end this now thanks for readin this i guess i just don't know what to do right now. thanks berta lynn 13's wife

Hello all I hope all is well with all of my friends. For those of you that know my situation at home and for those of you who don't I am going to update all on it now!!! Back in July my mother moved in with us (after alot of bitching from my hubby but that is another story for another time lol) and has been here ever sence. She don't help with the cleaning (cuz she can't clean worth a shit anyway)the only thing she really does is watch the boys and half the time she don't even do that! Anywho the reason she is here is cuz she fell for one of those internet scams from Africa and thinks that this "man" she has been talkin to for the last year is goin to come and marry her and move to California so they can live happily ever after amen!! but I know that this man is not real but she can't get it through her head that he is "FAKE"!!!!! so her father in law kicked her out and she came to live with me (cuz I'm her only child sucks to be me). So now the reason I need to RANT!!! I got up this morning and just knew it was goin to be a bad day, I got up 1/2 hour late for one, my oldest son didn't want to get dressed, then I got ready to take my mother to Section 8 so my mother could get on the list for housin and that is when my day went from bad to worse. They told her that they couldn't do anythin for her cuz 1)she is not 62, 2) she has no income, 3) she is not homeless, and 4) she has not worked for the last 90 days. WTF!!!! Section 8 is part of the government and will help just about anyone but not my mother!!!!!! So now I have to wait and see if she can get aproved for social security or we lose our house first what ever one comes first. So the moral of my day is this.........THE GOVERNMENT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!! Ok I think I got it all of my chest for now. Take care all much love to all!!! Happy Holidays. ~*Berta Lynn*~

the reason is i got a new job and i start on friday!!!!!! so my time here will be kinda limited but i will catch up on everythin on my days off and before and after work ( i know i need to catch up on just about everyone on my friends list its not that i forgot you just haven't had the time to catch up). happy holidays to all will keep you updated on how things are goin with my new job!

help my son's school I don't usually do this but I am askin for help for my son's school. Iziah goes to Masson here in Lorain and they are collecting pop tabs for Ronald McDonald House in Cleveland. For the last 2 years they have collected enough pop tabs to win second place but would love to win first this year. All pop tabs need to be turned in by April so if you could help out send me a message and I will give you my address so you can send them to me. The second thing that I want to ask help for is if anyone can save those box tops for education for him and the school (if you don't already save them for your childs school). Its a great program that helps out the schools and it only takes a minute to clip them off the products that you use every day. These can be turned in anytime during the school year. Let me know if anyone is willin to help me out with this if not I will understand.
