This year's been a little different. We've had Hayley and the two kids home all summer. I find myself more frustrated at being tied down with a little one, especially after Wayne's and my trip to Wisconsin--kid free. I think that little trip marked the end of my patience. It's harder to get excited about keeping Hayley busy--everything just seems a little blah-zeh.
It's always hotter than hell this time of year - too hot to do anything outside. That makes me crazy and drives my blues too. Housebound with a two-year old. Don't want to go out, can't get anything done here at home.....
Then there is the news that a 19 year old Park Hill boy was shot to death and died outside of the Price Chopper store where David works. Motive? Either a fight over a girl or money--police aren't sure. So three families' lives (two boys have been charged with manslaughter) are changed forever, not counting all the friends and relatives. Where has innocence gone?
Troubles at the community garden crop up from time to time, but now when something comes up, I just want to bite the head off of someone!!! Especially when an event happens more than once! Just got notified that the church mowers (who aren't supposed to mow near the garden) just caught someone's net fence in the mower, causing major damage to the fence and taking 1 1/2 hours of time on a 100 degree day to get the net unwrapped from the mower blade. Oh not done yet!!! The mower, once again nicked the hose that supplies all of the garden's water---so it now has a hole that has to be cut out and reclamped (second time this year!!). Urgh!!!!! Breathe, Susan. Just breathe!
I am sure!! All my friends have been released from this hell. Why me, Lord. Why me??? You really don't want me conceiving and bearing any more kids, Lord. So what is the deal here??????
So if any of you were even thinking of calling or coming over for a visit---I'm warning you now---stay on my good side!! Bring me a couple of margaritas and help me wash the blues away!!!

Sue did I mention I no longer get my period? HA HA HA HA HA. Just kidding of course my garden is as ripe as a damn tomato.
Yes the PMS thing is a bitch. There are times I just want to get in the car and drive. Don't know where the hell to but it just doesn't matter.
Yes I am feeling your pain about school. I can't even bring myself to get all the #@$**# out that I need to start my room. We get a half day out of our 3 day inservice to work in our room and we are having an open house on the 2nd day of our inservice. Really pisses me off. I would love to just have a baron room for the kids to come into and just say too damn bad..this is it.
The heat. That is another school issue I will want to snuff someone's life out over. It has been so flipping hot with high humidity. Maybe I should come to workshop in my thong. However some of our workshop would be in the high school and my cheeks would freeze. I would have to wear a cheek sweater. Ha picture that.
I don't blame you for being burned out staying at home with Haylee. YOu love her but you have done your time girl!
If you didn't live so flipping far away we could do a weekend getaway somewhere before all school hell breaks loose.
Good news though. I sent my publishers clearing house form in and in no time they will notify me that I have won $5000.00 dollars a week for the rest of my life!!!!!! Yeah baby!!!!!!!
Then I will jet set around world and wish the little people well from afar.
Toodle ohhh Chin up! Things could be worse. You really could be pregnant.
YOur loving sis!
Paula, when you get that $5000 a week from Publisher's Clearinghouse, feel free to take Susan's good friends along with you and her to some fantastic destination. :-)
Susan, I feel your pain even though you probably don't believe me.
Yeah, I too no longer experience Flo. Life is great and so rosy all the time! The birds sing every day and the sun shines.
It just takes away the monthly excuse to get out of having sex. Damn it!
I am finally reading all the past blogs and catching up. It has been that kind of a summer. Wow Susan, you have found your calling. You certainly lead an interesting life and have a certain "gift" of expressing it. :)
While I cannot related to the monthly curse (It is a distant memory) I can relate to feeling the summer has gone by. I didn't do much or feel relaxed. I truly felt like a sister on the road as we put on hundreds of miles with college visits and dance competitions. The only "fun" vacation in Boston had me helping my daughter move in hot, hot, hot temps and no air conditioning. Now don't get me wrong, I had a nice time with my daughter, but would you call that a vacation? Now we are back at school. I was in my classroom for the first time today--So much to do and so little time. I must have had temporary insanity with inviting my parents to visit- up to the first day back at school. what was I thinking? Not- you say! So Susan, I share your back to school blues. Think of me at school tomorrow(yes, it's a Saturday), and the next day, and the next day...
