Not a good week
September 23rd, 2007
It seems that bad karma is continuing. This past week our neighbor died, we learned of sad news from a cousin, the people who mow our neighbors lawn ripped a hole in our fence, and yesterday we had a flat tire on the way to horseback riding.
I hope this week is better as I have some things that need to be done. I start teaching this week and need to make sure all is ready. I have some homework to do in the javascript class I am taking online. And I have a few people I am helping with some things, as well as trying to help myself and my family.
Oscillating between emotions
July 1st, 2007
Crying and laughing, laughing and crying. What causes these emotions to be displayed? Why could someone be laughing at one moment and then be crying the next? What makes this even worse is the inability to tell you why you are crying or laughing. What can unlock the mind to tell us the reason? I’m guessing that it would really bother anyone who is confronted with this situation. And, it does, because it really pains me to see my daughter this way.
I feel sad
June 14th, 2007
when I see my dog hobbling in the yard
and struggling to go up the stairs
when I see my daughter being sad
and not knowing how to tell us why
having her feelings locked inside
crushing her spirit and soul
seemingly never to be happy
Birthday 18
June 4th, 2006
My daughter had her eighteenth birthday yesterday. She had a party at school on Friday and got a nice card from her classmates and a picture-poster, as well as a gift (a stuffed gorilla). Usually, she loves stuffed animals but lately hasn’t really cared for them except for Curious George. We took her riding on Saturday and then visited her Mom-mom for dinner. My Mom cooked us lasagna and had a salad and cheesecake for dessert. We all went out shopping and Alicia got a very pretty top and some other things from the dollar store (books and puzzles).
It was really nice walking around with my daughter while the rest of the family did their shopping. She needs to be able to do things at her own pace. She needs some control in her life. It would just be great if she could (or would) talk to us and tell us when she is tired or sad or happy or hungry. Laying down on the floor in the store is not really an appropriate way of saying “that’s it, let’s go home“. We understand her, but how do others view her and her actions. I wonder and I worry.
Today, we’ll try to do something special. Maybe we’ll go to the mall. Maybe we’ll have some ice cream. Maybe we’ll visits a relative. It looks like a great day with all the storms we’ve had over the past couple of days. We need the rain, but, at least for today, we have a break in the storm pattern (which are supposed to start again tonight).
