I Love this Guy!

Well

That word is a pain. It could mean: A place to get water. A pause before you begin a story . A lie. Gossip. One of the best or worst conversations you have ever had. It could be interpreted in many ways. My sister Deborah uses it alot. WELL.....

I am....

Lonely. Lonely to the point when the feeling no longer seems to be just a feeling but a state of being. Lonely to the point where I feel like there is nothing else. It does not seem that bad to begin with. Then when you need to talk there is no one. No one you can talk to that will understand. No one who will listen. No one who will listen with no interruption. Have you ever been the one to listen and then when you need someone there is no one?
Angry. Angry at my life. That I have allowed myself to become the person that I am. Yesterday I was 14. Today when I woke up and looked in the mirror I realized I am 37 with 2 children. I don't want to be this person any longer. My house is dirty. My dog is really sick. My paw-paw has dementia. My granny won't make him a dr.'s appointment so I can go with her to hear what the doctor has to say. She wants to wait on my idiot aunt who understands nothing the doctor says.
Tired. Tired of doing what I am supposed to do. I have never been a do what I am supposed to do person. Now I only do what I am supposed to do. I don't want to do that anymore but I will I am a responsible adult and I will do what I have to do

WARRRRR EAGLE!!!!

I was so nervous during the second half of the game I almost changed the channel to relieve some of the anxiety. At the end of the game I was glad that I did not because kicking the winning field goal despite the last second attempt of their coach. On a sad note if we could only not underestimate the "smaller" teams our season would be better.
WARRRRR EAGLE baby!

Hilarious Stalker Take on "Hey There Delilah"

Lakyn

This is about Lakyn Rodgers who was born September 2,1992 and her life support was disconnected September 3,2005. Lakyn Danielle Rodgers died from a ruptured brain tumor. All the doctors "missed" it until the Wed. before she died when she had another headache and her regular pediatrician ordered an MRI. She was then sent to Birmingham. It was so quick and she was gone. We had been friends with the family for years. She and my daughter had been playmates since about the time they could crawl. She was a "Prima Donna Pain" but a good kid. We all still miss her immensely. Everytime my daughter or son hit a milestone in their life I think of Lakyn and how Danny and Christy will never have that with her. It makes me so sad even two years later.
I have posted a picture of her and her family on their last trip to Disney in August 2005 before Lakyn died in September 2005

THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON

What a way to start. Straughn High School played Red Level High School last night. The original game was scheduled for Thursday night. It originally drew a very large crowd owing to the fact that it is an intense rivalry but drought ravaged south Alabama has finally began to get much needed rain. Now mind you a simple rain does NOT postpone a football game. A blazing thunderstorm with lightening that knocks out power over a 30 or so mile area does. The return match up was amazing. Boys who do not get paid and may not ever play again once their high school career is over gave it their all. These are teams that mind you have cousins playing each other. Kids who after the game is over shake hands and ride through town. The final score was Straughn 15 Red Level 12. Last year ladies and gentleman the score was 40 to nothing Red Level with the bragging rights for a year. This year Straughn has that right. Believe me as soon as the final second ticked off the cell phones were out and calls being made to those who were unfortunate enough not to be in attendence. My daughter first called her grandmother (who is a Red Level Alumni)then called her brother who is a Senior at Straughn.
WHO HOO!!! STRAUGHN TIGERS RULE!!!!

POLITICAL BULLCRAP

Most of the time I do not pay attention to politicians because it does no good. We have been made to believe that what we the people want makes a difference. It does not. We have been made to believe that politicians are of a higher moral fiber than the average person on the street. They are not. They are people just like everyone else. Just because they go to fancy schools to achieve the training to become senators,judges and congressmen does not mean a thing. If they do bad things when they are younger they will always do bad things when they are older. The ethics classes they take does not only show them how to do the right thing it teaches them how to cover up the wrong thing. If you know someone who steals do you allow them in your house unsupervised? No. If you employ someone who steals do you fire them? YES. When did the line become gray? When did it become ok to allow people to continually lie to you? When did it become ok for the average person to struggle to make ends meet while they have taxes taken out of their check to pay the RIDICULOUS salary of people who lie,cheat and steal?
Come one. I live in a small town. there is a prominent politician who comes home from Washington D.C. to relax in my small town.. My mother went to school with this man. His daughter works at a electric cooperative, that he is/was a member on the board, for the average person to get a job there is like pulling teeth from a tiger with no anestesia,almost impossible. They hire family or on a smaller scale minorities(mostly janatorial services). I know about how much it cost when his daughter was married. It was a "grand" wedding. Don't get me wrong the people I am referring to are very nice and I have heard no scandal but I see thecost of their living here in this small town. What is it in D.C.?
My point is that our government IS corrupt but then again most governments are. We pay for their raises. They just raised minimum wage but check out how many times they have voted to give themselves cost of living raises. Drive cheaper cars. Live in a normal house instead of a huge house. Average people do this. Why is it "expected" that our politicians live any better than a middle-class person? Do they have to fly on a private plane? Do they really need to drive a SUV that is top of the line? Not just on in the procession but about 2-5 when they go somewhere. I understand security. There are nutjobs out there but why only 2 people in one Tahoe? CARPOOL!!! I PAY FOR MY GAS AND THERE'S. It takes anywhere from 50- 100 dollars to fill up an SUV. I have one. My friend has a Tahoe. 100 miles and you have less than a 1/2 tank.
I'm just tired of hearing people in office apologize for stupid crap that would land the average person in jail. When one of them gets caught you can bet there are at least 20 more of them doing the same or worse who have not been caught. It's safe to say that the mindset of these people is "Well the Senator/Congressperson from BLAH BLAH does this. If they can get a way with it so can I." BUST THEM ALL. They obviously do not learn by example so clean house. But then you would need someone who could not be bought or intimidated. Someone with no skeletons. Does that person exist? Probably not.

Don't Blink

I love this show. I missed a lot of it the first time. Thank God for syndication. There are so many things in that show that is truely like my life. Another show is According to Jim. It's sometimes like they are spying on my life for some of the episodes. Tim is so like Jim. My reaction are a lot like Cheryl's.
Funny isn't it how our lives run a course and when you are young you relate to such things as your favorite rock star etc. Then as you get older and become a parent you can relate to your parents and what they went through when you were the age of your kids.You become known not as Sonya but as Ryan and Meaghan's mom. Then you realize you that you compare yourself to SITCOM PEOPLE! Come on I made fun of people who did that.(No offense) What happened? I was fun and the center of attention. I had the world at my feet. Now I'm 37 with 2 kids,a husband and a mortgage. What! Happened! Where did the years go. My son is a senior and my daughter is a sophomore. They were just born yesterday. Kenny Chesney is right. Don't Blink.

Sometimes

Sometimes I don't want to be here. I don't want to be there either. I don't want to be anywhere. I don't like where I am. It's too hot now. It seems that we are going to skip fall again this year. I watched the Weather channel today to check on hurricane Dean and saw that it was 60 something degrees up north. We had another 99+- with a heat index of about 104 today. Andalusia Alabama is hosting the Babe Ruth World Series through the 24. There are teams here from New York, Minnesota, Hawaii just to name a few. I really feel sorry for the boys from places where the humidity is almost or is nil most of the time. There again it must not be that bad on them because the NY team is currently on top. There is a team from Mobile Alabama. They should be accustomed to the heat and they are not on top.
Sometimes I want to be there. Anywhere. I want to travel and see things. I want to see England,Scotland,Wales,Ireland. I want to see Spain and France. I don't really want to see any places that are hot and dusty. I want to sit and listen to a knowledgeable person lecture on places I want to go and then go. I don't want the touristy stuff I want the stuff that time has forgot. I want to sit in the castle ruins and listen to the ghost of yesteryears speak to me.(Not scare me mind you) I want to close my eyes and believe that the yucky disease ridden times were wonderful.I believe that they were to an extent. A world of innocence if you would. When all believed in God. When knights roamed the world to slay dragons none had ever seen. I would proably be a scullery maid though. To clean and clean day in and day out. That is why I would not time travel. I'd get stuck there and have to be a scullery maid or a prostitute. Not a courtesan or even mistress to the king just a plain ol' prostitute.
OH WELL!

I am Bi-Polar

People who are not do not understand.Swinging moods.A sense of hopelessness. A overwhelming feeling of combustion. An urge to scream when there is no need but you feel it so intensely. Jittery. Sluggishness. Rage. A feeling of being incomplete and not knowing how to become complete.
This all began during my teenage years. Most people just thought I was trouble and I became convinced as well that I was. No one understood and I mean no one. The teachers then did not know how to handle what I was. A few were sympathetic. I began to see the light when I attempted suicide and my parents found a note to a friend about why. That began my spiral with psychiatrist and counselors. My parents changed my school because they thought it was my friends. It wasn't it was me. I became involved in an abusive relationship. Found new friends who were worse than me but the school covered for us all because they had a rep to uphold.
I feel an episode coming on. I'm not medicated at present which is a mistake that I know is large. I wrote once upon a time and it helped me alot. I have had block for quite a few years now. One day I hope to recover. I try it just doesn't work.

A good variety of places to live.
