Mother Scratcher
Ok, I couldn't resist stealing that from Clemsongirl! But I am upset. Really. Upset. I like that freakin' Miley Cyrus song "The Climb". I like it alot alot. But that girl makes my skin crawl. I am sure I am going to break down and buy it because it will be a really good running song, but it KILLS me to support that. I have yet to buy any Britney songs on principle alone...and she has some great running songs. I guess I could just suck it up and buy them anyway. Then when I am running, I will love the song and hate the singer and run even harder?! We will see...
Jon Minus Kate Plus 8
For those of you who having just been on the edge of your seat waiting for me to post something, sorry. I am lazy and I much prefer reading other blogs that writing on mine. Although I jest and I am sure nobody noticed my absence...it is time for me to weigh in on Kon. Seriously, whatever he has been doing...who can blame him??? I don't necessarily think he made bad choices because I believe they have some sort of an agreement for him (and her) to do whatever pleases them. I think he really didn't expect to be in the middle of paparrazi, which is naive, but still understandable given he thinks he is "just Jon".
Personally, I believe that there is no way in hell he would have been going out without Kate's permission. Why would he want to get "caught" in the middle of that wrath? She would have taken his balls out of her purse, put them in a vice and dumped them in a dixie cup before she handed them to him.
They need to stop the show and part ways in private. However, I think they are too deep into the cashcow and won't let it go. I really do feel bad for the kids. I have never watched the show for the kids anyway. I am always interested in seeing how Jon and Kate react to things. I will be interested in seeing how this ends up!

Drop It Like It's Hot
Early on Sunday morning we were getting ready to go get some breakfast before heading to church. Darrell is walking through the living room and J.T. asks "where are you going Daddy?" Darrell replies "I have to poop, son." J.T. then simply asks "Are you going to drop one deuce or two?" That kid never ceases to amaze me!

i-Moron
So I wanted to get some more upbeat music on my ipod for the race today. I got everything set up last night. While I have been running on Saturdays, I had noticed that my playlist was not set up to repeat. I remembered that last night, so I went in to change the settings. I went to "repeat" and out to the side it said "one". Well, I thought that meant repeat the list once. In case you are wondering, it means repeat ONE song. I thought a nice easy song to start out to would be "Simply the Best" by Tina Turner. When I was about half-way through the first mile, I started thinking, Wow...this is a long song! So I kept waiting for it to go off and it did...and started again! So, instead of stopping to fix it I just listened to the one song for the entire 3.1 miles! Even though it was very encouraging, I wonder how fast I would have been if my "one" song had been "Move Bitch"???!!!! I am glad it happened today instead of 1/2 marathon day!
On a side note, does anyone know anyone who works with a hotel chain that could possibly help me get a room on West End the night before the race??? I am not liking the idea of getting up at 4 to get a shuttle at 6 to wait for my start time sometime after 8!

Just So You Know
Dear Publix Bagger Lady,
Please do not instruct my children to sit down while they are in the rocket ship cart. Yes, I understand that they could fall. No, I don't want them to get hurt. I can only tell them so many times, and then I am done. If they fall on their heads, I will blame them for not listening. Yes, I would also be to blame. I could understand your concern if we were moving throughout the store, but we weren't. We were just checking out and you were hindering that process by distracting me from my role in the check-out process.
And I really do appreciate your carry-out service, mainly because I don't like to deal with the cart once I am done with it. But please, do not drive my cart to my car as my daughter DOES.NOT.LIKE.IT. Not.one.bit. That would be why she was stuck like a pretzel down in the foot area of the rocket ship cart, wedged between the cart and her brother's feet. Next time, please just let me lead the way and you can follow.
I would say sorry for the abandoned suckers and cookie remnants in the cart, but I'm not.
If you would like, I would be happy to conduct any of the above training with you and all of your peers.
Thanks for pissing me off today, I almost went a whole day without that happening.
Truly,
Julie

In A Rut
I am in a rut. I feel like everyday is the same and all the days are just running into one another. It feels like I am in the movie "Groundhog Day". I'll never forget going to see this movie with my friend Bridgett at the theater and she kept falling asleep. Everytime she would wake up, the same thing would be on the screen! I am having a hard time finding my joy. I love my husband and kids, but this responsibility bullshit is really taking a toll on me. My house is a complete and total wreck and I cannot find the motivation to get it in order. Everyday I can manage to do laundry and dishes, but we have piles of shit everywhere and I just can't make myself do anything about it because when I do, it seems to just turn into more piles. I am stressed about finances, but choosing to bury my head in the sand. I am sick and tired of being the only one in this house who knows anything about anything. I love Darrell with all my heart, but I feel like we are in a relationship rut too, and I don't know what to do about it. He thinks if he tells me how much he loves me and how committed he is to me, then that is good for our relationship. Well, it is, but that is what I already know...show me something different.
Does anyone have any advice for me? I'm tired of my life, and I don't like the way that sounds. Right now I just feel like running away, temporarily. I just need a break.
Another part of my problem is my mother's mother. I would call her my grandmother, but that is somewhat a term of endearment and I have decided I hate that bitch. Don't judge me. It's a fact. She is ruining my parents' lives and for some odd reason my mother is letting her. She can't take care of herself (partly just because she won't) and she completely manipulates my mother. She's too poor to afford a nursing home, but brings in just enough not to qualify for medicaid. Had I been smart enough to realize a couple of years ago that she would have qualified for medicaid, I would have suggested it then. I didn't understand the whole medicare/medicaid setup. I try giving my mother advice, but she doesn't listen. I have told her how I feel about her mother. I don't understand why she just can't die already. This same shit has been going on for over 5 years now. Her mother is C.R.A.Z.Y. I worry daily about my mom and the effect all of this is having on her. I also selfishly worry about me and the fact that I want my mom and I can't have her. I wish I could just have some peace about all of this so that I can get past it. I have tried, but it just doesn't seem to to be working. There is only one solution, and I am not in charge of that.
