Blanks!!

Did you ever keep shooting for something, aim rite at it, know for sure you hit it, then look and you were so far off target that you were no where near what you aimed for. I know for sure I must be shooting blanks. I never seem to hit what I aim for in a relationship.

My boyfriend of eight years sucks!! The fact that I can say that is enough alone to break this thing off before we both waste anymore of our time.

Blah Blah Blah I dont even feel like writing about it!!

Who me? Have a lot of jobs?









It seems I'm always busy. Is this something I do unintentionally on purpose?
I am 37 years old and have had more professions than anyone I know. Always doing something else. Always moving. I started out attending the tech school and did about a year and a half of accounting at the same time working as a hair dresser. The lack of support from my boyfriend kept me from finishing the accounting degree and after about eight years of that I decided there had to be more money out there to be made. I started my boyfriends dream business and helped him run that for about 4 years and then he just ran it himself and I found myself once again bored and unfulfilled. My dad was an independent truck driver so I decided to venture into the Transportation industry. I bought one truck that turned into two. Now there was some extra money. Still didn't involve much of my time. I ventured into the Real Estate business. Three months of schooling and about a year of that and I decided I couldn't deal with the snobs and the egos in that line of business. Hmmmmmm......Now what? Oh that's rite, I took a class called ONOW (orientation to nontraditional occupations in the workplace). Yeah I wanted a mans job with a mans pay. From that class got a summer help job at the local auto making company. I made 75% of the regular hourly pay and that was the most money I had ever made. Not only that, I actually liked the work environment and the people. I decided that is where I wanted to work. Now at that time it was almost impossible to get a job there and everyone laughed at me and said you'll never get in. I knew eventually I would, that's just me I find a way to make anything happen. It would take time I had a lot of studying to do. You had to pass a test to get on the hiring list and you had to ace it to get hired. Erstwhile I got a job at another union shop. I hated this job. It was the crappiest place I had ever worked but the pay was above average so I stayed. Then the day came the call from the biggest of the big 3 auto companies. I aced the test and was number one on the list to be hired. It was only a matter of time. I immediately quit the job at the crappy factory. Eight months later I landed what I thought was the perfect job. A Die maker at the highest paying factory in America. I have the highest paying job as an hourly employ. I still had the two semi trucks and that eventually grew into 10 trucks. I was raking in the cash!! What I didn't realize, with one truck taking a small amount of time ten trucks were consuming my life. I worked morning noon and night and on top of that attending every sporting event my son and daughter had. We did movies once a week for a while, usually on Sunday and vacationed once a year and camped and jet skied. I don't know how I managed except I woke up one day and I was tired. So I quit, that simple, that fast, I quit the Trucking industry. Sold some of the equipment and parked all but one. Back to simple!! But now I'm back to broke. Payments still need to be made and I'm barely making them. Broke again but proud. For once in my life I chose my time and me over money and the drive to succeed. Sometimes being broke is depressing but i just keep in mind that God himself will not give me more that I can handle and he will carry me through, one way or another.

Here I am with all of this spare time. Next thing I know I'm registered and attending school full time. Now I want to be a Nurse. LOL!! What is with me? Actually, I am in fear of losing my perfect job (due to idiotic american people buying foreign cars) The need for the auto industry to compete with these foreign companies has led to shipping jobs out of the country so they can get away with paying the same crap wage that our competitors pay.

How did I decide on nursing? I was looking at my senior scrap book and I noticed that as my future occupation I thought I would be a RN. I believe that children and young adults look at life in a very clear and uncorrupt way and decided to take my own youthful advice. Will I ever be a Nurse. Yes I will finish the school but as long as I have my current job I will never leave. I may someday do both as my youngest only has 3 years of school left. I am sure when he is gone I once again will find myself bored. And again I will work to succeed.

MORON!!!


My youngest sister has ruined her oldest son. She has also helped my daughter along the way with her drug and alcohol abuse. She has two lovely daughters whom I love to death. They are at an age that I think they could still be saved from the moron ( sister). They are 12 and 8 and she has been leaving them home alone til 5 am (all night) every weekend for about 3 years. My niece use to be a TAG (that is talented and gifted) student. Now she is barely passing the seventh grade. The moron when she does come home, drunk and coked up, keeps these kids awake all night with her stupidity that she rarely remembers in the morning. She had 3 kids by the age of 18 and two of them died in a house fire that the oldest one started. He was 3 and playing with a lighter no fault of his. He didn't know any better. When moron is being her drunken self she tells him it was his fault, and that he killed his sister and brother. She's an ass! She infuriates me. She needs help and refuses to get it. And he is paying for it. He has been in so much trouble, he'll probably be in prison within the year. That's something to look forward to at 18 years old. She never did anything to help him. She just ignored him. He was her slave and babysitter. One time my son went to her house to play with him when they were younger . He called me shortly after he got there and had me pick him up. Why? Because he said my nephew wasn't allowed to do anything. Every time they would start to play moron would have a slave chore for him. My son went there 2 or 3 times and it was always the same so he just didn't bother to go at all.
I wish there was away I could take two nieces from her. They need to be saved!! God help them.

Pardon the picture but it suits her so well!!
