I can't think of a creative name.

I am way to busy.

Monday: School, Babysit for church
Tuesday: School, Babysit for Kathy
Wednesday: School, Peggy's small group or The Love Alliance
Thursday: School
Friday: School, Babysit for Kathy
Saturday: Every other week Babysit for Shannon
Sunday: Sunday Morning Bible Study,Church/Childcare, The Stirring

I have no time for rest, it is so hard for me to say no. Over the summer I had two people that wanted me to babysit for them, and instead of saying o to one of them I said that I'd work for both.

Mon:Kathy
Tues:Kathy
Wed:Kathy
Thurs:Shannon
Fri:Shannon
Sat:Every other week Shannon
Sun: Nothing...yet

I feel good that I will be making bank this summer, but is it really worth it?

I said yes because the one family goes through babysitters like nothing, and I didn't want to be the flaky one for the kids. I never had a babysitter, and if I did I know that I wold at least want someone that stayed around for a while.

Kathy was talking to me and saying something about maybe taking on a 9 hour shift. 9 hours! With 3 kids! 3 days a week!

And on top of it I said I would do West Oakland and Las Vegas! What is my problem?


I don't know what to do.
My friends. I'm not sure if they'll miss me, But I know I'll be missing them.

God's given me this amazing job opportunity, but I need to say no to something.
I just don't know what yet.

....Get it?

Today I became someone I was not.

I protested.
I didn't want to.
I gave in.

I didn't realize how powerful peer pressure was. I usually stay away from the 'classic' peer pressure issues.

I was a jerk.

I'm so frustrated, I knew I shouldn't have said what I said, but everyone was telling me to. They told me to grow some balls, ironic I know. I was mad.

Everyone said, I needed to say it, but I didn't.
I'm sorry, I'm a wuss, maybe I'm feeling bad for something that's not a big deal to everyone else. But I feel bad about things that would make me feel bad, if they were done to me.

...Get it?

I've been made fun of on many occasions. Maybe I am a wuss, or maybe I'm just not accustom to getting hurt.
Either way I need to make some changes.

My summing up what I've been meaning to write

So much is happening in my life and I don't know how to sum it up. I keep on meaning to right a blog but I'm either to frustrated or to lazy

So here's a list to keep me on track.

Dad.
Truck.
Youth Group.

Dad. My father is now going on SSC disability. Which means we don’t' have insurance, a nd he legally does not have to pay child support. It's so frustrating, last week he called me to come out and talk to him, so I did. When I got out there we had some small talk, and then he said "I've been a bad dad and I'm sorry, I just hope you can understand..." this is where I thought 'Oh maybe something will change!' NOPE! then he says, "I'm just sick, your father has a mental illness. It's not his fault. I'm just really sick."

WRONG ANSWER! Oh, it made me so mad. for once I thought that my dad was going to change that I was going to be able to have a relationship with him. Nope, he's just sick. But he's only sick because he's over dousing on his med's and downing it with a beer.

For some reason his new 'sickness' covers up for the last 17 years of my life that he hasn't been there.

I start feeling bad because I start thinking that it's my fault. 'I never was there for him, I was never a real daughter.' But I think again he's my dad, isn't he supposed to be helping me not the other way around?

My Truck. I GOT IT! And it works, for now, and I have my stereo! I'm really nervous that it's going to die, because everything that I get either dies, or something happens to it. But it's a really ugly crappy truck, but I love it!!!! I feel very cool....until I step outside and realize everyone else thinks I stole my truck from a hobo. But I still love it.
