Hello. In case you've forgotten who I am, I'm Naomi.
Man! I miss my online time. I'm jonesing for all my friends and the blogosphere. I'm miserable. (Again, I know I'm a bit dramatic but it's how I feel.)
I lost my internet days ago, and finally the phone has been temporarily disconnected as of this morning. It sucks. BLAH!! I seriously need to find myself a sugar daddy. At this point, a sugar mama would be good too.
I'm sitting here at the public library trying my best to enjoy my what little time I can have online. The chick at Lab Computer 1 is bugging the hell out of me with computer questions. "Um, excuse me but I don't work here. I'm trying to get what computer time I can in. LEAVE ME ALONE!!!"
So, I'm trying to read everyone's blog and seriously feel this overwhelming pressure in my head. I think it's going to explode from the overload. I feel so disconnected from everyone. I've got a million emails to write....so it feels...and I'm suppose to get off the computer in less than an hour. AGGGGHHHHH!!!
...
Ok, moving on.
I've had a couple of Workfare days under my belt. The site is absolutely boring. I sit in the overheated mailroom answering phones. I either a)put them on hold or b)give them a phone number to call. That's it. I spend more time twiddling my thumbs.
I really need a job. DESPARATELY! I wonder how I can get into hooking.
haha...That's a joke. Don't call CPS on me. hee hee
My sis and nephews came into town this weekend. As usual, it was fantastic to spend time with them. We went to the beach on Saturday. Sun and surf. I love the beach. That evening, Em and I watched the boys while Jenn went to the casinos with Mrs. Devine in Mississippi. Zavier and Linkin spent the night with us. My child is completely in love with her cousins.
Abrupt change of subject: Life is ok. I'm not feeling as down as I have in the past but the severe lack of money is very upsetting. I feel I'm really losing my identity and my joy because of money. I think I may have stated this before but I really hate money. I'm not worshipping it but money definitely has become a golden idol in my life. So much time spent thinking about not having it, what things I'm losing because of it, how I can find some to just scrape by, all that jolly rot.
I'm still putting in applications. I returned one yesterday to a veterinary hospital. I know I'm obsessing on this but how am I suppose to get call backs for interviews if I have no phone due to my lack of funds (see, what I'm talking about? Golden Idol). People, bit of advice...horde as much money as possible for those horrible rainy days. It's not a joke. I know it's easier said than done. I was never able to save anything because as soon as something was in my savings account, some miserable circumstance would occur and deplete my funds. BUT if you can... SAVE, SAVE, SAVE!
Aside from money and stresses, life is pretty quiet. We think Sophie, one of our cats, is pregnant. I'm not happy with the thought. If she is, all the kittens will have to have homes. I dread the idea of taking them to the shelter; but if a free kitten can't find a home, I must do what I can. I am a strong believer in spaying and neutering our domesticated animals. I don't like overpopulation and euthanizing them is a horrible thought. Unfortunately (here comes the ugly horned beast again) I had no funds to spay my cats when I got them nearly a year ago. AND Sophie got out one evening a couple weeks ago and didn't return until the next day. So, I pray she isn't pregnant but there is more than a good possibility that she is.
Emma's last day of school is Friday, and she is thrilled. Hopefully, this summer will be as thrilling as she hopes.
God, I miss you all so much. I don't do well with no means of communication.
sigh.....
Ok, I'm rambling and would continue to do so if I let myself. I need to post this before I'm booted from the computer. If I could, I would squeeze each one of you to me and kiss and hug you and inhale your essences. I hope you haven't forgotten me.
Naomi,
I'm glad to "hear" you are doing well. I know all about that money idol thing. I have never been able to save any for the same reasons. Lets see in the last couple weeks its been my dryer died now I have to repair it and I know that is gonna be almost $200 or more and to replace it I thought it would be only slightly more... ha ha ha try nearly $400 geez what is this world coming to? Then my husband's truck broke down another $300 down the drain. I hate the unexpected stuff. Then though we knew about the house property tax we kinda forgot about when that came due and how much that was so geez there goes the rest and now I'm more than broke. So Nae, you are not alone. I will pray for us both Nae that we may be able to get through these tough times and make it through. I hope you find a job soon and that life returns to "normal" I hate that word. And oh my gosh lets not even talk about the price of gas. I can't drive to anything more than getting the kids to and from school, grocery store (if there is anything left to buy groceries with) and doctors appointments. Geez I hope my next life has me rich, healthy and happy in all aspects and that my entire family is also. Or that there is no next life and I have one very special heaven.

Hey Nae! I miss you tons! I've been absent as well, out of town in Florida even, though much farther south than you. My fam is beginning to plan a trip down to Perdido Key on July 4th weekend. That's near you, isn't it? Maybe we could get together for sushi? I'll keep you posted when the plan comes together. hugs!
