 Hard Day
 

Well Sweetie has gone to bed early so now I can write it out without worrying about him reading over my soldier or me babysitting. You see right now his mother and step-father are in the process of getting a divorce. It became messy on Friday during my girls day with Mac. Sweetie's step-father is fighting back. Now before you start feeling bad about him I should tell you more about him. Sweetie's step-father who we shall call P was abusive during their entire marriage. He was never physically abusive but was extremely emotionally abusive. Because of this my Sweetie is disabled. This man who is in his early 80s and has been claiming to be dying for the past 25 wants as much as he can get. This man has NEVER done much of anything. Mom paid the bills, she has done everything. Sometimes he would pay insurance but that would be it. He'd bring home a gallon of milk and say that he did the groceries. He was earning more money than she was yet SHE was footing the bills! What did he spend his money on? Himself, his friends, himself. Yes I repeated myself on purpose. He'd use HER money to pay the bills and such, but HIS money was used for him alone. He would use it to go on vacation (by himself or with his friends, never with Mom). Now when Mom's mother died and left her some money Mom paid off the mortgage for the house. P eventually put the house in Mom's name only. Saying she paid for the majority of it, it should be in her name only. The land was HERS to begin with it came from her mother. Now P wants enough to get a place in Florida (currently he's living with his girlfriend in the next town over). This is NOT fair. The money from the sale of the house is supposed to buy us a new place in Massachusetts. NOT FOR HIM!!!! He has NO rights to it. I could go on and on but I don't to.

Anyway, I mentioned before that when Sweetie gets really depressed he cuts himself. Well today he ALMOST cut himself again. I've hidden the razors already, the only one he gets is the one he's currently using! But he took that one and almost sliced his wrist. We called his counselor and made an appointment for Thursday (our regular day) and I almost had to call the crisis line again. I gave him one of his pills and gave him one of the cats and he calmed down. We let him pick supper tonight and I've been snacking more than I should and ate more than I should at supper but after the stress of today I just don't care! I'm hating myself pretty bad at the moment because for a split second I almost.... no I can't even say it here it was too bad. Needless to say I was in a very bad place earlier. I've calmed down some and Sweetie is sleeping, he'll be touch and go for a few days but it'll be ok.

Sometimes I just don't know how much more of this I can handle. Don't get me wrong, we have some good times, many really good times, but we've got some bad times too and our bad times are REALLY bad. After all of this, I still love him, I love him more than anything. But what does this say about me? He keeps telling me I deserve someone better. What happens if I up and decide one day that I do? I can't bear to think about that. I feel if that happened I would lose everything. I couldn't even cry earlier. I always cry when he gets like this. Often times that's what turns the tables on him and gets him to be ok as he says that he hates to see me hurt. What does this mean that I didn't cry tonight? Am I becoming numb to this antics? Worse, am I getting used to them? Worst, am I starting to accept them? I don't know what to do but I sure as hell can't leave him alone.

For those of you new to my blog I'm sorry you had to find this. This is just part of my life.

 Ghost Story #1 - H's House
 

This first one I'm going to tell happened in approximately 1997 or so. Could have been the year before, could have been the year after, it's not important when.

Anyway, I was over at H's house and her boyfriend G was there. G told us that he could see ghosts and he knew things. Now he COULD have been pulling our leg. But what happened throughout this evening and other stories I was told made me believe him. H said her house was haunted. Her uncle built the house and used to live there. He was now dead at this time. Throughout this evening she was telling us stories of things that happened in this house. My favorite was the time (actually this happened more than once), the entire family was sitting in the living room watching tv. The stairs to go upstairs were in the living room as well. H's dog was upstairs. They heard something sliding around upstairs so they shut their tv off. Next thing they saw was the dog sliding down the stairs (on a rug mind you) with his collar pulled out as if someone was dragging him down the stairs!!!! The dog was so frightened he had put the skids on the whole way. When he got down into the living room he took off with a whine and tail between his legs and hid. This happened to that poor dog more than once, but not the night I was there. I was mildly disappointed. I enjoy ghostly phenomena.

Anyway, that night while we were sharing ghost stories I felt something cold run through me. It didn't go up and down it went from back to front. I was sitting in a chair that was sitting kitty corner in the room. The only thing behind the chair was a light and I could feel it's warmth except when that ghost walked through me. I believe it was H's uncle. The night did not end there. It seemed H's uncle wanted to hang out with us for a bit. After awhile G was standing at the bottom of the stairs (in the direction that I felt the ghost walk through me actually). He looked up and told us that H's uncle was upstairs looking down at us. So of course we all rushed to the stairs to see (did I forget to mention there were about 5 of us there? oops lol). G pointed him out to us and the others (except H, she wasn't looking) said they could see him. I went aside to H and told her I couldn't see him. I was so disappointed. That's when H pointed him out to me. He wasn't actually standing where G said, G was just testing us. I saw him!!!!! I really saw where he was then.

I hope you enjoyed this one.

 Twenty Dollars
 

A little joke my mother in law sent me. I'll post more later but as it's getting close to 4am I should really head to bed in a few.
 

 
TWENTY DOLLARS
 
On their wedding night, the young bride approached her new husband and asked for $20.00 for their first lovemaking encounter. In his highly aroused state, her husband readily agreed. This scenario was repeated each time they made love, for more than 30 years, with him thinking that it was a cute way for her to afford new clothes and other incidentals that she needed.
 
Arriving home around noon one day, she was surprised to find her husband in a very drunken state. During the next few minutes, he explained that his employer was going through a process of corporate downsizing, and he had been let go. It was unlikely that, at the age of 59, he'd be able to find another position that paid anywhere near what he'd been earning, and therefore, they were financially ruined.
 
Calmly, his wife handed him a bank book which showed more than thirty years of steady deposits and interest totaling nearly $1 million. Then she showed him certificates of deposits issued by the bank which were worth over $2 million, and informed him that they were one of the largest depositors in the bank. She explained that for the more than three decades she had "charged" him for sex, these holdings had multiplied and these were the results of her savings and investments.
 
Faced with evidence of cash and investments worth over $3 million, her husband was so astounded he could barely speak, but finally he found his voice and blurted out, "If I'd had any idea what you were doing, I would have given you all my business!"
 
That's when she shot him.
 
You know, sometimes, men just don't know when to keep their mouths shut!

 I almost just peed my pants laughing so hard!
 

So I have a late night meal in the microwave (as I haven't had enough calories for the day... again...) and as I was heading out to go get it I was walking backwards towards my Sweetie. You see, Sweetie REALLY likes my butt. And I like it when I walk by and squeezes it, or caresses it and sometimes I fool around and make him kiss my butt cheeks. I know... I know... weird... but it's all in good fun. Well anyway, I was walking backwards towards him and I lifted my nightgown to show him my panties and I get closer he says "OMG I can smell it from here" Remember now that I've got some food in the microwave. Which is from Helen's Kitchen and it's Indian Curry. He WAS talking about the food and I knew that but it was just so damn funny.

I guess you just had to be there.

 Went for a walk
 

Tonight Sweetie and I want for a walk. I know I've said it before on here but we've been trying to lose weight and are trying a sensible diet plan. When we walked at first I got out of breath really fast and my calves hurt really bad. So we stopped after about almost half a mile and stretched some more (I had stretched a little back at the house but evidently not my calves). After a few minutes more walking I was no longer breathing hard and I was just enjoying myself. I tried to notice my surroundings more. One of my neighbors has these really pretty red flowers at their mailbox, tonight I noticed there are now some yellow ones as well. I also noticed that there are a couple of trees next to our mailbox that have mostly fallen down that we'll need to take down soon before winter comes cause they could potentially fall in the road and cause problems.
 
We were getting close to the halfway point (to the point where we call it the bar - it's a piece of road where there is water on both sides and from the air it looks like it was a bar - Sweetie told me that it's man made as the beyond that was an island) and I noticed the sunlight streaming through the clouds shining down on one of the islands. It was beautiful, it was so golden. Now those that know me know that I'm not very aware of my surroundings. I'm horrible with directions and just don't care usually. I'd rather hurry up and finish the walk so I could come back to my computer. Well I'm trying to change that. Tonight I was noticing everything, or at least trying to. The pretty shades of blue in the sky, in the water, in the air. I just wanted to take a picture, but I didn't take my camera as it looked like rain and it did sprinkle a little while we were out.
 
When we got to the halfway point we decided to stop and sit on a rock and stare at the ocean for awhile (yes we live on the water). I watched some ducks dive under and I'd worry when they didn't come up right away. I guess they can breath under water longer than I thought they could. Sitting on the rock cuddled against my Sweetie with his arms around me was very nice. We relaxed and I felt very content. I felt that the problems of the world could just slip under the surface of the water and go away. I could have stayed longer but he didn't. He wanted to get back home as it was getting close to supper time. So after about 10 minutes we left. I count myself very lucky that we stayed that long.
 
Tonight I called my mother to check in (she went moose hunting last week with some friends - they caught one that weighed in at over 600lbs). Apparently my grandmother is having surgery tomorrow. She's having a heart catherization and a stent put in because she has some blockage. For those of you that pray I'd appreciate any prayers you would like to give.
 
While talking to my mother Sweetie got annoyed with me. He HATES it when I talk on the phone. Makes me feel like this. I just have no place to go that is just MY space when I want to talk on the phone. Can't go in the bedroom as he can hear me in there, can't go out in the other side of the celler (I live in my mother in laws basement) as then the phone gets a little crackly and when the furnace comes on it's loud. I can't go upstairs cause my mother in law's tv is too loud and I just wouldn't have any privacy. When we move, I'm going to make sure I have *MY* own space.
 
Well today is Monday so I'm going to post a picture. This was taken in the woods near our house earlier this year.  I actually laid on the ground to take this photo.  Enjoy!
