I'm almost 40. And I havent written a blog in a long assss time. What up?!!!

So I forgot I even had a blog.

I just read most of those old ass entries and I'm over here cracking up.

So much has changed.

Most importantly, K is 11 and almost 12 and she is a pre-teen attitude machine who smells pretty bad most of the time. I try to make her wash but everything is a struggle. I even smell her underarms and go check the tub to make sure its wet. Then sniff her towel to make sure she really used soap.

Sometimes she turns on the shower and lets the water run while washing her underarms in the sink. Those times I will check her and she is dry everywhere else, then I have to yell and make her wash for real while I sit on the toilet next to the shower posting on FB.

I'm pretty sure she hates me. But I'm ok with that as long as she smells good while doing it.

I'm still single.

Pretty much didn't work out with the long distance dude. Even though I still care for him. I can't be with someone who treats me unkindly. I have enough problems.

Also, I've been celibate for the past 4 years. I just really got tired of being with guys who just wanted sex. Like, all they want is sex. Like Friends with Benefits but the only benefit is sex. Like, if I'm moving I can't call  you to help me with my couch but you want boink me on it after its in the new apartment. Naw, son. Nope.

All of a sudden it became cool to have a "main chick" and a "side chick" and a mistress. But all these chicks are supposed to be faithful to this one guy. I can't even deal. Nope.
So the hot box is closed for business. Until......I'm not sure. But telling men you have been celibate for 4 years sure runs off the panty sniffers in a hurry.

I'm still a social worker (duh, I didn't go to grad school por nada)

The Re-entry gig ended in 2012. It ended badly too. My program was shut down and funding moved somewhere else. My heart was shattered in a million pieces.  I was unemployed for a while (I heard the term over-qualified a lot) and had a bit of a financial disaster. Moved in with my Dad for 2 years (that was interesting). Then we moved to the suburbs in 2014 and have been out there ever since.

Oh, I also had a stalker (long story, maybe one day I'll tell it).

As far as my Social Work career goes, I got my LMSW in 2013 and a few days ago (literally 10 days ago) I finally got my LCSW. So now I need a new job. The job I have now is not the move for me and I can't wait to get out of this place.

Wow this is depressing. Did anything else happen...

Oh, my cat died. RIP Tigger!

He deserves a shoutout. He was 15 years old (maybe 16. He was old as shit).

So that's the updates. Now I will keep writing some new posts....yipppeee.

Type to you soon.

Is anyone reading this???

Help me be a better Mommy

I just want to say hello everyone.
I have never had a blog before and I have to warn you that im a terrible speller and always have been.
Today is Monday and I had an ok weekend.
My father and I took my daughter fishing in Phoenix- a lil town close to where I live.
So we caught some fish but K- my daughter was being hard headed and not listening like she always does and put herself in danger- she fell in the water 2 times.
Luckily we had picked a spot where the water by the shore is like 3 inches deep so she was just scared and wet.
I changed her clothes and told her to sit down. She kept jumping up and down and guess what? Fell in the water again.

I just get really frustrated with her because she never listens to me. Time out doesn't work, spankings don't work and yelling does not work. If i tell her to stop jumping around I want her to do it. I mean Im not a dictator or anything- but I tell her to do things for a reason- usually to keep her safe. When she doesn't listen it makes me fear for her safety and also worry about how she is going to do at school when she goes.

Ok so Im at work and supposed to be working so--I'll end this now.
