beginning my blog

i figured i would start a blog. i think it would do me some good to vent about things. i am having a hard time dealing with david being gone. he is my lifeline and i am struggling to keep my head above water without him around.

well, anyway....its just me and the dogs and the cat here. they can be annoying but they are also very cuddly. they know when i need comforting. i love them.  hopefully i have the chance to add a pit to the family when david gets home ;)

so i slept pretty much all day. i have been restless for the last month. sleeping all day was a bad idea, obviously. i am going to stuggle to sleep tonight. no more sleeping in for this girl! i am back to a full-time job. but more on that later.  i mowed the lawn this evening. the yard was a flippin' mess from me being gone for 2 weeks. the weeds are growing like crazy. i am going to have to invest in some yard products like weed prevention as well as tools for trimming bushes and trees. eventually i would like to try and start a garden although i am not sure how well that will work in the desert heat.  so when i was mowing the lawn i noticed one of the sprinkler heads was loose but it was on the edge of the yard so i wasnt sure if it was mine or the neighbors. so i went to the neighbors house to ask about it. i dont know how to fix that stuff.  the guy answers the door "yes?" how rude! i tell him about it, tell him i dont know if its mine or his and that i dont know how to fix it. i tell him david is gone and i dont know how to do this yard stuff.  no offer to help or anything. not that i wanted him to offer, but how rude. ugh...sad because his daughters are so nice. but anyway, forget him.

well, this is just the start of my blog. more of a test run. i think this is going to be a good way to let the family and friends now how i am and what i am up to. it is also an opportunity for me to release my thoughts and try to relax.

i will try and remember to write tomorrow about my new job. (:

Love, ME
