Saturday at Joe's, what is what's not and what will be
People can say so much with their eyes not a word has to be spoken to know what they're saying to know every word when he said wait and looked at his helper I knew so no I will not be going there for New Year's Eve sorry to disappoint both those within and without. Anyway until they put a bar in his bathroom that's not 2 feet away from the toilet as the present one I won't be staying there. I went from 12:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. without going to the bathroom quite a feat
I said to him too bad we can't pick up your house and move it. He said well all of all my friends are here. I or somebody said well you want us to leave all our friends. Minus the plural sense and he said I have the house I see how this goes his aid kept making remarks about me coming there to stay it was driving me crazy and Joe kept saying wait she will. Yes it was a lot of pressure and yes it's only convinced me more that I am staying right here
I didn't go to church today I wasn't up to being Christian or nice and kind I didn't go to Stacy's daughters party either as I was not up to being social something is to be said for silence the silence that disconnects you from every one especially your self as for me? That is the best silence of all
The silence will continue because there is no need for my words there is no need for anybody's words because after all so much could be said without words
From the silence that is me

so tired filled with Sadness
she said she was sorry or something can't remember it didnt really mean much to me I guess cause she seems to always think of herself and what she is dealing with/ maybe some ppl just cant give back? maybe she is one of those ppl? don't know, I am just hurting so bad, and when I reach out so someone I always have been there for, its hard when they are not there it hurts
to tell someone your hurting and its like you said nothing? I need someone to hear me, and to care I need more than ONE when there are so many I need someone help please tears aren't stopping sadness isn't easing, it has filled every inch of me

feeling so sad and stupid
I said well maybe someday cause I think a lot of the things that are going on have lots to do with programming and I dont think their T knows enough about that to help and they went off line, I am just worried that maybe they felt hopeless about everything cause I said that? yes I know the T would say that's is their issue, but we try so hard to be careful with our words and the last think we want to do is hurt someone when things are so hard already :( I feel like an idiot
all I want to do is get in bed and stay there, I hate there is so much evil in the world so much abuse I just hate it
I dont wanna go out tomorrow but I will make myselves :(
mixed of bunch of mixups

goodnight to me myself and I

Lonely frustrated and scared
Today is Friday I went out with Stacy to lunch in the movie we saw Michael Clayton it was a really good movie and I went to Wal-Mart and got Olsen to drummel that I wanted to tomorrow is the festival at the church gosh how I don't want to go I am still fighting the urge to self injure it's taking so much out of me I am trying my best I am so unhappy at this moment I feel so invisible I feel like nobody knows how much I I am hurting, and I guess that's true no one does I feel so alone so far away from everything and everyone I wish so much I could give up
I should've went to bed a couple of hours ago like I planned but now it's 10:30 p.m. I am so sad so tired so lost
I am going to go having trouble focusing on the screen don't want to switch who knows if I go to bed so better leave while I still have the power to do so I hate this life I hate the way I am

frustrated totally
Not firmly planted either, I think I am suppose to go out with Dan his wife and that guy he wants me to meet, but I not sure, I called him twice yesterday left a message for him to call me cause I am not sure when we are suppose to meet, he is playing golf, so left two messages for his wife to call me because if its tomorrow I need to make my transport arrangements, she hasnt called so if it is tomorrow and she doesnt call on time I am not going to be able to go. I am going to the school tomorrow cause I told another teacher I will come to speak to his students about Olsen so will make that trip and F him
the parents are here they bought a stand for the TV because the reason I am having so much trouble seeing it is cause of the angle I look from when in bed, so this will fix that cause it could move all over, but the cable ppl said besides that my signal isnt good so they are coming out thursday.
I am so down, hate myself right now hate DID and everything it brings and hate them for abusing me in the first place :(

ramblings from me and the wall
Today is Wednesday, I'm still not used to going to the therapist on Wednesday it kind of messes up my whole week just that little change. The teacher called back that wanted us to speak to his class tomorrow saying that he forgot the schedule change so now somehow we agreed to do all his classes on Tuesday instead of the two classes that is a lot of classes and we are idiots for agreeing to it poor Olsen
We are really tired I think we are going to take our medicine and go to bed really soon one disadvantage of being multiple is never being able to truly take a vacation you're all stuck together whether you want to be or not and it stinks totally
and no one gets paid for their service's no retirement fund, no overtimepay and no sick time totally unfair what did we do to deserve this? Abuse to be abused again, over and over and over there is no way to leave it. There is no way to leave us and there is no way to leave the people that hurt us because they are burned in our memory and in our minds are pictures that we see. They Affect our body our ability to function our energy our dreams and our nightmares why are we holding certain ones off maybe they are right maybe they have the right idea? Okay so things happen so what? Move on already! Why are we being tortured? Seeing it, hearing it and feeling? Personally I want out!
Whoever I am, I am not me I am not you I am nothing no one no where invisible no one sees me no one knows me no one hears me just i am here, when you need me but yet I am not free I am stuck in the body that I don't want people that I don't like against my will I am here there is no fear there is just hate because there's no escape never forever I'm here even though I thought I had disappeared it was a cruel joke that no one spoke until I found myself once again. I will never be your friend, I was never meant to be a friend, to be understood or cared about, just part of the wall that broke now there are too many holes too much to unfold, this is not what was suppose to happen this is not what I want, but no one cares so why should I? the one who is not enough to have a name part of the numb ppl

Back again
He told her he needed her? she told him that she did love him ect so there is a total war in here now, on top of that hearing about the boy that was so abused at freedom village has brought up so much shit this is not good, we are trying really hard not to self harm but the urge is really strong
wish it wasn't there, but it is so many are mad about so many different things dont know what to do, just know if our fingers are typing this is good but hard to even type cause can't hold out to what ppl are saying, maybe we should take some meds
going to try and watch deseprate house wives
bye
From foggy eyes
I have been sitting here for a long time. So many thoughts going through my head so many opinions so many wants and needs but I am sitting here frozen I think I've been here for a couple of hours not really doing much of anything the TV isn't even on but I am sitting here I don't know why I feel so afraid so sad so hopeless so powerless I know someone wants to hurt the body maybe that's why I'm sitting here frozen afraid to move if I stay still maybe I will stay in control? But my legs hurt because they've been hanging down don't have my foot rests on I am really thirsty don't think I've drank anything today I think I'm going to go try and lay down I just needed to write this so I didn't spend all these hours for nothing I wish so much I could start over in another time and another place
sincerely foggy eyes

Thursday
Today is Thursday my second day at school. It went well I think it's going to be an easy year although I don't think I should say that considering that it was only the second day me and Stacy were supposed to go out for the second time she didn't call me to let me know she wasn't coming which is not cool this is the third time this week she changed the day
I am tired of stupid guy Beau finally called me I was trying to thank him for the ugly picture he made me and then when I told him I needed to go he hung up on me yes he definitely has issues no doubt I am not hanging that ugly thing on my wall
I am not feeling really good but I don't know what's wrong emotionally I am really tired but there is a lot of sadness I don't know why and I don't know where it's coming from I just feel very draining I have had a busy week that's probably it. I have to go somewhere to be at a booth for canine companions for four hours gosh I wish I didn't have to go oh well going to lay down now
hopes dreams and fear
Today is Wednesday, I had a good birthday. Boy did I get a surprise on Monday Joe's mother called me from his house to say happy birthday boy was I surprised LOL but I was even more surprised to find out that Joe was divorced these last six months or so I have been thinking about him and saying to myself maybe he'll get a divorce, and then yelling at myself that I was crazy well actually others yelling at me that I was crazy I totally can't believe this when he got married I think it was about five years ago I was happy for him but I was so sad at the same time because I realize that that moment how much I really loved him and wish that I could be with him forever
Now maybe I have the chance? I have known him since 1973 that's when we moved to Florida I love his mother in his step dad they have been so good to me throughout the years me and Joe went to concerts together he sent me flowers quite often on my birthdays he was always there even through my problems although I didn't tell him much and gosh I didnt know much, thats a whole nother issues a big one
he has an accessible house that he got through Habitat for Humanity. I am trying not to get too far ahead of myself but at the same time when the time is right I am going to tell him how I feel he is the only person I truly think that I could live with that I want to live with. He lives in Lakeland it would mean leaving a lot of things behind a lot of people behind and I don't know if I could do it but I do think it's possible that I could and the fact that I think it's possible is pretty awesome within itself
I've tried to call him a couple of times but for one reason or another we couldn't talk and I have been abnormally busy this week so I'm going to try again tomorrow when I get home from working with the kids Joe has severe cerebral palsy, I used to think I wanted somebody that would be able to take care of me in all aspects of life but now I know so much of what I thought was important when you get down to it means absolutely nothing
if this does happen I would have a family a real family of my own but that is too hard to think about for right now because it brings up a lot of feelings mainly negative Ones that there's no way that will ever happen so I will leave that for now and just see what tomorrow brings one day at a time
good night for now

my Friday and the other stuff
Beth took off work today and we met to go to the movies. We saw the Brave one with Jodie Foster it was really good lots of violence but not so much that it overpowered the goodness of the movie. I had salmon to eat and was really proud of myself but then I came home and I ate three doughnuts I don't understand why I do these things. Tomorrow one of the ladies that works for wheelchair transport invited me out to dinner for my birthday she always remembers my birthday because I think her fathers is the day after mine. But now the last thing I want to do is eat
I tried to set up up a my space I bought this program that was supposed to help you I kept having errors all the time so I went there and try to do with myself man I was confused yes I guess we are getting old
I am feeling quite jumbled right now so many things are going around in my head but only bits and pieces of different conversation I can't hold on to any enough to decipher anything I am really tired I haven't been sleeping well I haven't been taking too much extra Seroquel because the last time I did I would still love for a couple of hours afterwords and then exhausted for the next day. I am so tired of these nightmares
I did discover a neat thing today, this new mouse I got is rechargeable but the batteries don't last very long well it stopped working and I thought to myself I bet this thing will work plugged in why not? And it sure did yes I am getting old LOL I'm so tired that I don't want to go to bed for some reason I am stressed out about this festival at the church not that I need anything to make me stressed out but then I'm supposed to do the thing for canine companions on the 29th and then go to the workshop for Olsen on October 6 I guess I'm feeling overwhelmed but I think it's only because I'm tired.
As far as that guy wrote about in my last entry I am keeping him at more than an arms length he wants to do too many things to fast, there is a difference between being lonely and being needy, I'm sure he definitely is lonely but the neediness is stronger than anything else so for lots of reasons we are not going to well let's just put it this way we are going to stay on high alert where he is concerned
I am going to start of the school on Monday I hope everything goes okay I guess that's all for now I feel like there's so much on my mind but I can't get a hold of any of it very frustrating
I'm going to take some extra pills tonight and hopefully sleep but going to call dalton first of course LOL
goodnight to me and the universe
Tuesday, September 11, 2007
I am trying to get in the habit of writing again I relaxed a lot today there is a spot on the back of my leg that always ends up getting pinched especially when I is different bathrooms I know it's weird that I don't feel like going through everything as to why it happens that just take my word on it anyway needless to say I am very uncomfortable so I've been trying to lay down a lot today Larissa came and washed my hair thank goodness and I took Olsen out to brush him really well, he really needed it especially since this is the first time we rushed him really good since we've been back home boy the hair was flying! LOL
we have to go to a meeting Wednesday for this stupid committee we are on what a mess this has been
One of our neighbors who has lived here as long as we have asked us to come have dinner with him tomorrow we found out we have quite a bit in common with him, we don't want to hurt his feelings we accepted his invitation even though we really didn't want to, he seems to be going way too fast for our liking, he called today he wanted us to come to dinner tonight but we said we were laying down which we were we don't like doing things out of the blue like that, then he wanted us to come to church with him or temple I should say which we are not opposed to doing we think it may be interesting but he seems to go too fast, he is from California he was adopted and abused by his adopted family. He became a nurse was minding his own business walking down the street when he was attacked by members of a gang. This caused severe damage to his back, he is in constant pain all the time and takes morphine he walks as much as he's able with crutches and braces. he also self injures/injured when he looked at our arm and said he did too (goody) NOT
He was married for a short time his wife died of cancer and I guess what worrying us a lot in that he made a comment that are name, the first initials and middle are the same as his wife's. He said how he cleaned up his apartment because he wanted to invite us over
so we are going to go over his house tomorrow to have spaghetti, I wish Barb wasn't so nice because everybody's on alert now, I can tell you that we are not going to make this a habit that's for sure and damn Spaghetti? to eat that in front of another person? well it aint going to be me thats for damn sure
(as us chimes in)
anyway I guess we better go to bed

so confused
Been forever since I've written here I think it will help if I start again I went to New York I'm glad I did just don't understand why some things happened. Do I have a sign on my head that says abuse me? I just don't get it, why do people think it's okay to talk to me like I AM nothing? Yes I need help not a lot of help but I do need some I was trying so hard to put my bra on I could not do it
Things take me so much longer than the average person for the most part. So why do people complain about things that take them literally two seconds? I will never understand that, the therapist said we are entitled to be warm and comfortable. But how does she know that? Just because other people are entitled to that doesn't mean that we are.
What makes a person entitled to those things? Just because they're on the earth? Because there are a lot of people on the earth and lots of them aren't warm or comfortable and they never have been, they were told they were enemies of their families and told that the problems in the family were their fault but the therapist said what happened was not our fault with the cousins
If so many people feel the same way about us, it must be something we're doing or that we did? I wish so much we can go away because I just don't think we belong here. I think we never have I know they say that God doesn't make mistakes but I just feel sometimes that maybe he did with us?
It's hard not to think that if our body wasn't broken that maybe those people would love us, people say to your face that they love you but if that were true they would never hurt you in the first place
it so hard to feel like you don't belong to anyone or anywhere and it is so hard to know that you never will, cause a person can truly only have one mom and dad, the body is too old to be adopted :( this makes us want to cry and cry
I don't understand why God has made the choices that he has. I know they say God doesn't punish people especially when they're trying to be good but we can't help but think we did something wrong, something to be punished for because almost from the start we were hurt by people that are supposed to love us
We are just confused about everything, people always say God has a reason for everything but what could it be his reason for this?
We will go now and write more tomorrow
MANY BUT NO ONE

Finally writing this Wednesday
Finally writing again
Today is Wednesday that I'm sure of not sure of much else. Stayed in bed a lot today and most likely will go back there lots more. Yesterday they drained a liter and a half of a fluid from Anita's lung they are going to do the other one today.
So much has been happening of my brain is so scattered I can even remember most of it except the course of Ruthie situation I still can't get over it every time I think of her gross comes to mind I was nauseous for the longest time my stomach is still not doing the best but its better have been having a hard time taking my pills at night I've been doing it of course its just not easy my stomach does flip-flops
I think I am pretty depressed kind of hard to know for sure though because I think I always have some depression all the time if that's possible? Just not in a very good space I feel like self harming so much at a given and for that I am glad I felt more grounded yesterday now I am back to feeling the wet spongy feeling
Patrice called and invited me to Panera bread with a friend of hers I am going to go but I don't want to not even one bit I hate it that I don't want to I wish that I did
Guess that's enough for now hopefully next time I'll have something exciting to say

I couldn't hardly sleep today I got home. I was up till 2 a.m. and I finally got up to take more Seroquel. I slept most of the day yesterday and today so far to. And I feel like I'm done I go back to lay down in a few minutes. I just wanted to give an update. I have my software working again, so I'll probably be using the journal more.
Maybe write more later

more adventures with the Psyco dad and my teeth
I finally got my computer back, which means I have my DragonDictate thank the Lord. Yesterday I went to the parents house, because it was my favorite and 84th birthday. I was so tired because I barely slept for the last two days. It was good to see my aunt, she bought me five scratch off tickets. I didn't win anything. When my mom took her home. I went into the bathroom. I couldn't believe it. The dad started yelling at my nephew telling him to pick up his trucks. He has been playing with them on and off all day. He had been homesick the dad started asking him to pick up his trucks. He said, but I was still playing with them, can't I play with them? The dad says you haven't been playing with them all day. Now you want to play with them? The dad had been outside all day working on the Van. So obviously he couldn't know what Joseph was doing it pissed me off because its like he waited till I went in the bathroom. And he started getting louder and louder telling Joseph to pick up the truck. He is five years old, and here is the 65-year-old man yelling at the top of his lungs of course Joe started crying hysterically. He said bring the trucks in there and now you stay in there. Instead of leaving him alone at that point he kept yelling at him. At this point, I yelled from the bathroom that he had punished him let it go. He went on and on that he needs to understand what he did. I said he's five where of course the dad said that doesn't matter. Of course it doesn't matter why would it? Stupid idiot! And he just waited till I went in the bathroom. He wouldn't do it if I wasn't in there. It was like oh now I got him to myself, what can I do. He was so peaceful, before I went in the bathroom. We were watching TV Brianna and Joe were playing and being silly. He comes in from outside and has to shake the World up
I told the mom when she got home, what happened. She said he started since the first thing that morning
I wish he would just go away
When I went to the dentist on Tuesday, they said I needed a crown, which is in a cost 700 dollars. I called the mom and told her, she said that maybe Dan would do it. I told her I really didn't want that, she said she knows and that we would talk about it later. I know that's not to happen, unless I bring it up again. Beth says she really doesn't think it's a good idea for me to do that and that she was loan the money. She knows I couldn't pay her off until on done with the computer. I don't like owing her money, but she said Barb I've known you for 20 years, don't worry about it. So I don't know I'm thinking about it. I don't want to be in debt to Dan but it's more than that. He's never done anything to my mouth before, and I don't think I want him to. I don't know going to keep thinking
That's it for now from this craziness that is me
Barb

Finally some news
I am going to do this a different way sense I lost my whole huge entry from yesterday. I had a great time with Ruthie's I don't remember a lot of it, that is very fustrating. I do know that I ate a lot, I really have gained a lot of weight it's amazing to me how fast you can put on weight. I don't understand why I have been getting a lot of headaches. I know lots of people that are multiple get headaches, but I have never been one to do that.
I had a terrible night last night. Very bad nightmares the whole night. I woke up exhausted. A friend from church passed away I went to the funeral on Wednesday. I'm going to miss him very much he had a real bad rheumatoid arthritis. He must've had it for a very long time. His fingers were very twisted. He never complained, I know he had to be in lots of pain. I have been thinking about that and wondering how he coped with it. I haven't said this about anybody before that I know, but Jack was a godly man. I think that's what he did to cope he stayed close to God and have tremendous faith. Also he did for others all the time. I have learned a lot from him. I am going to strive to be closer to God and lean on him more. I will miss you Jack, if you can save me a place up there near you I would like that.
On to more good news, I am going to New York from August 30 to September third. I am so excited I can't believe Sheila is doing this for me. We're going there for our 40th birthday's. When I talked to her sister Jacquie a couple months ago, she asked why I didn't come to my uncle and aunt's 50th wedding anniversary. I told her I was invited. She was socked because the parents said that I was busy and not able to come. I have always told Jacquie and sheila that they don't treat me good. She felt so bad and said why don't we plan for me to go to New York and not tell them until I land. I said I would love that but I had to wait till I pay off my computer and that will take about a year. She said that's okay just tell her when I was ready. When Sheila was here she was talking about spending a lot of money to have a party for our family when we turned 40. I assumed that Jacquie would tell her that I wasn't invited to the party for my aunt and uncle and that I really wanted to go to New York but she didn't. I told her that I wasn't invited when she asked why I didn't come to the party she too was shocked that they didn't invite me. Originally the parents just told me they were going not anybody else in the family. Then the grandmother told me oh yeah everybody is going I felt so hurt. Anyway I suggested to Sheila instead of spending all the money on a family party here why don't we go to New York instead she thought that was a great idea and she already bought my ticket in my hotel room in the city. I can't believe how much she spent 1300 dollars! They are going to rent an accessible van to, you can rent them right from Kennedy Airport I thought that was really neat. I haven't been on a plane in so long. This will be mine and Olsen's first trip together. I hope he does good on the plane time will tell
Larissa's coming pretty soon to dye my hair I can't wait because I want to get back in bed. Maybe I'll write more later
Totally absolutely pissed
I just wrote one of the biggest entries I ever wrote I wasn't even finished and something happened and it's gone I am so mad too tired to write it all out again hope I can remember at all tomorrow night all

One day later, Monday
I have been so tired, I got up during the night last night to go to the bathroom and I dozed off twice before I got there. I have been getting headaches every night for about a week I don't know what's going on but they've been really bad and I usually don't get headaches. It was okay at the middle school today there was a fire drill that was a lot of fun nothing like going out in the hot sun waiting for a bunch of kids to be quiet of course It took forever for that to happen. I brought the Big tin of brownie bites to sue the teacher I work with for the kids but she's going to use them for Sandy's baby shower tomorrow instead so at least I got rid of those. I ate the pasta Alfredo, when I looked at it I realized there really wasn't that much in their ate some of it and I'll eat the rest tomorrow. After I go to therapist tomorrow I'm going home and then getting picked up for the baby shower its going to be a pain going back there to school tomorrow but i could teacher I always hang out at lunch time with and I like her a lot. I don't think I'll go to the school on Thursday because on so tired now as it is, then I have the sonogram on Wednesday so I think I'll stay home on Thursday and Friday and probably Saturday LOL I don't know what's up with the list but everybody's been so quiet oh well going to bed now

Is been a long time
It has been forever since I have written. I really don't even know what to say or where to start. It's hard when everything so discombobulated. I was really sad today because Christie told me that they think Dejon is sociopathic, the psychologist, social worker and behavior specialist all agree I just feel so bad because I'm wondering is being that way totally dependent on ones environment? Or is it something you are born with? They say the psycho dad is antisocial personality with psychotic tendencies, I guess I'm just wondering what makes a person that way and I could care less about the psycho dad but Dejon is a 14 year old child I would hate to think that there's no hope for him? It's not his fault he has a drug addict for mother and crazy grandmother.
I went to that gynecologist, he's really nice he is going to do that procedure on me where they take the Lining out of your uterus. I am really nervous about it but I hope it will help first I have to go for sonogram on Wednesday. It worries me having to drink all that water I hope they can do it with me being in my chair still.
We went to Costco today it was a nice store. We bought some real food first time in a long time it won't let me change the color on the thing I am using DragonDictate I hate pink
We bought a big thing of pasta Alfredo with chicken, we were going to spread it out and make four or Five meals out of it. Then someone bought a thing of three pounds of brownie bites and we were just going to put Those in baggies and put them in the freezer. We got protein bars were doing okay with that, the people want to throw all the other stuff in the garbage it's the first time any real foods been in the house except for one meal here and there I hope it doesn't get thrown out but there is one of me and many more of them time will tell I guess we are really nervous about Ruthie coming because of the food thing more than nervous but if Moronn doesn't come around in her system and jellies are just around they won't be eating a lot but if Moronn around Lord help us all because he has an incredible appetite
I wish it wasn't going to be Monday again it seems to me that it just was Monday but I guess that doesn't mean anything does it? Man I hate this pink I tried to put it to black and I wouldn't change it to black either.
Saturday is the grandmothers 90th birthday joy to us all (not) that means a huge gathering of the family everybody knows how we love that yes? I think we will take the opportunity to indulge its more than time for somebody to get drunk around here and what better time? Lord knows will be around enough of them at least some of us will fit in for once

Poem My Hole
My Hole
There is a hole inside of me
I think it's been there as long as I've been alive
inside hidden but so so near
it can never disappear
The hole is dark and black
With no beginning and no end
It gets bigger and bigger as time goes on
It touches everywhere there is
It touches every one there is
I am afraid it's getting too big now
I feel like it's going to swallow me up
I will never find my way out
As we know I cannot shout
I cannot scream
I cannot dream
I cannot hope
Maybe this is where I belong?
In the big black hole
Maybe this is my home after all?
In the big black hole
Maybe I will be better there?
That's where they all want me to go
The hole is catching up to me
I cannot run anymore
I cannot cry
I just want to say goodbye
So I will let it catch me
Then I will be where I belong
Me and my hole will be one forever

filled up from the very small me
Its been forever since I've posted I wrote a long post a couple days ago and lost it all. Right now everything is seeming like it's running together lets see, the mom had surgery Wednesday. It went well. She had a total of seven hernias repaired. Now I am scared though because they think there is fluid in her lungs. They took a chest x-ray today, and she will get the results tomorrow. She's been doing really good a lot of walking and moving around. They started giving her breathing treatments again. Hopefully that'll help. It's just scary, because of what happened two years ago
Moving on to grandma she's back in the hospital. I think she's been in there since Friday. She had blood in her stool they are doing colonoscopy tomorrow. It was like family week at the hospital when I got there on Saturday. Dan was there with his family (joy). He was his usual warm self he managed to say hi we got out of their real quick and went to grandma. Then when Dan and family came down we went back up to see mom. I couldn't believe the mom said. Actually, she told Stacey that she was worried about the dog because this was a hospital . She was worried about hair flying. I guess since the dad didn't say it. She picked up where he didn't leave off? It never ceases to amaze me every time I think I have something figured out how they will react, what they will say or do I am wrong. The only thing I can ever predict with 100 percent certainty, is that I can't predict anything with 100 percent certainty
As far as Anita goes she got off the respirator today, they're going to try to take a chest tube out again tomorrow and supposedly she is going to get chemo and radiation on outpatient basis I honestly don't think it's going to help. She is so weak and they couldn't touch the tumor by her aorta. I just don't know if it's worth putting her through that, because it is going to make what ever life she does have left pretty miserable I would think. They found another tumor when they went in. So she had four total but everybody is still being secretive and quiet, which I honestly don't understand. But I guess there's nothing new with that
How am I? I have no clue am so tired. I was talking about this with my jelly friends. It's frustrating to me that I can't make myself go away, but if others want me away. There's nothing I can do. When I don't want to be here, I have no choice, unless someone chooses to come to my rescue or knows that I am at a point that I can't continue. I wish I had the choice. Like all the others do I feel like I'm only here when they want me to be here. I feel so small, like I am nothing. Just a tiny speck in a huge world that was not of my making. A world that they know more about than I do. A scary world. I am forced to be in this world, a world that I did not create, a world that I don't want
What do I want out of life? It doesn't matter what I may want. There is a small me, I am not enough to want anything. I am not enough to choose anything. I am just enough to be here to carry on the façade. The one that is a happy together, the caring one. But I am still a very small me. I am the smallest of all
Barb, who is even smaller now than when I started out

Feeling awful, the current state of affairs
I am so sad was talking to the mom just now. It sounds like from what they told Jerry, that Anita's cancer was all in the lymph nodes. I am not sure, but when Jerry asked. They explained to him that all her lymph nodes are "full" so I am taking that to mean that the cancer is all in her lymph nodes. I am so sad. She's in her early 50s I don't understand why she sat there for months and didn't do anything. I know she scared of doctors and hospitals
Between that my grandma and my mom going to surgery next week. On Tuesday, I am just feeling really overwhelmed those of you that pray please do. I'll probably write more later

Really upset
I am so upset I was looking so forward to going out today. The dad always bugs the crap out of me to make sure Stacy flips the switch down when she uses it to start the auxiliary battery if you don't put it down it will drain the battery down. Well this is the second time he's done it. So I couldn't go anywhere today, Stacy is getting the Sims games for me so I will have them at least.
Larissa made me mad this morning. She said something about my weight, I said I have lost weight which I have because I've been having a hard time eating and she was being real sarcastic, it was because she saw Candy wrappers on the floor. I have told her before I have a problem and not to talk about my weight, I told her that Candy was all I ate that day it was a handful of Hershey's kisses so she's proceeds to tell me how much fat that has (that's just what I needed) I told her again when I lost all the weight before I was starving myself, and making myself throw up. I asked her when is the last time she saw me bring food in the house? That food in my freezer has been there for at least two, then she proceeds to say how I drink cappuccino and one of those have at least 500 calories again just what I needed to hear I told her I have a problem that I'm doing the best I can, I told her she doesn't know what I go through I have flashbacks panic attacks that stems from when my father abused me. So what does she say? She says but I only see him helping you and doing things for you (of course) I said what about your first husband? How was he in front of people? He wasn't like that to you was he? Sometimes she's such a jerk. I think the whole thing started with her saying that my bra was tight and she remembers when she could put it on the tightest one.
It only seems to happen when I'm having the most problems I haven't been eating hardly anything I have lost weight in the last two weeks. And she tells me I'm gaining weight, well that just feeds into everything, I told her I have problems I told her it's in my head I said you know I used to cut myself I have problems she just doesn't know how much it hurts me sometimes and it's always about weight feels like I am still living with my mother.
I told her last week I got coffee and doughnuts and she said oh Barb, like as in how could you. I said don't worry about what I eat worry about what you eat. Well at least she was honest, because she said well I'm trying to deflect it away for myself I don't want to think about what I've been eating. I said oh that's how it goes
,As I was writing this my mom called to say that my cousin Anita has cancer actually she's my cousin's wife one of her daughters Gina is a drug addict. She is to really she's been taking Xanax for at least 10 years. That's why she wouldn't get another doctor because she knew she wouldn't be able to get her pills. She's been sick since September but she wouldn't go to the doctor. My mom said she is lost 30 pounds in three months. She has three tumors in her lung, they said one of them is really close to her heart. I know it's too late there is not any hope I have a feeling. I don't think it really has sunk in yet
I feel so bad for her husband Jerry he has been wanting her to go to the doctor for months but she wouldn't
Stacy should be back with the game pretty soon will write more later
