Sat in her partially packed up room
this morning and lost it. I would lose it even if she were moving out on good terms but the fact that she's only talked to me twice since Monday and pieces of her childhood room are getting packed up without my help and I don't get to share in any joy in the adventure of moving out is just breaking my heart.
Thank you Shana. It is nice that someone said words of support. Even just saying hugs helps me not feel so alone.

Moving out
I don't even know what happened. She won't talk to me. I really don't know what I did so wrong. She hates me. Disowned me. Going to live with my mom. I've been defriended from FB but I hear she's calling our house a "hellhole".
I know that many kids & parents go through something like this. I really think she is acting out of emotions that she doesn't quite understand and I think it has a lot to do with the divorce. I believe it is temporary and that we will get through this. I keep telling her I love her. I will always love her.
BUT that does not make it hurt any less. It doesn't mean that my heart isn't being ripped at the seams. It doesn't mean that the terribly horrible things she called me and said to me didn't cut... both me and Karli, who over heard it all and stayed home from school the next day.
Her moving out and getting away, even if it's for a little bit, is probably a good thing. A chance for her to grow some. A chance for us both to step back and look at things.
I love you with all my heart and soul Kallyn Mackenzie Jacobson.

Tuesday
My favorite saying that I keep repeating to myself is "It is what it is" I don't know if I can even explain what it means to me. Sort of like, don't have expectations. Whatever happens, happens. It just seems to help me stay focused on here and now and not future tripping.
I had a good weekend with my girls (despite the fact I had a horrible cold/cough and thought I was going to die) and a good night last night with a friend. ") I start a new PT job on Thursday, a friend is coming to town for a week Thursday night and I get to celebrate Bobbie's birthday Saturday with Platinum Spandex. Saturday to Saturday seems like a pretty good week!

Did you know...
IT's FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!
and
I'M GOING DANCING!!!!!!
I haven't been to "my place" yet this year. I've been dancing 2x (maybe 3) but not at the place that I feel most comfy at. I was going so much there for awhile then the Afro's had to go and leave "( I've heard the band that replaced them is ok, but the place is dead. I have a cold and feel like crap, but that's not gonna stop me. That is why cold medicine was invented.
I got my schedule for my first week of training. Are you ready for this back breaking schedule?? hold on to your panties....
Thur 5:30-7:30 pm
Fri 5:30-7:30 pm
I'm purty sure I can handle that.
Next Saturday is Platinum Spandex at Big Daddy's and I'm even MORE excited about that than I am about tonight.
And I should be getting money from my 401k loan in a week or so. This year I opted to take less out of my check for the FSA so that I would have more of a paycheck. $125 a check instead of $200... the loan starts being deducted in Mar and it is $56 so it won't really have an impact on me too much. Not when my mental state will be a little better from having gotten caught up and taking care of other business... and when the mental state is better, the body is better.
That's really all I have for now. Just a tad excited for dancing. It helped my mood SO MUCH last Friday, just thinking about how good I felt has helped whenever I've gotten sad this week. I need another hit to keep me going through next week.

HUMP DAY
Feeling a little blue today. I'm no longer seeing a person that I've sorta been seeing the last couple weeks and was hoping to progress into a full blown relationship with. I totally and completely understand the reasoning why. It is for the best. BUT that doesn't make it any less hard, especially when I'd kinda fallen hard & fast for him. The head can know things, but the heart can still hurt.
But I'm going to be working more anyways. It's probably best I just focus on work and my kids and making sure my life is on track and get my house in order and forget men for awhile. I've made some guy friends that I talk to/text with and see dancing and that's all they are - friends - and I really like that. They can do for now. I always had guy friends growing up (girls have sooo much drama) but you don't usually have a lot of guy friends when you're married. You don't need them - you have YOUR guy. And having guy friends makes me feel safer as a single female, there is someone watching my back that I can call if needed.
I talked to the Dr about me working more because I've had a couple people say they are concerned about my health if I do so. She seem to think it might be a good thing. She thought I seemed excited enough about it and it will be a good social outlet, especially since it is in my community that I love (helps depression) and it is some exercise and my main job is not stressful or taxing on the body. She said if it seems to be too much to just work less hours (which is a possibility). She's also not concerned about my weight, even though I've lost more, because my blood work was so excellent. She said if I wanted to gain more weight to eat Peanut Butter because it has protein and good fats in it. I just feel a little too anorexic and would like to gain 5 pounds.

Could things be looking up?
I turned in the paper work for the 401k loan Friday. Now I'm stuck working where I'm at for the next 3 years or I have a balloon payment when I leave. But I am getting enough to get almost caught up on mortgage and to file bankruptcy.
While we were all stuck in the snow I managed to apply for a job at a local, very community oriented pizza place. They have just a carry out/delivery place now but are opening a sit down place in March that will serve wine & beer. His staff now is pretty much all HS kids. He is in need of some people over 21 to be able to pour the alcohol. I stopped in to pick up pizza during the snow & filled out an app & talked to him. He called me next day to set up an interview. I had the interview on Saturday and he offered me the job right there, which he said he doesn't usually do. I will prob work 2 evenings from 6-10 and Sat or Sun for 8 hrs. Hopefully by the grace of god my body will be up to it. I am actually looking forward to it so I think that will help with the adjustment and by the time I'm bored with it, my body should be used to it... right? I don't see people at my work...I get so lonely (that's why I'm on FB so much - to have human contact in way) and I love working with people so I am actually looking forward to working with the public and it's right in my backyard so I should know a lot of the people that come in. I will be working mostly with teenagers and I do well with them. I might start training next week. Pete told me that in the next 3 weeks I was going to make an awful lot of pizzas. ") I won't be doing that at the new store, but he has everyone learn how to do everything - which I LOVE.
He is totally flexible on scheduling so I told him that I wanted Friday or Saturday night free. I have to have some time to go DANCING!!! Hopefully I will have the energy to do it.
We had plans to go to Tulalip Thursday night, which got cancelled due to weather and the same group of people were going Friday. I had told them I couldn't go because I wasn't going to go 2 nights in a row. All day Friday I was trying to decide. Tulalip just seemed SO FAR and I would be going by myself.
I should back up and say that I've been going to meetings lately. Since a Xmas party I went to in Dec that was all AA and NA people, I've been hanging out w/the hostess A LOT (pretty much lived there during snow storm) and getting to know her friends. I'm not going to mtgs because I feel like drinking/using but because they really help with living life on life's terms. I feel like I need the emotional, mental and spiritual help right now and meetings cost $1, much cheaper than therapy. I think pretty much everyone would benefit from going through the 12 steps. Like the mtg we went to on Thurs, the topic was basically "making mountains out of molehills" and other one was "just for today".
Anyways, Fri I decided to go to a 7:30 meeting and see how I felt afterwards. The band started at 9:30 but people were getting there at 7:30. In my head I think I already decided I wasn't going. I was sort of in a bad mental space. I have something else going on that I've been letting mind f#ck me (men...sigh...). Anways, I went to meeting. Came home and climbed in to my bed (still clothed) with my laptop, at about 9 and decided I was staying home. My mind started going off again about this "thing" and at 9:20 I climbed out of bed and changed my shirt and put on my dancing boots and out the door I went. I have never been to Tulalip before. I walked into the bar and was trying to find my group and Andy (not w/my group, but someone I know) saw me and grabbed me to the dance floor. Andy is the greatest thing EVER for my ego. He's the one I was so proud of myself for dancing with a few months ago because he's so outrageous and I went out of my comfort zone to dance with him. Now I can't get enough dancing with him. I don't like him or anything. no no no. He's just a great dancer and at least once he will dip me really low and then pick me way up and spin me around. Very attention getting and very unlike me. I wish you all could see it. Within 2 minutes of being there and dancing, my mood had gone from 0-100 and I was SO incredibly glad I had come. So much happier. OMG, I LOVE dancing!!!!
Then I was "made" to play the slots afterwards. My friends had a coupon that if you had $20, you'd get a voucher for $30 to play the slots. Someone lent me their 20 and then we cashed in the voucher so that I could have the $10 in free money to play with. Cool, huh? I came home with $5!.... a little after 4 am and I'd had coffee in order to make it home so I was awake until about 6. If my body was left to keep it's own schedule, it would stay up until 2 or 3 am and get up at 8:30-9. So, after a week of snow and mixed up schedules, it just sort of reverts that way really easilty. I wonder if that's why I get insomnia so much too.
Well... that's all I gots for now. Typed way more than I meant to.
