The Present Post
Now, aside from the fact my son’s father completely and 100% ignored his son for Christmas and I mean completely. No acknowledgment in any shape, way, or form. Are we all surprised? Not really. I don’t expect much out of a deadbeat abusive individual that uses his disabled mother’s social security money to live on. Regardless, I think we (my sister, myself, my sisters fiance, and my mother) made this a great Christmas for my son.
I got him an iPod Nano Video since he uses my regular video iPod constantly for his PBS videocasts and such. Since it was SUCH a large gift it was all I was able to give him and he loves it so much already! My sister did the bounty however, power ranger toys, t-shirts, a huge Crayola craft set and her fiance got him a Spiderman lunch bag which he still keeps giggling over. My mother sent him a billion books which should be arriving this week or so, yay for mail service.
My sister not only got me SUPER sparkley lotion but also got me sparkley hair mist too. Now, as most people know, I am obsessed with all things shimmery, glittery, etc. So I was thrilled to say the least, then I get the uber gift. That’s right, a membership to the Chicago Botanic Garden!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!! The most perfect gift in existance? YES! She also got me some magazine subscriptions since I love my magazines hehe.
My sister also got her fiance the perfect gift, to explain a little, a few months ago her brand new car suddenly lost everything relating to the electrical circuitry, well after taking it to the dealership, found out SQUIRRELS had ate their way through her wiring. So the squirrel rage began. Evil little wire eating things.
She also made an amazing ham dinner, SO freaking good, and then we had a little snack.
All in all, I am so amazed and touched by all the generosity lately. I don’t think I can really even explain how much it means to me especially lately with everything.
Especially to Maree whose gesture brought me to tears. Sometimes it feels like every day is such a battle, such a struggle with everything going on financially and emotionally, and just when I think I am not even being heard, someone holds out a hand for me to grab on to.

Emotions
Yet again we are sick, I am so congested that I can’t sleep and breathing is no longer an option. My immune system seems to be utterly shot.
I am so very angry lately. Angry because my ex, my son’s father, seems to have forgotten that he even has a son. Hasn’t acknowledged his son for Christmas at all, doesn’t seem to plan on it either. I’m not surprised though, you really can’t go from pathetic to… pathetic. I would rather be a single mother than be disgusted every day.
Angry that 6 years of friendship was over in a flash simply because I chose not to be in a specific WoW guild. That’s right, 6 years of friendship over a game guild. Yep.
Angry that I only have $30 to last the next 8 days and my gas tank is almost on empty. We have no groceries, and forget about Christmas cards or presents, considering I only have $3.75 a day to live on until I get paid again. The joy of stuff being processed without my knowledge.
I’m not even normally an angry person so I really do not like how this all feels.
Anyway, lastly here’s a photo from when I took the wee one sledding yesterday, it was pretty late considering the sun sets around 4pm right now.

Good Times
My son and I hung out at a friend’s house this weekend (originally we were going to my sister’s but she had called while I was driving in the evil snow storm and we didn’t end up going over) and had a really nice time. Here are some photos. I wish I had done better but I always feel awkward since I am still more so with landscape/nature photography than you know… actual people.
Danny had a lot of fun as he got to play with my friend’s niece, it was very cute.
The lovely hostess.
This really is her eye, isn’t it pretty?
My drink of the evening. (Literally, I only drank half of this over 3 hours)
Lastly, I can’t help it… it was sparkley.
Onto other things, I really appreciate the emails/comments/text messages I’ve been getting lately. I sometimes forget that there are friends out there that care about me. I am really going to make more of an effort to stay in contact, even if I have to text you every single day on my lunch break! Speaking of, if I for some reason don’t have your cell number, just email it to me and I will do likewise.

All We Are
I am having one hell of a shitty week. Found out who my real support system was. Realized I put way too much energy into life draining situations. It’s taking a toll on me.
