Current mood: cantankerous

So, that of you who did not know, Jay was missing Saturday & came back Sunday. Friday night @ 11, he came barreling out of the bedroom & was violently puking for about 15 mins. After I checked on him I went outside & smoked 1/2 of one of Stu's camels to keep myself from hurling. I have smoked maybe 5 cigarettes since I quit 7 years ago & I hated this one. I used to smoke 2 1/2 packs of camel wide filters everyday & I could not deal with this thing. I went back in & made sure he was cool & went back to whatever I was doing, probably reading or Nintendo. I periodically went in to make sure he didn't Hendrix on me. He swore he didn't take anything; he was not drunk & doesn't do drugs. I purposely looked at his throw up & only saw food. We later found out it was only a GI virus, but I am getting ahead of myself. ..:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
he got up for work at 7 am, since he was so ill, I asked him to call out & he refused stating he had to be at work. We live in Little Heaven; it is a sort-of town between magnolia & Frederica. The 1st half of our park is magnolia; we live in the Frederica section. Jay works in Seaford which is an hour away. He had to be there by 9 & was barely out the door at 8:20.
At 9:10 the calls started pouring in. Jay never showed for work. Each person there seemed to call every 10 to 20 mins. Since jay has never been able to maintain a cell phone, I had to call basically everyone local that is on my contact list. No luck. Cos of the nature of jay's ailments & the fact he was sick, I put out a police report for him. I had already called all the police stations & hospitals in Kent & Sussex counties. The state police were the only ones to take me seriously & they treated me like a paranoid housewife. I advised them to double check the hospitals, other police stations & the wal*marts. Jay often may stop at one as a base of operations, cos they are open 24/7, mostly & have a bathroom.
Since jay had my only car I could not physically look for him. His work had checked the roadside to see if he was disabled along the way. I had some friends check the parking lot of Kent general to see if he was there, cos they will tell you there is no listing if someone asked to not be on the call list. I even had friends check other friend's houses who didn't have phones, in case he was there.
Only 1 friend had seen him on Saturday. Jay had stopped by about 11a & said he needed to lie down. After about 1/2 hour he left. I think it was cos the friend questioned him being there & not at home or work.
The whole time I was up in arms looking for him, he was behind a wal*mart. Obviously the police did not look for him & they had my plates. They refused the picture I offered too. He was in bad shape. He lost whatever food he had in him from dinner. He did not take his metformin (sic?) for his diabetes & had not eaten since he took ill. He was in the car, in the heat wave & passing in and out.
A concerned customer rapped on the window & jay got it together enough to reach a nearby friend's house, which immediately put him on the phone to me. He came home very shortly after that. He was gone for roughly 40 hours & missed 2 days of work.
I had to take his to the emergency room at horrible old Kent general & he was treated for the GI & dehydration. We were at the freaking 'mergcy room for about 5 hours, but part of that time was cos he had to take an IV bag to hydrate him. Don't ask me what cos I forgot what it was. As much as I am relieved he is ok, I am worried about him keeping his job. I had quit mine. He also had my car, I have very little left in my savings & he had the only mailbox key, as his mom had lost it years ago, so I was scared what would be of Jaden & me as well.
Well anyway I am sorry this was long, but glad to get off my chest. Thanks for all who helped & listened to me!

right, so i quit my job. i had lost my nissan & had had problems finding a steady sitter for jaden. daycare centers & baby sitters in the area, that do school drop off or pick up, do not have night hours, so i have been dependant on my friends, as i have no family with-in 1 & 1/2 hours drive. big ups to kelly, avery, mike and melissa for help on this front. my health has been failing in some other factors i don't feel like going into. so i choose to stay home with jaden. my bills should be ok with jay's pay. i only worked to pay on the car & to have gas, pay insurence & maintance on said car. where i live, you need a car or you are f'd. who can afford taxi's & the bus doesn't really come by me for what i need. things will be a little tight until we adjust, but it won't be uncomfortable. this will be good for jaden, as it has given me time to work on his reading with me. i am seriously considering meds for his adhd, i have to check with his therapist when he is back to school. i can not get him to focus & i am the person he listens to best. i hate pills, but i think if i had then when i was a kid, i may have actually ytried in school. that & if i was actually punished for the shit i did. each time was more grandious, cos i was not stopped.
anyhoo. i am mostly going nuts cos i am used to having my own money & just leaving when i want, but since jay drives my other car for work, i am stuck home from about 1:30-to 12p. he works in the next county, so driving him to work for the car would really suck, esp picking him up. no-one calls or stops in. when i call people, they have no min. i am so lonely & emo!!!! at least i am trying to catch up the housework...i want to move to dover area & next year i want to go back to school. i am trying for spring or the next year, so my w2s will reflect less income for a better student loan. so wish me luck.

nascar is in town again & i hate that dover cateers to these idiots. i want them out of my town. they think since they are not in their own place, they can through the redneck jackass olympics here and no one is the wiser. i don't hesitate to give them a piece of my mind when i get the chance. it makes no diffence, but i get to blow some steam. i just think if a town doesn't have the space for a concert hall as they have recently deemed, as we do not have the traffic resources, they we don't have it for nascar. have you ever tried to go from the base to the mall on nascar weekend? please leave an hour earlier than you mean to arrive. if you work at aetna, you can be assured you have no place to park, as the lot has been sold. if you are lucky, you can pay $20 and upwards, to park on the farthest outreaches of the lot, were you would normally park at the front for free. i had to double park when my son went to daycare there & was told my car would be impounded if i didn't pay for a parking spot. i told them that i paid $150 weekly to have a spot there! blow me! at least at the mall, the workers have a spot in each section they are allowed to park & a pass so that they may do so. when i worked the mall, after that day's shift, i would lend out the day pass to my friends whould actually wanted to shop & needed to park there, not cos they needed a close parking spot to the track. i think i could deal with the traffic & the parking if the guests weren't such assholes. i understand they must pay a lot to go to delaware & see cars go around in a circle, not unlike my son's slotcars & it pisses them off that they spent that money on it & not on college or shirts with sleeves, but they can not come here & expect everyone to wipe their ass for them! we do not bend over for beach goers! people come all over to the delaware beaches & they have to pay for lot or meter parking. the locals have parking passes & they renovate the roads to accept the traffic flow. i am sure the locals will have something different to say, but in short, the beaches are better managed than nascar season. the main excuse i hear for it all is that it pumps our econ. cos they spend money here. i have only seen wal*mart & restaurants get business and these companys don't need special weekends to drive sales. any other retail i have worked, sends people home early cos no one else wants to come out & shop. the acme by the track has no food. good luck going to your favorite bar or restaurant. if i want milk, i will get it at a gas station for like $6 rather than going to the grocery store & pay $4 cos i don't want to be in the car an hour. i just don't see how alienating your taypayers is good for a town.

right. yesterday jaden's class had a field trip to the salisbury zoo & i was a chaperone. my mother met us at the zoo & she was my co-chaperone. jaden & a classmate were the only kids in our group, but it felt there was about 6. my son is in a special ed kindergarten class as he has dev. & attention issues. he's in special ed, BUT not THAT special ed, dig? so, many of his classmate have about the same learning problems etc. this boy was a piece of work. i now know what napolean dynamite was like in early elementary. everyone touched poop except him, my hair had bugs in it, the zoo was on fire, a hawk got him, (funny the zoo doesn't even have a hawk, but i did find an egret later & told him the "hawk" was going to get him if he doesn't settle down) the aligators were eating people, and he saw turtles everywhere. my mom was concerned that the boy was possibly mental & actually belived himself. jaden gets progress reports everyday about him acting up in class, hitting, and generally misbehaving. anyone who knows my son, knows that he is shy and meek unless someone else starts horseplaying with him & then he comes out of his shell. except for his school, i am constantly told how well he is behaved and what good manners he has. my son was a model student and the zoo and this kid was jerry lewis on speed & just as lovable. i wanted to give him to the french. we gladly put him on the returning bus. if i knew i could get away with it, i would have put him on another school's bus & ran away.
Jaden, mom & i went to the store my stepfather & my stepsister and her husband run in parsonsburg. they like to go to storeage auctions & buy way too much stuff. in the past they would keep what they wanted & sell the rest of the lot to another auction. instead now, they rent a storefront & just do it themselves. the best part of it is, my sister can stay with her two youngest childern & run the store herself. we went there & played with babies for a few hours. i met my newest niece catherine she is so lovely! baby charlie can walk & run now but will only do it in a walker. he doesn't even sit in the thing! kristel's oldest daughter gets off on the bus there & jaden had plenty of time to run wild with her. there were some old schwin tricyles from the 60's & they were about held together with duct tape, but the kids didn't care & they ran wild through the parking lot with baby charlie running behind in his walker. big charlie works for a sawmill company or something like that & brought some couches to the store in a tracture trailer meant for woodchips. jaden got in the back & ran back and forth through the trailer & "helped" charlie move the couches. later, he got to get up in the cab and blow the horn, only he just about put the truck in gear!
from there we went to my mom's house & had pizza for dinner & jaden wantched noggin afterwards. mom & i bummed around the house. i ended up staying longer than i meant & nearly fell asleep on the way home! poor jaden had school today, but he seems to not mind 6 hours of sleep. i can funtion, do to my insomia, on no sleep, but when i finally do get sleep, my body hates me for every hour i missed & wants to catch up every single 1 in duplicate. i feel like crap but jaden had a great day, so i guess mission accomplished.

i had some verbal comments on my avatar, so i thought i would clear this up.
1. it is not me, it's a man.
2. it's shannon hoon from blind melon.
3. i hate blind melon
4. the picture is a running gag with some friends of mine
5. yes, he is smoking drugs from an apple
6. i am drug free.
7. since he died from a drug overdose, this picture is subversively funny to me; like kurt cobain with a gun, mama cass eating, or that picture of elvis and nixon (where nixon makes elvis an honorary DTF)
8. i tend to not let people take pictures of me so this will do until i find a picture i like better
9. ciao
