Just another Crappy Monday. Wish it was a Wedneday (cause I'll be off)

Why can I not just live in peace? It seems that everywhere I live, I have weirdo neighbors. I had the stalker girl at my apartments. The creepy guy at my last house, and noooow a bitter, angry, dog-hating lesbian. Not that there is anything wrong with lesbians. Really, I don't have a problem with them. It's just this lady is crazy.
First, Beauty gets out of the backyard. She busted through my weak privacy fence. Apparently she went into the neighbors yard.
So, she was complaining. I told her my step dad said he would fix the fence, or put a hot wire up, so she won't get out when we're not home anymore. This was on Thursday, I believe. Friday, she called the county sheriff's department. Sunday the sheriff comes out and meets Beauty, asks me if I'm capable of caring for her. I was like, well...yeah. He said, "She doesn't look like she's starving to me." I said, "Yeah, because she's not." He said that my neighbor has been calling everday, non stop since Friday, telling them I don't care for my dog. I don't feed her, I don't give her water, blah blah blah. She actually wrote me and said she wouldn't doubt it if Beauty hasn't had her shots!!! What the eff ever!! Stupid bitch.
Anyways, the sheriff laughed and said she was blowing things out of proportion. He could tell that Beauty was taken care of. UGH!!!
WHY DO I HAVE NEIGHBORS LIKE THIS?!?!


not.
psycho.

All I have done the past few years is try to stay out of the drama, and it's like it finds me. Why? I don't like it. I just want to live. Chill with my boys and my dog, and just be. Just let me be.
My sister says my neighbor needs a shot of penis-cillin.

I concur.

There's a lot more to this story, but I'm tired of thinking about it. She's driving me insane!!


My step dad is still coming to fix my fence. So, we had to pick up dog doodie today. Gage was supposed to do it before he went to his "sister's" and of course, he didn't. So, I told Lucia and Zac that we were all gonna get a bag and pick up poop. Whoever picked up the most poop got to choose where we eat dinner tonight. I'd take them anywhere they wanted to go.
I thought for sure I would win, since I'm an adult....but fate stepped in. I was still wearing my scrubs and I bent at the knees, something must've been on my leg, because it stung me!! And it still hurts. I don't know if it was a bee or a scorpion or a spider?? I don't know and I'm freaking out, because it's red and swollen and still hurts. :I( *tear* It could've been a scorpion because it's freaking 80-something degrees outside! 5 days before Christmas and it's in the 80's! Not that I'm complaining, I love the warm weather....unless it was a scorpion. ugh.
Anyways....I had to run inside and strip my clothes off to see what stung me and Lucia caught up to me. She won the poop battle. And of course, she picks a place I really don't like...the Jalapeno Tree. Ewww. I want some Casa Manana!!!
Oh well, a deal's a deal. :\
Peace out, yo.

Fat Booth!

My sister got a new app on her iPhone. Fat Booth. And let me tell you, we had some fun with it last night!! We went to eat at El Chico's and I could not stop taking pictures of everyone and making them fat! It was so fun.

Of course, I had to share the pics........

Here's me...Marianne, if my face ever gets THIS fat, tell me to stop eating Hot Fries and drinking Dr Peppers! haha.

Gage..his was taken in the car. Too funny!!

Zac was loving this! He took his picture a few times.

Lucia took hers at home. Ewwwww. haha. This one cracked me up!!

But not as much as this one. Man, Jack is so stinkin' cute!! haha. I love this kid!

I think Jack looks like "Lard Ass" from the movie "Stand By Me". hahahaha.

Here's the 4-1-1 on my boy :)

So, we had Zac's appointment yesterday. The doctor says he definitely has high anxiety....hmmm, I wonder where he gets that from! He is ADHD. She says she is saying it is probable that he has Aspergers. But she wants to do further testing on that before saying for sure.

We're going to start therapy for the anxiety (and also self esteem type issues...hmm, wonder where he gets that...I guess he is his mother's son) and then also 6 weeks of group classes with other kids with the same problem. His first therapy session is this Saturday.

Then in February, has an appointment to see about trying different medications, either for the anxiety...that may also help with the ADHD, or medicine for the ADHD, that may also help with the anxiety. She says one may be causing the other. Soooo, we shall see.

I was a mess yesterday. I couldn't help but think the confidence in himself was my fault. Maybe I didn't praise him enough? Maybe I wasn't the mother I should have been, especially going through the divorce and seperation from his dad. I went a little crazy and started going out all the time. Maybe I neglected him?

I don't know, but of course, being a parent, you can't help but blame yourself.

I guess I'm just glad that we're figuring out what's going on, so we help him out.....and me! Because believe me, a child with ADHD, anxiety, and possibly Aspergers is quite a handful sometimes. :)

But I thank all my friends and family for the support I've been given :) I would have lost it by now, if not for them. Especially my sister, who goes to the appointments with me. She made me feel better yesterday when I went through my bawling and self blaming game.

More appointments....ugh.

Ok, I had to make an appointment with my doctor. I think it's ridiculous that I can't have something on my mind without my heart flip-flopping around and having that tight chest feeling. It's ridiculous.

So, today's anxiety attack is brought to you by: Zac's follow up appointment. I'm leaving work in about 15 minutes to get Zac's test results.

Of course, my sister is going with me. I'm emotionally challenged and apparently can't do anything by myself these days without having panic attacks or nervous break downs.

I don't understand. I used to be so patient, so calm about everything. No worries.

Well, of course I had worries, but they never caused such a reaction as I get now.

Ridiculous.

So, anywayssssssss, as nervous as I am, I'm ready to get Zac's results today! :)

Oh, and only 9 more days until Christmas?!?!!? What the heck is that??? Santa needs to get on the ball and get some gifts for my boys!! :)
