Dear Diary,Been a very busy week at work! I have been at Wally World for three years now and finally got outside the doors into soft-lines. I can't believe it. The only downfall is that we are so shorthanded that I have been trained on the cash register, which I despise worse than anything except answering the phones on a day when nobody answers in their departments when you transfer the calls to them. gah!
I am looking for a fun way to spend the summer with Little Fawn. Thinking about the zoo and maybe a trip to splash island then the Lost sea again. She is really excited.
I am going to make us some applesauce to take with us as snacks.
Easy Homemade Applesauce
Ingredients
4 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1- 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 dash of nutmeg
1 small dash of sugar to taste
Directions
Combine apples, water, in saucepan.
Cover and cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
When apples are soft, place in blender on puree then add spices, sugar, and then refrigerate.
Felt good today to have some down time this afternoon with a long nap.
Haven't given up the notion of buying a nice boat. Needs to be a four seater no matter which type I choose, but it also has to be small enough to take up the creek then float back down the rapids to my landing area.
All the way home from work yesterday the sweet smell of spring hedges blossoming and mixing with the sweet smell of honeysuckle. The cool morning air blended with the warm rays of the sun creating a heavy fog. Captivating. Really.
And driving over the Tennessee river at sunset almost takes my breath away. Funny how as a child I used to be so afraid of that bridge and what would happen to me if the car mom was driving accidentally crashed into other cars and plummeted down off of it.



Well, I go to the attorney this week to see about a joint bankruptcy then about a trust for Little Fawn then while I am there I am going to see if I can get some type of package deal on my divorce. The reason that I swore I would never get married is the very reason that I am finally calling it quits.
I paid for us to move up here, I paid for almost everything during the marriage and now I am going to pay for the divorce; which is worth it before he can bring any further shame and disgrace to me and my family with his irresponsible behavior and his poisoned tongue..
I am not perfect but there is a limit to what a person should be able to have thrust upon them and my limit broke with him years ago along with my patience and my health. And were it not for us co-creating another life form, I would never want to even be in the same room with him again. A caged bird cannot fly and when it is set free it still sits there wondering which way to go.
I imagine that I am no different.
I had a really nice guy ask me out recently but I told him that I don't really have a lot (if any) free time after work to go have coffee or anything like that. It wasn't really blowing him off I just don't have the free time right now to commit to anything else.

I called my ex Mike tonight and we talked for a while. He's the guy I spent the first sixteen years of my life with so we talked about him finally giving up that Canook green card and becoming a US Citizen. He said he finally took the necessary steps and is now a legal beagle. He asked if I had a new boyfriend and I said no, so he said I was getting lazy in my old age. I say I am getting more focused. With the exception of a minor distraction every now and then. And in the desperate hours I seek solace among the stars on the front porch. A few minutes camped outside brings one back round to their senses fast enough.
The neighbor with the cute emo son called and we joked about what the hell ticks were eating when they weren't eating us. He said he had one on his balls a few days ago and kept feeling this annoying sting but couldn't reach the spot ewwwwww. Ticks are really bad right now.
I wish they would go away quietly. If you park under a shade tree you can be sure to bring with you at least two or three trying to find their own life's purpose.
I made Chinese chicken and stir fry for dinner with some yummy egg rolls and bought a beautiful watermelon at Sam's Club. So far I am blazing a trail with my new Sam's Club card. I told ya I would! as summer quietly creeps in from a long blackberry winter all of my roses are now in bloom. The whole area smells like perfume. It has the womanly scent of mother nature all over it.
Legend813 and I talked about him turning 40. He said it like it is a bad thing! Aging is only a state of mind. A belief that can either be positive or negative depending on your upbringing.
Oh yea, I'm done.
