so, i told my old man to hide in the corner for the next three weeks. i've been nothing but a monster to him lately. i've taken my stress out on him. and he told me i shouldn't. that made me angrier. so, i came up with a beautiful plan. i would cuss him out, hurling the worst insults i could until it was finally out of my system. he agreed it was fine. but, when i began, i could think of nothing good to say. so, i laughed instead. then, i asked if instead i could hit him. he was fine with that as well. i tried that too, but again, i couldn't hit with enough force to get it out of my system. so, as i began to retreat back to the computer room, he said, "you need to work on your paper." "HUH?" i said. you bet the insults began to fly, but not enough to clear my system, only enough to make me angry once again. looks like he blew it again. and just when i was in a good mood for a while....
perhaps while i'm on this mean streak, i'll call my therapist and tell him (if i'm not too busy worrying about him) how completely worthless he's been the past few weeks....
and while i'm thinking about things, i'll pay my mother a visit and tell her 'yeah mom, thanks for not calling me and telling me that you're ok. that adds to my burden at this time. i appreciate that. you're SOOOOOO considerate. i'll keep that in mind next time you are concerned about me."
and when i finally get this stupid paper done, i'm not going to email it. i'm going to take it to my prof. and i'm going to say, 'lookit. here's your paper. now, you can take this paper and shove it up your a$$, precisely where your head is sir."
and then, i'm marching onwards to California, where i shall wait for a sugar daddy to take care of me. or new york seems as good a place as any. oh, if only life were that simple, eh?

I can just see you stamping your foot!!!
So, if you could run away, it would be to California or New York? What would you do when you got there?
My escape hatch would be France because I wouldn't have to talk to anyone (but I could eat great food and look at chateaux).

Ah, Karen.
My eldest daughter had Mono when she was a freshman in high school. She was out all of 3rd quarter. Her friend (who lives in a neighboring state) wanted her to come to camp that summer. Needless to say, daughter had a bunch of schoolwork to catch up on (the school was really great about being flexible - i.e. she finished the second semester of Bio the next year). So her friend made her a pretty sign that said:
DO YOUR HOMEWORK NOW
It was actually surprisingly effective.
If I have to make it prettier for you, I will, just let me know.
Good luck!

Karen,
Maybe we should trade for awhile. Mine's on such high doses of steroids, he'd give you plenty to get your steam up about!Here is what works for my son: buy your favorite kind of candy. put it in a jar in your room. You get one piece for every 20 minute block you stick with your homework. 5 minute intervals don't count. Or choose whatever reward works for you.
I'm sorry you are struggling. I'm glad you want to run away to Ca. I could use the company right now.
I posted to you on Pyschological too...
Daisy

rainy, falls, daisy, kid, all done, gabbi, zen, dinah, emmy, lonely, and everyone else who cheered me on and helped me through........ (((((thank you)))))))
and rainy, i chose cali because it feels like home to me. new york would be a different choice because i'm thinking of going one day to meet up with my future husband, mr bob of course. but france, sweet france would be nice as well. the flight leaves much to be desired, but perhaps i could talk someone into going with me? any suggestions, as going alone is never fun. and my last partner was fun, but perhaps a new one would be better. and of course gabbi would have to come along for the ride. it wouldn't be the same without her.
so, you talked me into it. i'm stamping my foot. france it is. oh, and the food!!!! i'm drooling you know, and i'm not even asleep or holding my pillow.
