I forgot to share with you the coolest story ever,

So With a week filled with death and horribleness I actually have a ray of light. (for those who don't know my mom passed away THEN my job was eliminated). Well anyway I went down the shore for the annual Christmas party. It was pretty quite this year unlike years passed where people were throwing stuff and just acting the fool. So my aunt was talking to one of her drunk friends about plants and mentioned this Madaline plant. All they talked about was no matter what happened Madaline would never die. Nothing could kill it. Then my aunt turned to my father and I and askes who was Madaline.

Madaline was my grandmother. She passes away when I was very young. I don't even thing I was five yet. And her death was quick. She found out she had cancer and was gone less than 6 weeks later. At least she really didn't suffer. ANYWAY so my aunt tells us about this jade plant. When my grandmother died my aunt scooped up the jade in her apartment and has made little jades with it. This is now going on 20 years!

I think this totally awesome! And one day when its not so cold I'll take the hour and a half drive to oceangate to get my own little peice of Madaline.

Happy new year baby!

I think the cutest thing in the world the last week was Alan. Alan actually had a “talk” with our son. I guess it was right after my mother passed away he said to Aiden, hey mommy’s sad be extra good because she’s sad. Well I over heard him say that on the baby monitor. It made me smile. It made me smile EXTRA BIG.
It’s not that Aiden is ever bad. He never is. He’s the happiest baby on planet earth. What happen is he just gets angry when he’s hungry. He gets real pissed when he’s all of a sudden hungry and the bottle isn’t right in his hands for him to suck down. And as of late, he gets angrier at this issue. But yeah Alan said this to Aiden and it made me feel special.
I think the biggest thing about it was Alan actually acting as my partner in the last week. My mom’s passing was nuts. It was quick and unexpected. I was totally shocked when, while on the phone with my father, he told me he found my mom on the floor unresponsive. I had just talked to her not even an hour earlier and my last words to her was quit the shit. My mom was quite the drama queen. She also wasn’t really with “it”. Alan’s been right there for me the whole time.
To top off this week, my company has decided to get rid of my job. Last night right after I had finished getting my mom’s pension stuff straightened out I got a call from work. I talked to my awesome boss Kim and said she needed to talk to me. I went right in. Then the lovely news was broke to me. My choices are take a 37% cut in pay and no longer be a manager or leave. It kinda has great timing doesn’t it? The other option is me becoming a merch manager on the floor, but my store manager doesn’t think I’m experienced enough. If it wasn’t for Aiden I think my choice would be leaving, but the benefits are so great, I don’t know if I really have any other options.
When I asked Alan to come home he did. He tried to make me feel better right away. The only thing that makes me mad is well not really of anyone’s concern. Yet I really need to talk to it about with someone. It involves Alan’s work situation. I don’t like it one bit, but he’s not doing anything to make it better. Can someone PLEASE hit him in the head and tell him to please PLEASE PLEASEEEEE better his work situation so I don’t need to worry so much about how I just got screwed!

Hello!

Dearest Readers,

I have decided that not only can I rant about music and my little monster, but I could rant on a number of topics! Since as of late I like to separate my thoughts that are spewed across the internet, I've decided that it is necessary to keep a live journal (for writing down all the crazy adventures and such), a music blog (that i always say I'm going to start doing hardcore again, but seam not to have the drive or time), an aiden blog, a being green blog and now a ranting blog sans Aiden.

It's actually funny what makes me want to start blogging about things other than aiden and music. It happened just about 2 weeks ago at work. I was flipping through a newspaper in the break room where i came across a story about a 13 year old boy who had killed himself. It wasn't just any 13 year old boy it was a 13 year old with a bright future, lots of friends, what seamed to be pretty hip parents and seamed to be loving life. Well it they say he killed himself because of the acne medication he was on. WOW!

It was my topic of talk for the rest of my break. One of my fellow works came in and i overheard what i was saying. She mentioned she was on the medication so i threw her the article. She huffed at it and said what bullshit. Now i know i'm young but this person was a stereotypical, media brained washed 18 year old. Its common knowledge that most prescription drugs have odd side effects. Yet this girl had no clue of this and it made me think. Are people just so brainwashed now? i mean there is a small 5 year age difference between me and this girl, but i am not that jaded.

And that's why we are where we are today. I am confused and upset with how this world has become and I have a lot to say about it. It's not like my concerns matter, but this gives me an option to get stuff out. maybe in the process I'll be able to help someone or give some one a little insight into another way of thinking.
