Post something that made you UNHAPPY today.

The hardback version of this arrived in the mail today...and upon gazing through this mighty tome I realized that I am in terrible need of giving myself a re-education with algebra, geometry and physics if I want to comprehend the important stuff.

Having spazzy bowels. (TMI? Well tough )

After two months of bliss, my daughter's good behaviour has finally broken. It started about a week ago, but today it was pretty obvious that good times had gone. I just hope they'll come back again, soon.

I don't think young kids are that great at keeping up being good. My siblings can only keep it up for about a day at the most, then they're back to their naughty, aggressive selves.

The problem is that we've had years of her not doing a single thing she has been asked to do and apparently no sense of danger (whilst being a lovely girl really). She's not just a typically naughty girl - if only! We had no idea how to deal with it and no advice worked at all. Before the turn around, I had been considering getting her privately assessed, my main thought was that she had Pathological Demand Avoidance (similar to Aspergers, but with very problematic behaviour, as the name suggests). Then we had two months of a totally different child, including at school, definitely still on the autistic spectrum, but with a positive looking future. So, the private assessment was put on the back burner. The thought of her going back to what she was is unbearable.

She sounds like my borderline aspie brother. He's not a typical naughty kid either, he has violent outbursts whenever he's told to do anything he disagrees with. He's 12 now and can seriously hurt someone.

I feel like I'm the biggest threadkiller in history of mankind.

I went outside to smoke and my roommates greasy ass girlfriend followed me. I walk to the far side of the porch and she sits on the swing. I light up and take a drag, and then, I hear it. She snorts so loud I swear I could hear the ripples every individual soft pallet through her nasal passages. She sucked so much air into her nose I could feel the barometric pressure in the air change. And the slimy mucus bubbling and making ripples in her nose.. the sound was so thick I could swear someone took and aerosol can full of egg yoke, shoved it in my ear and sprayed it directly on my ear drum. She then started hocking it, it sounded more like she was puking. A series of hocking then letting the mucus just slowly drip out of her mouth. She hocked about 12 times in a series. By the last two spits I could hear she had formed a deep puddle, the spit would drool out of her mouth and splashed into the puddle like a blast of diarrhea into a toilet. This whole situation last for like three minutes before she finally went inside. I finished my cigarette and finally turned around to go inside.. The disgusting she-daemon had spit right in my path between the swingset and the bushes... and the snot-puddle she had created seriously covered an area of one square foot. And I had to step over it with my bare feet, the nasty white and green mass of human bile, just feet from the door. I could hurl right now.

I need to stay away from a computer

I snuck up on my brother while he was brushing his teeth and scared him. He got angry with me. I feel bad that I made him so upset; that was not the reaction I was expecting...

I bought the wrong hair ties again.

My parents think I'm giving up on something even though they told me that I have to keep my grades up to participate in it. Because I go to the practices, I have no time to get things done. Then I need to blow off steam and relax, and doing homework isn't gonna cut it.

I value my education more than sports. Being smart is a priority for me, thank you!

I had a horrible nightmare last night. I dreamed that my family was holding a Birthday Party for my Grandma on my mum's side of the family and it got bad towards the end, when everybody got drunk. I also heard that one of my cousins was looking after my Great Grandma from my dad's side of the family, because she had Alzheimer's disease and she was having violent spells.

I've offered to look after Great Grandma for a day. She was talking to me about how Grandma from my Dad's side went to Hope, British Columbia before she passed away and that she was going to do the same. I looked around the house all afternoon looking for her and she wasn't there, taking a break to drink my afternoon tea and listen to The Kinks. All the members of my immediate family were still living in the house that I lived where I moved out.

I decided to go to Stepping Stones at 3:30 in the afternoon, because it was Thursday and the baseball game was going to be there. I saw the body of a fully clothed old woman on the side of the road. It was my Great Grandma. Somebody ran her over. I ran home in terror to see that everybody got back from taking my niece to the circus.

I was crying when I told my mum the story - "I was doing my best looking after Grandma and she was talking about plans to go to Hope before she died like Grandma, her daughter did. I was looking all over for her. I couldn't find her. I kept my eyes open as I started walking to Stepping Stones! This was the last thing that I needed today on June the 23rd with Pete Quaife passing away two years ago to this day! It was hard looking after Grandma and Chico at the same time."

My mum, knowing me very well asked - "Is it for Grandma or Pete Quaife that you cry?"

"Pete Quaife." - I answered.

Mum responded - "There are times when we all make mistakes in life. You made a mistake with your Great Grandma and I made a mistake treating you the way I did when Pete Quaife passed away. You remind me of Pete. You're the quiet Mod out of the original 4 of us like he was the quiet Mod out of the 4 original Kinks."

"I feel a lot better." - I said to my mum.

My mum asked - "What are you going to do now?"

I smiled and answered - "Listen to The Kinks like I always do."

Mum said - "Dad's got a football game coming on now, anyways."

I walked into my bedroom and started listening to The Kinks and than my alarm went off.

A friend made plans to do something with me this weekend,and then cancelled - again.

I definitely know how that feels, Gumby.

No, no violence whatsoever, just demand avoidance. She's very sweet natured, for the most part, but ask her to do anything and she just carries on with whatever she's doing or runs away, when I need her to come over (to do her homework or get her hair combed, etc). She's the same in school; everyone has finished a task and she's just about started, although her behaviour doesn't cause any disruption, so she's holding it together there a lot of the time. These past 2 months have proven to us and her teachers that she's one of the brightest in the class and has great potential. Thankfully, she seems much better this morning.
