SCARY

So yesterday morning I was getting ready for work, I was in the bathroom, my daughter was on her bed (across from the bathroom) and my boyfriends dog (pittbull mix) was behind me.
I realized I heard the dog growling and looking at my daughter....I went into my daughters room to see if there was something she may have been teasing her with and the dog jumped up on my daughters bed and poked her really hard in the face with her nose, then continued to lunge at her again.
I grabbed the dog and pinned her down ( I was naked, had just gotten out of the shower) and held her there, yelled at her and made sure my daughter was ok. This pretty much ruined my entire day, I was scared, I know how much my boyfriend loves his dog, I love her too and my daughter would be devistated if we had to get rid of her (she and I lost our dog to cancer in november). All i could think about all day was what we were going to do when we got home, I was afraid my daughter would be ultra cautious of the dog and not want to be around her, my boyfriend said he was willing to give up the dog but I know that would kill him, he loves her alot.

Things went well when we got home, until this morning when my daughter went to feed the dog, then it almost happened again but was stopped because he and I were right there and the dog got pinned again, this time by him. Turns out she is becoming food agressive so now we have to work with the dog and my daughter so my daughter isn't seen as a threat to the food.
I am glad we figured it out but it still scares me. I have never had a dog that is that way, it's just strange to me.

So True

This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint... it goes like this:

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life? Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then: H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But, A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And, B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you. A-S-S-K -I-S-S-I-N-G 1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

Nervous

I am meeting my new boyfriends mom this weekend and I am scared. I just want her to like me because I really like him. I know it won't be a big deal and once I get there I will be fine. You'd think that once you were 37 years old meeting someones parents would be easier.....

I feel like such a bitch

So what do you do: You are in a job that you dispise, but you have a decent work schedule and you have weekends off. Previously your significant other didn't have the same work schedule as you and there were many boring nights and weekends......understandably a new job would be GREAT, there is no doubt about that but what if you were putting yourself back in the situation you were in before? Do you want to sacrifice time with the one that you like being with, your weekends, your not being alone for a different job? I am having a hard time understanding that. I am miserable too, but I like the weekends.....those are the best times.

Finally

I met someone last year.

Since I kicked my ex-husband out in 2005, my focus has been my daughter. For years her life had no schedule, mommy worked, daddy stayed home and watched tv with her. The worst part is that I would call home at night and ask my daughter "what is daddy doing" she would say "outside smoking", he never entertained her, she was bored and I felt guilty. My ex has supervised visitation one day a week....he hasn't seen my daughter in more than 4 months I tried to contact him out of guilt that she hadn't spoken to him and I got sworn at and I hung up....I tried....I will try no more. I made drastic changes in my life to improve her life and it has worked out....never been happier.

I never thought it was possible to meet someone at work that totally rocks your world, but I did. Can't give too many details, don't really want to and right now some things are a little complicated but I know that I will be with him for a very long time...I really believe that we were meant to be together, I have never felt so connected with anyone in my life. He has accepted my daughter and I without any hesitation. He is amazing, probably the most amazing man I have ever met. He treats me with love and respect and treats my daughter like she deserves to be treated. She LOVES him and so do I.

Because of my past relationships I feel like I hover sometimes and I am so afraid of scaring him away, or rather pushing him away. It's hard for me to express and talk about things that happened, fears I have, but I know I need to.....
