Barely hanging by a thread; I want to cry and laugh at the same time
This morning I woke up with a splitting headache. Then I turn on the freakin’ news and I can’t believe the downward spiral the US economy is in. It keeps going from bad to worse. $700 billion dollars - money to bail out Wall Street and who gets to pay for it all? Us. Great. Well it has to be done. But who does it hurt the most? The little people; people who makes next to nothing already. Guess who wants to control the $700 billion dollars - Wall Street, as they are the “PROFESSIONALS” when it comes to finance but aren’t they the same people who need a bailout? Ahhh, the irony.
So glad I’m not a WAMU customer or investor. My CFO, invested $35,000 into WAMU 2 years ago. He took the loss pretty well today. I’ve heard rumors for months that WAMU was going down and it was not surprise when it did yesterday. Makes me want to close all my accounts and keep my money in a shoebox at home. 
Just random thoughts, random thoughts.
I’m not doing well emotionally. Any little comment by Rodney throws me off the deep end. It doesn’t help that his girl “friends” takes up our quality time together with their little “emergencies”. Trust me, one more stupid call from them and the phone will be in my hand and they will hear me tell them to go find their own man to bitch to. My man is mine and who the hell do they think they are calling every few minutes? My man ain’t no professional psychologist and he ain’t no captain save a ho’. Don’t worry, the calls are taken with me in the room and they know that - it’s just midnight in between doing homework and being with me the females act like there is no one to talk to but Rodney. I’m getting a bit sick of it and pretty soon, friends from 10 years back or not, I’m gonna put my foot down.
I stayed on track with food last night. I was so bloated though and still am this morning.
I don’t have an appetite right now. Just trying to get through the day, go to kickboxing and chill out tonight.
Hang in there girl.It’ll get better it really will.
I know what you mean about the economy feel the same way. I am a customer of WAMU… or at least I was, now its JP Morgan Chase….lol What a mess! Money in the shoebox not sounding like a bad idea right about now…hehe
I don’t know how you deal with the females calling Rodney. I would not be able to handle that with my husband. Even if they were long time frineds. They still have to respect your relationship and learn that it may not always be appropiate to call him all the time. Good luck with that.
Thank you Gail and Isabelle for your comments.
Rodney is very conscious of my feelings most of the time. He takes and makes these calls when I’m present. If I’m not he tells me that he spoke to so and so. He always encourage to me to let him know if I feel uncomfortable with them calling and he’ll stop it right there and then. Because we’re secure in our relationship, I’m ok with his friends; and for the most part they’ve been a part of his life for many years - most from 10 years back. Last night just got too much because I’m PMS’s big time and I just wanted to be with him without distractions. I guess it’s time to have the talk again and let him know that a call at midnight is no longer appropriate.
Thanks for the input sweetie.
I feel you about the economy - it’s scary right now. I hope and pray the government “officials” work out a sensible deal that puts the people who got us in this mess accountable and not the general population. It’s maddening how I may have to pay for this when I’ve been so responsible with my money. About the boy - damn girl, you have a lot more patience than me!
(((((Nancy)))))
Heya Nancy, wow.. Ireland and the US are pretty much in the same boat arent they? I was talking about this to my b/f last night (before I got too upset about it and asked him to change subject). I just understand how it got so bad? I just want to wake up in the morning and have someone tell me it’s all over and things are all going back to the way they were. But, this is the real world, where people screw up, and make us all pay for their mistakes.
Girl, you put up with so much with your fella. I know you love him… but I’m not sure if I could put up with all that’s going on. You’re some woman for one woman!!!
I know what you mean about the economic situation. It bothers the hell out of me that the millionaires and billionaires are all going to be just fine and dandy in this situation, while it’s us, the little people who are going to have to foot the bill.
As for Rodney’s girlfriends calling all the time, I’m not sure how you put up with it. I mean, I understand that they are all nothing more than friends…I get that, and that is cool. But, when they start getting in the way of your relationship, that just isn’t cool. A time restriction on the calls would be a good thing, like that they can’t start past a certain time of night, because that is YOUR time with him.
Have a GREAT night kickboxing tonight!
I’m going to attempt running…assuming my heal allows me to lol.
The economy is on the sliding slope. I hope it stabilizes soon.
Have a great weekend.
