Oh it's coming along fine! i have a class called "Sociology of deviance". We watched an interesting documentary called "Devil's Playground". It was about the Amish-about how when Amish kids turn 16 they have this thing called "rumspringa". they get to go and do whatever they want including alcohol, drugs and sex, until they decide whether or not to join the Amish church or go out into the world...I had no idea! they have no restricions...no curfew...they have HUGE parties-up to 1,500 kids! At the end of it 90% decide to go on to leave the world behind and stay Amish. If they decide not to go back and be Amish, then they never get to see their family again....and they have big close-knit families. It was just so weird seeing footage of these Amish kids getting drunk-one got hooked on meth and then got off it again. One girl decided not to be Amish because she wanted to go to college-the Amish stop schooling after the eighth grade because they beleive too much education makes you pridefull. They interviewed an amish girl who decided to go back and remain Amish...it cracked me up because here she is sitting there with her long dress and bonnet saying... "well you know there are things I will miss-like going to concerts...I had such a great time at Ozfest!!"

|  Sociology Class...
Our class went to Portland, Oregon and got to see the homeless people on Burnside Street. This particular area has been the subject of many documentaries. We were given a talk by the person that was an Overseeer of the Program for renovating old hotels for rooms for the homeless to use. Most of the work was done by volunteers, some of them were homeless with experience in building..contractors etc.  They all look out for each other and some drink some don't. Some are college educated and some aren't. Most all of them choose to live there. We saw the bag ladies with grocery carts full of their belongings. We saw men with several outfits of clothing on. There were public showers that took quarters, a place to sell a pint of blood for $25 and they were kept track of so no one gave blood too often. Then we had to go back to school and was given an assignment to write a paper about how we felt about what we saw. I had heard about this area for years but it was not a place "strangers in nice clothing" went to on their own. In fact they could always pick out someone that didn't belong no matter how they dressed. Just intuitive I guess.  kelsh

Hi everyone had a nice dinner, just got home and checking in. Ah called. he said he wanted to get his life together cause he really wanted to be able to be a family someday and that he knew his actions were responsible for us being apart. He sounded so sincere. I know he is with his intentions, I just so wish I knew how to ever really know anyway Im gonna call it an early night again. Night all

So to continue this crap about abf....long story short...no he's not coming over to talk. Funny....seems to me....he said he'd come by after the 5:30 mtg tomorrow...yeah at his convenience and when my 3 yr old is running around needing supper bla bla bla...OK so F*ck it.....WTF, can't I get my piece said here? This is all too much, I'm really sick of worrying about all this, needing to talk and where is he? Hell he ain't working tomorrow so what's the excuse? Sorry guys, I know it's getting old hearing me b!tch and whine about this all the time....this past week has really sucked as far as anything with him is concerned. I really know what I need to do, it's just hard.

I had made the agreement with myself I would give this deal until the end of the year.....Wow it's rapidly approaching. I beat myself up! Is it me, is it him, is it us. Why can't I this, why can't I that.....  I just wish that he would have never called back in March. I was fine just thinking of him and carrying on my mundane, life. Very peaceful existence except for the 3 yr old's fits.I am at a complete loss.......sigh
