I'm stuck at a crossroad, and I'm not sure which way I'm going. Each path has almost equal pros and cons.
I need a psychic.
Or a margarita night.

2am
I typed this on my phone, which pissed me off royally, and that's why it's all broken up weird. I guess I could fix it, but goddamn I'm lazy.
Okay, so. It's 2am here
In the beautiful state of Georgia and I'm sitting on my bathroom floor in my underwear grasping a notebook and gold pen like my life depended on it and tear stains on my cheeks.
Background: When I was 15, I was friends with a guy named David. He was annoying, a redneck with the southernest twang I'd ever heard, and the reddest hair I'd ever seen. He smiled too much. He referred to me as "Mclafflin". He called me too many times everyday. He could piss me off faster than anyone I'd ever met. I was sure he was the man I was going to marry. As sure as a 15 year old girl in a sadistically abusive relationship could be, anyway. He called me too many times in case I'd decided to leave Corey, or I needed help in any way. He pissed me off to give me something to be mad at besides myself. David was my rock, and then he was gone. His funeral was the hardest thing I've ever sat through and the whole ceremony I was screaming inside at the stupid idea of some "god" who could take this amazing person who helped me survive my day to day life away from me. How dare someone take him? This heart of gold, this selfless, wonderful person who had so much to offer at only 18 years old. Why did I lose him instead of the junkie, sadistic, horrible, horrible "man" I was tethered to by fear? Why did evil live, while good didn't?
Now, I've never been a huge fan of religion but that just crushed it for me. I can't believe in something with those kind of backward, stupid rules about death.
But, sitting here tonight. Unable to sleep and sobbing over the idea how how much of a mess I am at 23, I found myself talking to him like usual. Usually I'm complaining about stuff that I know he'd not give three shits about, but tonight I was asking him for help. Really? The boy's been dead 8 years and I still can't function in my own life without him? What is he going to do? Talk to "god" and get me some kind of break? Really? Buuuuuut I did it anyway, for hours. I cried, and I talked to him, and I asked him to pull some kinda afterlife strings and freaking throw something good my way. In my mess on the floor, I scribbled down some.... plans.. I guess you could call them... about DOING something.
I need to kick my own ass out of my comfort zone. Therefore: I've decided to pull my measly $220 a month child support out of the bank every month and hide it somewhere where I won't spend it, and save it. If Michael and I get married- great, I'll spend it on that. ... If we're STILL not married by January, I'm uprooting myself and my 3 year old to a new state. I'm literally going to close my eyes, swirl a map of the US around, and pick something. I'm so STUCK here. I'm comfortable. I think I've worn out my own welcome. I should finish school next month, and fingers crossed I can land a better job than the 7th circle of hell I'm at now.
Speaking of that- I've also decided to start applying for second jobs. I need to call work today and see what my hours are going to be when I come back, since I'm not going to be doing Pre K anymore. I need early hours so I can get a 5-11 job doing effing telemarketing or something. Somehow, I'm going to have to balance 2 jobs, a 3 year old, school, an internship, and daily life (meals, laundry, gym etc) without ripping my hair out of my head.
Can I really do this?

Alllllllllllllright
So, I hope you enjoyed a glimpse into hormonal hell that IS my PMDD, plus the addition of a broken heart, which I am NOT used to having. Even though I was the one that instigated the break up in the first place, it shattered me to think of my life without him and Ben in it. Now, I know what you're thinking:
Holy FUCK this is one crazy bitch!
And yes, you're probably right, but whatever. Not the point.
Michael and I are............. not quite okay... but at the same time, we're not exactly NOT okay either... does that make any sense? No? Didn't think so. Hard to explain. He came over last night because he needed a place to stay, and quite frankly- because I'm so loney without him. We kinda flip-flopped between fighting and making up all night... but the vocal diarrhea of hatred has seemed to stop, so THAT'S a good sign. I also think the fact that my whole world seeming unbalanced without Him and Ben-jammin is probably a good sign too. I need my 3 boys, as much as the one can piss me off and make me want to come after him with a red-hot iron sword. (to the genitals)
To be absolutely honest here with you, I didn't even remember what I wrote last night until I read it today. THAT is how far into my hormonal downward spiral of bitch I was. Yes, it was true what I wrote, mostly. Some parts were greatly exaggerated, some were absolutely true. But- on the flip side- he could turn around and write one about me calling him an alcoholic, a liar, a dick, a prick, (pretty much any synonym for penis) a douche, worthless... all sorts of things. All I know, is when I'm mad I want whoever I'm mad at to feel just as bad as I do. I'm a low blow fighter, I'll admit it.
But I digress- got off on a tangent.
Point of this- is I love him, he loves me, and hopefully we can stop ripping at each other long enough to remember what's pulled us through the past 2 years, years that have been a constant uphill battle for the two of us, years that have probably just made us tired. Where the hell is the plateau, for christ's sake?
Today, I got a voice mail from my OBGYN. I called back to speak to my nurse practioner, didn't get her, but I got a very cheerful nurse:
Nurse: "Well, we got the results from your pap back and you do have a bacterial infection. Pretty good one too, you should really pee more!"
Me: "Okay."
Nurse: "Gonna call you in a prescription"
Me: "Alrighty"
Nurse: "Oh, and there was one more thing...."
Me: ".... and what might that be?"
Nurse: "Well, we found some low-grade cells"
Me: "What the hell are those?"
Nurse: "Just some slightly abnormal cells. You can come in next friday for a biopsy?" (With huge, cartoon smile in voice)
Me: "Uh, sure. What the hell do those do?"
Nurse: "Well it could be anything!! Infections like the one you have is probably the reason, so that would be nothing, but it could be HPV, which is normally harmless, and it could be cancer!!"
Me: "...."
Nurse: "Buuuuuuuuuuut that's what we're gonna find out! See you Friday!! :D :D :D"
So. There I stand. Could be nothing, could be a (from google research) totally unnoticeable, almost unpreventable (damn you, abstinence), totally asymptomatic STI, could be CANCER? That is what she leaves me with? Really?
Another fun fact: Cervical cancer runs in our family. Oh.. the joys.
But, I'm not much of a dweller, so I'm gonna push it to the back of my mind and ignore all the (imagined?) pains in my cervix until the 29th. I'm not going to let what-ifs holyshitwhatifIhavecancer? HolyshitwhatifIcan'thaveanotherbaby? WhatthehellamIgoingtodoifthisisserious? wrack my brain.
And on another tangent- this kind of sobering reality check really puts the whole relationship thing on another level. Who do I want next to me if it IS serious? Michael. Who do I need to lean on? Michael.
Just saying.
Holy FUCK this is one crazy bitch!

Stupid girls...
like... the dumbest girl ever.
EVER.
Hi. That is me, my name is Kelli.
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" - Einstein.
So, that must mean that I'm insane. I think I've been stuck in this goddamn revolving door for so long that my feet are just blindly stepping without my brain really being able to control it.
Goddammit I'm tired of circles. I love him, fuck I love him. But I can't keep this horrible cycle of tearing each other down to the point of leaving, just to make up, just to start tearing again. My poor heart has been broken more in the past 2 years than I think it has in my horrible, horrible track record of guys. I've NEVER let anyone get as close to me as he has, and apparently it was only so he could hurt me in ways I've NEVER been hurt. I knew I was emotionally distant for a reason. He says the meanest shit to me all the time.
Things I've heard RECENTLY:
1. Rum is more important than me
2. If he's not getting sex from me, he'll get it from somewhere else.
3. I'm a super bitch (which I am, but only from evolution in this toxic relationship)
4. I'm immature
5. I'm trashy
6. Fuck me
7. Get over myself
8. Call him or find another man.
9.
LIES I've heard recently:
1. He loves me.
2. He wants to work things out.
3. He wants to come over to talk
4. He wants me
5. He wants to come over and talk (after lying about it the first time, mere hours before)
6. That I am his world. (God that's cliche, who the fuck falls for that?)
7. HE doesn't want to be single.
I've officially crossed over into crazy broken heart mode. I just literally ripped up EVERY item of clothing he had over at my house, and realistically it's gonna end up in his parent's driveway tomorrow.
Fuck HIM, fuck everything. Fuck waiting FAITHFULLY for 8 months just to get treated like shit when he gets home. Things weren't perfect when he left, but goddamn at least he was nice to me.
I am officially the stupidest girl ever, and I'd like to curl up and die now.
EVER.

Why does my life suck so very, very much?
Seems to be the question revolving in my head today. I hate today. Like, officially done with breathing the air that the fucking universe has to offer me today kind of hatred. I need a brick wall with poison tipped spikes to beat my face against to forget that the past 24 hours ever happened. Fuck fuck fuck.
"Why? What happened that's so bad?" I know that's what you're asking. Well shut your goddamn face. Nothing extremely "bad" happened, per-say. Just an all around smattering of fucking shit all deciding to come hang out in my brain today. Can I just start off with the fact that
I
hate
my
job
? Can I start there? Because I do. I hate my job almost as much as I hate my ex. I hate getting up at five in the morning while my unemployed ass of a fiancée (maybe...we'll get there later) continues his slumbering, complete with snores and whines about the goddamn light being on. I hate putting on the fucking blue polo shirt and those goddamn khakis that are wayyyyyyyyyy too big, and wayyyyyy too short. I hate dragging my ass to the kitchen to scramble and throw mine and little man's lunches and breakfasts together, all the while cussing myself for not doing it last night. I hate pulling my sleepy, and now grumpy 2 year old out of bed at 6am. I hate the every morning all out fight that is getting him dressed. I hate the way I think horrible thoughts about how lovely it was to not have children. I HATE the goddamn drive to that fucking building in Gwinnett. I hate i85 with a fiery, burning passion that consumes my soul. I hate other people that drive. I hate other things too, but I'm not going to go there on the internet, you never know who's watching.
I love children, I really do. I love teaching, I love hearing their stories, but fuck. I'm burnt out. Like.... way burnt out. Like, considering going back to school for paralegal burnt out.
I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT PARALEGAL.... NESS. WHY WOULD I CHOOSE THAT?!?!?!
(Back to brick/poison wall... slam slam slam)
I also HATE the fact that I am 23 years old with a 2 year old, working full time, working my ASS off, and I still live at home with my mom. As in, I work full time for NOTHING. I can't afford to move, I can't afford to buy groceries, I can't afford light/water/cable/cell phone bills. Fuck my life. Am I gonna live here FOREVER because I'm NOT EVER going to be able to make more than $10000 a year? Fuck man.
"What about your fiancee (maybe) in the army? Why doesn't he help?" you may ask. Simple. He can't get a fucking job. Like, CAN'T. Like, has been putting in multiple applications everyday since he came home and nothing has worked out for him can't. So now he sits at home, drinking rum, filling out online applications, and waiting on me to get home. And I love coming home to him. I love him more than I thought it was possible for me to love someone given my past. But goddamn it, how long do I have to deal with this? He's unemployed, can't afford gas (so I put it in his car) can't afford food (so I cook for him) can't afford to rent movies (you're welcome) but somehow SOME-FUCKING-HOW he still manages to have a rum and coke in his had every time I look at him. Magic alcohol fairy? God I wish.
And this GODDAMN wedding that's coming up. I don't fucking want it, I don't want anything to do with it, and after the fight that we went through last night, I don't even think I want to marry him. How the fuck am I supposed to tell my mom that I'm in the middle of a big mistake and to get her goddamn deposit back on the fucking venue that I don't even like? I've literally cried all day long. Not because I'm sad about not having a wedding, but because I really don't want to let my family down after they've done all this fucking work on this fake ass wedding already. Goddammit.
I do want to marry him. I just don't want it to be this rushed, and fuck knows he doesn't give 3 shits about the whole fucking deal. Why should I care at all when he is not at ALL invested in it? Fuck this bullshit, I'm so goddamn mad right now. And my ONE friend that I can call and rant like this too and then meet at the bar for a little drink to chill out just moved to goddamn NC.
So here I sit, no ring on my hand, no money in the bank, crying in my mom's upstairs room on HER computer wishing my phone would ring and he would tell me that he loves me and that we might just be alright. But, because I'm a masochist, even if he did call and try to tell me that I would probably tell him to fuck himself and come get his goddamn shit out of my room.
I hate myself most of the time.

Life plans
Ughhhhh I hate the Army and it's never ending line of last minute changes.
So, Michael's at drill this weekend in Atlanta. He gets there, and the first thing he hears pretty much is "Oh, by the way... I know you just finished AIT, but we're going to send you BACK and reclass you to a combat photographer. Which is like.... a 9 month AIT. In Maryland. Have a great day!"
Sooooooo... the only GOOD thing about this is that because it's SUCH a long AIT, I can go with him and live on base. So, at some point in the near future- be it next month or next year- I will be relocating to Maryland for 9 months.
Did I mention that I don't do well with change?
Think I'm gonna throw up now.

Yeah Yeah Yeah
I KNOW, I KNOW. It's been like.... forever (think, Sandlot. For-ev-rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) since I wrote. I've been super duper busy! I finally started in the GA Pre-K at work, which is awesome because that's what my degree is in, but then I learned that I literally got the job JUST in time to bend over and get uber fucked. Stupid governor. Stupid politics. Stupid budgets. Why can't the government just like... print more money? Isn't that what they do?
Yeah yeah, inflation. Horseshit. Anyway- Found a wedding venue, just gotta get the date. Stupid Army, you can't plan ANYTHING because you never know when he's gonna be home or not. Grumble grumble. Went apartment searching today, remembered why I HATE apartments. I knew there were good reasons. Wishing we could just get a house. Gotta figure out where we're gonna end up though. Is he gonna get a job in SC? Are we gonna move away?
You know- in high school that was ALL I wanted to do. I wanted to get out, get AWAY from this mother fucking town. Now, I like it here. I'm comfortable, I know everyone, I have built in babysitters, I don't get lost (much).... Moving away is a pretty scary idea, even if it is only 4 hours away. I'd almost rather get moved to Germany like my lucky, lucky friend Ashley. If I'm going to "travel" I want to actually SEE stuff, other than "Hey, there's the state line annnnnnnnnnnnd we're home. That was fun! Sight-seeing, eh?!?!"
I'm grumpy today. Apartment looking makes me angry. And something smells delicious downstairs, so I'm gonna check it out. This is probably a totally disorganized post... I generally have some idea of what I want to say before I sit down, this time it was totally not even up to my brain. I'm lucky if I've spelled things right. Ah well- there's your update.

Really?
You remember that kid in high school. You know the one I mean. "THAT" kid. That kid that smiles too much and is always. right. there. The one that will leap out of his chair the second you walk into a room JUST in case you want to sit down. That kid that would watch you walk down the hallway, grinning like a moron until you were totally out of site, the kid that would follow you to every class, even if it made him late to his own... That kid that would stand at the front doors of the school with a mr. pibb (just because you drink them and he wants you to be sure you see him drinking one too), looking like an abandoned puppy and then you come wandering up and you swear to jesus he's wagging his ass like a tail? That kid that didn't quiiiiiiite creep you out, but goddamnit he was close.
No? You didn't have that kid? My luck then. This guy, bless his heart, was like my little shadow all through high school. I think he was a grade below me, but jesus h christ, you would think we were in the womb together the way he attached himself to my hip. He was like... a moth. Yeah, a moth, because you swatted him away, but gently so that you wouldn't hurt him, but MOTHER FUCKER GO AWAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
You're probably wondering what brought up my nostalgic memories of that guy in high school who once told me that everytime I walked down the hall it was "like the Victoria Secret commercials when everything slows down and your hair blows in the wind" Okay- maybe that was a little creepy, but I digress.
His name is Matt, and he popped up on Facebook IM today. It went a little something like this:

You're probably wondering what brought up my nostalgic memories of that guy in high school who once told me that everytime I walked down the hall it was "like the Victoria Secret commercials when everything slows down and your hair blows in the wind" Okay- maybe that was a little creepy, but I digress.
His name is Matt, and he popped up on Facebook IM today. It went a little something like this:
Snow dayssssssssssss
It's so freaking quiet when it snows. Everything just... stops. It's neat, and I like it.
Also- I like the fact that it is almost 8 on a Monday morning and I am sitting on my ass in my pajamas watching Ryder push his trucks around the room like a crazy man. Usually, my kids would just now be arriving at school, going crazy and screeching about their weekend. Lucky for meeeeeeeee I can push it off until tomorrow or (fingers crossed) Wednesday and then they can come running in screeching about their snow adventures. They're really good kids, but goddamn they give me headaches! I seriously need to get back to writing and get away from depending on my teaching "paycheck" because it's crap. Seriously. Or, at least weasel my way into the public school system, either way.
Anyway- I'm impressed with the snow this time. I'm very skeptical when the weatherman calls for snow, especially when it's enough to get me off work, so when Michael text me thing morning at like 5:15 and asked if we'd gotten snow I was almost scared to go look out the window. I knew that school was cancelled, but they cancel school if there's just ice. I begrudgingly hopped out of bed and went to the window. Holy hell it actually snowed! Like... enough to cover the grass. That's unusual. Ah well- I'm off to bundle my kid and throw snowballs in his face. :)
