There's a lot on my mind but I'm exhausted so I don't know how much will be here LOL

NAACP things that the NFL shouldn't ban Michael Vick. Are they stupid? He doesn't deserve to be paid millions after killing dogs. He can try to get a job somewhere else. They should be looking at what it looks like for 'their' people.

50 Cent Says he'll retire if Kayne West sells more records Sept 11 when they both come out with their new albums. Well...buy 50 Cent's!!! Kanye's new single SUCKS!! It's so annoying. And I just like Fiddy!

I see that it's almost six am. I'm not a morning person. I like my sleep as much as I can get it. Yes I AM one of those people that will sleep their life away because it feels good. I'm up because my teeth/gums/jaw hurts. I borrowed something that is finally helping. So I've taken 2 arthris tylenol, 3 ibubrofen, and 2 of the borrowed stuff. Finally it's working. I want to sleep. IF I go to sleep now I can get an hour and a half. I've got to take my dad to his regular doctor and then to chemo. I'm going to ask about antidepressants for my dad. Maybe I can slip me in. We'll see.

Never ever have the thought 'It can't get any worse' cause trust me it so can. Things just seem to get worse and worse here. Today I had to go home from work because I was so sick. It was just stress. I rested and I feel better but not good. I can't sleep or eat too much. Today my appitite came back for a little bit but I'm to the point if it's trouble I don't want to do it. I feel so crappy for somethings I think. Like earlier I was on the potty and my dad was yelling for me. I kept saying to wait but he couldn't hear me. I hurried up and went to him. I told him how sad it is that even on the pot I can't get peace. I didn't mean it bad but it WAS ironic.

Everynight is the same thing. I'm either home or I get off work and bring him milk, his insulin, undies, diaper, socks, shirt and pants. Every night. I have to make sure he has meds. Check any to see if I need to call them in. It's routine. He can't go anywhere overnight alone. He knows that. What I hate is that Brooke and Daddy time has suffered. I'm closer to my dad that most kids and I value that. I told him tonight that tomorrow night before bed we are watching a movie or show together. Just to chill.

Mother's Day has passed. My bestfriend was her that weekend and it made things better. I generally hate mother's day. Maybe that will change when I am one. My mother hasn't ever cared for me and I guess I really hate her for that. I know I know I shouldn't hate but you have no idea what she has done to me. I was listening to Kellie Pickler (yes I know) and her new single 'I Wonder' makes me cry. This set really hits home


I think about how it ain’t fair that you weren’t there to braid my hair like mothers do
You weren’t around to cheer me on
Help me dress for my high school prom like mother’s do
Did you think I didn’t need you here to hold my hand, to dry my


There were a couple of things she was there for. I'll give her that. Even graduation. I had six tickets and gave her three. She and my two cousins came. But the whole time I was up there I was watching my dad. He cried. She didn't. In my year book I said 'This is for you Dad' Not mom. She didn't help me. She just wanted to be there in the happy moments.

I remember her taking me to her high school reuion (she didn't graduate so I was like huh?) Anyway. It was her twentieth. I was sixteen. She was parading me around in OUR hometown. She introduced me as her daughter Brooke (No last name) and they were like aren't you Wynne's daughter. I about died laughing. I was like yeah. They started asking about him and asked if one of his brothers was there and on and on. It so pissed her off. People here KNOW my dad raised me. They know he did it alone. She wanted to pretend she did. She even told peole she helped us when we needed it. She never did. She promised shoes many times for school. It got to the point my dad stopped asking. Why? She wasn't going to buy them why ask. She'd rather blow her money on...blow or pot than me.

I can't wait for father's day. I have my dad another year thank GOD and I get to celebrate him!!

You Are 49% Pure
You're not so innocent... in fact, you're quite unpure.You have seen and experienced a lot. And you're no worse for the wear!

There comes a day in everyone's life where you feel like your world stops spinning. I thought that was four years ago when my dad told me he had cancer. I would gladly take that feeling back. April 2003 we found out he had prostate cancer. Things just went downhill that year. We found out how bad it was then he has a heart attack.

Good Friday. What is good about it? Jesus died for all of us. He gave himself so we wouldn't have to suffer. Suffering...Father Jeff Perot talked about that Tuesday. I had no idea what that word would come to mean three days later. Jesus died so we could live. Live on with him in Heaven. He felt so alone up on the cross in the end. He felt like his father had abandonded him. I am trying my hardest not to feel that way.

My dad went to the doctor on Thursday and she was concerned because he'd lost 30-40 pounds since October, he looked pale and hurt so much. He had a bone scan Friday.

He called afterward and said he was going to his parents' I knew something was up but I had no idea what it was. He came home and told me that found spots on his scan. Spots. Spots. A simple word but it tore me apart. I have cried everyday because of it. I don't know how to feel or what to do. My dad could be here a few months or a few years but not long enough.

I want my dad to walk me down the aisle when I ever get married. I can't imagine him not being there. Anyone that knows me knows that he's raised me alone all my life. My mother never cared to be there for me and he took both roles and loved me more than any other dad could. I haven't even forgiven my mother for leaving me, for not loving me. I don't know how to not be angry with God for taking my father too.

I'm twenty-six. My biggest fear has always been that I'd loose my dad early in life and it would affect me like it did my mother. I'm sure that if my Grandfather had been around now she'd be different and he's something great to me. He died when I was 1 1/2. My future children most likley won't know their grandpa. Why is this way? Why?

I was always under the belief that God won't give you more than you can handle but I just don't know if I belive that. I've gotten so close to a nervous breakdown latley and then this. If he's gone I have no one. No one that knows my deep dark secrets and loves me spite them. No one that leads me. No that tells me that prayer helps even when he's not sure.

I'm scared to loose my leader. My father, my best friend. I am fighting so bad to not be angry with God. I want to hate him. I want to scream out. I don't know how long I can fight this.

I'm going to try to sleep. I haven't slept since. Well atleast not much.

April is about to start and the after come May Sweeps. Then three LONG months of wonderment. Some we'll find out quickly. Some we KNOW. But I'm looking at Kristin at E!Online at who she thinks is in trouble. She is doing Save Our Show again where you vote on shows.


Vote with Kristin
You can also see what she things on the shows I'm talking about here.

She says these are looking safe:
30 Rock: I tried to watch this show but was annoyed. Alec Baldwin should go back to movies. Or not. But he shouldn't be doing TV. I just CANNOT get into this show and refused to watch more than one 10 min scene.
Friday Night Lights: This is really a great show. I couldn't watch it due to time conflicts but when I did I really liked it.
Scrubs: Very good show. Don't like it but it's very well written and should be renewed.

She says now these are looking uncertain:
Crossing Jordan: This one just pissed me off. They moved CJ to Sunday and now to Wed (Against OTH and Criminal Minds) I'm not happy at all!! They didn't bring it back until midseason so that was bad enough. But this season has been great!!! I love this show. And its just getting better and better.
Gilmore Girls: This show is way way over. It's old and old. Get out while...well just get out.
How I Met Your Mother: This show is SOO funny!! Its one of the best comedies that CBS has.
Jericho: I've heard nothing but good things about this show. I haven't watched but I'm sure it's great.
Medium: I liked this when it first came on but it got old quickly. Same story almost very week. Get out!
One Tree Hill: I love the show. Anyone that knows me knows I love it!! But I dunno. The writers have MAJORLY screwed it up. And I don't know that I'm excited for them to SKIP four years between seasons.
Six Degrees: Is this show still on?
Supernatural: Good show. Bad timeslot.
What About Brian: What ABOUT Brian? Stupid stupid show.

These she says are looking doomed:
The Class: Funny as hell!! This should totally be renewed. CBS wouldn't be the same.
Close to Home: Had it's moments but it's old.
The Nine: Like Six Degrees. Is this show still on?
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip: As much as I love Matthew Perry this show is awful. A train wreck. Bad Bad Bad.
Veronica Mars: Good show on crappy network.



My personal opinion on networks:
CBS is getting better and better. Good comedies and good drama's.
ABC is awful. I think the only show I can watch is Grey's and I'm not excited about the WAY WAY TOO SOON spin off.
NBC is wonderful but if they get rid of Law & Order I will be pissed!!! They have a great mix of dramas with crappy comedies.
CW is awful. OTH is the only good thing.
FOX is rediculous!

The KKK held a raly to support Tarleton State University students who were chastized for having a party on Martin Luther King Jr's birthday. The party had students (Off campus mind you) dressed up as Aunt Jamima, eating fried chicken and such. The KKK says its a part of the first amendment and the school should stay out of it.

I have to agree. It was off campus and they have no right to do anything.

KKK article

Article about the TSU students party

TSU President's Letter about the incident

The funny thing is. This has been going on for 30 years or so. I didn't get invited when I was at TSU. I feel sad about that. It's all in fun. Things happen and this wasn't the only school that this happened at. They have a right to live the way they want as long as it doesn't brake any laws and this didn't.

What is your usual bedtime? Do you like that, or would you rather it be different?
Usually when ever I can fall asleep. I'd like to sleep earlier. I should be taking melatonin.

About equal. I give a lot to kids and I get alot from people older.

Salad

Birthday meals when my dad made shrimp etouffee. One birthday. I think my 19th. I had to shell all the shrimp myself because it was after my dad's finger accident. It was fun to help him though.

Main Course
Name a work of fiction that affected the way you think about something.
Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar. I can look at others and know they may be just like me. She didn't. She couldn't accept what was wrong and it was the end of her. In the book and real life.

Dessert
What is your favorite type of fruit juice?
Cran-grape. I could drink that til I burst. I drank it a lot as a kid but as an adult I love it.

This is so rediculous.

Merck pushing law forcing girls as young as 11 and 12 to have shot against HPV.

DUH! Merck wants that because they will FORCE people to buy thier product. NO ONE should ever ever be forced to be sorta immunized for cancer. It can't immunize you 100% and it's for cancer. It's not like the woman/GIRL can spread it. She can only get HPV from a man. And only through sex. I DO NOT think that doing so will cause teen girls to have sex. That happens anyway. I just really think a drug company lobbying to have a immunization forced upon girls is just rediculous. It's unethical. It's ONLY for profit. That's what drug companies are for!
If anyone is in the Palo Pinto County Area and intersted in helping out with The Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society let me know! I am also collecting donations as well. Leave me a comment or email me at redboomkat@yahoo.com and I'll meet up with you. I am doing this in honor of My Father who has been battling Prostate Cancer for almost four years now. Thanks for all your help

The relay will be at the high school track on April 27, 2007 at 7pm!
You've Changed 52% in 10 Years
You've done a good job changing with the times, but deep down, you're still the same person.You're clothes, job, and friends may have changed some - but it hasn't changed you.
Friday's Feast

Appetizer
Choose one: Popcorn, Pizza, Pretzels, Peanuts, or Pasta.
Of course Pasta...

Soup
Describe your personality in terms of a particular vehicle.
I'd have to say I'm a Ford F-250. I may be a tad large and a tad annoying but I'll do my best to get the job done.

Salad
If you won a shopping spree, from which store would you want it to be?
Bath and Body Works. I could have so much. Bath gels, bath salts, makeup, candles, and on and on.

Main Course
Which television re-runs to you enjoy watching?
Any one I know could answer this for me. I love watching Friends. I have seen every eppy atleast five times!

Dessert
If you could look in the future, how far down the road would you like to see? 10 years? 100 years? A million?
Personally none. God has a plan for me and mine and he'll reveal it in due time. I want to be surprised so my emotions are genuine.

I always wanted to be a teacher like my grandma. She was so happy teaching kids and I thought that would be neat

I had recently realized all my dreams in one. I always wanted to do Psychology. But something special. I wnat to be a Criminology in some sort maybe working for the FBI. Right now money is standing in my way. I need money to get back to school then I can get my grades back up and get on a federal grant again

3. Who is your biggest fan? Who is always encouraging you to be all that you can be?
My daddy always thought I could do anything. He belived in me without pushing me like some parents. Now he still does. He is so sure I can do whatever I want. I'm so afraid of not having him physically there. But he'll always been cheering for me in heaven.

4. What bible study or book (besides the obvious-the Bible) has most impacted your life to date?Truthfully I can't recall a bible study that really impacted me beside just reading. But the book that hit me and I remember so much is "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath

My sister's birthday is tomorrow...Jan 25. She'll be spending it in jail. Like she did Christmas and New Years. I wrote her a letter finally and like I told her I still really want to think of her as thirteen and annoying as hell. We were so close. We always knew when something was up. After she was about sixteen I had to push the feeling out because it was coming all the time. When I went to her husband's funeral last year I could feel her pain when she looked at me. I hear twins say this stuff. I don't know like how to explain it. It's really neat but sometimes it's like I hurt and can't do anything about it. We are only half sisters. I hope that she's getting her shit together in there. Unless something changes her release date is 1/27/2008. She says she's not coming back here because of the horible meth problem we have and that's a good start. My cousin. Her...brother...long story...is in jail for drugs, he lived here too. My other cousin has served time for manufacturing. He tried living here but it was too hard.
My mother. She's a whole case herself. If you live here and read the papers you saw when she was raided by the swat team TWICE! She had the nerve to say she was 75 percent sure she was not guilty. My dad STILL thinks it's funny. It kinda is though. Because she had a clean record for over twenty years and the crap ass cop was being investigated for missconduct on other cases as well as hers they gave her probation. She should have had jail time because he hasn't done shit. I know I'm going on and on and on but I just have to say all this. She came to a family even tanked...she had was tripping off her ass on crank. I've never been so furious in my whole life. I did fine. I told one of her brothers to watch her. My dad wasn't happy cause she talked to him. He hates talking to her like that. By the way if you don't know they've been divorced for like....23 years now! He's still like a member of thier family. My uncle called him his brother in law the other day. What else do you call him? He cares for my mother's family. Well my side is hurting. I'll talk or rant more later

Do you think Crime Drama's are good? Do they give criminals ideas? Or give regular people the tools to be criminals?

I love my crime drama's but I think a disturbed person watching them could be harmful. They might take something to far. A regular person that knows right from wrong wouldn't have problems. What do you think?
Shannon tagged me for this meme.

So here's what you do:

1) Find the nearest book
2) Open to page 123
3) Type lines 6-8 of said book
4) Tag three others

I haven't written in a little bit. Nothing too much has happened. I turned twenty-six Sunday. My dad was older a few hours ago. Right now I'm watching 1 vs 100 and trying to fight my cat as she wants to lay between my arms. Now she walked across them when she COULD have gone behind. I love my little girl. For the past month or so she won't leave my side when I'm home and I really love it. She makes me feel so special. It doesn't seem much but it really is to me.

My knees are both bothering me so much. I know the cold has something to do with it but I just wish the would stop. I know its arthritis now. I'm sure of it with the swelling and constant pain. Advil doesn't work anymore. Tomorrow I'm going to try the Tylenol Arthritis. It claims it will work all day. We'll see!

My dad went to the oncologist Thursday. His PSA was only up about one point so that's so much better and the doctor doesn't want to see him for two months as opposted to one month. I'm excited. So far he's survived four years. Our goal is a lifetime but atleast 11 because his first doctor said he didn't have patients with his diagnosis live more than ten years. He's going to be the first. I'm so sure of it. Though I was sure he didn't have cancer.

He told me today something that makes me cry now. Before I was born my great-uncle was so excited to see me. He was in the hospital and my dad said he would ask if I was born yet all the time. My mom carried me for ten months so I was really late. Well he died Jan 6, 1981 and I was born Jan 7. My great-grandma, his mother, told me when i was 11 that he died so I could be born. He helped but I felt guilty. My dad said today that maybe he's the one that will die so his future grandchild can be born. That just wouldn't be fair. that's all he wants more in life is a granddaughter. I would be so...devestated. I told him that if I have a girl after he's gone I'll name her Pebble Jean for him. That's my nickname he gave me. He liked that I think. I just hope a husband I get will agree.

Well I think I'm going to cut this short and maybe check myspace.
