I don't understand..

I just finished dreading an article about the Baby Grace case. All I want to do is go home, hold my baby and cry.

How could anyone harm a child? Especially over something as simple as saying "yes sir". They are monsters. I know there is a letter saying that the mother had nothing to do with it, but that doesn't matter. She had everything to do with it. She brought the man into her home. She let him be around her child. She chose him over her own blood. She let him verbally abuse a child not much older than my own. She could have stopped this from happening, but she didn't.

I wonder if anyone around them ever noticed?

I'm not the biggest supporter of the death penalty, but they do not deserve to be around this earth anymore.

I hope that they get the worst possible sentence possible.

Sweet Home Alabama..in the key of sarcasim.

interesting day....

so at work we have this thing called theme day. every month one department gets to pick a theme and a menu for the employee cafeteria. This month was HR and I'm not sure what the theme was, but they had Karaoke! Pretty sweet if you ask me.

My resident manager forced me to go up and sing. at first I was nervous, but then I grabbed the mic and did a great rendition of :sweet home Alabama" it was fun. I don't think the housekeepers knew what I was singing, but one person gave me a standing ovation! or maybe they were putting up their tray...

anyway, it made work interesting.

All though, it would have been waaayyyy better if I had a UKULELE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

reek oys

Let me start off by saying that I am soooo happy Sandra moved home. She is totally awesome and one of the greatest friends I have ever had.

So on about last night....

I could pretty much just tell you to go to Sandra's blog because she already summed the the night up perfectly. I had so much fun. I made a play date for Landon, met the Greek boys, and had 2.5 drinks. I felt like myself again last night, and the great part was, I felt even better because I didn't feel like I had to hide that I was a single mother.

When I was talking to one of the Greek boys, he kept saying how I was a strong woman for speaking so directly about the topic. I told him why should i hide the best part of my life. The part that makes me smile all the time. The part that has made me who i am today. i will never hide my son from anyone. Ever.

we are supposed to meet the Greek boys for coffee today. will it happen? I don't know, but I wouldn't mind at all :)

Yea Tuesday!

Today was s great day. Good hair, light traffic, and my boss had a meeting so I snuck out of my office to get coffee. Awesome. It does not take much to make me happy. Yet...I still do not have a ukulele.

So I have an invite to go to a small get together Saturday night. I'm happy that the person having the GT invited me, but I'm afraid Ed might be there. (and by the way, Ed is not his real name and it's not short for erectoral dysfunction).

Last night sandra and I went to a kick ass MLK party at my sisters. Best MLK day EVER!

We also had a discussion on what our songs would be if we were strippers. Mine is a Jack Johnson song, of course, and yes, he does play the Ukulele in it :)

the majority of my friends...

So I have blogged about oh..12 times. Only 8 people have checked out my wonderful commentary. I'm pretty sure one specific one might have been here 7 times. Step it up people. Step. It. Up.

Random

Yea Sunday!!

Update: Still no UKULELE!!! I know, this blog would be boring if I had one, but i still have hope :)

I have decided to change my criteria when dating. My number one priority is now going to be, hygiene. I think a lot of people have be taking this important part of life for granted. If I'm going to date you, you must shower on a daily basis.

Work is finally getting better. Things are calming down and I'm starting to take on more projects. Are they challenging, no. They are making the time go by a little faster...

Landon is starting to talk more and more. his fav word right now, dinosaur, grrr...
it's awesome.

Class starts next week and I feel incredibly old, but I'm excited.

I have a field trip planned next week. Stay tuned for pictures and commentary...

Friday

ed is weird. if you are my friend, please point out strange behavior because sometimes i am oblivious to the world around me.

Dentist and a day off!

Happy Thursday!

Well, not really. I still don't have a ukulele....

Anyway, I went back to see my 12 year old dentist today. I actually found out he just turned 30. I felt a little better about him drilling in my mouth. Plus he offered me his iPhone to listen to since I left my iPod at home. HE ROCKS!!

I've decide to get rid of my Myspace. I rarely go on there anymore, and now I'm on Facebook and it's sooooooooo much better.

landon is ready for his bath so i will finish later...

Job Hunt

UGH.

So my wonderful job that I love so much is no longer so wonderful. Partially due to the economy, partially due to the people I work with. I think it's time for a change.

Change is good. I think? The only thing that is hard now is that I have a little person who depends on me so I can't just quit and figure it out later. I think I'm ready for an industry change...maybe I should go into party planning? Or maybe music instrument sales (i bet if I did i could find a nicely priced ukulele). Who knows. I'm not setting limitations.

So in order to try and get another real job most places require this thiing called a resume. resume you say? My thoughts exactly. I went to a friends house today and she offered to help. This was our conversation

ME: Hi!! wanna help?
KG: Sure! what did you bring?
Me: Nothing.
KG: Nothing? Not even an old resume?
ME: Nope. I don't have one.
KG: YOU DON"T HAVE ONE!! You know your an adult now Sarah...
Me: Sure do.
KG: Where is your work history and info?
Me: right here (as I tap my temple)
KG: write some stuff down and call me on Thursday.
Me: that's when they finish my root canal. oh wait, they might give me drugs, I'm funny when I'm on drugs. Is humor good for a resume?
KG: call me Thursday...

It's going to be a long week...

My child the greatest person ever...

There is a rose bush in front of my house. Everytime Landon and I go out, he has to stop, and smell the rose. I love him.

You know what would make me happy right now...?

a ukulele. and some (lots of) wine.

Neither of which I have.

Today was stress full. This entire week at work has been horrible. They started laying people off on Tuesday. My job is safe, for now, but they laid off some of the people I actually like. It blows.

Ed just won't get the hint. He called to tell me he had to drive to Dallas (which I could care less about) and the whole time he is talking all I want him to say is, "yea, I went up there to get laid."
He never did. He apparently went to help a friend. He's a nice guy, but I think he tries to be a nice guy. It's annoying.

My boss made me cry for the first time today. I don't cry at work, but my integrity was being questioned so I lost it. I think he felt bad. He told me to stop crying because my eyes were to beautiful for that. If he wasn't married, my boss, the same age as my father, or french, I totally would have a min crush on him. Ok, probably not. he likes spandex and that's just gross.

then there is rob. I like rob. I need to find a way to let him know. any ideas send them my way...

Landon is hungry so I'm going to go feed him.

peace

ps. my shift key only works every other time, that's why my capitalization sucks.

UPDATE:

i still don't have a Ukulele.

Rainy days and mondays always get me...

I would like to send a shout out to Caren Carpenter for the title of this blog post, even though she has no songs that use a ukulele.

I thought i would finish my post about Ed, but I changed my mind. Instead i have picked off all my nail polish today, which is actually a good sign.

I'm optimistic today. For some reason I feel like 09 is going to be a great year. Even though a ton of stuff is changing at work, I still enjoy the people I work with and am truly blessed.

Landon is such a little character. He's speaking in small sentences and ate almost an entire bag of grapes in the grocery store yesterday. i felt kind of bad, so I went and grabbed another bag and had them charge me for more because he ate so many

It's Monday and it's rainy, but i don't feel like anything can get me down

truly random, truly how I feel today

Boys...

So a few months back I started dating this guy, we will call him ed. Perfectly sweet, perfectly safe.

He was the first person I had dated since I had Landon.

Shortly after I had made the decision that I could be a single mom and date, I started having panic/anxiety attacks. If you have never had one, I hope you never do. I couldn't do anything. I couldn't move, I couldn't speak, I was hot I was cold, I threw up, I felt like I was dying.

I finally went to the doctor and now I am medicated. Lorazapam is my friend :)

One of the things the doctor told me to do was figure out what was causing the attacks. I thought it was being away from my son. The first attack I had I was on my way back from Austin, it made sense. The next one I was on my way to my friend Laura's house, with Landon, now it didn't make sense.

Then one day Ed and I went to lunch at work, attack! It was little and I had my medicine. Then one night I was making dinner at a friends house and he came over, attack! I ended up on her bathroom floor pucking and calling my mother to pick me up because I was afraid to drive with my son. After Ed left, I felt fine and my mom was pissed because I was fine to drive home.

I realized early on that it was probably him, but I ignored it. What was wrong with him? He was sweet, he got along with my son everything should be great, but it wasn't. We had nothing in common. I like to think of myself as a pretty fun person. I go with the flow, I'm social, I enjoy life. I don't think he did or does for that matter.

For Thanksgiving my family went to Tennessee. It was awesome. I was stuck on a mountain with no cell phone or lap top. It gave me a lot of time to think.

One night my grandma was talking about how she has grown to love my grandfather, but has never been in love with him. Her true love was Bob Guest. I man I never met, because he died shortly after their wedding. She had 6 children and didn't want to do it on her own again. My grandpa was there, he was stable, he was ok that she had children...

after I conversation I decided that I didn't like Ed the same way he liked me. We had nothing in common and the only thing he was adding to my life was stress. I tried to end it COMPLETELY.

to be continued......

Root Canal

Happy Saturday!

I just finished having my first root canal. Not bad, except my dentist looked 12. This is how most of our chit chat went:

12 D: are you OK?
Me: yes
12 D: sweet

12 D: Are you OK?
Me: yes
12 D: score.

He actually was fantastic and i will recommend him to anyone who needs a root canal, or a wake up call.

I am a tahitian slut

Here is one of my random posts...

So a couple of months back I was bored at work (which doesn't happen that often because I love my job and i rarely have a spare moment) so I decided to Google my name. There were a few interesting things, mostly old ladies who were dead . Then I noticed there was an IMDB entry. SCORE!!! I was excited. I could now tell random people in bars that I was an actress. I REAL actress. Then I looked up this chick with my name. Ugh. One credit. One movie. Sarah Blah Blah BLah...Tahitian Slut.

At first I was disappointed, then I realized it was kind of cool because it was filmed in Canada and there was this one time I was in Canada....

But that's another story...

Anyway, I went to tell my mom.

Me: Mom, I googled myself! I'm a Tahitian slut!
Mom: (look of confusion)
Me: No really!
Mom: But your not Tahitian?

Really?? I thought she would say I wasn't a slut, but now I know her true feelings...

All I want in 2009 is a Ukulele

So for the past 7 years all I have wanted for any holiday is a Ukulele. I think people don't believe me, because I have yet to receive one.

This blog will be my documentation on my quest for a ukulele in 09. I might also post random stuff and pictures of my ADORABLE little boy Landon Matthew.

It's a new year, I will find a ukulele.
