Sounds Like Life To Me

Got a call last night from an old friend’s wife
Said I hate to bother you
Johnny Ray fell off the wagon
He’s been gone all afternoon
I know my buddy so I drove to Skully’s
And found him at the bar
I say hey man, what’s going on
He said I don’t know where to start
Sarah’s old car’s about to fall apart
And the washer quit last week
We had to put momma in the nursing home
And the baby’s cutting teeth
I didn’t get much work this week
And I got bills to pay
I said I know this ain’t what you wanna hear
But it’s what I’m gonna say
(Chorus)Sounds like life to me it ain’t no fantasy
It’s just a common case of everyday reality
Man I know it’s tough but you gotta suck it up
To hear you talk you’re caught up in some tragedy
It sounds like life to me
Well his face turned red and he shook his head
He said you don’t understand
Three kids and a wife depend on me
And I’m just one man
To top it off I just found out
That Sarah’s 2 months late
I said hey bartender set us up a round
We need to celebrate
(Chorus)Sounds like life to me plain old destiny
Yeah the only thing for certain is uncertainty
You gotta hold on tight just enjoy the ride
Get used to all this unpredictability
Sounds like life
Man I know its tough but you gotta suck it up
To hear you talk you’re caught up in some tragedy
Sounds like life to me
Sounds like life

We're doing good. Hard sometimes during the week due to not seeing each other but it could be so much horrible, because at least we have the weekends together and we can talk to him at any point I want. I understand I am so blessed because at least he's not overseas like some of my friends other halves. Last weekend we went to one of his best friend's birthday parties. Normally I really wouldn't worry about our relationship and the status of it, but on the way home last Saturday he started mentioning the possible what if's. Usually I would have thought nothing about this but I knew where this all stemmed from. His best friend and him almost dated. I love Samantha as if she's my sister, but in the looks department we're total opposite. Her heaviest weight up until recently (only due to pregnancy) was 125 lbs, I can't remember when I weighed that. I'm probably two of her. She's big boobed and I'm mostly average in that department cause of my weight. She can wake up and be pretty without trying. I of course have spend an hour or so in the bathroom to get that appearance. Well he proceeded to tell me that if anything were to ever happen between me and him and Samantha and Matthew didn't work out he'd take her in, but quickly added it wouldn't be anything like that. Mind you I know he only said that to help my feelings at this point. I have no idea why this hurt me so bad but I felt like he's just stomped all over my chest. Well I mentioned that his best friend dated her first and asked if guys didn't have a best friend rule. He said that he didn't think Jamie would care so he'd still go for it. So I asked what he'd think/feel if Jamie and me were to start dating if something goes wrong between me and him(Dustin), he said he'd be upset but he'd just get over it. Well maybe cause I'm a girl, I understand that the best friend rule. If anything were to ever happen between the two of us, I wouldn't go to any of is friends in hopes of a relationship. Are guys and girls really that different?

While at the party the marriage subject came up. We always shy away from that subject because it makes him so uneasy. He's only 19 years old and I can understand not rushing into that. I'm 21 and this is the first relationship I've been in for more than a year and not got an engagement ring. I think I respect him more for not rushing to the store to get a ring. But Samantha and Jessi both got rings last week so of course that was a very hot topic. I'm more than happy with knowing he's my one for life, but I also want him to be ready for that big commitment. Granted I've already got alot of the wedding planned but if it takes 5-10 years... well 10 is a far stretch but 5 years, yes I'll wait. I'm not really trying to rush him down the aisle or anything. Do I ever get jealous when I hear/see all of my friends beating me to the alter? Yeah but I know that with due time everything will fall into place like it's suppose to.
　
::Money, Money, Money::
Still on the prowl for a job =\. Feel like it's never going to happen. I'm hoping more sooner than later that I'll figure something out. Application after application seem to get more and more discouraged everytime I put one in. I seem to have put one in at every possible place... bars, hospitals, doctors offices, stores, gas stations, clubs, restaurants.... every place possible

Stole this from Jae.. wanted to blog but wasn't sure what to say... so with her assistant this is what came of it

Maybe I should...
motivate myself into being myself again
I love the smell of...
him when he comes home, nail place, cucumber melon, fresh cut watermelon, summer, sweet pea, cherry blossom..etc
People would say that I...
am overly concerned about the little things
When I wake up in the morning...
I should start with a healthy breakfast, or for that matter just a breakfast
I lost my will power to..
try to move forward... I'm seeming to be stuck in a rut
Life is wonderful with...
family, friends, and smiles
My past made me...
the person I am today
I get annoyed when...
people are so judgemental and negative
Parties are not...
something I really every done
Dogs are...
my children. I have 4
Cats…
are not my kinda animal
Tomorrow I am going to…
continue my job search and this time I'm going to continue in faith
I'm totally terrified of...
childish things or so I'm told
I wonder why I thought my life would be...
in such a different place than what it is now
Never in my life...
have I like the word never, I always say not ever
High school was something that...
Wish I could redo it knowing what I know now
Take my advice...
Live life to the fullest, never regret anything because at one point it's what you wanted, dance like noones watching, sing like you're areatha franklin even if you're horrible and enjoy all the little things cause they're what bring the most smiles
Making my bed is…
something that only happens when I change the sheets on the bed
I'm addicted to…
Mountain Dew, The Internet, My Camera, Shopping, Doodling useless things on paper
I want someone…
to love me the old fashion kinda way.. where'd all the chivary go?!?
