Will I make it through tomorrow
Will I make it through the night
Will I survive all the sorrow
My thoughts are full of fright
Will my Mom be okay
Will my Grandpa live much longer
I know things that cause you pain
Can only make you stronger
I’m tired of being tired
I’m sick of feeling blue
I’m tired of all the worries
I’m wanting something new
A way to ease the stress
A way to calm my brain
A way to stop my thoughts
From causing all this strain
I know things will work out
And things will be alright
I know I will make it through this
And live through another night

Okay, so here is the story. This week in Alpena Mi, The annual week long Brown Trout Festival is going on. Its just a week long fishing festival with bands every night down at the marina, art events, kid events, and all kinds of fun stuff. Our local museum (The Besser Museum), decided they wanted to do an exhibit to go along with the Festival. A good friend of ours who is the Facilities Manager over at the Museum, designed the gallery and he called it “Something Fishy.”
The Exhibit is wonderful. He has a collection of taxidermy Fish that are all native to Michigan hanging all over the walls (donated by Limited edition taxidermy), and then he has an old fishing ice shanty, many old wooden lures, and reels, and all kinds of cool stuff. He also shared some stories of fishing with his dad, and his brothers.
The Exhibit is wonderful. Randy did a WONDERFUL job on it. Well, tonight was the reception for the opening of the exhibit. They ordered a Large Fruit tray from our deli. Since we are such good friends, we knew we had to throw in something extra special for him.
So I emailed Ryan, and he saved me by sending me the fish pattern I needed to be able to carve a watermelon for the event. My husband also carved a fish and a seahorse out of the bottom peice of the watermelon that I cut off as the opening!
It turned out great! We were just thrilled! And so was everyone at the reception. It was great fun! I just wanted to again say, Ryan you are the BEST!!! Thanks so much!

Why do people do things to hurt the people they love? Why do they do it thinking they won’t get caught? Then when they do instead of apologizing, or trying to do something to make the other feel better, they sit there.
Why do people have conversations asking others to change, but they won’t bother to change anything themselves? Maybe those people need to look at how they haven’t changed and realize their own behavior is partial to blame for the pain that the other is going threw.
Relationships are all about trust, and when trust is broken, feelings break down. The feelings you want to be experiencing get pushed aside and the feelings of sadness, forgotten, and other hurtful feelings come forward, and then that is all the can be focused on.
Don’t ask me to try harder, if you wont’ even bother. Don’t ask me to do something differently, if you are still going to do the same sick things you always do.

Yesterday, Jamie and I were on our way home from our friends softball game. We were at a 4 way stop in a construction area. We waited our turn, and then went. We were turning left, onto US 23. As we turned the person to the right of us started going straight and almost hit the side of us. It was a 20 something guy in a little red car. Now he was pissed and was riding our ass. Jamie tapped the breaks a bit, and the kid backed off.
When we got up to the light near the shell gas station, the jerk pulled up beside us and started yelling. Lots of curse words, we laughed, said a few back and continued on. He pulled back into the lane behind us. I told Jamie to turn into the Police Station, mainly because I just didn’t want this freak following us home.
So we turned in the Police Station, and turned around and got back on the road. A Cop pulled our right behind us. We were stopped at the light on 3rd, and the jerk in the red car was at the stop light on 2nd in the turn lane. Our light turned green and the kid was still waiting to turn so we honked and waved as we went by.
The kid started to turn right as 2 kids on bikes came into the intersection and he had to slam on his breaks. The Cop that was following us. . . got in the turn lane and followed the kid in the red car!
Now, I could care less if the kid got pulled over, because you know the moment he saw that cop on his tail, he probably got pissed, thought we called the cops on him, and probably panicked for quite some time. So to me it made it all worth it.
The point of this is, sometimes you don’t have to react to road rage. People with get what they deserve.
