I feel like nothing is going right today. I home schoiol my kids. My son's stuff still has not come in. We lost all my daughter's work, again. I tried to dye my hair from a dark brown/black to a red, and it only got blacker.

I have been looking for a job. Not heavy, just seeing what's out there. I got a call the other day for an interview that was to be held at a local hotel. I went and it was one of those multi-level-marketing things...totally not interested. Wasted the gas to go all the way across town, well actually into a different town just to figure out what I knew all a long, it wasn't going to be a job for me.

I get home and start to ball. Make-up smeared from hear to there. Racoon eyes. Locked in my room. I feel like crap. I miss my husband. I miss my bff. I miss my mom and other two sons (they live in Texas), I have been bored all day long, I went off budget today...the list just keeps going.

Doc told me to go ahead and up my meds starting today. That is probably contributing to feeling like crap. Anyway. Just wanted a faux shoulder to cry on. Man, I wish Icould drink on these meds...

sounds like youre having a super crappy day. im very sorry to hear this. keep posting here, as many will respond and be able to help you feel better. just writing it can help.

now, i know this is probably the very least of your concerns- but with your hair, i can help there. ive had dark brown/black hair. usually, the only way to change the color if your hair is blackish, is to strip it first. i would reccomend having this professionally done. i did it myself once, and my hair turned all sorts of weird shades of orange. i love black hair, but will never color it that color again unless i plan on keeping it permanately.

and I only hide what is on my mind, because i can't explain...

I can relate to your crappy day. I have had several things happen that have not been ideal. My daughter has been in the hospital with an asthma attack, my car is eating gas, not getting my child support because they have a hold on it which shouldn't be,and blah blah blah. My daughter's father moved in with me. He is sleeping on the couch. He left his wife and asked if he could stay here awhile. Its another authority figure for my daughter but I don't really like him being here.
