Day One

I'm supposed to be asleep right now.  In fact I scolded myself an hour ago that I was still up.  Once again I've fallen down that deep dark hole that is the internet and my own fucked up brain.  I've started this new blogging adventure as an outlet for all the dark things bouncing around in my head.  The goal is to get more sleep and maybe be a more well adjusted normal human being.  I'm not holding my breath for either.  Really I just talk about this shit too much at work and with new dates and at parties...  man I suck sometimes.... but I'm also pretty awesome so hopefully it evens out.  People have suggested I write a book about my life experiences so far but I'm not quite so delusional as to think I'll snap my fingers and magically get a book deal so here we are.... at 2:27am..... On a Tuesday..

My name is Christine.  I am 25 years old and single mother of 2 wonderful kiddos.  I work at what I lovingly refer to as a pharmacy cult :D.  Its really a great company and not a cult but we chant our company motto every morning in unison, hence the nickname.  So all of that is the super boring part of my life and probably the full extent of what my parents actually know about me.  They are a large part of why I refer to myself as fucked up.  Not the whole reason. I think biology also has something to do with it (but I am adopted so I do not share their biology...thank god).  

I really should get some sleep now.. I was informed by my father that if my condo wasn't spotless when he came to check on it that he'd sell it and let me be homeless (ok, not for real homeless but I would have to find a new place to live which I really can't afford),  It's not his fault though.. My mother (also known as she-witch, that lady, she who must not be named, credit card sally, quid pro quo, GiGi, the devil wears prada, etc) has put him up to this.  That woman cannot stand me or let me live my life.  Really she can't let anyone do anything that she hasn't approved of before hand.  So my dad does shit like this because she's behind the scenes making his life a living hell if  he doesn't.  I've asked why they're even still married and the response I get is along the lines of "I'm too old to change, it's better to live the the crazy you know" I used to think its because my dad had no idea how to take care of himself (he can't cook) but in recent years he's taken over more and more household duties.. He started doing his own laundry a few years ago and now he even loads the dishwasher.  He's the main one that takes care of my kids in the mornings (I'm usually working).  He might just love my mom too much which would be really lovely if she weren't just completely awful.

Buckle up buttercups.  Most of this blog will probably be about my mother.
