I promised to lose wt so I wouldn't have to wear that damn sleep machine....o well, it's been a year and I didn't lose enough..I think I may have lost 8 lbs......lol damn, I hate when that happens.
My eyes have bags under them for the last few months, I feel like I'm "eyes glazed over" during the day. I wake up tired and my tongue is stuck to the back of my throat like I've been breathing out of my mouth...it's really bad. I know that I am not breathing correctly. Wanda said that she heard me stop breathing for 8 seconds....my kids say that I snore "really loudly." So since I have most of the symptoms and they are not getting any better, I must submit to the test again and more than likely get on that damn machine to make sure that I breath correctly and get rest. Maybe if I rest well, all of the excuses to not get more active will go away.
I need to sleep better cuz I'm starting to c dead ppl during the day.

My story is an open book ........
cuz I want to share w ppl my story 2 make them feel better.
I was married for 22 yrs 2 the first man I ever "knew." I never really dated in HS, believe it or not. In HS I remember having a blind date with ?? Willis, Billy Willis?? and I left him at a bar "Paul's" in Jeanerette cuz he was really drunk and I was scared to ride with him so I made some guy friends from Catholic High drive me back to Loreauville. In HS I was more interested in smoking, driving my girlfriends around and dancing at the clubs. I was a very late bloomer. In HS I had a few dates but never really "went steady" until I met the man I would marry at the end of my senior year. I am glad to say that I dated in my 40's more than most women and I enjoyed every moment of it without any regrets....well there were a few regrets.....I never felt that guys were attracted to me in HS. I remember going out and I always had to go flirt with guys at the bar to get them to dance. Now this has developed into the basis for my insatiable appetite to be desired.
I got pregnant at the beginning of my Sophomore year at USL. I stayed out a year while pregnant and worked for Boops Bienvenu Ins. on Main St in St. M and they took great care of me for 9 mos. Back then it was an embarrassment to b pregnant b 4 marriage so I stayed out of USL while pregnant (that was so stupid on my part). I wanted a very small wedding but within 2 mos. my mama and I planned a huge wedding with 300 guest and on top of all that, I got married wearing a white dress....wow. I went back to USL with a newborn, a part-time job and newly married. I graduated in Business only one year behind most of my classmates from LHS. I was able to go full time my last semester and earned a 3.0 av. that I was really proud of. U must understand I was always an av. student and I don't ever remember studying in HS. Never...."winged it" the whole way. I have a "gift of gab" that is often mistaken for intelligence. Myrt reminds me that my vocabulary improved dramatically with all of my job experiences over the years. It's true, I mimic what ppl say and have learned the language over the years to where I find I am more confident in speaking. I constantly google words to learn their meaning. My mother,five older sisters and one younger brother have an amazing command of the English language, so they taught me over the years what I missed in school.
I was born talking and not listening. So it's ironic that I'm an investigator. I must constantly remind myself to listen. Pulette used to say that she had no doubt that I talk so much and the clients get so aggravated that they probably wanna tell me, "just take our kids and shut up."
u know I'm not sure what to title these lil tidbits of my life. I just wanna write and the title may not fit the theme but try to keep up and if it totally aggravates u, then go away.

u know I'm not sure what to title these lil tidbits of my life. I just wanna write and the title may not fit the theme but try to keep up and if it totally aggravates u, then go away.
Life is shitty sometimes but most of the time its like urine......
I know I'm disgusting sometimes but it's not that I'm trying to b disgusting, it's to use words in a way that make it funny. I've heard it called "a play on words." I love to shock ppl as many of u know this. I use "shock" to watch their reaction. Idk y I do this. My mother calls me "unsensored" and I do embarrass myself sometimes but in the end, I laugh and hope that ppl do not take everything I say seriously.
I don't need to be analyzed here. I don't want anyone correcting my grammar. This is a place where I just wanna write down my thoughts and help someone feel more normal about their life. I'm an open book about my life because I at times feel like I have the personality to handle it and most don't. Ppl can use my stories to give them a laugh, gain insight or just understand that we all feel the same sometimes but no one says it out loud.
My current issues I'm dealing with as of today are many. Nothing changes, my life is full of ups and downs. My job has been irritating me so much lately that I find I am fantasizing more and more about another career ....well honestly my fantasies are more about "going postal" and telling everyone what I really think of them at the office, getting a medical statement of work burn out for a couple of months or (what my bosses want me to do)..ask less, write less, get in and out, don't elaborate so much.......I try and try but I just can't put my name on an investigation that is done shoddy. I am so scared to miss somthing and over the years I have and it spooks me.
Okay that was only one of my issues...work....gotta run and go c Roman and Atticus b 4 they leave on vacation.....more to come......
Now listen I'm undiagnosed Bi polaroid.....so I will b down and up and down and up......so hold on.....

So this is y I do this job...
After taking no less than 30 min 2 explain 2 a parent again y "it is what it is"....I'm walking out of court to my car and tall beautiful girl stops me n says, "do u remember me?" I really didn't know but her face was familiar, n she said, "Ms Theriot I'm G......n U helped me so much back when I was 9". Her whole case flooded back to me like a river Even tho she had apparently made some bad decisions as an adult to b in court again, she claimed that her life was on track n she was doing great.
I was like how old r u now? "29" I told her thank u so much cuz most ppl fight n hate me at the beginning of my cases n it takes months even years 4 ppl 2 really understand. She said, "oh I love u Ms Theriot n i told my BF, that's the lady that helped me back then with some issues, n then she said i had to come tell u thanks 4 helping me back then".
Wow I needed that.

Another day on my journey to the nursing home........
by Laurene Theriot on Friday, May 13, 2011 at 10:47pm
So I meet this guy online and I invite him to come along to a wedding of some of my friends that ironicaly met online a couple of years ago.
He meets me at the address of the wedding (the couples home in Carencro) and we can't find anyone at the address where the invitation said the wedding would b held. Well instead of sweating in the sun...I opt to go get a beer at this local bar nearby while I try to figure out who to call since apparently there was a change in the venue.....while in the bar he tells me "I don't like bars, loud music or lots of ppl" after I burped and simultaneously saw my life pass in front of my eyes, I said, "do u like boudin?" he said, "yea" and then I said, "good cuz that would have been the final straw and I'd had to cut ya.
I let him down easy and told him that I was nuts, had a heat rash and wished him well with his search for a mate but I didn't feel a connection. He texted me a poem that was positive and complimentary. I somehow feel the meeting was a success in a sick way. lol

If u dined at Chilis on northside btween 7 n 1030 this evening...u ain't 2 cute.
So my BFF goes on a blind date. I knew it would b fun 4 me when she asked me the Hwy # that runs from Iowa, La to La Av. (r u f serious?) "I-10 Poo" (good Lawd)
So she's nervous n I'm on my sofa so glad its her n not me cuz it's raining n I'm just happy doing "not a damn thing". Well that the guy isn't familiar w this area n im certain Poo AIN'T... I make a list for Poo of ea exit between Iowa n La Av. In case he calls n she gets nervous n gets all the exits mixed up. Therapist Nat n Psycho Lo get her all pumped up ab life n enjoying the moment n not have any expectations etc!!!
So she leaves... Wooooohoooo
That f biotch normally calls me n text me hundreds of times a day but now that she's on a blind date, she loses all her mind forgets to check in....well I get busy on FB, coffee, tv (police murder shows-no less) coffee, tv, FB...then it's 10 pm n I freak out. I realize she never called or checked in in 4 hours!!! I text, no ans. I call, no ans. I wait. I call, no ans. I tell Nat. Nat calls n leaves a message. Then I wait n think now they went to Chilis...that's it, I'm calling Chili's....northside

May b I should label this place..........Poo and Lo's conversations.
continuing my story from last night.
So Poo and I r laughing ab her "inability to understand directions ex: North South East and West."
She says how her date asked her if he was to exit and head north of I-10 or South? She tells me, "I didn't know what to say and I didn't want him to know that I am directionally impaired, so I told him ...go right."
lmao....so I'm pissin and tell Poo.....u know 4 someone who can literally recite 34 years of DSS policy, it's amazes me that u cannot understand ur basic coordinates!!
So I proceed to try and explain to her that its only 4 coordinates and two r opposite...so I continue and say if I-10 runs East and West so u r exiting either North or South....she says, "how do u know which way is North or South?" Wow, some things r better left alone and just enjoy. So I tell her, "just forget it."

Grand Isle, Holly Beach and Galveston....I was raised this way
I had an opportunity to go 2 Grand Isl this summer for Memorial Day and I am planning 2 return in Aug. if all goes as planned.
When I think of Grand Isle, Galveston and Holly Beach.....it's heaven 2 me and hell 2 others.....funny how so many things in life r like this. Ev. one has their opinion of places, people and things and that's what makes the world go round.
It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring......
Myrt (my 4th eldest sister) swears that she never heard that lil song b4...
It's Friday July 8, 2011 @ 5:30 p.m. and I'm home alone, sitting on my sofa looking out the front glass door watching the rain w my left eye and bloggin w my r. Quiet time is so seldom but appreciated later in life. Often times I c the younger parents all stressed out, running after their young ones and I go back to those days and Idk, I miss them in a way but not so in another way....Raising children was hard to me. It was exhausting actually and I'm still tyyrrrud.
Today I removed a teenager. On days like today it takes me time to process all of the emotional stuff cuz I feel like I put myself not only in the child's life and history but the caretakers' also. Sometimes I feel like I've already earned a PhD in psychology thru work experiences. I wonder what more could I do or how much better could I b in my job w more education. I often feel like the best workers I've worked w had it since birth evidently and no further education would have helped other workers to even get there.

Much needed vacation is at the end of July.......
Well Pulette (retired after 34 yrs with the state) and I r planning to go on a road trip to Queen Pat (my eldest sister) and Larry's home my birthday weekend in Marietta, GA. Poo's lack of directional skills will b my biggest challenge. This should b fun and it'll b the first time that I will get to spend time on Pat and Larry's houseboat/yacht on the lake. I gave her a tentative date and I need to call her and let her know that we r really serious.
She never believes that I will fit her into my schedule until I'm on her porch.
My plan is to head out Thursday and take a slow pace and enjoy the lil towns on the way. I hope to just relax and enjoy the ride and conversation with Poo. I am so blessed to have the time to take off of work in this very bad economic time and I will appreciate each hour away from my job. I hope to share my trip with those that care of appreciate my stories, I'm sure we will have many.

This is my first post on my blog..............here we go......
If u r looking 4 a place to read real accounts of the life of a female born at the tail end of the baby boomers then this is the place to be. Most of the time u won't b able to tell if I'm telling the truth or it's an exaggerated account. I say it like it is most of the time.hoping that my honesty will touch someones emotions that feels the same but would never voice their thoughts. I find my life to b entertaining most of the time with the good outweighing the bad.
I'm turning 50 on the 31st and its the birthday that I fear the most. I don't know y, it's just 50 sounds so mature and maybe there is a side of me that doesn't wanna grow up. Honestly part of it is now I feel I have to raise the age of the guys I date from 30's to 40's lol.
I have been single now for 9 yrs. and it's been a long road to self love and the release of guilt that I have felt for years. I'm looking forward to the next hopefully few decades of my life and I don't wanna waste any time on negative thoughts or ppl.
