You may be asking yourself <i>"Where the Hell has this girl been?" "Is she even alive?"

Maybe in a warehouse covered in dust and paint? <span class="Apple-style-span" ><b>Yep. </b></span>I have the hobo-esque look down to a science. I am drowning in paint and creative psycho-chaos all because I am now working for a children's theater company. <i><span class="Apple-style-span" >M</span>mmm<b>...</b></i> <i>you know when the curtains open and you see that amazing eye candy and because of its beauty you cant help but tear up?</i> .....Yeah I'm the one that made that happen.<i> Maybeeeee</i> in the making of that glorious set I've lost some fingers...<i>maybe</i> I have permanent bags under my eyes, maybe Parkers diet had consisted of fruit loops and fruit by the foot.<span class="Apple-style-span" > (it says fruit which makes me feel lest guilty...)</span> <i>maybe</i> I showered every 4-5 days, <i>maybe</i> I bitched and complained every sec of the way BUT <i>maybe</i> just <i>maybe</i> it was all worth it when the crowd gasps at my amazingness. <i>Maybeeee</i> I dreamt that part up but I love what I do even when I hate doing it. All because I am consumed with magical inspiration everyday. Andddd<i>maybe</i> because Parker brags about having a cool mom with a tool belt to his friends at school. I've heard around that I've been compared to Handy Manny and Bob the Builder. It is most wonderfully, fantastic in a "mad" sorta way.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >O</span>n to Mr. Parker. <i>My robot, my little Wall-e</i>. <b>Real talk</b>, if you want to get to know Parker watch Wall-e. <span class="Apple-style-span" >Parker is Wall-e, Wall-e is Parker.</span> He is basically a non verbal robot that has so much personality and is constantly pulling your heart strings. My Parker isn't so verbal due to his hearing loss but we work everyday. Try hearing yourself repeat things 1000000 times in one day. Listening to my own voice exhausts me so I can only imagine how he feels. A whole lot of Blahhhs come to mind.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Parker can you please go get your shoes?"</i></div><div><b>First attempt</b>... calm, quiet, serene. Like how the "good" moms talk to their kids.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Parker go get your shoes puhhleasee?"</i></div><div><b>Second attempt</b>...

He is trying so hard and learning everyday. But the attitude has to <b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" >go</span></i></b>. Good lord I was the good child, I did what I was told and god punished me by sending me my sister. Atleast her<i> attitude</i>. What did I do in a past life to deserve the cold looks and violent screams? <i>Maybe</i> because I can be just as stubborn as he can?<i>Maybe</i> because I learned to deal with my sister therefore I know all the tricks. Remember kid, I'm the cool mom with the tool belt you brag about. I'm also the mom that lets you throw world war III tantrums in Target without turning red or embarrassed. Bring on the Oscar because my acting skills in public are <i>flawlesssss</i>. Although he deserves a medal of honor for having to deal with my mad cuckoo arse everyday. I am sure I drive him crazier than he could ever drive me. This kid is a hoot. <i>Really</i>. Investing in a deaf child was the best thing that has ever happened to me, I suggest one to everyone I meet. <i>Deafy for life</i>. :)</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><i>All in all we're insane and I wouldn't have it any other way.</i></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><i><br /></i></span></div></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj8YP_Iwd6OFBXtsqm5pnoNp4nZdLp5gB_ZOMEK888zT0U94I7UYzJB2lqjerNe1Iw8V4Xd41o35OqHiU0k0IoUIjCYuNvuWE4vzyYFDuCCHs2R5sn4X1DYaVI8K6CTpJOBYdlRyxtU4g/s1600/67166_467684043143_541713143_5803187_1333335_n.jpg"><img style="display:block;

These thoughts helped create a mess of a life for her. Everyday was a struggle, a struggle just to “be”.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The constant entrapment of her rehearsed ways constructed relentless secrecy.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Hiding the demons that lurked among the mind of this trouble being, was always a fight.

What a sham of a smile she gave to passing strangers. That mask that hid all of her insecurities was as thick as granite. She couldn’t be broken for she already chipped her emotions away. The numbness that engulfed her shell of a body raised the awareness that she was merely just there. At times she thought she felt joy. Never could really tell if the feeling was apart of her daily performance. Act 7 Scene 3? Maybe, or maybe she did "feel" at times. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-family:Perpetua;font-size:16.0pt;">There were many people around her. Some she depended on to keep her ground stable. Like a scale, if one left her side the existence she had worked so hard to keep manageable became unsteady, unknowing. Although she had many who unconditionally cared for her, she had become so callused; I don’t think their love ever reached her. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>To her, she was the only broken one. To her everyone had it so easy. There were no demons taking over her “beauty pageant queen” of a sister’s mind. Not wanting to take that form, that cookie cutter mold of a being. It wasn’t her. So I guess she was taking a risk, to conform and feel safe or be, her. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-family:Perpetua;font-size:16.0pt;">Few were able to bring her walls down; few were able to make her feel secure enough to put that mask away.
