Beating a Dead Horse? How do you know

Wow, cool stuff happens all at once doesn't it? I finally got an iPhone! Did I NEED it, no. Did I have some extra cash so it didn't come out of the budget, yes! I feel that I make a lot of sacrifices (to not much avail) and occasionally I want to do something nice for myself. But then, right after I got it, I found out Tori Amos was coming to KC right before my birthday, so I guess I'll be doing something else for myself!
I'm not sure I'm living the life I was meant to. Do you ever have that feeling? I always seem to make the wrong decisions, so I'm trying to stick with certain decisions that I've made hoping that they'll turn out for the best, because I know my luck, as soon as I make that decision to do something different, it will be worse. Maybe I need a life coach!! Right. I wonder what kind of life they actually have that makes them so wise as to tell others how to live. Was there really a major for that and if so, why don't they condense it down to just one course and require all students to take it, like with stupid PE? I will never understand why PE is required in COLLEGE! But then again, I'll never understand a lot of mandatory things we have in the US.
The iPhone is awesome, I'm listening to Tori's new album on her MySpace, as it isn't available until Tuesday.
Other good things: my kid is rocking at baseball. I'm counting the money I spend for him to play as an investment so he can take care of his wonderful mother in her old age. Right now he doesn't think that is such a hot plan. After all, I already work two jobs, I can surely take care of myself, right? Oh to have an 8 year old's logic again. At least he has been an angel at school the last few months. People who are against medicating children: find the right mix. You can give your child a medication that won't turn them into a zombie, but does dial down the impulsiveness so that they can actually learn at school! Then the idiots running the public school won't just send them off to the 'bad kids' school so they can learn some REALLY bad habits from actual juvenile delinquents!
Rambling seems to be a process of mine. I could now ramble on to more boring and obnoxious topics, but I think I should probably start getting ready to go to my sister - in - law's graduation party. Whoo, teenages galore...fun.
