The Holidays

Thanksgiving is coming up. I will actually have it off for the first time in years. I have the day all planned out. Up bright and early at 5 am to start getting the turkey ready. I'll be baking pies all week (I plan on giving some out to co-workers and neighbors). We'll be buying a real tree this year, we will most likely be decorating it on Thanksgiving. We've been stashing money all year for Christmas. I'm super excited, but even more than that, the kids will be super excited. It's been 3 years since we've been able to do Christmas properly, and now we've finally gotten into a position where we can. Along with the Holidays, comes the family stress. I have tried to tell people that I don't care what my family says anymore, but they like to stir the pot. Apparently I am still "lying" about my family. Whatever. Listen, I have nothing to be ashamed of, I have never lied, if my family wanted to keep the skeletons in the closet, they should never

Change is a coming

New quarter of school starts in one week. Yay! A lot of changes have happened in just 6 months time. After being homeless for two years, I got an apartment. My family and I finally have some security. My husband is going to his fifth quarter of school while I am entering my seventh quarter. Work is going good. I am working all over right now. I got a promotion in July, then my store was closed for a complete rebuild. Unfortunately the position I held at my old store was already filled so they made me a book floater. Basically means I go to all the stores and do their books when they need me to. Only 7 more weeks to go until my store reopens. YAY! The kids had their birthdays over the summer. Baby girl got her kittens and Buddy got his video camera. The video camera was such a good deal. I thought my whole budget for his bday was going to go towards his video camera, but actually it only cost me $50 brand new. I walked into the store and walked past the electronics department. I not

I have 6 quarters of school under my belt

... And it feels great! This quarter I am taking two more classes online. As we only have one vehicle it will make things easier for me to get school work done, get the kids to and from school (we have to drive them and pick them up as well) and still go to work full time. My GPA isn't super high, but it's decent, almost a 3.0, I am having issues with my Spanish class, but maybe I should drop it all together and finish my ASL instead? I don't know. We'll see how it goes. I am NOT going after my nursing degree anymore, solely because my heart really isn't in it. I've always been a good writer, and while waiting for required classes to open I took some creative writing classes. I gained a 4.0 and a 3.8 in both and my instructor advised me to switch my major as she could tell I had a love of writing. So, now I am going for my AA in liberal arts as an English Major. I am going to purchase Rosetta Stone for two languages, Spanish and Russian, and get my teaching degr

President Obama, I support you.

I support President Obama. I have my reasons. But I have to open this to Mitt Romney as well. Mitt, America is my country, I was born here, I don't question whether or not my President was born here, but I DO question the person who is running for President what they have to hide when they REFUSE to share more than 2 years of tax returns with the country. Your own father said that two years could be a fluke and that anyone not willing to release at least ten years worth of tax returns has something to hide. George Romney would be ASHAMED to call you his son. And to try and USE your wife's illnesses as a way to gain sympathy is ridiculous. For Shame Romney. By the way, America is NOT a business, we are a country! You are claiming you are going to run this country like a business, you mean like those businesses you closed down and sent good American jobs overseas? Yeah that is NOT what this country needs. We need to tax companies for sending jobs overseas, and companies need

I don't have to stalk people when they give information to my friends

Apparently my older brother who's "gay" and has "AIDS" and is "dying" has posted a blog about me. Awww, how sweet. Apparently I stalk him and don't have a GED or go to school now while working full time, and I'm a liar and deceptive and filled with venom and hate for him. Awww, sorry bro, but whoever reads your blog doesn't know the real you, or the fact that you're a convicted child molester, or the fact that you stole money from your dying mother's bank account because you and dad have the same name and his name was still attached to the account AFTER he died. I bet you thought the money was rightfully yours as you are the "oldest" son of dad's, which is a lie. Why is it a lie? Because dad had three other son's besides you, Jimmy and the twins (with another woman). Or at least this is what I have been told by dad (before he died) and his family and mom too. Go ahead call your dead parents liars, I dare you. I d

Married Life

I can't believe how much married life has changed me. I am so much more aware of my loving husband. He is so much more affectionate. Oh my goodness it has been awesome these last two months. I'm crazy scared that I know I will lose him one day (there is a 21 year age difference) and I just know I will be completely devastated. I just know that I am going to cherish every loving moment I have with him the God is willing to give us. It only took us 14 years to come to this point, I am all for a long term relationship before marriage, it just works out.

Things are looking up!

In less than four days I will be moving my family out of the crummy hotel and into a decent apartment. And in 12 days, I will be marrying the love of my life. So much to do and so little time to do it in. I stopped blogging for a while because my sibs were stalking my blog and telling friends I had known for a long time that I was crazy. I let those go that decided to believe them over me and kept those that knew me better than that. This is my blog, my therapy, my life. Now that they don't have mommy and daddy to take advantage of, they're looking to cause trouble. They have people I was very close to totally snowed. Not my loss, it's theirs. I'm happy now and they're pissed because I've gotten over being their family. They're pissed because I'm standing on my own two feet and I don't need them. My fiance and I are so happy. It's been a long time coming but we're making the right decision for our family. Only three people will be missing fro
