Just My Two Sense

A couple weeks ago, my biological sister wrote about finding a hickie on her 16 year old's neck. She was panicking about what she should do. should she have "the talk" with her, should she get her started on birth control, or should she ignore it. I was completely honest in my opinion and told her is she hadn't had the talk with her yet, she'd better get it done, and that yes she should have her on birth control, especially since she posts some curious thoughts on her facebook page. Well, apparently she didn't like the blunt honesty I gave her, or she doesn't care enough about her daughter to protect her (which she should have been doing all along anyways) either way, she never posted the comment, she removed me from her facebook page, had her daughter un-friend me, and then proceeded to write a snide comment about me on her next blog. The following is a direct quote: "this is my place a place where i feel safe and yet there are those who care just e...

My fiancé decided that trucking was not his idea of a good career for a man with a family. They were never going to let him come home, and if he complained he would get fired like others before him had. So he jumped ship. Leaves us in a bind, but, there are many other things we can do. For instance, I can apply for assistance for the time being while we're both looking for work. I am also re-enrolling in beauty school for August. I really want to finish school and I plan on doing it in the next year. He's going to apply and has been calling temp agencies our roommate told him about. These agencies pay fairly well and would earn him more weekly than truck driving actually would. And while he works for the temp agencies, he's going to keep track of the local transit agencies and job openings with one of them. I might spend my free time at the park with the kids selling sodas and waters and homemade cookies for some extra cash. Hey if the tamale ladies can do it, so can I. Tha...

I had to leave school this month. I had to leave my home in Vegas. I moved my family to California. I am staying with my HM (heart mother aka the woman who should have always been my mom). I am engaged (finally). I am happy, but most of all my family is happy. I've had a hard time with finding reliable paying jobs in Vegas as was my fiancé. We looked and looked, and everything that came along just either didn't pay, or didn't pay well. We were two months behind in our rent, and fast running out of food to feed our children. I did what I had to do. I sold anything of real value, packed a few of our meager belongings, and we moved to where there was a job for my fiancé. California. We are currently staying with my mom (temporarily) and within in three days my fiancé found a job. A real one, not something commission based, he's training to be a trucker. He will be gone for weeks at a time, which will be hard on the kids and me, but it will make him close to 1500 a week, w...

I have applied to many restaurants out here, and other places as well, but I get no call backs for interviews or an email stating I'm not qualified enough. I have plenty of experience in different types of jobs but, it doesn't seem to be enough. I'm not the only one out of work, and I'm not the only one getting no response from the places that claim to be hiring either. But when I see an ad for a bartender who needs to send in a head shot, or server who needs to send a full body shot, that's discrimination. I realize Nevada is a right to work state, but it is also and equal opportunity state as well... or so they say. Here are a few links to the craigslist ads people are posting about their experiences looking for work: http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/fbh/1628778138.html http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/fbh/1629136186.html http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/fbh/1629324213.html http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/fbh/1627288890.html http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/fbh/1627723590....

Ok so on Thursday I went to talk to the dean, and he turned me away, but told me he was on it. We're in class 15 minutes and told to go on break early. Ok, so me and my friends get on the elevator and Javie tells seven other students to get on cause he didn't want to make them wait for the elevator. So in total there were 11 of us on the elevator and the elevator decided it wasn't going anywhere, and it wasn't going to let us of either. We were stuck on the damn thing for 30 minutes! I blame Javie for it. LOL. When we were rescued we were informed that the trouble makers were no longer in our class. I so hope that this resolves any further issues. Gotta go get ready for school now.

So, I go to class today hoping for things to be different. Nope, not at all. First of all we're supposed to be reading the second part in chapter 8 cause our teacher is in a meeting. Those girls couldn't shut their yaps so I couldn't concentrate. I had to put on my headphones and still was only able to read the first couple of pages. When our teacher was there, they started off on how they were having trouble reading the second part cause they never read the first (which we tried to do on Monday and yesterday but they kept interrupting). Another girl spoke up about it and said that we all need to wear our big girl pants (meaning we all need to act like the adults that we're supposed to be), and Big-Mouth had to act out like she doesn't get it and starts talking crap about the other girl. OMG what, are we still in f-ing high school. They continued to harrass her and her friend as well me and another student and our teacher. They were totally disrespectful, didn't...

Today we were supposed to learn all about a uniformed layer (aka 90 degree angle) cut. Our teacher was trying to show us but the same people were all, "That's too hard, I don't get it." I wanted to say, "You know what? If you shut your GD mouths for more than 30 sec at a time, you might actually hear what the teacher is trying to teach us." Did I... uh-uh, no way man, NOT my job. So after break we came back to try and get it done but since NO ONE in class was able to pay attention because of a few kids who can't shut their yaps (I personally tune everything out when they start talking cause it's all stupid to me), none of us really got the concept. So what happened? The teacher went off on the class as a whole. Ok... I didn't appreciate it being turned on me ( I sit in the front row so I can actually learn something) but I did like the fact that she got the point across to Miss That's-too-hard. Maybe now she'll listen and actually do some...
