Happy Halloween

Thanks Jennifer for the added comment to myspace. It is very nice.

Happy Halloween to everyone. I'm excited because it's a short day for me, no class tonight and I get to hand out candy to my awesome neighborhood kids! We are going to OCB for dinner tonight.

Glad Jen is feeling better. Crap is going around for sure.

Aileeen went home sick, Jeremy is no longer with us, and Karen is back from NY all in the same day! Trippy I tell you~

I'm ready to relax and enjoy the evening.

Finals

Most excellent on finals, yeah me! Now we begin Medware today in lab. I'm kind of excited about it, it's very similar to SAS. I hope I catch on quickly. Tomorrow no class because it's Halloween and I get to pass out candy and stay home to relax at that. Then back to the grind!

Hope Jen is getting better!

It's Scary to Know...

That you get out of it what you put into it. I should be putting more effort into it, but I'm so tired! Tonight is final for mod. Open book thank goodness.

I'm ready for the weekend. No work! Excpet home work.

Another Friday has gone by~

I'm glad for the end of this week. It's been pretty busy and I like that. School was short, Monday night took my test and went home at regular time. Tuesday and Wednesday they were in the lab and I don't like to be in there, and don't have to. So, I went home. Last night was awesome though. I learned a lot and stayed until the end of class. The bad thing was that I was within steps of missing the max. So, I stood there from quarter to 10 until 10:07p. That sucked, it was windy out and cold and then there are the weirdos that are out that late at night anyway. I'm glad I've taken this class though. I think I will do very well in the end. Goal is to pass that test when I'm all done.

Glad Will is back, I missed you. Glad Jen is doing better, proof that prayer works! I will continue to pray for you both and put your names in the bulletin. I don't know what Will's last name is so that was a bit more tricky. I know in my heart when I pray that God knows who I'm praying for though.

Teresa went home early today. We both work tomorrow together. I am leaving my home work here to do tomorrow. We have 7 appointments for tomorrow, hopefully they all show up. If they don't then I will just do my work. No biggie.

After work, I have to get Taty and get her off to a Bratz party. She will have fun with that for sure.

Karen is gone on Tuesday for NY! 10 whole days there. I asked for a magnet for my collection.

Michelle Gentry made it go Taiwan safely. She said she hates it already but it's only been one day! She said it's hot there and she likes that. I'm sure after she goes shopping, she'll be ok. She said she probably won't stay the whole 2 months there.

My mom pulled a groin muscle last Friday at Women's Minestries thing. She is hurting but will live, and is going to watch Taty for me tomorrow while I work.

I pulled a muscle in my arm today when picking up my school bag. It hurts now, but I'm sure I will live through it. My bag weighs a ton!

Friday the End

It's finally the end. Everyone is gone but Laurel and I. Sharon and Michelle as well. I could have gone early but I let Melanie go because she has been sick and if I were sick and could go home early, I would want to. She was very happy I let her. Because my attendance is much better than hers, I got first crack at it. But, come next week when class resumes, I will be glad she will be covering me when I'm tired.

Was supposed to go to a party with Johnny Tatyana's boyfriend. Didn't happen. Rosie got too busy and so it's not on. Then we were going to go bowling tonight and they were going to pick me up so we could go right away and get a lane. I'm too tired for all that. I really wanted to stay home for dinner. I'm tired of eating out. I just want to relax in my home when the day is over. He ended up not working today they over booked. He got paid for 4 hours and sent home. So we all had breakfast this morning together and they took me to work. It was very nice. Taty has been such a good girl for us this last week with getting up and ready and in a pleasant way. Not grumpy, hitting, kicking crying or screaming. She is growing up for sure. Very nice young lady too I might add. My aunt is going to watch her tomorrow morning for me while my cousin and I go for the walk at the golf course. It's been 2 weeks and I want to do 4 miles rather than 2. I'm out of shape and getting lazy. It's always easier to rest and do nothing than it is to put forth the effort no matter what it may be. I still have a shit load of home work to get done. I confirmed next Saturday's Bratz party for Tatyana. It begins at 2:00 at her girlfriend's house. That will be nice, a small break there.

Seems a lot of people have been having writers block. I think I have too much to say sometimes. I will figure that one out later.

Tomorrow is Karen's birthday and then on the 24th she leaves for New York for 2 weeks. That will be weird having her and Dotty gone. Well, Dotty is already gone but for 2 weeks is what I mean. I hear Dotty is doing well in Admission's at Apollo or Pioneer, can't remember which one it is. The one where Siriena and Jennifer are at anyway! I hope she is blending with you guys well over there.

I finally figured out Melissa's Otter. What a trippy looking little guy he is, but agreeing with Melissa, he is Very cute! I just love her pictures of her. She has beautiful teeth, hair and smile that never quits!

Kelly sent me an invitation to myspace, and I gladly accepted. Thanks Kelly! I feel wanted now :)

I got to feel Christina's baby kick last weekend. It was awesome! It was all I expected and more. She seems very happy and I am glad for that. I couldn't live with all the birds she does though. That would drive me insane. They are too noisy, I like quiet, peace and quiet. I will miss you guys this year for Halloween though. She really wants to come to the party with you too. But we have already made plans, so maybe next year.

I miss reading about Will's life. I hope things are going better. I have prayed every day for Jen and Will both that they both know that God is with them no matter what. I also pray he guide you both through what ever is going through your heart at the time. He is always with you both, that is comforting to know but some times not enough. But I do think of you both every day.

Friday the 13th

According to my horoscope, I am going to have a fabulous day, and so far I am. Had a dispute at the breakfast table. Taty was covering her ears, so we stopped. He seems to think that any woman would want to trade me and what I have and what he gives me. Including no sexual anything for over a year. Most women would kill for that, did you all know that? I didn't know that. Amazing, isn't he? I agree I have it pretty good, but was reminded not to let the door hit me in the ass on the way out if life was so hard with him.

So, it's orientation day and I'm lovin' life!

My Buddy Jen

God be with you as you go through this troubled time right now internally. We are praying for you on the West Coast and know you will pull through this. Even though it hurts, find the good in it and move on. It is one of life's many lessons, live, learn, love. I sure make it sound easy, but sometimes, things are just that simple. Don't keep beating yourself up! We love you and always remember that!

No class this week. Yippie! But, Monday, class begins again! I will be tired all over again. Aileen tells me on 30 some odd weeks left. That is comforting. I am glad for that, it's the bigger picture. The end is drawing nearer every week. I will get through this, I will survive. I can tell you that is wonderful spending time with my family though. Taty has been doing so much better in the mornings, her attitude in general, what a wonderful plus! She's been doing better in school and everything. I haven't been walking at night like I used to because by the time I'm home, it's almost dark. I want to walk 4 miles this weekend, but mom has her faith thing on Friday and Saturday so I have to keep Taty with me. I have still a lot of home work to get done. If there is work next Saturday I'll be here, but then on a good note, I can do my home work.

So

I get to work on Saturday. Yippie~ They have been beating and pounding on the roof for over two straight weeks now and it is so annoying. I wish they would finish but it gets funner. They will be here Saturday with us, doing the "heavy" pounding. As if what we have all experienced wasn't heavy enough. I get a week off from school and I will be getting all caught up and perhaps ahead if at all possible. I got my results back from the first test and the one I was worried about the most I did very well on. The other 3 not so hot on because I didn't use open book. It was allowed but I didn't use it. Won't do that again I can tell you!

I'm tired and have one more night of class and then a break, kind of. I need to get caught up and as I said ahead of the game so I can keep a hold of it and not lose control. There is like 20 hours of home work a week, shit you not! I still have to do timings both 10-key and typing which irritates me. I'd rather be learning things I don't know. That's part of the class and everyone has to do it. Tonight is lecture night.

Just had a protest walk by of all women. Sounded weird. Cops took them away. Now it was quiet, except sounds like they are jackhammering the ceiling. Vibrates everything. Normally I would enjoy that, but after two weeks it is getting harder to find humor in it. As Melissa can relate, and Kelly and Jennifer, oh and Sireina, the fucking temperature in this building sucks! It's either too hot or too cold! Why not just 74, the comfortable medium? So, you either pit out or freeze your toosh off! The guys have tracked major shit all over the carpet from being on the roof and it isn't over with yet~ I hope it doesn't stain and not come out, that would suck. Meanwhile, won't do any good cleaning it until they are finished and God only knows how long that will take. This is a different crew this week. There are 8 of them this week and several of them are Hot! Nice muscles, tans and bodies to say the least!

Saturday at 5:00 is Johnny's birthday party at Papa's Pizza. My cousin Bruce bought me a Target gift card for my birthday. TJ will be meeting us at Papa's at 5:00 or shortly there after. Have to go after work and get Johnny a present. Christina was going to stop by after work on Saturday and perhaps take Tatyana for the night, but we have to go to the party. After church on Sunday she has rehearsal for the December play. I think it is every Sunday until December.

Did I mention I'm tired?? Eye ball tooth picks needed. I remember back in the day in High Times magazine they had speed for sale. But in the state of Oregon, they won't send it in the mail.

I'm here!

Sorry guys. I've been busy with school, work, home life, fighting with my husband, my daughter has been in trouble at school. Then, there was the weekend, we marched in the Teddy Bear Parade in downtown Gresham, one mile. Then, she had a birthday party to attend at which time I spent cleaning the house, sweeping the long pine needles out of the walk way, and then back to get her. Sunday, was church, then after church I did laundry, went out to my girlfriend's house in Damascus because it was her birthday and she was spending it alone. Also to color my hair while Tatyana was at church in the rehearsal for the play/musical that will be performed live in service on December 16th! After picking her up at 3:00, we came home, watched football, took a nap, got up and went to Olive Garden for dinner. Then, went home and I took Tatyana with me to Tempie and Blaine's house where her 1st boyfriend lives (johnny) and they presented me with my second birthday present which were 80 bottles of chocolate with alcohol inside! I talked with them more about the tumors they have found in his jaw, throat, esophogus and perhaps in his sinuses as well. He is very scared and I let them know I put them on the prayer list at church, while I was IN attendance on Sunday. I didn't get any home work done and had to cram for my first test Monday night. I was feeling under the weather with all the hours put in here and took the test and went home. I was in bed by 7:20 last night. Finished watching Monday night football or listening to it and was out. I had slept crooked on Friday and my neck has been very sore from it. It is better now. I visited with my Aunt who is finally out of the hospital on Thursday night after class and that is what began the whole fued with my husband. Then, Tatyana discovers due to TJ asking her if she was upset with me or missing me why she put her hands physically on another class mate and burst out into tears saying, yes, that is why. I started my period which then of course, he dismissed "well, so much for the viagra I took today for tonight". Go figure! He was going to move out again, and I said ok. Then, he asked if we were going to separate. I said I don't care if you stay or go. But I do think this will not be such a good time to do it because of school, work, expense of paying two sets of bills and child care for Tatyana. So, we put checking out houses and loans on hold and have quit trying. When we went to Ross to get ME an outfit, I couldn't find anything that would fit or I liked and we ended up getting Tatyana Fubu pants and a cute shirt instead. He actually didn't Have anything for me this year. I had to purchase a new outfit on Thursday because my lowest button burst and I couldn't repair it. So, to keep him from yelling, I told him it would be my birthday present I suppose. He said we Would continue to find something for me, that there would be more for my birthday. My favorite waitress got me from Hawaii a bag of Donkey Balls, chocolate moth balls basically but they were for me! We stopped at Head East and got 2 large boxes of Nitrux oxide and I enjoyed those! It has to have been the worst birthday of my life, and I hope the last. But, I have lived to be 38! Woo Hoo!

I have missed you Jen and I loved reading your blog once I got back and caught up with everything. School is Monday through Thursday from 5:00 p to 9:30 and then I leave the school downtown to go to the Max and take a 40 minute trip home where TJ picks me up. It is tiring and home work up the wazoo!

Last week on Wednesday night waiting to pick me up from in front of the school, TJ got a ticket from Trimet because he was in a bus zone. That was $60. Three weekends ago now I got a photo radar ticket for $145. I went to the court house today to check it out with Teresa, and stood in line for 10 minutes and one person moved. 4 more in front of me. So, we left to come back to work. I still need to let them know if I will be going to appear for court or if they will lessen the fine and I'll just pay it.

Life, or something like it. What a trip! This is my second week in class, I am dying to know how I did on my test. First part of 4 was closed book, but I didn't use my books, I should know it, so my theory is sink or swim. I hope I'm afloat! Prayers will be accepted Greatly for strength, guidance, understanding of knowledge and learning. Also for my marriage and that whole situation! Thanks guys! You are the best!
