I am alive

My computer is broken. I will get it fixed I am just to busy right now with finals coming up and I worked 46 hours last week.

I have not been able to keep up with my blog reading or posting. I feel so disconnected with the world.

I will one day have time to sit down and blog about my Thanksgiving and my 13 hour after Thanksgiving day shopping!

Hope you had a good Holiday.

Staying awake

For some reason my boss thinks that I should work, and has scheduled me LOTS the next few weeks. I need the money with Christmas and my spending habits lately. Finals are quickly approaching and I need to study and just get my head out of the pillow...AKA..stop sleeping all the time.

I'm in the process of training myself to not sleep all the time and just sleep at night. I try to go to bed at a decent time and then get up and NO NAPS. I think this is one of the hardest things I have EVER done.

When I go to bed I am so sleepy but when I lay down I am wide awake I have not slept good the last 2 nights. Today I worked from 7-4 and I tried hard not to take a nap when I got home but I did take a small one about an hour on the couch (my normal naps are 4 hours).

Hopefully my body gets out of the night owl stage and starts sleeping at night and not during the day.

My boss has me scheduled for 42 hours the week of finals.......I don't think that is going to work.

Digging in the archive

I had to dig WAY back in my old myspace blogs so you could totally understand.


OLD POST: starts here.........

A stolen froot loop bowl

Let me take you back in time to when I lived with my mother and we went to Brookshire's for some grub! They had some cereal on sale and you had to buy a certain kind and you could get a free bowl!

It was the bowl of all cereal bowls. It was perfect! It would hold just the right amount and was easy to eat from, and it had toucan sam on it and said froot loops. It quickly became my favorite bowl. I'm pretty sure I yelled at Madalyn for using it before.

I didn't want the cereal I just wanted the bowl and the manager said I had to buy the cereal but the girl let me just get the bowl. It was great.

WELL.........I went to make me a bowl of cereal and GUESS WHAT...My bowl is GONE! Someone has stolen it!!!!!! it is not in the cabinet, dishwasher or sink. When i find it I'm going to press charges on the thief.

I think it is incredibly rude to come to some ones house and take their dishes away! I'm about to go insane! you will read of me in the paper later. "Local girl goes postal over dishes"
Ever heard "that's the straw that broke the camels back" well I think my back is full of straws, please no more.

UPDATE: THE BOWL WAS FOUND AND THE GUILTY PARTY WAS GIVEN A STERN TALKING TO! Moral of the story don't steal my stuff!




NEW POST: starts here....



Here is a picture of the famous froot loop bowl. That I LOVE!



Tonight I was at Brookshires and guess what. They have the bowls again!

The manager was walking by when I saw them and I asked him if I had to buy the cereal or if I could just by the bowl. He said "Well your suppose to buy 4 boxes of cereal and get a bowl free, but if you just want the bowl you can have it for .25. Yup that's right he said that I could get the bowls for a QUARTER. I grabbed 5 and am super super excited!
Here are all 5 of my new ones. Ignore the dirty wall behind my picture. I live in a house with a two year old, it happens. ha!

Today I found it. Tomorrow I will wear it.

Extra sleep, read all about it.

Flu Pictures, Images and Photos

I am sick. I have a head cold. I am a person who does not deal well with being sick. A headache is the equivalent to a brain tumor. An upset stomach is more like Rotavirus, and the common head cold is like the flu. I just don't deal well with being sick. I have been ill since Thursday when my throat started itching. I usually have an attack of allergies and take some Claritan and feel better. This time it didn't work. I called in sick to work on Friday, skipped a Wedding on Saturday and tomorrow is Sunday I will most likely not go to work tomorrow either cause I'm not feeling 100% better. Most people still function with head colds not me. I have my vaporizer and Kleenex by the bed. I take meds to help me sleep. and I sleep all day all night. Usually I am better after 1 or 2 days off but since it is the weekend I'm taking extra so I can be all better for school next week.

I probably should not have cleaned the bathroom today because it reminded me of when I did, diagnosed by a doctor, have the flu. I would think I was all better and get up to do something and then be completely worn out and start shaking and feel like I was going to pass out. That is what happened today so I laid in the bed and slept for 4 hours.

What can I say I want to be a kid forever. I want someone to watch over me when I'm ill. I know that when the day comes and I'm a Mom my sick days will end. I will have to suck it up and deal with it but for now I will sleep my colds away.

The end is near.

For this semester anyway. The end always gets hectic cause all the stuff I have put off is coming due. Just for my sanity here is a run-down of classes this semester and what is left.

-Cognitive Psychology
1 more test! What is not so great about this is my grades thus far have not been that great. This test will require extra study time
-Psy 232 (the sex class)
A paper due over a fetish for lab
2 more test since I have skipped quite a few classes. This may require extra study, but not much.
-Economics
Lots of homework I do not understand. I have tried to complete and my computer gives me ERROR messages.
1 maybe 2 more test. My teacher is pretty fair on grading I should do ok.
-MIS
I'm proud to say I have skipped ahead since this is an Internet class and completed all quizzes and homework that is left. I have a Paper due next Sunday and a midterm test early December. Hopefully I can finish that silly paper tomorrow.
-Bowling
I still need to bowl 2 more times for my total of 15 games. I plan to go tomorrow and on Monday since the last day to bowl is on Wednesday. The following week I will have a final test over bowling terms????

That is it. That seems like so much less than what I have stressing me out in my head.

What else do I need to do before the end of this semester.
-Get cleared for MGT 307 so I can finish registration.
-Find out what to do about the one class not being offered that keeps me from graduating in May.
-Find out why PJC has changed their mind and now wants 2 more transcripts.
-Christmas shop
-Pack for North Carolina - since I leave 3 days after the semester ends!
-Continue to loose weight. Yup I'm at a 12 pound loss right now!
-Kick this diet soda habit and get back to pure crisp clean water.

Let the record show

Today I cleaned the bathroom, I scrubbed the toilet, tub, sink. I picked up dirty clothes that did not belong to me. I threw away empty soap containers that were not mine. I mopped the floors. I almost passed out from still being sick and mixing fumes.

I cut up veggies for my salad, I baked a cake....and washed every dish that I used. Put up every thing I used, threw my trash away. I even washed dishes that I did not use in my food prep.

I just want everyone to know that way when someone gets mad because there is a mess.....It was not me that made the mess.

I pick up after myself! I can't help if no one else does. I refuse to clean up after people who don't.

Also let it be known that I bought the Turkey breast lunch meat for ME! If you would like a sandwich I suggest you buy some groceries.

Oh and I started a load of laundry that did not belong to me either.

Happy Halloween.......A few days later

I worked on Halloween, I sweet talked the Pharmacist to letting me leave 30 minutes early and I drove to Sisters to take the kids trick or treating which is something I look forward to every year. Alex was to old this year, but I did get to drop him off at a lock-in. In his place I took Gabriela's friend "Speedy" her real name is Elizabeth.

Speedy and Gaby dressed like........rappers, heart breakers, something I'm not. They always said something different when you asked what they were.

The wicked witch and Toto.


We stopped off at the church to see Grandma, but we were to late for the games, picked up Speedy, dropped off Alex and got down to business. We walked several streets, then hit houses we knew. Grandma, my friend Jennifer and Matt and Robin. Then went home. The girls put all the candy together and my oh my did we get some good loot.
I went back over to Jennifer's were she was having several friends over. I nearly peed my pants. I can not remember the last time I laughed that hard.
We woke up early on Saturday and went Canton, First Monday. We were there for 3 hours which was plenty we had to leave at noon cause Aleigh had cheer at 1. We took Winston with us and he and Aleigh fell asleep on the way home. I went home and took a 5 hour nap, showered and Aleigh and I went to dinner with mom then had a slumber party at her house. We went to church then made mom lunch then to cheer again, then I came home.
Dipping Dots at Canton. The kids asked for these before the station was even open.
Very sleepy, Winston in his new shirt the girls picked out for him.
It was a busy but fun weekend. I miss my family so much.
