So yeah, let me know what you think of my new kit please oh please :) :)

11/28

The weather has turned cold and we have a winter snow warning for today here. Winter has made it here. Around the corner is Christmas, better get our shopping done.

Orientation went well yesterday, it was a full house in the class room, we'll see how many of them show up for mondays 1st day of class. YIKES monday is 1st day of class. I am scared. After orientation was over I went up to the teacher and did what I was supposed to do and mention the add that I responded to to get my free book. I got the book in hand and I am going to take the rest of this week to crack it open and take a look see at what is inside.

This class is 6 months worth of stuff cramed into 3 weeks. There is a test everyday! That freaked me out when I heard that but, I'll have to just study my butt off. I just pray that Heavenly Father has mercy on me and will help me through this. If I get this job it will be because of him!

We will graduate on the 22nd of the month and from there be hired on asap so no job hunting or anything so that makes it nice. I have to put in 6 months with the nursing home then I can leave if I choose to do so. With this I am making being a CNA a stepping stone to becoming a nurse. I have made my mind up and I am going to become a Ped. Nurse. It will take time and probably a lot of it at that, but that is what I will be doing with my life God willing.

The only really stressful part of this all is that class is at 7 am that means I have to get the kids to Lori's house (private daycare) at 6:30am at the latest. When I talked to her about this about 4 weeks ago I got the impression that it would be fine. Well come to find out that yesterday when reality hit and I reminded her that the kids would be there at the bright and early time of 6:30 AM her face turned white. I HATE this feeling, she said that it will be ok and that we would work something out. She gets up early in the morning to go work out at Curves (6am) I just dont know, she then tells me that makes for a long day for her from 6:30-6:30 but I was thinking well, that's not 12 hrs with my kids so that part of it doesn't bother me it's just that she had to tell me that, It just makes me feel bad.

I LOVE this lady and if she wasnt there for me I'd be screwed in NOT a good way at all! I am so thankful for her and EVERYTHING that she does for me and the kids. The kids LOVE her, and I feel 100% safe leaving my kids with her. I do not want to lose her that is for sure. We can't offer her anymore money, we would if we could.

I WISH I had family closer.

ANYWAYS...I am sure that no one has read this so I'll stop venting/writing/typing now... I am sure I'll blog again soon.

Today

Is orientation for my CNA classes that start on Dec 4th! I am nervious and excited. I am ready to get out of this house and work again. I pray that I can do well in these classes. I am a test freaker-outer (not a word I know) and I don't want to freeze come test time.

We had a good Thanksgiving, we went to Rob's parents house in California. It was nice to get away and nice to come back. The kids had a blast, Emma got to be a real life cowgirl, she was pretty excited about that and hasnt stoped talking about it.

Pictures here

Fun to look at

I went through and counted yesterday and I have completed 213 LO's this year. Here are a few as of recent.

A little funny

A mother took her daughter to the doctor and asked him to give her an examination to determine the cause of her daughter's swollen abdomen. It only took the doctor about 2 seconds to say "Gimmee a break lady! Your daughter is pregnant." The mother turned red with fury and she argued with the doctor that her daughter was a good girl and would never compromise her reputation by having sex with a boy. The doctor faced the window and silently watched the horizon. The mother became enraged an screamed, "Quit looking out the window! Aren't you paying attention to me?" "Yes, of course I am paying attention ma'am. It's just that the last time this happened, a star appeared in the east, and three wise men came. I was hoping they would show up again and help me figure out who got your daughter pregnant."

Here is a little something for you all :)

Hope you like and leave me some love! :)

11/17/06

I am so ready for my CNA classes to start on Dec 4th. I am getting really sick and tired of listening to the kids fight and fight and fight. We are out growing our place and getting a home cannot come soon enough...I hope that day comes sooner than later. These guys need a play area as well as a place to run around. In ways I wish that we would have waited a lot longer to start a family. Why is it that I let my feelings run me at times. I wanted kids before the house and now I wish we would have had the house first.

They now jump off of their dressers onto their matresses that they have taken off of their beds. Very safe yeah! NOT I am getting sick of getting after them for doing that it really drives me insane.

They will be going back to Lori's house while I am in school so that will be a VERY nice thing for them and me. I really cannot wait!

That is my update for now, be back later.

New Christmas Card

Ok, here is the new Christmas Card for 2006 What do ya think?!?!

GRRRR

Sometimes people just frustrate me to no end. We sold a clock raido on e-bay and they paid, I cleaned it up made sure it was perfect, I packaged it VERY nicely, we sent it, they got it, then messaged us and said that they were unhappy with the way it was packaged, it was very dirty, and there were a ton of scratches on top of it and wanted their money back. WHAT THE HECK!!!!!!!!!!

That just pisses me off. My husband being the nice man that he is, has refunded the money and told the moron to keep the stupid raido, as that is the reason we sold it, WE DONT WANT IT. What a jerk!

ON the block list they go!

CNA classes cannot come fast enough, I need to get out of this house and the kids need to get out as well and go back to the sitters house. I am so thankful that we have such an awesome lady to watch Ryan and Emma. I can't wait for them to go back!

Ok, off to design, with any luck i'll come up with something good :)

I came across this Blog today and it touches my life in a deep way.

When I was 3 years old my older brother Mark was diagnosed with Leukimia. I was tested at the young age of 3 to see if my bone marrow would be a match for my brother, and I was a perfect match. In the hospital I went, they took what they needed and gave it to my brother. He recovered from the Leukimia but durning his recovery he came down with pneumonia and passed away from that.

It has been my life long dream to get in and get on the bone marrow doner list and this just gives me the kick in the butt to get in there and get on it!

If you would like to check out the blog please do, if you can donate just even the littlest amount please do!

“Crap Sandwich” written by another mom whos daughterKendrie is fighting ALL also

Imagine every year for Thanksgiving that you and your family go to a wonderful all-you-can-eat buffet. The food is always great and you look forward to getting the same delicious meal, year after year. So this year, you give your standard order to the waitress: an appetizer of “love”, a “caring” salad, the side dishes, “thoughtfulness” “compassion” and “laughter” and a big, juicy entrée of “good health and happiness for everyone”.

The waitress brings you everything you asked for but the entrée. Instead, in front of you on the table, she places a big, fat crap sandwich. And the conversation goes a little something like this:

You: “excuse me, I didn’t order this crap sandwich”

Waitress: “house special. You got it without asking”

You: “but I don’t want a crap sandwich. I want good health and happiness for everyone.”

Waitress: “well, you got a crap sandwich.”

You (getting upset) “well take it back and give me what I asked for instead!”

Waitress points to a sign that says “Absolutely NO substitutions”

You say adamantly: “there is positively no way I am going to be able to choke down this crap sandwich and I think it’s really unfair for you to expect me to”

And the waitress replies “hey, look. You’ve still got love, caring, thoughtfulness, compassion and laughter, so try to appreciate those. Oh, I almost forgot, here’s your condiment tray for the crap sandwich.

You also get big overflowing bowls of fear, worry, anger, guilt and resentment. Bon Appetit!”

And so you’re looking around the restaurant, feeling really grumpy about your crap sandwich, and you realize that there are a lot more people with crap sandwiches than you ever thought possible. And from the looks on their faces, none of them ordered them, either. Then you see a couple of tables with really, really big, Dagwood-sized crap sandwiches and you summon the waitress again.

“Excuse me, why are their crap sandwiches so big?”

And she explains that those people are facing situations even worse than yours. Their kids haven’t responded well to treatment, have had cancer relapses, or worse yet, died. And you start to think maybe your crap sandwich isn’t so bad after all. Maybe you should keep your big mouth shut, choke it down, and be glad when it’s all gone and everyone is well again.

And then, right then, your waitress reminds you of one last thing:

“Management reserves the right to serve you another, bigger crap sandwich, anytime they want”.

That made me Sob and Sob and Sob

Freebie

Here is a cute little freebie for ya!

LO

Here is the LO that I said I was going to make. My honey, My Survivor, My Hero.

Journaling:

In 1995 you were diagnosed with testicular cancer, you were only 25 years old. You underwent the necessary surgery, back to work in a week. You had to go back in though to get the 2nd part of your surgery, where they cut you from sternum to pelvis to make sure that they had removed all of the lymph nodes. It was a very long 8 weeks in the hospital to recover from that but you came out of it because of the fighter that you are. In 1999 you were diagnosed with melanoma on your for arm. Again, you went through the necessary surgery to get it taken care of.

So not only are you a 11 year cancer SURVIVOR but you are also a 7 year cancer SURVIVOR.

You have been through a lot in your life and you are a SURVIVOR.

You are MY SURVIVOR.

Another day.

I went to bed with a headache and I woke up with the same heachache :( I think that part of my headache is coming from the fact that I can't get my FPT to work for me.

I have to go to court again today (last time it was continued) for that moron that almost killed us. Half of me doesn't want to go because I just don't want to, the other half just wants to get it over with. lol

Well, I am off to scrap an awesome page of my hero of a husband. I'll show you when I am all done :)

Uggg.

Today was a total FAT day :( I tryed on like 15 outfits thismorning before I found the one that looked OK enough to wear to church and It's that time of the month so of course my face looks like the pepperoni pizza they have on sale at the local pizza shop. After church I told Rob that he had to sit through a photo shoot so that I could get a picture of us for our Christmas card this year, He looks HOT in them, but since it wasn't 'MY' day I am not sure what I think of myself in it. The only thing that I can keep doing is my workout.

Ok enough of that just had to vent a bit :)

Here is the Christmas Card for 2006 let me know what ya think! :)
