| | Seems as if no matter how hard I try not to hurt those around me I do. I say to much or not enough I don't warn when I should and I open my mouth when I should just shut up and leave it be. Well I am not one for drama at least I try not to be. For the most part I don't have it in my life and I like it that way. So to anyone who cares to read this if I have hurt you in the last year I am sorry. If I tried to tell you things that were hard to hear because I thought you should know and that only hurt you I am sorry. If I didn't warn you when I should have I am sorry. If you have no clue what this is about then great if not I think I have everyone covered. Oh if you are some of the people I may have actually helped by being honest and telling the truth as I knew it. Your Welcome. | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
| E2: The Everything Test 2 There are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests, purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all. Traditionally, online tests would ask certain questions about your musical tastes or clothing for a stereotype, your experiences for a purity test, or deep questions for a personality test.We're turning that upside down - all the questions affect all the results, and we've got some innovative results too! Version 2 is leaner, meaner, and features a more mature and varied set of questions than the previous test. Enjoy! | Character Traits | | Analytical | 20% | | Artistic | 9% | | Driven | 40% | | Emotional | 50% | | Horny | 86% | | Independent | 50% | | Musical | 39% | | Optimistic | 0% | | Outgoing | 0% | | Political | 89% | | Religious | 82% | | Romantic | 50% | | Social | 0% | | | | Life Experience | | Criminality | 71% | | Intellectual | 88% | | Relationships | 53% | | Sexuality | 77% | | Travel | 24% | | Politics
Your political views would best be described as Liberal, while philosophically you tend to think like a Conservative. | | Socioeconomic
Your attitude toward life best associates you with Upper Middle Class. You make more than 77% of those who have taken this test, and 19% less than the U.S. average.
| | You tend to think more like an artist than an engineer. | | Location-wise, you would probably be a good fit for the Suburbs.

| Ok everyone this is so that everyone finds out at the same time or at least I don't get blammed for telling one person before someone elts.
Are you ready? Really ready? here goes
I am proud to anounce that John and I are expecting a baby this Febuary 7, 2007!
Ok so Dennis and Jason I will need lots of love and hugs because I have not told Bud and Mo yet. I don't want to be the talk of Amandas wedding and take her thunder away on her big day at the end of this month. Beside I am only 6 weeks so I have time still before I should be telling them.
I just wnated you guys to know and did I mention I need hugs. I am stressing about getting the house in order before I go back to work 7-10-06 days M-F at Comcast here in ann arbor like five mineuts away.
Oh yah I am doing IT work for them how crazy is that? Hey even worse Johns the one who tought me enough to pass there test and now I am going to make more than him. hehehe I just have to laugh about that. But I will have five weeks of training so I should be good to go after that. | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
| AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Ok Now I feel a little better. I don't know how much more of the oh I promis next time I will listen to you because you seem to have this figured out better than me shit I can take. He promised me that last time and the time befor that and the time before that.
For all of you who don't know John he is taking a night class tht meets t,w,th, for 10 weeks. He lost his finacial aid last semseter becasue even thought I told him he was signing up for too many classes (3) pluss a full time job he did so anyway and then ended up droping one and that left him with not enough credits for the finacial aid people to be happy with which he knew would be a problem if he droped instead of just waiting to take it at another time.
Well now he is in danger of loosing his job. I want to see John graduate and I know he can do it but he has gotten to the point where he hates his job and I think he is going to let himself get fired and be like oh I didn't see this comming. In the last two weeks he has missed work twice becasue he overslept his alarm or went back to bed. I think its not only the class but the fact that even at 10 pm last night when I was trying to get him to get off the computer he still needed more time to game. Hes not even doing homework hes just gaming. Ahhh!
He has to get up at 3:30a.m. and he stays up half the night of course he is going to oversleep and be late. He is also in DWAP which is there writen up process becasue of how many times he has been late. If he is late one more time then he has to make it 9 months and then the next time he is late its 12 months without being late, Well lets just say I hope he can keep his job long enough for me to start mine. Then he will probably quit or get fired or something but by then I can at least handel the bills. Its not as if he would even be able to make money babysitting since everyone does not think he handels our kids very well and they don't want him watching theres for any extended period of time.
I just wish that all of his promises of hey you seem to actually know what I can handel and can't so I promis I will listen to you next time were true instead he shoud just tell the truth and say hey I want to fuck us finacially and don't give a crap I just barrow money from my mom. well I am sure that that will not last for ever and I don't want to be fiancialy dependent on anyone let alone his mom. We are grown ups I just wish the stupid hours of gaming were gone and he would act like it.
If anyone out there has any ideas that might help please send them my way. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| I finally finished my last exam! I graduate this weekend! I have waited a long ass time for this. To everone who said I wouldn't do it please come and Kiss my Ass! To everyone who said my life was over becasue I have kids get in line. To everone who has not been suportive of my goals and helped me get here get in line to.
Ok now everone elts Thank you for everything that you have done to help me get this. I know I did the work but there were a lot of people who believed in me and help me get here. I have to thank my wonderful husband for suportting me being in school and allowing me to take so much time to concintrate on my studies. My beautiful kids who have allowed me to take time away from them so I could get this degree. To Hillarty, Em, and Amanda who helped with the kids so I could go to my classes. Jason and Dennis thank you for believing in me even when I didin't believe in myself and for pushing me to do what needed to be done. Thank you all!
I will have John take lots of pics for everyone and have a party latter this summer I hope.
I love you all have a great weekend and Happy Mothers Day to all whom it applies. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Feel a little better. I have been looking for a job now for just a little under a year and besides Target which lasted about a second and a half I have gotten no where. I can not handel this I will finally finish school and graduate from Northwood this May with my BBA but I still don't have a job. I can not tell you how upsetting it has been getting offers that I can not except becasue I would have to move. I cann't move becasue I share custody of my daughter with my ex and moving would mean giving her to him full time. I could not handel not seeing my kids.
How do I get a good start with a company and make a living and help support us. John... oh god I love him but sometimes I know he is trying to make things better and help; I love being home with the kids and going into help with Serena's school, field trips, bible school, dance, horseback ridding lessons, Connors play dates, and Educational classes. And yes I do go to school two nights a week for three more weeks.
But I need something for ME. Is that so bad? I know he thinks that telling me to stay with the kids and not worry myself about getting a job right now is his way of making it easier. But then that means that family vacations we want to do and diffrent things we would like to do this summer have to get cut out. I need a vacation just like the rest of us and I don't want money to be so tight all the time. I just want a chance to prove how good I am and start my career.
I love being home with the kids but I am no Dona Reed anyone who has ever been to my house knows that I am not the best at having it always clean. I keep it picked up but don't try and eat off my floors you might get some of Connor snack from earlier. Hes one its the age I know but still it feels like I am loosing a battel that no matter how hard I try I can not win. Yet I know that there are those people who do win this battel. It does not help that we live in the block that time forgot. All of my neibors are stay at home moms who love it and I seem to be the odd one out. Sometimes I feel like in the movie "The Hours" the middle lady who can not seem to bake a cake and get it to come out good. Her neibor comes over and makes fun of her becasue who can not get a cake to come out good? Well me thats who and my house is a mess sometimes ok most of the time and no don't open any doors that are closed they are closed for a reason.
I need to go to sleep I have a doctos apointment in the morrning and I need to get to sleep I just have not been able to do much of anything tonight. Oh I am so mad about my insurance too I just got a bill for my blood wook for $130. thats after they paid there stuff holy shit I can not afford that and they will want to do more tomarrow. Thats another rant for another day I guess. | | comments: Leave a comment |

| Hello all
I know its been forever since I was on. Everything is going great for us. Connor is a joy! I was able to finally win a four year custody battel with my ex-husbend and have Serena for the school year. She is doing wonderful here in Ann Arbor. I think its working out for the best that she will grow up with her little brother and have the stablity that we provide her.
Things that are happening with us. Yes we did get married last month. Wookie has just been hired by Tech Team and is still working at Fords. He has the same job just more money and stability because its not through the temp agency any more. He is also at WCC this semester look for him durring the day if you go M-Thur he is there. I am hopping to reach directorship in Mary Kay by NOvember 30. It is so amazing that it has provided so many oppertunitys for us. I can not say how important being able to be with the kids and work has been. Not to mention the money:)evil smile. Anyway may next post wont be to long comming I hope.
OH Jason and I won the charrity chill cook off over the holiday weekend at the lake. And over the hole weekend they raised over $3,000.00 to go to Katrina

| Hello Everyone
I am doing good. I am old today is my birthday and it has rained all F'ing day so far. I fought this morning with Wookie and he was trying to do nice stuff it all just kind of fell through. I was still a Bitch about it though. I guess I just wanted it to go the way I wanted it to and when it didn't I got crabby. I think the contrations for the past two days didn't help. I have been preaty good about staying home and not doing anything I am not suposta be doing. Of course because of that my house is trashed and I know that he is trying to help. I just get crazy about stupid shit sometimes and you would think after two years he would get it but no he doesn't. I need to go to the Secretary of State and get a new licence and tabs but I think I will just pay the late fees and do it another day. I don't wnat to drag me and Serena out in this again. It is so nasty and I am just starting to warm up from going to the bank earlier.
Oh by the way I hate the people at the bank. I just wanted to go to my bank and deposit three checks sounds easy right? wrong! First check was drawn from there own bank and the lady was like I can't find record of this account. Even after I told her look they have like five accounts here they are not all there SS# you dumb whore. Then John had a check he signed over because I didn't want to have to run to the other bank too. I tried to deposit that and was told it would take 10 days of hold because it was out of state. Then I pointed out to her that it was not an out of state check it was from Jackson, MIchigan. When did that become out of state? I don't know but aparently she thought it was. So I decided not to give her that check and just take it to the other bank latter. Then my favirt my grandmother always sends me $25 canadian in check form every year. I wanted to deposit it into my account and said its drawn on canadian funds. Oh I don't know how to do that said the lady. I told her I have been doing this every year since I was 18 at this bank and never had a problem. They take the check hold it for 15 days or some other outragus amount of time and then send me a letter telling me that some $12 amount was deposited on such and such a date. This lady refused my check and I am pissed about the whole thing. So if someone would like to give me a nice present please kill the f'ing bitch who would not do her job at the bank or get her fired that would work too. Thanks | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| Hello Everyone
I am still alive and well. Well kind of well anyway. I am six month pregnant and doing ok much better than with Serena. I have been having one of those nights when you just wish it would end. I need to finish two pages of my reaserch paper due tomarrow. The bank will not let me ues my debit card even though the cash is in the bank. I have been fighting with them to fix it all day. I need to place an order tonight for my mary kay stuff and don't have another card to use. I want someones head on a plate tomarrow for all of this crap. The phone company called my today and said that I needed to pay $256. today or they were shutting off the phone. I was floored because I had just made a $150. payment to them less than two weeks ago and that had brought me current. Somehow someone has been charging calles to my account and has opened up a telephone card on my account which was not us and has charged this. They shut off my phone. I still have to find out what the he!! happened. I just want to kill someone. Why does this stuff always happen at the same time?
Ok now I feel a little better I just was able to make my order through my Director Linda she is so wonderful. I just have to drop off the cash tomarrow which will not be a problem. Ahh one thing down 199 to go.
Well thats my rantings for now. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| So you would thing by now I would be used to Joe pulling this crap right? Well, no I try and hold out hope that there must have been something good in him? That he would come to his senses and be a little human again. Something that would make him just a little less of an a@@ would be nice.
Anyway, he sends me this letter that obviously his mother wrote for him because, well, that is one thing I do know about Joe, he writes like a kid. This is professional and well writen and complete shit.
In this letter he says that while we were together we wanted Serena to go to private school. Well, since we were getting foodstamps and shopping at goodwill I dont think that we agreed to do that. In fact at the time I think we were just trying to survive.
He also offers to pay for her schooling if she goes to Cabrini. Where his mother lives and she can take care of her. Isn't that nice for her. But you can't even help pay for her dentist bill or for medication because you have not worked in three years yet you have the money to send her to private school.
OH! I wish someone whould sit him down and make him see reason. I don't want his mother, who by the way has emotionally crippled her children and is either very ill herself or a liar who is on disability, to raise my child. He may not have a problem with that, but I do!!! | | comments: Leave a comment |
