There isn't too much new going on here. I finally got my review from my job. They gave me a good review except, I am not very flexible in changing my hours around, and I didn't do my online training. I knew I was blowing off the training.. I did it because if they don't play by the rules then I wasn't going to either. However it's all good, because I am now going to make another 3 a day, and when they did the math.. the back pay was........ over 300 dollars.
I seen my old English teacher in his office so I stopped to say hi. He is so cute. I keep teasing my husband about the young college boys, but this girl don't play with boys. mmmmm teachers maybe. lol I am just kidding. I am committed to my husband.

I have a question for dog owners... Do you ever find yourself really wanting to carry a conversation with your dog? I mean for example... It's cold outside... really cold out. I was going to go to work, and it would be about four or five hours before anyone would come home. I not only want to talk to my dog, but I wish she could answer me. So it would go like this..

Me.. Ann it's very cold out

Ann... Duh you noticed.. where you been? we live in Illinois.

Me... You have two choices.. Do you want to spend time outside.. you got your dog house.. or inside in the condo. Outside you can run, pee, poop,but you might be cold. Inside you are confined to what we call a condo.. and you can't run, pee or poop.. No one will be home for a few hours.. So what is the answer?

Ann.... Just feed me lady

Me... Come on give me a answer.. inside or outside?

Ann... Just go to work.. and don't forget to bring me home a steak..

Me.... Alright Ann your going in the condo.. it's too cold.

Ann.... Stupid bitch thinks I am going to talk.. didn't she notice. Helloooo I am a dog. Damn now I am stuck in this doggy jail. she better bring home some bacon.

back to college

Today was the start of college life again. I am only taking one class right now and that is English 101. I am officially going to learn at the college level. So you might ask why doesn't my blog show college work. It's because my blog is for fun, so that's why.

College this time around seems the same in some ways, but different. Two days of the week, I am in the same room, and I choose the same seat. The teacher isn't young and hot. :( He did make a good impression on me though. He seems like he might be able to be cool. Hey just because I am in my 30's and married to a old man doesn't mean I don't like to have some fun once in a while. Tad... Saturday westerns don't count... that reminds me of my Dad. haha. None of the students in my class were in my English 99 class. It would have been nice to at least see one or two familiar faces, but I did run into two guys in the hallway. These two guys were fresh out of high school last fall, and they took the time to get my attention to say hello. Watch out Tad the young guys still notice me!!!!
There was tons and tons of cars there, and it was freezing. I had to walk from quite a distance. As the semester gets started some will drop and parking will get better.
I waited till the last minute to get registered, so why change now. I went to class without books. Going on the first day with books would be so uncool. I am not going to be not only old, but caught with books on the first day. I did go get the books right after class. It was cool, because I knew where to go and how to get them. I rule the school. I love the environment of college, to see the excitement in the young ones face. Too bad they are in for a rude awakening life is rough!! The real world sucks sometimes, in my last 24 hour shift, both my clients fell, and both pee'd the bed. ewww. I had to get her all cleaned up, and made her lie on the couch, he cleans himself up and goes back in the bed. Maybe he only pissed on himself and not the bed, but you can't tell him. Oh and my job suddenly noticed that I have never had a annual review so Wednesday I go in for a review. Maybe I will get a raise enough to buy some dye to cover my grey hair. hahahahaha. Did I mention he gave homework already?
Now for some pictures. I am not as good as Jennifer with typing and putting the pictures in the right spot. But who cares? Not me. I am me and if you don't like... then don't let the door hit you. :)

Happy Birthday Michelle... I love you!!!

Hope you have a good day little sister!!!

babysitting

We are babysitting my sister's dog. It's hard to tell them apart in the video, but one is Ann and the other is Princess. Check out the pretty girls. The slightly bigger one is Ann.

Tonight Tyler and I went to the Ymca for swiming. We had a good time. There wasn't hardly anyone swimming which isn't either bad or good. The lifegaurd, a young guy, was only watching after three people. So he started to throw a ball at Tyler, and he would throw it back at him. This went on for about 20 minutes or so. It was kind of nice, because Tyler was interacting with someone other than his parents. Also if gave me some space. Tyler tends to hang on me, and I mean really hang on me. He doesn't do it of of fear, but for fun. I am his motor boat lol. As the lifegaurd is playing, he is also talking to the other guy in the pool. It's a intructor for the swimming lessons at the Y. He was telling him how he could get in trouble for playing with Tyler, that they want him to sit and not talk to anyone. I was planning on telling the Ymca what a good job he did by playing with Tyler. Then I hear he is breaking the rules. I can understand with a pool full of people that he should be more focused on watching people swim, but there was only three of us. He was playing with the person at the biggest risk. What happened to people being able to use their judgement? Why can't he use his judgement and decide when it's safe to go beyond of just watching the swimmers. Why can't he talk or play with a child or two if he feels it's safe. It because some big idiot decides they want to make rules and you people who are below will listen to me or what. People aren't being allowed to use their own judgement, and the people making all the rules wonder why everyone loses their brain. If you don't use it, you lose it. So what this big shots are doing is making a bunch of dummies. It's simliar to in my job, that is taking care of the elderly, I am not allowed to put on a simple band-aid, or apply a medicated cream. If a client has a headache, I can't decide they need tylenol. I have to twiddle my thumbs and say I am not allowed to do that. I can't think for myself. Why when you go to a restaurant are they told to say a specific thing instead of allowing the waitress to have a personality. I think if these hot shots want robots, then they should hire robots.
I haven't been to the Ymca for my hot tub in over a week. I have been trying to workout on my equipment in the basement. I managed to have a take of gas last me almost two weeks. My last fill-up before today was Monday before New years. So I am long overdue for a soaking in the hot tub. Sorry if your jealous!!! hahahahaha don't ya love me.

Tonight Tyler and I went to chucky cheese. It was a Christmas present. If I see people begging for pictures, I will post some. We had a great time. At first I felt bad, because it was just the two of us, but sometimes I need one on one time with my boy. I don't feel there is nothing wrong with that, but I still have guilt. I think he is growing up too fast, and I don't like it!!!

Today is my Dad's birthday!! Happy birthday Dad!! Tyler and I had a night of fun for you!! Love you!! Where is our pie??

We all have been taking turns being sick. It came on quick with upset stomach, then throwing up, and going from being hot to cold in a matter of minutes, and don't forget the headache. Saturday I pretty much ignored my kids all day, and had to call in for my Sunday shift. It was the first day that I have missed since I started working the 24 hour shifts. I could have made it, but I didn't want to take the chance with my clients.
So on Sunday morning, Will always goes to church with his Dad and then home. He decides since I am staying home that he could stay home, and we could play sorry. Hello I am sick from work... not playing lying just for a day off. Did I mention the painful legs and back? So Will went with his Dad to church and I stayed home. It wasn't until much later that I was feeling almost back to normal. So I played a game of Sorry with Tyler, and the next day we played a game of trouble. He won both games.
I am bummed out because I got a problem. Tyler is growing up. He is a cute, sweet, adorable kid right now. He thinks of others, and wants to please his Mommy. He isn't afraid to kiss him Mommy around other people, but someday he will grow up. There is just something about the innocence of a young child that you can't pay for. They still believe in the Easter Bunny, Santa, and the tooth fairy. The day will come when he will tell me that he understands that the Tooth fairy has to wait to payday, and the magic is gone. The excitement in the child's voice and sparkle in their eyes are gone. Then the Mommy's are screaming inside, because they want their baby back. Someone took their baby and gave them this kid, who is still cute, but not as eager to please and their isn't anymore magic. I don't know if this made any sense or not, but oh well.

Tyler was long overdue for a hair cut. Here is his before and after pictures.

I am kind of after a little advice here. As most people know Will and Tyler live apart now. They see each every weekend, and then some here and there. 9 out of 10 times if he sees Will more it's because I make the effort to see Will. Will wishes were to live with Bill. So here is where I want advice. For both kids, I gave them a gift card. Will got one for the movies. (Bill and him went while Tyler was home with me) That was okay with me, I didn't give the gift card to demand how he used it. Tyler received a evening out at Chucky Cheese for some pizza, games and fun. Now do I go get Will? I am sure Tyler will have fun either way. I want to go during the week, so it won't be so busy. So if I wait till Will is home from school, it will be kind of a late night on a school night. I feel guilty when I don't run and include Will in the stuff we do, but I feel like he made his choice, and if Bill isn't running to get Tyler then it's not in Tyler's best interest to run for Will. I know that doesn't sound right, because that is punishing Will, because of Bill's actions, or lack of actions. But is it really a punishment? He made it very clear that he wanted to live with his Dad. I consider it more of a lesson... you can't have your cake and eat it too.
I am not mad at Will because he chose his Dad's place over ours. We can't compete with the lack of rules, and allowing video games and staying up all hours of the night. Also Will knows if he lives with his Dad, I will still call and make a effort to see him, where his Dad only existed as a every other weekend Dad. You can't be a parent every other weekend. So I believe Will chose Dad's house overall, because otherwise his Dad was not gonna be in life his life. No phone calls, very little adventures outside of the weekend, and so William chose the household with the least amount of rules. Sounds like a good life for a teenager, but when he is older he will see the difference. So I believe he chose the worst of two different lifestyles. . Divorce sucks!! Not because I am apart from someone I once loved, and we know each other better than most people, but the children are the innocent ones.

It's another year!!! Happy new year and all that bull shit!!! Another day older and deeper in debt!! I am so excited. My darn furnace isn't working right, but at least I have a home warranty, and it should only cost me 55.00, unless there is little fine print about what is wrong with ours.
