gotta love free $$

so i got my award letters yesterday...and im happy to say that i dont have to pay anything for college this summer :) fall is a little different...gotta cough up around $600...but thats not bad AT ALL considering im taking 16 hrs. its all worth it.

on another note i went to a funeral yesterday...my 2nd cousins husband. he was only 41 and had a 3 month old baby. it was really sudden and sad. but while i was sitting there listening to all the random things they were saying about this guy...i thought "what the heck would they say about me?" kinda freaky... i also was attacked by a small baby that was very unhappy about being contained in a small room for an extended period of time.

i didnt even cry at this thing...im a robot apparently cuz there wasnt a dry eye in the house...

mothers day

ive always wanted something like this...with the kids names...something different and personal but not frilly and "walmarty". (no offense just not my style) i just liked how this one was different...kinda like me :) haha

whats that old saying?

'when you have nothing nice to say...sit by me?!" no thats not it haha...its "dont say anything right?" well i guess thats prb why my blog has been a bit quiet lately. i hate getting on here to air my grievances...i also hate painting this beyond happy picture that doesnt exist. thats just annoying :) so heres a rundown of stuff thats been goin on

*marek lost his first tooth last week...lost it while brushing his teeth...then proceeded to spit in the sink...down the drain it went :(
*dealing with financial aid stuff for school...thats always FUN
*phoebe's spring prg is next week...they are putting miss diva center stage--i already have heart palpatations!
*been taking the kids to school in the mornings now...which is actually nice..i get to make waffles and pancakes and muffins for breakfasts!
*i was going to have my garage sale this weekend...now its next weekend...but NOW its held off until????
*boy scouts is coming to an end (thank goodness to the higher power above!) i feel bad bc they need leaders so badly but my answer is STLL NO! :)
*mother's day is coming....ya thatll be fun...no really it will...seriously...ok itll suck like always
*i went out with my gal-pal di for long john silvers the other day...the food sucked the company was AWESOME! :) loved getting nothing accomplished with her
*ohhh i almost forget the most important thing IVE GOT TICKETS TO SEE THE LION KING!!!!!
yep just me and the 2 offspring...i CANNOT wait!!!!!!!
*im learning sometimes you just have to ask for help...even when youre incredibly stubborn like me...and thats ok (well im getting more ok with it than i have been anyway)
*distance doesnt matter when you are truly connected (hi jen!) we are closer than ever and still as far apart as always

well time to take mr marek to the dr...hes sick today. :(

the classics NEVER die

hmm...try thinking for yourself

i think she was just trying to play both sides of the fence...but she did it REALLY poorly imo...if she was raised in a racist family i wonder if she would still use that as her excuse...

learning is good :)

"everyone, real or invented, deserves the open destiny of life."

fascinating stuff...

i dreamed a dream

im not sure what it was...her story...her voice..or just the song itself (who doesnt love les mis??) but i just cried like a baby when i heard her sing...breathtaking

easter festivities

it was an action packed weekend...kids had so much fun. we went to miss betty's annual easter egg hunt---and of course there were 129 people at her house :) huge spread of food and TONS of kids EVERYWHERE! everyone had a fantastic time...then on sunday it was lunch at naggies then whisk over to stillwater for lasagna at carla's...man were we TOTALLY wiped out by the time we got home...good thing im off for the next few days to kinda get life going in the right direction again. ive filled out all my fafsa info (keep your fingers crossed) and i might head to the bookstore today to check on getting some of that taken care of. also amongst all the other crazy...ive decided to have a garage sale! :) so next weekend ill be in the throws of that too...the fun just never stops around here haha

yum-o!

makin these tonite for easter tomorrow...actually not too bad...lemon-blueberry squares. babies are fast asleep..we had a FULL day with miss betty's egg hunt. im totally wiped out...but still have to play easter bunny..cant wait to see what tomorrow brings

its FRIIII-DAY!

ok so this week has TOTALLY sucked..worked on my day off..got totally confused by my advisors...work was completely INSANO today...went out with some girls from work last nite--woke up with a hangover this morning...(eew right?!) so jen calls and asks how im doin...umm ya im fine...sooo you wanna do that again?! lol you know im game girl--do you remember your bday like 100 yrs ago?? (gimme til 9..ill b ready to go at 9) so ya now me and jen and blast from the past erin are goin out tonite for "girls nite out" its been seriously forever since ive gone out this much..maybe well end up shakin some booties tonite :)

spring is a time for new beginings

and thats EXACTLY what this is all about...see those books...that will be my LIFE for the next year...and i couldnt be happier. im an official college sophomore :) so ya, the TON of dance classes i took and paid out the ass for didnt really transfer into much but thats ok. that was a whole other lifetime ago. im going for a social science degree...maybe into art therapy...not really sure about that...but next month i start my Lit class one of my algebra classes (im so math stupid its not even funny) and my world geography class. i realize that ill prb be the OLDEST person there...but the fact that i dont look my age should help counter act that :) there will be lots of changes going on in my life...and im so excited to get the ball rolling! EEEEK!

30 is the new 20

this is something ive been kicking around for the past few months...and i totally whole heartedly believe its true. its like a rebirth in a way...a second chance..this time around you know what you want and how to get it. youve lived a little and know how to avoid the mistakes you made or apply the lessons youve learned from said mistakes. since im writing this from jens hospital room i find this esp poignant. shell be 30 on thurs. and shes been dreading it for months now (just like i was) but now i think given the current situation shes accepted it and is adjusting and coping with it. these next 10 yrs are gonna be the best of our lives ---period--the end---cuz we just wont accept any less....its time to cut the bullshit...cuz life is just too precious and too short for bullshit...shes a fighter and gonna be ok...and bc shell be ok ILL be ok...period the end :)

mind numbing

so how stinkin cute are these?! i havent been on etsy in awhile...and since its all snowy outside and i need a distraction from all the dramz goin on right now i thought id window shop a bit...super cute--cant decide between the 2!

they are from a shop called orangeyredink on etsy...very cool stuff :)

also just an update on my girl...shes doing a bit better...still has the feeding tube in and all that..shes sitting up in a chair and got to see her babies yesterday (i could hear the excitement in her voice!) and shes stoked about our little slumber party on monday..cant say im thrilled to sleep in a chair but id sleep anywhere if it would help her out :) love her to death...keep the positive vibes flowing in her direction

what day is it?!

so im completely exhausted...got up yesterday at 4am and hauled ass down to okc to the icu burn unit to be with my bff-sister. its crazy....tubes-beeping-cords-EVERYWHERE i think she was being monitored for every function. i love her so much it kills me to see her that way. she actually got moved out of the icu yesterday though so that is a HUGE step. she still has the feeding tube but we know how to cheat that now to get it out sooner :) she is really determined to get the heck out of there to see her babies...which is a good thing..i believe a positive attitude can help heal your body--shes got another dressing change on thursday...shes really worried about it...she remembers the last one unfortunately. they think shell be in the hospital for a month maybe...were pushing for 2 wks...cuz its gotta get better from here...theres just NO other alternative....so ya i left her side for an hour yesterday to get lunch with her mom...and i got home at 10 last nite...its the last trip i can make down there until next week so she has to get better...anyway just keep her in your thoughts...shes got a long road ahead and will need smooth sailing for a bit :)

yep here i go again!

 

so i went today to fill out my update form and to see about getting enrolled for summer/fall. its like the biggest thing ever for me...to say im stoked is a SUPREME understatement. i have an appt with my advisor (i have an advisor!!!) on friday to discuss my credit hrs (bc i have alot apparently) and what i need to do etc...this is the same guy i took my human sexuality class from when i was preggers with marek! and he remembered me (awww!) so heres to new beginnings...



**also just a side note...my soul sister has been dealt a massive medical blow...please keep her in your thoughts and send good vibes her way...i love her so :) **

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

i cant believe for starters that its really been THAT long ago....i think this is totally cool and prb the best thing MTV has done in YEARS! being as my bday falls on WORLD AIDS AWARENESS DAY this cause is one close to my heart.

the lesson i learned today

i learned that when i walk in to phoebe's school and see 2 people in bare feet mopping the entire classroom...not to ask "did my daughter have anything to do with this?!" because more than likely the answer is yes. sigh.....
