Surprise!!! Surprise!!!!

Ok, so it has been an interesting few weeks. first let me tell you how surprised i was when i got a friend request from author James Rollins. i had become a fan of his books on facebook, and then like a day latter he requested to be my friend, i know this is probably an unimportant thing to most of you people out there, but hey, it was sorta shocking to me. open up facebook and what do i see, a friend request from the author who at the moment tops my list. not bad, not bad at all.

on to more important things, i have after much consideration decided to apply for president at my university, i know, i know, who would ever have thought that i would want to deal with something like that, i know i never did. but hey, its a good oppurtunity, and it sounds intersting, plus it will look damn good on a resume if i ever decide to actually try and find a job. one of these days i will work, really i will. i keep telling my self that, who knows maybe one day it will actually happen. though to be honest if i could get one of my "dream jobs" i would have no issues working.

ok; just in case anyone out there reading this wants to know, maybe they want to offer my a job *winks* my dream jobs are:

*being a tour guide. yes i know, this may seem strange to you, but i really love history, and the best way to experince it is in action, at the location, just i don't know, put books just aren't the way to go for me. plus i love to travel

*being a research assitant. especially for a really awesome author *nudges James Rollins* it wousl be interesting to look up all the different aspects of something, and then help incorporate it into a great story, especially if part of doing this research invovles visiting some of the places that will be written about. as i said previously, i love traveling.

*working in a museum. ok, this is probably the more mundane of my "dream jobs" but its the one that i actually plan to work towards, it would be interesting to help set up displays about things that i also find interesting. put what i consider to be important info out for others to see.

i do not want to be a teacher, the only way i would teach is to be on a college level. i do not deal well with little kids, i tend to expect them to love history the way i do, and lets be honest most of them think its boring, and i also do not deal well with teenagers, they think they are all-knowing, and they aren't. and i would love to be the one to show them how not they are, but then i would get fired. so college level only, and that is only as a last resort, i so do not want to teach,

ok, we are done with the whole job thing, if anyone wants to offer me a job, leave a comment and i will get back to you after the beep. well, comments don't beep, but hey, you get my drift.

lets se, back to school, i was also offered an internship at the state capital, but sadly, i won't be able to do it. working 4 hours from home, with a new born baby, and a seven year old, and a husband, well, not the best idea in the world, if it payed enough for them to come too, i might consider it, but it doesn't, and it would push my bachelors back a year, because my asl class, the last of the four is only offered in the spring, so i would have to wait, then i would be all rusty, and then with my luck i would fail. so no internship next semester. if it wasn't for the asl, i would probably take it, 12 credits of working at the capital, that would look nice on my transcript. i would try to use it towards my masters.

my stepdad had a heart attack, he is good now, and back at home, thank god. but it would be why i have been on line even less than usual. the good hospital is like 1 1/2 hours away, so driving has been going on alot in the last few weeks. lets see, since my trip to phoenix to see the president, i have been to phoenix 3 times, and i have to go back on wendsday to pick up my mom from the airport. oh wow, i need to explain about the airlines, i hate the airlines. they make life very difficult when someone has a heartattack and you need to cancel thier portion of a trip. i must have spent over 10 hours on the phone dealing with these people, and in the end they still screwed up. luckily they fixed their mistake, if not we were going to have issues, ones involving lawyers, or the police, some issues can be fixed with guns.

anyways, in approximately 4 weeks i will have gone to phoenix and back 4 timesm and tucson and back probably 10. not counting a few ghosttown hunting trips, we all know how much i love those. they are one of the things i look forward to most, exploring a new place, preferably one with lots of ruins. watch out europe, one day i will get to you and your castles.

speaking of ghosttown hunting trips, i am hoping to go on one today, so i should proabably stop writing now and get a move on, its already 10am, and this one is pretty high up in the mountains and i really really don;t want to get stuck in a thunderstorm up there. so until next time

life

ok, so i have started classes now, which is not really an issue, i am good at school. much better at it than i am at working truth be told. but dang it has been very busy since last we spoke.

my step dad has had a heartattack, but he is doing good now, hopefully he will be home from the hospital soon, it will be a week tomorrow. we are going to go and visit him this afternoon since it is his birthday, sucks to have to spend your birthday in the hospital, but we each do what we have to, or in this case, what we are forced to do by family and healthcare professionals.

my beloved husband is once again unemployed, i am not even going to go into why, its to long of a story. but needless to say we are now not in a goos place finacailly again, which i have to say i find very frustrating because we have just now caught up from the last time he was unemployed because of my student loans. speaking of my student loans, they were a pain in the ass this semester. the university had the paperwork screwed up or something, because they were, well in actual fact are 2 weeks late. they will be in this friday at the latest. so very very annoying that is. we depend on that money for major bills, like rent and other necassary things, and with it being two weeks late, if my phone hadnt been cut off, i would have a bunch of people calling for money anyway, so it would still be useless to me.

ok, next on the agenda, my aunt and uncle have come to visit from Samoa. i like/love them, but it is definately strange having other people in the house, especially without my mom here. i keep getting harassed about when i eat and what i eat. i havn't had to answer to somebody in years, unless i am leaving the kids at home, and its annoying that my aunt seems to think i should have to answer to her. we will just have to see how well my patience holds out, they are going to be here for a month.

aww, the kids, michael the oldest is now in second grade, and he is pretending that he cant read. he comes home and reads all sorts of books, but in school he is being lazy, which is going to stop. i have talked to his teacher, and his lazyness is now going to earn him twice the work in reading. he can do it, and he will. as for the other, little ray, i have dubbed him frog. and tomorrow he will be 1 month old. i can't believe how quickly time flies.

and with that note i will leave you now, becaue along with school come homework, and that is what i have to do now. wish me luck, i tend to be easily bored.

VFW

Ok, so i am a life member of the VFW Ladies Auxilary, and lucky for me, the national convention this year is here in AZ. So, this year i get to go, though not for very long, only for about a day and a half. this is my second national. but i can't go for very long, i don't want to miss my classes, nor do i want to let my son miss his. he is already going to be missing one day, and to be honest that is one day to many.

watching full metal alchemist atm. i forgot how much i enjoy not only the show, but the soundtrack. i need to dig the cd out and listen to it.

i am also packing, doing so much in such a short period of time. oh wells.

my friend does a paranormal research group, i was looking at maybe going with her tonight, but she hasn't called, and considering i have to drive 100+ miles tomorrow i think i will probably go to sleep instead, even if she does call. one of these days, i will have to try and explain my passion for history, particularly the living kind. i know that doesn't make sense, and i doubt it will when i am all done trying to explain, but alas that is a subject for a different day.

for tonight, i must go, i really do need to sleep, and there is still much for me to do. like the dishes, i hate the dishes, and packing and loading the car, and making sure the baby hopefully sleeps well tonight so that i can hopefully sleep well tonight.

well, until the next time then. hmm maybe i'll post some pics of my wierd online excursions as well. i guess we will just have to wait and see.

peace

hello

if i havn't mentioned it before, i will mention it again, it can be a real pain in the ass to live with your mom. i love her and all, but jeez when something goes wrong it tends to be everyones fault but hers. case in point, there is a piece of the oven missing, just this little bit of plastic that has been broken off, now obviously she did not do it, though she was the only one to use, o even touch/open the oven for two days, someone else had to broken it from afar. things like this happen frequently around here, and it can be very annoying, we have a ghost we must.

........................
i can here it whispering to its others spooky friends that we are a fun house to play with
.........................

on another note, i get to hear prez obama speak on monday, i'm not really a fan of the man, at least not as president, i think he is starting to screw up the country alot, and i feel bad for the next person in office, because they are going to have a hell of a time putting it back together, if it will even be possible. which it should we have a decent checks and balance system, that is of course if the stupid people in congress get their heads out of obamas ass long enough to use it. anyways, now that i am done with that rant, i get to see the man talk, and i am looking forward to it. he seems to be a decent speaker even if i don't agree with most of what he is saying, and how often does one get the chance to see a president speak live, and possibly even get to shake his hand. *rolls eyes* on a side note, i did get to here cheney talk and shake his hand a few years ago, i guess being a member of a politically active organization has some perks.

i start school next tuesday, yay me. sign language here i come, i'm gonna suck do to lack of practice, but such is life, it has been a rather busy summer.

with the start of school comes income, lotsa money, that will probably be gone before i even get to grasp that i had it. but it means i get to go shopping for the rest of the stuff for ray. and of couse some new clothes for the non preggers holly is a necessity as well. and i may or may not buy something for my hubby, we will have to see whether he is still reading this first.

baby is gassy, he seems to dislike burbing, such a sad thing. makes it hard for him to sleep sometimes, but then when he does finally get to sleep, he sleeps for long lengths of times, always nice, that way i can take a couple of 3-4 hour naps, sleeping more than that at a time is a bit impossible at the moment, but thats fine, he is worth it.

hubby is still reading, cookies for him, i guess i will buy him something after all.

and we have to get some clothes and legos for the older son, he needs t-shirts, and jeans, and legos because they seem to be his new fave obsession atm. speaking of the older son, he started school last week, and has the nicest teacher, it scares me. he can be a pain to handle at times, and i'm not sure she will be able to hack it but i guess we will see. he is being a great big brother though, and the fact that he started school so close to the baby being born was a great thing, he adores him, but doesn't have to deal with him all the time, so he is quite happy.

the second son always has the hiccups, its cute, but i feel bad for the little guy, it has to be annoying.

going to phoenix this weekend, maybe i can ride a roller coaster while i am there, i am starting to go through withdrawal, i missed riding them when i was pregnant, so now we need to go and find some new really really fast ones.

the husband is going to phoenix this weekend as well, but sadly not with me =0( he is going up to meps, which is basically the last step to him going back into the service, army this time instead of marines. marines are better, but the army takes better care of the family, which is more important than being the best. besides, he was and forever will be a marine, so whatever right. with any luck he will get offered a nice supply position, and we will get transferred to germany, though i really really want japan that is not someplace the army spends alot of time at. but to be honest anywhere but here is always good for me, though finacially here would be best for the next two years, i could pay off ALL of our bills and buy a new car, without payments in that time frame. it would be nice to be able to start new, but i doubt we will get assigned to our home base so to speak, and if we did, we would still be living with the moms around, and if you need to know how we feel about that then refer back up to paragraph one of this post.

i need to go now, time to pay a bill, and i need nourishment, food, something that will give me energy other than the Amp i am drinking, i also need to take my vitamin, since my eating habits suck, the vitamins are one fo the few things that are helping the baby not sap everything out of my system with the whole breastfeeding thing. btw in case you didn't know, breastfeeding hurts. like hell.

ok, that is all for now, maybe i will write in a few days to tell about the yummy cookies me and the older one are going to make, i have everything i need for them. love you anyways Iri.

New Baby!!!

ok, since last we spoke, i was still quite preggers. now i am not!!! yay!! i am now the proud mother of a 8 pound 1 ounce boy named Ray. he is adorable, and he even lets me sleep through the night with the small exception of one feeding. i have no issues with that, and am more than willing for it to continue. i was in labor for a bit longer than expected, especially considering i was scheduled for a c-section, so there shouldn't have been any labor. but it is what it is i guess. i also had a tubligation, so no more kids, which my doctor was very thrilled with because it would seem that my uterus is in no condition to have another child, in fact i was quite lucky to make it through this one, especially after being in labor for almost 30 hours. my doctor was very much we should have done it the first time you came in, but we had no idea that my uterus was so bad. now if i get pregnant again, it will not only be against very big odds, but most likely i will have to terminate the pregnancy, which would kill a part of me, so my poor husband is going to go in and get snipped. that way we have even less chance of that happening. ok, i guess that is all the news for now. school starts again soon, so i'll probably be on a bit more, but who really knows for sure. byes

Randomness

Ok, i suspect that this will be my last post for a few weeks at least, whats different about that. i really have no idea, but hey at least you got warning this time around right. less than a week and this baby is gonna be out of me. thank god. this pregnancy has been hell. i have been sick over 6 months of it, that is just wrong, at least it is to me. with any luck i will have an easy birth this time around, i'm pretty sure i've said it before, but i am going to say it again, infections just stay away, far away from me. i do not want to spend a week or more in the hospital this time around, i hate hospitals.

we have the baby's section of the room put together, its so cute, lots of bright colors. and a dead monkey stuffed toy, there has to be some weird in there, it is me after all. and i have decided that if he turns out to be a she i am going to cry, all of the clothes and such are for a boy. all the big stuff could be used for either, but i really don't want the hassle of a girl, i think they are adorable and such, but they can get into alot more trouble, and just have to be watched a bit more closely, and then when they become teenagers, the majority of them become evil things that i want to wipe of the face of the planet for at least 3 years. i really don't want to have to deal with that, so come on i so need this to be a boy just like the nice doctor man said.

so i have to take 5 classes this semester again, because i am going to have to independant study my way through asl, i need to finish 2 semesters in one for that class, because its not really one i could take online, and michael has decided that going into the army is what he is going to do, so i need to be ready when i am told it is time to leave, no more garuntee to staying here till may like there was before, its annoying though, i am so close to having it done, 8 classes, and then i am done, oh wells. i'll get it even if it takes a bit longer than i would like. then there is still the masters to look into, but i think changing schools for that is going to have to be a necessity at this point.

i'm looking forward to the army though, i'm still a little apprehensive about it, especially when it comes to deployments, i really don't want to have to live without michael again, but i am looking forward to the whole getting away from here thing. we have always lived with our parents very active in our lifes, and i really love them both, but soemtimes i wish we had room to ourselves, and a city without them in it. and the army, that is definately the way of doing that. yay!!!!

hmm, well i think that this is it for now, and as i said earlier, i think this will be the last post for awhile, but then again who knows, i may just surprise us all.

forgetfulness

so when my computr went away, so did all of my bookmarks, which caused me to forget about many of the sites that i tend to visit on a regular basis. until i noticed the link to this blog on my facebook, i knew i had it, but couldn't for the life of me remember the flipping address. needless to say that issue has been solved, and with any luck i will have my computer back in the next two weeks, this is sadly about two weeks longer than it should be, but hey, it will be fixed and better than ever, supposedly at least, personally i just want it back. ASAP

ok, so onto what has happened this month. we have finally moved rooms, and boy am i glad that that is over with, it was a pain in the ass, and i still have a bit to do. other than that, i hav just been enjoying my time with lil man, in less than a month the baby will be here, so he can use the extra attention.

lets see, the baby will be born on july 27th, the surgery is set for noon atm, but that is likely to change about a week from the day. or so i have been told. my baby shower is going to be this sunday, i really did not want to have a baby shower, but people insisted, and tbey are dealing with it, so i was like whatever.

saturday is one of my fave holidays. the fourth of july, yay USA. i can't wait, though this year will not be as action packed as previous years. i just don't have the stamina to celebrate for 18 hours straight this year, though that may sound like an exageration, it really isn't. from predawn till well aftr dark i am usually doing something or another. i live in a great place for it, there are things going on everywhere so we always have a great selection of stuff to do. this year though will be, some stuff in the morning, nap, some stuff in the early afternoon, nap and of course the fireworks, though i ma not sure wether we will watch those from the house or risk going out into public. i am at the moment leaning towards from mine or a friends, that many people don't seem like somthing i want to deal with at 8+ months pregnant.

so as you shouold know, my husband recently got out of the marines. yay him, the only prob with that is that now he is having issues finding a job within our state that pays anything close to the same, his solution id joining the army or the air force. most likely not the same state, but thats fine with me, i love experienceing new things, what i am not sure of is another deployment, we barely made it thru the last one, and though we are now stronger relationship wise than we have ever been, i really dont want to have to worry about him dying in a war thousands of miles away. i guess we will have to see what happens with that, but i will be sure to keep you all posted.

well, it is almost time for my shopping spree for my kitty. if you want to check it out, then go to daphidilia.superpokepets.com
