Annoyed
Ok, so my husband is trying to go back into the Marine Corps, after being out for less than a year. But it is not going well, it should not be so damn difficult to do, everybody including the recruiter keeps telling us this. but something keeps cropping up here and there. its like fate, for whatever reason doesn't want him back in. but there are no jobs around where we live, and we can't afford to move so it is the military or it is nothing. i am exceedingly frustrated and annoyed at this point. now he needs a physical, another one. and we can not find someone who is willing to do it with in a decsent time frame. we really need it done before the first of october, and yes i know that is in two days, but we have been dealing with this shit for like a month or more now, so it is just arrrrr. its not like we have waited to the last minute. he already had a physical done, now he needs a second one. ok, i am done venting for the moment. i guess we will know later wether i will need to vent again.

Free Education
so i wonder how many people have noticed that free public education is so not free. you have supplies and such to buy, which is not an issue, but can still add up. then you have those teachers that just put all of the kids supplies into an everyone can use place. yes it is easier to deal with when there is just a big bag of crayons or markers, and you get rid of the whole "he has my blue crayon" type of thing. but then you have those kids who are just plain destructive, so they end up breaking or wasting more crayons than your average student, then when replacements are asked for it seems unfair for some people. there child didn't waste 24 crayons, but yet they are having to replace them anyways, when they wouldn't have had to had each student been allowed their own pencil box with there own supplies. but then you start with the whole my crayoins are better than your crayons type of thing, and sadly, even in second grade there are children who are looking to see if they have the best clothes, backpack etc.
then you have to deal with all of the fundraisers, and the book orders, and you always have to get at least one thing, because if you don't then your kid gets picked on. school sucks for kids that get picked on, i remember at times i was one of the ones getting picked on, but then again who wasn't. needless to say, the free education in this country costs alot of money. you think it would be better than it is. awe well, such is life i guess.
i just thought i would complain for a bit, because there are times when i think i spend more money on my sons education than i do on my own. and considering i go to one of the top universities in the country that is saying something.
speaking of education i have a test tonight, i am not really looking forward to it. it is online, and lasts about 2 1/2 hours. the nice thing about it being online is that it is definately an open book exam. the bad part is that this is my first time with this teacher, and i am not entirely sure what to expect of her tests, i would be happier with a paper and pen. what can i say i am an old fashioned type of person when it comes to schooling. never been much for online classes. or books, when i read i want to have something in my hands, i want to feel the pages turning, not just stare at the screen of a computer or a kindle. yet knowing how much easier it is to aquire books for a kindle, no driving and all that. i have a feeling that i am going to be getting one of those for myself. and if nothing else when i travel i won't have to plan my clothes around my books anymore. idk about you guys, but i tend to read at least one book a day, sometimes more, and that is not including all of the reading i have to do for my classes. when traveling for a week or more, i end up having either a bad of nothing but books, or i reread a few faves. and then when i get desperate i buy books while on trips, then i have to figure out how to get those home. for traveling a kindle would be very convenient, screen or no screen.
i can't wait for halloween, though i have no idea what i am going to be this year. i was hoping for a really pretty mideval dress, something a noble would wear, but i just don't think i am going to have the money or a costume this year. which means i am going to have to dig through my closet for something i can recycle. i guess we will see. i did manage to get the boys costumes already, the oldest is going to be Wolverine, and the youngest will be a skelebear. i know it was early to get costumes, but i had to get them while i had money, that way i knew they would be taken care of.
speaking of money, i am still looking for a job, i have more applications to put in tonight when i am done with my test. though i still wonder when i will sleep if i am working nights, being a wife/mom during the mornings and some afternoons, and going to school during the rest of the afternoons and evenings. and lets not forget the volunteering that i do for the VFW, or the fact that in the next few days i will be interviewing for the job of president for my university. damn, when i write down all that i do i wonder where the time comes from, surely there are more than 24 hours in a day. oh well, i guess i will always be busy, busy is better than not busy, because when i am not busy i get lazy, and lazy is bad.
ok, it is now time for me to go and take that test i mentioned earlier, wish me luck, i tend to like A's in my classes so i can use a little luck.

Ghosttowns
ok, as of my last post i was going hunting for a ghosttown i had yet to visit, and lucky me i found it. i think it is definately one of the better ones i have visited. it was so not that difficult to find either. though admittedly, if you didn't have at least a vague sense of where you needed to go, and if you were not good with directions, it would definately be easy to get lost in the middle of nowhere. and being so close to mexico, its not the savest place in the world either, especially after dark.
now i ready to go to a new one, which with any luck i will get to in october, i may have found another non related thing that i have to do in the area. and hey, if you have to do something you don't like, you might as well do something you like with it right. this new town is called bumblebee, and is supposed to be very well preserved mainly due to the fact that someone had tried to turn it into a tourist attraction. that failed, but it has kept the buildings in descent repair. for today though i think i may go to the lake, nothing better than to be able to go and cool off, and spend the day wih the family. especially since i have not been feeling too well the last few days. gotta make sure that i don't get sick. so figuring out the whole sleep thing has not been easy.
i may be getting a job in the next few weeks, not really what i want, but what i need. my life is always so busy, if i do get a JOB, i am not at all sure where i will get sleep, but hey i guess it will work out, it usually does. so long as my grades stay up then all is well.
until next time i suppose. maybe something amazing will happen between now and then, you never know

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
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.

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.

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.
