Im a bad blogger

I am so bad about updating things! I'm working on cutting down the number of online things I'm on, including two or three journal sites that I've been on for one or two people who update on all of them.
The house is coming along. While Brandon was here we got the painting done, he put in the floors, and fixed some of the fixings that needed to be done. They are working on getting the things done for getting the 880 from hud and getting the baseboards down.
I'm looking into selling Avon to bring in some money, because I have not had any luck finding somewhere that will hire someone who can only work Friday-Sunday. School & free baby-sitters mean limited hours and I'm not going to work to just pay for daycare when I can take care of my own daughter. David is working part time on a contract that Jeremy's dad got cleaning up after there lawn service. One contract is 6 days a week and the other 3 days. Amy is working on helping him get in at the place she works fixing the photo machines so if both work out things should work out, at least if the job Amy has offers insurance. David & Azzie could get on any insurance in a heart beat so that is whats important but I cant, and with my luck if I go with out insurance I'll get an upper respiratory infection that will just get worse. Yay only having one lung making a person uninsurable.
I'm taking math this semester which isn't going to be fun but I have to do it sometime. I really need to find a regular baby sitter for Azzie Tuesday mornings. I'm leaning tword Brittney because we can pay eachother back and forth babysitting eachother kiddos. She is the primary care giver for her mom so I watch her daughter during her doctors visits & e.r trips because Alyssa is special needs and I know how to treat her g-tube if it gets pulled out and all that. My mom sudjested my grandma but she is on at least 10 medications & is in the early stages of altimers so she would have to watch her at my moms to make sure grandma didn't forget something. So mom would be baby-sitting the both of them during her work day. I lucked out with having Dennis able to watch her Thursday mornings. I'm not looking forward to maybe having to do night classes in Arlington because the city gets scary at night.

Lets see ... the semester is over, thank goodness. Two A's and one B shocking is that one of the A's was in my global cultures class which was the most stressful. I'm excited because now I get to go to school for free because we make under a certain amount, and because I'm not taking a full load at UTA the government allotment covers it all. So mom and I only have to pay for books and my tcc class, which is 1/9 the cost of a uta class.
David lost his job at best buy and has been interviewing and had an interview for one of the mid-cities police departments last week. Hes waiting to hear about the second round of interviews and all of the people he had put as references told us they had called them. We've been worried about the house stuff but because Dennis co-signed the house is still going through and we will be closing at the end of this week/beginning of next. Our first month of mortgage is included with our down payment so that gives us time to get stuff together. Plus we have plenty of small work to do to the house before we move in so our utility's and such won't be that much anyway for the first month or two. Most of which we can do ourselves, with the guys being so handy & my cousin Branden coming down who builds houses with his dad for a living. The biggest thing was the carpet & stove but my parents said because they won't have a student loan payment for me they are more than willing to take on helping with one or the other.
We went to California for Davids cousins Tianna's graduation. She got a BMW for her graduation gift from her parents! Much better than my hami-down laptop I must say, but she deserved it. We had fun, Azzie got to go to the beach, she didn't like the sand or the water. It was to cold and big for her so she was holding on to her grandpa. Aunt Rolanda was so happy she got kisses and hugs from her as we left. Azzie had her first plane ride and she did outstanding. David was with us on the way there and we were on our own on the way back. Which was scary because it was the second time I had ever flown by myself, the first I was young enough to have the flight attendants navigate me everywhere. So I was a bit scared because I am very challenged at navigating in the first place. Yet we did great and I didn't even have to ask for help other than having Uncle Donnie carry in Azzie's car seat for me to check. Dennis Tori and Becky had taken our suit case in the truck for us because they had driven. Sadly the red truck is no more, they had an accident on the way back and it was totaled. They had decided to drive straight through the night and Dennis started nodding off and rolled the truck. Thank goodness everyone came out with nothing more than bumbs, cuts and bruises.

Long time no blog

Sorry I've been bad about posting. School has been stressful ... first it was midterms, with midterm essays. Then more essays, tests popping up I didn't remember were coming up, working on my final paper for Populations on the American Deaf population so I could get my rough draft in.
Plus family has been in town. We took Azzie to the aquarium and the Zoo while Uncle Curt was here. We picked the wrong days to go to each, it was a great day outside when we went to the indoor aquarium and it rained the day we went to the outside zoo. So Azzie didn't get to see the big kitties, other than the Cheetahs. Which made both of us sad, because she likes the jaguar they have at the aquarium. She did get to see all of the monkeys, which was great.
Azzie has been doing wonderful. She loves kindermusik, I'm looking into library activitys they have for the toddlers. Particularly for summer comming up. I'm thinking of signing back up for the under two swim classes for summer, but I'm not sure yet.
House looking has been intresting, none of our bids had gone through as picked for the hud homes. Then we were going to go through with this one house, that I wasn't 100% happy with because it had a converted living room from the gradge, and it was close to the service road. Plus the people next door was running some buisness out of his back yard. Yet as we were talking to the people that owned it, the bid that beat us for the last hud we bid on (By $550!) fell through because their paper work fell through. Its bigger, has a gradge, a decent shed in the back and about the same price per month as the one we were looking at! It's been crazy trying to get the paper work taken care of.
Well, I need to head to class stuff. :-)

Yay Update

Not a lot has been going on. Azzie and I surprised Becky at school yesterday during her lunch. She's been having an on and off issue with waking up around 330 in the morning and not wanting to go back to bed in her play pin. (I can't wait for them to send us those brackets for her crib, because she will sleep so much better.) She has been loving her kindermusik class which is great. We talked to her teacher about summer if she should go ahead and do the 0-18 month summer class or the 18-3 year old summer that she will be joining anyway in the fall, and will be able to take next summer. The teacher said it was up to me, and there is only 5 classes in a session so its really up to getting all the books if we want them.
One of my really good friends is having major issues with some of her online friends where shes caught in the middle of a couple that broke up at least 6 months ago and they are still arguing about things that happened because of the break up, or things that caused the break up. Then her ex boyfriend is wanting her to take her back after them having a pretty bad breakup over a year and a half ago, and him & his last girlfriend harrasing her on and off during that year and a half. I love my friend to death but I know shes sick of it and I'm getting even sicker about hearing about how bad its affecting her when some of the things that she is dealing with for her friends isn't really her issue and she needs to get her self out of it before she starts doing something stupid.I finialy got onto her about it yesterday and she got on to Justin, her ex last night and also talked to her friend Mary. So I hope she starts unloading her plate because she just has been stressing her self out way to much.
Well class has started ... I think its funny that last class I saw someone in Anth playing WOW in class. :-)

The crazy week so far

Few, this week has gone by quickly.
Monday we had a test in Family & marriage, and just talked mostly in Global Cultures. We were supposed to have a quiz in Populations but our teacher was out again. She gave us all 100% for our quiz though! Plus I got to go home early to Azzie again so double plus. Yesterday though my teacher let us know some bad news of why she hasn't been feeling well. She is going to have surgery that she can't put off until the end of the semester. (Her first surgery ever, even with 3 kids so she is a little worried.) She's going to have it the Friday before spring break so if she bounces back fast she'll be back in time for the week after spring break but she is working with the Sociology head to get guest lectures for those two days if she has to be out just in case. She is a great teacher, and a sweet lady so please keep her in your thoughts! She started class kind of down but she always gets excited with our class because we always discuss things in class and bring up new ideas while her other classes are always very quiet. So she said we always brighten her mood. :-)
The T.A. who works with my Global Cultures class showed the film that was supposed to be for next week, yesterday because our regular teacher had something come up last minuet. Our T.A. worried me because she sounds like she, yes the TA is grading our papers, is grading down on a lot of peoples essay because they have "writing problems" even though everyones papers, that she has graded, is correct in their content. *rolls eyes* I hope she didn't mean mine because I even had my mom look over my grammar and such for me. I just wish I had my grade already though ... I guess I've been spoiled with teachers who got grades back the next day or two class periods after the quiz/test/due date. Which none of my teachers have done this semester.
Today Azzie and I had a very good day. We went to make up our Kindermusik class from a few weeks ago when it was canceled for bad weather. Then we went to lunch on a mommy daughter date, and went to the store to pick up some short sleeve shirts because most of the clothes we have in her size are long sleeve, and its starting to warm up. We went to visit her Daddy at work and got to see some of his friends from work. Now she is napping while I figure out some stuff with our bank. There is a pending transaction that is a double of a transaction that has already processed, for my moms cigarettes that cost $62 that she will pay me back for, but they have already accounted the pending in our available balance so it could cause issues if we needed to use our card in an emergency before mom can pay us back.

Turned into a good day

So update on the weather ... Nothing serious hit in our area even though there was about 10 mins there that we were concerned because my sister called when our power went out saying in grapevine the sirens were going off, the airport was on lock down and the police were advising everyone to seek shelter. Our power came on right when we got off the phone with her and we heard that some roof damage and fence damage was happening on the border of Grapevine and Colleyville but after a few minuets of worry the storm made its way east and the worry was vanquished. I had gotten a hold of a couple friends who live in the trailer park in grapevine and they had been given the go ahead to head home. Azzie had a hard night though so she, Tonks the cat, and I slept in the bed. David was playing video games until 1:30 and thats when I had to resort to the most awkward ways of sleeping. I had the cat at my feet, David taking up his side of the bed and Azzie taking up most of mine as well as my pillow. So I was hanging off the bed, with my arm under Azzie tossing feeling and my legs hugging my bum most of the night.

Anyway today was a good day. Azzie had Kindermusik, I got subway for lunch. I had to park really far out in the parking lot so I had a 15 min walk to get to class, but when I got to check my email my Populations teacher had sent us an email saying there wasn't going to be class due to an illness. So no hour and a half waiting after my Anthropology class! Plus I got out about 20-30 mins early from Anth because we had a quiz, and a team quiz. So I was home by 4:15! I got all but one or two of my readings done for next week, which I think are the ones for Weds, so all I have left for Monday is to study for a quiz in Populations and a test in marriage & Family!

I wonder

Why everyone thinks Benjamen Button is such a good movie? Really, please someone explain this to me because my mom, aunt Linda, and most of the people I've over heard talk about it don't get understand why its being noted as such a big deal movie. I really did not like that movie, interesting concept behind it but wasn't that great of a movie and it went on longer than it needed too... granted I do like really weird movies, like some of my all time favorites include Rocky Horror Picture Show and An Awfully Big Adventure, but there has been enough people that don't have my strange tastes in movies that agree with me.

Well, we have tornado warnings so I'm planning on having Azzie stay in our room, until the warning is over at 12, out of paranoia if I fall asleep and can't get to her fast enough if shes in her room. Davids up playing video games and doesn't work tomorrow so he'll be up. There was a tornado went through Oklahoma City and according to the weather guy the bulk of that storm should be hitting our area around 10 pm even though the sounds of the storm are already making their music. It's going to be a stormy night no matter what it decides to do so I don't quite know how well she's going to sleep. Some nights during bad storms she doesn't make a peep, others shes up every 30 mins until she gets put in our room where she knows she's safe.
