A little bit of everything

Okies, first we're going to have a little rant. If you are either in a bad mood, or just having a bad day STAY OFF OF THE COMPUTER!!! You misconstrue everything said as a stab directly at you. The vast majority of the time, people say what's on their mind, on the computer anyways. It is not directed at you unless someone writes "Hey such and such, you're an idiot" or something along those lines. I refrain from saying names a lot because it is rude to bring that attention on someone when you're the one with the beef against them. For example, if someone I know decides to make stupid decisions in their life and I am completely against it, I may write "you are such an idiot, think before you act!" then all of a sudden everyone who has done something stupid will react. I won't say "Hey George, you are being an idiot." unless they know how blunt I am and that they won't get their feelings hurt by my saying so. Yes, I bring a lot of my thoughts forward and the vast majority of you know that I don't really care if I hurt you or not. I am blunt. But come on, someone is writing something in general, not directly at you. If you don't want the negative feelings or attention, DON'T READ IT!!! Get off Facebook or whatever you are on, sit back, read a book, go for a walk, play a game, just GET OFF THE DARN COMPUTER! I am so tired of reading "don't mess with me today" or "don't talk about me" type crap. I mean come on now.

We went to Kansas last month, visited with family and had a great time. We even put Tye in Jail! My Momma will be here for a week on the 16th. It'll be great to see her again as I haven't since Christmas! Then at the end of this month, we are going to Utah to see Shellie and her soon to be hubby get married. I'll get to see two old friends at the wedding *Shellie and Nicole* and meet some wonderful ladies I've befriended over the past few years. Next month I have a baby shower to attend, and then we are planning a camping trip at the end of September! WHEW busy busy!

School is going good. I still have my A's. I'm working hard. I will have my associates in November, so GO ME! I am continuing on for two more years to get my bachelors. I'm excited.

OH I wanted to bring a website to attention. This guy does AMAZING art. nogreaterloveart.com His name is Jason Bullard and WOW. I have 4 prints of his, finishing building the frames for them but yeah. I'll take pics of them when I'm completely finished.

I'll stop rambling for now. Much Loves where they go!

Bully

Now seriously, What the heck is wrong with people? Why is there so much hatred, cruelness, prejudiced people??? Now I grew up believing we all bleed the same color, we are all the same! Differences don't matter, that's what makes us individuals, cuz if we were all 100% the same, what fun would that be? Look at this video, it describes how I feel about bullying. You are Beautiful, period. You know, those of you who read this know me. I am short, I am blunt and I don't care what others think! I am completely amazing, because I am me! I am raising my children to treat their classmates and everyone they meet as equals. They know to treat all their classmates with love and respect. If they see someone who looks different, who has flaws, they need friends too! A while back, we watched a lot of Extreme Makeover Home edition. My oldest daughter, Kylie, loved that show. On one of the shows there was an amazing family.Here is a copy & paste from the website.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition: The Tom Family

Susan Tom, a single parent of seven adopted children with disabilities from Fairfield, CA, didn’t set out to adopt children with special needs, but somehow they found each other. After her divorce, Susan, a mother of four at the time (two biological, two adopted), became a foster parent and soon fell in love with the children no one else wanted. Now “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” will give back to a woman who has given so much love to children in need by providing a new home for her family in two special back-to-back episodes.

Taking in children with challenges hasn’t been easy. For Xenia and Hannah, who were born without legs, and Libby, who was born with spinal bifida and confined to a wheelchair, the Tom home is a logistical nightmare. For Cloe, who was born unable to bend her elbows and knees, getting around the house and up the stairs is extremely difficult. There is also Katie, who was born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and is mentally challenged, and Faith, who was badly burned as a baby and encounters stares from strangers every day of her life. Finally there’s Margaret, who was not expected to live because of brain damage; she’s now a thriving 21-year-old who works full-time and helps out her siblings, as she pursues her dream of becoming a pediatric nurse.

In these special episodes of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” this family will finally find a safe haven to call home. Discriminated against on a daily basis by ignorance and physical challenges, the Tom children deserve to have a home that doesn’t discriminate against them. Susan and the children are thinking of taking in more children with special needs, if their new house could accommodate them.

While the design team, contractors and hundreds of workers, volunteers and a local builder, the Sacramento division of John Laing Homes, are building the Tom’s dream home and comfortable living environment, the family will go on vacation at Walt Disney World.

In addition, the Backstreet Boys send a special video message to the family while on tour, and country singer Mark Wills performs for the family at Disney World during their vacation. During the construction, champion wrestler/weightlifter Kyle Maynard (author of “No Excuses”), who was born with a rare disorder called Congenital Amputation, inspects the house to make sure it’s disability friendly and gets into a wrestling match with Paul DiMeo. 

Pretty cool huh?

Now this is the song that Mark Wills sang, it's absolutely amazing:

Anywho, I was telling you what Kylie did. When we watched that episode, she looks me dead in the eye and said, "Mommy, why do kids pick on her? She's beautiful." Tell me I don't raise good kids. :D Bullies and other people in general could learn a thing or two from my daughter. :)

Don't!!

Hi my friends and family!! I am almost finished organizing my house. I am soooo happy to have a place that's mine.

Okay, I got on here today to vent a little. There is one word that is forbidden in my house. "can't" That word is the most untruthful, hateful word there is. You can do anything!! I know things get hard, I know you think it's impossible. I love the word impossible. Look closely: "I'm possible". Now listen, I am far from perfect. Things get hard. You want to change where your life is leading but you "can't" due to funds, due to your significant other, due to your job blah blah blah. You want to be happy? Love your friends and be the kind of friend you want. Smile when the sun shines on you. Take a deep breath and one step forward. SLOW DOWN!!! Life is not a race. Dance just because. Laugh at silly thoughts. You can do anything. You are more amazing than you think. You are my friend and I am by your side each step of the way. Doubt me, I will prove you wrong.

Moms are vital for life. I love my Mom and am proud to say I still go to her when I need her. My mom is one of my dearest friends. I couldn't thank her enough for being my mother.

Working out

Today marks the beginning of a new me. I am working out, eating right and fighting to be more healthy for my kids sake. I will feel as amazing as people think I am. I want to be beautiful and healthy for Tye. He is my best friend and deserves someone who can keep up in life. Wish me luck because I won't give up.
On a side note, Mother's day weekend is going to be great. I get to spend the weekend with a friend at a spa! Tye will be with the kids, fishing, camping, or whatever. He is such a great Daddy.

School is going good. I just started my next set of classes. I love life. Live, dance, laugh and love. Live each day with love and joy.

Bullies

I watched Ellen today like I do every day, but today I cried sad tears whilst watching it. At the end of the show Ellen was talking to a couple who lost their son to suicide in 2009. He was bullied in school. I will never understand the hatred people could have for others just because they have differences. Why focus on differences? I am short with long dark hair. I am different than many people in many ways. Why is there so much damn hatred??? The way I see things, we all bleed the same color. I have been teaching my children to encourage friendships with all other kids regardless of their looks, religion, sexual orientation, or background. It's sad that these differences are what causes people to think poorly of others and makes them judge them. You want to hate on someone? Come hate on me! I can take it easier than many others because I know who and what I am. Your opinion is nothing. You don't feel how the victims of bullying feel. You who bully should feel ashamed. Not only is your opinion nothing but you are nothing. I support Ellen and JCPenny and others who are bullied for being different. Don't like it then kiss my a$$!!!!!

March Already?

March is halfway through. Spring has sprung, at least on the calender. My anniversary is coming up. My middle daughter is graduating from Kindergarten in a couple short months. Where did time go?

I know I haven't posted since December, time sure flies when you aren't paying much attention. We are doing good. School is great, I have a 3.96! I have a deep want to be working in the school system, either with young kids or with special needs kids. Passion, I guess is the correct word rather than want. I will have my Associates in Arts for Educational Paraprofessional in November and I will continue on another 22 weeks to achieve a second Associates in Early Childhood Education. Will I make a good teacher? I don't know the answer to that. I know that I will do my hardest to help students academically as well as be there for them to talk to, to help better them in all aspects of life. We all start out as students, then when we get married and have children, we become teachers. Parents have a hard life, focusing on their children, making sure they are safe, healthy, happy, have all their needs and everything in between.

Bit of a random thought, but how the Hell can people hurt children??!? I keep reading about child molesters, rapists, murderers, and so on. Those actions are bad enough but when done to children, it just irks me. Kids cannot defend themselves, they feel as if this stuff happens to them because they did something wrong. You want to feel big and bad so you do this stuff to babies? Want to know what you are? Afraid. You are afraid. Want to see what you mean to people like me? Come find out. Go stand in the middle of the Grand Canyon, or row a canoe into the middle of the ocean. You are insignificant, you are nothing, you are garbage.

KK sorry about that randomness. I have read too many sad stories about children being hurt and basically getting away with it. Makes me want to buy a 50 cal and take the judicial system into my own hands.

Ok, to lighten up this post, I shall bring up something that is very important to me: my friends and family. I've got the best of both. I have friends who have turned into my family,

family who has turned into my friends. I have joy, love, life... times are good! I am truly happy. I miss my husband a ton, but we've grown closer over the last few months. The time apart really hurts, but talking daily, texting, emails or by phone helps a lot. He's amazing, no question asked. I have friends that make me remember what real friendships are. High school was one thing, not many real friendships, just people who are trying to get through school. I can sadly count only two real friendships through High School. I have friends now, whom I have never met, or met once, who I can rely on. These friends are there for me to talk to when I need it. They help me rejoice in the good times. They even watch my girls grow up with me. These friends don't judge me by what I do wrong or differently than they do, they see me as a Mom who cares, a woman who is attending school to better her future, a friend who truly wants to be there for them. I hope they all know how much they mean to me. My Mom and I have gotten closer. I love her to death and hope she sees that she is vital to my life. I need her. My kids are growing into beautiful children, playing sports, doing great in school, growing up on me. They make me smile daily, many times a day. I've gotten to know several people on my husband's side of the family. They are incredible people who accept me for who I am.

I think I've rambled enough in this post, Promise to post a little more often than once every three months hehehe.

Love you, my friends, my family, my life. :D
