Just Stoppin' By To Say Hi...

Oh wait I live here. Gosh I have been on the go so much, I didn't know whether I was comin' or goin'. I do remember promising to show the new tattoos off once they were healed. So here is a before and after picture.



I soooo love the convenience of just waking up and my make up is already done! There was a few days though that I looked like a geisha girl who got beat up by her pimp. lol. I would still do it again for this kind of convenience. Here's a picture because I think it's funny...

Although this picture doesn't quite serve it justice, as this time I actually had some bruising below my left eye and a couple of people really did think I had been hit. LOL What we women do for beauty. But even I have my limits. I am not now nor will I ever be to the point of having my toes surgically removed for the sake of wearing overpriced high heels.

Other interesting things... I just found out that I have way more then enough credits to have my AASGE degree. Although I know this degree with do absolutely nothing but stroke my ego and make me feel like all this time I have been in school has accomplished something. Ok it's not completely true that it will do nothing, but it won't do much. Having this degree will allow me to go ahead and take the LSAT's and skip some of the busy work for law school. Yes I know you thought I was going to school to be a nurse and I AM. But I see no reason not to double major and both fields interest me and can work together.

The kids are doing mostly good. Bre is good as gold like always, just normal didn't pick up her dirty clothes kinda stuff. Noah has finally started talking a lot. He now will repeat what ever you say. The other kids think this is great. What could be more fun then getting a 2year old to say "you tripin'" of course I would never ask him to say "mama pretty" or anything like that. LOL
Nate and Abby are a very different story that just makes me wanna cry. After many years of saying something is wrong with my kids, I don't know what, but something. It is getting to a boiling point for me. I have been blown off for many years about my concerns for them. Finally I think I found someone who is taking me seriously. However slow a process this might be I hope I am able to make progress. I do feel bad for thinking something is wrong with Nate and Abby but there is something there. I am their mom and I know!!! I have been told everything from they are normal to it's my bad parenting to this list of diagnosises... ADHD, ODD, Asburgers, OCD, Depression, Bipolar, no social skills, impulsivity, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, inability to see or hear well, etc. etc. I mean really this list could go on for ever but ultimately most of this stuff has been ruled out. ADHD and OCD are still top contenders but don't seem to be the root problem. Medicine seems to help Nate but really I would be hard pressed to get Abby on anything because of her age. I am stressed to the point of having hives all of the time trying to get the help my family needs. I think this is possibly one of the most frustrating things I have encountered thus far in my life. In addition to not getting the support from mental health and Physicians I also don't have the support of there father or my family. Not that I necessarily need there approval but I most certainly do not need them telling me there is nothing wrong. Course that hasn't been a real problem in recent days as most of my family doesn't even talk to me any more. Comments and suggestions welcomed.

My latest thoughts have been on buying the house I currently live in. It's huge and I really like it and wouldn't need to spend that much to upgrade/update to my liking. It would be a lot of work, with all the grants and stuff I would have to write for. There is no way I could do this one completely on my own but it would be nice to be out from under the thumb of the man. Ya know. All that said, it's only a thought and any action will have to wait until summer at least when I am not so busy.

Ok I am out for now I will try to post something good tomorrow before I am back to work. No promises.
Peace Out!
