Kyle and I went out to Hogan's last night with Derrick and Kyle Breedan. We were having an awesome time. I had been to the hospital to see my grandpa earlier, before we went out. His color and all looked good, but in looking at his face, he just looked completely out of it. And when he tried to talk, I could hardly understand what he was saying. So, we're driving back home after Hogan's and something just hit me. I started crying out of nowhere. I cried all the way home. We got to the house and Kyle noticed I was crying and asked why, and all I could say was, "Everything; my grandparents, my mom, my dad...." So, he gave me the keys to go in and I didn't even make it to the door. I fell down in the driveway and just balled my eyes out. And I just had so much emotion and anger built up in me that I was just clutching the keys; like I had white knuckles. Kyle finally came and got me inside and put me in the bed, but I just couldn't stop crying. I don't know. I try to be so strong for everyone else, and sometimes I just finally lose it. My mom tries to be strong, but I know it's hard. My grandpa is in the hospital with a 50-50 chance to live, my grandmother has Alzheimer's and is way out of it sometimes, my dad has been having really high blood pressure lately, and my brother isn't doing good in school. It's just so hard!!! I can only be strong for so long. Luckily Kyle B. wasn't there to see it all. But Derrick rode with us, so I feel I need to call and apologize to him. I just feel so bad. And I look like absolute shit this morning, just from all that crying. Oh well. I'll just look like a freak show at work. |

What Men Need to Know About Women Apr 12th, 2006 1:30:29 pm - Subscribe

So, in child psych today we started talking about adolescence and the changes that come with it. The teacher split us up by gender: 19 girls to 5 guys. We were to come up with at least five things that the opposite sex should know about us (as far as development). Then we were to come up with a few things that we would ask the opposite sex about them. Here are the things that the girls came up with. Feel free to add input, and I'll follow up with the discussion that we will be having about it in class on Friday. Things that girls wish guys knew about -PMS: just because we're in a bad mood doesn't mean we're PMS-ing. -Sex: it isn't always on our mind, even if it's on your's. -Don't lie, because we'll find out one way or another. -Periods are painful!!! Please be a little considerate. -Bra popping isn't cool! Things we want to know about guys -Why do you play video games all the time? And why get so frustrated? -"Blue balls" ---> Yeah, so it's just a phrase to say you haven't gotten any in a while, but does it really hurt, or is it something you just make up to make us feel bad? -Can you control an erection or do you learn to control it? |

Well, it has honestly been one crazy day. Got up to go to church and all, I felt like crap. Just one of those days I guess. When I got to church, I was told my grandfather was being taken to the hospital and it would be up to me to make sure my grandmother got fed after church (she has dimentia/alzhiemer's). I have just been on a major emotional roller coaster today. My grandfather isn't doing well anyways because he does kidney dialysis and has tons of skin cancer (he was a farmer), let alone he complains something is always wrong with him. If it's not one thing, it's another. So, he was taken to the hospital today. They think he may have pneumonia and he was dilerious, so they are keeping him overnight. I don't know what's going on. So, I was upset about that. Then having to go sit with my grandmother for lunch was stressful. With her dimentia, we had the same conversation for an hour. I feel bad, but I just get so aggitated with it. I left there are came home to have my aunt Colleen in the living room talking with my parents about my aunt Teresa. Apparently there are problems there (that I can't mention). And with all my mom's tests she's having done and my dad's high blood pressure....little by little, things just keep adding up on the pile of stress I already have on me. Kyle probably thinks I'm psycho or something. I couldn't help but just breaking down when I saw him before he went to work. I just lost it. Ehhh....I hate it when I do that. But you can only be strong for so long. I just thought I would be older when all of this stuff happened. Sometimes I wonder if I'll have any grandparents around to see me get married. On the upside of things, we finally got some rain last night. Not as bad as they thought. No hail or tornadoes, just hard rain. At least now my car actually looks like I washed it. LOL. Anyway. Laundry and other things need to be tended to. Toodles! |

Current time: 8:00 PM Music: rock Weather: very cloudy; chances of bad thunderstorms; tornado warnings Yesterday was very uneventful. I woke up with a bad sinus headache that was left over from Thursday, so I didn't go to class. I worked from 12-6. A boring shift....as usual. Today I helped Kyle do his laundry and move more things. We also did a little grocery shopping. It was funny; he's like, "Now I feel like an adult." LOL. He's liking it at his grandpa's. I think it's going to stick. It's good though; it's livening up that house a lot. I'm very proud of Kyle for taking on the responsiblity of moving in there to help out, and just plain moving out. Maybe I can move out sometime. Don't know where yet, but maybe one day. After Kyle went to work, I came home and worked on birthday presents the rest of the afternoon. I did a picture frame with five different pictures in it for Bonnie. I thought about a scrapbook for her, but I didn't have enough pictures. But I did do one for Carrie. I had a few more pictures for her. So, that took me about four and a half hours to do. My head, neck, and back are killing me now. LOL. But it was worth it. I'm really hoping this storm actually brings some rain with it. We could really use it. Our roads are pure dust. My car has a whole layer of dust on it. I didn't wash it today 1) because it was too windy, and 2) because I keep hoping it'll rain and do the first part of the job for me. LOL I can't believe Easter is next weekend!! Wow. It's amazing how fast time flies. Cassie will be turning 21 next Saturday, so we'll be going out for that. Good times. I finally finished my series of books by Piers Anthony. It took me long enough. I flew through the first six books; the seventh just took me forever with classes and all. But while waiting for Kyle to get off last night, I sat and read for about three hours. I finished the seventh book of the Anthony series, and then I started the first book of the Chronicles of Narnia series. I got a quarter of the way through that. It's been so long since I've read those, but it's all coming back to me, just like it was yesterday. That was one of my favorite series as a child. Anyway. Off for now. Have a great night. |

 TRUE STORY THIS IS TOO FUNNY!!!!! Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws and while there, went to a nearby grocery store to pick up some groceries. Several people noticed her sitting in the car with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head. One customer who had been at the store for awhile became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open, and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she'd been shot in the back of the head, and had been holding her brains in for over an hour. ! The man called to paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head. When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head. A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out but quickly recovered and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour until someone noticed and came to her aid. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Kyle is feeling better. He still has a bad cough and congestion, but is much better. Better enough that he went and bought a motorcycle!! Yep...he finally got one. He's wanted one for so long. It's nice. A Kawasaki ZZR 600. (I think the ZZR part is right...but don't hold me to it.) It's an '05 and is dark blue. Gotta think of a name for it. I'm doing better too. Not as much congestion anymore. I just finished writing my paper for child psych. I had to write about some tasks that I did on Haylee and Justin. They were tasks that help you see what kind of cognitive developmental stage they are in and how they understand and interpret things. Very interesting. But, I finished it so I can turn it in Friday for 12 extra credit points. Oh yeah!! Anywho. I've got to get a move on. I'm meeting Kyle after his class so we can go to Ocala. The temporary tag tore off the bike on his way home, so we have to go get a new one. Ugh...I hate driving to Ocala. And it'll be in rush hour...  Have an awesome night! |

Time: 6:30 A.M. Music: Morning Flakes morning show on Kiss 105 My baby is sick. He called me at 6 this morning saying he was lonely. (He actually called me at 5:30, but my phone didn't connect for some reason.) He said that he just had this feeling of stress and anxiety all over his body. He said he had a dream that added to it. He's just stressed out for no reason. It's really weird. I wish I could be with him so bad. We both got sick at the end of the week, but he's definitley got it worse than me. They sent him home from work last night. He's really congested, has a bad cough, and just aches. I feel so bad for him. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. I think I had the worst of mine on Saturday. I slept in that morning, but I was still tired the whole day. I went over to Kyle's and ended up sleeping about an hour. Then I came home when he had to go to work. I was supposed to meet up with Cassie, but her horse show was running late, so we just decided to go out next weekend. So, in leiu of that, I ended up sleeping the rest of the afternoon. I think I slept from about 3 to 7. I felt a lot better yesterday, although I was still congested. I felt well enough to drive into town and bought this really hot outfit. I feel okay this morning; still a little congested. No where near as bad as Kyle. I told him he needs to stay home from class today and just get some rest. I would take him to the doctor, but I have to work today, and I know he won't go. He wouldn't go unless he was dying. LOL...he's just that stubborn. It seems to be a little cold outside this morning...31 degrees!! Brr..... There's a little bit of frost on the ground. I wish the stupid weather would make up its mind. I think that's why everyone is getting sick. But they say it's supposed to start warming back up today and the rest of the week, so that's nice.  The Gator basketball team is going to the Final Four! Oh yeah, baby!! GO GATORS!!!Oh, let's see. We have roughly, four and a half weeks left of class! I'm so happy. I'm so ready for this semester to be over. I just really hope I get into the radiology program this fall. If not, I don't know what I'm going to do. I'll go out of my mind!!! Well, anywho. That's all that's going on in my world right now. I've got class in a few hours, and then I'll be at Kyle's taking care of him until I have to go to work at 2. Take care everyone, and have an awesome day!

I'm so glad the weekend is here! This week wasn't bad or anything; I'm just glad to see the weekend here. I think Kyle and I are both sick. I think it's this sudden change in weather. It's been in the high 80s for the past few weeks, and now it's been raining and cooling down to the 30s....yeah. My throat has been hurting a little since Wednesday, and I've been congested. Well, at work last night, Kyle came over and asked if I had anything I could give him for a cold. I was like, "Not you too." He called me after I had gotten home last night and he said he thought he might have a fever.  At least we'll be sick together.I have to work at 12 today. I'm only working until 7, so I'm not there too entirely long today. I'm just glad I'm not there until 8. That last hour at the other store is always the longest. We seriously sit and watch the clock. I came home early yesterday. We were dead the whole day. Got some inventory done, since it's next month. But I left about and hour early. There just wasn't anything to do. My computer has been being really stupid lately. It hasn't been wanting to connect to the internet. It's really annoying because I need to do some research and do my online stuff. I was surprised I could actually connect today. But I think the connection is so slow (I have dial-up) that it won't connect to my online work site. So, I'm probably going to go to Kyle's tomorrow morning and do some work before he goes to work, or I'll hit up the lab at school. I'm looking at another job right now. It's at a dental lab, and they train you in what you need to know. It pays $8+ and hour and there are benefits. Plus it's a full time job, Monday through Friday. That would be really nice right now...a full time job. And I would be making more than what I am now. I don't even make $8 yet! I haven't had a chance to run over there yet, one, because I've been working, and two, because I'm not quite sure where it is. Anywho. I need to get a move on. Have a great weekend!

Hello, all! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Let's play catch up! Thursday, my mom wasn't feeling well and had blurred vision, so my dad took her to the ER (on his b-day). Come to find out she had a mini stroke. Yeah...I was pretty shaken up. So, we ended up eating here at the house for dad's birthday. Got up Friday and got things ready for the beach. We all left around 9. Got there around 11 and got what groceries we needed and had some lunch at Bennigan's. Went to check in to the hotel I reserved and they told us we couldn't stay there because we weren't 25. So, I had to let Kyle handle all the calling to hotels.com to change everything and get a new hotel. I was too stressed at that point to do anything. Kyle got us another hotel for the same price; only problem was, it wasn't on the beach. So we ended up at a hotel about 20 minutes away from the beach, but it was the only other one in our price range. Got to the hotel and checked in and got settled. Some of us went to the pool while others hung out in the room. We went back to the room later and got showers and changed. Luckily we didn't have to drive anywhere for food...there was a Winghouse right next door. So, we had dinner there with some drinks. Good times. After dinner we went back to the hotel and just hung out, drinking and watching TV. We got up Saturday, checked out and went to Denny's for breakfast. Since there was nine of us, it took forever to get seated. So we didn't get out of there until around noon. Left there and went to the beach. It was so nice!! Very windy! Kyle and I didn't stay long because his family from TX is in town, so we left to spend time with them. We got home around 6 and had dinner. After dinner, all the "young" people went out to Gators Dockside for a good time. Yesterday I slept in because I was so worn out from working all last week, and then our trip. Met up with Kyle in the afternoon and went to the mall. Had dinner with his family again, and then I came home. Today was nothing special. Back to classes.  I ended up dropping my biology class because I didn't do better on the test we just had. So, I sold back my book (I got ripped off....only $44 for a $100+ book). Kyle and I went to lunch at Schlotsky's and then I had to work 2-6.Now I'm home and am relaxing. I'm really tired tonight. I took a nap between classes because I was so tired. Think I'll probably go to bed early tonight. I have a lot of stuff I need to do. My laundry is overflowing its basket, especially after this weekend. I need to do a book report for my online class (and then I'll be finished!) and write a paper for my child psych class. I need to write a thank you letter, pay some bills, print pictures and update my scrapbook. I need to do all kinds of stuff, but I should have plenty of time to do it this weekend. I don't have to work too late Friday, and Kyle will be working all weekend, so I'll have a lot of time to myself. Maybe I'll go shopping. It's getting warm down here, so I need to get shorts! Well, toodles for now. Enjoy the night! |

I'm finally here, Sarah! Tadaa!!! I have one more day of work, and then it's off to the beach I go!! I can't wait. I have seriously worked all week long and I'm dead on my feet almost. I'm just ready for a week of rest and relaxation, and some time with my honey. I can't wait!! The sunshine and beach will do me good! So, yeah, I'm new here. This place seems pretty cool. Thanks to my good friend, Sarah, for suggesting it. I can't write much now because I need to get some rest before a long day at work tomorrow. I probably won't be back on until after the weekend. I have work 11-6:30 tomorrow, and then we are going out for my dad's 46th birthday. I'll get home late probably and then will have to finish packing. Then Friday morning, it's off to the beach and I probably won't be back until Saturday or Sunday! Wahoo!! Anywho. It's great to be here! I look forward to meeting people and catching up with you, Sarah! Hope you're doing well!! Love ya! Toodles! |
