Welcome to technology

Well today i will start this mobile blog! Really don't know if anyone is still reading this but have had lots going on. Today ... my oldest daughter is trying out for coquettes ... i am sooo proud of her for trying something new!
I have had alot going on myself. I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia ... and i have to say ... it SUCKS!  This constant pain is already getting old! Everytime i move i sound like breaking glass and my muscles hurt so bad most days i just wanna lay in a ball and cry. Well i guess life goes on. I have to stay strong a d keep on smiling. My family depends on me.
Krissy and Lori are both good .... just everyday life. Bill is wanting to change jobs but can't seem to make a decision ... change is so hard for him! 
Well guess that's all for today. Hope everyone is well!

Busy Busy Week

Ok... It has definitely been one of those weeks !!!! My best friend has been in the hospital for 9 days and I have had her 3 boys for the last 5 days. I never thought it was possible to lose your mind so quickly, but I am well on my way. So, add her 3 boys to my 3 girls and you get 6 kids in a house that carries sound very well. I have been trying to keep up with homework, housework, and everything else, but I think I am ready for them to go home tomorrow. I love being able to help her out, but I am ready for things to go back to normal. I have a feeling that I am definitely going to have to get my drunk on this weekend. I haven't done that for a long time and I think that I have most certainly earned it. Wish me luck and pray that I make it through one more night. I am so glad that she pulled through ok with her surgery. She gave us all quite a scare. I do hope that this put a few things into perspective for her though and that she learns to live life a little fuller rather than staying cooped up in her house 24/7.

Long Time No Talk

Wow... So much has been going on since the last time I

posted on my Blog. I am not really sure where to begin. I can't believe I have neglected this for 2 years! I will give the short version to save you all from utter and complete boredom. In the last 2 years I continued my employment with the Missouri Department of Corrections. I recently resigned my position there in November of 2009, following an assault by 2 offenders. I was not hurt real bad, but it was enough to shake up my husband. They did not do me right when it happened. I was offered no time off, was not allowed to go out to the hospital due to lack of staffing, and was denied a temporary leave to decide what I wanted to do. To make matters worse, they are now fighting my unemployment.

Something positive has managed to blossom out of all of this though. I am now attending college full time online and working towards an Associate of Science degree in Graphic Design. I am very excited about the path that I have chosen. Although it has been 14 years since I graduated high school, I face each new assignment with optomism and determination. I absolutely love my design class and I am learning a lot and having a great time doing it.

Well, I hope that brings everyone up to speed a bit! The kids are all doing great, and Bill is still Bill. LOL We are just living life and trying to enjoy it as we go !!!

VEGAS BOUND...VEGAS BACK

OK....NOW I HAVE BEEN TO VEGAS....IT WAS OK... BUT NOT AS GREAT AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE... I HAD FUN...BUT AM VERY TIRED....HOOVER DAM WAS MY FAVORITE PART OF THE WHOLE TRIP.... I WOULD DO IT AGAIN...BUT NOT FOR A WHILE AND ONLY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS....THE SCENERY WAS GREAT SO I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE....

WORK ... WORK....WORK

HAVE YOU EVER HAD ONE OF THOSE JOBS THAT MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE NEVER HOME.... I NEVER REALIZED HOW MUCH MY LIFE AT HOME RESEMBLED MY NEW JOB AT THE PRISON... BASICALLY THEY ARE THE SAME...YOU HAVE TO BE FAIR, FIRM, AND CONSISTANT....YOU GET BACK TALK ALL THE TIME... YOU HAVE PEOPLE DOING STUPID THINGS THAT GET THEM IN TROUBLE....AND THE CONSEQUENCES CAN RANGE FROM NON-EXISTANT TO TIME OUT....LOL

I AM REALLY ENJOYING MY JOB....PEOPLE ALWAYS LOOK AT ME FUNNY WHEN I SAY THAT CUZ THEY WONDER HOW I CAN ENJOY BEING AROUND CRIMINALS 8 HOURS A DAY... THE TRUTH IS THAT IT IS BASICALLY LIKE BEING OUT ON THE STREETS...BECAUSE , AFTER ALL, DO WE EVER TRULY KNOW THE PEOPLE THAT WE MEET EVERYDAY. WE DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE AT HOME WITH THEIR OWN PEOPLE , AND I DON'T WANNA KNOW... JUST LIKE I DON'T WANNA KNOW WHAT THE OFFENDERS AT WORK ARE IN FOR... AS LONG AS I TREAT THEM ALL THE SAME, I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT.....AND NOW .....SOME ON THE JOB HUMOR......

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE YOU COME ACROSS HAVING TO WORK WITH SOMEONE THAT YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.....I HAVE MET PLENTY OF THESE AT THE PRISON....SO SOMETIMES WHEN I GET BORED I TRY TO FIND THE HUMOR IN THOSE AROUND ME.....THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE SOME OF THIS.....

WORKING WITH LENT
ON THIS GOD FORSAKEN HILL
IS A FAIT WORSE THAN DEATH
FROM WHICH YOU CAN'T HEAL

JACKING WITH HIS RADIO
REARRANGING HIS BELT
TALKING ABOUT GIANT COOKIES
AND HOW VIETNAM FELT(he's only in his 20's)

BUMMING ON MY CIGARETTES
EATIN ALL MY FOOD
CAN I HAVE ONE OF YOUR SODA'S?
I'M SO BROKE....BOODY - HOO

IF ONLY I HAD THE WORDS
TO DESCRIBE WORKING WITH LENT
OTHERS HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE
AND NOW KNOW WHAT I MEANT

I THOUGHT PERHAPS IT WAS ME
MAYBE I AM THE BITCH
BUT NO THAT'S NOT IT
I'M AT THE END OF MY WITS

ALL THE CRAZY VOICES
THE ENDLESS RAMBLING OF THOUGHTS
WON'T SOMEONE NORMAL CALL ME
I CAN FEEL MY BRAIN ROT

IS IT TIME TO GO HOME YET?
I KNOW THAT IT'S BEEN HOURS!
SHIT ! IT'S ONLY MIDNIGHT
I DON'T HAVE SUPER POWERS

I CAN'T STOP A SPEEDING BULLET
I'M NOT FASTER THAN A TRAIN
I CAN'T TAKE 8 HOURS OF NONSENSE
I JUST MIGHT GO INSANE

7:00 IS A LITTLE CLOSER
I MIGHT MAKE IT OUT ALIVE
TIME MUST HAVE GONE BY NOW
SHIT ! IT'S ONLY TWELVE O' FIVE

Almost Done

JUST ANOTHER POEM FOR YOU

Time Alone

--------------

My head hurts,
Please make it go away.
My heart is breaking,
I just can’t stand the pain.

The feeling of emptiness,
Is with me everyday.
When will this pain,
Start to fade away?

I need some time off.
I need some time alone.
Will you be okay,
If I leave you on your own?

I need to get away,
To redefine who I am.
I don’t remember anymore,
And no one gives a damn.

I do ! I care !
I miss me everyday.
I just need to be free.
I need to get away.
