So it has been a VERY long time since my last post, but things have been crazy since my last post.
Visiting my family and my first time(s) on a plane were not so bad. Is it something I would venture again probably, but I would probably be as worried if not more when getting on a plane again.
Heights and small spaces just arent my best of friends.
This year has been insane, starting the entire year, but finally some stress has gone, no details of course and no names either, but I am glad things are coming back to a sense of normalcy and that is a huge help in my stress levels.
Since I am the type that overly stresses to begin with, it is a big help that things are returning to a "normal" place.
I miss my family very much, but always do and I hope they know that.
This year I have put a lot of focus into my daughters school and helping out there. I have helped every year, which I am thankful I am able to do. But I enjoy working (or my form there of) at the school. Its a great thing.
Clubs and more clubs this year but that is perfectly fine with me, it keeps the little one busy and allows her to be around some of her friends more often which I am thankful for.
With everything that happened in the summer of 09 after our return from California, I am glad that she has this this school year to do.
Best of wishes to all for the remaining of this year! and much love.

June
June has stunk, in more ways that one, I have been overly stressed out, super tired, and have had so much going on that it is insane.
Right now, I am awaiting some tests and test results to see what our next step is with hubbies mom.
My head is a mess, my sanity is at its wits end, and I am just super stressed out.
I know why some of the reasons are, and am working on getting those fixed, to the best of my ability. I have managed to take away some stress, and am working on others.
I know that some of my worry is from getting on a plane in a short time. For the first time, I am afraid of planes, afraid of heights, afraid of closed in places, and very claustrophobic. But either way, I am super excited either way. I am going to see family, and spend time with family that I havent seen or spent time with in a while. Which is cool. And my daughter gets to meet more of our family, which is pretty cool as well.
Half way through the year, I have read my sister's update to her resolutions, and am as usual, very impressed. She is a very impressive wonderful person. And I am glad she is trying some new things.
My life is busy, and this summer I have been outside a lot. which is fine. I jsut thought I would update you on whats going on

Recently Realized
I have been under a lot of stress lately, as well as very irritable, and little things seem to set me off. Everyone has those times, I am not imagining it.
I have been having a really hard time sleeping lately, no big deal or so it seems, because I have never really slept well, only it is a big deal, I am MORE tired all the dang time waking up at 2 in the morning, just about every morning, and waking up at 12 this morning, What fun! I do manage to fall back asleep for like 15 minutes or so, then I am awake again, laying there trying to go back to sleep. It really sucks.
But the reason for this blog entry, my sister just wrote a blog not to long ago about what makes her tick. And after all this stuff going on, recent events made me want to write this blog and tell you something that really REALLY irritates me.
I have known for years, that people putting words in my mouth or volunteering me for something really aggravates me. But lately it has been getting under my skin more and more.
For Example, I like going on walks, and I do not mind taking my daughter and one of her friends with me when I go, however, one of her other friends, this past weekend, assumed I didnt mind, and NEVER asked me if it was alright if she went. Asked their parent if it was okay if they could go, and then I had to take them. The whole time they whined, and complained. And really got under my skin. I am not wrong in being irritated, I was not asked if this person could come in the first place. I was not asked if I wanted to go on a walk. I was told I was going on a walk (twice this week in fact) and then was told this child was coming along.
If you want to come along FINE, ASK ME, and if I say its okay, then ask your parent. Thats my point!
Another example my daughter came up to me Monday told me "we wanna go on a walk, lets go, and her (not inserting names) mom wont take us" There was NO, "Mom can you please go on a walk with us," No, "Mom we'd like to go on a walk, can you go with us" And more importantly no thank you in the end. More irritation ensues.
Breaking point. (hahah yeah its funny) Two days ago I was told there is a dance at my childs school coming up. No big deal. I was not told she wanted to go, she never said a word to me about going, until after she was asked by her dad if she wanted to go. THEN I was told I could take her. Not asked, not anything.
Ok, so maybe I am a bit overboard, but I do not like and will not be taken advantage of. I am a pretty nice person I think, and have a very giving heart. I am willing to do anything for friends and family. BUT ASK! DONT ASSUME.
Dont just think that because I am willing to do anything, that you can volunteer me to do something, without putting it across me first!
Oh yeah, I also to not like being talked Rude to, or being ignored. HA! Thus the main reason for a lot of the stress. Wont go into that, have done enough ranting for now
Yeah I am crabby, BFD, give me a break, I havent slept a lot lately, and everyone who knows me knows how Pleasant I am when I dont sleep.
And dont tell me to get over it. I am justified in feeling this way.

Online Games
No, not online gaming, just games that are online....more specifically myspace apps is what I am talking about.
I am very opinionated, no doubt about it right?! Well I have tried many many of the apps off of myspace, and let me tell ya something, its funny, none of the apps have managed to keep my attention for very long, none except for Super Poke Pets. I have played upwards of 30 applications/games off of that website, and only SPP has managed to keep my attention for a long time. The only game I still have besides that one is Mafia Wars, and that is only because I have recruited so many people on it... But SPP is the main game I play. :)
(imagine an evil laugh here)
So, to explain, its a virtual pet, not like super pets in some ways, because you can not fight other pets, but you can play with other pets, and you can design your own habitat, and collect things on there. It is a great game, and sadly, kind of addictive. I have found myself spending a lot of time on there trying to get this or that or the other. Not being able to completely find all I am looking for, because they sold out or were retired a long time ago, and no one wants to part with them, unless you have gold items (which costs real cash btw) And I can not spend our money on that. But the game is fun, decorating rooms and the sort. Every Thursday they come out with new items, and you earn coins by playing with other peoples pet, as well as your own. Its fun. I have gotten the little one into playing it, and she has adopted two pets, plus we have one on hubby's account as well.
So, here is a snapshot of my current habitat. I just wanted to share it, because I am quite amused with this game, and think its pretty fun and wonderful!
If you would like to play the game find it in the myspace app gallery, or click on my pet and add it....its really grrreat I tell ya.... And ADDICTING...

Winter Blues
Winter is a beautiful time of year, seeing the untouched snow, is absolutely amazing. And besides the cold, winter is actually nice.
Many people suffer from a depression, or depression symptoms that occur only during the winter, or worsen during the winter. Some would say it doesnt really exist or that people are just being dramatic.
Winter Blues, or whatever its medical term is, is an actual ailment. It exists. Dont doubt it.
Winter is a hard time of year for many people. I have seen my mom go through the winter blues every year. The winter always seems to be the worst time of year for her.
This year, I think it may have hit me too. The past few weeks, I have been very standoffish, so to speak, I have kept to me myself and my family, which isnt too unusual, but I have been feeling depressed, and I have felt a tremendous pressure on me (not a physical pressure, just an emotional one) Its hard to explain.
Times are tough all over the nation for everyone. And they seem to be getting only tougher. We are doing the best we can with what we have, but the pressure and stress sometimes gets to you.
I try my best not to let stress get to me at all, it doesnt work most of the time, because I am a pretty tightly wound person. Its just part of who I am. But I have also done my best to not let it show. Which sadly I have done a pretty good job of.
Anyway this week with my child being sick on top of all of this, has put me in more of a funk than I have been in, or so it feels to me, but I have also decided I needed to wake up and pull myself out, for family, for friends, for those who need me and who believe in me.
Winter blues exist people, dont let them get to you, and if they do, dont let them pull you down. And dont do what I have done, and stop emailing, talking to, and doing all that stuff. Especially if email is the only contact you have with certain people.
I am sorry for it. BUt I am doing my best to work through it.
I love you guys!

Music Lyrics.
Ok, I was just watching something on the tv, that really sort of pissed me off.
Not that they dont rag on Britney Spears enough, they found something else to complain about.
On one of her songs, "If you Seek Amy" Has that exact lyric in it, The chorus is:
"Love me, hate me
Say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If U Seek Amy
Love me, hate me
But can’t you see what I see?
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If U Seek Amy
Love me, hate me"
Ok big deal right, WRONG. The News Anchor that I was watching "Megyn Kelly" on Fox News (and apparently other news organizations) are making a big deal about it, because the way it is sung, it SOUNDS like she is saying
"All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to F- U - C- K Me"
And now the song faces a ban on radios, at least during the time when children listen to the radio.
Alright, here is what I have a complaint about.
There was a song out when I was a teenager, ALWAYS played on the Radio that says the following:
"If you're horny lets do it
Ride it my pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it
If you're horny lets do it
Ride it my pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it"
Clearing alluding to sex. So whats the big deal if the Britney Spears song may sound similar to her spelling out the"F-Bomb?" I have heard it in many songs, and I have no complaints. If they are going to sensor that song, then they need to sensor more songs than just that.
Parents complaining about the "If You Seek Amy" Song, is ridiculous. If you are really serious about it, go listen to some of the other songs your children are listening to, and try to interpret those too. Gosh before we know it, there will be no songs playing on the radio, because they all have some sort of inuendo or something.
GET A LIFE PEOPLE, I guess you all have to have something to complain about, but leave song and the lyrics alone.
If you dont want to, go back and analyze song lyrics from when you were younger you will realize they probably were hinting at things, or didnt mean what you thought they meant.
Britney Spears is a grown woman, as are any of these other singers that people want to pick on, she is entitled to sing whatever she wishes. If you don't like the song, turn the channel, or flip the radio off, and dont buy the cd, for yourself or your children. Protest it in that way, not by making a big to-do about it on television.
The News and the things people complain about with celebrities is stupid anymore. Give the people a rest, let them live their lifes, and let them do what they need to do. Besides being famous what more have they done that "Normal" People havent done.
Leave the friggin song alone!
Everyone has to have something to complain about, but gees that is completely stupid as far as sensoring a song, because of what it may sound like. As opposed to what the words actually are!

Update:To Snow or Not to Snow
Yeah, well it snowed, it came down in little tiny pellet like flakes. On the ground it looked like little pellets, it was quite interesting. Enough to dust, but not much more. BUT it is Very cold. It is 6:19 in the morning and only 9 degrees, supposed to remain about that the rest of the day.
Yesterday we had some MAJOR internet issues, of course we called our ISP, and got the run around, they said our modem wasnt even connected to their network, which was supposedly weird, because we had only just been disconnected. And the only way we are removed from the network is if we had had our modem off for like more than a day. Well this lovely even left us without interenet for 2 hours. Some lady from our ISP called and said that we should be back up, but there were reports from four other people in our area with the same problem. We came back up eventually, ran well better than usual I would say, then we went off again and came back on and then off and then back on and off again....SO they got some issues to work with. And because we are only residential we are not a priority to them. Doesnt that suck!
So who know whats going to happen there. I guess only time will tell.
Anyway, it did snow, not enough to accumulate a whole lot, only a light dusting like I said, but it was rather interesting none the less.
