Full house and Busy busy busy......

I know I need to stay up on on my blogs more offen. A few things have happened, all of which Ernie and I knew and were waiting for.

Ernie and I have full guardianship over Amanda as of July 5,2012. I have to say its the best thing that could have ever happen to her. (so people think its the worst decision she ever made) But like I told Amanda she was very wise Ernie and I well make sure she gets the education she needs. But Ernie and I are having her work on her grades they are very poor right now. She's getting on the right track now tho, so she should be graduating with her class.

Andrew and Elizabeth love having Amanda around. Their both doing very well. They're driving me nuts but I guess thats their job. *sigh*Andrew starts second grade this year. He's really excided. Just have to wait till elizabeth can go.

I only have a few more months then I'll be done with school. I have a 3.29 gpa Which is pretty good I think. This month my arms have been poked a lot were doing blood draws so my arms are all brused and have needle marks. But I'm doing pretty well I get all my blood draws for the most part. It's a rush. Today in class we got to play with blood clots. It was so much fun. I can't wait to get to do it tomorrow.

 

School the Triple A's and the double E's

So it's been about a month or almost two since I let you into whats going on around me. Boy oh boy where do or should I start?? I'll keep it simple and start were I left off in my last post.

School~

So the meeting with Ross Medical went very well. I am a full time student. Monday thru Friday 8:15a.m. to 12:45p.m. I'm almost done with my first mod next week is my last week, then we move on to another one. so far I've had all A's or B's on my work/ test. except one test I got a C's on. Which I was so mad about, I'm still really mad about it. I can deal with B's I would rather have all A's but if I can't have an A I want B's. C's are not acceptable. Not for as much as I'm paying for my classes anyhow. But enough about school for now.

Work~

Work still sucks. I mean come on its a stupid gas station. I get my crap done but the boss is never and I mean never happy. She bitches about everything. I get certain customers that like clock work their in there every night about the same time which of course we talk. I can't help that my customers love me. Of course she bitches about it. The said thing is I run circles around her. She's a shitty boss anyhow, she'll run her mouth to everyone else in the store and wont say a thing to me about whatever wasn't done or whatever the problem is. I always hear it from everyone else and I always tell them the same thing. I'll believe it when she actually acts like a manager and has the balls to tell me to my face. Which well never happen cause she knows I can call her out on a bunch of shit to. She'll lose that battle. 

Family~ 

As if you couldn't tell from my post on facebook already, Ernie and I are adopting Amanda. She needs to have parents that actually care about her and will teacher her the things that she needs to know for the real world. Not sitting there and yell at her for every little thing she does. What do you know... we somehow find time to help her with her school work, so she can actually get her grades up.

( Some people shouldn't have the right to have kids. The sad thing is her mom actually just kicked her out of the house then went all childish and removed her from facebook. She didn't even wish her Happy Birthday on her 16th birthday. That is what I call a shitty parent. No matter how mad you are at your child you shouldn't cut off all ties. I still can't figure out why she would say Amanda's so bad. Ya I have to get after her every once in a while but she's a normal teenager. I feel bad for the other two kids in that house, but then if the kids were actually disciplined they wouldn't be so horrible acting. But her reason for everything is that they have autism. Hate to break this to her but my cousin has serve autism. All those two kids need are rules that are actually enforced as well as punishments.) Sorry went off on a rant....

Andrew and Elizabeth are doing really good. Elizabeth's pretty much fully potty trained andrew's almost done with 1st grade. But our families growing by one more. :) Ernie and I are doing really good just really busy. Between school and work and filling out all the paper work that needs to be filled out it seems we're always on the run.

New Changes

The last two days have been extremely busy. Monday I had an appointment at 8:15a.m. with Ross Medical School, I had Ernie go with me. Things couldn't have went better. It amazes me how perfect of a fit that school actually is. Which made it even easier for me to decided that that's where i wanted to go. With that decision made Ernie and I went back today and filled out the finical aid paperwork. I'm taking the Medical Assistant course. It's a 7 month course, I start Monday April 30, 2012 and I will be graduating Thursday November 29, 2012. Fast pace but it's what i need its pretty much all hands on, which is even better. So I'm already on the right track to a better life, I have tons of support. I qualified for the max of every loan which was a nice relief. So now its just time for me to take a little breather until school starts. *sigh*

Spring?

Spring is a time for everything to wake up and the prefect time for a fresh new start. Sometimes this can be a tricky thing to balance. New things require patience, time, and a lot of attention depending on what the object is.(kinda sound like a woman doesn't it? lol) But anything that grows needs these things. Michigan springs make this even more difficult. Anyone that lives in Michigan knows what I'm talking about. If you don't I'll explain. Living in Michigan you learn that you always keep a coat or blanket in your vehicle. Just because it's 80 and sunny when you leave the house in the morning doesn't mean it's not going to be 25 and snowing when you leave. (I think you get the point now).

This year I've been really busy already. I have two roses planted some flowers and vegetables. Which I'm starting to think I might have lost the ones in the pots because of all the rain we just got. So it's back to the drawing board. That's if i can't save them i am going to try tho. I still have a lot that I do need to plant I should be out there today maybe I'll go out a little later. I've already mowed the lawn twice this year. The yard still needs a little work. Mainly in front of the house and around the deck. But I am very pleased with how things are coming along.

Just like the yard the inside of the house is slowly coming along as well. About a week ago Ernie mounted the t.v. to the wall and put the shelf up. It looks really nice. There still are a few things that need to be done like the drywall on the outside walls but it'll happen in time. cause then there's painting and we're going to get those cord covers so there's not cords all over the wall like there is now. We have more done then what I figured we would. For only being here for 6 months we have a lot more then what I figured. But I'm not complaining at all it's nice.

Another thing about spring besides all the new and fresh things. Elizabeth is going to be 3. Can you believe it my little baby girl is going to be 3 in 10 days. Didn't we just bring her home? It feels like it. She's getting the potty training thing she's not doing to bad with it now. Of course an accident here and there. But now how to make it special for her??

Somethings been sitting very heavy on my mind. Ernie and I talking about it last night and I know he'll help me out and support me. I know I have friends that well also support me. Right now I know I have a dead end job. But it's money coming in which is better then nothing. I'm toying with the idea of going to school. It's scares the ever loving shit out of me. It really does. I know I can do it. I just have to decided what area I want. So if I seem like I'm out of it or scatter brained that's why my minds going in a million different directions. I'm gonna be 28 in 5 months and i need to do something already.

When I was working for Renaissance I enjoyed my work I just hated the people I worked with. A bunch or children that didn't give to shits about the work they had to do and I get fired. Fuck them! (sorry if you cant tell I have a grudge with that company). Ernie did call me out on that holding me back from doing what I really want to do. He's right i was letting it effect me. Time to find that game face again. Guess I'm going to find out who my real friends are. I have an idea of the ones that well keep pushing me. I want to say Thank you now *hugs*

*Sigh*

I don't know really where to start There's a lot and I mean a lot going on... I know its been for ever since I've typed anything. Losing Grandpa (my dad's dad) really took its toll on me. Then I found out not long after that my grandma (my mom's mom) was in the hospital It took a little while but they figure out what was wrong with her. She has Bullous Pemphigoid so mom and dad are moving her in with them now, So they can keep a closer eye on her.

This goes without saying but with a heavy heart I decided that its time to sell my truck. I don't regret deciding that this is the best choice since it is just way to small. I can say that I am going to miss the hell out of it tho. It was either keep my truck and sell the car or sell the car and keep my truck. The smart choice is to keep the car. It has more room in it so it only makes sense. Plus we won't be without a truck since Ernie's going to be buying on this year. But the money I get from selling the truck is going to go into the little work the car needs then the left over money maybe I'll get a tattoo or two. I'll just have to wait and see.....

On another note... This weekend is an exciting one!!!! Amanda's winterfest this this Saturday! I can't wait to see her all dressed up it's going to be so much fun. (Yes I'm going to take a lot of pictures!!) The dress looks so nice on her. She's such a good kid, I love having her around. Some people just can't seem to understand that she just 15 she needs to be able to be a teenager and this is just one of those teenager things. Friday after she gets out of school her and I have to go up and pick up some last minute things. Then mess around with her hair a bit.

I love you grandpa

I guess I'm slacking,,,,

Once again I'm falling behind in my blogs. It is starting to bug me cause really its the only way for me to get my thoughts out. Not to mention its a good way to keep track of things that have happen. Not to mention sometimes i have a lot to say depending on whats going on.

We finally moved it was a fast move to. We're on the other side of the park. It's a lot nicer over here more kids for Andrew and Elizabeth to play with. Not to mention I love the house its nice we all have our own rooms and two bathrooms. To top it all off it only needs little things done to it little drywall work Ernie says it isn't a big deal at all. Of course thank you to Roberta and Terry for helping us move it really does mean a lot to us.

Ernie finally got out of retail. (Thank god!!!) He's now doing the same thing as me, today he's finishing his classes I'm very happy for him he got a 96% on his med test. From what I understand he likes it so far. I hope that its something he'll like doing its a good field to be in. But we're off to a good start with him liking it right now so that's a plus.

So not to long ago I picked up a kitten. Oh course Ernie named it. Which it's name is fitting Snicker's but it does look like a snickers bar lol. Karma likes her the kittens always grabbing her nose. It's pretty funny.

Right now I'm getting some mad hours at work. Which mainly has to do with something I did. I got a girl fired for smoking weed on the clock. That's one thing that pisses me off, What people do on their own time is them but there's no reason to being doing that at work our job isn't stressful by any means. She should have seen it coming I told her the first day I worked with her if she ever told me she was smoking weed on the clock I would file a report on her. So what does the dumb-ass do tells me she took to hits. But of course it's every ones fault but her own. When well people grown up?? So for now everyone at work likes me cause I did something none of them had the balls to and that's call and report which if i have to i'll do it again. I'm not having the people I take care of every night get hurt because someone can't wait 8hours to get home to be stupid.

Well that's pretty much it for right now I think. I promise I'll try not to wait 2 months before i post again. lol
