If you're like me you enjoy watching inspiring shows, so when I tuned in to the new series of "Secret Life of a Soccer Mom," it inspired me. After watching it, I pulled out my old dusty burgundy suitcase, and do you know what laid inside? Drafting supplies...Oh how I wished I could massage the cold metal of a drafting table again. It was my first urge, my first true desire, my first longing, in a long time. Ya know, to even think about going back to college after 5 years was extremely scary. I discussed my fears and goals with my husband, on why I wanted to go back to school. For me, it was totally understandable why he was a little reluctant, it was only because he knew my desire to not go back in the past, and he wanted to respect my wishes. He really wanted me to go for myself, and not for other naive reasons. After I explained this longing to him, we set out a "game plan." The next day I started requesting brochures and such from different schools for Architecture, and I came across the Interior Designer career path. Shoot, Interior Designer? Me? Haha I don't want to be a decorator, I want to make a difference, know what I mean? The research I did in the days to come enlightened me because an Interior Decorator and a Interior Designer are not the same at all. After visiting schools and researching more, I have never felt so sure of a career in my life, than this path that I wanted to embark on. It's definitely going to be a change for me and my family but we are ready, so BRING IT ON!
Until next time...

Hurt People Hurt People
Hurt People Hurt People
Current Mood: Understanding
Listening: Oprah Winfrey Show-"Bill Cosby Calls Out the 'Dirty Laundry'"
I am so understanding of why I do things sometime...things I never understood until I watched the Opray Winfrey show today. Just some personal things about my relationship with my father...I mean the relationship I never had with my father, and how it has impacted me today. I am going to buy Bill Cosby's book, "Come On People," because I think it would be an excellent addition to my library. It is definitely a must read.
You can also go to Youtube.com to see a few speeches. I think they are only Part 1 and 2 but I'm not quite sure. I know he did a speech at High Point University, and CMU, but I'm not sure what else, just take a few minutes and check it out!

I figured out my password:)
Just venting
Current mood: 
betrayed
Why should i try to rekindle old friendships when they were never meant to be in the first place?! I'm a nice person a little too nice I care a little to much of what people think of me...I want everyone to like me but why?! Some people are never satisfied some people will always find a way to TRY to put you down or find something wrong with you. So fuck people in general...yea i said it. I'm tired of trying to make everyone feel good/welcome or whatever wtf...what about me?! I have two beautiful children; I have a sexy wonderful husband who has brought out the best in me. I am blessed so very blessed :) and my brothers, sisters, mom, and grandma who love me and would do anything for me and vice versa so you know what fuck everyone else.
If you didn't know now you know haha
Don't get me wrong i'm a fun person to hang around, unless you get on my bad side...like someone who enraged me...
anywho i was just venting. I'm just tired of people running over me. I'm tired of the lies the drama. But the big one is I'm tired of trusting people...letting people in when they will only hurt you in the end
No responses necessary I was only just venting and two lazy to figure out my blogspot password lol yea it's been a while

And for day two...
Each time I walk past room 308 in my mind I hear that "freddy" music ya know dun dun dun dun haha I hope that crazy guy has already gone.
Success ladys and gents!! Success!
We actually looked at a few apartments that weren't right for us but we also set up alot of appointments with leasing agents for tomorrow and I'm so excited. Originally the only places we could find on the net were priced at 1300-1600 and I am so relieved that alot of them...alot of nice ones here are actually 800-930. Can you believe it!
And what about this weather?! Now I know why they call it "The windy city."
You know what else?
I FREAKIN LOVE CHICAGO
I'm in love with it actually everything about it here. In Indiana you have to deal with stupid comments and looks and people being ignorant. We haven't got any of that here and It's just a beautiful city with lots to do and see, and alot of new things to eat.
And it's great that most of it is free.
Guess what?! All of the hype that you have heard about Chicago food is true!
I have one word for you GIORDANO'S. OMGosh people this pizza is freakin awesome I had to take a photo of it, and I'm going to make a scrapbook layout of it...I know I know I'm weird haha.
It was their world famous stuffed crust pizza and it was about a inch thick I kid you not. I'm so mesmerized that I want everyone to experience the greatness of Giordano's pizza!
Better yet Chicago!

Day one in the search of becoming a Chicago suburbanite
When we arrived my body told me that it was 12:00am
my laptop clock told me that it was 12:00am
but the clock at my bedside told a different story...
We arrived in Chicago, finally, and already we are in our third room.
The front desk gave us a room we went to it and opened it then an angry man ran toward the door while screaming 'get the *blank* out. The door had a latch on it but the whole situation was still insane! Our second room, we got in and got settled and then the heater wouldn't work so we were moved again. As disappointed as i was as soon as i opened the door to the new room, my disappointment disappeared. This room is awesomely nice! Cool beans.
I MISS MY BABIES!!!!But I know they are having fun with their grandma but it's just hard since I didn't get to tuck them in at night. I have always tucked them in at night or have been their as their father did it. *sniff sniff*
I MISS MY LITTLE ANGELS EXTREMELY

Just for today...
*Just for this morning, I am going to step over the
laundry, and pick you up and take you to the
park to play.
*Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in
the sink, and let you teach me how to put that
puzzle of yours together.
*Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the
telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with
you in the backyard and blow bubbles.
*Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not
even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine
for the ice cream truck and I will buy you one
if he comes by.
*Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about
what you are going to be when you grow up, or
second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.
*Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me
bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying
to fix them.
*Just for this afternoon, I will take us to
McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so
you can have both toys.
*Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms
and tell you a story about how you were born
and how much I love you.
*Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the
tub and not get angry.
*Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late
while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.
*Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you
for hours, and miss my favorite TV shows.
*Just for this evening when I run my finger
through your hair as you pray, I
will simply be grateful that GOD has given me the greatest gift
ever given.
*I will think about the mothers and fathers who
are searc hing for their missing children, the
mothers and fathers who are visiting their
children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and
mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms
watching their children suffer senselessly, and
screaming inside that they can't handle it
anymore.
*And when I kiss you good night I will hold you
a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will
thank GOD for you, and ask Him for nothing,
except one more day............

Ladies she's talking crazy
Man it's not going so good...I sent my rent check in the mail (it was so naive of me!) and someone cashed it...can you believe it?! That sucks it was a lot of money and now my landlord is talking crazy. She says that has nothing to do with her which is stupid because someone cashed her check...it had her name on it. I think that has a lot to do with her don't you?! Thankfully the bank is checking it out as we speak...running a trace on it so that gives me a little relief. It makes me wonder...hmmm did she cash it or someone she knew. Is she being deceptive? I mean she lives in Virginia and I'm in Indiana. Nothing has been fixed...nothing at all. We had a verbal agreement before we moved here and every thing's still the same, including a rusty pole and dangerous wires that are exposed. They can put my children's lives in danger...wait wait I mean they are outside and I make sure that my children don't go near them, the rare times that we have been outside.
...or maybe I'm just starting to talk crazy what do you think?!
I don't know I just thank GOD so much that we only signed a 6mo lease and I am so ready to move from this horrible house! We will be moving to Chicago...I think Schaum burg because guess what?!
Justin got the Job!
I am so excited and ready to take on this journey in our lives! A new place and a awesome salary. This is the beginning of the rest of our lives!!!
Until next time...

So Yea...
Wow Justin will be flying to Chicago Thursday night to stay at a hotel, since he will have to be at his future place of employment at 7am., and he'll come back Friday night. I'm excited. Friday I will know more about the rest of our lives so I'm super excited and not stressed anymore
I was extemely stressed the past few days and I didn't know why and then I started my period haha so that explains alot.
I have noticed that the morning before I start I always get really crabby, it's like a pattern now not to mention being pregnant for 18mo nursing for 17 (Cece for 7mo and JJ for 10mo.) I haven't had one in forever...That was something that I was happy to see go, considering the horrible cramps I would get. They would be so bad that I would just curl up in bed in so much pain. Pain from my abdomen down to my toes and when I couldn't take it anymore i'd go to the hospital they would give me some really heavy pain killers. You know nothing ever worked for my cramps not any kind of over the counter pain killers, heating pads, nothing. Although they did take the edge off...not that that was much.
WHOA WHOA WHOA I am off on a tanget so anywho...
I'll be gone maybe until Saturday morning...so yea...

waiting is my nemisis
dO yOU kNOW wHAT i'M rEALLY tIRED oF?
Justin is usually in school anywhere from 7am-12pm he'll get home about 6pm and then he has to go to work from 6:15pm to 10:30pm...That sucks.
I know that he's doing this for us and if I wanted him to be home more he would be but then it would be me going to work. and he doesn't want me to have to.
I know we will only have one more month of these before he gets his Computer Analyst job or whatever he does with computers then he'll be home alot more.
I just need to suck it up and wait huh...but waiting is my nemesis...

I'm tired
I'm tired
Tired of bills, dishes, sweeping, vacuuming, naps, sippy cups, cooking, children shows, toys that I'm always stubbing my toe on, spills that I'm always slipping on, being peed, puked, and pooped on, of everything!
I was kind of hesitant to write a post today because I don't want anyone to think(If anyone reads my posts at all) that I'm tired of my kids and husband. Don't get me wrong I love the family life I just want a break. I want to go to the movies with Justin, to dinner...just the two of us...does that sound bad? I guess at this point in time there's just so much to think about, that I'm thinking about and a lot of changes that are about to occur...it's kind of stressful.
Now back to the peed and puked part...I guess it's different at night when I tuck them in to bed. I get to come out to the living room and breathe a sigh of relief...I guess this is the time that I have with my husband.
And dinner It's neat for Cece to always want to help and with baths she loves to help with that...I guess It's not as bad as it seems so I guess I'll hurry and hit "Publish Post" before I change my mind.

Whoa that's deep...
I'm not a mean person
I'm too nice at times
genuine
an excellent listener
I'm a great friend
and the few who can call me friend...I mean who I can call friend as well
they know...does that make sense?
I'm very trustworthy but it's hard to trust people
because...well because I've been hurt in the past
scratch hurt...I've been battered and bruised my heart has been scarred, by these so called "friends." And I will always remember that pain...So it's hard for me to trust..
I justdon't like rejection ...I HATE rejection
Wow that was kind of hard to say whoa that's deep...I was just sitting here thinking and I typed all of that above. My daughter fell off of her bed so I went in to comfort here.
I'm so glad, I'm so happy that I have my family!
Justin has showed me how to trust and love does that make sense?
I remember the person I was when and before I met him and I'm glad that I have changed
Since I have been with him I have changed tremendously.
It's not like it was anything bad, it was just my mindset of people in general.
Because of the way I have been treated...
do you know what I mean?

Bye-Bye Indiana Hi Chicago!!
Hey Everyone How's it going?
Cece's birthday was yesterday 9/28/07
My baby girl is two!
We didn't do too much only because JJ's Birthday is exactly 2wks from Cece's so we are having them together in Marion. What fun!
I'm going to be gone again Mon-Sat I will be here tomorrow but Sundays are my time with GOD!!
That means no cell phone no nothing!
Justin and I are discussing where we will be moving after he graduates, either Cincinnati or Chicago. We ruled out New York, Wisconsin, Dayton, and Indianapolis.
I'm so excited! I've had to much of Lafayette...too much of Indiana it's over-rated. I'm ready to move. Come to think of it Angie's right we need to find out where we will be living first...I better get on it!

I have been trying the relaxation thing
It's been awhile since I have posted. Don't get me wrong I have lots of things to say, points to make, wisdom to give, but I have been trying the relaxation thing, you know since it is not in my vocabulary and I must say it's awesome! I should try it more often then maybe I wouldn't be so irritable!
So what's been going on?
-Well JJ was in the corner munching on a piece of fuzz like it was dove chocolate or something haha
-Ms Cece and I have conversations now. She is growing up so much. Kids say the darnest things.
-I'm going to a quinceanera for my niece Saturday so I'm excited about that. I'm handling the photos. I have a spiffy SLR and lots of batteries and film. Watch me go!
-We have 2 birthdays coming up exactly 2 weeks from each other, and I need to decide if I will have them in Marion or here in Lafayette if it's in Marion we will have more people attend if in Lafayette I'm not sure where we would have it hmmm what do you think?
Until next time...

Very rare indeed
Now that the commercials are over how about that weather?
At night its horrible. It's so cold but if it were winter it would be hot haha Isn't that funny?
Wow can you believe that I have nothing to say at this one moment in time?
This is very very rare! Maybe I'll come along later and make another post about society or maybe even the environment :) until then TTFN Ta Ta For Now!
OMG I can't believe I just said that you know since I'm so against Tigger hehe

Breastfeeding in public. Excellent Commercial!! Read On!
You guys there was comments in a Babytalk magazine about this very issue. It was horrible what people were saying. Things like "mothers who breastfeed in public should be arrested for indecent exposure" the nerve of so many small minded people. After I read that I joined the "Breastfeeeding In Public" committee and LeLeche League (although Le LEche League was mainly to meet other mothers :)) Now that I don't breastfeed my son anymore (he kinda weaned himself at 10mo.) I kind of moved on but this is still a very important issue that should not be taken lightly!!! So thanks to all the mothers that feel the same way!! ~MrsReynolds07
I'm thankful for not having boobs thrown in my face all the time by offensive and indecent breastfeeding mothers like the ones below:
Wait...Well, this is a bad example. Let's try again.
Hmm...Just a minute. I'm sure I can find better ones than these...
Eh, still not offensive enough. I'll check one more time.
That is better. LOOK AT THAT! I see about a half inch of boob. DISGUSTING.
UGH. Look at that indecency! She must be from some third world country to be exposed like that!
Now that's just...There are no words to descripe how inappropriate that is. Something needs to be done!
But why stop at breasfeeding women? There are boobs everywhere. Beware! If you thought the above photos were offensive, you WILL DEFINITELY be offended by the photos below.
Not this one, though. This one was in plain view on news stands and in mail boxes in 19 countries world wide!
Not this one, either. This one actually won an award!
Oh, and I guess this one is fine too. Everyone knows you can't sell jeans without someone being topless.
Or beer, for that matter.
Or sunglasses.
Or movie tickets.
Or CDs...
You know what? Maybe I'm crazy, but I think that someone mixed up some photos here. The first batch are offensive, but the second batch are just fine and dandy???
People who live in glass bras:
Shouldn't throw stones:

I'm thankful for not having boobs thrown in my face all the time by offensive and indecent breastfeeding mothers like the ones below:
Wait...Well, this is a bad example. Let's try again.

The Price of Children
This is just too good not to pass on to all. Something absolutely positive for a change. I have repeatedly seen the breakdown of the cost of raising a child, but this is the first time I have seen the rewards listed this way. It's nice.
The government recently calculated the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 and came up with $160,140 for a middle income family. Talk about sticker shock! That doesn't even touch college tuition.
But $160,140 isn't so bad if you break it down. It translates into:
* $8,896.66 a year,
* $741.38 a month, or
* $171.08 a week.
* That's a mere $24.24 a day!
* Just over a dollar an hour.
Still, you might think the best financial advice is don't have children if you want to be "rich."
Actually, it is just the opposite. What do you get for your $160,140?
* Naming rights. First, middle, and last!
* Glimpses of God every day.
* Giggles under the covers every night.
* More love than your heart can hold.
* Butterfly kisses and Velcro hugs.
* Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies.
* A hand to hold, usually covered with jelly or chocolate.
* A partner for blowing bubbles, flying kites
* Someone to laugh yourself silly with, no matter what the boss said or how your stocks performed that day.
For $160,140, you never have to grow up. You get to:
* finger-paint,
* carve pumpkins,
* play hide-and-seek,
* catch lightning bugs, and
* never stop believing in Santa Claus.
You have an excuse to:
* keep reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh,
* watching Saturday morning cartoons,
* going to Disney movies, and
* wishing on stars.
* You get to frame rainbows, hearts, and flowers under refrigerator magnets and collect spray painted noodle wreaths for Christmas, hand prints set in clay for Mother's Day, and cards with backward letters for Father's Day.
For $160,140, there is no greater bang for your buck. You get to be a hero just for:
* retrieving a Frisbee off the garage roof,
* taking the training wheels off a bike,
* removing a splinter,
* filling a wading pool,
* coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs, and coaching a baseball team that never wins but always gets treated to ice cream or pizza regardless.
You get a front row seat to history, to witness the:
* first step,
* first word,
* first bra,
* first date, and
* first time behind the wheel.
You get to be immortal. You get another branch added to your family tree, and if you're lucky, a long list of limbs in your obituary called grandchildren and great grandchildren. You get an education in psychology, nursing, criminal justice, communications, and human sexuality that no college can match.
In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there under God. You have all the power to heal a boo-boo, scare away the monsters under the bed, patch a broken heart, police a slumber party, ground them forever, and love them without limits. So, one day they will, like you, love without counting the cost. That is quite a deal for the price!!!!!!!
Love & enjoy your children & grandchildren!!!!!!!
