Octo-Mom

I have to speak out about this octo=mom or it's going to build up and I'm going to explode!! I'm sitting here watching her interview w/ Dr. Phil and it just disgusts me! She is playing the victim in the situation, it's all about her well one day she is going to wake up and realize it's all about the children. She and her doctor have put all those kids in the worst position, it doesn't make her a bad person but come on you don't have a job, you have psychological issues, you live at your parents home with 6 kids 3 bedroom home. Why, why, why would you want to bring more kids into your world at this time? She is all show, giving Dr. Phil what she thinks he wants to hear but he sees right through it. She says she has had depression, I don't know how this won't put her back in that position. She is so neivea..thinking that it will be such a breeze because of all the teachers and her parents will be there to help her. She acts like she is no different than any other mother...right! You have 14 kids under the age of 7...if I'm not mistaken. How is this not different? I do hope I'm wrong and that everyone else out there doubting this woman is wrong; those children need all the hope and help they can get. I hope this mom steps up to the plate and makes the right decisions from now on, she's not Angelina Jolie that has all the money in the world to have all these kids. I'm done...I can't talk about this anymore! AAAHHHH!!!!

The Holidays

I haven't written in awhile and I had a little time to do so. I just want to point out how excited I am for this year's holiday's!! For Thanksgiving, Scott and I drove up to Minnesota to spend time w/ Rory and Kim. We had a blast! We made Thanksgiving dinner, went to Mall of America, IKEA, bar hopping downtown Stillwater (which is beautiful!), played trivia, and many other exciting activities! And for xmas this year we are going up to Milwaukee to spend with my family. This will be the first time in 2 years that my whole family will be together for the holidays. I believe the last time we were all together was at our wedding.
Scott and I just moved into our new apartment. We really like it, but right now it just feels like we are staying here not living here...does that make sense? We are very lucky too...our cat Caesar adjusted very well to his new surroundings. He has a lot more windows to sit in and stare down chipmonks and birdies!!
Well..I know this is short and sort of an odd blog but I gotta go! Scott gets off work early today and I want to have the shopping done before he gets home so we can hang:)
Happy Holidays Everyone!!!!

WoRk, FrIeNdS, aNd LiFe

I just want to say that I am so thankful for everyone in my life. I truly have some of the greatest friends I could possibly have. I shouldn't complain about life right now...it has gotten a lot better...I should say, we are not like we were. I am grateful for my job (that I even have a job), but I can complain about this: the drive to work...not so fun. I drive an hour; I wake up @ 5 every morning, drive an hour to work, work 8-5 then drive an hour home=does not leave a lot of time to have a life during the week. On the weekends i just want to sleep and also do as much as I can...I only got 2 days. But I am grateful I can work while Scott is going to school. But I miss my friends, I miss being able to go out to lunch or get a coffee at 1 in the afternoon..I miss the Hills!!!!!! aaahhhh!!! Hopefully life will calm down and get straightened out so I can have more time to be around the people I enjoy!

Lata!

New Beginnings

This month is full of life changes. Scott and I are going through...well we are at the end of our financial crisis and ready for a fresh start. It's sad that things turned out the way they did but I am grateful to be alive and breathing. I got a job at Zimmer in Marketing Communications as an admin. and i really enjoy it. It definitely keeps me busy, definitely not a job you can slack at. I am also looking forward to January b/c the job goes direct through Zimmer...I'm through Kelly right now. Scott is loving school. He has been getting A's in all his classes. I turned 26 last week and it just doesn't seem right. I have 4 more years until I"m 30 and that is a little bit scary. Not that I think that is old just the fact that 4 years will go by super fast....and that is what is depressing. Oh well. It will be neat to see how much changes in the next couple years.

My sister Jocelyn is going to be delivering their 3rd child in exactly 1 day and a half. A little girl named Charlotte aka Lucy. Don't ask. My parents are going to become poor in October. They have Ryans, mine, and now Charlottes birthday all each a week apart from the other. Ryans is the 8th, mine the 15th, and Charlottes the 22nd plus Scott and I have our anniversary on the 28th. Crazy busy month!

Alrighty...well I'm going to bed...peace.

Well..until then....

Labor Day Wknd

I had an eventful patriotic weekend. We hit it off with the Presidents of The United States of America concert...I"m wondering if that was planned.... We saw a lot of people out that we haven't seen for a long time. Did absolutely nothing on Saturday and on Sunday night went out to dinner w/ the Woodfills @ El Azteca. Scott had to work which was a bummer but it was good food. And now I'm exhausted from a night of poker playing till 3 in the morning. I'm tired and I start my new job tomorrow. It's really exciting!! I am working in the HR dept @ Zimmer. It is a lot of paper work, scheduling interviews, and attention to detail. It is going to be challenging @ the beginning b/c there is so much to learn but I"m up for the challenge! I will be working 8-5 everyday w/ weekends off!! Yay! But the most appealing part of the job is the innovation center....more like the play area:) There is a cafe, bookcase full of toys (including a mr. potato head doll), booths that are hooked up to computers and flat screens so you can write on the table, and a spiral slide that leads into a things of balls. No people this is not for empolyees children, it is for the employees. I can't wait to go down the slide...and I WILL let you know how it went!!:) hahah!

A new job.

I got a job at Biaggi's. One word: Tough. I cannot believe how hard it is to memorize the menu. There's so many items it's crazy. I'm actually kind of freaking out right now. I didn't know that serving would be this intimidating. I'm trying my best to study the crap out of this stuff and it seems like it isn't sinking in. Tomorrow we have a test on the food.....not confident at all. I'm hoping I can nip it in the bud and get all of this soaking up in my head. So Scott left car sales...FOR GOOD!!! Yay!! He was hired in as a bartender @ El Azteca and will be taking classes this fall for computer science. We have had some life changing events happen the past couple months and are trying to get ourselves back to where we need to be, even if that means having to serve to make ends meet in the mean time. I'm not escatic about going back into serving, but I need to be making money while I'm looking for a real job. But I am so happy for Scott. He is going back to school and that's exactlly what he wants for himself. I'm happy he can do that now and not later. He's super excited as well and now we will be focusing on getting ourselves to where we need and want to be.

Quickie

So I just found out today that Sarah created a blogspot!! Yeepee!! I am super stoked! Anyhow..just got back from playing softball, we lost:( Oh well. We have tournament next weekend and it might just be the last Sunday we play this year. And I cannot believe summer is almost coming to an end. I know, I know we have a whole month left but it feels like it has flown by. Alrighty well I gotta go...till next time...
