** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** by Kiya WELCOME TO MY BLOG I joined WDC in December 2004 and have struggled with starting a blog. I made a list and it had just as many cons as I did pros. But finally I have decided to go for it. This blog is for me, about me and really when it's all said and done~~If you visit my place and you don't like it here, you don't have to be here! This is for me! To help me! This is my place to vent, rave, rant, cry, laugh and say whatever I need to say! I think we all have personal truths. This blog is to help me find my personal truth, deal with my personal truths, let go of some of my personal truths and build on my personal truths! Personal Truth are those thoughts and actions which lead to a feeling of well-being. I think there has to be accountability in order for truth to be found in a personal way. I think all means of self-discovery are valid. I hope my blog helps me with this. Tammy ![Merit Badge in Inner Strength

A little funny for you all; Fig Leaf Found A little boy opened the large old family Bible, and he looked with fascination at the ancient pages as he turned them one by one. He was still in Genesis when something fell out of the Bible. He picked it up and looked at it closely. It was a very large old tree leaf that had been pressed between the pages of the Bible long ago."Momma, look what I found!" the boy called out. "What do you have there?" his mother asked. With astonishment in his voice, the young boy answered, "I think it's Adam's underwear!" |

You are a great friend and lover. You don't demand much of others. While you are quiet, you have a subtle wit that your friends know well. At your worst, you are lazy and unwilling to work at anything. You often get stuck in a rut, without aspirations or dreams. You can get too dependent on others, setting yourself up for abandonment.

| This weekend is already going too fast...I've been off since Wed....I go back to work Sun. night...Even after 4 nights off...I stil feel like I need some time off...oh well, spring break is coming! So my son had a baskettball ball game last night and we had some pretty bad refs... I have been struggling and working with my son for the last 2 years on controlling his behavior when the refs make bad calls...and they tend to do this a lot with my son. One my son is 13 and 6 foot tall...and 2, he's biracial. We live in Northern Iowa and he definitately looks at of place at times..... He's usually the tallest one on the court and being so big...he tends to get blamed for everything...I mean at times it's so bad he can be on the bench and get a foul...! :( Joking, but it seems that way. So I have tried to get him to control his reaction and to not let their unfairness affect the way he plays...it's a struggle for him. Last night one of the Dad's in the stands got so mad and loud at the way the ref's were treating our team he almost had to leave...the ref gave him a warning... Ok this is a grown man who gets so out of control and acts this way....how can I expect a 13 year old to control his ways... Is it too much pressure on him...? I talked with Cody a lot last night and told him I wouldn't put up with him huffing and puffing on the court and griping on the bench or after the game. Or not playing his best after they they do this to him. I guess it is just irritating that 2 grown men, the refs can't be fair and treat all the same. But my son has to learn to control his behavior and to not let people affect him in this way. And he has to learn that life just is not fair!! Well we are off to finish his tournament today...maybe it will be different refs! |
| On a transatlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wing is struck by lightning. One woman in particular loses it. Screaming, she stands up in the front of the plane. "I'm too young to die," she wails. Then she yells, "Well, if I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on earth to be memorable! Is there anyone on this plane who can make me feel like a WOMAN?" For a moment there is silence. Everyone has forgotten their own peril. They all stare. Eyes riveted at the desperate woman in the front of the plane. Then a cowboy from Texas stands up in the rear of the plane. He is handsome, tall, well built. He starts to walk slowly up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt. One button at a time. No one moves. He removes his shirt. Muscles ripple across his chest. She gasps... He hands her the shirt and whispers "Iron this -- and then get me a beer." Hope you all have a great weekend. Tammy |
| a good stress reliever. Have fun! http://svt.se/hogafflahage/hogafflaHage_site/Kor/hestekor.swf I hate to admit~~I actually played with this for a bit!! :) Have a great day everyone!! Tammy |
| Build Me a Bridge A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. Suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, "Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish." The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want."The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that would honor and glorify me." The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I wish that I could understand my wife. I want to know how she feels inside, what she's thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says ‘nothing's wrong,’ and how I can make a woman truly happy." The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?" |
To be or not to be?? I was watching Dr. Phil while reviewing and today's topic was bitches. He had 3 women on there that were 'bitches." I have to be honest, I saw some of me (little ways) in each of them. Most of their reasons for acting the way they do is to get the people (they act like this towards) before these people can get them...I can be like this...very defensive. But seeing their behavior shows me~~~I'm not that much of a bitch....And I think I am bitch only when I need to be... I got a lot of reviewing done today...going to do a few more while I have time. :) I feel lazy sitting here in my recliner, with my feet propped up typing on my laptop! :)...I love my laptop. Oh well, the house is cleaned, laundry done and we are having leftovers tonight!! So...I do have a test tomorrow, but I will finish studying for it tonight at work. Off to review. Have a great week.

| It's been a while since I've written in here. My weeks are speeding by with me being swamped in class. My weekends filled with my kids and their activities and me studying as I can. I'm averaging 2-3 test per week. :( School is out today for the kids and I. It's been snowing since about 8:30pm last night...(I got out of my Composition class early.) I'm not sure how many inches we have but everything is closed! ANd it's coming down pretty steady. I'm so glad I didn't have school today, I had a psych test that I wasn't ready for. My classes are consuming me...the other day I had a big melt-down...I felt very overwhelmed!! So once again, I had to cut back another day of work. So now I will work 3 nights a week (Sun, Mon. and Thurs.) Plus one Saturday a month. Be glad when May gets here! After these 4 classes, I will only have 3 pre-reqs left before I can transition into the ADN Program(registered nurse.) M pre-reqs will be finished this summer, but I'm not sure if I will get transition into the ADN program this year or next. I'm writing this on my new laptop...got it last night. :) My first time to ever use one...I'm liking it. Last night I accidently sent someone 2 merit badges instead of one...not sure how I did that! Then I typed an email 3 times and kept pushing something that deleted it everytime I got to the end of it! But I'm getting the hang of it. Ok, I've rambled enough, off to review some more..maybe get cauhgt up on my contests! |
| I tried to get caught up on a few reviews today...I got some done. I've been in kittiara's port...she has some awesome poetry!! I also updated my Review group
In the last 5 days we have given 92 reviews...which is AWESOME!! I got a letter from my brother today. I miss him! He spoke of fighting trough his guilt and shame that he felt..especially towards the kids. (My kids and then his ex had brought his son down the following weekend after my kids and I had visited.) I wonder what all a drug-addict remembers...how much of the ways/behaviors are lost after they become sober... I remember when he first started drying out, he wrote me and apologized for some of the things he had done and for not being there like he should of been through our Mother's death. But I wonder what he remembers and if he realizes how bad he was and how much wrong he did. I'm really proud of him and his sobriety...he still has a little time left and then he has to go to a Half-way house. I pray he stays strong and gets everything right with his son. School is going good. I have 3 test in the next 3 weeks ...So I have been studying off and on!! My kids should be home any minute so I'm off for awile. Have a good night! |
| ok, ok You talked me into it! Don't know why...I already tell you everything in my e-mails! lol School is going good. I like my English class the best! I hate Micorbiology. :( I cut back at work! Woohoo...I have a 3 day weekend this coming weekend. Of course son has a 2-day b-ball tournament, that's about 110 miles from here....Still that's better than working. I have a pretty good routine going with school, school-work, house-work, and kids etc. I feel more at ease with it all! I like my routines! I can't believe this morning it was warm enough that I din't have to wear a coat. The sun was shining and it was such a pretty day. All righty Trish...there u go....{{Trish}} |
