** 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

| and on all weekend. I do feel like I am getting sidetracked more easily than usual...cleaning a clean house, watching movies I've already seen, umm playing around at WDC>....!!!!! Last night I watched Red Dust which was a really good movie. I also watched Stick It with Caitlyn and her friend. A gymnastic movie that was really cute. Then I watched Rent again!! I love that movie and still see things I have missed! Ok Mel and Trish I saw your challenges...I may try it!! But now I challenge you both to participate in the Halloween Contest that will be for the members of Simply Everything Group!!!!! It will be opening up in forum 2 Oct. 1st!!! I am off to go shopping and then taking Caitlyn and her friend to the park..I am going to try and get some autumn pics...I thought I would enter in that image contest! If I get some good shots I will post them! |
| I also watched Are You scared last night. Not sure what is up with me and the scary movies right now but.. It was pretty good, a little gory at times but overall it was okay. Like most horror movies it was extreme in places. I have spent the morning reivewing my Weekly Contest and cleaning out my Yahoo mailbox. Multi-tasking, yep, I'm talented like that!! I have the Weekly contest narrowed down to 8...I have to pick 3 I will finish that later. I need to study for a while. I really have nothing to say in here, I am making myself blog for the next few days HOPING that just writing will spark my muse. I haven't written a poem in about two months. |
| you need to. It's good! I'm off to watch more movies. |
| Me the whole week... I am off for the next 3 nights so maybe I can slow the pace a little. School is going ok, I turned in my first paper last night in my Comp II class. This class is based on the elements of argument. Persuasive/ and argumentive writing can be a little difficult. Our first paper we had to pick an essay from the book and argue with why we thought the author was wrong. I agreed with most of the essays so it was hard picking but there was one about discrimination of gay boyscout leaders that I chose to argue on. I hope I had enough arguement in it! That teacher is kind of weird, but hard to read. We don't think he is going to be hard on us but we will see! In A&P we have a quiz every week and then after a few weeks we have a Unit test, my first Unit test is next week...I am trying to study a few hours a day for that...the teacher in there is really strict and I just suck when it comes to chemical bonds and the chemistry of us!! My kids and their sports are taking so much time right now. She is in volleyball and tennis and he is doing football and he is in a basketball program through the Y. Everynight of the week except Wednesdays and Saurdays there is some practice or game going between the two of them!! I am so MAD at myself, I bought a new DVD camcorder (which is really cool but I'm still figuring it all out!) and recorded his game Tuesday...which he made THREE touchdowns in and lots of tackles....and I have lost the DVD ram casette thingy...I have looked everywhere...called every place where I may have misplaced it...I was carrying it in the case in the bag and went in a store after the game....but I've lost it!!! I feel so bad it was such a good game for him and I had made a point of recording the whole thing because the week before the coach had borrowed our tape to watch the game! But Cody did win MVP for that game and got the football so at least he has that. I am so behind on judging my contests so I will be doing lots of reviews the next few days. Plus, I am trying to get a contest together for one of my groups for Halloween!! Hope you all have a great weekend! |
| I guess one always has their little scares....no matter how old the kids are.. My kids are 14 & 12 and still they can scare me with silly things. Day before yesterday my son, Cody14, came home from football practice and sat down beside me on the couch and says, "I was bleeding down there," and points to his privates. Before I can react and say anything he says, "it's not when I pee, but I got kneed down there when I was tackling someone and it made a small cut." I want even say what first start going through my head....Anyway, he said the highschool trainer told him what symptoms to watch for and suggessted he get a jockeystrap/cup...We went and got one right then!! Today my daughter, Caitlyn 12, comes home right after school instead of going to volleyball practice. She sticks out her toungue (BRIIGHT PINK!!!) and says that her pen had exploded in her mouth and she had been throwing up ever since... I'm pretty sure it won't hurt her especially since she has vomitted!! But I look on line anyway just to see what they say about ink ingestion. The first thing that comes up leads to a blog where the guy is re-telling his childhood ink story....the 4 things he suggest you do are: 1. Rinse your mouth out with water. 2. Rinse your mouth out again. 3. Take pen from the kid. 4. Slap the kid!! lol Anyway, she is feeling better now. No more vomitting! Her tongue is still pink.. |
| since Thursday, with a head and chest cold. So I didn't do much this weekend. Trying to decide if I want to call in or try and work tonight....I never call in...I don't think I am contagious but I'm miserable! And I know there is no replacement, and the Mom would have to do it...I have 8 hours, maybe I'll start to feel better. I did watch 2 movies this weekend: Phat Girls - which was pretty funny & United 13 - which was good, but not really what I was expecting. I did get my Weekly Poetry contest judged and am caught up with the reviews for it, for the moment. Worked a little on my Drama newsletter for next month. Played around some with my photo place and making images for a contest I am doing for my Simple Everything Group. I need to study a little. I have a quiz Tuesday night and a paper due in 2 weeks. The quiz I took the other day I got 9 out of 10 right, so that was good!! School is going along pretty good so far. I think the worst part is not seeing the kids much on Tuesdays& Wednesday/ the nights I have class... I have been cooking dinner early those nights and they are helping. Caitlyn does dishes and straightens livingroom on Tuesday nights and Cody on Wednesday nights. And they have been good about doing their homework and reading those nights! I know we spend plenty of time together it just feels weird not seeing them as much on those days. Off to try and study some... |
| since Thursday. I go back to work tomorrow night. Haven't done much!! Been studying off and on. I have a quiz Tuesday night in my A&P class. And I had reading to do for my Comp II class. Reviewing/judging my contests. Working on my drama newsletter. I think I have my port all clean and ready for Kiya's contest. Look up at the great sig she made me today!! Yesterday my good friend Sallie, salliemoffitt visited my port and left me 2 awardicons. We met during Dog Days Of Summer Contest. I was her secret admirer. She has became a great friend. I guess it pays to participate and put yourself out in this community!! All the decorations around here look great. Hope everyone is having a good weekend. |
| the Dr. called, left a message on answering machine.... ALL of Cody's blood work/test were fine!! An email I got: A rancher needs to buy a bull to service his cows but has to borrow the money from the bank. The banker who lent the money comes by a week later to see how his investment is doing. The farmer complains that the bull just eats grass and wont even look at the cows. The banker suggests that a veterinarian have a look at the bull. The next week the banker returns to see if the vet helped. The farmer looks very pleased: "The bull serviced all my cows twice, broke through the fence, and serviced all my neighbor's cows three times." "Wow," says the banker, "What did the vet do to that bull?" "Just gave him some pills," replied the farmer. "What kind of pills?" asked the banker. "I don't know," says the farmer, "but they sort of taste like chocolate." |
| ME said I needed to post in here so... My internet has been messing up again. It went off last night and I just got it back on. The DR. has yet to call me on Cody's bloodwork. I have called twice. I'm thinking no news is good news! He has no s/s of high blood pressure. His shoulder is good. And he is at the lake swimming right now!! They are both doing things before they go back. I just got back from taking Caitlyn and her friend to the park and to get ice-cream. They start school Thursday..yeah!! The n I go back on the 28th. I'll just be going 2 nights a week. Composition II & A&P I. I think each class is like 3 hours per night/ once a week. Not too bad. A & P is supposed to be hard. We will see. It can't be any harder than the Biology class I took last semester...I barely pulled the B for that class. I just don't care too much about what I get..I just want to hurry up and get my RN, get a little more stability...which will hopefully lead to more freedom. But I ramble...off to read emails and catch up everywhere... ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Proud member of the following groups: "The Cabin Five Fifteen Group"  "Invalid Item" "Invalid Item" "Invalid Item" "Invalid Item" |
| I just got back from taking my son for a physical and a follow-up for his arm/shoulder. His arm is healing good and just tender in places. But his blood pressure was high when he first went in, it dropped back down a little but they were concerned with it and him only being 14 years old. They drew blood and took a urine sample to run testing and check his kidneys. When he went to the ER last week it was high and I said something but the nurse and I thought it was due to him being in such pain....but that nurse and Dr. didn't recheck it... I hope it was just because he was nervous...he was concerned that he might not get to play football for school. They start practise on the 25th.... It is kind of weird, he is always been so healthy and athletic. I don't even want to think abou this. I worked last night and have only slept a few hours but too wired and stressed to sleep...I've been cleaning which is what I do when I'm upset. |
