Mama With Attitude

A Weekend Of Wonderful Weather...

2009-04-27T16:47:00.004-04:00

It was in the upper 80s all weekend and it was a great feeling since this was the 1st weekend it was this warm this year. We were at my parents and we were outside for the most part and I hated to go inside but we had to go to bed or come home on Sunday.

Here are some pics I took during the weekend,my parents even have wild ducks that come to their back yard daily to eat:

Life can throw you off...

2009-04-24T02:47:00.000-04:00

Even these past two days nothing real exciting has happened to me. Certain events or thoughts in my head have been making me think about my life and life in general and just wonder why life is what it is. It can be so confusing. Like how would it be possible to fall in love with someone online that you only know for few weeks? Or the fact, you think you care about them so much you want to meet them so much but currently they are basically across the world from you and if they wanted too they can not even meet you just yet. How is it that this person is saying everything so right, you are so scared they are so wrong for you? Or they are not for real?

Then you get to babysit for a friend, you get her 6 yr old and her 11 month old. The 6 yr old is fine with my daughter, except a few little disagreements but nothing we can work out. But now the 11 month old is a different story lol. As soon as mom leaves, he screams and cries for her. Yes he is a mama's boy and yes she knows it. I feel bad for her because she has told me she is at lost in what to do about this issue as well. But man oh man, this lil guy did not stop crying from the time she left from the time she came back. And she left about 6:30P.M. and she got back around 10P.M. The ONLY time he did stop crying was when he took a 20 minute nap lol. Talk about life throwing you off, poor guy. (And Heather if you ever read this post this is not complaint lol just an insightful point about life lol). You would think he was dying without her but nope he was fine and he did survive...life went on without mama. :)

I just hope for my sake, I know soon if this guy I am talking to is for real before I do go insane and I hope for this 11m old sake he learns to realize his mama is not leaving him forever and he will survive! ;)

But yes Life can throw you off but, what does not kill you makes you stronger...

My bathroom got a facelift today...

2009-04-21T18:42:00.000-04:00

My landlord came today to put in new tiles on the celing since some were cracked and had some holes in them and well since I am part of the Section 8 program they do not like to any flaws at all. Plus I needed a new heat register as the other one got pretty old and beating up by my wheelchair. So, I guess when he took out the old tiles he also fixed my fan light in the bathroom as well. :) The only problem now is the light switches got switched lol. I am happy it got done, it looks better but sheesh it took him longer than I thought because he came over not knowing how many titles to get so he had to go back out to get more...

And as a rule whatever extras he has or things he needs for this house he stores either in the basement or in the attic (where it is drier) and I never really had a problem with that as long he kept his stuff away from mine or just let me know when he is coming. Well, he had extra titles so he was going to store them up in the attic like he did before but my neighbor/PCA told him she rather have her DH or one of her kids do it for him because it will be easier on him but there are other reasons why....she has animals and extra tentants up there that he may or may not know about up there. But anyhow, then her DH comes down stairs and sees the tiles in the hallway and asks "Why are these doing in OUR Hallway?!?" She explains, that the landlord wants them go in the attic but she told him that one of them would take them up there. He replies, "Hell we are that is our attic and our place we rent and I am tired of them using our place as storage". Then, kicks the titles down into the basement stairs! Now I understand his frustration, I really do because the landlord does walk into their home unannounced and just go in the attic without calling etc...but he had no right kicking or possibilily damaging someone's property. I heard from my PCA each tile does cost $5 so not sure what was left. So, now if he comes back and asks why is the tile downstairs/in the basement instead in the attic we have to say "Ask Jesse."

Sometimes I wish I could snap my fingers and be able have my own place then I would not have to worry about crazy landlords or upstairs neighbors. :)

Her Smile Sure Did Blow Me Away Today...

2009-04-21T01:40:00.000-04:00

Alexis had her 6 month cleaning routine for her teeth today right after school at 3:00P.M. The only problem was the fact she thought I was going to pick her up at school, (I said was but as a rule if I am not by the bus just go home on the bus). So, instead even going out to the buses she just stayed in her classroom thinking I would be getting her inside ugh. When I learned she was not on the bus, my PCA and her MIL offered to drive up and get her since it was now 2:30P.M. In the meantime, that is when I got the phone call from her school saying she was in the office waiting for me. ack! I told them to please have her go outside to meet with my PCA. They come home, we zoom off to the dentist by wheelchair. I am not sure how many blocks it is from my house but I say about 20+ blocks depending where you go and it takes about a half hour to get there by wheelchair lol. So we left the house about 2:48P.M. and arrived about 3:14P.M. Are you wondering how Alexis got there? She holds on behind my wheelchair and stands on the back of it LOL. She has been doing this as long as she could walk/stand. :) What a way to travel huh? It is funny to see and hear people responses. Some common remarks are: "Now that is one cool way to travel", or "I wish I can travel that way!" LOL.

But what also made this day hard was the fact the winds were blowing up too 45-55 MPH and the temp was between 45-50 degrees so the winds made it feel colder.

And the fact, we just made it to the to the appointment by the skin of our teeth (pardon the pun). But she did great at the appointment. The gentleman who did the cleaning of her teeth was awesome-a true jokester and had her laughing and telling her jokes to make her smile and have her keep her mouth open. ;) For example, as he clean, he will say do not bite my fingers off, or my hand, or arm off etc...And when she tried to tell him it was sour he would tease her and say well give me a second so I can help rinse lol. He even gave her a Hannah Montana sticker. Then the dentist himself came to check out her teeth. He looked at them for a couple minutes and said, "Wow what a great job, keep up the good work." and see you in the next 6 months. :)

When she was all done she smiled at me, that is when I went OOOO look at that sparkling smile! So, right now my daughter has a clean happy sparkling smile with no cavities, YAY!

And of course, we had to head back home the same 45-55 MPH winds but thank goodness it was not raining, that at least stopped and/or held off until we got back home.

What has been in my mind...

2009-04-19T23:14:00.001-04:00

Well I been at home alone this weekend as my daughter went to her grandparents for the weekend so I decided to go on a little shopping spree for a new Spring/Summer wardrobe for her since she hates shopping for clothes and well since I did that I treated me to some new Spring clothes as well and well I been having some songs in my head that I been wanting to own so I ended up buying the CDs for this weekend too. I got Beyonce; Single Ladies, Rascal Flatts new CD just because I just love them period lol and well thanks too one of my good friends Melissa, I got STYX- (their best of) The Milliennium Collection because their is one song on their she played for me in the memory of her daughter Caylpso, "Come Sail Away" and when I heard this song I also feel in love with it.

Here are the lyrics:

Written by dennis deyoung
Lead vocals by dennis deyoung

Im sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea
Ive got to be free, free to face the life thats ahead of me
On board, Im the captain, so climb aboard
Well search for tomorrow on every shore
And Ill try, oh lord, Ill try to carry on

I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever, so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But well try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
They said come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

and my favorite video/youtube of the song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgAdSMMdFmI

TY again Melissa for sharing this song with me!

Then the other song is Sing Ladies (Put a ring on it) from Beyonce

All the single ladies (7x)

Now put your hands up
Up in the club, we just broke up
I’m doing my own little thing
Decided to dip but now you wanna trip
Cuz another brother noticed me
I’m up on him, he up on me
dont pay him any attention
cried my tears, for three good years
Ya can’t be mad at me

[Chorus]
Cuz if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

(Chorus)
I got gloss on my lips, a man on my hips
Got me tighter than my Dereon jeans
acting up, drink in my cup
I could care less what you think
I need no permission, did I mention
Dont pay him any attention
Cuz you had your turn
But now you gonna learn
What it really feels like to miss me

(Chorus)

Don’t treat me to the things of the world
I’m not that kind of girl
Your love is what I prefer, what I deserve
Here's a man that makes me then takes me
And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond
Pull me into your arms
Say I’m the one you want
If you don’t, you’ll be alone
And like a ghost I’ll be gone

All the single ladies (7x)
Now put your hands up

(Chorus)

All my single ladies throw your hands in the air
All my single ladies throw your hands in the air

Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it like that
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it like that

Here we go again, check on your man
Fast as we can, we got an evil plan
If you can't follow me, get out the game
Call for backup as soon as you hear my name!

Hook:
It's time to get nasty
Look at me, I'm fabulously sexy
[ Beyonce Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Front of the line, VIP
We're celebrity

Chorus:
You got me feeling nasty baby
It's kinda hot but it's so damn crazy
It feels so good to be a single lady, baby
Don't be afraid to explore my body
Take off your clothes, get naughty
Let's funk away this party

Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it like that
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it like that

Don't know where I left my cell phone
I mean, this song really turns me on
We could be jamming all night long
The vibe is coming over me so strong
I'm feeling we've just begun
Let me help you put it on

Repeat Chorus

T-Pain:
TP and B-E-E
Sure u aint ready to party with the wife of Jay Z
She pretend to be a single lady
So she can ride with me
I came in to check on her
But I keep looking at shorty
she so hot that I wish she was my beyonce
(Cant understand this part lol)
Nappy boy in love with baby bee

All my single ladies throw your hands
All my single ladies throw your hands
All my single ladies theow your hands up
In the air!

Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it like that
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it like that

Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it like that
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it

And Finally:

Rascal Flatts: Unstoppable CD

Love who you love

should have stolen every moment
Now there's a page with not enough on it
Where we belong
I guess I'll never understand it
Why do we take it all for granted
Until it's gone
Cause then it's gone

Love who you love
With all that you have
And don't waste the time that flies so fast
Love who you love
And say that you do
Hold on as tight as they'll let you
Love who you love

Give all ya' got like its your last day
your heart and soul before its too late
And pull 'em in
So close enough that they can feel it
With every single breath that you're breathin'
Breathe it in again and again

Love who you love
With all that you have
And don't waste the time that flies so fast
Love who you love
[ Rascal Flatts Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
And say that you do
Hold on as tight as they'll let you

Hold on, Hold on
Love who you love
Say that you do

Love who you love
With all that you have
And don't waste the time that flies so fast
Love who you love
And say that you do
Hold on as tight as they'll let you

Love who you love
yeah yeah

Hold on, keep on holding on
yeah, yeah
With every single breath you're breathing

Love who you love
Love who you love
again and again and again and again

Muscus Go Away And Come Another Century...

2009-04-17T23:21:00.000-04:00

I am so tired of blow my nose and getting this gunk out of my nose! I even tried to call mt Dr. this AM to make some arrangements but they did not work out like I hoped. They think all I need is Muninex no antibiotics and what I have is viral but if I want to come in to make sure. So I asked to see my Dr on Monday instead, well my Dr. has a same day call rule so at first the receptionist nurse told me to call back on Monday AM to reshedule an appointment, I then had to explain to her I have to use a disabled transit that requires me to tell them 24 hrs adavance where I need to go. So she understood and gave me a 2:30pm Appt. Only oned problem I realized after 5pm that Alexis has a 3PM dentist appointment on Monday too. I am so mad at myself that I forgot that and would put two appointments together like that. So, now it looks like if I am still sick I won't get to see my Dr until Tuesday now if I am lucky. So I did take some Muninex to help me but I am still tired of it!

I did some you tubing and found...

2009-04-17T01:56:00.005-04:00

And I found this interesting video about my Presque Isle you see I knew about sunken ships due to the war of 1812 I believe and we even have a Bay named "Misery Bay" where most of the ships sank but anyhow here is the video I saw:

And here is a restored ship that they did "Niagara":

When Online Computer Games Become Too Addictive...

2009-04-17T00:46:00.001-04:00

1. When you child runs to the computer as soon as they come from school

2. Will not take no breaks other than go to the bathroom (if you remind them)

3. Will not eat dinner unless you offer the keyboard as their plate

4. Will not think about doing homework unless you count 1, 2, 3... 5. When it is time for bed they beg for some more extra time to finish what they are doing....

6. You give them that warning if they do not get ready for bed, they will not have computer time tomorrow...

7. They look at you as the world is coming to the end and plea to you to give them one more chance....

8. They get ready for bed...

9. They ask about computer time again.

10. Time will tell

11. They go to bed for the night with tears in their eyes...

That is when you know online computer games become too addictive

*******

Yes I am talking about my daughter who gave me a hard time about getting off the computer to go to bed tonight, and she gave me mouth so because of that I figured the best punishment would be to give her no computer time for tomorrow night and OMG you would think I was killing her lol...oh well. Life is so hard for these young kids these days I tell ya. She will get over it I know she will because she always does. Oh in case you are wondering what is this "popular" online game is called it's: Barbie Girls

The Girl Scout Meeting that Never Was...

2009-04-15T23:54:00.001-04:00

Alexis been excited to go too her "3rd" meeting but technically it would be their 5th one. However, once we got there there was talk they were still waiting for 3 more kids and/or the Co-Leader and the Leader had said without the Co-Leader there, the meeting can not go on. Now, here I am thinking, if that was the case why couldn't A. the Leader call to make sure the Co-Leader could come today before the rest of us got there! or B. The Leader call everyone on the list to remind everyone about the meeting since we just had a long Easter break. As it end up, the Co-Leader did forget and could not make it, so the Leader, another Mother and myself wasted our time showing up at the school. It took me to suggest to the Leader to CALL the Co-Leader to see if she was coming or not vs. just sitting waiting any longer...she eft her cell phone at home so I offered mine to call. What also made it upsetting was the fact Alexis was excited to see her "GS friends" just to have to leave. And the other two Moms decided to have a play date at one of their houses to make up for the "no GS meeting" but discussed this in front of Alexis and myself. Granted these two Mothers probably knew each other from last years GS but I still felt "bad for Alexis' so I told Alexis to come with me and I told her I was taking her to Dairy Queen. I was planning on it anyhow after the meeting but I was also hoping to do some Grocery shopping while she was at girl scouts but instead she came with and end up being my helper again. :) But I tell you if they keep canceling because of forgetfulness or not enough quorum or sickness I am going to be very unhappy! It seems like this Troop is very disorganized already and that is very disturbing to me (not blaming it all on the leaders). Oh because we decided to have a parent bring in a snack, the one parent tonight had snacks but will just keep them for next time...But that was going to be Alexis' turn but now she will be bumped for another 4 weeks from now.

So Life Is Back To Normal Or Is It?...

2009-04-14T23:04:00.000-04:00

Alexis went back to school today...

But I still woke up with a runny nose and a sore throat and of course I realize it must be a sinus infection for sure! Yay Me! Not! I guess with all the running around last week did it for me. I just hope I can fight off, if not it is more antibotics for me.

And I also now have a trail of Ants that is coming from my floor board, so that is something else I have to deal with now. I think I solved that problem by pouring some baby powder in the hole to confuse them and I was told they will not know where to go with baby powder so we shall see.

I will now leave you with this inspirational video:

Worn Out...

2009-04-14T00:08:00.001-04:00

I just can not believe how worn out I am today/night after what seems us going and going non-stop since last Wednesday! I feel like I could sleep for a week but I just can't. I even think Alexis is starting to feel it as she has been a bit crank herself. I just hope her going back to school tomorrow won't be affected. I also do not think me coming down with more sinuses issues help either. I been having more post nasal drip which I feel going down my throat and it is cause me to have a sore throat as well. :( I sure hope after tomorrow or at least by Wednesday everything will be back to normal as our schedules and our lives go. Because my body is worn out!

Happy Easter????

2009-04-12T23:21:00.000-04:00

Well Today was Easter and yes it was suppose to be Happy. I decided to celebrate
and have Easter at my parents vs home since Alexis now knows the "truth". So, the night before I had my mom help hid her baskets like I would normally then before I went to bed I asked her to please to wake me up for breakfast time so I can eat with everyone on Easter AM and then Alexis can do her search for her baskets etc....

Well, Alexis comes in Easter AM to say to me wake up Mommy breakfast is going to be ready soon so I say okay hunny. So, I start to get up and my Mom comes in to notify me that Alexis has been fed already because did not want to have make her wait etc...and that I can still eat with her...So I finally get down stairs but Alexis is not there, she is upstairs playing on the computer. My Mom had to almost beg her to come downstairs to have Easter with us and to actually look for her baskets! I was in shock! Especially, when my Mom just gave me grief that it was not fair I make HER wait for me to get up before she can see or look for her gifts on Christmas or on Easter. ugh.

She FINALLY comes down and admits to me she already knew where the baskets were! She said she found them earlier in the AM when she first woke up. Part of me was furious at my parents for letting her "look" without me but again I was not sure if they were in the room at the time or not...but I was not happy with their response. She was excited you can't blame her for that can you? Yes, I can when I told her the night before to wait until mommy woke up. So, at this point I was thinking why did I wake up for again? Especially to the fact as soon she got out the baskets out from the hiding spots she ran back upstairs to the computer again!

What also made me want to knock her out was the fact her grandparents got her a basket of stuff. Mainly she got a sweatshirt and my mom added her name on it and I was trying to be funny by saying, "Oh you lucky, I want one too". So instead of keeping her mouth shut, Alexis goes, "Do not worry you got one too"! That really irritated me so much, she knows better to keep stuff like that quiet. That really bummed me out it was like I could not be excited about ANYTHING that day because if my daughter.

And when I mentioned to my Mom that I kinda wish I had help keeping her off the computer, because my parents would not tell her no or would not tell her stay downstairs or anything if I were to tell Alexis to stay. It is not like I could keep going upstairs to tell her no. This is what my mom said to me: Oh you want her off the computer and just be bored to death because there is nothing else to do? I go no, she will be with me because it is Easter! I even mentioned to her that is why I am not on my laptop etc...
And that is when my Mom rubbed it in my face, now you know how it feels when you are on your laptop all the time when Alexis wants to be with you etc...I went excuse me?!? I am only on my laptop when there in nothing else to do!!!

Happy Easter eh? Just say, after this discussion we had a family drive to drop off some Easter gifts off to my Sisters and pick up my Easter candy I forgot that my Aunt made me at my Aunt's then we came back to my house. What a long weekend.

Alexis' colored eggs she dyed:

Easter with Da Fam...

2009-04-11T23:32:00.000-04:00

Alexis colored some eggs before we went to visit da family for Easter:

****************
On Saturday, we celebrated Easter with my Dad's side of the family and well we got to see some family we had not seen or got to seen since summer. It felt good and nice to see them. What made it special was my younger cousins who are in their younger 20s even included Alexis in stuff like playing some board games and such because she was the ONLY "kid" there. The only thing was when she felt she was loosing or no one was was letting her win, they would "let her win" once in awhile on purpose lol. I enjoyed it too because I got to bond with my young cousins again and it caught up with their lives. And what was cool about this day too is the fact, my Aunt makes her own chocolate and it is so yummy and she gave everyone their own "baggy" of chocolates as a gift. And all I can say is YUMMY!

Happy GOOD Friday Everyone!

2009-04-11T00:11:00.000-04:00

Today I went to see my Mom's family and I had a good time. I had to get up early though then we traveled about two hours to see them. My Grandmother and my two Uncles live in this town together-in fact they even live on the same street LOL. But we are all grateful this Easter for several reasons:

My Grandmother is a Breast Cancer Survivor she just battled and had to undergo breast hysterectomy last year. And my one Uncle just had some heart troubles that they took cared of just last week! All he had was irregular heart beats and they fixed his electrolytes in his heart so now his heart is beating regular and will never have that problem again.

It was nice to see everyone there too because we had not seen them all winter long. And I got to see one of my baby cousins again and boy did she grow!

Here are some Pics I took that day of Alexis and me:

A Girl's Day Out

2009-04-10T00:24:00.000-04:00

Today my friend, Tina and Alexis & I decided to get our hair cut as well colored (well Tina & I). Then afterwords, we saw the Easter Bunny at the Mall. The only problem was it took three hours just to do our hair. And it was 7:00pm before we got done. So it it was about 7:15pm we we got to the Easter Bunny. We were all starving at this point and I was still was hoping to get some chocolates at a local chocolate/candy store up the street and the bus was on its way to the mall at 7:50pm. So we get that bus to get that store but I tell my friend and kid to just me at Wal-Mart because there was a subway there plus there was a couple things we needed there. The catch was we needed to leave there by 9:40pm. As it was the last bus back to town/home for the evening. Well needless to say because my daughter could not make up her mind on a "Easter gift/basket" she wanted from me, we missed the last bus! So that left us calling the disabled yellow cab to get us, which usually costs $10 per person to go only 4 miles away. And since this cab only can fit one wheelchair it costs us $20 total which is BS. So by the time we got home it was about 11pm or so. And one of my guy friend's had to come over to drop off some candy for Alexis. So, just say I am dead tired from my girl's day out.

I am a Sinner, you are Sinner, Hell we all are!

2009-04-09T01:34:00.002-04:00

Yep that is right, we are all sinners and if you do not believe that, you are going to Hell. LOL Well that is what I learned tonight and know from my faith. So please do be offended by this post if you have a different faith than me. I just wanted to blog that I went to a Catholic Church tonight and no I am not Catholic but a Methodist but was invited to go by a friend so I went. But the Father I listened to tonight was awesome and a great speaker and he did help me open my eyes a bit more or at least help me re-open them.
Here is a video I want to share with you - it is the same Father who I saw tonight:

and here is another video that touched me for the night by the same Father that spoke at the church I went to tonight:

Again I hope this blog/post touched you as much it did me tonight.

I thought the Home is where the HEART is?

2009-04-09T01:17:00.002-04:00

Well apparently I am wrong!

I got a freaking letter today from the landlady telling me otherwise and reminded me the house I am staying in and paying rent for is HER house! Let me explain:

Ok last Friday,

One of their daughters called me to asked me if I had rent ready now this threw me since I thought she was still in HS and why should she be doing their job for them so I asked her: Why was she calling instead of her parents? And her reply was because her mom asked her too then she passed the phone over to her mom. The landlady then tells me she asked her to call etc...and then again asked me if I had my rent money ready and if I would be available within that next hour I said yes.

Ok, so 4:15pm comes and the door knocks I tell Alexis to let her in and to get my purse so I can fill out the MO. (I was in the living room still). So, after I try to say hello, I ask Alexis is she inside? She goes no. I told Alexis well invite her in! I am thinking to myself why wouldn't she come in but oh well. I try to say hello again but nothing. I then give Alexis the MO to give the land lady and that was that.

Fast forward to today,
I get a letter in my mailbox with no postage stamp:
And in this letter it states how I was disrespectful to their daughter when she called and They will not tolerate that because their daughters work with them at their family business. And she also complained about "standing outside of MY OWN house for 12 minutes in the rain" And she now wants me to either mail my rent to them or drop it off at their place because she refuses to stand outside of "her" house again. [i][b]Oh she also said, "If you are not happy you are welcome to find a different house."[/b][/i] And I am not! The only problem as of May I am stuck here unless I find something better via section 8. :(

Now let me explain something to you all. Yes, I know I had it good when it came to paying rent because the landlord (the husband) always came to me because he knew I could not drive and it was easier for him to come to me. When most landlords do expect you to go to them But in this case she is punishing me for her wrong doing. I would never make anyone STAND outside in the rain. And two, I was not disrespectful to her kid and if I was...who was the elder in this case? I feel I am being the one being disrespected.

I been very upset that this woman keeps calling this place her "home" when she does not even live here and even take care of the place. Sure it is her property but that is all in my book!

When I cool down some, I am planning on talking to her husband-the landlord who I been getting along with the most part and explain to him that this letter is unfair and I was not rude or being disrespectful in anyway. And I could not help the fact, she did not come in when my daughter opened the door for her etc..I thought she was in for quite out loud! And it was no 12 minutes, it was maybe 5 minutes. Hopefully he will listen and understand, if not I do not know what I am going to do. :(

Just had to share some crazy pics of my kitties...

2009-04-08T02:47:00.007-04:00

The first set of pics are my Sadie Brat she looks like a stuffed kitty laying on my couch here:

The second set are of my Angel Prince trying to get a drink of water out of the sink LOL:

So there you have it my crazy furbabies! :)

One word that has been heavy on my mind lately...

2009-04-07T18:42:00.003-04:00

The word that has been on mind lately is Burden . Why you ask? Because it has been a word I been hearing most of my life or to know to be. Let me explain a little, my parents have done wonderful things for me and have taken me places. But there are times when I do need something or would like to go some where but I will either get this answer: You know you can be a burden and it is hard on us to take you "everywhere" or You realize you are a burden right so it is hard on us to do everything you want...

Or worst yet, they may not have to say a word but yet make me feel like a burden by their actions (and this could be anyone in general no one in particular). I hate the word "burden" and even worse knowing that I am a burden to ANYONE. That is why I refuse to use the word on anyone or say to my daughter she is a burden to me because she is not. She may be a lot of things to me, but a burden is not one of them.
Here is a link of what "Burden" means:
Burden

It is now April-A week before Easter AND

2009-04-06T21:31:00.002-04:00

AND it is freaking snowing what the heck!?!? It is not suppose be snowing in April is it now Spring! Give us a break here! Alexis is now on Spring Break and I had several outdoor activities for her and I too do this week. But they all got ruined or got changed because of this stupid weather. It is suppose to snow until this Weds. It is suppose to be in the 40s and in the 30s too AHHHH!

I do not know how much longer I be stuck inside with my precious Alexis ;).

2009-04-06T21:14:00.001-04:00

Gotta face it, Have to be a green thumb IF

2009-04-06T20:55:00.004-04:00

Yep gotta be a green thumb if I am going have a 1st grader around and who wants to be a Daisy Girl's Scout.

Alexis planted 3 flowers on 3-25-09; a Daisy, Lupia, and Sunflower which all stand a different meaning or oath in the Daisy Oath/promise. Well, anyhow two out of the three are starting to sprout out now and I took a picture of them to help keep track of them. But the amazing thing is the fact we planted them on Weds the 3-25-09 and the Sunflower, sprouted already on Friday, the 3-28-09! And still is sprouting slowly.

In the meantime, Alexis' 1st grade teacher had them plant a kidney bean plant this past Friday, 4-3-09 and it is only Monday 4-6-09 and that plant has already sprouted 3" since then!

Here are the pics to help keep to track and yes I will try to update the pictures as much as I can:

Why oh Why did the TRUTH hava come out now~ Mama's heart breaks!

2009-04-03T23:14:00.001-04:00

On Friday, Alexis came home from school and said her teacher gave her an Easter basket but tried to say the Easter bunny came early but Alexis said I do not think he did Mommy I think it was Mrs. C who did the basket. Then she went, "Hey Mommy have you been the ones hiding my baskets not the Easter bunny!" And then the eyes, were looking right at me, so I told her the truth, I told her yes I have been but because it was a tradition of the story of the Easter Bunny and all parents do it. She then had to say, you are Santa too then because you are the tooth Fairy as well. At this point I wanted bang my head against the wall because MY fun was now over. :cry:. But she started to get upset and said, are you Santa too? Does that mean Santa does not exist?!? At that point, I told her yes I took over his role as Santa because at one time he did live. But to carry on his spirit all parents all over the world still give their children presents as Santa etc...And Alexis goes and that makes him happy right? I go yes it does sweetie. So that made her happy lol. But now she thinks the Easter Bunny also became old and died so that is why we parents had to carry on his job too. ;) And if that makes her happy I am too. But man why did she have to know the "truth" at age 6 lol. I did not know all this until at 8 yrs old. I told her she got me beat by 2 yrs lol. (She did not know what I meant though).

Alexis made it on the honor roll once again

2009-04-03T02:08:00.000-04:00

I am very proud of my Alexis. She came home with her 3rd quarter report card and she had 2 As, one in Math and the other in language arts. And she got 2s and 1s in everything else. 2s mean She meet expectations in the classroom and well 1s mean she meant she meets above the expectations in the classroom. :) She however, did have two absences due to being sick for the first time this school year.

Alexis and I learn how to make Maple syrup...

2009-03-29T01:42:00.002-04:00

My mom and I took Alexis too our local nature center called Asbury Woods because they were having a weekend Maple Festival where they were having Pancakes with local maple syrup and tours on how they get maple syrup made here locally and the history of etc...

Well Alexis and my parents went to this festival last year but for some reason I could not go so this year I wanted to go.

And I did not have a chance take many pics but here are a couple:

Alexis making a Robin :):

Alexis got her face painted and got a bunny on it:

My NKOTB Experience 3-22-09

2009-03-23T14:01:00.003-04:00

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v97/us2girls/2009%20Pictures/NKOTB%20Concert%20in%20Erie/?albumview=slideshow

I went to my first NKOTB concert on Sunday with my BFF and it was awesome! I just wish we did have better seats. We had seats in the back of the arena. And what made it worse is the fact the New Kids did go on the floor with the fans and sing and we could not go down there to see them. :(

Donnie got a hat from a boy which was cool and he wore it part of the concert but was even awesome was the fact he gave that same kid one of his hats once they returned to the stage! ;)

I am so glad I got my new camera now because it took great pics and it zoomed perfectly compared to my other. The concert was from 7pm but it never ended until around 10:30pm! They had Jabawakeez as their opening act as well.

Just Amazing how...

2009-03-20T13:45:00.000-04:00

It is just amazing how kids bounce back so easy after being sick....Alexis feel 180 degrees better after yesterday it does not even seem like she was even sick at all! I wish I had her energy though wow! I am still paying for that night/day. lol

So not fair...

2009-03-19T13:40:00.000-04:00

All winter long my Alexis been fighting off sickness and been so healthy until recently :( last week I had her stay home due having a bad cough and having a sore throat, and having a stuffy nose. All signs of a common cold but she looked and sounded miserable so I did not have her go to school. She missed school for the first time for the whole school year. :( But anyhow, she got better and went to school the next day and been "fine" every since. Until last night that is, at 12:52AM she woke up out of bed and ran to the bathroom thinking she had to throw up but did not. She started to talk to me and said I really think I do, I told her go back in the bathroom hunny. All of sudden it came out, my baby did throw up. I was praying maybe it was just the food we had that night (we went to Dairy Queen). But she also had a 100.3 temp. :( After talking to her and comforting her she went back to bed...I decided to stay up just in case this happened again...sure enough about an hour later she jumped out of bed and ran to the toilet again :(. Not so bad this time and her temp was a bit down but still evaluated. But when she came back to bed she just could not get back to sleep she was so thirsty and hot. So by the time we both got settled for the night was about 5AM and we had to get up by 7AM for school..
When the alarm went off she seemed fine she still had a slight temp 98.9 and plus she had not eating anything so I decided I better just keep her home to make sure everything stays fine and foiod stays down and her temp does not get any worse. :(

Well thank goodness she has been able to keep everything down, only issue is she still has a temp. It averages around 99.9 so hopefully with some Tylenol it will knock that out. :(

She also ended up taking a 2 hour nap today so you know she is fighting something. :(

I hope she can go to school tomorrow though.

Happy Day for Mommy and Lexie too!

2009-03-17T23:43:00.000-04:00

Well today was a happy day for Mommy and Alexis too. Why because Alexis got to go to Chucky E. Cheese's and have some fun! And Mommy had a happy day because she finally got her new camera she been shopping for LOL.

Mommy got her new camera first at Best Buy. I end up getting a Kodak EasyShare 10.0 M1033 and I was comparing it with a Canon and decided I wanted the Kodak because it had a 32 meg internal memory where as the canon compared did not.

Here are some of my first pictures that took with my camera and Alexis having fun:

They say Stressed spells desserts

2009-03-13T13:15:00.000-04:00

And well I tell you this past month I had enough stress to last me a long time.

I was told my my ex-h that he has purchase plane tickets to have our daughter from June 22-July 5th which means he will not only have her on Father's Day but also for the 4th of July. Not what we discussed, and it has ruined our plans I planned for "us" but of course, did he consider that or call me to confirm the dates? Of course not. Then I was told by Section 8, I am not allowed to move out once my lease is reactivated unless these 3 factors occur; A fire, a natural disaster or I become ill from this house some how. Of course, I can break the lease anytime and loose all my section 8 benefits too.

Alexis in da snow after the storm of the season ;)

2009-02-04T03:18:00.008-05:00

How deep the snow was since 1-29 until 2-1. We got 13" of it!

Alexis doing snow angels :)

Swinging in the snow? Crazy girl! LOL

Alexis and her snowgal that she did with her grandma

So you have it...My Alexis having fun in the snow this past weekend.

Wanna see some Eerie snow?

2009-02-04T02:56:00.007-05:00

This winter storm happened between 1/29-1/30 but more did come but I will save those pics for another post/blog. :)

This is what we got in 24 hour period!

Day 1: No driveway

No Sidewalks:

Day 2:
Front porch-my neighbors' exercise bike

My front porch

Looking out above my ramp onto our parking area-my neighbors' car buried in snow (not working).

Almost had a death in the family...

2009-02-01T00:41:00.000-05:00

And it was me wanting to kill our one cat...Angel Prince...Why?

My Mom and I were in the other room getting ready to go my parents on Friday when all of the sudden we heard a boom and a scream: It was Alexis screaming, so My Mom ran out to the living room first, me to follow; we saw Alexis in my chair fine but she was pointing to the floor and we saw our Beta Fish on the floor with the water poured out! We then comprehended that the Angel Brat must have knocked off the fish aquarium off the entertainment center so my Mom immediately grabbed the aquarium and took it to the kitchen and we both realized we needed stilled water so I told her about our spring water bottles that we had on the floor under the kitchen table. She poured that water in the aquarium as fast as she could and all we could do then was wait and see to make sure the shock would not kill Ella the Beta fish. But she seemed fine thank goodness. Before we left we rearranged how she was on the entertainment center and made sure there was no room for a cat to get up there this time!

But once we had that all settled (even before so) I even put Angel Prince's nose up to it and said no and spanked his butt again. But I tell ya, even Alexis was mad at him that day and I was not joking I was ready to throw him in the snow that day (but of course have him run back in like a wimp ). I think that was the first time he saw me that mad at him. And hopefully the last.

Alexis is doing a Mathathon fundraiser for St Jude's Children hospital

2009-01-27T14:16:00.004-05:00

Alexis' school is part of the St Jude's Mathathon and Alexis wanted to be a part of it.

For every math problem the child gets right monies will go towards the St Jude's hospital for Children...Sponsors can pay $.10 per correct answer or a flat amount....Alexis was pretty excited about doing it more for the cause than the prizes she would get based on how much she raises for the hospital.

I did something similar for St Jude's in grade school but it was a trivia marathon. ;)

Here is her website if your interested:

And here is more info on the Mathathon:

If you want to sponsor her and have more questions just comment here and I will be glad to answer any questions you may have!

NKOTB is coming to Erie!!!

2009-01-24T15:17:00.000-05:00

My heart is broken....the tickets just went on sale today at 10AM for the show for March 22 and I just called about them around 2pm. Well just say all the floor seats are already sold out! In fact they were within 10 minutes of the sale! And well, since I need to take my electric wheelchair with me that only leaves the disabled platform section they have on the top area. Which is on the side of the arena by where the normally keep the speakers too. So, yes we will be able to hear them just fine but seeing them may be an issue. :( (I been to other events and concerts before and was not that pleased about the view). Also, it is on a Sunday at 7pm, a school night and a work night, so not sure if it would be fair for my parents to watch Alexis until I get back AND public transits stop working at 6pm on Sundays so I have no idea how I get home unless I take a disabled cab home as well (which we only have one available if working). ACK!

So I do not know what to do?!?!

Alexis- My Smarty Pants comes home with 2 awards & honor roll report card

2009-01-23T02:17:00.002-05:00

Alexis came home today and had a big smile on her face....
She said Mommy I got two awards today...
I go you did? What for? What did they say?
She said she did not know but they were just awards....
I asked to see them...

The awards were for having Perfect Attendance (again) for second quarter and
for having a Honors report card (again) for second quarter!

I got excited for her and hugged her for earning such awards and she goes Mom they are just "awards on paper" that is all, I did not get no prize or anything and she sounded disappointed like she deserved more lol (They had an assembly today and they announced everyone's names who had those "awards").

Then she showed me her fantastic report card and from what I saw she did get all As and mostly all 2s (which means she is at the standards they expect for her grade) And a couple #1s (which exceeds what they expect for that grade). So she made me very proud mama today.

Snow Snow Go Away & Come Another SEASON!

2009-01-21T23:39:00.002-05:00

I am seriously tired of all this snow we have been having along with the one digit temps we been having along with it! We been having single digits and wind chills below zero. Just say I am ready for SPRING now. And believe me I am counting the days when it gets here.

The Day Has Come...

2009-01-21T01:40:00.000-05:00

We now have a new President....
even though I did not vote for him nor was satisfied with any of his candidates that he ran against I hope and pray that he can change things for us...for the better...and make our Country heal its wounds once again and eventually get all our troops back home again...
God Bless Our New President, Our Country, Our Troops and most of all US!
Here is a video of the song in honor of his inauguration day...

My New Year's Resolutions...

2009-01-18T01:19:00.002-05:00

Well I made two this year....
One is try to save up or save more money aside somehow more than I did last year...rather I do it in the bank or at home somewhere...just to have it for emergencies.

And my other Resolution is to maintain my health and stay as healthy as possible weather that means exercise more, visit my dr more often for my annual physical and/or take my vitamins and basically do all healthier things that soon to be 35 yr olds should be doing.

Hopefully I can look back at this post and said I did these things...

A New Year....a new look...

2009-01-18T01:14:00.002-05:00

Well I decided to give my blog a new look since it is a new year now...
This background fits exactly what my blog is about so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do even though I can't get no credit for it...I got it through Pinp-My-Profile.com and they have great templates there!

Alexis and theTruth about the Tooth Fairy...

2009-01-16T23:06:00.000-05:00

Alexis came home with yet another tooth necklace around her neck. LOL Which would be tooth #5 gone. And it still looks like she has 2 teeth missing (well now 3).

Her first 2 teeth came in fast(her bottom). I believe but her 2 top front teeth are taking forever to grow in-she lost those teeth like in September. I can't remember how long teeth take to grow in as a rule....

But anyways the truth came out today....

I guess I can't help it that I have a smart girl on my hands.

Here is our story:
Me to Alexis: Well did the Tooth fairy come?
Alexis: Oh I forgot to look!
She goes to look lol
She comes back and says...
Alexis: Yeah she came...gave me a $1 but forgot my tooth
Me: She did? (in a puzzled voice) (because I knew "I" knew I grabbed a tooth lol)
Alexis: Yep maybe she dropped it back in my pillow (she has a tooth pillow)
Me: Maybe she did drop it
Alexis: That is what I said...HEY are YOU the one who been giving me the money and taking my teeth?
Me: cant remember what i said
Alexis: Oh well she well get it tonight

At this point I tried to come with excuses but I realized she was looking right into my eyes at this point and I just could not "lie" to her no more
so I told her she was to smart for me and explained to her that yes I been the "one" and she started to cry and say you mean there is no tooth fairy at all? That is when I told her I would not want her to ever stop "believing" and then she asked me why I lied to her like that in the first place? I told her it was not necessarily a lie but more of a tradition a parent passes on...and explained to her I believed in the tooth fairy...so did her grandma etc...she felt better after that. And I told she will hopefully pass this tradition on to her kids and for now she said "no I won't" LOL. But one good thing she is happy about is the fact she will still get money when she looses a tooth even though she feels bad it is my money (she asked but can you afford it mommy? :(-gotta love her)

Oh as for the mystery tooth: we think her tooth fell a part or something because I did grab it or part of it at least

My Alexis made me laugh Yesterday...even though she thought it was NOT funny! LOL

2009-01-15T23:09:00.000-05:00

Yesterday we were making some sugar cookies and well my PCA also allowed us to borrow her toaster oven to bake them...we also tried out her Easy-Bake Oven for two cookies but anyhow Kym (the PCA) and Alexis were sharing a chair while waiting for the cookies to bake...
Kym at one point decided to move the chair over to sit down in it and all of the sudden we heard a big boom-plop! lmao
Alexis went to sit down on the chair too and/or on her lap but did not realize she moved lol She started to cry because was scared, because it was such a shock. I started to lmao my butt off because the face she gave was priceless and it did NOT help the fact Kym was laughing as hard as I was....but the harder we lmao though the harder Alexis started to scream and cry...she got angry we were laughing at her suspense and/or her getting hurt but we knew she was just fine. ;) lol We tried to explain to her that it happens to everyone, missing the seat somehow or another lol She is somewhat getting over it now.

My Alexis learns more about where babies come from...

2009-01-08T23:52:00.000-05:00

A funny story that I thought I share with you and also be able keep for memoriies:

We were watching Narnia and WELL a woman was giving birth to a baby with her legs spread a part (but could not see nothing else) but Alexis pretty much said she is not having her baby like you mommy in a puzzled voice (I had a c-section so she was told I had her through my tummy lol). I went, not thinking, "no hunny she is having hers between her legs..." and her response was PRICELESS "ewwww like she is pooping out the baby?!? I go yep laughing! And she goes, I hope I don't have a baby like that, I want one like you did mommy!

Gawd I love her. I told her This is something you don't really talk about in school, she goes, no way eeew. lol

I have added a widget...or a donation button on the top of my blog in the memory of an Angel named Calypso, the donation is for a new headstone for her. I have known her mother and family for several years online and I consider them "family". I have her mother as one of my favorite blogs I follow: The Life of A Mother.

POTD: Sleepless Nights

2008-10-18T02:02:00.000-04:00

Sleepless Nights

As I stay awake
Are my thoughts are fake
The hurt is still there
And hard to bare
As I wonder why
My trust in one must die
Lying in bed, awake with lights
Having sleepless nights

Written: 10/18/08

POTD: Just Tired

2008-10-16T23:06:00.002-04:00

Just Tired...

Tired of being unhappy
Tired of feeling crappy
Tired of wanting more
Tired of not being adored
Tired of others not caring
Tired of being daring
Tired of everything
Just Tired

Written: 10/16/08

Too tired

2008-10-16T04:04:00.001-04:00

I tired to think of a poem of the day for today/tonight but I was just too tired to come up with anything creative so I will have to try again tomorrow.

POTD: Love Me For Who I Am...

2008-10-12T23:32:00.001-04:00

Love me for who I am

Love me for who I am,
Not what I am
Look deep into my eyes
And you will see
I am no different
Than you
So please love me
For who I am

Written: 10/12/08

Poem of the day: 10/12/08

2008-10-12T03:33:00.004-04:00

Please tell me what you will gain

Tell me what you will gain
From my pain?
You may think it a main
goal to see me in pain
That is so lame
What are you gonna gain?
It is not gonna be fame
So why give me the pain
Please tell me what you will gain

By: Dorine on October 12, 2008

Reason for this poem is the fact I am tired of people acting like I do not have feelings or think because I am in a wheelchair I do not have a head on my shoulders. I am just tired of being "robbed" in so many ways and just want to be respected, is that hard? If I want to get on a bus do not tell me it is too full and I have wait until the next one and please do not tell me off or get pissy with me if you have to get off your lazy A$$ to move to the back of the bus to make more room for little ole me. :P

Poetry for 2007

2008-10-12T03:29:00.001-04:00

A Heart of A Child (2007)

A child's heart is all what a Mother needs
The Love that a child gives helps the Mother breath
The eyes of happiness of a child has brought a good deed
The warmth of a child's hug brings joy into a Mother's life
The words "I love you Mom" will never stop the Mother being there
A Heart of a Child

Shattered Heart (2007)

Love someone with your whole heart,
Then have to let them go suddenly,
The heart shatters in pieces,

See death and there is nothing that can be done,
Other than try to make peace,
The heart shatters in pieces,

Now all alone in life, no one to love,
All things crashing down at once,
Your Heart shatters in pieces

My Poetry 2000-05

2008-10-12T03:10:00.004-04:00

I have decided to share some of my old poetry with you and will try to continue to add more current poetry to my blog as I write them. I hope you enjoy them as much I have written them. Now, these few here that I have done WERE for my ex-husband at the time but since the poems are still pretty good (in my opinion) I still wanted to share them LOL.

Unemployed Disabled Person (2006)
I am a disabled person that is looking for a job...
that will let me use my knowlege.
that will not look at my disability
that will see how motivated I am.
that will be able to help me support my family.
that will not judge my speed.
Isn't it true that the slow and the steady win the race
or was that only a fairy tale?
I hope one day I get a job.
I am tired of being an unemployed disabled person

The Flight (2002)
Dedicated to my husband, the one who helped me slow down my 'Flight'.

As I close my eyes
I see my life flash before them
So fast I can barely keep up
Am I dreaming?
Or is my life rapidly moving
When things become clear
There is fear
I am in a flight
I am looking down as my life is passing by
What can I do?
I focus and I slow down my flight and realize
My life isn't so bad
The flight showed me that I have a life and that I should be grateful
I suddenly open my eyes and found myself grounded

My Love you are My Dove (2002)
Dedicated to my husband, My Dove.

My Love you are My Dove
What we have is more just a fling
You take me under your wing
To protect and give me peace
As you hold me, I am at ease
When I look into your eyes I see love
Which makes me smile like a mile
My Love you are are My Dove

Is it fate? (2000)
Dedicated to my Husband, I love you my soulmate.

Is it fate?
That I met you
Are you my soulmate?
Is it fate?
That we found each other
Are we meant to be?
Is it fate?
That we are in love
Are we that perfect couple?
Is it fate?
That you said "Yes"
Are we able to become family?
Is it fate?
That we are now wedded
Are we forever?
Is it fate?

Dear God (2001)
Dedicated for those who we lost and the survivors of the 911 terrorist attacks

My Dear God,
Please watch over my fellow Brothers and Sisters
Who are suffering from a lot of pain
Give them strength to go on and survive,
Give them courage to smile and to deal with their tragedy
God do not let your Children give up their faith and give up on you.

Going back in time

2008-09-07T20:45:00.003-04:00

I feel like I have went back in time like back in the 80s and 90s this weekend lol. I ended up buying The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning and NKOTB's first new album "The Block". Then I also got Jonas Brothers for me and for Alexis to enjoy LOL.

And the sad thing I just had a birthday and I am wondering if I am going backwards instead of forwards in time. LOL

Happy September!

2008-09-02T20:30:00.000-04:00

Hard to believe it is September already!

Alexis is back in school and I forgot to mention in the post that I been babysitting a 3 month old for 3 weeks or so now and boy it sure does feel like I do have a Part-Time child again. LOL I have him from 8-5pm M-F while his Mom works but this is only until she can get welfare to take over Daycare funds and she will replace him into another Daycare facility. I did this as favor to her since she is a friend who is also a Single Mom of two.

Before we know it, leaves are going to change colors and Fall will be here and cooler weather will arrive for good. Hard to believe.

The Month of August came and went...

2008-09-01T18:30:00.001-04:00

I can not believe how fast this month came then went....

On August 14-17th we had Celebrate Erie here so we went downtown to do some activities and such then and I went to hear the Foreigners and NoMads and Ted O' Bailey I think LOL, along with the fireworks on Sunday as the finale. Then on the 22nd my parents took me the Casino here for my birthday while Alexis got to spend the night with her God Mommy. We did not win any money we only won our money back that we spent. LOL

Aug 23rd- Was one of my Aunt's 80th surprise birthday party so that was fun because we got to see family we had not seen in a long long time!

August 24th was my 34th birthday and I finally was able to get my laptop thanks to my rent rebate money and some other money I been saving up for this occasion....Happy Birthday to me! :)
We also go to my Aunt's to have a family get together again and have Chop Suety-Yummy!

August 25th~ 1st day of school for Alexis as a 1st grader and she gets her Kindergarten teacher again which made all of us happy. So far she is doing great is school and is now reading "I can read" books to me. I am so proud of her!

August 30th~ A good guy friend of mine takes me and Alexis to a German Festival with lots of German foods and music and farm animals to be petted and feed. Also, some bouncy inflation castles for kids to bounce in too. Alexis had a blast.

We sure did have a busy and a fun August!

My beautiful gal and her pierced ears

2008-07-23T01:53:00.004-04:00

I took some pics of Alexis and her pierced ears and this is what I got:

What a Blast of Weekend!!! Plus my Baby is truly Growing up!

2008-07-21T01:14:00.002-04:00

Well it is official, My baby is growing up!!!!

On Friday July 18th, Alexis got her ears pierced! My PCA/friend Kym and I took her to get her ears pierced at Claire's (we tried Wal-Mart on Thursday but they had no gloves to do it yeah). She only cried for a few seconds when they first did it (They put both earrings in at the same time). Then afterwords we went our friends' to go swimming in their pool and Alexis did great in the water! She even put her face in the water and so forth, she was proving to me she was growing up!

Then Saturday the 19th, was her birthday party, I was feeling bad because only one of her friends could show up. But my Mom and decided to try calling the family over but we did this at the last minute and Mom called everyone like that Thursday night and left messages so no one had returned her calls so we had no idea who would be coming or not. Just say everyone she called came! I was as surprised as Alexis was. And her birthday party turned out pretty nice depite only having one friend there. :) She got really nice gifts too.

Oon Sunday the 20th was a day of water fun, she just loved having fun with her Wet Slip N' Slide and her pool and her Sprinkler/punching bag.

Pictures:
Us at our friends' pool

Alexis' birthday party:

Alexis having some water fun!!!

Happy 6th Birthday to my Princess!

2008-07-11T01:03:00.000-04:00

I can't believe my Alexis has turned 6 today! I gave her my presents today, then we went to Chucky E. Cheese's and had some Mommny and Daughter bonding time. Then we came back home and celebrated more with the grandparents and with her God Mommy and a girl from upstairs and had a birthday cake.

Had a surprise coming home after the 4th weekend...

2008-07-08T00:49:00.000-04:00

We were robbed! Well, when we first drove up the driveway the back door was slightly ajared and while I was in shock I was not surprised because we had problems keeping that door closed toight for a week or two BUT the thing was my Mom double checked it and made sure it was locked tight before we left Thursday night! But she did go and check things out and did not notice anything out of place or missing EXCEPT our one cat- Angel Prince! At that time we did hear him meowing and coming to us. Thank goodness he was not far from us and came back "home". The question was how long was he out and how long was the door open? Well, according to my PCA/upstairs neighbor when they came home that afternoon (they been at camp for the rest of the time)- my door was closed when they came home Sunday afternoon so apparently my door came open after 5pm-11pm. BUT when I got myself ready for bed and after my Mom left I realized my one bank was open and messed up and all my stuff in it was gone! Then something told me to look in my jewelry boxes and that is when some of my jewelry was also missing! I ended up calling the police about it the next day and then also discovered whoever took my stuff must had taken my backpack to take "my loot" because my backpack was gone as well! And yes I do have my suspiousions of who it may be. And I am sad that this happened because it is childlish and wrong!

Happy 4th of July to us!!!

2008-07-07T00:32:00.000-04:00

Well, this was the lowest key 4th of July I ever had like forever....
it was just my parents and Alexis and I this year and all we did was throw some noise poppers on the sidewalk and lit some caps for cap guns and then later on go see some fireworks at a local amusement park that only lasted about 8 minutes. LOL Then we came home (to my parents) to do sprinklers.
Here are some pics:

School is out...so is the Sickies!

2008-06-17T23:18:00.002-04:00

I have had the stomach flu...and then a sinus infection along with ear infections so back on antibiotics...but also poor Alexis. Last Weds we ended up in the ER because her Ear was killing her that is how we found out she had an ear infectiion and it was confirmed I did have a virus aka the stomach flu and a sore throat as well. (which then 3 days later turned into the sinus infection/ear infection grrr). So, unfortunately Alexis and I really have not had a real chance to enjoy her summer vacation yet!

I am still in disabelieve my kidergardener is no more. And is on her way being a 1st grader!

My Star- Alexis and SCHOOL IS COMING TO AN END!

2008-06-04T00:35:00.006-04:00

My Alexis preformed in her Spring concert last Friday at school and it was so cute!

They did all the grades and Kindergarden was the last group to go up and they sang the song, "School is coming to an end". She ended up also having to go up the microphone to say a line (about the song) but she was an understeady though she was replacing another child who was sick that day. ;)

Here are some pics and a video sample of what they sang:

And here is a video of her singing the song that they sang (I did video it but the sound came out badly so she sang it to me solo! For everyone to hear. ;) )

Well does my face hurt? You Ask

2008-06-04T00:23:00.004-04:00

Well 2 weeks ago it sure did! On a Thurday evening May 22, 2008 I went out to find/meet with someone and well I did not want to be on our nasty sidewalks so I got off of them and wemt our road (off road/back roads) when all of the sudden I hot a pot hole and my face caught my fall. My left upper face near my left eye got it good. My glasses even got bent and scratched up. :( I will need new lens. I was able to the frames back into shape thanks to the optical place where I got them (Sears). Yes, I still got the scabs and bruises but not as bad as they were then.

Kindergarten Zoo Trip

2008-05-17T19:36:00.005-04:00

That is right I volunteered to help out with Alexis' Kindergarten Field trip and they asked all those who volunteered to take their child plus one more. I just wish I did not come down with round @2 of sinus infection attack and nd up suffering during the day as well. I thankfully was able to get another round of antibotics for it as well. But anyhow, Alexis was able to be partnered up with one of her favorite buddies at school and it went well overall depite my sickness.

Where have I been?

2008-05-14T23:35:00.002-04:00

Good question!

It seems every since I got sick, things been so hectic here...I been having company or having friends coming over almost every day or night which made it hard to blog or update about my life.

Of course, I am feeling better but I am still feeling a little of the after shocks of my sinus infection. So I am not completely out of woods yet.

I will update more on separate posts as well, but I had a fanatastic Mother's Day and I discovered I have a little green thumb and her name is Alexis; My daughter.

My Dandelion Gal

2008-05-12T00:11:00.001-04:00

Alexis and her "Wishing Puffs", she was making wishes with them when she found them in grandma's yard.

I have a Green Thumb;My daughter Alexis

2008-05-12T00:03:00.000-04:00

I discovered over the weekend that my daughter Alexis has a Green Thumb. That is right, her grandma and her planted some Morning Glories at her grandma's over the weekend and she really enjoyed it especially when she had her own tow, shovel and a flower pot her size. :)

Mother's Day Made Special

2008-05-11T23:42:00.010-04:00

My daughter Alexis just made my Mother's Day so special the whole weekend:

First by gving me these:

Then I asked her while were shopping for my mom if I could buy me a new "mommy heart ring" as a Mother's gift from her and he said that she would be fine with but she still wanted to buy another gift for me but by herself (with help from another "friend") so she ended buying me this for me:
, a Mother and Child procelin figurine.

She truly made my weekend special for sure, not just because of te gifts but because she kept wishing me a Happy Mother's Day all weekend and telling me how much she loves me etc...but then reality sat in....Monday came. LOL

How Lovely...Sick as a Dog

2008-05-06T23:11:00.002-04:00

What is worse than being sck as a dog in bed? Having your stupid landlord waking you up. That is exactly what happened when I wanted to stay home over the weekend. My landlord decides to barge in my home to do repairs for section 8 without giving me 24 hrs notice or at least giving me the respect of knowing that I am sick and just come back another day since these repairs were not manatory or needed tobe done until at least by May 30th. But no, I ended up having to make sure he did not mess up anything or let my 2 cats out my place. And what made things worse he came at 2:30PM and left at 3:30ish and never came back until 3 hrs or so later and did not get done for the day until almost 11pm (10:37pm). But still had to come back and finish on Sunday! He came back on Sunday around 10:30AM and left around 5:30PM.

I was not happy! Now after day two on antibotics, I am still getting rid of a lot of crap literly but not going in detail since it is tmi. And I am trying to get my voice back since I lost that too since Sunday as well. :(

It Finally happened...Lexie lost her 1st tooth!

2008-05-03T17:41:00.005-04:00

Alexis came home from school Wednesday all smiles but with one thing missing...A TOOTH! Her front baby tooth that is, the one we been waiting for few weeks now.
Just say, since Alexis realized she had a loose tooth she was afraid to eat, sleep or do certain activities because she was afraid it would either bleed to death or she would end up swallowing it. For awhile there it was a very dramatic thing for my 5 year little girl. But this particular day she says her tongue pushed it out as she was playing at the center stations in her classroom. She was sent to the nurses office where the nurse helped her take care of it further and she got a neat tooth necklace of it to store her baby tooth until she got home. I asked her if she bleed a lot she goes no, only a little bit. I told her I was proud of her and also told her, "I told you it won't be so bad, so you know what to expect next time huh?" Now she is freaked out she is going to loose all her teeth all at once lol, poor kid.

Oh I should mention that the tooth fairy did come and give her 4 quaters and at her surprise it also equalled to a dollar! So you can imagine I had a happy 5 yr old on my hands. ;)
She even said to me, that she heard the tooth fairy come but could not see her because she was invisible lol. ;)

Here are some pics of her toothless smile snd her baby tooth before the tooth fairy took it:

Something To Make A Mama Smile About

2008-04-30T00:28:00.013-04:00

This was a "Love Note" my precious Alexis gave me on Monday and I tell ya it has made my day and so far my week! I have it where I can see it and remind myself that I am loved and appreciated by my little girl and no one had to help her or tell her those things as she did this note all on her own.

What also makes this "Love note" special is this was one of her very first notes she has gave me that actually meant something regardless a few mispelled words and grammar mistakes. So I will cherish this note for ever if all possible. :)

**Every Parent should get a love note from their child once awhile regardless how it done or made as long it is made by their heart. :) **

Earth Day Every Day!

2008-04-23T22:16:00.003-04:00

I am my own boss

2008-04-19T16:41:00.002-04:00

I got to remember...

No one can tell me what to do but me! And not to worry what others think of me. I have to starting to trust in ME and do what I believe in MY heart. And others will just have to understand if not...they will have to get over it.

My Thought Of Day for Wednesday April 16th...

2008-04-16T22:00:00.002-04:00

Footprints of God

I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets
of footprints in the sand,
one belonging to me
and one to my Lord.

When the last scene of my life shot before me
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
There was only one set of footprints.
I realized that this was at the lowest
and saddest times of my life.
This always bothered me
and I questioned the Lord
about my dilemma.

“Lord, you told me when I decided to follow You,
You would walk and talk with me all the way.
But I'm aware that during the most troublesome
times of my life there is only one set of footprints.
I just don't understand why, when I needed You most,
You leave me.”

He whispered, “My precious child,
I love you and will never leave you
never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints
it was then that I carried you.”

Margaret Fishback Powers

One of my favorite poems and inspirational stories to keep me going each day!

Why Trees Whisper

2008-04-15T22:09:00.002-04:00

Why Trees Whisper

Estonian Legend
Retold by Anne Pellowski

In the early days of earth, not long after the trees were created and humans were forced to leave Paradise to work, a man went out to the forest to cut wood. The first tree he came to was a pine tree. But as soon as the man lifted the axe he heard a voice cry out.

"Don't strike me. Can't you see the sticky tears that are already coming out of my body? If you hit me it will bring you bad luck."

The man did not indeed see the sticky sap coming from the several cuts in the tree trunk, so he moved on farther into the forest. He came to a spruce tree and again raised his axe. But the spruce tree protested.

"Don't cut me down. You will find me of little use for my wood is twisted and knotty."

Unhappily, the man went on until he came to an alder tree. Once more he raised his axe to strike but the alder shrieked at him.

"Be careful that you don't wound me. Whenever I am cut, blood runs from my heart. It will stain my wood and your axe blood red."

The man went no farther but called out to God.

"How am I to get wood to make fire and to build shelter? Every tree I meet cries out and pleads that I not cut it down."

God took pity on the man and said: "Return to the forest. I will see that hence forth no tree will talk back or contradict you."

The man did as he was told and this time no tree spoke to him. None protested as he cut down to make shelter and to make a fire.

The trees were not happy about this. They dared not complain aloud to God. Instead, they began to whisper softly, each time a person entered their domain in the forests. If you approach a group of trees anywhere, you can still hear them softly whispering to each other. They are gently complaining about their poor treatment at the hands of humans.

For more information on this poem go here: http://www.spiritoftrees.org/folktales/pellowski/trees_whisper.html

I picked this poem today due too what I found outside of my window today...my upstairs neighbors apparently had orders by my landlord to take down three trees and/or bushes from the front yard. And I totally do not understand why accept for maybe for one tree. Now, when I look out my window all I see is one tree/greenry left on now our dirt hill. :( And all I thought was why would they cut down perfect trees that did no wrong and added some green to our place and even a home to many birds who do come on by on my busy city street. It broke my heart to see some of those birds later on pirching on my porch rail and my roof top chripping away confused and/or wondering what happened to their home(s).

I believed The Trees were whispering to my neighbors as they were chopping them down.

My Thought Of Day for Monday April 14th...

2008-04-15T02:48:00.002-04:00

This is my thought of the day for Monday because I am going through something right now where someone that I thought I could trust..I caught lying to me not only once but on several occassions and she calls herself as my friend lol...

This is "Liar" by the Cranberries

Liar

Say it if you want to and say it if you will
But if you don’t say what you are thinkin’
No, I won’t take too kindly to it.

And all I want is something special,
And you can’t give it to me,
And all you do is lie to me,
’cause you’re a liar, liar, liar.

I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar,
I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar...

Say it if you want to,
And say it if you choose
But if you don’t say what you are thinkin’
No I won’t take too kindly to it

When all I want is something different
And you could’t give it to me
And all you do is lie to me
So you’re a liar, liar, liar.

I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar,
I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar...

I’ll fight you, I’ll fight you
I’m fighing you
Liar, liar, liar
You know you’re a liar,
Liar...

Breaking News: We Got A Loose Tooth!

2008-04-15T02:08:00.002-04:00

You Read that right, we got a loose tooth in the house LOL. Only problem, the mouth the tooth is currently in is freaking out! The owner of the tooth is afraid that she'll bleed to death or will swallow her tooth in her sleep and/or will swallow her tooth while eating. Her poor mother is trying to consult her by telling her she won't swallow her tooth in her sleep because her tooth "just won't fall out" and a little blood won't hurt her. But oh my, you would the think it is end of the world! Loosing a tooth for the first time should be an exciting and a memorable moment in a child's and a parent's life not a nightmare lol. She is getting better on the third day of the loosey Toothy but she insisted on packing her lunch because it will be easier on her poor tooth. She been praying to Jesus/God to not let her tooth hurt and bleed and not fall out in her sleep so she won't have to worry about swallowing it and thanks to God he has been answering her prayers. ;) But I tell ya, once this tooth finally does come out it will be much less of a stressful place here lol.

A Week of Stress!

2008-04-10T15:36:00.003-04:00

Monday: Start of the Stress Week, and waiting for long week ahead..Also found out that my gas will be terminated on Friday! So I was told to call an agency to help me pay my bill ASAP..they offered! They told me to meet with them Thursday at 10AM the day before the shut off day-talk about stressful.

Tuesday: Had the Section 8 orientation and found out what is expected of me and what needs to be done to my rental in order for it to pass section 8. And I start to panic since my landlord does have a lot to do and the deadline is May 6th. Also my parents had a big arguement about this hearing I have to go to about my ex-PCA gettin unemployment-they think I told them I did not want her get it and I just don't want her to have it because of our differences...um no it is because she QUIT and had bad work ethics and is saying I had her do things that was not required of her...no that is not true either. So, I am the bad person now in my parents eyes.

Wednesday: I find out more information about the hearing I have to go to from my ex-PCA - she tells me she thought I fired her because of her daughter for not waking up so that is why she quit...um no...I told her...her was job was was on the line...BIG DIFFERENCE!

Thursday: I totally forgot to go to an appointment to make arrangements to pay my gas bill to prevent it from getting shut off! But thank goodness I can go tomorrow and the gas company gave me an extension until next week!

Friday: 9am: Appointment about my gas and TGIF is all I say right now!

Talk about the Worst Walk/Ride Ever

2008-04-02T22:23:00.000-04:00

Ok long story short...I found out today my wheelchair battery is going bad and need a new one but I figured going around the block won't be a bad thing to do so Alexis and I decided to walk/ride around our block, well just say we never made it all the around it before I got stuck in "pot hole" in the sidewalk and a good Samaritan came by and pulled me out of it and I turned myself around to head back home because my battery detector went from one bar gone too all bars gone except for one! In matters of seconds. Alexis was not happy and was being difficult (she was also walking her dolly in a stroller). I felt bad that I had to cut our walk short but still, my main concern was, am I going make it back to the house okay? And worse, up my stupid driveway, I have problems going up it as it is with the peebles/stones in it with full charged battery but with one bar to no power-good grief!

Well sure enough we get to my driveway and I get stuck in my stones and Alexis tried but NOTHING. So my only hope now is asking foe help from my wonderful neighbors from upstairs (who once told me if I ever need anything or get stuck call them-they will be glad to help!) So, I call them, hoping someone, anyone would be home, and sure enough, the husband does answer the phone (sigh of relief) so I let him know I am stuck in the driveway because my battery in my w/c is giving me problems and if there was anyone up there who could help me out....and this was his response....

"WELL NONE OF THE KIDS ARE HOME RIGHT NOW" I was in shock...so my response was..."So does this mean, I have to call my Mother and have her drive all the way here and get unstuck?" And his response back was "Yeah I guess so" And MY response to that was "WELL THANKS!" and I hung up on him!

I could not believe he had the nerve to just let me and Alexis stay out there like that and freeze! It was 35 degress out there and no I did not call my mom I ended up using my feet and going backwards in my wheelchair all the up the driveway into my house PISSED OFF!

And don't worry I am telling the landlord about the troubles im having with the driveway and how his tentants were going to let me stay out and freeze to death! And not give a damn.

Alexis' showing off a Sea Shell Collection & More

2008-04-02T00:31:00.011-04:00

Alexis helped her grandma go her seashell collection plus other stuff her grandparents collected whent to Hawaii and/or Florida years ago. And in return she got enjoy looking at all these neat things....

Her with Hawaii Lava:

Her holding a Seahorse:

With a Starfish:

With a cocanut:

Listening to the Ocean:

And her grandma told her she was allowed ONE seashell but ended up with this instead:

Her Homemade SeaShell Box with some seashells and lava with coral too. ;)

GoodBye Kindergarten Artwork

2008-03-27T19:35:00.004-04:00

Well today I told Alexis it was time to clean out her box full of Kindergarten Artwork since it was literly overfilling and her Artwork was being squished. So instead of just throwing some of her artwork away and making it harder for both of us I decided to take a picture of all the artwork she decided to say "goodbye" too as a keepsake/memory for us. And I could not believe all what she did decide to throw away but we still have a lot she wanted to keep. But I figured down the road we will do this again. ;)
But anyhow, here is a slideshow of all the artwork we said "bye bye" too.

What a Busy Easter we had!

2008-03-26T17:01:00.008-04:00

I hope everyone had a Happy Eastter. Alexis and I had a busy one but a fantastic one.
We got to visit family on both sides of the family and that was pretty special. Here is Alexis with her goodies from her Mommy, Daddy and from the Easter Bunny:

Play Tiime!

2008-03-20T19:45:00.006-04:00

Alexis had some playmates over today (PCA'S great-nieces came over with her). They all had a blast. They played dress up and colored and put up make-up and at the end did "Pocket of Rosies we all fall down!" I was happy Alexis had fun since Alexis does not did get many playmates over or have friends to play with her these days. :( These playmates ages from age 4-9.

You couldn't tell they did not have fun could you? Plus the clothes you see on those kids I gave to Diane (for those kids because they no longer fit Alexis-hard to imagine they fit little girls ages 4-9!!! and Alexis is only 5 yrs old!

Kitties had an Early Easter Surprise

2008-03-20T19:03:00.009-04:00

Alexis wanted to give our Kitties their early Easter gifts today and here is what they thought of them:

My baby has her first loose tooth!

2008-03-20T00:52:00.002-04:00

My mom told me yesterday when she was still at their house that Alexis has a loose tooth in the front and I was a bit sad because I was not there for the special moment but was hoping it will stay loose for awhile like usual so the tooth fairy can come here. And that is when my Mom told me this is what Alexis told her: "Grandma, I don't think I want any apples today." LOL I thought that was too cute! And yes she came home today still with a loose tooth! :)

I been slacking again :(

I been not updating you all on my life and I apologize...I guess nothing really huge has been going on other than my Personal care attentant quit on me on Valentine's day due to the fact she was tired of me accusing of her kids doing bad things and I later find out she was just burned out and needed "a vacation" lol. Her job was just to some minor housework and the the rest of the time she sat on her butt watching tv and talked BS with me...some hard job huh? Oh well, the day after President's Day I got myself another "PCA" and I tell you she is totally the opposite of my other...she can't sit still and is soooo organized it even makes ME sick LOL. She tires me out, I swear. She does have her quirks too but that is for another post. Also, since January I have not been getting no Child support thanks to my ex...he lost his job at the end of December of last year. He had informed me though he did get another job in mid January and it should only take 5 weeks before I should see another check but I have not yet! I have notified Domestic Relations about this and they said they are on it so who knows? But on a happier note Welfare is on my side and I am temporarily on cash assistance for Alexis and in the middle of getting Section 8. Plus my utility bills have reduced my bills because of my income change.

Despite all this Alexis and I are doing great!

My Lil' Easter Bunny

We went to the Millcreek Kiwanis Easter Bunny Brunch last Sunday and they served Pancakes plus they had fun activities for the kids to do and a chinese auction. It was a fun morning/Afternoon and a good cause too.

Here is my lil bunny:

Angel Prince and his ouchie :(

2008-01-16T01:40:00.000-05:00

Well for those who don't know but Angel Prince got a hernia and he pretty much had since his birth but it got worse or noticable when he was about 2 months old. I took him in to the vets in October to have him checked over and get his shots when it was confirmed that he did have a hernia and nothing else. And was told we could wait until he was 6 months or so when I get him fixed and do two birds with one stone and get that taking cared of surgically. As long it didn't get worse or wrap around his intestines and that he was eating okay and BELIEVE ME he is eating JUST FINE. LOL

Well okay it is not really the real thing, it is Springfield Doll collection series from A.C. Moore and only $15.99 but it beats $102!!!! Here two outfits we bought averaged about $13.00 extra but we had a coupon for $6 off so...but hey she did not care.

Oh my where has the time gone! A New Year has Come!

I can't belive it. It has been so long since I posted here. I been a little busy you can say. Some of you know what has been going on my life so I won't bore you with all the details here now.

But I will summarize what has been going on since I been on here.

~Still Single since my ex-bf left me in July.
~Our kitten Angel Prince is now 6 months old but has a hernia but we are looking into surgery as well getting him nutered.
~Alexis is doing great in Kindergarten and we made arrangements for her to take a public transit bus to school so she won't have to walk in the snow or in the bad weather.
~I became a great-aunt again to #4 on December 9th 2007 to Amber Rose.
~My laptop is on it's final leg and I have to use tape to hold its power cord in place or I would not be updating this blog right now.
-Oh yeah, HAPPY 2008 EVERYONE!

I think that pretty much sums it up for now. I will post again if I have anything else to add LOL.

Kittens at 7 weeks and 8 weeks!

2007-09-10T02:02:00.000-04:00

Angel Prince 8 weeks ago!

Miracle 8 weeks ago!

Hard to believe these kittens are 7 weeks here...then below 8 weeks! I helped these kittens be born, their mama gave birth to them here at my home. The mama cat is a friend of mine's who I was sitting for at the time. These two kittens are survivors out of 6. The other 4 did not make it due to the fact they were still stuck to the after birth of the mother cat and we had no clue until it was too late. The kitten on the left lost her back paw because it, but it was either her paw or her life. That is why my friend calls her "Miracle", which is her kitten. The kitten on the right of course is our kitten given by the friend, named "Angel Prince" just because he must be an angel to have gone thro everything he had. He ended up having a belly button scar for the same reason.

My Swimmer!

My Swimmer!
We went swimming at our friends' pool probably for the last time for the summer season and WOW my baby became a big girl this time and wanted to swim without floaties (they had a 3ft deep area). And she finally swam and kicked some water along. She was thrilled so was mommy. She still has some practice to do yet before I or even her will go beyond the 3ft part but who knows maybe we can work on that next year. ;)

A video of my baby swimming! Excuse the conversation(s) LOL
