And they're gone!!!

You see that picture up there on my lil family banner? Avery has braids,sometimes I liked him with braids, sometimes I hate the way they looked. The minute he got out the army he grew a fro and corn rolled his hair. Being in the military limited his hairstyle choices, so he just cut all his hair off bald for the 14 yrs he was in the Army. I met him that way, with no hair, see that pic over on the right with lil Avery? That's the Avery I met and that's the Avery I knew for almost 13 yrs.

Lately, he's been doing a lot of thinking out loud, he said he was gonna cut his hair off and then he didn't. I thought ok, whatever, he won't ever cut it off again, but I just sat by silently and prayed that these fucking braids came off. Then today before he headed out to California, he cut them off!!! I gotta say I am NOT sad to see them go!!! LOL

Grades...

are out. They have been out for awhile but I've been kinda busy. I got all A's!!! woo hoo!! Yes I was so happy, I think I smiled for like a week straight! LOL...

Anyway, this being my first post of 2009 I want to take some time to wish everyone a Happy & Healthy 2009!

ME...

Before my math final...I was burned out with school, I always get like this towards the end of the semester. oh well...

But I can't tell you how glad I am this is all over! Last semester I decided that if I didn't do well this semester I would change my major.

Calculus is kicking my ass! Although I have NO idea what happened there. I used to be good at math...but I guess 10+yrs between High School/college, a couple of kids, and a shitload of partying will kill a few brain cells, LOL. So here I go again, next semester brings yet another calculus class into my life(yes I have actually been passing)I am so tired of math. I wonder who is ever gonna ask us if we know the x intercepts of a polynomial function but oh well, what the hell do I know?

A couple of my fav signs...

 

because they won't get in the way themselves... LMAO!!

 

Just like Chicken...Only chicker!

Precious...

 
This is Goliath's daughter Precious. She was born the year Avery went to Korea, about 2 wks after on Oct 21, 2002. She's a great dog. She loves everyone and just wants attention. Unfortunately, because she is a Rottweiler she is now suffering from dysphasia. We have managed to bring her weight down some in the past 6 months, but we are afraid it might be too little too late.
This is the only downfall to owning pets...we outlive most of them...

The Great Immigration Debate

I just love this... couldn't have put it any better myself...

People...

While sitting in the hall of the Liberal Arts building today, I found myself wondering many things.
When you see people walking past you in a hideous outfit, do you ever wonder- How in the world they put that shit on this morning, looked in the mirror and actually thought it was a good idea? Then proceed to actually walk out the door wearing that and go to school.

Have you?

Ever wondered that??

I have, several times today as a matter of fact, and on a daily basis at school. I love to sit back and watch people, I also catch lil snip bits of conversations. Some are interesting, some are just pathetic.

Today, while waiting for a mini pizza at Pizza Hut, a couple argued in line behind me. She wanted to go out with friends Friday night and he, being so fucking insecure, could not see how she could want to spend time with her friends, after all, HE was her boyfriend!?!? She said she was with him almost 24/7, school, then they apparently live together now, cause she mentioned not being able to spread out in her own bed anymore. He told her she was gonna have to choose, her friends or him.

She changed her mind and decided to stay home with him Friday night....This one definitely fell in the pathetic pile!

Yes, the line was LONG! LOL First of all, he was ugly, she was pretty, WTF was she thinking?? I guess she was the one with the insecurity problems, I don't know. Young girls confuse me...but then again, so do older ones, so it's no use in trying to understand people.

I also listened to a couple of military wives while enjoying the pizza later. One's husband is deploying, while the other is moving at the end of the school year. Both hate the fact and complained so much I got sick of it and ended up leaving! I didn't say shit, first of all they don't know me, they weren't talking to me, but they had to have known I could hear them!Both had been married into the military for over 5 years, so I'm sure they know what to expect when your husband's job comes before anyone and anything else. Avery was in the military for 12 years and we NEVER fought about him working long hrs, being deployed, field problems, NONE of that. I know Avery, and I KNOW he would have preferred to be home, but it wasn't up to him and definitely NOT up to me. So he went away, a lot, he went here and there and I stayed home alone with the kids. First it was lil Avery and me, then in Killeen, Jasmyne joined us. It was crazy! Specially when I started working and Avery was gone. But guess what? I did it! and no I didn't send for my mom, or my sister, or run home, I stayed and I did it by myself with my kids.

Until the moment my kids were old enough to go to school, I went to school. That's when I came home, so that I could go to school. Jasmyne was 4 and Avery was 6 so it wasn't that hard anymore.

But you know what? That's life!! People fascinate me, everyone has a story to tell, although stupid people still annoy the hell out of me. LMAO!!!
