Disappointed

I feel like this is going to be a very disappointing year. Mom was going to help me with my trip to England and that fell threw. Checked today and there are only 4 spots left. I sent my money in right way to go to Camp Gotta Crop and I got wait listed. I have been to every one. I am totally shocked. I have nothing to look forward too. I want to get out of this town. I want my trip to Ocala and England. I wanna get AWAY... I was so happy when I got the mail then I opened the letter and I about cried.. I could not believe it. I sent it right back in. I just can not believe it. I worked so hard that night to earn the money for that trip and now I can not go. I have never missed a year now I will probably not put on next years list. This is not fair. I sent Robyne an e-mail to see if her & Diane got in and I am waiting for a response. Frustrated... So frustrated... I applied for a loan for my trip so we will see if I can go to England and Scotland.

Challenge~ What do you think of all the Reality shows on tv?
I think some of these showsa re so fake... The Bad Gils Club, Batchlor, Big Brother, The Real Dresperate Housewives of Orange County--- Big Drama. They are just shows that show stuck up snotty princess. When they first came out they were real not they have gotten so scripted.
On the other hand Survivor, Amazing race and Treasure Hunters are pretty cool shows. You really have to work at etting your prizes. I really like Treasure Huntres when it was on over last summer

Blogger Challenge 1/1/07

Here is the start to one of Blog Challenges I have decided to particapate in. ( I know I have issues with spelling. Don't pick on me about it.)

who is someone that has had a major effect in your life? Why?

Mrs Buckley, My SLD teacher at Central Junior High School. She got me intested in reading and taught me how to focus my mind and to be able to complete tasks. She helped me understand that I was not really different from my classmates that I just had a different way and amount of knowledge my brain would absorb.

A little update

Where to start.. I have been sick for almost 3 weeks and still do not feel 100%. I am tired all the time and still have a nice cough. Christmas was very good. I got the new Quickutz Revolutions. Too cool and can not wait to buy some dies. I am going next friday to buy some paper to make the Valentine's for the Klub QK meeting on January 15th. I also got a new Clock radio, Grey's Anatomy session 2, Happy Potter Hogwarts House bookmarks, A necklace and earring set, a game and a gift card to Target. Yesterday mom and I went to the movies and watched Night at the Museum. That was a great movie. I laughed so hard. Work is work and truly frustrating. I wanna leave but don't want to lose my insurance or don't know where I would work. One of the mom's I watch for is trying to get pregnant and went through IVF about 3 weeks ago and it did not take. The sad thing is her sister got her and the boys tickets to ride the Polar Express and they had to cancel because she was going to ovulate then. All she would have had to do is ask me and I would have gone with them so they could enjoy it. Today I took down the outside christmas lights. Now that is sad because it was a pretty display. Otherwise I am going to spend the night at home with my pups. I have gotten to the point that I do not going out on this night. Plus when you do not know many people it is just no fun. So if you are reading this and are going out please be safe and Happy New Year.

More ramblings

Chex Mix:... Why do they have to put wheat chex in the mix???? If you know me, you know I have a whole wheat allergy. Well I have a weakness for the honey nut sweet and salty mix. So I have to pick through it and pick out the Wheat ones. Well I apparently found just enough to trigger my allergies because I am starting to itch.. I know I should not be eating thme but they are SOOOOO Gooood..
My doctor's appointment: ... Well .. I got some answers...I do not have lupus, inflammatory process going on, and a couple of other things. Althought I have a tendency of spilling slightly more then normal protien. Normal protein is 150 and I am at 200. He does want to repeat the levels in 4 months and see how they are. If normal or the levels stay the same I will repeat the testing 6 months later if they are drasticly abnormal we will consider a kidney biopsy. OUCH!!!!. He does not want to do a biopsy right now because they are painful, sometimes the treatments are more crippling then the process it's self.
Christmas and kids:.... I dropped off presents to all the little ones I babysit for. They all got some sort of book. I know kids get toooo many toys for christmas so I like to give something educational. Walmart has some great disney books ($10 to $14) 4 different ones and have a whole bunch of stories inside. They are short stories to be able to read at bed time. I need to go buy a set of these for me and my library. Kids are like spounges.You give them a little bit of knowledge and they will soak it up. If you do not they shrival up and dry out without learning material. Well I get to Mason & Piper's house and end up playing with the kids and their cousin's in the sandbox. do you know what is it like to be a chunky 31 y/o and play in the sandbox... it is fun.. to have your toes in the sand. Making sandcastles.. That is one of the great things about living in florida. It is 3 days before Christmas and I am playing in the sand.. Not snow but white clean beach sand. hehehehehe in dressier cloths then I usually wear and even make up.. to be a kid again.

My christmas party went well. Even though I was sick most of the week I went anyway. I over heard Dee & Cherie saying they might charge the people who did not show $55. I have been out sick I should not be charge because I do not want to get pnuemonia. I already have a nasty cough. Then Saturday night we had mom's party here.. It has been a stressfull weekend. And lack of sleeps has not helped the stress factor... 3 hours of sleep is a Bear.
#5
Tomorrow I go back to the Kidney specialist and find out my results. Maybe we will have a final answer... Kidney disease or just a person who has hematuria of undeterminaned origin.. I know I will get fussed at about not drinking enough...

a sad day

I play games on a board - Pogo.com. Well tonite I went to play my normal games, I found out tonight that one of the guys I usually talk to on the board was killed in a Head-on Collision today. Very very sad now. He was not much older then I am. He was only 36. It is less then 2 weeks until christmas and to lose a loved one so quickly. Everyone on the board was very quiet tonight. Dixieman you are greatly missed...
