Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just in case all of you (no one) wants to know who it is that is talking to herself on a blog that no one is reading.  Wait I guess that means you Jenn just in case you forgot what you looked like.  My word I need to go to sleep, this computer shit is getting out of control.  P.s. MUMFORD Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!

Insta Chat on Facebook weird moment

There I was Surfing the web, checking out what friends and family have done today on facebook etc.  Not like I haven't been with them or talked them today anyway.  But, it is 1a.m. or something so I was wide awake as usual and everyone else was pretty much snoring away.  There I was minding my own business when chat pops up and it's my ex.  Someone I still love and care about, but don't really want to be with.  Awkward moment, I don't think I have ever just casually chatted with him ever.  We jave always had deep meaningful conversations, (one of the reasons why I dig him), and here we were staring at the chat screen wondering if one of us was going to post anything besides "hey"  Really strange he talked about his music and invited me to go, I said I can't and then he talked about his new guitar I typed "swet" and then "oops I meant sweet" and he sent one of these, :) then we waited for awhile. No one typed.... still no one typed.... then I sent "night" and logged out of facebook as fast as I could. Jeeze when did I get this way?  Awkward moments make great stories, and I usually love them.  Not this time!

Almost Homeless

  It's funny how life works itself out, without any regard to when we think it should.  A couple of years ago I was living in OK with my cousin and two of my best friends in the world.  Then I get a phone call from my sister and she says that my mom has an inoperrable brain tumor.  Just to let you know this isn't what was wrong with her.  She has something called white matter disease.  It manifests itself like the symptoms of alzheimers.  All my life my mom has been my best friend, so I gave up my life and moved back to California to take care of her.  So for the last three years that's what I have been doing.  I was completely stressed out and life was not good.  Not for me or my mom.  Things got progressively worse.  Then in August I woke up to the water running in the bathroom, one of my pet peeves, and my mom was totally listless standing in her room.  I went in and realized that she had gotten into her meds in the middle of the night and tried to kill herself.  I called 011 and the emt came out but before they got there a sheriff showed up.  He watched me like I had done something to her, it was really stressful and sad.  The emt's woke her up with some med, and they asked her why she had taken all her meds and she said that she wanted to die.  Mt whole world crashed down.  Here I had been doing everything for her, she's my best friend in the whole world, and she didn't want to be here anymore.  Well after that I talked to my family and told them that I couldn't do it anymore.  We all agreed that she needed to be in a facility.  We moved her to Sacramento near my oldest sister, and I have only talked to her once since.  I feel so sad when I think about where her life has led her, but I know now that I am powerless over it.  Okay, so I wasn't writing this for sympathy or anything I just wanted to give you some background for the story I am about to tell you.  After my mom did what she did I was left jobless, and had no income at all.  I was able to raise the rent money for the next two months, but in November I still hadn't found work and the day before Thanksgiving, (my Birthday), I got an eviction notice.  Two of my nieces  live out here in southern California.  They have had a horrible time up to this point.  My oldest niece had been completely abandoned from the only father she has ever known, and her and her sister had lost their anchor,(their mom), to drugs and alcohol.  My sister is still alive, and supposedly doing better now, but her lifestyle had left the girls with no mom.  Now my mom, their grandma had tried to kill herself, and I was getting evicted and I may have to move away too.  I decided that I would not abandon them.  I started making plans to live in a tent so that I could see them everydayThere is no way I am going to leave them too!  So, a couple of days before I am going to have to leave a really dear friend calls up and  gives me a wonderful gift.  She had heard me talking about living in a tent, she had thought I was joking,(she is actually a friend of my niece so she thought I was kidding), realizes that I am serious and tells me that I can move in with her.  OMG!  I was so happy.  So I moved in in December and now we got a new apartment and we're moving in tomorrow.  Oh, and I have been going to school off and on for the last 10 years,(mostly off), and now everything is falling in place.  When I was taking care of my mom I couldn't leave the house to go to school or work because every time I did I would come home and something had happened.  For instance one time I came home from looking for work and my mom had the gas on the stove on, another time she had the vent on the swamp cooler on and not the cool air and it was 100 degrees outside, (we live in the desert), so I had to stay home.  But now I am in school and I almost done.  In a year from now I will be working as a nurse and going to CSU to get my BA in History!  I am so excited.  So i was almost homeless, (oh yeah I couldn't get any help from the government either unless I was an ex druggy or prego), and I didn't have a job, and now I am doing everything I wanted to do.  I can tell you for sure that there is something bigger than ourselves in this world, and if you just hold true to those you love and do everything in your life for them no matter what then good things will take over for you.  It's hard, and you want to give up but don't EVERYTHING WORKS OUT IN THE END somehow and someway.

Icecream Makes me shit!

So here I am setting  up my first blog sites, and wondering what the hell I'm going to write about.  You know because we always want our blogs to get noticed.  So I was setting up the templates and profile info when I started thinking about what to write.  Then, like always when we are trying to do something there is always something to interrupt us.  Guess what Icecream makes me shit!  Can we say shit on these blogs? Well okay shit isn't probably a good word so how about poop?  Yeah poop sounds good.  Let's start over.  So there I was starting my first blogs, eating mint chocolate chip ice cream,(not really a big ice cream fan), when all of a sudden I had to shit, oh I mean poop.  I clinched my cheeks and ran to the bathroom, on the way there I stepped in shit...er' poop, what the hell?!  Damn cat,(not mine), so now I have it stuck to my sandal.  I am sitting on the toilet having a 'Blast' while scraping poo off of my shoe.  I get it on my hand, yuck! So now I am wiping my butt with the clean hand, holding my shoe with the ucky one and standing on one foot after that washing my shoe and hands.  Then I finally get done, Oh did I mention cat poop really stinks, and I am walking back to the computer and I reach for my water and bam!  it falls to the ground and all over my shoes.  Well at least their really clean now.  Okay now that all that is done I will start writing my blog for real.  I want to follow my college career, unfortunately I have been going to community college off and on, more off than on for that last 15years.  Yes, I started in 96' but now I am way more focused and things are starting to really get rolling.  I will be done with the LVN program next May and attending CSU in the following fall.  So, keep checking here for embarrassing and fun things or just random bullshit... oh, bullpoop that may have happened.  See ya next time. Love, Jenn
