My Crush!

I just had to post this video. This is one man that I have had a crush on since I was about 16 years old. Phil Anselmo!! He was the singer of the metal band Pantera back in the day and has fronted a few other bands since their departure. He is now the singer of a band called Down, whom I was hoping to see live a few weeks ago but ofcourse I missed it as money is tight right now! *cries* I did actually meet him back in 1996. I was 19 yrs old and just obsessed with him, lol. I won backstage passes and my friend Kevin and I went back and met everyone in Pantera! I was soo scared and shy to talk to him and he had all of these other slutty groupies surrounding him asking him to sign their boobs!.. He wouldn't even talk to them, which I thought was funny. He saw me standing there all shy and timid and he walked over to me and gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek *dies* and asks me how I am! I told him how honored I was to meet him! My knees were knocking like something you would see in a cartoon haha! .. That was a night I will never forgot and I still have the signed poster that the band signed hanging on my wall!.. The guitarist from Pantera was shot and killed in 2004 right here in Ohio at a show his new band was playing. There was a lot of name calling and blaming going on within the band members and Phil was shunned and not even allowed at the funeral! He had some back problems and was off touring for awhile after that. Now his band is back on the road and I missed it, damn it!! This video is of him back in August. He is in his 40s and still looks like he's in his 20s! I dont even know what it is about him that I find sooo attractive.. his sexy deep voice or his I dont give a fuck attitude?? I dont know but I likey!!!! (and yes, my husband knows about my infatuation! lol).

Im slow!

Ugh, I'm still trying to get into the routine of going to school and doing homework on top of everything else that I need to do! It's been difficult and I've been slacking on the things that are a little less important such as blogging lol.. and some cleaning (eeek!). I finished my first class with a 96! Woohoo!! The college I'm going to does one subject a month, which has its good points and bad points. I like only having ONE subject to concentrate on but it sucks that once you start to really get comfortable with the other students then you have to switch to a new class with some new people! Grrrr! But, I do love school!!! I love it!! I love getting out of the house and making new friends plus I am really enjoying learning new things. My next class is basic computer literacy and looking through the book it looks pretty easy and basic!

Anyway, fall is here! I like the weather and the pretty colors but I hate that winter is so close! I hate winter! I hate snow! I hate having to bundle myself up and 3 kids up every day. Ugh, I'm not looking forward to it at all!! The summer went way too fast.. but it always does and winter always creeps by slowly!

All of the kids are in school now. The twins are in preschool so they only go from 12:30 - 4 but it's nice having a break. Even once my oldest gets home at 2 he is normally pretty quiet when he's by himself. I'm not sure how we are going to do things this week. My van died on my a few days ago. It's old but we were hoping it would last until income tax time .. but it didn't, the motor tied up so there's really not much we can do with it apart from junk it! Ofcourse we have no money to get another vehicle so I'm probably going to end up taking my husband to work which means MORE running for me. Ugh! Why can't things ever be EASY or why can't we ever get a break?? hmmm???

I'm exhausted today. We took the kids to see the Erie canal and ride on the canal boat, it was fun but I'm tired now!! I will try to write more sometime this week. I have the week off of school for "fall recess" all ready!

I'm too old to go back to school!!

Instead of life slowing down it just gets busier and busier! My oldest started Kindergarten last week. He seems to like it and I think he has fun! He's all ready made 3 friends so that makes me feel better! He takes after me a lot, he's very shy and quiet around people he doesn't know. My twins go back to preschool in a few weeks, finally!! They are the total opposite of our oldest son. They are both very outgoing and they talk to everyone. I will be glad when I get a little bit of quiet around the house! As I'm typing this the my daughter is screaming and whining because her brother is "copying her". All they do is bicker and argue, drives me crazy!

I just started school lastnight. I go from 6-10 pm three days a week. It's very tiring, I had a hard time staying awake for 4 hours, especially through a boring class like Professional Development! Blah! But I will get through it and to be honest, it's nice to get out of the house and some time away from the kids, plus I've all ready made a good friend there! Im nervous about having the time to get everything done but I know if others have done it, I can, too! I will just have to arrange my schedule a little bit differently. When the twins start preschool I will have to take them back and forth so there will be even more time out of my day *sigh*. Oh well, I will get through it!

I'm trying to make a decision about school. I was originally planning on going to be a Veterinary Technician, however, the Vet. Tech. classes were filled up, so I was put in the Medical Assistant program and told to go down to the records office in a month and tell them that I want to switch my major to Vet. Tech. and I would be put on the waiting list. Medical Assistant really was my second choice! However, I thought med. assist. was just doing paperwork and taking blood pressure.. etc.. I found out at orientation that they do just about everything including giving injections and drawing blood (I always thought a phlebotomist would be interesting, too). So, now I'm not sure what I want to do. I really have a passion for animals but being a Vet. Tech. I would deal with animals dying and being put to sleep and the possibility of being bitten! Plus, to get your degree you have to work with large farm animals and to be honest, I'm scared of horses. haha! Don't laugh! I've always been very nervous around them, I think because of their sheer size. On the other hand, I'm a very shy person and am not good with talking to people I dont know and that would be part of my job, to talk to patients if I were a med. assistant, but I would have that with a vet. tech. as well as I would still have to talk to their owners! It's a hard decision to make...

I've also been trying to squeeze in some workout time. We got some new bikes and I just love going for bike rides with the family.. and it's great exercise which I desperately need!

I'm hopefully going to see some bands play this weekend. There's a benefit show for this guy that killed himself last month. I did not know him personally but have quite a few friends who knew him. I guess his family couldn't afford a funeral for him so these bands are trying to raise money to have a memorial for him. Should be fun as I will know quite a few people that will be there and it's for a good cause.

Oh and taking the kids to the fair Friday night. Ah I love the fairs every year and so do the kids! Even though I dont ride any rides I still love to go and see everything and all of the animals.

I will try to post in here as much as I can. I do really want to write in here, it's just finding the extra time to do it!!
