Poor People Like Me.

This week is my last week of class.. FOREVER!! What the fucking fuck!? Where the Hell did these 2 years ago?? I'm so sad thinking about it! I'm excited about being finished and ready to start my new life with hopefully a new job in the near future, but I'm really going to miss going there and seeing my friends!! I'm going to take lots of pics this last week. August 2, I start my externship. Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit. 160 hours working in a doctor's office. Can I handle it? Will they like me? Will I forget everything and look like a big old dumbass? Working 40 hours a week, with no pay?? I'm trying to get into a doctor that is just around the corner form our house, but if I can't get into there I will have to drive like a half hour one day, which isn't a lot, but when my husband is on worker's comp and I"m not working, that's a lot of gas money for no paycheck. .. So yeah, I'm freaking out a little bit.

We've been so busy lately, I haven't really been in the blogging mood. What? When does this happen?? Most of the house is unpacked and "settled". I say most because there is still various things that need done, but nothing I'm stressing over! We had our housewarming party last weekend and it was a blast! Lots of drunken shenanigans that night!!

We've also been spending lots of time with our new friends. We've been having cookouts and going fishing, and next weekend we are going camping with them! Weeeee!!! My life is actually FUN now. I have friends that want to do things with me and not just say, "oh we should get together some time" and then never mention it again! Or.. just make an excuse every single time. This summer has definitely been a fun one, that's for sure. I usually complain because we never do anything fun during the summer, but we have lots of memories from this summer, that's for sure. I can't believe it will be over in a month. The kids will go back to school and I won't get to sleep in any more (well, once I start my externship I wont get to any more anyway).

My husband has his first shoulder surgery on August 29th. That's one more thing I am stressing out about. It's in Columbus, 2 hours away, and he has to be there for 23 hours (5am). (Soo, not really worth driving back 2 hours just to drive back again for 2 hours...etc.) but we really can't afford a hotel room, and neither one of our moms can take off of work. So, if his sister doesn't come, looks like I will be stuck sitting there for 23 hours by myself just to drive the 2 hour drive home afterwards. What a cluster fuck. I really hope I can find a job soon once I do my externship. My husband is barely making anything from worker's comp.. Someone told him that he could file for disability after a year (September), but he called a lawyer the other day and the secretary said he can't file for disability until his worker's comp. runs out. Sooo, he is stuck making jack shit for money, can't work, is in pain, can't sue his old job for being assholes and now has to have TWO surgeries. So it could be like this for a long time. We really won't be able to survive like this if I can't find a job. He makes JUST enough to cover the basic bills. That is not including the necesseties (shampoo, toilet paper..etc), gas, clothes for the kids, or anything extra. WTF do they expect him to do??? How can his job get away with paying so little, especially when it was something that like 5 other people have been injured doing the same thing?? This country is just so fucked up.

So yeah, I'm pissed right now. Not to mention, my husband is in so much pain he can't sleep, he's grouchy and not fun to be around, on top of being pissy because he feels like he can't support his family. Fuck you Government for always screwing the little people.

Done.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK

This is what happens when I use a butter knife. Seriously?? and yes, I took a photo of it.. guess it's a good thing I'm going to be a Medical Assistant, lol

Giraffe Vacation

Woah I need a pause button. My life has been super crazy for the past month! First of all, we got moved! Yeeeaaaahhh! Finally in our new house, but still not completely unpacked. We are slowly getting there. I'm finally able to begin decorating the walls which I love!! Our house is awesome and I'm so happy here! I'm just ready for everything to be done and in its place so that we can relax a little in our home.

I finished my Phlebotomy class with an A+! Woohoo! I loved the class, and my instructor was just awesome. She was so supportive and encouraging. I got to draw lots of blood from lots of people, but not sure if I would want to be a full time Phlebotomist. I'm still thinking on that one.

I've been off this past week from school and we spent it doing fun things all week. We took the kids to see Cars 2 3D, we went to an African Safari.. one of those where you get to drive through this place and animals come up and eat out of your hand or cup. It was awesome! We fed deer, buffalo, llamas, zebras and even a giraffe! Feeding a giraffe a carrot out of my hand was so f'n cool!! I loved it and the zebras were just so adorable. They also had a small walk through zoo and an animal education program for the kids so that was an all day thing. Friday, a friend of mine had a little pool party at her parent's house who have a very nice in ground pool. The kids had a blast and I did, too, until afterwards. I got soo sunburned, even using SPF 50 sunblock. It hurt so bad. Later that night, that same friend was having a cook out//bonfire that I was lookin forward to. A couple hours after we got there, I got the chills and was shivering, even though it was like 80 some degrees and we were sitting around a bonfire. I was feeling nauseous. I was miserable and we ended up leaving early. I came straight home, covered myself in Aloe, and went to bed, but had a Hell of a night sleeping because my chest, shoulders, arms, and back were burned, so no matter how I laid, I was laying on sunburn. Two days later and I'm feeling better, but still very, very sore. I'm wearing a tank top like a tube top because it hurts to have anything rubbing on the sunburn. Don't worry though, I don't go outside like this, hahal. I don't want to end up on People of Walmart!!

Last night we went to some car races. I've never been to car races before, it was kinda boring, but it was also 97 degrees when we got there, and I was in pain from the sunburn, plus my butt was hurting on the hard ass benches, lmao. It was better once the sun went down, but the kids were kinda bored, too just watching cars go round and round and round and round.. then have to stop the race because a car hit something or spun around... we didn't even get to see any good crashes! wtf?!?!?

Tomorrow is my last day off *cries*, and the only thing we have planned is to watch the fireworks. Guess I can't whine too much because this is my last month of class, then next month I will have my externship which is really going to suck ass working 40 hours a week for nothing.

I've really enjoyed my time off. I've actually made some real new friends! What??! When did this happen? My new friend is actually someone I had a class with a long time ago, and she added me on facebook a few months ago and then we found out that once we moved, we would only be 8 miles from her house, so I actually have a friend to go do some things with now, yeah!!

We have our housewarming party set for July 16. I'm so excited. Quite a few people have rsvp'd on Facebook. I really hope it's a fun evening and will be great for me to be with some new friends and old friends.
