Much to the amazement of many, I'm still around. Just busy as all fuck.
Miranda's modeling career has rocketed. She quickly became one of the top three at the agency and a highly requested model. She missed the snowboarding shoot because the Indy's airport closed down due to ice. But he made up for it at the last shoot, spending a full day on her alone and wearing her out. He commented to me in an email that she was the most mature, on time and responsible out of his group of 12 that attended the photo shoot. He's impressed with her ^.^ that's my girl.
Softball season is kicking off and I'm becoming swamped with that.
I'm also a full-time student, going for my BS in psychology, then my master's. Luckily 46 of my credits transferred so I'm halfway through my bachelor's already :) that was a huge perk. The classes are intense with 1-2 academic papers due per week, some up to 1600 words and involving tons of research. Each class is 5 weeks in duration. The last one, some chick made it a point to single me out and target me for arguments, even insulting me twice. That was much fun to handle. I would love to see the instructor's comments on her participation :) I found out I suck at math. No surprise.
I spent three weeks in California while a friend had surgery. I helped take care of her aunt, then her as well post-op. Then I'm traveling to Wyoming in June to visit her and several other friends for summer solstice. I'm very excited, evidently the festival is huge.
My kids are ever the entertaining troupe. Stephy thinks 'penis' is what you feed elephants at the zoo. She's just too damn cute.
Dre' lost his iPod and flash drive, forgot his wallet in my bathroom and keeps leaving his cell phone in the van. Yet he remembered a girl's birthday who lives in Ohio because "she's that hot girl with the accent". Boys.
Cara is still my tomboy genius with straight A's and kicking ass at softball. After only two practices, the All-Star coach already told us she's definitely on the team this year. He wanted her for the team last year but I asked that she stay with her req season coach, so she went to the B-team for All-Stars instead. The A-team All-Star coach wasn't happy, but he understood. This year he's snatching her up from the beginning, not letting anyone have a chance, lol!!
My mother is the same. Eventually you'd think she might realize SHE is the problem at work with as many people that have quit on her, because of her :) but no, she finds reason to blame them, or lies and says she fired them. Borderline personality disorder/psychosis if you ask me.
My baby brother and sister are growing up soooo fast. They're cute, and smart as hell! My older foster sister is a gem, I love that girl bunches. She's taken for granted far too much by my mother and I feel sorry for her. The boy on the other hand, is a jackass. He stole Julie's credit card and charged nearly $200 worth of clothing on it. Julie gave the clothes away and was making him work to pay off his debt. Mom of course eventually let him out of his punishment, as she always does. Then he broke someone's window with a brick. Of course, he got out of that punishment as well and was allowed to go on vacation with them to Florida this past week. Then they find out he stole the $800 that came up missing from Julie when she drew it out of the bank to make a payment on the mortgage. She had to draw out more to make the payment. What the fuck? And my mother has nerve to try to lecture me about my parenting? My kids aren't thieves, they don't destroy other people's property and I don't get phone calls on a weekly basis from the principal about misbehavior in school. Actually, I've never received a call about any of my kids misbehaving :P
My mother is such a dumbass. It was rewarding to use her as a case study for one of my papers :) I got an A, heh. I actually don't speak to her. We got into a fight back in November or December where she pushed me several times and called me a bitch. Then lied to everyone and denied the entire thing. On the very rare moments when I've had to speak with her, it's been cold and impersonal, and quite by accident. I stopped by to see the babies one day and completely forgot what day of the week it was. It ended up being her day off. I barely said one complete sentence to her. Other than that, I don't call her and if she calls my phone, I don't answer. She had my sister call me and leave a message asking me to fill in for their receptionist who was sick. I never returned the phone call. Like I'm fucking stupid to step foot into that clinic? Kiss my ass, after pulling your head out of your own ass Mom!
She has fucked up one relationship after another in her family. Neither of my brothers have anything to do with her either. Her grandchildren don't speak with her, even my brother's kids. Pretty much she has alienated everyone. And at the rate she's going, Julie won't stick around to put up with her bullshit much longer either. If she saw how much money mom gave away to patients... she'd have an embolism. She thinks the clinic doesn't make any money. It does, mom just blows it on stupid shit or patients.
So, enough of the bitch.
Life is ever busy. I rarely have time to WoW anymore. Which is sad, because I really like that game. It's a good stress reliever. Smacking the shit out of horde appeases the bitch in me. Getting spanked doesn't bother me, unless it's by a level 70 asswipe and I'm 40 levels lower. That's just... well gay :) but I don't bitch, just go back to my corpse and continue on until the next horde crosses my path. I was doing fairly good considering I had around 100 kills by level 30, and I'd never been in a BG :P
Anyway, some new pics of my baby, these are the latest:
