My Xanga really has more Info

Okay, so I really haven't updated on this site in awhile. I tend to update my Xanga site much more frequently so if you really want to keep up with me, read that site. I was dealing with some personal stresses when I wrote my last post but am now past that. I do realize I am selfish at times and the world doesn't really revolve around me. The last week has involved personal stresses that were more out of my control. My parents were having some issues that somehow I got in the middle of. Well, my sister and I did. For now that is okay. Another situation has taken precedence over that issue. My Uncle Steve is in the hospital in a touch and go situation. He had a major stroke and congestive heart failure on Saturday. We did not think he would make it through the weekend but he pulled through and was doing better...at least responding somewhat. I called my parents earlier and he is once again not doing so well. I am going home in the morning so I will be able to check on the situation myself. Please keep my family in your prayers. This is a bittersweet issue for me because this is an uncle that has caused my mother and grandparents a lot of heartache and strife which really upsets me and causes me to be angry with him. He is an alchololic so it is a disease that took control of him but at the same time, it controlled my mom and grandparents. Just please remember my family in your prayers during this time. Well, I must be off to bed so that I can get up and go to the gym before hitting the road home sometime early in the morning. Happy Thanksgiving!!

Simple Frustrations

I'm annoyed or maybe just hurt by people that don't seem to appreciate nice gestures or showing that you care. I really do enjoy sending random cards and doing random things just to make people smile without asking for thanks or even acknowledgement that I've done it. But, I get irritated with people that act annoyed with I am just showing care or concern. You don't have to be rude to me...especially if I'm the one who has been there for you as often as I can be. I know I shouldn't complain about something small like that when there are greater problems in the world than mine, but I just have to voice it. This seems like the venue to do it on because I don't really know of anyone that even reads this page except maybe Matt a time or two and Matt, if you are reading this, you have always been appreciative and said thanks for the small stuff so this doesn't apply to you. More than anything, my feelings were hurt and I don't think the person that hurt them even cares really. Yes, I do wear my feelings on my shoulders sometimes but that doesn't make it right to not care when my feelings are hurt. Or to be rude to me because I tend to be overly forgiving and forget where I am wronged fairly quickly. You should respect all your friends and not treat any of them like they are dog poo just because maybe they annoy you sometimes. And do you really always know what is going on in the depths of that person's soul when you treat them like you do. Maybe they are hurting over something they aren't willing to share or are embarressed to share because they've been laughed at over the same thing in the past. Sometimes, what may seem minute and small to one person really tears another one up. Appreciate the friends you have because they will be the ones there when you need someone or when there is noone else at all. Anyway, I still don't feel a lot better about the situation but not a lot else I can do at the moment. I did have a nice weekend with my family but it makes me miss them all the more. Anyway, I have to go unpack now.

It's the week that never ends...it goes on and on my friend....

That's how I tend to feel by Wednesday each week. The only thing getting me through this week is the realization that we are off on Monday next week. I am going home and spending some much needed time with family. I get to see my sister's new video of Drake...my soon-to-be nephew. They found out last week that he is a boy and so she has the sonogram video from that. For those of you that do not know, my sister and brother-in-law are expecting my first nephew in February. I am one excited aunt. I've already bought him lots of cute little things and we just found out last week that it is a boy. It is still unbeliveable that I am even going to be an aunt but very exciting all at the same time. Well, I best get back to teaching the heathens that are in my class this year. Have a great day!!

Hmmm....

Okay so I may really have to switch my blog to this one because I can post on it at school. My other one is forbidden by dumb firewalls. Not that I normally have time to post at school or anything. Today the kids are taking a practice TAKS test all day so I have a little more free time on my hands which isn't necessarily a good thing. Having no A/C last night, I didn't sleep more than 2 hours so now I am tired and doing nothing tends to make it worse. I am SOOO ready to go home and have A/C again and SLEEP!!!

Real Info

Okay, I've just now really started figuring out blogspot because I'm computer illiterate so if you want more information about my random life...check out my xanga:

This tends to get used more to post on friend's blogspots than to actually post about myself. Sorry...I may try to post here more often since I am starting to figure it out but until then...check out my xanga!!

Minute Maid park with the roof open. This was when we went to the Astros game on July 4. 

Okay, I'm starting to get this figured out but not enough yet to give up Xanga...give me a little bit and I might. I had a good weekend. I am currently job searching. I like the school I work for now but am wanting to move to the north side of Dallas rather than the south because I feel that it has much more to offer me in so many different aspects of life. I went to a job fair Saturday and have about three more in the month so hopefully one of them will work out for me. Well, it's late and I'm tired so have a great night and God bless!!

Still trying to figure it out

Okay, so I'm still trying to figure all this out and it is really confusing me...basically the add a picture part. I'll get it figured out or get someone to help me one. ARG.

It's me!! :) 

Post Numero Uno

Hello!! I am trying out this new site to see how it works. I've been a Xanga member for a few months now but would like to be able to adjust font and stuff like that. I'll post more later after I get this whole new site figured out.
