Happy Mothers Day to all my mom Friends out there. Even the Step moms out there.. Hope you are spoiled rotten by your loved ones. I don't know if I will be or not but hopefully some what. I will have some new photo's up for you this weekend hopefully. the girls got a suncatcher from a friend of our and they will be working on them later today to get them done by tomorrow. I bought one today to see how well the paint will stick and its really light. So hoping the girls will listen when it comes time to do them.
We got the pastel colors because mom here didnt like the darker colors. but i think we should have gotten the darker ones. But you live and learn.
Oh yes update on roommate status.. One room mate has moved out. Well he kind of got kicked out and then told he had two weeks to find a place but came back the other night and picked up his stuff and left. It was Tyler. He wasnt taking care of the room and he wasnt giving us rent so Jeff said he had two weeks and out the door he went and came back about five hours later and got his shit and left. I feel bad but he was a slob and it was making my whole house stink. He was staying down stairs but still you could smell it up here.
Jeff and I helped him out loads and by helping us he got the room all stinky and then he was stealing from us also. He was taking my change out of my change jug. I know you think that isnt alot of money but five dollars here and five dollars there is alot of money. Its ten dollars we could have had to ourselves if we wanted to go out and do something together. I wasnt able to keep my soda in the fridge. he would drink it all before i got a chance to drink any of it so I was either drinking warm soda or having to use ice cubes all the time.
Anyway that is what is going on here. Oh yes one more thing. Jeff and I are in the National Honor Society at school and the person running the show right now until we get a president and vice president and such liked my craft fair idea. Its to help the school get things we need for the new students. Like I got a 200 dollar portable hard drive this quarter to put all my things for networking on there. Like my windows 7, my server 2008 and then next quarter there will be more stuff we add to them. then when we are done with school I will erase all of that and clean out our computer and put my photo's on there as a back up just incase the puter goes down on me.
Life is so hectic right now. I want to cry sometimes. But I am ok otherwise. I need to get going. I will try and post photo's of those sun catchers tomorrow or Sunday. Again HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MY FRIENDS.

MY newest items on Zibbet.com
These are my newest items I made and put on my Zibbet page. I haven't been working with Etsy alot lately. Zibbet is free to list and free if you keep it to 50 listings. I haven't made any sales there yet but hoping maybe soon I will. I am looking at doing something here soon and changing my tactics a bit. From bigger items down to smaller items. Maybe just headbands, book makers, x-mas ornaments, and such. I haven't made a decision yet on that one. I don't have much time to crochet anyway yet even though I am learning to balance my time since I am no longer working right now.
I found this page on our Student Portal for school and I haven been working on my typing skills. I have gotten up to 54 wpm (words per minute). I am trying to teach myself some stuff while I learn at school also. Anyway I need to go find some brunch. Hope you enjoy the photo's. if you are interested in any of my stuff I post here and don't want to sign up for my shops to buy get a hold of me via e-mail and I can let you know what i want for these items. I also have a hat and mittens I forgot to list.

Still Looking for Work
Morning all. Its morning here at least.. Its early and I am sitting here waiting to make a phone call while listening to The Wizard of Oz while the girls eat breakfast and watch the movie. I have had several job offers in the last week. I tried one of them but it was house keeping and the hours got in the way of school. I had to pick Jeff up Friday and get him to the school early and I was late and then he didn't get his lab done for class and we ended up bickering because of it. So I had to tell the temp agency I couldn't do that job because I didn't know when I would be done and I need to be done by a certain time. I have a job offer now I am sitting here waiting for also. Otherwise I would be sleeping again.. HE HE...
I am enjoying my time with the girls but I need to get back to work soon. I need money also and I am not selling anything on my sites. I have considered just giving up on both of them. I have some more stuff coming out but its the point of taking the photo's and having people tell me my photo's suck every time I turn around. I do what I can do and if they don't like it tough. but that isn't a good business way of thinking. I made a hat I have been trying to recreate for a long time and I gave it to Bri when I finished it the other day. I can take photo's of it and show it here but its not even on the back side. Lets just say she looks like a flower when she puts the hat on.
Always lots going on. I am getting one A, B+, and a B. My A is in my Saturday class, My B+ is my Monday class with Windows 7. And my B is in my worst subject Math. I am hoping we can get my College Math 2 out of the way this quarter where I don't have to worry about it. I don't want to go a quarter and then have to take Math again. I want to get it out of the way but we don't pick and choose when we want to take things. The school does that for us. That is what I like about ITT-Tech. Its a good school I think. I have had people tell me how awful it is. but you know what that is for those people who start and then quit and don't put anything into there education really. Would it be any different if it was the States University?? I mean my Saturday class started out with like 15 people now there are only 9 of us. And several of those 15 people had taken this class before and failed it because they never showed up in the first place. Well how do you expect to pass a class when you don't show up in the first place?
The girls are growing like weeds. I just cant believe how fast they are changing. I showed the girls a video that the hospital here took of Kora when she was one day old yesterday. She was so tiny. she was hooked up to all the monitors because she was in the NICU her first week. They were trying to get her to cry and she just layed there in her little crib and slept away. But you think she was that good when we brought her home.. Yeah right. That's all she did when we brought her home was cry. Its like I would have rather had her cry all the time in the hospital. but she grew out of it about 4 months old. the Dr wouldn't admit that she was border line colicky. She didn't cry night and day so he couldn't say she was colicky.
We are waiting for Tyler to move out finally. He is slow moving but trying to save his money. We all want him gone. Its been a rough rode. I have to be honest I want everyone out but at least Brianca and boyfriend help around the house. they both help with the girls while we are at school and make dinner and such.
We took Jeff back to the Dermatologist yesterday and he gave us some more creams for his legs and such. Jeff has psoriasis on 30% of his body now. And we also got this spray stuff to put on in the mornings. But the cream he gave us with out insurance would cost us $1,000 a tube. Yes I said ONE THOUSAND dollars. That is what the pharmacist told us yesterday before we left Walgreen's. But with his insurance it only cost us about 83 dollars.
I am so tired but waiting to make my phone call and then I will lay back down for a bits and then get up and get ready for school. I cant wait to get back into the working field. I have been told twice this last month that I will make a good Networking Systems Administrator. By two different people. My Monday and Saturday teacher thinks I have the drive for the job and the head IT person at the school wanted to hire me as a student worker because he thought I would do a great job in learning the job. Not just putting the computers up and such but learning the job. Jeff even said i am doing well with learning. I have found myself a tutor in directly when I am struggling with my Windows class. He is in my class too so we work on our home work together on Fridays in the library while Jeff is in class.
I know I am rambling again and I am sorry but I get so excited talking about school yet to this day. I am glad I went back when I did. It feels like its too late sometimes but we will manage. I dread to see us paying off these loans we have to take out each quarter but in the end it will worth every penny. Well I suppose I better get going. I will let everyone know about the job possibility's later today. Have a great day my friends. Miss those of you who dont blog much anymore.

Not so sure I like this Google Chrome
Hiya there. I upgraded to google chrome today and I am not so sure I like it yet. Our holiday went nice. Saturday after school we went to our local zoo. And I have some awsome photo's to share with you all. Jeff got one of me petting a billy goat. Its so cute and then one of me feeding the same one. Of course we got pix of the girls. The top pix is of Jeff and I all dressed up for our Career Fair for school the following day. We were showing off. I didn't bother putting my nylons on for this little photo shoot or my shoes. I wore a darker colored pair of nylons and white dress shoes to accent my shirt and off set the black skirt. I was told by everyone how nice I looked. there were lots of Turtles out Saturday too.
Also Jeff and I have been invited by the school to join there National Technical Honor Society. Its due to being in school every week and having good grades. I am struggling with College Math 1 and have to take the second one next quarter.
The second set of photo's was taken a few days before I quit my job before we left the house. It was just pink outside and beautiful morning. I love how the clouds look pink and some lightly white in there too.

I walked off the job today...
Hi peeps. I got sick of being talked down to at work today. I have complained several times about the job. Liking but sick and tired of the bosses shit. Well today she told me to my face I wasnt good enough and she wished she had one of her other better people over in the testing lab. Well I went down stairs to go to the bathroom and call Jeff. I asked him how mad he would be at me if I walked out. I explained to him what she was saying and he told me if I could get out go.
I walked into the break room with out saying anything to her about me leaving, grabbed my lunch box and left. I am sick of her shit and dont need it. I have other things coming up in my life right now that I dont need her shit. I have several job possibilities. I have one as a student worker for the Head IT (Networking) person at the college or one through a temp agency but a technical proffessional one.. They hire IT's. (Information Technology). That is what I am going to school for.
School is harder this quarter but was expecting that. Life is still stressful. but its life right? LOL.. Anway not to much going on in the R house hold right now. Well there is but cant talk about that right now. I am just so tired. We had a career fair about two weeks ago and I just filled out the one online application I was telling you all about just now. I took the assessment test and hopefully they will call me back soon. I feel I did well with it but you just never know. I hate when they judge someone on a test. Its stupid really.
Jeff is sort of working in his field also. He is working at home, parttime for a place called Cyber Works. They make custommized computers and fix old ones. Well he got his first job with them by having to fix and ACER monitor. All that was wrong with it was it had a dirty plug. LOL.. They were going to throw it out and get rid of it. Jeff fixed it in like ten minutes.
But the manager over there has some more work for him. so lets see where this leads us. We still have roommates and one maybe leaving us soon with us kicking him out. Just stuff that I cant discuss but you can use your imaginations..
I feel like a thousand pounds have been lifted off my shoulders. I know I am bouncing here but I am having a hard time keeping my thoughts straight today. Esp with walking off the job and trying to figure out where to go next.
We have some good news too. We got the car insured about two weeks ago and found out we can chase the lady that hit me back in November and get money from her for our car even if we didnt have insurance. So we are working on that as we speak. We are going to put anything we get towards the car. Its a bill that has to be paid sometime or put it in the bankruptcy if that is what we have to deal with. I dont know whats going on exactly. I just know I need to get back to working and into something that wont be like the BITCH!!.
She could whip out her cell phone and start texting or answer her phone but mine has went off several times and she tells me if mine goes off again she is going to confiscate it. She said alot of things to just me. I am done with that place.
Anyway I have to get going. Talk to you all later. Will try and make rounds later this evening before homework. Miss you all loads.. Some still visit regularly and some have diappeared to Facebook..

2nd Quarter Starts Tonight
Hiya peeps. I have promised to keep up while on break and didn't. I was enjoying my time off reading and spending time with my beautiful children and the warm weather we have had here. I have been horrible since school started. I am home sick today though. But going to class tonight. I had to take one day off to recoup for work tomorrow. We all have been sick here for weeks now. But I have some photo's for you all.
These were taken on Saturday when we went out to Wequiak Falls WI. Its a small waterfall that comes in from Lake Michigan. We werent feeling well but needed to get out of the house for an hour or so. Just to get some clean air in our lungs.. Hope you enjoy..
