Poor Gus has been pretty sick. He woke Dane and I on Sunday morning by moaning/meowing. He never meows.. After I looked him over and saw blood by his "parts", we rushed him to the emergency vet clinic on Sunday morning.
He had a blocked urinary tract, which if not treated right away is fatal. He just came home yesterday and last night was horrible because he was trying to go and couldn't get anything out.
We spent $1200 for that visit. And now it's possible he will have to go back and we will have to get charged for the same exact thing that they didn't fix in the first place?!?!
Anyways, I came home from work this morning to find wet litter AND he's been going a little bit every 10 minutes it seems, which is good. Now we just have to make sure this continues.
After getting attitude from work and setting up/canceling vet appointments and making at least 20 different phone calls back and forth to vets, this morning has been a horrible morning.. I can't concentrate when one of my pets is sick and I don't know how to fix it.. |

To put it simply: I think I (as well as the cook) were written up. But that's fine because I plan to call corporate unless I can talk to somebody else that matters and can do something. And I didn't do music & me. And I really think we are all going to go on strike. Everyone has agreed to it, we are just scared of what could become of it.
If it weren't for my sweet and adorable kids, I would have been gone long ago. |

I haven't updated since before the wedding.. which is weird because now I feel like I have to talk about that. But I don't want to.. there's just not much to say besides that I had a lot of fun and it was pretty much everything we wanted. All of the stress was worth it because it turned out better than we expected (minus a few things that went wrong, but really, that stuff was so unimportant and didn't even measure up to all of the good/funny things that happened.. and at least I didn't pass out!). I am glad that I don't have to plan another wedding as the bride. I don't care what anyone says, it's terrible advice to say "just take the couple weeks before to relax".
Of course we did do a lot of do-it-yourself sort of things, which didn't help.. BUT! I am not complaining. I wouldn't do anything differently.
And also the honeymoon.. we had so much fun. We both experienced many new things together. The trip was really long though. I missed Bug and Gus and my kids at KinderCare. But it was so nice and relaxing. We stayed in some nice places too. If there's a good time to take a super long and expensive trip, that you can't afford to do often, it's right after going through a lot of stress.
But that was about 2 months ago, so it's not news worthy now.
Anyways, the reason I am updating is because I didn't have to work this morning. I don't remember the last weekday that I didn't have to wake up at 5:15 am. Speaking of working. Next week I am taking on a new nanny-ish sort of job. It's only two afternoons a week though (that's all that KinderCare could cover me for), but I am so excited. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids at KinderCare, but it's nice to not have to open and close the building every single day. This is a good way for me to start breaking away, too.
Oh! And Dane's birthday is tomorrow. We plan to go out to eat. I already gave him one of his presents last weekend, which was a surprise trip to Six Flags. We went with his bandmatez, my sister, my brother, and my dad. It was SO MUCH FUN! It was a perfect day and wasn't crowded. They even convinced me to go on the small roller coasters, which were fun, but scary! I don't think I have ever screamed so much in my life. But really, I don't remember the last time Dane and I had so much stress-less fun..
THe other news, that I don't really know anything about, is that we might possibly be moving within the next few months. We will see though..
Well anyways.. that is what is up with my life at the moment. I will try my best to update more often, but I make no promises. |

It's been months and months since I last posted. Dane is away for another couple of hours and I feel like I have nothing to do. I could be sleeping, but I hate sleeping.
My head itches because I had my hair trial today and I just took my hair out after 6 hours of leaving it in. I'm pretty excited. After not having a clue about my hair, the stylist did a really good job and I like it a lot.
We have been crazy with working on wedding stuff the past week. It's coming up fast. I know we will finish everything but it's a little overwhelming right now. Everyone keeps telling me to just relax and enjoy this time because the actual day goes by too fast. But all I know is that we have a whole list of things to do still and these things won't do themselves. So there's not much time to relax.
But don't worry, I'm not too stressed. Just every time I think that next week at this time it will all be over I suddenly feel that nervous feeling.
And then I have to leave my children for 3 weeks. And Gus and the pug. That will be sad. But I'm so excited for our honeymoon. It will be so nice to not worry about anything, except getting lost, for once in a long while.
Anyways, it's almost 2:00 in the morning and I'm just not as young as I used to be. I just can't stay up so late anymore.
Please oh please don't rain on friday or saturday!!!!!! |

I'm so upset right now. I just got back from having lunch with my mother.
She informed me that my brother, who just graduated Navy boot camp, found out that if over 30% of his montly Navy income is spent towards debt (so car loan, student loans, and credit card bills), then he has to go to Iraq in 3 months.
What?!?! So going through 2 months of boot camp wasn't the hard part?
I'm so pissed off that they can do that. Basically 800 people were tricked into this. They were lead to believe that 2 months of boot camp and having no freedom and not being able to talk to anyone was the hard part and once they got over that then it would get better. Not 100% better, but still, better than boot camp. And who would think that Iraq is better than boot camp?
I'm just so scared for him. This is not what he signed up for. |

I just had pretty much one of the busiest weekends of my life.
To start, my brother graduated from Navy boot camp on friday morning. My family came to pick me up at 6:30 in the morning and we got through all of the security junk at 7:45. So, we were sitting on the bleachers waiting for a whole hour and fifteen minutes.. it was pretty boring, and those seats are never comfortable. But once the ceremony started it was really cool.
It was weird seeing Nate after not speaking to him or seeing him for 2 months. I felt proud of him, even though when he left 2 months ago I was sad and in ways upset. I was upset that he joined the Navy. He had a life at home.. why did he want to leave it behind?
My brother said that so many guys had their girlfriends and fiances break up with them. Many of them had pregnant wives. And I just wonder why? Is it worth it? But something opened my eyes at the ceremony, and I don't know quite what. Maybe it was the fact that 843 people graduated, and they have graduations once a week.
I just realized that so many people wanted and chose to go through this. And nobody made them do this. It was tough, but something in those guys, and a few girls, wanted it bad enough to go through with it..
So, it turns out that I'm proud of Nate and I'm glad that he went through with this because I know he really wants to do this. Don't get me wrong, I would always support my brother. But I no longer wonder why he chose this route in life, and I no longer wonder if he only did it because he felt there was nothing better for him. He was proud of himself and he's happy.. and I actually saw that this weekend. That's what matters.
But anyways, we thought he would get friday off after his graduation to hang out with the family (actually, we weren't planning on it because nothing was certain). But instead, he found out he could have the whole weekend at home.
And then my grandma, my aunt, and my mom's uncle came up too, since they found out that Nate would be home..
So it was a busy weekend. And KinderCare was closed yesterday.. only we had to train from 8:00-5:00. It was fine enough, but 8 hours of lecturing is never fun no matter what it's about.
After the long weekend, I'm pretty exhausted and I just worked 1 1/2 hours and I have to go back again. But, I just saw my favorite little boy at work and he gave me a hug. That always makes my day.
And plus, I have a whole week free from classes now. My last class took a lot out of me. |

I would rather hear the truth than have somebody tell me what I want to hear.
I'm not exactly sure where some people get the idea that lying will make everything easier. If the truth sucks, then it's going to suck no matter how long one avoids it.
Ever since I was really young I have been obsessed with cats.. it has always been more than a normal obsession.
I don't know why, but I think it was because I was probably a cat in my past life.
The problem with liking cats so much is that I could never refuse one.. But the problem with never refusing a cat is that it will eventually lead to heartbreak. And I swear it gets harder each time. How does a person deal with it, especially when nobody understands?
By the way, it was Dane's birthday today. I feel horrible because the day sort of had a few unfortunate twists occur. But we plan to postpone the awesome-ness until after tomorrow. Only because Dane has parent's night tomorrow and won't get back until late. |

For the past 3 weeks, every teacher in each room at KinderCare has been preparing for today.
Today we were observed by the corporation. We had a HUGE checklist we needed to follow. Every room had to be spotless and perfect. Everything had to be dusted. Windows had to be cleaned. Art work had to be at the child's eye level. And seriously, in Infant A, we had TONS of art work we put up. Every room had to be spotless and perfect and the teachers had to be just wonderful.
We were actually really nervous. Apparently last year the observers were really strict. They criticized every little thing and even the teachers.
Well, this year, the big day, they spent no more than 2 minutes in each room. They came in, looked around, mentioned "oh, that's cute" at any random thing and then left.
Let's just say, we were pissed! We spent 3 weeks preparing for this moment. Even teachers who got off work at 2:30 or 3:00 stayed until 6:30 every day (and didn't get paid) just getting their rooms ready. At this point we wanted the criticism because we felt like all the hard work would pay off.
But no.
Actually, we did get told we had the best center of all the ones they went to today (they observed 6). That's always nice. But man, that was just not right. |

I just took this picture of Bug. He has gathered all of his toys onto the blanket that Dane's grandma made for us (which by the way is his favorite blanket).
As you can see, he has pulled the toilet brush from the bathroom (don't ask, he has a weird obsession), he has his stuffed pug that he pulled out of his cage, his hamburger, our dish towel that we hang on the handle of our stove, my blow drying brush, and there is even a pen in there.. And now he is laying in the middle of it all, taking turns with each toy and making the weird little squeaky noises that he makes when he is having an intense play session. |

I'm in the process of reading the Fountainhead. I love the book but for some reason it is taking much more time than expected. Usually I can read a book in about a week or two. And this is so not the case here. I'm too embarrassed to even continue..
But I will. I've decided that there are far too many awesome sounding books out there. Maybe it runs in my genes, afterall, my mom does own 5 bookshelves stuffed full of books, and then some. Last time I went to the bookstore I bought three new books. And I can not wait to read them.
Now, I realize that I probably come off as smart here, but reading really is one of my best hobbies.
I have started my summer reading list.
Books I can't wait to read:
Rant: An Oral Biography of Buster Casey by Chuck Palahniuk
Saving Sailor by Renee Riva
Little Children by Tom Perrotta
The Hidden Diary of Marie Antoinette by Carolly Erickson
Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
Pigs in Heaven by Barbara Kingsolver
Books I hope to read again:
Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs
The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen
Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk
Diary by Chuck Palahniuk
That's all I can think of at the moment. I plan to go to Barnes & Noble and make a list there..
I would love reccomendations!!! |

I can't believe Spring is really gone.
She was the greatest cat in the whole world. She had the cutest little black nose. She had the sweetest meow, and she always greeted me at the door from on top of the refrigerator.
She knew her name. She knew how to play fetch. She loved sitting on Dane and I. And she even knew that when I called "kitty treat", it meant something good. She was the ultimate cat.
I haven't lived without her for 13 years. I've known her since I was 8 years old. I don't know how I will get through this.

My family adopted a puppy over the weekend. He's sooo cute! Dane and I went along for the trip to the animal shelter to pick one out.
He's a beagle/coonhound mix. He's very beagle looking, but will be much bigger. Right now he's 4 months old and already as big as a full grown beagle.
I've seen Dane do this enough times to know how to now.. Here is Musket (yes, that's what my family named him):

I'm too cool for going to school. Which is why I have decided to drop out of MCC. Yes, I am an MCC drop out and how low is that?
But to be frank, college sucks. Especially when you have been going to school for 4 years now and have nothing to show for it. I guess it's my own fault for switching majors, and then I switching schools. But I had to do those things.. It's too long of a story, so I won't go into details.
Nothing stresses me out more than my college life. I hate the thought of putting so much effort into just an associates degree when that won't get me out of working day cares (which I can do now since I have 60 college credits!). And when one thinks about it, because of how few Early Childhood classes are available at MCC each semester it would take me at least 2 more years to finish my associates. 6 YEARS FOR AN ASSOCIATES?? No thanks.
But I know I need a degree to get by in this world. As well as to give me more career options. And that is why I am now enrolled at Ashford University. It's an actual school in Iowa, but they have an online program just to get your Bachelor's Degree. And when one thinks about it, how does it make sense not to do it rather than spend the next couple of years on something less? And it beats driving 30 minutes just to get to classes.
But it should only take me about 2 more years to get my Bachelor's Degree. It felt good applying and writing an essay and being accepted. I've never been accepted to a real school before (only because I haven't aplied anywhere other than Harper and MCC..).
I am quite excited about it. I start my first class on March 27th. |

I've been in the infant room for quite some time now, even though I specifically told them that I was meant to babysit preschoolers. Not tiny fragile humans that just eat and poop.
But I knew it was too good to be true when I was originally put in the preschool room. I knew it couldn't last long. And it didn't.
It bothered me a lot. The assistant director even went out of his way to tell me that being in the infant room was only temporary because they just needed some help in there and they were hiring somebody else for that room. And anyway, he knew I wanted to hang out with the preschoolers. And then a few weeks later, the old director (she got fired!) told me she liked me in that room. I didn't think that she meant that I would stay there forever, because like I said, I told them I didn't want to be in that room.
It's not so temporary anymore though. My name is even permanently typed under "Infant A".
It still really bothers me, but after 1 1/2 months of being with those babies, I never want to leave. They are so darn cute. There's one little 10 month old boy (he's my favorite!) who always smiles at me and loves when I hold him. I guess they all smile at me, but he's by far the cutest little thing. In about 5 months he will be ready to move on to bigger and better rooms. And that makes me sad.
The only problem is that we are so short staffed these days. And one of the other lead teachers is leaving tomorrow. She's starting her own at-home daycare. Not only that, but we suddenly have 15 babies in that room! There's really only room for 12! But, like I said, we are so short staffed (which means less room because there are child to teacher ratios). so we can't push any infants to infant B because they don't have enough room there, and there's no room to push some of the Infant B kids up to toddlers. It's confusing. Infant B is meant for the babies who are mobile. And there are plenty of babies who fit that.
We had to take these new babies, even though we didn't have room for them because they have older siblings in the center already. If we can't take the new baby, the parents will take their kids somewhere else.
And kids=money.
But it's annoying. Today I spent 1 1/2 hours just changing diapers. Non-stop diapers.
Three of them had their first day on Monday and they are all only 6 weeks old. They have only been alive for a little over a month!! I was so scared my first day holding a baby so young. They are so fragile.. and it's scarier knowing that if you just make one small mistake, something horrible could happen. But I've learned a lot about handling really young babies. Now it's fun.
As much as I complain about KinderCare and changing diapers, I love it. One learns that babies don't just eat and poop. They sleep too. And when they aren't doing any of those things, they love to smile and be held.
I know I take it for granted and I really shouldn't. There isn't really anything to dislike about it. |

A lot of things have changed since my last post. For one, I LOVE the toddlers at KinderCare. And I've been in the infant room for the past couple of weeks and at first I hated it, but now I love them too. Which makes it even harder to leave. Last Friday, one of the infants fell asleep in my lap, while I was playing with him. It was adorable. Like when a kitten falls asleep on you.
So, as far as we know, Dane and I are moving a week from Thursday. I'm trying to get transferred to a different KinderCare. There will be a couple out by us. I'll see what comes of it. A teacher told me that she was transferred and it took 3 MONTHS! Hopefully it doesn't take that long..
I've been thinking. What is it that brings out the worst in a lot of people during the holidays? Sure, nobody likes waiting in long lines at a store. But seriously, to get pissed and to take your frustrations out at the people working? I just don't understand it. It's been super busy at Tuesday Morning lately, and nobody is pleasant anymore.
Tuesday Morning shoppers are seriously the most thoughtless gift givers. You never know what you will find there, so it's not like you go there knowing what you will get. People ask me all the time "What do you think a nine year old girl would like from your store?" And then I hear customers in the store talking about what they are getting and they will be like "we just haven't seen this person in so long so a $1 snow globe is all we know to get."
It's fine to not know what to get a person, but I would think a gift card is more thoughtful than a snow globe just because it's there.. |

It's been over a month since I last posted and I figured it was time to write something.
My life has been super busy lately it seems. I'm working two jobs. Still Tuesday Morning. And KinderCare for over a month now. KinderCare is one of those jobs that you both love and hate at the same time. I love the children, especially the Pre-K and preschool group. They are a great bunch and they all like me and want me to read to them and draw pictures and help them with puzzles. Just being accepted by children like that is a great feeling.
Then there's the toddlers who I don't enjoy so much. There's 10 of them and all they do is cry and want to be held. It would be fine and cute if there weren't so many, but it's kind of hard holding 10 toddlers at once! I hated it the first day, but now that I know them better and they know me, I'm starting to like them more and more. They each have their own personalities even though they aren't even 18 months old yet. And it's so cute when they "talk" to you.
But even though I love the kids, I just don't like the idea of daycares and the way they just shove children in different rooms just to have the right teacher-child ratio. I also hate how the toddlers and infants are there EVERY DAY for over 8 HOURS. But I won't go into that, even though it's a big concern of mine I just won't..
Tuesday Morning is the same as it's always been. There's new drama every day but it's a good job. Everyone gets along with everyone and even the new people seem to fit in right away. It's the type of job that even though I know I don't want to be a cashier forever it will be hard leaving the place and all the people.
The most stressful part of my life is my family life. This week has just been so horrible at home. I love my family, but they all rely on me for EVERYTHING and I can't handle their issues on top of mine anymore. The annoying part is that even though I try to help my dad out the best I can, he doesn't take my advice. He wants it, and seems to think that it's good, but doesn't take it. My dad and I do everything around the house and if others were a little more considerate and responsible, it wouldn't be this way. But of course no one wants to listen to me.. and as much as my dad hates having to do most of the stuff around the house, he doesn't do anything about it. So until I leave, everyone else's problems are my own. I just don't know how they will get along without me here. I feel guilty for wanting to leave because I just don't think they will survive having to deal with their own issues.. I know it sounds mean and crazy, but I really feel like things will fall apart if I ever leave.
And as much as I have already gone into that, I won't continue. It will just stress me out even more.
Speeaking of leaving, and Dane and I have found a new condo that we are obsessed with and part of me feels that this is the one. I know we felt that way about the trailer and the Palatine one, but looking back I think we were crazy. In the back of our minds the other places had issues that we kind of had doubts about, but maybe thought we could get over them? We are learning more about this new one and we won't rush into anything until we are sure. But so far there isn't anything wrong with it.. at least not with what we do know. Plus, it's bigger, nicer, and way cheaper!
Dane and I aren't dying to get out of our houses. I mean as much as my house stresses me out, it's more that we just want our own space and privacy and feel ready and responsible enough to make it happen.. and we need people to understand our reasonings. We are taking our time with this and we really have thought this whole thing out more than anyone realizes. But we will see what happens.
I guess that's all from me. Oh yes, my cat's new favorite place to sleep is the bathroom sink. I'm still trying to get a picture of it cause everytime I walk into the bathroom she gets over excited and gets up. |

I just got home from work. I worked 20 hours this week. And I'll be working like 16 next week. It's crazy.
Last week I went into KinderCare to interview the director. I'm in this class that's all about being the main person in charge at a daycare. Of course that's not something I have any interest in, but I think it's still neat learning about what they have to do. So anyways, as a project we just had to ask a director all sorts of questions. At the end of this interview she asked me if I would like a job there, just in the evenings like 2 days a week.
So that will be 2 jobs on top of school, but I think I can manage. As much as Tuesday Morning gets to me at times, I don't think I could ever leave. And it makes me sad thinking that in less than a year when I have a degree I probably should do something that involves what I've worked so hard for. I know I'm a big dork.
The subject of my family getting a puppy has come up a few times. And I got a little carried away with looking at dogs on this website where all the local shelters post things about the dogs they have and stuff. So, I found a few dogs that I really liked, but there were things about them that just wouldn't work out for us, like one of the shelters made you use their vet, and then the other turned out to be a pit bull. I didn't know pit bulls had a real name!
Dane said I was getting too emtionally attached. And I was. It just saddens me so much to see these poor dogs with no homes. And there were dogs in the shelter who were already 8 years old! Who would want an oldish dog? I know that sounds mean, but it's hard to get attached to something that might only be around a few more years. It hurts me to think of it like that.. that poor dog will probably spend the rest of his life in a shelter, with no family to love him.. but I guess at least shelters are there to take care of him.
It just makes me so sad when there are so many pets in need and only one of me. So I needed to stop going to the website cause it was just depressing me, and I've actually gone 3 days so far. But as you can probably tell, I've still been thinking a lot about the poor puppies..
I guess that's all.
Oh, my new news it that this morning I decided that I'm going to buy a bunch of things from Tuesday Morning for cheap and then sell them on Ebay. And I'm starting on Tuesday when there's a sale! |

So, Dane and I just got back from Michigan yesterday afternoon. It was probably one of my favorite trips up there in the longest time. Usually we only go up there when things are planned, such as reunions & weddings & anniversaries. And as much as I love seeing my millions of relatives, it can get so stressful. But this time Dane and I went up just because. And we left at 6:00 in the morning on saterday and went straight through Chicago with no traffic, it was great!
I felt like I spent quality time with my grandparents, and I really really needed that. My grandpa was so excited when we got there. He's not one to show his emotions really, but the minute we got there, he was like "What do you want to go see, I'll take you anywhere". So, we went for a ride to see Miller Road, which was the road named after his family because that's where his farm was. It's so weird seeing all these places, like where my grandma's farm is (her house and barn are even still up). I see these places everytime I go up there, and it never gets boring. It's hard to imagine what it was like when my grandparent's were young, but I love hearing about it. Then he showed us around Torch Lake. We also stopped at a few garage sales where I got this cute stuffed daschund puppy for 10 cents. We named him Rascal.
Then I played many games of Yahtzee with my grandma. She's been getting so much worse lately. It's really depressing. She can't see at all anymore and lately she just has no clue how to get around the house. It's so hard to watch.. But I know she appreciated the time I spent with her.
Then we played this game called Wizard with my aunt and uncle. It's a very neat game.. And then we saw my cousin's new house in Traverse City. It's a really really nice house. And Gabriel is getting so big and so cute! He's learning the ways of communication, only he can't say words yet. But he likes to think he's talking to you.
Oh, and Dane and I got bikes! They are really awesome old bikes that are apparently really good ones. My aunt and uncle and cousins are all serious about biking, so they know all about it. They were pretty cheap too. Actually, my aunt bought them after we left, so we can't actually get them til October. But it's still coool to actually own a bike.
Dane and I left on Sunday evening, and we decided to stay in Grand Rapids for the night. It was a nice hotel. We ordered pizza and ate like there was no tomorrow.. at least I felt like I did.
I think that's about it for now.. |

Tomorrow morning, Dane and I are going up to Michigan. You have no idea how excited I really am. There's no place that makes me as happy as Michigan.
School has been going well enough. I am happy that I switched to MCC. I just think it's so much more organized than Harper. At least I feel that way. I like that you can start at one end of a building and walk throughout the whole thing in about 5 minutes. Sometimes I park in a parking lot opposite of where my class is because I enjoy the walk so much. I know, I'm a dork, but I really do that. It's great.
Work hasn't been doing so great though. Well, I've been doing great at my work, but it's really getting to me. I won't go into details, but hopefully my responsibilites will lighten up because my manager did just hire another key holder and an assistant manager. I was scheduled to work like 24 hours this week, of course I ended up only working about 20 for various reasons. I just don't think I could keep going like this if I didn't feel like it would end. But I think it will soon enough.
But other than the stress, I really do like working there. And I enjoy the people as well. What more could one ask for?
Well, I'm in much need of a break, especially with my main squeeze. And Michigan is a great place for that.
Dane's birthday is in a couple weeks. Guess who already got him a few somethings?! Me! Me! |
