Over the last month....

Well, I know I have been absent of the last month or so. Yeah, I know, Go Figure!

Things were getting crazy with school, both the one I teach at and with my masters. Also, trying to keep up on the cooking, cleaning, washing, drying, folding, and putting away. Along with replacing 2 screens in my screen doors. It's been CRAZY I tell you!

The other night I watched the VP debate. I was totally appalled with the moderator due to her lack of doing what a moderator is suppose to do. Next, I was enamored with the candidates responses to most of their questions. I think Joe Biden was totally regurgitating what his partner is saying and not voicing his opinions and beliefs. I think Sarah Palin did an awesome job bringing out the lies, misspoken words, and fallacies of the other ticket. I was not 100% won with her when she was named for the ticket at first, but I feel that she won hands down. Yeah, she gave a shout out! That was pretty cool for those kids to hear about themselves.

I feel Palin will bring the conservative side of the country to McCain. I just can't stomach Obama. He hasn't had any executive experience at all! He's been in the Senate for 3 years. No committee experience, on the campaign trail for the last 2 years, and hasn't ran anything like a city or state. That speaks volumes to me. Even Ronald Regan had experience in running a state.

You can say what you want about CHANGE. Heck, I change my clothes everyday...... what about change? What is the change? How is the change going to come about? What if you can't make the change? Then, what? What's in it for me? NOTHING! There isn't 95% of the taxpayers who will receive a tax break b/c only 75% pay taxes. If those who own business and have corporations are heavily taxed, who do you think they will pass this onto? Anyone????

You got it the consumer!!!!!!!! So, yeah, I might get a tax break from the IRS, but my goods and services cost spike past that cut. So, who is getting screwed now? Yep, that's right..... ME and everyone else in my tax bracket and below $60,000 per year.

Is this fair? Is this the American dream? I say NOT!

Granted, I know there's problems in DC. No kidding!!!!! Maybe if the people of this great nation would stand up and make their representatives and senators work for the people and not for themselves then we would be much better off. I do not like this bail out crap.... It was full of crappy pork! Tax cuts for the beaver corp. WTH??

Check out Glenn Beck's web site. I know there's a lot of people who do not like Rush or Sean... but Glenn Beck and Bill O'Rilley are on the mark too! There's a lot of good and informed information out there to clear up anyone's murky mind about this election!

Well, enough of my rant. I just wanted to put it out there about the debate and how and where people need to stand up for this great nation, their FREEDOMS, and for the soldiers, sailors, and airmen that defend that freedom.

My new favorite song...

Over You
Chris Daughtry


Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me..

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
Now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
Now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
Now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
I'm putting my heart back together,
'Cause I got over you.

I love this song because it truly says what I feel about my ex.

The past two weeks have been fun! I have gone out on a date, went to my weekend of class, and had a colonoscopy done! Talk about a pain in the butt!! The date went ok, the class was good and well the colonoscopy.... good news so far there!

Being divorced hasn't really sunk in I guess. Maybe b/c the jerk was gone for 15 months on deployment to Afghanistan, and I moved out before he came back to the states. Who knows. All I know is, that you can't miss something when you truly never had it in the first place. (Good quote from my friend, Angela).

How are all my blogging friends? I haven't really heard from a lot of you. I know I have been MIA on your blogs too. I apologize.

Well, it's T-minus 17 days before I go back to school. I need to make the best of it! I hope all of you have a wonderful rest of summer!

HUGS

It's done!

Well, what was started 8 years ago, was finished yesterday. My marriage is now over. I really don't know how I should feel. On one hand, I am totally ticked off b/c I don't believe in divorce. On the other side, I am glad to be free of the turmoil I have suffered over the last 2 years. I am not 100% guilt free in this, but I wasn't the catalyst either.

I really don't have much more to day. I hope you all have a great rest of the week and a wonderful weekend!!!!!

Oh the places I haven't gone......

Just stopped in to let ya'll know I am alive and kicking. I had many assignments to finish before last weekend's class. Now I have a 4-6 page paper to write for class. UGH!

I haven't done much since school has let out. I have hung out with friends, went out to dinner with them, and cleaned up around here at the house. My lil man is coming home this Sunday and I can't wait!!!!!! He's been w/ his daddy for a month. I can't believe that he stayed that long, but his dad is known to spoil him. UGH!


I hope all of you have a safe and blessed 4th of July.

Been Gone....

Sorry it's been so long since my last post. I have been busy with my lil man's b-day, school wrapping up, TESTING!!!!!!!!!!, and starting my masters program. Yes, I am finally biting the bullet and starting my masters. I started this weekend with Lesley University @ my school district's high school. It's an awesome program b/c we meet one weekend per month for 22 months. Granted, we will have work in between those times, but it's nothing like having to arrange babysitting for evening classes.

On a good note, school is over June 10th!!!! Lil man will be having his little promotion program next Monday. Then, it's off to Kindergarten!!!! Man, I am feeling the age..... LOL

I hope everyone has a good week, and I will post more often once school lets out for the summer!

HUGS!
