Catch Up

I really need to get better at this blogging thing. Everytime I think about it, its close to bedtime. Nothing really spectacular has happened in the past few weeks. I've just been enjoying my time off from classes. I start two summer classes this Wednesday (Design and Communication and Drawing). I'm looking forward to these classes, but I am not looking forward to the LONG days. I have to drop Corbin off at the babysitters at 7am, drive to Lansing, class from 8-12, lunch, class from 1-5, then drive back home - Every Monday and Wednesday. So I probably wont be a very happy camper those nights, heh.

On a very happy note...Brian finally got a full time job! I think the place is called Midbrook Stamping Products. We've heard some very good things about this company. Plus, the person he is working for on a "if there is something to do" basis, called this morning and told him that over the summer time he will be having things done later in the day (between like 1pm and 8 pm) instead of during the late morning/early afternoon hours. This means that Brian can do both jobs, since he is off at 2. So I guess things are starting to look up for him. Keep your fingers crossed. This could improve our relationship (I'm hoping).

I went out and bought Corbin a new little kiddie pool the other day. He loves it! I pulled his climber to the edge of the pool so that the slide hangs in. Everytime he slid down he squeeled. Here are a few pics from that day.

Some people just shouldn't be parents....

Corbin and I went to Walmart this evening and when I was putting him into the car to leave there was another family getting into their car, which was parked in front of our car. The little boy said something to his mom and aparently she didn't like what he said because she yelled "look here little boy, you better shut the fuck up!" I could not believe what I heard. Then she yells at her other kid, "ain't ya going open the god damn door?" What kind of person curses at their children like that? And the fact that she is yelling these things out loud for people to hear. I just gave her the most disgusted look I could. I wonder what makes a person so angry that they do that. I felt so bad for those kids. Sad thing is that if those kids arent strong, they are going to grow up to do the same thing. It urks me to just hear parents curse around their children, even if its not directed to them. How can you punish a kid for using bad language if you're using it around them? Some people just should be parents.

Pissed Off Ramblings

I'm pissed off for multiple reasons. One i had my wisdom teeth removed yesterday and I havent had a chance to just chill out. Mainly b/c the doctor didnt want me home alone, so my grandma had to stay here with corbin to watch over me. I tried to have Brian come over to sit with me, but his dog got loose and by the time he caught him, his ride had already gone to work,so he couldnt come over. Icant relax whenmy grandma is here, she likes toclean my house and i hate it. then I could hear corbin running around. Then to day I thought I would get a chance to take a good nap, but some people came by to set up for the garage sale and one lady brought her daughter. That little girl would not leave me alone, I was sleep on the couch. she just kept asking questions. She ruined my lovely vicodin buzz. I decided to take corbin out back to play with her and she was standing on corbins kiddy table, then standing on the picnic table! I could not believe that. Then corbin started climbing onthe table, too. If you ask my opinion, i dont think the girl has been disciplined enough. I am an advocate for spanking children. If god is my witness, Corbin will never be like that. Kids like that make me dis-like other peoples kids. BLAH!!!!
I stopped by to see brian today, to see if he wanted to come over, but of coursehe had house work to do. He didnt even act like he cared that I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled out and that i was in pain. I give soo much to him, but I dont get back even half as much as I put out there. Makes me so damn mad! I'd be happy with a cotton pickin hug!He just frusterates me so much.
Ok, now for something kinda humorous....I couldnt find my keys this morning and iwent to my car and they were in the ignition. I thought my dad left them there since he got into my carlast night. he said he used my spare pair to get into the trunk and that he never got into the actual car. Turns out I was so doped up on pain killers, I forgot they were still in the ignition!
Well I think I am done for the moment. I feel slightly better now.

Update

Its been a while since I have posted anything new, so I'll provide an update. Lets see... I have decided to change my major. Instead of trying to become an English teacher, I am going to major in Art with a concentration in Graphic Design. I have always been a lover of art, so I figure in order for me to stick with something and be happy, I had better chose art. At this point, I am not sure if I am going to stick with Spring Arbor and get a 4 year degree or go to LCC and get a two year degree. I have already wasted like three years, so for me to get a 4 year degree, the earliest I can complete it in would be three years. If i get the two year degree, I can finish in a year and a halfish, get a job, and work for a while, then go back to school at a later date and get the four year degree. The only down side to going to LCC is the drive. I hate the drive to Lansing, the scenery sucks! I am taking a drawing class this summer, so hopefully I will decided by the time that class is completed.

My boyfriend is finally working, thank god. Its not a permanent position, but its money. Pretty much he just gets called in to this sandblasting/painting shop when the owner needs a hand. So far its been pretty steady. He's been doing it for about three weeks, working atleast 4 days a week and getting paid at the end of each day. The owner seems to be impressed with his work, so we are hoping he will take him on as a true employee. Its such a turn on to see him come home all dirty and splatted with paint, knowing that he has worked his butt off all day.

Corbin is doing pretty good. He's really trying to talk. This morning on our way out the door, he stopped at the fish tank and said "bye fish". It was so cute. When I was getting him ready he was trying to say " I go to school". I cant wait til he can say more words. Here's a couple new pics of Corbin.

"Talking" on the phone to my friends dad

This is what happens when I leave your kid with friends, lol

Happy Birthday Baby

Yesterday was my boyfriends 30th birthday. I still can't believe he is that much older than me [almost 10 years older than me]. I like to pick on him and call him my old man. I was planning a nice quiet semi romantic dinner for him and at the last minute his ex called and needed him to watch her little girl. So it ended up being dinner for 3 instead of two. To make it worse, my boyfriend wasnt feeling to well so he didnt eat as much as he usually does and his daugher would touch my food. I cooked chicken n dumplin's, she just kept poking at the dumplin's. I did make him a sweet little card, though. He seemed to like it. I just wish I could have done more for him. Maybe some other time.

I learned of some interesting news a couple days ago. Turns out a friend of mine is pregnant. I could believe it, but I couldnt believe it. Personally, I think that if she goes through with this pregnancy and keeps the child, its going to be a big mistake. Mainly because her boyfriend is not a very good person. For lack of a better word, he is a major asshole and I dont think that he will give her the proper support she needs. I ran into his sister last night and she told me he plans on marrying her by August. Really, I think getting married just because you're expecting a baby is a bad idea. It just adds too much strain on a new marriage. Plus, they are only 21 years old and getting married young, even without children, is a quite difficult. Hell, marriage at any age is hard enough. I just have a feeling that if they did get married, they would regret it not too long after. I actually had a talk with her last night, telling her about the reality of having children and my experince as a young single mom. I just want her to be able to make an informed decision. She has already told her parents and her boyfriends parents. Also, due to an untrust worthy room mate, a lot of her "friends" know too, but due to the information going from person to person, it did get changed a bit. So it adds more pressure on her to make a decision because so many people know. So she is really pissed about that. I just love my friend so much and I do not want to see her throw her life away. I am really hoping she makes the best for her. Raising kids is a hard task and should not be taken lightly, as I now know.

On a brighter note, Corbin went to his first birthday party yesterday! He had such a good time. They had a clown that used animals as part of her performance (a chinchilla, ferret, pocket parrot, hedgehog, rabbit and a chicken[which was my favorite]). He seemed to enjoy the bunny. I am thinking about trying to get that clown for Corbin's birthday party.
