You can't escape the bad you've done...

Just a quick note...
If you do something bad...especially under age (example: drinking, drugs etc...) don't think that no one will find out. Also...don't think that because your 'friend' says that they won't tell anyone that they really mean it! The life of a teenager is full of gossip no matter where you go, it doesn't matter what school you go to, what group you belong to or how careful you think you're being.
(this all stems from me seeing 'facebook drama' about gossip and people saying the school I work at is worse than others....let me tell you IT ISN'T)
I'm just saying.


In other news related to me, myself and I....

This week marks the 17th week of my pregnancy! Whoop! Nothing has changed really, still tired and hungry most of the time but I'm doing well. We go Sept. 8th to find out if it is a boy or a girl so I'm taking bets now!

14 weeks and jury duty

So this week marks the 14th week of my pregnancy- I have started to show a little, which I'm not sure if that is a good sign or a sign that I'm just going to be really big. Let's hope that it is just a good sign or I'm carrying twins or something....I really don't want to be a big fat pregnant person. Other than feeling slightly uncomfortable in my clothes, everything is going just fine or I assume that it is fine. I go to the doctor on the 10th for another check up so I'll update you after that too.

I have to go to jury duty tomorrow- it is actually for the district court so I'll get paid $40 a day plus 50 cents a mile. So getting paid that much is quite nice but it still doesn't make me want to go and sit in a court room all day. I really hop e that they don't pick me, and I plan on doing whatever it takes to get out of getting picked. If I do get picked it would severely ruin a lot of the 'goings-on' in the next coming weeks...
Next week starts in-service for school...a whole five days of meetings, technology updates (super boring) and things that really don't affect me directly. While getting out of in-service for jury duty would be awesome-that would leave me completely unprepared for when school starts. An unprepared me = a very very extremely stressed out me.
Also as I mentioned, I have a doctor's appointment and I really don't want to have to reschedule. For some reason I just find these appointments reassuring to know that my baby's heart is beating strong just makes it easier to relax.

Let's pray that I don't get picked tomorrow! :)

What you can buy me for Christmas, Birthday or just for fun :)

Where did Train go and why did they come back?

I remember when I first heard the band Train back in uh....2001 (sorry I had to google that). 2001, I was a sophomore in high school at that time and I really liked that song "Drops of Jupiter" but eventually it got old and I didn't like the adult contemporary sound; I was slowly turning towards punk rock and let's face it The Dead Kennedys probably wouldn't approve of Train. The band has been together since the mid-90s, that is a stinking long time!!
ANYWAY....
I'll get to my point since I'm not really clever today (it's a billion degrees outside in Texas, again, and it zaps all my brain power).

WHY DID TRAIN COME BACK?????
I am SICK, SICK I tell you of that stupid, pop, crap, dirt, yuckiness "Hey, Soul Sister" it really needs to go die slowly in an elevator somewhere in Manhattan. I'm really not a fan, I've tried my hardest to sing along to the catchy beat and love the obnoxious ukulele but I just CAN'T.
To further cement my dislike of Train there was their performance on America's Got Talent. Did you see it? No? Check it out on youtube....

Do you think it was a good performance? For a band that has been around since I was like 8 or 9 shouldn't they know how to perform in public? Or maybe is it just because they are aging and the lead singer just can't hit those notes anymore?
If you have a different opinion and would like to correct me or convince me that they don't suck by all means give it your best shot!

Dang you China Sun!

I think I have started the 'craving' phase of my pregnancy. I was watching Bram Stoker's Dracula (which by far is my most favorite vampire movie of all time, because it just makes more sense...silly Twilight, vampires don't twinkle in the sun) and I was hit by the sudden urge...no, not urge...desire for chicken fried rice.
Problem number 1: I do not know how to make chicken fried rice and even if I did we don't have the necessary ingredients.
Problem number 2: After realizing that I have to resort to take out, I also realize that my lil dinky town has no such place offering Chinese food. We only have Pizza Hut, McDonalds and Jack in the Box...what a selection!
Problem number 3: I finally figure that I'll just run into the next town for some China Sun take out...but they won't answer their phone. So, I'll just drive there no big deal.

So here is me, pregnant lady, driving all the way to China Sun -only to get there and see that THEY ARE CLOSED ON SUNDAYS!!! AGGHHHH!!!!

Now I'm eating Burger King because I can't really stomach McDonalds anymore and nothing else sounded worthy of my time.

Random: my house is surrounded/infested by crickets...if I could just organize them into some sort of circus I'm sure I'd make millions.




Okay, so I am going to take this time to tell my friend Jessica that I think she is amazing! And I am so glad that I got to meet her in college and that I'm so very happy that we are still friends :) You inspire me to be more crafty, resourceful, down to earth and over all more loving to the people around me!
Maybe we don't make more friends in our older age (ha! older age...) because we've already found the coolest people there is to find.

Update

Shoot me.

The school also doesn't pay their part of the insurance premium while I'm out on maternity leave. So not only am I not getting paid, but I'll have to pay for my insurance in full.


They really want me to have a mental breakdown.

No paid maternity leave

I'm SO SO SO SO SO upset right now. I just found out that I do not get paid maternity leave, I know that a lot of jobs do not offer that, but I really figured that mine would!

I have just been plunged into a mini depression. I have so many things running through my mind now...
How can we go 6 weeks without my paycheck? Can I even take the 6 weeks off? Does that mean I'll have to leave my newborn baby with someone else sooner than expected? How do we pay for doctor's visits? What if something happens to me and I have to be out 6 weeks??

Plus my insurance sucks so that is a money sucker too....

I think I might just go cry in a corner. And early today I was in such a good mood because I thought that everything was going so well...

I know I should be excited about having the baby, period. But if you know me...you know that it is impossible for me to think that way; my mind goes directly towards negative things every chance it gets. I know that I really should only worry about keeping myself healthy and the baby healthy but how can I not stress out when we might go broke?!?!

Ugh...I can't even write coherently anymore so I'm out.
