Shit.....
I totaly forgot about this little blog. Since I last updated this, I have moved. Alas not out of the sate, but to a different city. I also went back to school, I'm now a CNA although I do miss being a stay at home mom. My kids have even made the comment about how they wish I didn't work anymore. That sucks, makes me feel bad.
An update about the rugrats...
My son is now going on ten. He has speech issues back when he was small, he didn't start talking till he was almost four. So the whole time that he's been in school I've had him on an IEP for monitering purposes so that way if something came up it could be taken care of instead of causing a problem. Last year his IEP came up for renewal, they last for three years... anyway, so they decided to see if he still needed to be on it or even could qualify for it, turns out that he doesn't qualify for the program any more and had to test out of it. As part of the testing process, he had to have an IQ test, dang kid scored a 130 on it!! The hell man?! So yeah, floored the hubby and I both. I mean we knew he was smart knew there was a chance that he would have a high IQ (he had seazures as a baby and we were warned after the tests came back for that). But still it wasn't something that we really actually expected to be honest, not with all the shit going on with his sister. So yeah... anyway now his school is talking about putting him in the Gifted and Talented Program and I don't think I'm going to go for it. For one thing it will mess up the grading curve and I'm evil like that but he'll qualify for more scholarships this way as opposed to going into the other program. The base that you have to be to get into the Gifted and Talented program is 120, so he's not much higher then that. We can stimulate him at home....
The daughter is eight now, although she fuctions at a bit more then half her age. We are trying to get her on a program available in the great state of Idaho called Katie Beckett. Basicly if she fuctions at half her age or is institutionalizable then she can get on it no matter what our income is and she'll get on medicaide and that means her meds, therapy and specialists would be paid for. And that would be a VERY grand thing indeed. No more fighting with insurance companies... the less I say about that one the better.... but yeah. She has what is called "global delays" meaning that she is significantly delayed in more then one area. My daughter has fine motor, gross motor, speech and developmental delays.... on top of that, she's ADHD and has Autistic tendancies, a joy I tell you. She's been in therapy since she was thirteen months old. Right now it's just what she gets through her school. She's in regular public school and even going into the second grade, but she spends the bulk of her day in the ERR and she has an aid that is with her for the whole school day. She has no concept of danger, of bad people and we all know there are those kinds of creeps out there.... so yeah. So that's a bit scary to me, but we keep a close eye on her and her brother is great about keeping tabs on her when they are playing outside here.
The hubby amazingly enough is still employed at Micron and for those that are in the loop, it's a memory chip place that's been doing layoffs lately. We are both pleased about that though on some level I wonder if he did get laid off if it would light a fire under his ass and we would get the fuck out of here. I hate this state, I've made no secrets about that. I've wanted to leave since I moved here in '96, but when I moved here I had to. I had to get out of the situation I was in and what better way to get out of a really bad situation then to move back home? So that's what I did. Somewhere along the way, I met the hubby and got married and had two kids with the man... and now I'm still stuck in this state. He won't leave without having a job, but he's not really doing anything about that little problem either. And now given the way things are... yeah I'm not holding my breath on getting to leave anytime soon. Oh well. I make the best of it and leave for a personal vacation at least once a year.
As for me, I work now as I stated above as a CNA... I don't work at a hospital though, I work at a nursing home and to be honest I rather like it. They aren't as picky as a hospital would be regarding piercings and tats and for me that's a good thing. I have five holes in each ear, three lobes on each side and then on the right I have my cartilage and conch done and then on my left have a funky industrial going, it goes from an industrial to a conch with a lovely curve thing going. I need to get a new one or this one rebent, it's sore because the curve sticks out to far and when I lay on it puts pressure on the top and bottom of the piercing... plus I think my sunglasses jack up the top of it. Not one of my smarter ideas but be damned if I'm going to take the fucker out. No way, more then likely I'll end up experimented on with it there. I've decided that when I die there is no way I'm going to be worm food or even cremated, why spend the money? Nope, I'm going to donate what can be used to save lives and then what's left can either go to a body farm or for experimented or to a medical school for learning purposes. That's not all of my piercings though. I also have my tongue done and one other one... I have plans to get my left eyebrow done~ I think that it would love hot, I can arch that one so yeah.... and then to balance things out, I'm going to get the right side of my lower lip done and I think that I'm going to get my navel done but twice, once on top and once on bottom....
I have three tats right now... and on the 14th of August I'm going to be getting three more. When I take my next little vacation, I may get one then. Generally when I go on my vacations I come back with a new tat, this time the hubby is leaving and when he comes back I'll have a few new ones. I got my first tat on the inside of my right wrist, it's a HIM tat and I love that thing. I got it in Houston when I went to see NIN and HIM.... that was a lovely lovely vacation..... The second one I got on the inside of my left ankle, it's a Blaqk Audio tat and I got it in Michigan when I went there for Projekt Revolution. And the last one so far, I got in Vegas when I went there for Tokio Hotel and it's the Tokio Hotel logo.... Yes in case it wasn't obvious, I'm obsessed with music. One of the ones that I'm getting on the 14th is my AFI tat and although I'm not going anywhere to get it, it will be the first one that I get in Idaho, I'm looking forward to it the most. I've wanted it for crap five or six years now... most places that I've asked about it wanted either over $200 for it or wouldn't do it because they thought it was satanic or some such shit.... stupid fuckers....
The other two that I'm getting aren't band tats... just stars on my feet, saw it in a dream and thought holy shit that looks wicked! and decided to go for it. Although, in my dream I had like six little stars on each foot, I'm just getting a two inch one and that's it. At some point though, I'm going to get the one that started it all.... an ankh with the setting sun on my back and the eye of Horace on the back of my neck.... the guy that I've talked to about doing those two has a few ideas that he's toying with to bring the two together.... so yeah.....
For my next vacation, I'm going back to Vegas.... I so can't wait for it either! I mean on one hand I want to go NOW but at the same time, I'm hoping that the reason I'm going pushes things out till like early next year. I need to save still and I really want to go down with a pretty penny. We'll see how things go, but one way or another well no no matter what I will be going. Just depends on tour dates...... did I mention that I have a problem with patience? I have it with my kids, but not with much else.... and I like to plan way the fuck ahead for shit... really bad about that. And now I think I'm going to end this rambling jumble whatever......
