so, i have been posting much less lately, as things here have been somewhat out of control...
unfortunately, this is not due to my drunken exploits or slutty encounters.
oh no, i just have the largest craziest extended family ever.
here's what was up for xmas:
(e:hodown) came and totally surprised the mom.
(e:hodown) was sick.
the mom was even more sick, and still sick. (e:hodown) has recovered.
on xmas. gift exchange was interrupted by emergency phone call and then emergency trip to grandma's. she has been on a slippery slope, and thing worsen by the day, and there is a 'death scare' most everyday now.
grandma's liquid morphine goes missing. rx addict aunt is staying with grandma when this is discovered. no one will confront crazy drug addict aunt.
my mom is avoiding her bf, who now calls me all the time to figure out what s up with her. i think she needs to dump him. i don't have a bf, and i don't want to deal with hers.
my sis has been very emotional this trip. i told her please stop; that is my territory, but lately, i am incapable of tears.
on xmas, my grandma wished me a "happy bday", asked "how my easter was", and also asked "how my bf with the dog is doing"... none of these questions made any sense.
basically my cracked out aunt who may have stolen the morphine drugged my poor little granny up to the point of almost killing her, and now granny is in hospice care.
my grandma who means the world to me, is not going to be around much longer. i am the favorite of nearly 50 grandkids, and it is a known fact. i have never dealt with death, so i am very scared. it is hard to explain, but my grandma has always been a kindred spirit, and there is so much of her in me. she has given me so much joy in life, and i just wish her a peaceful passing.
of course i don't want to say goodbye, but i know she is not long for this world. she told my aunt carol that she keeps seeing a room and that one day she will just walk into it. i don't know why, but that gives me nightmares. i can't imagine not hearing her voice again, not being able to tell her everything. i love her so much, and the bond we share is so strong.
saying goodbye is just so hard...
to end it on a more happy note, pretty ring (e:hodown) gave me for xmas, onyx and rubies!

i seriously cant believe itCategory: white trash
britney's little sister is preg. just when you think that family couldn't get any trashier, they take it to the next level.
she is 16, and the star on a nickelodeon show. seriously. she will for sure be fired.
and the daddy is some country boy no one. and the parents were allowing him to live with her. who lets their 16 year old daughter have a live in boyfriend?
what the fuck is wrong with those people?
but i kinda love it, because it makes for great tabloids.
i am sad because i thought jamie lynn is way prettier and could be the britney 2.0, but i guess not. well, maybe she can in the way that she may end up crazier than britbrit....
there is also some other headline that they are going to test britbrit's kids for drugs. and she is not allowed at the four seasons in l.a. anymore.
get yourself together (spears)women!

So this is so wrong but right now I don't care. I'm sure once I write this I may not feel the same way. I saw A picture of her in the paper and she sure is hot. I don't know if she is hotter then Britney in that school girl outfit video and when she dances with the snake but she is right up and looks amazing. If I lived down there I would do her, no question. I think that what happens with the spears family is that all the media is northen and her and her family is old southern. In the old days kids had kids at 16 and 17 and got married. Some of the things she got in trouble for like driving with the kid on her lap is also a country thing. The part that sounds odd is not the live in boyfriend that does happen more then people would know or ever admit to. It is that you would think the parents would teach birth control and buy it. Oh wait I forgot the south thing again Sex before marriage and Condoms are wrong, ops. In any event it is an interesting story that no one will look into the cultural aspects of it will just distract us from news that is important. But that might be a good thing at this time of the year. Hopefully this will cause some discussions across this country and not just be a tag line or joke piece of news.

OMG I KNOW! Do you think she will be fired from NIckolodeon , getting knocked up at 16, is not a very family friendly thing to do for a Nickolodeon tv star! I can't wait to see what happens! Oh by the by she told OK magazine you should wait til marriage but she just made a mistake!

What, is she "supposed" to be with some fellow teen-star? Are all female celebs supposed to be with fellow celebs? I don't know the tabloid rules, here.

one step closer, many steps to goCategory: education
so, i have successfully completed another semester of school! hooray. my stick-with-it-ness seems to be improving.
the whole special ed thing really excites me, since i practically already am a special ed teacher, without the degree, and the better pay. im sick of people saying, "oh, there isn't any money in that". blah, blah, blah.
people, if i cared about all of the money, i wouldn't me be. anyway, even though i may appear shallow on surface, underneath, there is a person who likes to help others. i wouldn't feel complete even i didn't give back somehow.
there is a big stipulation though. when i am ready to transfer, where od i go? well, hopefully where it is cheapest. that means asu, or back to nys, and go to a state school there. now, i don't really want to come back to blo, but it could be beneficial. i could get my old job back, or probably a better job. i could get the excellent education, andh ave more choices of where to go.
there are only three state schools here, and two of them aren't in phoenix. flaggstaff is cold and fuck, so i might as well be in blo. and i don't know how i feel about asu, or ua(which is in tuscon).
i guess i will just apply to all and see.
now that i feel like my life is going somewhere, i am not so concerned about it all.
what i am concerned about is the fact that i banged my knee so hard it is bleeding, and that i am nowhere near done with xmas tasks as planned. it looks like i will kick into high gear friday morning, when i know i have 7 hrs to do it all. because right now, i feel like being lazy!
my granny is doing so much better. i think those hospice people were overmedicating her. to the point of her just seeming like a totally different person. they took her off a few meds, and she is soooo much better!
good day mates!

Happy Day HoDown!
enjoy the time you DO have with her and don't focus on the future.
((((( (e:liho) )))))
I was a kindred spirit of my maternal gran. She was my rock, the person i counted on when i needed something. My mom tells me i am so much like her. It was like losing an arm when she died.
I may not know exactly what you are going through, but i sure do understand the loss. carry on wiht her as the part of you she has always been to celebrate the life she has had. And grab every moment you can with her.
