Laid Off

So we found out for sure today that my husband was laid off. Our school district has issues budgeting their money. They wanted to take back raises from teachers or they threatened to issue pink slips. People got to keep their raises, my husband is out a job. I am not upset at those that needed to keep their raises, because I am one of them. They wanted to take it back in one lump sum, which would mean at least 1 full paycheck gone, if not two. So as of right now, we are looking at making our money last. Looks like the cross country vacation will be canceled. He is so bummed, I wish I could cheer him up. Any ideas for cheering up a man who was just laid off?

Way to go Matt

My cousin, well cousin-in-law, got drafted in the Major League Baseball draft. He was picked in the 20th round by the Philadelphia Phillies. His first stop is A ball in Florida, guess I know where our next family vacation will take us. We are going to California on Saturday to say bye, as he needs to report Sunday. I am super proud of him, he is an awesome pitcher and I know he will do great things. Matt and Damian, the husband, on our wedding day.

Bzz and Garnier Fructis

So my latest campaign is for Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine. At first I thought about not participating, since in the past I did not like the Garnier Fructis brand. The very first time I tried it my hair ended up dry and straw like, but this was also a few years ago. So I get the free sample package from BzzAgent, I was surprised at the full size shampoo and conditioner. Since I am a BzzAgent I receive free products to try and then share my opinions with other people. I smelled the shampoo, smelled the conditioner, and then stuck them in the shower. I waited until the weekend to try them, just in case I ended up with the same results as before. Boy, was my mind blown when I did try it. My hair was soft, non frizzy, and smelled great. I am thinking about making the switch from my current brand to Garnier Fructis.

What do you do?

What do you do when you see someone make so many mistakes? You try to guide them down the path they say they want. They get mad and tell you to leave them alone. You leave them alone, they make mistakes, they want to cry on your shoulder. They ask you what they did wrong, how to fix it. You reply. They become offensive again and try to place blame on you. Now you see them making more mistakes, you walk away. You are sick of the games that are played, you are tired of being told "You're a stupid bitch." Your done. The only thing that I can come up with is walking away. Leave the drama behind, don't talk to me, and I will not talk to you. On a different note, first semester of Master's classes is almost done. Two assignments, one more class each, and the semester is done. Only a few more years to go. Cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel just yet. However, I know it is out there.

Whoo

Ramblings

So, I quit. Quit taking the Chantix that is. I keep forgetting, it wasn't working.

Classes this semester are almost over,whoo. I am finally starting to understand a little of what is going on in my educational psychology class. And my multicultural class is AWESOME.

Not much else is going on.

Valentine's Day

So tomorrow night I have class. I am so hating school. The Tuesday class STINKS! And it is late too, 7:00-9:45, let me tell you, I am a beast on Wednesday.

Now...my husband gave me tickets to the Beatles show LOVE. Check it out, it is at the Mirage, here in Las Vegas.

I can't miss class, my grade depends on it...ARGH
