My Georgia adventure

What an adventure I had!!! Ok so I left for Denver Sunday to do some work and hang out with friends. I got back to my grandmas house on Tuesday to find my computer had gotten a virus....I took it to Office Depo and they said they could fix it and thank GOD save everything off my hard drive. After this I will be buying an external hard drive to keep a back up of everything on.
Well we leave for the airport Wednesday morning, Mom and Terry say our flight leaves at 12:30pm, so we get to the airport around 10am. We as in me, grandma Patsy, me Mom Vickie, Step Dad Terry, and the girls. Well we park the car, get one the shuttle, get to the check in counter and Grandma patsy doesn't have her I.D. Luckily they just flag her ticket and she has to basically get a cavity search, but she makes it. While waiting for her Terry looks at our boarding pass and the plane really leaves at 11:30am not 12:30am. It is now 11am and the flight is boarding. AHHHH!!! I take the girls and run to the tram to get to the right terminal and get in line to get them McDonalds. While in line I hear "final boarding for flight to Atlanta, all passengers must be on board" AHHHHHH!!!! So me and the girls run to the gate, only to find mom and terry are off looking for me. What a cluster fuck!! Needless to say we made it. We got to Atlanta, got our minivan and off we went. We get to our hotel in Columbus, GA get checked in and off to bed so we can go to the "Turning Blue" Ceremony at the base.



The next morning we are off to the ceremony, well everyone but Grandma Patsy, she has no I.D to get on the base. We arrive at the guard shack, we ask directions and the nice man says "turn left" what does Terry do, turns right!! LOL Not only does he turn right but he also does a burn out., in the mini van may I remind you. LMAO!!! At this point I am laughing so hard I am crying. The ceremony was amazing, I cried, my little brother is defiantly a man now! It was amazing to see him. Oh and at the ceremony I try to take a picture only to realize the screen on my camera has water IN it. Yep first the computer and now the camera.... After this we go get lunch and have a relaxing day. I just want to tell you Columbus, GA is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, and the people are so friendly. It is hard to describe the feeling. It was like there was something in the air. It felt like there was so much flavor there, in Grand Junction there is only flavor if you are a crack head.
The next day was graduation, and that was AMAZING!! At the back of the graduation field was a hill and all the sudden we heard bombs and gunshots then smoke, all the sudden a infantry team appears over the hill, in full gear. They come twards the stands like they are at war. I got chills, it was Awesome. At Graduation I took this great picture of me, only to realize there is a weirdo in the background deep troughting his fingers..(see picture # 2) Graduation ended, we had lunch and headed to Atlanta. That night we rode the MERTA, Atlantis train system. Mom and I made us all get off in an "interesting" part of town. Ned less to say Terry and Grandma Patsy were not up for an adventure and made us get back on. That night we had some dinner, took the girls swimming, and hung out.
The next day we went downtown Atlanta did the Aquarium, and the World of Coke tour. The girls LOVED the aquarium, it was so cute to watch them chase the fish. We went back to the hotel, Grandma took the girls up to the room for dinner. I got to sit and have a nice birthday dinner with my mom and terry. Mom and I also got to have a bottle of wine, then we went to the airport to buy a candy bar and feminine needs. This was fun me and mom a little lit from wine running around the airport, doing the robot to live piano music, and making fun of people. Now you know were I get my weirdness!!! We get back to the hotel and deliver Terry his candy bar, after he ignored me bird calling him. LOL Then my mom and I sat in the sports bar area and had a nice long chat. It was nice to just hang out with her, no kidds.
The next day it was back to the airport to come home. We got our flight time right, hung out, had breakfast, all was going well this time around. Until we get to Denver and I realize I cannot find my car keys. Yep my car is currently parked at the airport. We had to take a buss to a shuttle to get back to grandma patsy's, were mom and terry were parked. We got in to Denver at 12:30pm we did not get to Grandma Patsy's until 5pm. Then mom and Terry still had to drive home. i fucked up big time.!! I still have no clue were my keys are other than somewhere in Georgia. Luckily I have a spare that Brandy overnighted to me and as long as it starts my car I am in luck!! While writing that I got this sick feeling that key is for our old 4-runner.....o-shit.
i guess my trip isn't over yet.....hopefully I make it home tomorrow.........

Updates on life as I know it....

So much has happened since my last blog, here are all my updates
Here is my update on my crazy neighbors, if you missed my first two blogs you can find them here...fucking-crazy-neighbor.html, and.....crazy-neighbors-crazy-night.html
I am pretty sure my crazy neighbors husband is a pervo. The other day me and the kids has just gotten done swimming and we were laying on the patio warming up. I look up and they are flooding my patio again, so I say something to Teagan, because I have no one els to say something to, and the next thing I know crazy neighbor husbands head is over the fence trying to talk to me about it as I lay in my bikini. AHHH....He says it floods because my house is in a hole. I told him I was done talking about it, and he stood there for a couple minutes. I finally had to go inside and wait for him to get down. Weird right?? He was just staring at us.....PERVO!!!
Ok now on to our money issues if you missed that blog it is here....not-easy-to-share.html
We have some good news finally. We traded the truck and got a Jeep. A pretty nice jeep too, a 2004 Jeep Wrangler. It fits all three kids and better yet cut the payments in half. We paid $400 a month for the truck and the jeep is $236 a month. It sounds like we have someone from Pueblo coming to buy the camper tomorrow. Hopefully we can just figure out something with the Sequoia and we will be way better off. My guts are still a mess from all the stress, but with some tenderness and sleep I will be better. Altho we got the truck traded I would NEVER recommend anyone go to Carvill Auto Mart EVER!!!! It took forever to make our deal, like a week and a half, they didn't put the spair in or buff the headlights, we have to make an appointment to go that, and, AND they dropped it off at our house on empty. Literally the gas light was on! WTF!!!
Well that about it for now, oh one more thing. THANK YOU!!! We have had so much support from my family and our friends. It is amazing how many people have been or are in the same situation as us, and it is so nice to have so much support. THANK YOU ALL!!!!!

My Xingular review

Ok I want everyone to keep in mind this is my personal review and opinion. Ok with that said.....here it is......
There is a product out there that is blowing up right now it is called Xingular. It is a weight loss pill, well not just pill. You can get a powder form to mix it water. They have other items, but I have not go that far into it. I was recently given a sample of Xingular and I have to admit at first I was a little offended, because what is a weight loss supplement going to do for me?? I currently weight between 110lb and 115lb, I do not need to loose weight. After talking to the people who gave it to me I understood it can be used as a prework out supplement. So I thought well I will try it..so I did. I took one Xingular pill when I got up, then I ate my breakfast about 20min later. This is what I was instructed to do. Well once it kicked in I thought I was going crazy!! LOL My mind was racing and I was so jittery. Luckily I was on the way to the gym to burn off this crazy (not in a good way energy). I got to the gym and I must admit I had the best run. I ran 6miles in 52 minutes, which is a 8min 40sec mile pace. AWESOME!!! Xingular defiantly gave me the energy I needed to have a great work out. Al tho this is a good thing I have some concerns. First I feel like Xingular would be a crutch, like with out it I could not have a great work out. I want to know when I end my run that I did it, because of my will power not because of a pill I took. Second I got to looking at how much caffeine Xingular had in it 90mg HOLY SHIT!! That is more than an energy drink. I know, I know it is all natural, but so is the caffeine in an energy drink. Being all natural does not necessarily mean it is healthy. Now think about this, how many people do you know cannot function with out coffee, or soda, well it is because of the caffeine. There are many people out there addicted to caffeine in some form. What happens when you take Xingular for a week straight and then miss a day, you are going to feel like shit from caffeine withdrawal. I don't drink a lot a caffeine so I think it was kind a shock to my body when I took the Xingular.The makes of Xing are smart, with that much caffeine no one will be able to get off the Xing with out going through withdrawals. So they are more likely to just keep taking it, meaning constant income!! Smart!! Third it suppresses your appetite, which is great if you remember to eat! LOL I am busy That day I went to the gym and ran, and then I work from 1pm to 10pm. I didn't remember to eat until 4pm because I didn't get hungry. That is not a good thing after running 6 miles. I know that this is a personal responsibility issue, but I am busy and never take time for my self. I need my stomach to growl and ask to be fed!! lol Al tho this pills work for some people, and the weight loss has been proven, it is defiantly not for me. Do I want another awesome run time, HELL YES, but this time I want to know I did it because I trained hard not because I took a magic pill.
P.S please remember this is just my experience, if you love Xing that is great it just isn't for me.

Not Easy to Share

I am about to share something with you that not many people would share. I feel this is the best way to get it out, I don't want to have to explain things to people over and over again, and I know there are other people in our same situation. Chris and I are sinking in debt. Our monthly bills are $500.00 more than he makes, and that is simply the bills not anything fun like eating out or simply going out. This could be fixed easily Chris could work extra, but he simply doesn't want to. I understand why he doesn't want to, he is a family man and he loves to spend time with us. This situation has sunk our marriage as well. Chris is upset because he isn't providing for his family, and I am upset because I didn't understand why he wouldn't just work more. This has been going on for a couple months now. Well Chris and I sat down today and I told him I am not mad that he doesn't want to work extra, but we need to figure something out because we cannot live like this anymore. I was so scarred to have this conversation with him. I am scarred that he will start to hate his family and life because he doesn't have a nice truck, jeep, camper, ect..... He says he wont. To fix our situation we are selling our camper and both cars. We are going to buy two cars that are cheaper and use the camper money to get us caught up. I have to admit I harbor a little anger, because of the truck and chris putting us in this situation, but I am also so proud of us. We are fixing a problem before it gets worse. We can communicate and reach an understanding of how thing have to be done. I know our marriage can only get stronger from this, and luckily we are young and one day we will have a nice camper, jeep, truck, ect....just not right now. So next time you see me and I am not in my car please don't ask why, don't judge me, just say it is cute even if it a beater! LOL If you are in the same situation I feel your pain and I am here if you need to talk. I know how stressful this is, trust me I have been crying for the last few months, and not sleeping from stress. I am so proud of my family and I know things can only go up from here!!!!
