A lot to say....
Wow I can't believe this thing is still up and running.
Going to do a fast run down of the past year:
January, February, March of 2011 i really don't remember.
April: my grandfather pasted way...b/c we didn't want to be disrespectful and cause a scene we didn't go. My grandmother agreed. And then April 27th was the worse tornado outbreak I have ever seen.
May and June my grandmother was getting worse. Her dimentia was taking her away from us more and more each day.
July my 14 yr old cat Luke pasted away. And my dog/child Bitty was sick also
August about a week after Luke pasted Bitty had to be put to sleep..worse day of my life..and I honestly thought 2011 couldn't get any worse.
September large tree fell on my house. Had what happened typed and then it just disappeared.
October grandmother fell 3 times...one 911 call and 13 stitches later...she was doing ok and then my mom woke up and needed emergency surgery..she had 5 diverticulitis spot in her small intestine removed.. 13 inches.
November we had to put my grandmother in a nursing home...worse but best thing we could have ever done. Middle of November grandmother send to a hospital to get her meds adjusted. She hit a staff member up side the head with her shoe. Late November My great aunt Helen died...that was very rough on my family. Thanksgiving dinner was at the nursing home...gross food but able to be with grandmother. And she was not having a good day that day.
December was better..Christmas was better until we got done with lunch..grandmother turned her back on us and wouldn't talk to us..so we left. This was also the Christmas we were not going to do present, didn't have any money...at the last minute at Kara's house she said open this door and there were presents I was like a little kid..that was the best surprise ever.
January my sisters birthday grandmother had to go back to the hospital for another med adjustment. This time she hit someone up side the head with her purse. We now have her purse. We were afraid they were going to kick her out. They didn't.
February and March I don't really remember except I turned 32. Ummm and we used all of my grandmothers money and we didn't know how we were going to pay for her room anymore. And by this time she is 100% dependent on the nursing home staff.
April: Mom talked to my grandmothers brothers and they were able to help us pay for her $6000 a month room.
So that was taken care of we have been worried about mom..she is depressed and forgetting to do stuff...Kara and I have been trying to help but sometimes mom won't accept it.
May my grandmothers annuity came in and that paid for her room...we have been trying to get her on Medicaid for months but the annuity and her houses in Anniston have been hindering us. So that is one out of the way. Then my great uncle Dorris' pasted away. My first military funeral..wow..my cousin David was flown in from South Korea as my uncle asked that he play taps at his funeral.
Now that it's almost June we have to come up with another $6000 and I'm afraid we have nothing left.
So that is what has been going on with me.

getting scared
my grandmother is scarying me. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
tonight my grandmother was talking to me...and she was changing the subjects left and right. no biggie i even do that. Well, then she said something about she was up until 3am the other night thinking about how she only has 3 of 8 brothers and sisters left. i told her mam-maw they are all still ok they are all alive except for 2. She thought that it was just her, her sister helen and her 2 brothers max and herbert. (Wayne and Dorris--are still alive also). Her twin and her brother Gene are the only ones that have passed.
Also she is so confussed about things...and she wont go to the doctor. And when we try to explain them to her she gets frusterated and yells. And she is getting worse. Which i didnt think you could get any worse. She told my mom the other day that she was going to move back to Anniston. And she wasnt going to tell my mom until she was there. We were suprised at that. Also, we talked to her youngest brother Wayne tonight. And he thinks she and my aunt Helen should be put in assisted living. My mom said that she wouldnt do that. So i think the ruling is that mom is going to talk to mam-maw tomorrow while i'm at work. And then if she still wants to go and move in with Helen she is going to let her go. Which it has taken 2 1/2 years for her to finally realize that my grandmother hates it here. And i do mean HATES it here.
So that is what has been going on here. I also bought $150 worth of clothes today. Boy did i need them. But i only got 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants. Would have liked to have gotten more. But "big people clothes" are really expensive.
Well, that is all for now. Ta-Ta.
Love ya,
-Me-

Health issues/other news
well if you didnt read my facebook...i had about 2 weeks ago an EKG...i have a flutter in my heart. And then had an ultersound of my heart. I havent gotten the test results back on that. Going to call on Monday to see if everything is ok. To me no news is good news.
My doctor also took me off my migraine preventive medication and put me on a new heart pill.
So i'm taking 4 meds for my heart. BP medication. A water pill. Potassium b/c the water pill is taking the Potassium out of my body and now this medication that makes my heart to stop fluttering.
Also, i have tendenitis ...i thought i had arthristis but he said nope it's the tendends.
In other news:
As you know i havent talked to Jared since December. GO ME... And i dont care. Also be proud i have deleted him out of my cell. deleted his txt messages. Deleted him off my myspace. Deleted most of emails...there are a LOT. And life is great. Oh and he has a new g/f that guess what...looks a lot like me. like all the other ones. lol. Except she is 20 and has a very large head. Oh by the way Jared will be 28 in September. To have my life back and be in control of it...feels great. I can do what i want...and not worry if he's going to approve...and not have to worry about my cell phone being $40 higher. We were txting a LOT. And not be so stressed out about..."Will you move here...i want us to get married" umm NO! Also...i realized i'm better off. Like i have told ya'll before...i just wish the rose colored glasses had come off earlier. But trust me the are smashed and put in the trash now. I really do this that this was a learning experience for me. And trust me i have learned a lot. First is....when you break up with someone...it's over..move on. And two...make sure that the person you are with...makes you happy and likes the stuff you like...and you like the stuff they like...and they appreciate you. And they dont just say stuff to make you happy...and that they truely love you for who you are...inside and out. And know that if that person upsets you or hurts you or makes fun of your dreams or makes fun of you and your family...then they probably arent the person that you need to be with. Like i said i've learned a lot.
In other news.... i really cant wait to go to school and meet new people. Yes i'm scared out of my mind to do it...but i really think i need this. I know i can do that without going back to school but i think that it will be easier for me.
Ok well that's enough for now. I'm wrist is hurting from typing. I'll post again soon. Sorry for not doing like i said i would..and post at least once a week...i'm going to start doing better.
Going to try to start back on my diet...drinking water more...and doing exercise more...so i'll be posting about that. Hope this finds all of you well and i'll post again later.

busy busy busy...
Well work is really busy right now.
i finally got my tax return papers back...just got to turn it in..and then i'll have $$$ for about 2 seconds. lol.
But the main reason i wanted them down was so i could fill out the paperwork for finanicial aid to get in school.
Going to work on doing that in the next few days. I'm really excited. I hope that this is going to work out and that hopefully by the summer i'll be in school. Oh my goodness me in school again. But this will be a good thing all around...1. get out of the house 2. Meet new people (which ya'll know i'm scared to do) 3. Finally get my bachelors!!!!!!!!!!!! 4. maybe after i get my bachelors the economy will be a little better and i can quit my job and have a better job...mentally and money wise. And then 5. Might have enough money to move out.
Speaking of moving out...my mom and grandmother have been fighting a lot the past few weeks. Today my grandmother asked me of her last bank statement because she had to look at something on it and then she said Robin are those my other ones...i said yes and she said dont let me forget those when i go back home. Looked at her and said are you planning on leaving? and my GM said well i'm not going to live here forever i mean right now i'm stuck here i cant even drive my car. And plus you knew that when i moved here. Ummmm yes she was suppose to live here forever....that's why we moved your stuff into our house and we were going to sale your house. So mom was really upset...and cried. I stayed in my room because mom has told me that sometimes that's the best thing to do. So then my GM was upstairs and my mom said...tomorrow after we clean the office we are coming home and we are going to get all of her stuff packed/washed and i'm thinking i'm going to take her back to Anniston on Monday. So i hate that she is leaving like this...but i think this is a good thing. My GM will finally realize that things arent so bad here. and 2 that Anniston isnt all that great and wonderful.
Going to post another post in just a second. "Health update"

my dreams
So LeAnne posted about her little secret of one day being an actress and Sonja one day wants to be a writer. And i noticed that Sonja said..what does Boog want to be?
Well, this is what Boog wants to be:
Boog has been looking in to going back to school to get my bachelors degree at Faulkner in Business Administration and i would really love to get my teaching degree also and become a college professor of Business/Office Administration, since my Associates degree is in Office Administration.
I also would love to own a craft store most cross-stitch and scrapbook stuff. Both are i can do. It's just finding the time and energy to do them.
After i get my taxes done I'm going to set an appointment to talk to the financial aid counselor at Faulkner (who i know, she is a former co-worker) and see if i can get in the Business Administration program and if i do get in it i would have my bachelors degree in 13 months. Which is exciting. I know this isn't a dream like being an actress or writer but this is something i want to do.
One of those far off the wall dreams i would love to do is take about 3 months off and go traveling with you two and Joel. I think the four of us all have this "road trip" kinda air about us. Even though I'm the least traveled of the bunch. I would just love to go to different places. I would love to go to Ireland, Rome, Australia, Canada, Germany, Hawaii, etc. I think going to all the 50 states would be cool too. And just getting to know all of us better. Getting to know our habits (that we don't know now)..and getting to know Joel better. I mean he's one of my best friends but I've only met him once. So getting to spend time with him would be wonderful. And getting to see Son again. Miss you girl! And of course LeAnne you know how much i love spending time with you...i mean HELLO going through LeAnne withdrawals here and Sonja ones too.
I guess my dream is to live more...I'm finally at that point where i want to get out...meet new people (but to shy to)...meet my future husband (NOT JARED)...be in a relationship....get married....be a mom...and see the world and not look back...i want to spread my wings and fly. Maybe one day i will.
Miss you both very much. LeAnne we must get together soon. I'm going crazy here!!!!
Sonja hope you liked your package we sent.
LeAnne what did you leave out?
Well, it's late and it's been a long week and a half. So I'm going to go get some rest. Promise that I'll start posting here more. And TOTALLY understand you not wanting to post stuff Son. But if you need to vent/process how you are feeling. PLEASE feel free to email me/us. We are here for you!!!!!!!!!
Love you both very much <3,

havent posted in a few days.
Sorry i havent posted. Been kinda busy..sorta.
Last week i worked long hours let's go back to Friday the 16th...my supervisior asked off b/c it was her wedding anniversary. No problem. No was a holiday...went to my sisters house and hung out. Had a pretty good day.
Tuesday...worked 12 hours. Supervisior took the day off because on Monday she was to go to a slumber party the night before (she's 53 people). She called Tuesday and said that she didnt feel good and that she didnt go to a slumber party and that she was just going to stay home. I worked 12 hours i had cold....and couldnt breathe and didnt feel good and thought i had a fever. But yet i came in and worked.
Wednesday after working 12 hours the previous day i went in a 8am...and my supervisor was suppose to come in at 11...she came in at 9. Had to tell her what had happened the past few days. Didnt get the work i wanted to get done before she was suppose to come in. And ended up didnt get caught up.
Thursday...i told supervisor...look it's the Doctor's last day can you handle him today while i review charts. She was only to work 1/2 a day anyways. She said yes...so i reviewed the WRAP charts that i have been trying to review since October and got 6 out of 14 done. After lunch supervisor left b/c she was getting a pain block in her back.
Friday....Supervisor took the day off because she couldnt move....i did my Friday reports which took forever because one of the therapist wouldnt leave me alone and asking me stupid questions ...and then i reviewed 4 more WRAP charts.
So in recap....since the 16th i have worked 44 hours. Supervisior has worked 12.
Today, i slept really late...and then i have cross-stitched and took a nap the rest of the day.
Tomorrow i have to clean my office and my mom and grandmother are suppose to be going shoping but i dont know how they are going to do that since my mom helps me clean my office. OH well, we shall see.
Anyways...i'm gone. My friend John is online now so i'm going to go talk to him and see what he's up to and then go to bed.
Night!
