I have an announcement to make before I really close down this Xanga Website...some of you might hear this from me in person but others who are unable to do so....


I'm expecting again.  7-8 months from now and I'll be having this:





I don't know my due-date yet, I just found out yesterday and I'm kind of in shock, but I have a doctor's appointment scheduled for the end of the month.  When I do find out how far along I am, I'll let everyone know.

Well, I'm working two part-time jobs at the moment...at Maurices and PRACS as a phlebotomist.  I know, crazy right?  Me, the one scared of needles, drawing other people's blood!  I've been training and I actually got to practice a little!  I'm already having so much fun, I know this is going to be a great job.  Maurices is going well but I'm not getting as much hours as I'd like.  I've been really stressed out and emotional lately, I'm not sure why but I get really depressed when I'm alone.  During or after work I'm raring to go, I've got so much energy and I'm so happy.  Isn't that weird?  I think it's good for me to get out once in a while...

I'm so nervous!!!  At the end of my training I have to take a test in order to become a real Phleb!!  Wish me luck...


My daughter is the most beautiful little girl on the face of the planet.  She is so sweet and I just love this phase she's in.  I'd show you guys pictures, but our camera doesn't work!   There are times when she's a little fireball though....she sometimes hits or bites and then she gets in trouble.  Other than that though, Natalie's a sweetheart. 


Kris is an assistant manager at Taco Bell and he usually works nights.  It's kind of hard to get time to ourselves to talk and just hang out, but it's nice to be able to help him provide for the family.  I feel like I'm finally pulling my own weight financially.  Natalie is still my first priority, though.  I'd do anything for her.  As for college, I need more time to get my ducks in a row before I go back, but I want to finish so badly.  It's hard being patient right now but I need to get other things out of the way first.  I'm thinking about majoring in Art when I return.  I love drawing, most of you know.  But all the stuff I like to do....well....doesn't pay very well.  It's nice to have this PRACS job, if I stick there a couple years, I could be working in a real clinic.  Then I could draw/write/do other things in my spare time and take a shot at maybe finishing one of the several stories I've started.  I'm such a procrastinator!


I've been trying to get my house in order so that when I start working regularly after my training's done I won't be all overwhelmed by chores around the house.  With how hard Kris has been working I kind of hold the fort down myself and I've been honestly failing at it.  I actually want my friends to be able to come over and not be like, "Good Lord...did Hurricane Katrina hit her kitchen?"  Anyways, heh, the house is about 1/3 done...The bathroom and bedroom are finished so now baby's room, kitchen, and living room!  I'm a total slob, this is a huge change for me.  Never have I actually pushed myself to clean. 


Oh and I'm still a huge World of Warcraft geek.
