Happy Halloween

Halloween went good...the kids got a lot of candy, I admit that I am eating more of it then they are.  :p

I have decided today that I am going to quit cold turkey and stop smoking! I am sick of wasting money and I can not think about getting cancer and leaving my kids behind.  With all this stuff with my step dad finding out he has cancer has made me really think about how I should quit smoking to better my life.  So after tonight I am not smoking anymore.  It cost us too much each week to smoke and it really is a freaking waste of money.  I pay $7 a pack almost....crazy right!!! So with all that stuff, I am done.  I will not fail in my quest either.  I have quit many times before but for some dumb reason I started up again.  I hate smoking in public and I am ashamed of smoking so why do I even do it?  I have no idea...all I know is that it makes me feel sick when I quit because it is an addiction...an evil addiction!  I think I have the strength to get through it though this time.  I do not want to get cancer and die and I don't my kids to think smoking is cool or anything like that.  Anyways...I am going to get my youngest something to eat and send her to bed...then I am heading to bed myself. 

Ice Road Trucker's kind of day

Today was a great day in my life.  I got to meet a great man Alex who appears on a show on History Channel called Ice Road Truckers.  My family and I have been watching the show since the beginning and love Alex, because he is so down to earth.  His laugh is something that makes you feel at ease and the world is a good place to be.  Today I heard that laugh and his Canadian accent with my own ears in real life and it was amazing.  Alex took the time to get pictures with his fans, sign autographs and laugh and make jokes.  Meeting someone who is a Veteran trucker from the Ice Roads is a blessing to meet.  When in my life will I ever get the chance to meet such an amazing human?  Probably not for awhile if ever.  I got my step dad's Season 1 box set signed today by Alex, which made me cry, yep like a big baby, I couldn't help it at all because I was so happy to be doing something that my step dad would love to do.  Mom said he was so excited that I got that for him and I am glad to bring some happiness to him during this time of pain and hardship.  My step dad is a veteran trucker as well and from Canada so him and Alex have a lot in common.  I also got my picture taken with Alex which was awesome.  He also signed my picture I bought and signed stuff for my daughters.  He was so nice and so lovely in his Alex kind of way.  If you ever get a chance to meet this wonderful man I suggest you do it.  Even though I cried in front of a crowd of people I had my reasons to do so, it was a cry of happiness and a cry of sadness as I wished my step dad could of meet Alex in person.  But I am glad I was able to do it for him.  I heard people say "Awww she is crying" but in reality they had no idea why I was crying, and I cried most of the way home, I know, I know...big baby. 

But my day was great...it was an Ice Road Trucker's kind of day even though it was pretty warm and sunny...

Sunday, Sunday

Sunday was a good day. The Steeler's won today against the Miami Dolphins with a final score of 23-22. Close game but a win is a win I say. The Steeler's are now 5-1.

I finished up my paper for my Family Law class with my project partner. So that is now completed and turned in to my professor for review. Only a small page to do now and finish my other paper. I am looking forward to my break coming up but nervous about my last 3 classes I have to take with Kaplan. Then I am going to take a summer break and start classes at CalU hopefully for my Master's Degree in Legal Studies and Public Policy. Or I may start classes in January, we will see though.

The girls got their Halloween costumes, Lindsay is going to be Wicked Alice from Alice in Wonderland and Mackenzye is going to be Spidergirl, a female version of Spiderman. They both are going to look really cute.

Now I am just catching up on my shows before bedtime....hunny isn't feel good so hopefully he gets some sleep for the night.

TGIF for real!

I am so happy that today is Friday. Even though I have so much to get DONE by Tuesday for school. I worked on my Discussion Boards this morning and started working on my final project, but I am stumped with the future budgeting thing so I will need to read up on that some more before I finish it. Then I have to finish up some on my final project for my abnormal psychology paper on Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I have most of it done so that shouldn't be an issue there. Just need to piece it all together and get it done. I know I will get it done on time..I always do.

On to other things, I need to clean and reorganize the house, I have stuff to put away that mom gave me and do up some dishes and decide what we want to have for dinner. Might have to go to walmart later for some food, unsure yet. Have to discuss that with the hunny before we do anything. Since my daughter has a girl scout event tonight at 7pm til 9pm. She is excited to be finally doing stuff for girl scouts since last year they didn't have a leader.

I am also excited for the Left 4 Dead 2 game night for pwned that is tonight! I have yet to play that game online! I hope it will be a fun time.

Then I get to spend so much needed cuddle time with my hubby!

*Have a great weekend everyone!*

Great News!!!

I will be able to attending California University of Pennsylvania for my graduate degree! I will be going for my Master's Degree in Legal Studies (Law and Public Policy). They emailed me today and told me that my Bachelor's Degree from Kaplan will be accepted! I am beyond happy right now!

Acupuncture and Herbal Works

I found a place that is close to me that offers acupuncture and herbal remedies for a number of things. I emailed the doctor to see if she could help me in any way. I suffer from anxiety, insomnia, arthritis, and a few other things. It is listed on her website that they offer help for those things through acupuncture and herbal medicines. I really hope my insurance covers it so I can get it done, if not I might try to pay for it myself because I am tired of living this way! The office is close to me and only about a 25 mile drive, which is pretty close, if you know where I live. I just want some help and I am tired of the medical doctors I see, they try to put me on every medicine they can and it doesn't help me at all. So I am hoping to hear back from her, I will let you know if I can get treated.

Normal Day

Well today turned out to be a normal day in my life. Cleaned up the kitchen, did the dishes and washed laundry. I also made spaghetti for dinner, which was really good tonight for some reason. I am just relaxing now and watching some tv. Tonight my daughter told me she wants to be a CSI Tech and I thought it was funny beacuse she loves watching those shows on tv. I am watching Law and Order-LA now, pretty decent show so far. Tomorrow I plan to work on my final project for my Family Law class. I am not excited to start that project at all. But it needs done before Tuesday so I need to get busy. Tis life of a student I guess, always a project or paper to write up. :)

California University of Pennsylvania

I found something amazing and I am going to look into it! California University of Pennsylvania offers a Master's Degree Program in Legal Studies! I already sent for more information and emailed them my questions on being accepted into their program for the upcoming semester in 2011. I am excited and I hope I can get into CalU. I really want to attend a University from my home state! CalU is about an hour or so south from me but all my classes will be online and I could attend their graduation if I would want to do that. I really hope to hear back from them today on this subject. Having a Master's Degree from a University that is amazing would be a great help when trying to get my foot in the door at a law firm! I am excited about this new venure in life I am about to take. I will have my Bachelor's Degree in the early part of 2011, and then I want to go straight into the Master's Program! Wish me luck on getting in though. I need a gpa of 3.0 and my gpa as of right now is a 2.91. I need to buckle down this next term and do very well so I can get into the CalU program! I am really excited as you can tell....I love learning and the Master's Program is something I have thought about for a really long time now!

Wednesday is the middle of the week

Today, the sun is shining beautifully! I just finished drinking my cup of coffee for the day. My daughter is watching her cartoons as normal and I checked my facebook. I signed up for this site called Booksneeze.com and I signed up to read and review my first book. A Year with God. I hope to find some substance in this right now as I need some inspiration in my life. I am not a big reader but I really would like to read more books, so maybe this will help me get into that habit. This week starts my final week of my classes in Family Law and Abnormal Psychology. I have two major papers to write for those classes and then I will be done. I know I did not do as well as I should have in those classes but with everything going on in my life right now, I did the best I could with it. I did not fail them but I did not get that A like I wanted to. Anyways, I will probably clean today and help my husband when he gets home do stuff around the house. Trying to get everything put away for the winter that is outside and do stuff in the house as well. I also really need to get an early start on my final papers for school so I am not overwhelmed this weekend with them. My daughter is also in girl scouts and she has an event this Friday to attend. I am trying to get her involved with as much stuff as I can because I did not get the chance to do those things when I was in school. My life is pretty normal, nothing real special happens in my day to day life. I am also struggling with the idea on what to do when I am done with my final 3 classes. I am thinking of going to get my Master's Degree in Legal Studies. The program is 18 months long and will take a lot of knowledge and I am unsure if I can do it. So, that is something else on my mind, among other things in life. Well I hear the dishes calling my name for me to wash them up so I think I am going to do that now.

Terminal cancer patients routinely exploited by high-profit screening scams even as death approaches

Terminal cancer patients routinely exploited by high-profit screening scams even as death approaches

So sad to read this with my step dad going through chemo treatments. Our gov. kills millions each year with its so called treatments. Natural medicine is best...to bad western ways do not like these ideas. Our government backs the FDA and CDC which are a joke in my eyes. Big Pharm is not the answer for America...it is killing people each year and they are doing it legally.

Use of my blog

I am going to use this blog for anything that I feel that is important to me at that moment in time. I have been going through a lot lately with my step dad finding out he has stomach cancer and that cancer is stage 4. A lot of emotions are running through my veins about it. I love him a lot and just want him better asap. I hate cancer right now and wish it would go away for everyone in the world. I have also been researching a lot about eating healthier and what really is in our foods and medicines. So maybe post a little bit of everything in here that I find. I also am an avid video game player, not lately but I do love to play and own all 3 current systems. I also am going to school for my Bachelor's Degree in Legal studies so maybe post some stuff about school. I am almost done with this term and then I will have one term left and I am unsure of what I am going to do yet. I am thinking of getting my Master's Degree in Legal Studies. Any advice in that area would be helpful to me. I am just going through a lot of changes in my life at this moment. I love to write so this should be a great way for me to express my feelings and thoughts. Thanks for reading and please follow...more to come!
