Still here…
I’m still here. Just got a very sick family member right now. I’ll be back soon.
Confessions
After reading a friend’s latest post, I finally feel comfortable doing what I intended to do with this blog to begin with. BE HONEST! (hence why I named it Honestly) I feel like the reason I’ve stopped and started blogging so many times is I felt I couldn’t be honest in fear of offending someone, or them not liking me. But if you guys don’t really know me at all, how can you make an accurate judgment of whether you like me or not. So below are things you might or might not know about me. These are all things that my husband, family and friends know about me (well for the most part), and they still love me, hopefully you will too!
* First of all, I curse like a sailor! Seriously ya’ll. I have a potty mouth. BUT, I know when it’s appropriate and when it’s not.
* I like to drink. I don’t get to do it very often, but when I do I’m a mess. Fun, loving, silly, but a mess! My drink of choice, either Whiskey Sours or shots of tequila or both 
* My life is by no means perfect or a fairy tale. My husband and I fight and sometimes it gets ugly (mostly on my part). But I know no matter what, we’ll always be together. He’s my rock, my sanity, my partner in crime. I often to use these 2 quotes to describe us:
“They didn’t agree on much. In fact they rarely agreed on anything. They fought all the time and they challenged each other everyday…But in spite of their differences, they had one important thing in common, they were crazy about each other.”
-The Notebook
“Well that’s what we do, we fight… You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I’m not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you’re back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing.”
-The Notebook
*I have a temper and sometimes I get all crazy white bitch. It’s something I’m working on. And I’ve actually gotten quite better at it.
* I miss my Mom like crazy, along with the rest of my family that lives far away. But I also kind of resent them for leaving me behind. Especially my Mom. Within a year I lost my Dad and my Mom. He died, she left and I felt completely abandoned. And now she’s remarried and I never get to see her because I can’t stand her husband and she knows it. I’m not rude to him. I’m quite nice actually. But I just don’t like him and don’t wanna be around him unless I have to be, which sucks cause it’s hurting my relationship with my Mom.
* I love Allen. He’s such a good kid. But I’m not gonna lie and say I love him just like my own. I take care of him and treat him just like he’s my own. But he’s not. And though I would never tell my husband this, sometimes I wonder what our life would be, where we would be, if Chuck didn’t have him. Sometimes I just feel held back. Mainly because if it wasn’t for Allen, Chuck and I would probably be living in Houston w/ the rest of my fam.
*I have a long row to hoe before I get done with school. Mistakes in my past (namely almost 3 semesters of never going to class) have come back to bite me in the ass. But I’m gonna do it! No matter how long it takes me I’m gonna hold that degree in my hand and feel the accomplishment I’ve been wanting to feel for so long.
Well guess that’s enough confessions for today. Besides Grey’s Anatomy is getting ready to come on! 
“Can’t nobody take my pride. Can’t nobody hold me down…
Oh no, I gots to keep on moving. “
Oh hey, sorry bout that. So it’s official, I have a slight fracture just before the joint. The doctor said it would heal just fine in a sling. Boooo! I was kind of looking forward to a Ky blue cast with a white UK painted on it! 
But I ain’t letting this sling slow me down. I drove today and went to the grocery store. I will say that smoking while driving and pushing a buggy full of groceries with one hand is terribly difficult. I’m also getting ready to fix some friend chicken and then I’m getting ready to go out for the night! I’m goin to a drag show with my aunt, her bff n her bff’s daughter who turns 21 today. I’m so excited!!! Think I’ll have some drinks to ease the pain in my arm 
Oh and did I mention, KENTUCKY WILDCATS ARE #1 IN THE NATION!!!!!
Stupid is as stupid does.
So yesterday, my big, tall, lanky self took it upon my self to climb on to a clearly unstable kid chair to remove something from the ceiling. And well, long story short I’m sitting here with my left arm in a sling. I have a possible fractured or sprained elbow. I’m going tomorrow to see an orthopedist and get a better X-ray. I’m actually kind of hoping for a cast, cause this sling is KILLING me! I even narrowed it down to two colors, pink or Kentucky blue. Wish me luck! Oh and if I get a cast, there WILL be pics!
Let’s try this one last time….
Since the new year began I have had a strong urge to start blogging again. I wanted to get back at it before school started back and my life became a hectic maze of classes, working, and being a wife….but that didn’t happen. Anyways I’m sitting here on a lazy rainy Sunday w/ not a lot to do so I figured why not make a post and get the ball rolling. PLUS I finally feel like my life is back on track so why not share it with you guys. So to get started, here’s whats going on these days:
* School started back Thursday and I am super pumped about this semester. I’m taking 4 education courses and an intro to film course. It’s gonna be a lot of work but I’m ready for it. (For those of you who don’t know, I’m going for my Bachelors in Special Education and then on to get my Masters in Speech Language Pathology. I want to be a speech therapist for the school system. Summers off? Yes please!)
* I’m still working at a daycare. I work 35 hours a week and go to school 2 days. Yes, it’s hard-core! Yes, I am whipped by the time Friday rolls around! But I find that I get a heck of a lot more done when I have less time to procrastinate.
*Chuck and I are going on 2 years of marriage. Allen is in his second half of kindergarten. We’re all doing pretty spectacular right now.
*I’m on a mission to drink more water these days. When I told a friend at work that I NEVER drink water she told me my insides were probably shriveled up and dieing of thirst. I got a mental image of my insides and have been drinking as much water as I can ever since!
*I’m also trying to become more healthy. I’m not necessarily watching WHAT I eat but HOW MUCH I eat. I’m also hoping to try to get on some sort of workout schedule. We wanna take Allen to the beach this year and I wanna be a hot SMILF! lol
*And I’m wearing my glasses like I should, and just went brunette!
Well, I guess that’s it for now. I’m off to cook a steak dinner for my hubby’s b-day. Laters!
