hot and cold

that is what my face feels like hot then cold..... could it be a fever or possibly just side effects of "TYLENOL SINUS NON DROWSY" medicine. When me and Julie were cleaning today I kept sniffling and finally she said DO U WANT A KLEENEX? (not being rude) and I was like oh ya I forget that blowing the snot out lasts a little longer than snorting it up. EEEEEEEEEEEW is that gross or what. I am a sexy sexy snothead!!!!! hahaha

Well tomorrow is New years woweeewow. I have another house to clean by myself this time. I hope I feel better tomorrow, if not well I guess I will have to drink Rum and Diet Coke for NY Eve celebration.

ADIOS FOR NOW!

I am losing you here

Okay, why is it that I feel like I have plenty of time to answer all emails in a prompt manner but I can't make myself blog? I keep thinking of interesting things to write about and then I get to this lil blogger page and .............. aduh........aduh........... aduh............. Okay well I am SICK now, it sucks. Julie and I are cleaning that house in Oak Lawn today. The very dirty messy woman who likes to treat us like maids as in hang up my clothes etc etc. That is okay with me, but things are different when you have someone else with you. She does not like that. It is understandable tho cuz it is a long drive out there and we don't make that much $ off it and therefor don't want to have to stay any longer than absolutely necessary. B/c there is a long drive home, too. I mean 30 min to clean a house. BUT I am not complaining b/c before this chick called I literally had NO money and NO jobs scheduled for another week. I am just sick, so I am negative. (I am not always like this am I?) NE WAYS I am feeling very stuffed up in my head. Kind of out of it, but I am AFRAID of dayquil. It makes me feel even more out of it. But at least my nose wouldn't run....... Hmmm Decisions decisions. WEll I just want to say I love you Loyal Readers and I hope you have a grand and glorious day. Any plans for NY EVE? I think Jarrod and I will be here if anyone who lives close wants to come over!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas

OOOOOOOPs I just realized my AOL has been on ALL DAY!!!!!!! Oh my gosh what a retard, I walked off and left it. Oh well. Anyway if anyone tried to call today, sorry about that. We went to Jarrods parents most of the day and had a good time w/ them. Last night we went to his grandparents for the traditional christmas eve large family once a year gathering. It was cool. I enjoy it more every year. Then we went over to our friends house til like 4 am, which was pretty fun. We got to see our goddaughter who is a lil cutey pie, being very hyper at 2 am cuz of medicine for pneumonia. I haven't got ahold of my parents today, but I guess they are with my grandparents. My grampa tom has been in the hospital lately, b/c of cancer....... :( sadness.... ANywaysssssssss merry chrismtas and much love, Caroline

blah blah blog

that reminds me of bah bah blacksheep have u any wool.........

anyway i spent most of last night wrapping christmas prezzies. Mostly for Jarrods family.... Yup they were all for them. I made cute little tags to go on them too. :) And yesterday I actually accomplished mailing Gold's present to him. I got him these cute goggles that have a shark fin on top so when he plays in the pool or tub he can pretend to be a shark. :)
My grandpa Tom went in the hospital yesterday. He has some kind of growth that can possibly cause a stroke.....sounds scary. I am worried about him and my gma. My mom is taking care of my gma and driving her all over the place so that is good. He is in the hospital all the way in Garland. YUKKY long drive. Anyway keep him in your thoughts and prayers. More later.

MAY I JUST SAY!

that Christmas shopping is insanity. It is for a good reason, ya know, you want to get people something to represent how much they mean to you, but you go through the store, bumping into people, trying to keep your manners and not get irritated, everything is on a time schedule, nothing is the perfect gift.... time slips away... OH jeez how did I get into this mess? haha. Well the reason I am Christmas shopping at all iz cuz my parents mini church raised some money to buy prezzies for my nieces, so that is what I was shopping for. Too much fun man. Oh my gosh. How is it possible to shop til you feel like you are about to mentally "DROP"? Crazyness! Hope all of you have similar experiences to share???

Lost but not forgotten

Yea, I am not quite the queen of blog that some people are, but I guess I have been neglecting my computer lately. I have been answering emails a lot more, so maybe that is why I have had nothing to say on my blog. If you write me, I will write you! :) XOXO

So, Friday, Johnnie died. She is gone now. She is in heaven now. It is so sad for Betty. Having her mommy there for so many years of her life (Johnnie was 90) and then she is gone forever. I feel really bad for her, and I want to be there for her, but I do not know what to say or what to do or how to act. She has tons of family around her right now and I don't want to be in the way. Plus I only knew her like 2 weeks. Anyways, I am glad for Johnnie b/c she was miserable. She was in pain. But I will miss talking to her. She was so silly. And my grandma loved her so much, I know she is sad. I think once you get to a certain age and ppl start dying, though, it is not as sad as it is when you are young and death seems so far away.

Anyways today is christmas celebration at my parents house. I am excited. I hope my parents are okay. My brother got in trouble last night adn they seemed bummed out and not in the spirit of the holiday. I don't know what to tell them, I don't know what to tell him. It is confusing. BUTTTTTTTTTT Happy Holidaze ya'll!!!! LOVE YA MUCH! Caroline

i sorry

I am sorry, I just have been having wierd days. U know how the holidaze are... I don't mean to slack on my blog. Sometimes I skip it b/c I am afraid to say too much, to actually use it as a journal. I do not want my depressing thoughts to bring anyone else down or to be turned into gossip.

Last night I had a crazy dream that there was a bunch of people at some gymnasium type place and there were these creature sort of things that trapped us all in there and we all had to keep walking around and talking and stuff like that for like hours and days and I don't know how long but whoever fell asleep would be killed. It was so scary. It sounds corny, I realize. We were all trying so hard to keep eachother awake and it seemed like no one would ever lose, which was good, but then this little blonde chick just went and laid down.... It was wierd.

Tuesday and Weds. I spent at Betty's house watching Johnnie. Tuesday was great. Johnnie was so awake and seemed so close to normal all day. We had a great time. I didn't get to see Betty much but when I did it was cool. She is the neatest and Sweetest person I swear. It would be so hard to have your mom in your house, dying, slowly... I don't know if I could stand it. Anyways then Tues night was bad for Johnnie, she was in a lot of pain and was incoherent. So Betty was up all night w/ her. I brought pictures over and the movie Finding Nemo on Weds unaware that Johnnie would not even know who I was again.
So it was sad...... It is sad to see her sick and hurting so much. I tell you one thing, if you want to forget your problems, go spend some time w/ someone who really has them. NE WAY, today hopefully I am going to work on a Christmas present for someone. I may go work for Betty again though, who knows.

My brother is going to go to Northlake college w/ me next semester. That is a trip. I am 7 yrs older than him!

I also got a phone call from my long lost friend Sherry last night. I had not talked to her for 1 1/2 years. It was so great to talk to her. She is a good person, who is on a good path for herself and keeping a positive attitude despite the harshness of life. Good good times.

on a side note:
If you see someone drowning, do you keep praying or jump in to save them even though you can't swim?

MOBY SONG

I think I have mentioned Moby before. I am a little tiny bit in love with the CD "PLAY" even though I do not own it. I listen to it on Weds. when I clean a certain special house. :) wink wink. Anyway....... since last night I have had these lyrics running through my head: "Ain't nobody know my troubles but God...." Yup. That is it. I am not explaining anything else.

slackin on the blogger

Whoops, I have missed a couple days. Hum de dum.

Well I was thinking of something this morning while I was bleaching my bathroom sink. You see I went to a Christmas party last night where a few people knew my ex...Jeremy. And they still talk to him, etc. And some of me and Jarrod's other friends that we do not talk to anymore. Well they were talking about what so and so is doing etc. And I realized that life can be boiled down to making choices and sticking to them. For instance you can't decide to get married, then be unfaithful. Being unfaithful is running from the "hard stuff" for a moment of fun. That results in worse consequences. Sticking to it may not always be the most enjoyable and fun thing to do, but it has better end results. I dunno..... I have realized in the last year or so that being married and staying married is something that I really want. And knowing what I want, well that is a miracle in itself. So I am determined to give some things up if I have to, to keep what I have, because it is what I want. I don't know if I am making sense here or getting my point across. I am just thankful for what I have and that I didn't get what I could have.

Ok, today is comment if u never comment day. I have heard there is someone out there who reads this but does not comment to me! So come on..... be brave, you don't even have to put your real name down, just make up one that I will know who u are but no one else will! I LOVE YOU ALL XOXO

blaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhg

HEE HEE
That is what I feel like this morning. I had a couple draaaaaaaaaanks last night, and this morning, although I am up and dressed and doing daily chores by 7 a.m., I feel not quite all the way HERE.

Brent, I think Shelby would make an AWESOME garage band rocker!!!!!! And Anna is learning guitar........ :)

Clint, they played mostly Christmas music at the symphony. "Its the most wonderful time of the year", " An evening in december", "March of the toys", "Deck the halls", "Do you hear what I hear"...... The three songs they played that were not Christmas were "Trepak" and "waltz of the flowers" from the nutcracker and "Farandole" from the L'Arlesienne Suite No. 2..... I think they could have played ANYTHING and I would have been amazed. I do not ever listen to instrumental or classical music. My favorite song was definately "waltz of the flowers", though.

Kendra... Sorry that I have not been blogging. It is funny how time can go by. Is it really Wednesday already??? Well Monday I did not end up going to school because Betty called me to come work for her. I was supposed to sit w/ Jonnie and clean out her bathroom, etc. I ended up hanging all of Betty's outdoor Christmas decorations and helping her clean her guest house, and helping her construction guy clean the room he had just cut a door hole for. Hanging the Christmas decorations had to be the best part. It was a beautiful day on Monday! She has a neat deck out back that has a little bridge going over to her guest house and then a deck along her guest house. It was fun to be creative and get paid for it! :) As Cassie would say WOO HOO!

I can't remember what I did Monday night.......OH YA!!!!!!! Jarrod and I went over to his momma's house cuz it was her 51st bday. We ordered pizza, well actually his dad ordered us pizza and even got me hot wings, which was super sweet of him, and we played Rummikub. It was cool to hang out with his parents. It has been MONTHS since we hung out with them. And they live 10 minutes away... ANYWAY it was also cool to see our adorable nieces, too.

I was telling them how I have been having wierd thoughts popping into my head lately about BABIES. Kendra, you know this because I started randomly mentioning it in November when you were here... I do not WANT to think about babies, but they keep sneaking in my mind. So Jarrods mom told me she thinks anyone who has been married a couple years starts thinking about kiddos. And jarrods dad said no, the women start thinking about them and the men just start worrying about it happening. His dad is pretty fuh knee sumtimes. :) Anyway this is probably the longest blog EVER! BUT the rest of my story is that yesterday I went to breakfast at IHOP w/ the biblestudywomen and then went to school for hours...... finished my humanities class WOO HOO! And came home and had a fun and silly night w/ Jarrod. Today I am going to Evelyn's then to school to finish Economics THANK THE LORD! and I will be done w/ skewl for the semester! Too bad I did not register at UNT in time to go there next semester..... GRRRRRRRR... well I will worry about that later. Happy WEDS ya'll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a day comparable to a burfday

yes, yesterday was most definately a wonderous day that could be compared to a birthday. I got to attend the Dallas Symphony with my sis in law Tivany. That was such amazing music. We had, truly, the best seats in the house, and it was just an all around great experience that everyone should try. I can not wait to go back. I can not believe I liked the symphony... It was fun to hang out w/ Tivany, too, since I don't see her that much.

Then when i got home George and Cassie were here and I went to see Freaky Friday at the dollar movie with Cassie. THAT was a good movie! :) Every mother/daughter should go see that together. haha. In one part of the movie they take the daughter's door off the hinge in her bedroom as a punishment. THAT would definately be a horrible punishment.

Well today I am off to school, once I do my morning rituals...
More later.

good ol friday night

last night was a good night. i went to the lost and found concert w/ my parents and siblings and grandparents. it was a groovacious show as always. My grandma even started liking it at the end..... Then I went to my parents and hung out and laughed w/ them and franky and dani his friend, and her mom. It was funness. Then I came home and watched Pirates of the Carribean with Jarrod, George and Cassie. That was a purdy good movie. I liked Johnny Depps character except there were a few parts where he seemed like the same character he played in fear and loathing. NE WAYS. Today I am making my niece Christina, who turns five today, a sticker book. Her party is at 1:00 at mcdonalds. WOO HOO. I had a mcdonalds party once when i was a kid and I accidently burnt myself w/ the coffee and got it all over my dress that my mom or someone made me. It was a cute dress and I was really upset.

A thought stolen from "TUESDAYS W/MORRIE":

many of us read PEOPLE magazine, tabloids, watch EXTRA, etc etc etc..... We get completely consumed in other people's drama. Why is this? Why, would we waste precious hours of our life being concerned w/ people we don't know, who don't know us or anyone close to us? HMMMMMMMMMMMM

YOU ALLLLLLLLLLLL ROCK!

thanks so much for all the comments! U people are so awesome. Thanks thanks thanks. I needed to feel the love!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I was at skewl almost allllllll day, but one of my assignments i had to do was watch THE RED VIOLIN which is an older movie well a few yrs ago anyway but man that is soooooooo good! everyone should see it! It was so amazing and interesting and suspenseful, i didn't even mind sitting there w/ headphones on in a slightly uncomfy chair for 2 hours and 15 minutes.

Cassie is over again tonight w/ her dad george. She is playing pac man right now (we have the big arcade game if anyone likes that kind of stuff) and we were playing monopoly earlier. She whooped up on my bad..... must be that youth thing. She is 13.

Tomorrow is going to be so exciting! I got a new job. Well I will be cleaning this lady's house who is friends w/ my grandma. Her mom is really really sick and they have people come take care of her like elder care stuff like I did w/ Evelyn, but it is through agencies so the agency gets paid by medicaid and they pay the employees like $7.50 an hour. I don't think I can do that little of an amt of money, but I will figure that out as it comes. For now I am just going to get to clean her house every week or two or three weeks. I am looking so forward to it. Oh ya and another reason I probably won't sign up w/ the agency is that I do not want to get assigned to an older man. I am not good at communicating w/ most men. And I am sort of afraid of them. Plus a lot of old farts are DIRRRRRRRRRTy. haha

well Love ya'll happy day and night XOXO caroline thanks again for commenting!!!!!!!!

hum de dum

Kendra, are you the only person who reads my blog? Or is there some anonymous readers out there?

Yesterday I went to work w/ Jarrod, which was fun. We were in the car for 13 hours. YIKES! He said we could have driven almost to Las Vegas in that time...haha. That is his job though, sucky as it is. Maybe someday I will graduate college and be a phat paycheck accountant so he can do something more enjoyable....hmmmm...anyone have their doubts?

Today I cleaned Evelyn's house and now I am at skewl, trying to catch up since the semester is almost over. Fun stuff man.

Love ya'll
Caroline
