Stressed

I am feeling alittle indifferent today I guess thats how you would say it, I love school and always have it has been my savior from the bad things all my life as long as I could get away from my life and live in another then I knew everything would be alright, but lately things are beginning to change for me I don't feel as great about life as I should Imean I have a beautiful family and we have our share of problems just like everyone else but, it seems as if laely I am just a little on the edge of blowing up and although I try to bite my tongue (ALOT) I am just keeping all that frustration locked up inside of me and it is beginnig to take its toll on my spirit and my flesh.........

Just another day

I started this blog for school and although I don't visit it very much and I don't know if anyones reads it I often find myself coming back here to release some type of stress or anxiety that I am going through at the moment so here is my issue this week. I am married and have been for almost 11 years now, for the past four years I have ben single handedly taking care of everything (bills, kids....) and my husband doesn't see anything wrong with that I only work part time at a job that only pays me $10.67 an hour and I am trying to take care of a family of four this is beginning to get a lot stressful for me and I am getting tired and the more I say I need help the more my pleading goes unanswered, what am I to do? I need help with our economy getting so bad I am afraid that we are going to become homeless that is something that I cannot handle again we were homeless for 3 years already and he just ran off, huh! guess I was dumb for letting heim come back in the first place, but when you have been withthe same person your whole life that's a strong bond to that person we have been together for 20+ years wish Iknew what to do talking just ain't getting it....

God children????

I am a litte blue today my god daughter says that her family really doesn't know her??? and from what we found out this am we really don't how can someone so young hide thmselves from the people who love her the most?? she is so young and has done so many sneaky things she thinks no one loves her yet she is given all the opportunities in the world she has more than your average teen would even dream of yet she is sending nude photos of herself to people on the internet, that is so crazy doesn't she understand that she has to live with what she put out there once it's there everyone will see it... then she lies about it has fits, throws tantrums and wants to fight almost like she is two different people and the only reason her mom found out about this is because her grades started slipping and she took her Ipod touch, so as a warning parents monitor you childrens computer, internet, cellphone anything electrical activities because they could be putting themselves in harms way in the worse way... bye for now L

Well it's over

Hello all Ireally don't know who is still using there blog but I am going to vent and if you wanrt to read youcan...
Well I guess I did not do as great a job as I wanted to in my A&P 1 class but I did not fail Ithink that it was kind of hard tryint to get two 7 - 10 page papers ready at the same time but I did get through most of it whew!!!!

And then there is my 18tearold who is now feeling himself and getting into more trouble than I feel I can handle he doesn't understand that if he keeps this up he will be on his own whenyour friends get into more trouble than the law should alow then you would think that common sense would kick in and tell him that being homeless is not something that he would want for himself, but oh no his friends are the best thing for him and they all make sure he is okay...... that is til you need somewhere to live and their parents don't want to take on the responsibility of a loser kid/grown up who couldn't hack it with his own parents. Anyway if there are any mothers out there dealing with there older teen children please answer me or at least give me some typw of idea of where to turn to.

Unit 8

Discuss any issues you have had throughout the process.
• How do you feel about the comments, or lack of comments, that have been made to your blog posts?
• Do you plan to continue your blog even after the course?


I thought at one point that I loveed to write but taking this course has made me wonder if writing to express myself is something that I would do all the time? I still enjoy writing, it makes me feel better when I get it out and I have also learned that I enjoy having a blog!!! something that I did not think I would enjoy. The only trouble I had with writitng this paper was findinf a topic and making it persuasive , I thank Professor Butler for her positive feedback on my paper and I hope that I write a great final paper for this class.

I know sometimes peoples lives are busy and I don't mind if my blogs don't get a response I know that I put them out there for anyone to read and Iam ok with that, as far as continuing to blog after this class......... I think I will Ireally enjoy venting to no one in particular.

I am so stuck.....

Well I thought that I liked dto write until this assignment came into my life I don't know why I am having such a hard time writing this paper all I had to do was pick a topic, research it, take a stand and then write.... usually writing is so easy for me all I have learned this week is that my new topic makes me angry how can so many mothers be so irresponsible? I mean ok I get it alot of people drink but when youfind out that you are pregnant common sense should say ok drinking bad idea, right? but no some women continue to drink and then they want to blame the doctors when there children are born and there not that all too beautiful baby that should have been. That is so sad to me then they don't want them or they don't have the time and patience to deal with what they created so they place the burden on someone else (their parents) I did learn something not all children are born with the physical deformities of FAS ( fetal alcohol syndrom) some of the symtoms manifest as the child grows and shows up as agression, hyperactivity,behavioral problems what new parents determine as ther kid having ADD/ADHD it's a very interesting topic I give it that I just hope that I am giving it the right spin it needs to sell my opinion. bye for now L

unit 6

Hello class mates and all who read this I am in sort of a delimma, I like the topic that I chose for my final project but can't seem to grasp the concept of a persuasive essay. hmmm so I have decided to try another topic I looked throughthe ones the professor had available and thought that I would try Fetal alcohol syndrome now I have ben trying to research as much as I can to pull a paper together in the few short days that I have left good thing it's only a rough draft so I can aford to make the mistakes of a draft then go back and polish it up in the end.

Thesis statement:Fetal alcohol syndrome the effects on parents, grandparents and teachers.
If anyone has something to say or offer to aid in my decision please do.

Unit 5 blog

Hey y'all my personal writing choice is freewriting, the reason I like this style is ecause it's free there is nothing that you can do wrong it is all yours no rules to follow just the ability to say what you like without being judged.

As far as my academics the only challenges that I find myself having is time it's getting harder now to find time to do my school work and study, be a mom, wife, friend, nurse, counselor oh and an ATM!!! (lol just to my son) it's beginningto get a little stressful since I don't have time for myself anymore I am beginning to miss things because I am so tired all the time, but I will graduate and I am proud of myself for taking this journey of self improvement so I will continue until I find my calm. As far as influencing my life I know that something good will come at the end of this so that's what Iam rooting for.

Unit 4 blog

I think of plagiarism as stealing and if you can goto jail for robbing a bank there should be a penalty for stealing someones hard work, just imagine the time and effort it takes to com up with original ideas then someone just walks away with all the fame without putting in any of the work. Come on people youlike it when someone gives you praise for a job well done then you should do the same for others hard work, they desreve it.

I don't know what I would do if someone stole my idea I do know that I would never shut up about it everyone would know that whom ever it was that stole my idea was a thief.

So just give proper credit to those whos hard work has helped you along in your academic or professional life there not asking much just o be recognized for there time and work.

Unit 3 blog

Hello all this is the reason why I chose to be an online student my two are a very important me and having plenty of time for them is a must I started to go through online school at Kaplan about a year ago an ddecided that maybe a traditional classroom would be easier for me so I did not proceed and ended up not going to school period, this way is more convienient for me because its at my own pace and I have grown to love it. Some people would say that it is easier but I don't see it that way, I mean you have certain tasks that have to be met just as traditional schools do. And besides I was the student who sat in the back of the class hoping not to be noticed or called upon anyways. so this is much better I feel as if we are all equal and we are all learning at the same time the same way.

A new year

How can so many bad things happen in such a short amont of time? I thought new year huh new attitude guess I really didn't count on all the old things that bring right back to where you were in the first place. So I guess I need no I must develope a new attitude towards the old things to make them better this time around . Just venting and had no one I really wanted to talk to so I thought that I would tell you.
