EXCITING NEWS

So Brian and I FINALLY took the plunge...into college that is. We are enrolled, have our classes scheduled, and we officially start on the 6th. I am going for my bachelors in psychology and masters in counseling. Brian is going for his bachelors in computer network administrating. We are both very nervous, but also very excited. We are going to do school online at the University of Pheonix (it is accredited and actually one of the top online schools).

Everything is done, financing, scheduling, EVERYTHING. Wow, I am so excited. Just think, in 4 years we will be completely different people. We will have financial security and have careers that we are happy to go to everyday. HOORAY!

New Tattoo's

So I have my first (and last) tattoo. My foot hurts :( lol. I think they turned out pretty cute. What do you think? Emma was getting jealous of my tattoo so we deceided to get her one of her own. She loves her new tatt, and I love mine as well.

Rehab

We are in the process of getting my mom to go directly to a rehab from the hospital. It is a lot of work, and I didn't get any sleep last night. I have been really stressed and keeping myself busy with researching rehab facilities in washington state.

AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

My stomache hurts...its all twisted up. This always happens to me whenever I am really stressed out. I feel like I am going to throw up. UUUUHHHH!

I received a call from my baby sister yesterday. She said that when she woke up she saw mom hunched over on a chair, and she couldn't speak. Roni called the hospital, they sent an ambulance.

When they arrived at the hospital, they ran some tests. One of the test came back positive for drug overdose. My mom took too many of her anti-anxiety pills. The doctors are trying to determine if it was intentional or accidental. My mom is slipping in a coma. I talked to her yesterday, for a little over a minute. She told me how much she loves me, and I guess that was the longest conversation she had all day yesterday.

They did a spinal tap last night. I think they are going to do some brain scans today, to see if she has any permanent damage. Right now, she is barely hanging on. I don't know if she is going to make it. I need to be there with her. The passes were closed last night for avalanche control. Hopefully Brian can get someone to cover his shift, so we can leave....

....I am freaking out. I am planning an intervention for her, once she is out of the hospital. Most of the family is going to attend.

Please send me your prayers, Pray that she will survive and pray that this was the thing that needed to happen to change her lifestyle.

I am so scared that I am going to lose my mom. April 10th will be 11 years since my dad died. I am so sad. I am also angry. How can she accidentally take so many pills? I love her so much, and I pray that she will be okay.

Picking perfume

Emma wanted to wear one of my perfumes. She took her time, and picked out Spotlight. MMMMM. That stuff smells so good. Its Courteney Cox's perfume, exclusively at Avon. Then she found her favorite blankets and we watched 500 episodes of spongebob.

Me time....

I have been so completely busy with Avon, Emma's preschool schedule, Brian's new sucky work schedule, planning a girls tattoo night, my phone is always ringing, paying off an endless pile of doctor bills, and attempting to give myself a pedicure, all while checking email and writing a blog.

I have had so much fun in the last month. I am so happy, exhausted, but truly happy. I feel like I finally have things in my life, that are just for me. I am making so many new friends. I also have been bonding with my true friends.

At the end of the month I am hosting a girls night. Me and my girlies are getting the same tattoo (that we have designed together) put onto our right foot. I am a tattoo virgin. It is going to be a fun bonding experience. I am not a fan of pain, but I think I will be able to deal with it...maybe.

Brian has agreed to take care of all of us when we are done with our tattoos. So far it is going to be me, Roni, Jami and Rose. He has the important duty of fluffing pillows, renting movies, and getting us take-out.

I am really looking forward to this.

4th Anniversary

Tomarrow will be our 4 year anniversary. Wow! Brian works all day today, and I work all day tomarrow. So I decided to drop off some pizza to Hollywood Video, and we had a pizza party. I can't believe that it has been four years since our first date. It kinda feels like it has been 10 years...is that a good thing??? lol. In April, we will have been married for 2 years.
