Thinking About Football Camp

The Majestics are having a camp and those who are good at the end get to play in pro-womens football. I think it would be fun and I would have a chance to get my fustrations out. I am just going to look into it. It only cost $50 which is great! Low price and for the fun not for to join the team. If I happen to get accepted great if not that fine with me.

They have women of all sizes and ages in the previous camps so that great to. I am on the bigger size so at first was not sure but, after looking through the site it looks okay. Now I just have to talk with my partner on this one. He will tell me I am crazy lol.

I Am Not Going To Be A Statistic

Today I took one step closer to make a better life for myself. I sent in an application to go to school at Green River Community College. I am so excited about this and will be going to an orientation later next week and finish feeling out the second portion of the paper work.

I do not know what I am going to be but, know it is going to be better than what I am doing right now; nothing. School starts on Jan. 5th but, in the mean time I am hoping to find a seasonal position to help with paying rent and buying the littles ones Christmas gifts.

I want to think all who have inspired me to go beyond what I am doing. You guys are awsome!

I Wish I Could Go To School

Today I was looking through Facebook at all my former classmates from Franklin H.S. I noticed that most of them are going to be graduating in 2011. Great for them but, sad for me. How I wish I could go the school and further my education. I would give anything just to be able to have a degree on hand. I really feel like such a failure to myself. Granted I am only 21 years of age and still have time left but, right now I am doing nothing for myself.

It sounds so easy just to go enroll in a college but, I don't have the funds. Yes, there is financial aid and that alone is limited. I really messed up my credit so I can not get a student loan. I am basically stuck in a rutt and it sucks. I just want to be able to provide and be financially stable. I am not even close to that right now. I would be lucky to make $12 an hours.

What I would like to be is a nurse. There is alway a high demand and the money is good.

Relactating - A Fight Tell The Finish

I am in the process of relactating for my 6 month old. I was lazy and gave up on it now, I want to breastfeed again. Honestly formula is too damn expensive at $200 or more a month. My little guy will not even take the jar food or cereals so he eats more formula. However breast milk or formula is all they need for the first year.

On Monday evening is when I began my misson and there is no sign of milk just, sore nipples. I have been told and heard it takes about 2 weeks for anything to happen and a month for it to come in full. I just wish it was easier than that. I will be honest I am starting to get discouraged. However, that does not mean I am giving up that easy.

I am currently using a Medela double pump every 2 hours. I also have one of those Medela manual pumps I take with me. For aide in my mission I have fenugreek and domperidone (thanks to a kind mom). I take three domperidone and 6 fenugreek daily.

Did you know, you can produce breast milk without every being pregnant. This is very true women whom adopt or want to build a milk supply for whatever reason do this often. While it does take much longer and more time than those who have had children.

I will keep everyone posted on my mission to relactate.

New Photos Of My Little Model - Lily & Chris

I have a love for photography. If only I had a professional camera, I could take that love to the next level. Right now I am working with a Sony Cyber Shot. My favorite photo editing software to work with is Corel Paint Shop Pro. Corel is just like Adobe but, easier to use and has more features. Maybe when income tax day comes I will get a new camera. I cross my fingers and hope.

Stop Driving & Talking On Your Cell Phone!

You are walking to the grocery store, with you child in a stroller. Suddenly, out of know where a person who is talking on the cell phone almost hits you and your child. Your heart beats fast and you almost don't know what to do.

This is what happen to me the other day. I was walking and a man came less the an inch to hitting my stroller. I was thinking what if he did not have good breaks, would my children and I still be alive? In the state of Washington cell phone use while driving is illegal but, people still do it any way. The other day while walking near Kent Meridian High School I counted how many people where using cell phones. There was a whopping 23 people on cell phones. I was counting for about 5 minutes.

I know one thing for sure. When someone calls my cell phone and I am driving I will not answer it because, I do not want to put other peoples life in danger. I also know that when I am talking on the phone it is harder for my to focus one what I am doing.

Do more and more people have to die to relize how dangerous this is?
