Child of the 90’s // Good Ol’ Days

1985!!!!

if you’re under the age of 11 or 12…you shouldn’t even read this,
and if you do, you should not repost this.

Just because you were born in ‘97 doesn’t mean you’re a 90’s kid.

It’s not like you could remember the original Simpsons.
I am sorry but three conscious years of the 90’s just wont cut it.

You’re a 90’s kid if:

-Step by Step
-Family Matters
-Dinosaurs
-Boy Meets World

You remember when it was actually worth getting up early
on a Saturday to watch cartoons.

You remember reading “Goosebumps”

You still get the urge to say “NOT” after (almost) every sentence . . . not

You remember Ring Pops.

If you remember when every thing was “da BOMB!”

You remember boom boxes .vs. cd players. ( DAMN THAZ OLD SCHOOL, NOW WE GOT IPODS LOL)

You played and/or collected “Pogs”

You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet, or Nano and brought it everywhere.

-Rocket Power.

All your school supplies were “Lisa Frank” brand.

You collected those Beanie Babies.

Carebears

Lambchop’s song never ended.

Silver dollars, which were cool to have.

Everyone watched the WB.

If you even know what an original walkman is.

You know the Macarena by heart.

“Talk to the hand” . . . enough said

You went to McDonald’s to play in the playplace.

You remember playing on merry go rounds at the playground.

Before the MySpace frenzy . . .
Before the Internet & text messaging . . .
Before Sidekicks & iPods . . .
Before PlayStation3 or X-BOX 360 . . .
Before Spongebob . . .
Before Tupac was shot.
When light up sneakers were cool.
When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.

When gas was $0.95 a gallon.( HELL YEA IT WAS)
When we recorded stuff on VCRs.
You had slap bracelets!
You Actually played outside until it was dark!

Way back.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear.

 I hope this made someone smile!!!

I love this feeling!

The feeling of accomplishment. I love it. I feel great when I get things done. It’s just an all over wonderful feeling. I folded the laundry I’ve been putting off. I moved the kitchen table and the dishwasher (yes it is portable) into another spot. This way, it’s easier for Zach to sit in a chair at the table and NOT get into everything else around. I washed windows. I cleaned up his room and moved boxes into our spare room (that I had packed with picture albums) and the extra matress into the spare room. Time for Zach to learn to go to sleep himself in his own bed. Yeah, still working on that, obviously. I have candles lit, I sprayed air freshener. I love good smells like that. I am going to load the dishwasher once we get back from our walk. So I also put all the clothes away and moved Zach’s dresser actually into his room. I just need to move my other dresser upstairs.. but I need Chris and Perry for that. Hahaha. I love men. Anyways.. it’s so nice. Almost 60 out! I wanted to go to the park.. but honestly don’t feel like driving to go to the park. So I’m thinking we’re going to take a walk. I’m going to have to take the stroller, but we’re going to take a walk to the mail box. Just me and the spawn. Hahaha.

About 16 days til my baby is 3. Is he still technically a baby anymore? I miss holding his newborn little body in my arms… I miss dressing him, and holding him and feeding him.. I even miss the 2am feedings. It’s so sad. I want another baby but not want one.. if ya know what I mean. He says to me today “What, Mommy? I can’t be getting up like this.”

He gives eskimo kisses. He gives high fives. He gives thumbs up. He gives the best hugs and kisses I’ve ever known.

Disfunctional

People talk about disfunctional families. I do. I even have one though. That’s because nobody is normal. I really believe that’s what it is. I mean, I am a single mother and have two children.. but only have one. My “Aunt” (who is just a good friend of the family, technically) and her Partner have my daughter. I live with my mother, who is single.. not by choice. I have a boyfriend who is a bit older than me, which I don’t mind at all,(age is just a number!) but who is awesome to me and my son and has really done more for my son than his own father. His father, who didn’t call for a year and then called one day and then disappeared again. And is gone now, as far as I know.. probably back in jail. And then my daughter’s father who.. also.. is in jail. Yet refuses to sign his rights over. So we’re waiting on that. Anyways.. I told my mom one day, “How do you think it sounds to other people, Zach saying ‘I want to go to Aunt Debi & Beth’s house and see my sister’.” Cause I mean.. that’s gotta be some shit when ya hear it out loud!

Anyways.. this post isn’t even about my family. This post is about my son’s father’s family. They are all in their 30’s… 3 boys and one girl. They have ‘issues’ with each other, they run “Mami!!!” to their mother. Yes, adults, in their 30’s. I don’t even do this anyways. The girl.. Bangie.. is the only one that says that my son is not Luis’s son. Yeah, nothing to do with this really.. but she’s the only one I don’t get along with. Okay, whatever. She also.. has 2 kids by 2 different fathers, is married to a different man… and they cheat on each other constantly. Well I talk to him, am cool with him… he tells me today they are seperated now. Bangie has a new man and is moving herself and her kids to Texas with this dude, they’re getting a divorce. He proceeds to ask me am I single.. I tell him no.. he says that’s ok, I can still “do me” cause what the guy don’t know won’t hurt him… Yeah. Then asks me when am I going to ATown again. HAAHAHAHAHA.

That family? They make my family shine.

Okay so..

Yeah. The other blog didn’t work out. So I posted what I posted there. A whole 2 blogs. Wow. Big deal right? Yeah. Not.

So I got a car. There’s a start! A Saturn. Nice, pretty, silver, great on gas, decent mileage, and the payments aren’t bad either. 

Yesterday I went for the first part of my GED test. It wasn’t too hard. I just hope the second part is okay like that. Yesterday was Mathematics and Language Arts/Writing. So that was fine for me. Next is Science, Social Studies and Language Arts/Reading. Ehh.. the Science may be kinda hard. But wish me luck.

Zach’s birthday is coming soon. Yay!! I’m so excited for his party..lol. That’s sad, right. I’m more excited than him.

I think one of these days.. I’m going to take a picture day of my life and blog about it. It just seems like something good. And I’m kinda looking forward to it.

So I got a raise at work. I’m making pretty good money. Trying to get Perry a job there as well.

Anyways.. not too much more to write about. Actually nothing. So I’m going to go and update myself on other people’s lives.

Oh yeah.. things with Chris? Are still freaking awesome. I’m in love.

Sperm Donors and Radar

Sperm Donors and Radars

Luis called my house last night. Now what? I don’t get it because he hasn’t called here since last year when he got out of jail. Last April. And he’s seen Zach once, which was in April. Everything passed since then. Even Christmas! So this month is his birthday and he calls. I just don’t get it. I don’t know what he wants and why he’s trying to call now. Over the summer he told Sarah that I changed my phone number so he couldn’t call. So how is he calling now? I think he has a radar… and right now it’s flashing and saying “ALERT! ALERT! KASEY’S HAPPY! MUST RUIN!” So then he tries to come back into our lives. He has no rights here anymore. Zach is not HIS son. Zach is MY son. I raise him myself. With no help from him at all. Not at all!! It’s sad.. Chris has done more for my son than his ‘father’ ever has. How bad is that!! All I can say is I’m not going to allow him to pop in and out of my son’s life. It’s now and get in, or never and stay out. That’s all there is to it. I’m not playing games! I’m just not doing it. Somehow.. I think it’s all connected. Between XC and him. I believe it’s connected. There’s something up, I can just feel it. And I don’t like it.

Other than this.. Zach is doing great. I’m a bit stressed, but he’s doing good. He’s so smart and I’m so proud and nobody but me can take credit for this. THAT is the best thing about being a single mother. It’s all from YOU. Nobody else. My son will grow to be a wonderful man, he will treat women the right way, and he will make something of himself. (And he gets that from me.)

Last Week Of February

Monday, February 25, 2008

Woohoo! I guess I’m glad? I can’t believe months are flying by. It’s like life is just going fast! Zach will be 3 next month.. oh my god. I can’t believe it. I’ve had a child for 3 WHOLE YEARS!
So I just recently decided I’m not moving out until next year, or by next year. I need to go to college. I’m going to do online courses. And I’m really going to do it this time, not just talk about it. I want to do it. And then honestly, I want to go somewhere other than here. I want to move to a city. I want to be able to start fresh with nobody knowing my past. I’m looking forward to it. Anyway, on this subject.. I moved my bedroom upstairs to the loft. Zach now has his own room with his own tv and his toybox and all his trucks and his car rug on the floor. He loves it. I love it more I think! Haha. I am so glad to have my own room again! Yay. So that’s that.
Now.. the boyfriend. I’m happy and that’s all there is to that! He is just a wonderful guy and in all honesty I am just sooo happy I found him. I never thought all this would be happening, but I’m glad it did. I do believe I love him! And he said something about “those 3 sweet but scary words”… hmmm. Like I don’t know what that is. Hah. But I’m loving it!Easter is coming next month already. Well, first St. Patty’s Day. I’m going to the parade, like I did last year. Taking Zach of course. Maybe Chris will go with us? Who knows yet. And I think Sarah and Kaitie are going as well. It should be fun! I’m looking forward to it. Okay and then Easter. I can’t believe it is at the end of March. It’s even BEFORE Zach’s birthday! That’s so dumb. But I am excited! I want to make the Easter basket and then we’re going to do an egg hunt (me and Sarah and the kids, and Chris) and I’m just looking forward to everything! I love the holidays and having a child. It makes it all worth it! And seriously, the fact that Chris is excited about it too? That’s awesome.

Zach’s birthday party is going to be April 6th hopefully from 1-3pm at The Imagination Zone. I’m looking forward to that too! I can’t wait. I have all the people down I’m going to invite. I can’t wait to do the goodie bags and fill out invitations and all that stuff. I’m excited!! What else can I say. (Is that sad? I’m more excited than my kid!) Hah.

So that’s all for now. I don’t know what else to write.

I MADE A NEW BLOGGGGGG!!!!

All in all…

R.I.P. Aunt Mary. I love you and I will miss you.

At the funeral, I was thinking.. there’s only 4 of them left. And my poor grandmother.. I ache for her. I can’t even imagine how she must feel. Losing her husband years ago, my uncle (her son-in-law of YEARS), her son (my own father), her sister, and now her oldest child..and only daughter. How horrible that must be. If anyone really does read my blog, please give a prayer for her. She is truly a strong woman.. and still as loving and giving as ever. She is my hero.

Now.. Moving time is coming closer. I am getting nervous, about being able to do everything on my own. I have faith in myself.. I believe I can do it. But there’s just so many things I worry about. Like my legal “issues”… I don’t want any of that to get screwed up. I’m scared to death of that. I’m scared of losing everything, especially when I really am doing good. I am doing everything right. I am trying to get things going for myself… and mostly, for my son. I want to go back to school. And I can’t wait to do it. I want to be the person, the woman, and the mother I know I can be. I want to do what I know I am capable of. And I look forward to it.

Now.. for The Dude. Chris. Every time I see him, feelings get stronger. I don’t even know, I don’t know if it’s right or not. If I should feel like this.. if he feels the same way or not. I think he does. I am pretty damn sure he does. Honestly, all I know now, is that he has me hooked. I don’t even THINK of other guys while I have him. And it’s not all about sex, either. That’s the best thing about it. We have a real relationship.. something real and wonderful going on. He’s so great to Zach. He’s just so awesome all together. I believe I love him. I really, really think I do. Isn’t that what love is? Not being able to get someone out of your mind?

If you can’t get someone out of your mind, maybe they’re supposed to be there.

So maybe life is finally going right. Maybe I’m not such a screw up. Maybe things will go right. Either way, I’ve made mistakes and I’m trying to get past them. I will be the first to admit I am not perfect. Extremely far from it, actually. But I am trying. Trying very hard, too. I’m sure I’ll make more mistakes, hopefully never like the past, but I know I’ll get through them too. I have faith in me.

Moving BECAUSE..

I am moving because I am better than this. People don’t know the true story so they make things up. This is the definition of bullshit, stupidity and ignorance. In a way, I think it’s funny.. because I don’t talk to half the people who have my name in their mouths. I love it.

I was told last night… “When they stop talking about you, that’s when you need to worry.”

So I guess.. no worries for me! Hahaha.

I have everything going for me. Everything. I’m getting my car, I’m getting out of here, I’m starting over fresh, my bid is almost done!!, my son is the smartest little boy in the world, I’m going back to school, I am happy with myself, and to top it off.. my boyfriend is in love with me.

I’ll miss a couple people, but those are people I can stay in touch with. And honestly, if you don’t bring anything good with you.. and you are not somebody I can look up to… why bother with you? I’m not going to drag myself down to anybody’s level anymore. So let’s see what rumors come about this week when I don’t speak to anybody.

I hope they’re good!!

….

Again.. HE LOVES ME. How ’bout that shit, bitches? Eat it up. I am in love and I am happy with my life and my family.  Nobody can ruin it. I promise.

Moving Out

Okay so I’ve decided now for sure I am moving out. I need to get out of here. And I have a place and all that stuff lined up. I want to try to get a job lined up before I go.. if not, I’ll just have to go back and forth to my job here until I can get one set up. I want to try to get daycare and all that, if not Hollie said she’ll watch Zach. I’m just sick of this place and arguments and bullshit and want to go somewhere new, where nobody knows me. I’ll be fine, I have faith in myself and that I can do it. I know I’ll be okay.

I have to do this.. for myself.
