So last week we went to Oklahoma, it was a really good trip. So very tiring. I swear I didn't sleep more than a couple of hours at a time all week. I was able to meet so many wonderful family members. I met my uncle John in person and he looks and acts just like Dad. well John had a job until he was laid off. But they stand the same, fix their hair the same laugh the same and so on. It was such a blast from the past. and it makes me miss dad that much more. the kids all got along GREAT and I realized that I want to live closer to family. Not really Oklahoma mainly because of HIGH humidity, scorpions, tarantulas, tornados, and two in long red hornets. fucking HUGE ASS hornets. so ya that's just a few reasons not to move there. however, I have once again been looking at Oregon it's closer, and less scary ass bugs. My cousin, her kids and two of my aunts are there. I would have family near and maybe that empty feeling of something missing will be a little less. I would however really miss the ferret shelter. Ya know Ihave an amazing family. One of my cousins drove 4 hours round trip to get us from the airport. One Aunt made necklaces, and another makes really neat hand bags.they are such a great group of people.
In other aspects of life a long time friend of mine ended up in jail. she tried to kill her child she told her she wished he had died. I have decided I can no longer keep that friendship. Not that I can tell her because she is in jail and I won't put money on any cards to talk to her but eventually I will have to say it to her. I simply can't imagine saying that to my child no matter how much of a pain in the ass she is being.
In yet other news, I have a steady spot at a school until the end of the school year. so that is good news. I enjoy what I do but I am ready to go back to school and continue on with my education and life. in that aspect mom is trying to find a house we can all live in together forever. yaaaa no. I really do want my own place again I miss having my own place. because of shit like we are paying ALL the house hold bills and all she pays the house payment. hell she hasn't bought dog food since she has been driving local. well until yesterday when she decided that a 4 pound bad was a sutable contribution. seriously it pissed me off. either way here are some pictures from the trip. never mind picture later it's being a pain in the ass.

I am still working with third graders and I enjoy it. I find them entertaining, but I am not sure I want to be a teacher. hell for that matter I'm not sure what I want to be.
Ally has been doing better, her fits are less and she is easier to calm down I have found that a lack of sugar makes it so much easier for her to deal with her day to day activities. I took Tiger in for his recheck today and the vet was thrilled with how great he looks. he has gained 2.5 pounds and no longer looks like I starve him.
In three weeks we will be going to Tulsa. I am scared to say the least, I don't want to leave my pets but it is a trip I am excited to take. I have 2 friends willing to care for them. then there is the travel. I chose book our flights way early in the morning. we leave here at 6 am. which means we have to be at the airport at 4 am. then we don't get home until 11 on friday the 12th. it will be a long week but worth it. I have a cousin willing to pick us up in Oklahoma city and then take us back when it's time to go. It's a 2 hour drive so I appreciate that. I am not happy about flying but the alternative is 3 days in the car with ally and her energy. with 3 days there and 3 days back we would only have 1 day to visit. so we fly. I swear the stress from figuring out how to pay for the trip, pay our bills and the flying is going to give me an ulcer. ugh. either way life is life and I swear i will live.

gabrielleabelle at Mississippi Personhood AmendmentOkay, so I don't usually do this, but this is an issue near and dear to me and this is getting very little no attention in the mainstream media.
Mississippi is voting on November 8th on whether to pass Amendment 26, the "Personhood Amendment". This amendment would grant fertilized eggs and fetuses personhood status.
Putting aside the contentious issue of abortion, this would effectively outlaw birth control and criminalize women who have miscarriages. This is not a good thing.
Jackson Women's Health Organization is the only place women can get abortions in the entire state, and they are trying to launch a grassroots movement against this amendment. This doesn't just apply to Mississippi, though, as Personhood USA, the group that introduced this amendment, is trying to introduce identical amendments in all 50 states.
What's more, in Mississippi, this amendment is expected to pass. It even has Mississippi Democrats, including the Attorney General, Jim Hood, backing it.
The reason I'm posting this here is because I made a meager donation to the Jackson Women's Health Organization this morning, and I received a personal email back hours later - on a Sunday - thanking me and noting that I'm one of the first "outside" people to contribute.
So if you sometimes pass on political action because you figure that enough other people will do something to make a difference, make an exception on this one. My RSS reader is near silent on this amendment. I only found out about it through a feminist blog. The mainstream media is not reporting on it.
If there is ever a time to donate or send a letter in protest, this would be it.
What to do?
- Read up on it. Wake Up, Mississippi is the home of the grassroots effort to fight this amendment. Daily Kos also has a thorough story on it.
- If you can afford it, you can donate at the site's link.
- You can contact the Democratic National Committee to see why more of our representatives aren't speaking out against this.
- Like this Facebook page to help spread awareness.

SANTA FE, N.M. – A 21-year-old man was accused of driving drunk and leading police on a chase that finally ended with him running over himself. The man was treated for minor injuries at a Santa Fe hospital and booked in to the Sandoval County detention center on charges of aggravated driving while intoxicated, fleeing a police officer, careless driving and two other outstanding traffic warrants.
A tip to the state's DrunkBuster hot line Sunday afternoon alerted authorities to a possibly drunken driver.
State Police Officer Grace Romero spotted the man's pickup truck swerving across both lanes of a highway, driving slowly and then fast. He refused to stop.
After narrowly missing other vehicles, police said the suspect drove through a ditch and a barbed-wire fence before stopping. He tried to put the truck into park, but it ended up in reverse.
Police said the man fell from his open door and both of his legs were run over by the front driver's side tire.
