Tell about your favorite Aunt...

My favorite Aunt is my Aunt Grace. I use to go to her house when I was little all the time. She lived right next door and still does...We always did fun things together like pick figs and make fig preserves and whatever other fruit/veggies she had going on at the time. We planted flowers together. I remember this one time we sewed this mattress cover that kept slipping off the mattress with all different kinds and colors of yarn from side to side to keep the cover on the mattress. We baked biscuits together my favorite part was sifting the flour. We painted this picket fence she had on the side of the house a hundred times or more. She always had snacks for me that she kept in this ceramic duck that sat on her counter by the back door. She always had plenty of little Debi's with the raisins on top and creme in the middle. We use to bathe and brush her dog she had named Prissie. She always fed Prissie boiled Chicken. We use to do everything together. We made crafts together...If I wasn't at home with Nana and Papa I was at Aunt Grace's.

Random Stuff

As most of you have already figured out I'm not that great with keeping up with this blog stuff. So I have came to the conclusion wit the help of a very wise friend to just pick a prompt and just BLOG it!! She also said something that made me feel really good..she said if you wrote on your blogs like you talked or told a story then your blog would be awesome and when you are telling a story it kinda takes you there. (Thanks Kimmie)...So here it goes...this prompt is: Did you you go to college or take any special vocational training?? Well actually I did start college in 2002. I started my pre-req's for the nursing program. I started with a math class and an anatomy class. I finished the math class and ended up dropping the anatomy class early on. It was a lot all at once. Nicholas was just about 6 months old when I decided to start college. I felt very overwhelmed like I was Mommy, Wife, Friend, Ect....everyone but me, with school and life and everything else it left me no time for me. That meant no time to Scrap (Oh my gosh is what you are thinking right about now right??) That's what I wast thinking too...So I decided to just keep working at Eastern Imports for the time being. In 2007 I decided to train to drive a bus of all things was I crazy or what?? I finished all my hours and got my class B CDL's and I was off to drive the big yellow 65 foot bird. That certainly was an experience in itself to say the least. I worked that 2007-2008 school year all of about uhhhh 1/2 a day, the route I had was a nightmare. So I cried alot and decided to quit. I tried driving a bus again for the 2008-2009 school year and lasted a whopping 4 months. I loved the route, driving the bus was a piece of cake the hours and pay were great but.....3 kids I could have killed them not really but If i was crazy I could have...I got no help from the school and transportation. So, I decided that the best thing for me and my little family was to once again quit driving the bus. Write ya next time!!
