                <description><![CDATA[ lol...funny story!!<br /><br />So...I called to check on the status of the paperwork that I sent in applying for the apartment I mentioned in my last journal. They told me they denied me because of a "landlord/tenant action in 2007" Let me tell you about that first...I broke up with my daughters father in the summer of 07 and was left with the apartment ..and rent. Which I didn't have.And he was in no hurry to give me. I was an employed single mother living on state aid ...I had no money!!! and I kept getting these notices saying to pay the landlord $1027 ...ummm...no?? lol <br />So after me telling her I didn't have the money and my current situation. she then proceeded to try to bring me to court. luckily this was around income tax time and when I got my return I gave her the money...we never went to court or anything. Soooo...lol...when these people at this new place said that was effecting their decision I flipped out! I said " I paid her!" and she goes " yeah but usually when something goes to court..." I interrupted her with "It never went to court!"  " I'm sorry..I can't approve you..." she replied ...and I hung up...pissed off. and feeling a bit shitty that my past was holding my family back now...<br />but then I did research...and after stewing for a few mins...I called her back. I said these things...(in some order..probably not this one lol) <br />"I can't believe this ONE bad thing..which was RESOLVED is holding me back. Am I blacklisted forever or are you guys just super picky!? Does the fact that my husband ..the CO-APPLICANT has no bad anything on his record not count? How about that my current rent is up to date and that I am a good,quiet tenant and have never caused problems? Does that not help me? " So anyway....after ranting and raving and bitching to this lady for about 10 mins. She told me to provide proof of the payment to my old landlord and they might reconsider. I said "Alright" So I called my bank and got a copy of the check used to pay. I called the lady back in the morning and told her " I have a copy of the check. Does that help me?" and she "yes..I'm going to approve you. I hope I'm not making a mistake. " I said excitedly " no you're not! " and she said " our conversations were...pretty bad. You're really rude!" I laughed and apologized explaining that this is not my way usually I was only frustrated by this paid debt from 2 yrs ago! She said "bring me the copy and #2 is yours." <br />YAY! <br /><br />So...Now...I have to come up with this $945 for the first month and sec deposit. It's do-able. It's just going to be very tight while we are getting it together. I feel like a real bum though..I can't pay my rent here and save up to leave....w/e...when I move out of here I save the state money by not "living on tax payers dollars" So they can go screw! I have 3 weeks roughly to get my crap packed...<br /><br />I now make this puclic request to my sister <a href="http://dodo-butt.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/o/dodo-butt.gif" alt=":icondodo-butt:" title="dodo-butt"/></a> to come help me pack.Please? lol  She's so organized and just way better at this shit than I am lol.<br /><br />check out my Myspace for art <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.myspace.com/animeaganart">[link]</a> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I looked at an apartment on Thursday in Belmont...about 2 towns over. It's a 2 bedroom...which is what we have now...BUT there are few features about this apartment which makes it better than this one. <br />read my previous journal about this apartment <a href="http://raynah.deviantart.com/journal/21386609/">[link]</a> it describes this place and I manage to rant alot lol <br /><br />The place is Belmont is 2 level!! the bathroom is NOT in my bedroom and it a decent size. there is no sitting on the toilet and washing yours hands at the same time! <br />The two bedrooms are NOT connected!! meaning I don't have to worry about the baby waking Raynah up at 2am!<br />The kitchen actually fits a table and is big enough to have a normal sized stove in it. YES thats right my current apartment has a stove that you would put in an RV in it. AND its in a doorway of what USED to be a closet..meaning the stove is tipped and the food you're cooking falls to the back of the pan.<br />The kitchen also has a little pantry/closety thing. The living room is a tad smaller than what i have now..but its carpeted!!!! Right now I have dirty crappy unfinished wooden floors! there is a sliding glass door in the living room which leads out to a little porchy area...with has an area of grass around and and a little shed thing. which I am very excited about..my kid can go outside and play . Right now I am on a 3rd story tiny apartment. <br /><br />The best thing about this apartment is..it has its OWN entrance!! a little walkway area and shrubbery around the front door lol. making it homey...not cold and subsodized looking like this place. AND I CAN HAVE CATS!!!!! lol yay! and it has a dishwasher!! <br /><br />This apartment is a nice $745/mth all electric. I have called the electric company and gotten the average cost per month for the year. $30-$70. not bad eh? <br />this is the best part though lol. It's $199 to move in!! its some sort of move in special...I dunno. I have already been like " $199??? why?" i've investigated every reason WHY it could be so low...and I've looked at the place. asked about the electric heat...called the electric company... <br />I also have a friend who lives in one of these units who says its great! she loves it! so..<br /><br />I am waiting to hear back about it..and I'm super excited. Everyone cross your fingers for me!<br /><br />check out my Myspace for art <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.myspace.com/animeaganart">[link]</a> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yesterday my little girl celebrated her 4th birthday at the space center in Hooksett ,NH. There was cake,ice cream pizza, juice and soda, games,rides a 3 story playland thingy and presents!!! It was hellish to begin with...I invited 8 kids (8 was the limit for the price we paid) and 4 canceled!!! So I got "replacement" kids and two of them canceled the day of the party!! ughhh...and all the other cancellations were during the WEEK OF the party! <br />So I scrambled around trying to find kids to fill those 2 spots. everyone was busy....so we only had 6 guests lol...w/e I used the extra tokens and tickets and stuff for my kid since I had just about broke the bank paying for this thing! $219!!!!! And then we paid it and they say " this doesn't include the tip" WHAT?? They can go screw!  we didn't leave a tip!! I paid for a bunch of kids/parents to come in...then I'm sure they put their own money into the machines as well.AND a bunch of people bought pizzas! so like I bring them that much money and they can't include tip in the price?! My sister <a href="http://dodo-butt.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/o/dodo-butt.gif" alt=":icondodo-butt:" title="dodo-butt"/></a> cleaned up most of the mess and all they did was bring us the cake,ice cream and they brought ONE slice of pizza to the kids..EVEN THOUGH I asked her to bring 2! (that's what I paid for 2 slices per kid!) lol I guess I am just ranting because I feel bad for not tipping....but I couldn't afford it!! and tipping is not REQUIRED it is customary!!<br />So the party was a success even though so many rude assholes canceled on me.lol jk The ones who came had a blast ....so We'll all make sure to rub it in their faces next gathering we have lol<br />anyway...lol<br />if any of you are my friends on myspace you can check out the photos here : <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=35038730&albumId=3544441">[link]</a><br />if you aren't...add me!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />check out my Myspace for art <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.myspace.com/animeaganart">[link]</a> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Not sure if anybody really reads my journals...w/e I don't expect people to really care about what I have going on lol..but just in case....<br /><br />So today I had to bring Raynah to an appointment to be evaluated by Special Education and early childhood development people. This was set up because of her speech...her speech is a bit lacking and always has been. She always has a hard time with direction....I'm talking beyond the normal listening skills of a small child.<br />for instance if you were to ask her " Why did you do that?" she would not be able to answer you. She would most likely repeat you. lol She's always been very visual and today they confrimed what I pretty much knew all along..that she is a visual learner. I was the same when I was a kid. I preferred to be shown how to do things rather than told. <br /><br />They showed her pictures and asked her questions and she was doing so well until we got to a certain part. Then she was struggling. They asked her things like " what do you do when your hands are dirty?" and she looked at her hands like " are they dirty?" then said " noooo!!!! " laughing lol. She wouldn't tell them she had to wash them lol...even though she knows this...<br />And she just basically talked about w/e she wanted to talk about when asked a question. She pretty much blocks out all audio...lol and focuses on pictures.<br /><br />They told me that most kids are receptive and have trouble being expressive but my child is the other way around. <br />They told me to take their findings to a Dr. so they could refer me to a specialist. <br />They also said they think she could have P.D.D (Pervasive developmental disorder) Which is in the spectrum of Autism. There a few different types associated with this P.D.D Aspergers being one. My sister is an Aspie so it wouldn't surprise me if Raynah was. <br /><br />I always thought I'd be upset finding out something was holding her back...but really I feel relief that we are heading in the right direction!!!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Is anyone excited as I am!??!!<br /><br />I am counting down the days until May 8th!! I have been watching the trailers and I have one problem....<br />Zachary Quinto (playing young spock) looks like he may be bringing too much emotion to the character..I mean. He's a Vulcan and they're all about suppressing emotions. Spock IS indeed...half human...but I'm pretty sure he followed the Vulcan way. Now people are arguing with me on this saying "when Spock was young he didn't try to suppress emotions!" and since he is supposed to be young in this movie..that explains it...<br />I dunno...I'm not sure if I'm sold on that....ALSO..The actor playing Spock happens to be the Bad guy Sylar from the TV series "Heroes" Which I love..and it makes it hard for me to like him..when hes such an ass on Heroes. lol Thoughts on this? comments? lol <br /><br />Anyway.... other than that I am looking forward to seeing the movie. ONE Dilemma faces me though ...My 3 mth old baby...Since the 8th is  Friday I wont have my 3 yr old (she goes to her fathers) but I will still have the boy. and NOBODY babysits him yet. He's too young and he's breastfed....exclusively. <br />Sure,sure...someone could watch him for a few hours....but I don't want to let anybody watch him. I went to walmart for like 5 mins without him and I felt like...so naked lol. So I'm wondering if I can get away with bringing him into the theater with me?? The theater is BIG. It's like a restaurant with a huge movie screen..so you eat at huge tables and stuff...its not like row seating or anything. I have a nursing wrap to feed him. and he will sleep through most of it no doubt....but I'm afraid he start on a crying spree....and ruin the movie for people...I dunno..usually after 8 he's out for the night (or until 1 or 2am for a feeding) so I could see a showing around 8 or 9 ish! I dunno....thoughts,comments? lol<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The downstairs neighbor knocked on my door about 2 days ago...and told me she remembered me saying I wanted a cockateil. These are not cheap birds...lol. She said she would GIVE me hers and this giant cage....if I took the 3 parakeets that came with him. I already had one parakeet so I said why not. <br />None of them had names...lol So I had a field day trying to come up with names for the all. <br />I already had " Humma Kavula" so I named one of the parakeets "Zaphod Beeblebrox" those of you who like hitchhikers guide to the galaxy will get this reference lol <br />I think The Cockateil's name is Harvey lol We're not sure yet lol. The only girl in the cage is named Lady. lol I'm original I know. And there's this lime green one I'm not sure what to name him. I was thinking of calling him Icarus...anybody remember that story? <br />if anyone has suggestions for the birds names...I'm open to them lol.<br /><br /><br />heres pics of the birds : <br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk230/Fifi-Trixiblle/100_1186.jpg">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk230/Fifi-Trixiblle/100_1180.jpg">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I've enrolled my little Raynah in Dance classes called "inspired kids" at this little dance studio "dance inspirations" located right downstairs from our apartment. The classes out tap/ballet. She is too friggin' cute in her little leotard and ballet slipper. She had her first sorta "trial" class last tuesday to see how well she did and if she liked it. She LOVED it. Her next class is tomorrow and she is counting down the minutes. I want her to be a star lol....No but I seriously regret not getting involved in activities as a child...I have no real talents or special abilities. Yes, I can draw....fairly well...but can you imagine if I had lessons or something?...I might be a million times better...<br />I so badly wanted to be able to play an instrument..but I need to be shown how to do things and so does Raynah so I'm investing as much time/effort as possible into making sure she has options and skills. She has a natural ability to keep rhythm and she draws well for a 3 yr old. So we are just working on fine tuning these talents lol The next thing for her when we get more money is to get her in music lessons and/or singing lessons.<br /><br />Speaking of more money...lol...My husband, <a href="http://praised1.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/r/praised1.gif" alt=":iconpraised1:" title="praised1"/></a> got a new job. His orientation is on wednesday. He is an LNA taking care of the elderly. We both took the same LNA course...but women have the shit end of the stick...and I had to like...be pregnant...give birth and stay home with the baby...So I am not an ACTIVE LNA at the moment lol. The pay increase is a few dollars more an hour than what fucking Burger King pays. lol so we are ONE step closer to getting off of state aid. burger King wont let him have over time but this place doesn't care. So...that will be nice. They have benefits and everything!! things are going to get better hopefully. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My new baby is already 7 weeks old...I cannot believe it!! Even more unbelievable is my first baby is gonna be 4 in May!!! I'm only 21 lol. <br />Time flies...<br /><br />Anyway update on the baby:<br />He's doing well gaining weight. He gets his first immunizations next week. Anyone who has kids knows..this is AWFUL to witness. I cried when my daughter got hers...it made it worse that she was all happy ans smiling and stuff then they jabbed her with needles. I was pulling down Ryland's hat over his ears and I accidentally pinched his ear...oh man he CRIED...if he cried about that...imagine needles jabbed into flesh! lol It's necessary though. Which is argued alot in the parenting community. Some people say that immunizations are linked with autism and stuff....psssshhh. Medical Science is pretty reliable for the most part. And since I had mine and my daughter had hers...I see no reason not to have his. He's still breastfed,doing well. He's a pro. lol. He's graduated to a size 1 diaper..newborn still fits him but its just a little snug. He's in NB and 0-3 clothes. His eyes are slowly turning brown...from what was a VERY dark blue. Myself and Thaddeus have brown eyes. Raynah's father has green eyes and I have brown...and she got green eyes! Thanks Andrew...you made a crappy b/f...but Raynah got some sweet green eyes out of the deal! lol Heres a useless tidbit for ya... Did you know that green eyes are the MOST uncommon eye color in the world? Real green eyes. not hazel. It's true. And brown is the most common!! lol anyway....<br /><br />I could upload a new pic of the baby....that is....if anyone wants to see him? lol I haven't taken any real artsy ones of him but a few really cute ones!!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today I am going to be the proud subscriber to Metrocast cable....yes..cable. not your basic....not even extended basic...we're talkin' 170+ channels of mind rotting fun!!! wooo! I have only had once channel...for a long time. one channel..the crappy local channel lol. nothing but news and soaps. and Oprah...ughhh. but I will certainly enjoy having cable back...star trek..and all the kiddie shows for Raynah... yeaaaaaahhhhhh.... lol <br /><br />AND...yesterday...Thaddeus and I purchased a car. A used car...a little white 2000 Hyundai Accent...its so small...lol BUT...this means I do not have to depend on my in laws for rides anymore!!!<br />We have been without a car since August since our crappy Geo wouldn't pass inspection!! The nightmare is over. Do you know hoe much it sucked to have to be like " Call your mom Thaddeus...we need milk..." or " Raynah has a fever..call your mom we have to go to the dr" or the best one of them ALLLLL....... " I'm in labor Thaddeus...call your mom!!!!" lol. <br />Well...the nightmare wasn't over when we though it was...We bought the car on monday...and we drove it off the lot. and it died...like 2 mins down the road. seriously. We called them up from a payphone.  and bitched them out. they came and got us. brought the car back and fixed it. It was some sensor ...a crank sensor??? whatever the F that is lol ....anyway they fixed the car....apologized all over the place. and even brought the car to US lol instead of us having to go back to get it. The guy said it should be fixed but if we have any issues call him back....<br />Here's my thinking though....He fixed it for free...he would hardly sell a car knowing it was going to break down...if he intended to fix it for free...ya know? <br /><br />anyway...I finally paid off my ridiculously priced couch. It feels good to have things go good for once...ya know? it wont last though...the money will be gone soon. I have to spend my income tax on bills and junk...so lol.... Well paying off back balances gives me extra money eahc week...so there ya go....hence the cable lol .<br /><br />well the cable guy just got here..soooo ttyl!!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I know you're all dying to know what I've been up to....right? lol<br /><br />So besides becoming a mother times 2 I haven't been too too busy. Ryland keeps me busy enough and Raynah is being a big helper ( 3 yr old help isn't the most helpful lol) I spend most of my time breastfeeding a baby and taking care of a 3yr old. Also I spend a deal of time defending my decision to breastfeed....people look at as  "gross" or obscene...one question for those people....What do you think boobs are for? decoration? MEN? I think not...formula is way too expensive...and I can feed him for free!!! what would YOU choose!?!? lol <br />so...moving on...lol <br /><br />Thaddeus and I are very excited...tax time is the best time of the year!! Now that I'm an adult I look forward to my tax return...whereas when I was a child it was Christmas I looked forward too lol <br />After a big phone battle with my ex over who claims our daughter ( I won,I claimed her lol) We received a nice chunk (we will be receiving it on Friday anyway) more than we expected by a few thousand...GET MARRIED people it helps!!! lol SO...Friday we are going car shopping then we will finally have a vehicle and can resume our social lives yet again. I have SUCH bad cabin fever here all day lol....I also intend to pay off overdue bills....piece of mind is alot better than any material things I could buy lol. <br />I do intend to splurge and get cable..now that I wont be paying off back balances on bills I can afford cable...so no more ONE channel for us! Yes,one channel...it sucks SO bad....all news and Oprah and soaps....ughhh...<br />I will pay off my back rent,back electricity and I pay off my giant sectional couch...a $2,000 item of furniture...finally paid off..YES!!! <br />I'm excited about that....lol<br /><br />So it's been a while....what have YOU guys been up to? I know I could go read your journals....but they have all piled up in my absence lol â¥<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...but we'll see if he feels like being punctual....lol Only 5% of babies are born ON their due dates. My sister in law had hers on her due date...so you never know! lol teehheee!!! <br /><br />I don't know how many of you are actually reading these little updates of mine..but I figured I post this anyway...<br /><br />If the baby isn't born within a few days after my due date. I HAVE to have a repeat c-section. They do not induce women who have had c-sections in the past...due to increased risk for uterine rupture! scary....<br />The baby is guessed to be closer to 10lbs lol....no small fry!<br />When I had my daughter she was about 9lbs! So I'm seeing a pattern here lol I birth big babies! <br /><br />anyway...If the blessed event happens anytime soon I'll post a journal lol *crosses fingers*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ so now that the buzz of the holiday is over....I'm concentrating on one thing now. Getting this baby out of me!!! I'm 38 weeks,full term, with a baby that is estimated to weigh 8 1/2 lbs. I'm SO ready for this to be over. <br />Everyone keeps saying "Maybe you'll have a new years baby!!" heheheheee....funny. NOT lol. I don't a new years baby the same way I didn't want a Christmas baby lol I want a born TODAY baby lol jk...<br />I mean now that its safe for him to be born...and he's so huge...I'm doing everything I have found that will help induce labor "naturally" with the exception of Castor oil AND blue and black cohosh...I've been anemic so those are no no's.<br />They say "doing it" is the best way to induce labor. Man, I'm so not in the mood for that lol <br />I'm not sleeping...I have constant back aches...I'm moody as hell. not to mention the fact that I'm HUGE! I'm miserable. and people are like "enjoy these last few weeks,Meagan!!" No way! Whats to enjoy? I have heartburn 24/7 I can't even go sledding with my kid. My clothes don't fit. EVEN my maternity clothes are snug.I have to constantly check and make sure my gut isn't hanging out.. There's all this and the fact when I go out in public...I have to answer the SAME questions again and again and again!!! "You're STILL pregnant?" "How much longer?" "When are you due?" "do you know what you're having?" "are you sure you aren't having 2??" either from complete strangers OR people I haven't seen in a while....<br />I also get stares from people..I don't look old enough to have a 3 yr old. I'm 21...but people see me with a 3 yr old AND a pregnant gut and they are like "ewww..."<br />I can't even clean my house...its exhausting. I can't ask Thaddeus to do it..as he works all day...and I'm here all day...<br /><br />It's ALMOST over....ALMOST......lol....deep breathes...lol<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I got a letter and a check in the mail for $258.90 from the United States Court Settlement Administrator. It appears to be a real check..no "NOT A CHECK" written on it anywhere. It requires positive ID to cash it says on the back.<br />The letter explains that money was deducted from my account thru a telemarketing scandal. I vaguely remember speaking to the telemarketing company in question...<br />the details are too long to list here so here is the website given with the letter <a href="http://restitutionpayment.com/">[link]</a><br />The letter also gave a phone number. It says "please call if you have questions about the legitimacy of this check" I called it and listened to the automated message it explained that these people were being brought to court and when/where it was happening I could go if I wanted.<br />I do not have to call anyone..give any info to anyone....or do anything. it says "you should cash/deposit this check. the money is yours"<br />It also gives me a form to refund any bank fees incurred...which I'm not going to bother with.<br />On monday I'm going to bring it to my bank and verify it being a real check and all that....<br />I don't want to get excited ...as I'm having a really rough time with christmas and all....and this would be a real "christmas miracle" lol...so<br />What do you think? Do you think its real?<br />please go to the site....and read the details.<br />again the link is :<br /><a href="http://restitutionpayment.com/">[link]</a><br /><br />btw it says it was in 2006 in march...I don't recall the money being taken out. BUT it was right around the time I received my income tax check..and was making alot of purchases with my debit card...so thats why I might not have noticed.<br /><br />Also I'm thinking that if it was a scam...I would be asked to send the money somewhere else or deposit it. It says I can just cash the check. Also..a scam for a measly $200??? I dunno...help me out here...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So if you don't know what I'm talking about here's the first journal: <a href="http://raynah.deviantart.com/journal/21878131/">[link]</a><br /><br />So after reporting this to the police and the "Bureau of nuisance calls"...I was told that a police officer would call me back to give me the info I needed...the Bureau of nuisance calls told me to get the fax #,officer name,case number and all that good shit so they could fax the police the number that was traced and the police would handle it then. 2 days went by...with no word from the police. So I called this morning.... I had to like..drag it out of the police lol. So I got the info and called the bureau back and they said they were faxing the number to them....and a police officer would contact me....I'm doubtful about that since it was taking them days to get back to me. I live in a small hick town the crime can't be that high here...lol. I will have to call them no doubt.<br />I'm afraid that they wont tell me who it was! <br />So what do you think? Will it be out of line to DEMAND to know who the caller was? I mean..it was obviously someone that knew me.What if I see them on a daily basis? I would not want them in my house ever again or to have contact with them after all of the shit they said to me. I think I would have a right to know. ya know? lol <br />When/If I find out who it was...they are going to be in a world of hurt.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ so last night at 11:21pm,as I was sleeping (for once in this pregnancy) I was awoken by a phone call...a PRANK phone call no less. Like most cowardly prank phone callers they blocked their number. <br />I know that it had to be someone who knew me...and knew me well...which is very upsetting. They knew too much about me. They even used another friends name....<br /><br />and I apologize for the language I'm about to put in here...if you're offended by bad language..do not read any further<br />they told me that they saw me walking down the street that I'm so fucking huge (I'm 35 weeks pregnant..DUH!!!) AND They were tired of me using their tax payers dollars to sit on my fat ass all day. They told me to tell my fat ass husband to wrap it next time...so I don't have any more welfare babies. They called me an ugly cunt and said things like " what does your husband's jizz taste like? like herpes?" just for the record neither of us HAVE herpes! Then when I stooped to their level and began insulting back....they said that they could see me now and that they were coming to break all of my windows! I told them "There ARE ways to find out where this call came from!" they were "no there isn't you stupid bitch!" I asked them not to call back...and hung up. (see, I know what to do here.) After someone asks you not to call their home....and you do..it becomes a crime...without the threats that were made.  So they called back...bingo! I told them I would call the police and that I was turning on "anonymous call rejection"  they said that I was "No fun and a teller" <br />So I hung up and called the police...and reported it. <br />First thing this morning I called my phone company and got the number for "the bureau of nuisance calls" the number WAS tracked...they wont give it to me....but the police are going to contact the bureau and bring this fucker down!!! I intend to press charges if at all possible.<br />I mean...how fucking low do you have to be? calling and waking up my whole house and upsetting a heavily pregnant and emotional woman. <br /><br />Anyway....I know its just a prank phone call..but it REALLY pissed me off...<br />I didn't go overboard did I?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Why is it a small apartment gets dirty so fast? I mean...even if the 3 yr old isn't running around..it still manages to get destroyed..or look that way anyway lol.<br />I have 2 bedrooms. My kid has the bigger of the two.<br />Whoever designed this apartment needs to be SLAPPED as they put the only bathroom in my bedroom. So guests have to go thru my bedroom to relieve themselves. No...that's not the worst of it.The bathroom is a closet. I can literally go pee and wash my hands at the same time!!I told housing I was having a hard time squeezing my belly thru the space to get to the toilet..ya know what they told me!!!?? "Why don't you buy a commode?" A fucking commode? are you serious!?!?! So I'm gonna sit in my bedroom,living room,kitchen or child's bedroom and use this commode?? wtf!!! <br /> There's no room for shelves in the bathroom. I have a shelf perched on the back of my toilet. Items on the shelf are always at risk of falling into the toilet.and have before....*shudder*<br /> In my bedroom..besides having the only bathroom I also happen to have the doorway..the only entrance into my kids bedroom...so I am very limited as to where I can put things in my bedroom. The wall the bathroom door is on also has the entrance to the room itself as well as a closet so NOTHING can go on that wall!! its a fucking joke!! <br />My kitchen is like a goddamn hallway. its too small to even fit 2 people..... comfortably. and the crappy discount linoleum is falling off the wall...<br /><br />The only decent room is the living room...even then, one wall is entirely made of windows...so nothing goes on that wall!! lol We have a table up against it...but people can like....see us eat at it lol. My mom tells me all the time " I saw Raynah sitting at the table this morning.(shes drives a bus route) Even though that's just my mom..it creeps me out thinking other people who aren't my mom can see in here lol. "Close the curtains!!"??? no. The windows provide the only natural light source in the room. And I don't want my electricity bill to be like a million dollars lol <br /><br />"WHY did you get this apartment,Meagan?" You may be asking. The simple answer is: Beggars can't be choosers. It was an emergency housing thing the state did for me when I left my kids dad. I am grateful for the help but they now expect Me,my husband ,my daughter and soon a baby to fit in this cubicle of a dwelling!! I have to get rid of MY OWN furniture to make room for this baby...that's right!! I don't need a dresser!! psshhhhh or a table for the TV...noooooo. <br />NOW, if housing expects me to put a newborn in the same room as a 3 yr old. They must be on crack. I don't need my kid to be waking up at 3am with a screaming baby..so then I can have a screaming 3 yr old and newborn...yay. <br />Top PRIORITY after the birth and Thaddeus and I are both working at homes/hospitals whatever happens first....IS TO MOVE out of this hell hole.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So after deciding to be brave and get some opinions on my art in an art forum (as this site seems to be dead lately...lol..) I was humbled and cut down...lol...<br />I was told I need to study shading as my "light sources were all over the place" and I need to study anatomy before I started dressing the people I drew..and that I suck at hands as well...and to "watch my proportions".....*sigh* <br /><br />Instead of being challenged and ready to fix these problems like I thought I was going to be....I seriously.....feel like...ripping up all my art lol. Or throwing them out...<br />I AM pregnant and a tad hormonal...so lol...ignore the dramatic reactions lol<br />I mean,I thought I was making some real progress here lately. I really want to get better but I'm 21..how much better can I get? <br /><br />I mean...maybe I'm getting too old for the anime thing? Maybe I should try something else? as I'm obviously not supposed to be drawing anime...<br /><br />I mean,no matter how good you think you are..someone else is going to be better than you..I've accepted that..but my god....Why do I feel like crap now? lol <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So...I'm so bored. I'm too pregnant to get a job..nobody will hire me right now. at least in the field I trained in lol. Its a very physical job...lots of lifting and turning old people and being on your feet.lol. I can't go to a place and be like "hire me for the easy stuff" lol. Especially straight out of school they aren't going to want someone who's 7 months pregnant and who will be going on maternity leave!! So I sit at home..bored off my ass. I could go and get a job at like a walmart or something crappy BUT I have to alert housing of my income changes within 5 days of it happening...and I really dont want to have to go thru the bullshit of yet another rent change and changing my food stamps and all that for a measly $7/hr. I'd rather be telling them about it for a job I intend on being at for a while lol...ya know? Sorry if I sound like I'm mooching of the state but I have paid taxes and my husband does!! lol anyway<br /><br />So My husband wants me to draw him this joker to go along with the batman I just drew him. I am struggling. He's a little more difficult. He wants the Heath Ledger joker too. which is hard because I really can only draw cartoon stuff and he's not..lol. Its not like I have more important things going on lol...but its annoying when I can't draw what I see...lol.<br /><br />So opinion needed here....<br />As you know..or should know by now...We're having a boy. We're debating whether or not to get his ear pierced while he's little. Some people say it makes guys look gay.pssshhh. Its very common nowadays for guys to pierce both of their ears. I don't see what the big deal is. a few people told me "no its his choice let him decide" but SOOO many people pierce girls ears while they are infants...they don't get a choice.<br />Piercing a little boy's ear? yay or nay?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I changed my Avatar.You'll notice now that it is Spock doing the "live long and prosper" thing. Well..it SHOULD be.Yes I love Star Trek....don't say anything lol. What do you see? <br /><br />So...after weeks of me going thru the nursing assistant class and getting to see my husband for like..2 days a week. HE starts the same class today lol. ONLY he works during the day...and will be going to school at night. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> So it's going to suck lol. <br />But it'll be worth it once we are both making the big bucks lmao..<br /><br />So..I have these ancient radiators. and my apartment is like...soooooo hot. But I have been twisting the knob thing on the side and it doesn't seem to be working. I'm like living in a sauna. And its only the second day the heat has been turned back on in the building. wtf...it was freeeeeeezing and now its like too hot. My husband is at work right now or I would ask him to fix it lol. <br /><br />So this week is week 27 of my pregnancy. what is that like...almost 7 months?? lol almost 7 months. Not long now eh? I'm getting a little concerned though. We don't have a whole lot for the baby yet. We have a crib,bassinet,some clothes...but we don't have like a swing or stroller. I have a bunch of Raynahs old toys and such but they are for girls. So I would like to get the him some toys of his own...and bibs and stuff. He's going to be a boobfed baby lol. So we don't need to stock up on formula or anything. So...I'm thinking we are going to name him Ryland. Is that too similar to Raynah? its really only the Ry and the Ray thats similar...anyway i'm done rambling lol<br /><br /> ]]></description>

We need to get crackin'..lol<br /><br />So the name we think we might use is :<br /><br />Landon Gene Sargent.<br /><br />now...Gene is my husbands middle name lol. SO we are going to use it regardless of how you think it sounds so don't tell me you dont like Gene. AND I especially dont want to hear " Gene's a girls name!" becasue JEAN is a girls name and Gene is a guys name lol. <br /><br />its #49 on the top 100 names. Is that too high? I dont want him to go to school with like 5 million landons<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ [01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?<br />Yes,I don't give a fuck what people think of me...especially people on the internet I have never met..nor prolly never will meet. <br /><br />[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized?<br />No,I wouldn't.<br /><br />[03] Abortion: for or against it?<br />I am very choice. The day that A MAN gets pregnant is the day he can make a law telling women how to handle it. Its a personal choice and never an easy one. I do believe however that partial birth abortions are wrong. In my state,NH, abortions are allowed up to 13 weeks. Which is too high. Studies show that an embryo doesn't have brain activity or nerves to feel pain until the 12th week. so you have one week there where the thing can feel...not good. <br /><br />[04] Do you think the world would fail with a female president?<br />No....what a retarded question.<br /><br />[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?<br />The death penalty....ughhhh. No.well....yes and no. depends on situations I guess. <br /><br />[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?<br />It's a PLANT!!!! my god..it grows in the wild...are we gonna make marigolds illegal too?? I have NEVER heard anyone say "Yeah..he died because he smoked too much weed" or "He smoked weed then went out,knocked over a liquor store raped a girl...then crashed his car" have you? I'm not a pothead or anything....but seriously... <br /><br />[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?<br />Would you buy a car without taking it for a test drive? No. I'm not saying that's the ONLY thing you look for in someone..but its very important.<br /><br />[08] Do you believe in God?<br />Yes, but I don't presume to be able to tell you what he/she/it is. <br /><br />[09] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?<br />Yes!!! why not?? who gives a flying fuck, really? HOW PISSED would you be if someone told you couldn't marry the person you wanted becasue they "didn't believe in it" ?<br /><br />[10] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?<br />Yes. the keyword there is illegal. Follow the rules. <br /><br />[11] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?<br />I wouldn't let my 12 yr old carry a pregnancy to term. Do you know what having babies does to your body? a 12 year old doesn't need to have that. i'm not talking about stretch marks. I'm talking about the  postpartum depression,weight gain the lack of bladder control,tits that never shrink back down...I went thru it at 17 and wasn't ready...I wouldn't wish that on a 12 yr old.<br /><br />[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?<br />you can smoke,buy porn,gamble and go to war at 18...but you can't have a beer??!?!?! Does that make sense. <br /><br />[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?<br />Yes.<br /><br />[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?<br />Depends, is it some emo kid who thinks their 14 yr old life sucks?? or is it a perons who is in excruciating pain and dying slowly? <br /><br />[15] Do you believe in spanking your children?<br />Yes,until they are old enough to listen to a "good talking to"<br /><br />[16] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?<br />Its a piece of fabric!!! If I wouldn't get in trouble..then yes lol<br /><br />[17] Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?<br />Obama. <br /><br />[18] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?<br />Go ahead. I won't give a fuck. and may I just say that if you judge someone for not believing the same thing as you do...you're fucked. its a free country and all that crap.<br /><br />Anyone can do this if they please!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ 52 years old. diabetic. cardiac arrest. <br /><br />I feel like SUCH a piece of shit right now...<br />today is the day my dad is released from prison after years of being there. I've been so excited.until now.I get my dad back..and my husband gets his dad taken away...wtf? <br /><br />We went to say goodbye to him at the hospital we were there until like 2am. My husband,brothers and sister in law are all just balling their eyes out. I cried,alot. not becasue I was going to miss him....because THEY were. mostly I cried for Thaddeus. He kept talking all day about how he had to call his dad...to tell him we're having a boy. ...he never got to. His brother had told him for him...but he wanted to tell him himself. <br />It occurred to me on the way to the hospital...that he's never going to meet the baby.....the baby will never know his grandfather. And how pregnancy being a happy time....suddenly felt...wrong. I sat there with my big baby bump and met relatives I hadn't met yet and they were asking me questions like " when are you due?...oh thats nice!" I felt like saying " wtf is wrong with you? Ricky is dead!!!" <br /><br />My god....I can't make this guilt go away. I know I didn't do anything wrong...but still....its there.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So...its Monday...My birthday is on Wednesday. September 3rd. I was happy that my birthday didn't fall on F'ing labor day (today) this year. It does that sometimes. lol So...as 21 draws closer..I can't help but feel like..I should feel older. I mean...now I'll legally be able to drink...but I'm pregnant...so...I can't..with a clear conscience anyway lol. My mother took me out today..and bought me some maternity clothes(as a birthday present)...because I couldn't afford them myself at the moment... and they have become somewhat of a necessity rather than a "I want this" item lol. I figured when I reached 21 I would be able to buy my own clothes lmao. w/e...what are moms for. <br /><br />So...21 years on the planet.<br />Sorry for the randomness of the journal lol<br />To those over 21....did it just seem like another day?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I wish I could show you pictures......but...since IIIII didn't take them....I don't think I'd be allowed to upload them!<br />bummer. <br /><br />Also....<br />I have had like a billion ultrasounds....the baby is healthy. and we have one picture that shows possible MALE equiptment. POSSIBLE,not 100%. One of each would be nice since I have a girl already.<br />We'll wait and see. So. I'm 15 weeks....thats a week shy of 4 mths. <br />I've got a small baby bump.

Thaddeus will be working overnight tonight and Raynah will be at her fathers so maybe I'll have time to work on it then. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My moms Dog had cancer...and tumor on her side/belly that kept on growing. She was doing ok....meds we were working for while. then the tumor kept growing. They knew it was only a matter of time and as long as she was interested in food(she was always into food and such a huge beggar) and walking and being happy looking they wouldn't put her down.<br /><br />Yesterday....She was throwing up...and wouldn't eat (and couldn't take her meds) she was just lying there..wouldn't even acknowledge you were petting her....she was drooling and her breathing was fast and twitchy. So my mom and my step dad decided they'd have to have her put down last night. So she wouldn't be in pain and miserable anymore......<br /><br />She was my dog since I was 12 years old.......<br />I left my moms house while the dog was still alive....knowing that it was the last time I saw her..but I didn't get upset. I tried to be adult. Then,later, as I was sitting in bed, I closed my eyes to go to sleep (was nearly there) when I saw her in my head sitting in front of me as if I had a piece of food in had looking intent on getting it. she looked young and happy. I instantly woke up....and I lost it.... <br />So much for being an adult,eh? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />Anyway I know shes better wherever she is now. (to sound cliche) Shes in a better place.<br /><br />Rest in Peace Daisey....You will be missed.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...ok so I have this toothache. its so annoying. Its where a tooth USED to be..but the filling fell out and the tooth broke...and its gone lol. Its hurts to even swallow spit. Thaddeus says that after a few days the nerve dies and it will go away. WHEN?<br />So ontop of this annoyance...<br />Thaddeus got fired yesterday for taking 3 days off in 2 mths. 3 days!!!! 2 mths!!! ell he wasn't officially fired they said he would have to talk to the big boss...but it wasn't looking good. SOOOO....I am in the middle of stressing about planning my wedding ...and niether of us have a job....ughhhhh everythings booked...so "the show must go on" but I'm afraid its gonna be crappy.<br />I'm up waaaaaay too early with this toothache.<br /><br />So heres my rant for this journal:<br />Have you ever gone to WalMart and been followed by the loss prevention people? EVEN though you aren't doing anything wrong? I have to wonder how they pick the poeple to follow.We went in there yesterday...and This guy kept starring at us. He was just standing around in the clothing section ...talking to employees...(in normal clothes) so he was obviously loss prevention. He watched me walk all over. Then I really had to pee....I was afraid to use the bathroom because I didn't want him to think I was stealing. I mean....isn't that some kind of discrimination? just picking someone  who LOOKS like they're gonna steal???<br />AND another time I didn't think anyone was following me around at least I didn't notice anyone. I bought a few items.. went to self check out..and was walking out the door and this old lady stops me and says " Can i look at your receipt?" I'm like " Why?" and she says " sometimes the registers don't ring in everything right" That makes no sense. So I said her " 2 things on the receipt....2 things in the bag...." she looks and lets me go..I'm like wtf? How can they do that? While they're harassing me...they're letting actual thieves get away........ughhhhhhhh<br /><br /> ]]></description>
