Welp, I should be sleeping, but I'm not. Ric and Julius and Mom are here, and Carrie's in the Johnny Jump up thing bouncing around and dancing. Everyone's laughing, it's cute. Don't really have a lot to write, just wanted to update my page. :)

I don't have long to update this, but I'm over at Mom's real fast because Mom left Carrie here with Shawn when she came to pick me up from class. Life has been odd.. Jesse Lightner, Jennifer Lightner's brother apparently got shot the other night. I don't know all the details on that, because I only heard it second hand, or third hand, or 452 hand. Heh. But that sucks. I guess he's in the hospital or something. I dont' know much about it.. I found out today that my English teacher from last semester is getting a new job and is leaving the school on Friday. Which is bad, really bad. That means I have two days to finish 3 assignments, two of which I don't know what they are. Bad. I've put things off too long. So that sucks. I gotta get going home though, so bye.

I'm just here for a sec. Mom kept Carrie tonight and last night. I'm pretty tired, I just woke up for a second and wanted to check my email real fast. I'm at home obviously. I'm headed back to sleep in a second. I think Mom is mad at me though, because i didn't get a lot done yesterday. I meant to... *sigh* I dunno. A bunch of people showed up the other night... Friday night. Like Pat Woofter, Shane Thomas, Casey Walker, Travis Lightner.. and a bunch more. I talked with Travis for awhile about Jesse and how he's handling it.. I feel so bad for his family. Oh yeah, the rumor I heard before about Jesse was wrong. He wasn't in the hospital at that point, he had died.. They caught the person who shot him though finally so that's good. Welp, must go

Woke up early for some reason, didn't sleep too long anyway. Oh well. Just jumped online real fast, and am talking to John, who I haven't really talked to in awhile. Lacy is freaking out chasing a ball around. Carrie is at Mom's again/still. I went over last night for a bit because I miss her and because Mom ordered pizza. Hated walking over in the dark and back, especially now that it seems my 'stalker' or 'peeping tom' as the police once called him is back.. That's a long story in itself, which I don't feel like getting into at the moment. Anyway, got to see Carrie for a bit, though it seems she's getting a cold, so that sucks. :( I'm a bit happier than I was the last few days, so that's cool. Talked to Jason for a bit last night, and we were getting along all right.. (erp, not Jason Brandle) I have today off from school 'cause it's a holiday.. yay. :) Hehe anyway enough for now. Bye!

Sitting at Mom's really fast, about to head home. I was trying to study using the online website for my soc book but it's lagging like hell and annoying me. I'm still waiting for it to do something. Bleh. Oh well :) Today's been an alright day. :) WOO it finally did what it was supposed to! Anyways, gotta go :)

I'm over at Mom's, trying to study for my stupid sociology test, which I'm about doomed to fail. Actually, maybe not, I do feel like I'm remembering some of the material a little better, but not much, so I don't know how much that helps in the long run. Better than failing though I suppose. I keep going to the book's website and taking these stupid little quizzes.. sometimes I do good, sometimes I do horrible. The test is over 4 chapters, which I need to read still, and when I try to, it's like I'm not reading it. None of it seems to sink in. Blah.

Welp, today would have been Uncle David's birthday.. Life is going alright I guess, though frustrating sometimes. IRC frustrates me more than anything, and I hate that I let it affect me so much. And I wish that I felt I could write about it in here, but I'd only hear about it later, and I don't want to. So that's that.
Carrie doesn't seem to be feeling well. She's extremely cranky, and whiney.. and sort of quiet at the same time. I feel bad for her, I was thinking she was getting a cold, but I hate seeing her so unhappy. I wish she were feeling better. My poor baby.

Welp, I'm at my place, and I just got done feeding Carrie.. a bit late, because she had an extended nap. Anyway, my weekend was alright. I stayed at Mom's so I could accomplish some more on-line studying for my sociology test. I did get some studying done Friday night, and then Saturday night, Danielle wanted me to baby-sit, which I did. The girls are getting so big. It's really quite scary. They wanted to watch the Britney Spears concert on Disney, which they did, and then watched it again. Brittany was hoping to stay up to watch the Backstreet Boys concert , but luckily for me it was on after they needed to go to bed. ;) By then it was 10:40, and the girls went to bed with no problem, since they got to stay up later than usually and were pretty tired. Carrie sleeping at the time, and then woke up. She was teething badly and basically screamed from then until about 3:30 am... I had finally called mom and had her come get Carrie because I didn't want her to wake the girls, and because I didn't have her teething stuff with me. :( I felt so bad for her, I've never heard her scream like that. Danielle showed up about 3 minutes before Mom did, at 3:30, and we got back to Mom's at like 4. I went to sleep once Carrie was asleep and managed to sleep half of Sunday. Shawn, Michelle, and I took Shawn's travelall on Sunday to go to Goodwill because Shawn wanted to see if they still had the stereo stand Mom told him about, but they didn't, and didn't have much else of interest.. No Strawberry Shortcake. :( So then we went to the grocery store so I could get groceries, which included a ton of baby food. Hehe, that was fun. We came by my place so I could unload, which I did, and I put away the stuff that needed to be frozen/refridgerated, and then we took Michelle home, and then Shawn and I returned to Mom's. I tried to study some more, etc. Got yelled at by Mom for being on the phone, and some other stuff.. bleh. Mom brought Carrie and I home early this morning before she left to go out of town (she'll be gone 2 weeks) and I made some phone calls, made doctors appointments for Carrie and I. Picked up a bit, and talked to Jason (Shdw) for a bit when he called, and then Shawna showed up to baby-sit. I walked to school, and was freaking about my midterm soc test. I went into the student center and saw Damien, who was studying as well, so I studied with him for about 15 minutes, we asked each other questions. Then I went to my micros class, and finished all of the assignments due on Thursday, so I basically have nothing to do for a few days. Left that class, and headed back to the student center to study some more. Curtis was there, and Damien was still sitting there so I studied with them for about half an hour before soc started. We got things pretty well down, and I told them what they missed during our review class. Sunny showed up and joined us a few minutes before class, then we went.
The test wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it be, actually. The fill in the blank parts kind of sucked, but I still figured it out alright, and hopefully didnt do too badly. We got to leave when we were finished so I was done early from class. Talked with Damien, Curtis, and Sunny for awhile, and then Sunny and I talked with Marc... weird day. Sunny, Damien, and Marc *all* locked their keys in their cars today. But luckily Sunny had her window partly down and managed to get into her car. So she gave me a ride home. I was still early getting back, even after talking awhile. Shawna left shortly after I got home, and then I chatted on IRC until Carrie woke up, who Shawna put down for a nap right before I got home. Then I fed her carrots and applesauce, which was fun.
I decided to let her try to feed herself a bit.. which was interesting. First spoonful she about put in her eye. I took pictures, and helped her put the spoon in the bowl, and then back to her mouth. By then I was having fun letting her make a mess and she was putting her hands in the bowls and making a huge mess.. I let her play for awhile and then cleaned her up and the high chair up, and gave her a bottle. She's lying on the floor right now reaching for Lacy who's keeping her distance. I gotta go now to put her to sleep. :) Bye :)

Well, last night Travis showed up shortly after I wrote my entry.. He wanted a glass of water.. odd.. Heh. He also showed me the tattoo he got, which is really neat. The design is cool, but the best part is what it says. It says "In memory of my brother Jesse" or something similar to that, with 82 on one side and 99 on the other... I thought it was really sweet of him. I guess him and Jennifer and their family had just gotten back from Oregon. So I'll have to give Jennifer a call. While he was here, he saw Carrie for the first time, and she woke up (oops) so then when he left I had to put her back to bed, only then she started crying. :( I think it's the teething again. She drools so much now. :p Anyway, that was my night, basically, last night. Today I've mainly been dealing with Carrie.. got her up, changed her, we played for a bit.. Fed her breakfast (cereal and a bottle). She's in her walker at the moment throwing all of her toys. I'm half tempted to not go to school today, since I know I finished all my work yesterday, but I suppose I'll go anyway. It'll be good for me, besides I like to pick on the people in my class! :) hehe And well, I won't even need to bring my stuff with me.. Yay me. I have such a boring social life.. Oh well. Welp, I should go for now :) More later :)

Today has been alright. Shawna showed up and I found out Jennifer was coming over while she baby sat. I went to class, which was pretty boring considering I had nothing to do, and then got a ride home from Chris B.'s aunt again. When I got home Jennifer and Shawna were here so we visited for awhile and then they left. Jenny called and decided to stop by so her and Jessica (Jenny's sister) stopped by. Jenny looks so cute all pregnant. :) She's due next Thursday.. woo :) I gave her all of the little dresses I got her for presents, and all of the diapers that no longer fit Carrie. I forgot to give her the Mickey overalls back though.. Woops. Anyway, then Jenny and I ran to the store while Jessica stayed here to watch Carrie so I could get Jenny cigs since she doesn't have id, then back here. Visited with Jenny for awhile and then her and Jessica left. Haven't done much else. Fed Carrie after they left and after she played awhile and tried to crawl (and only succeeded in going backwards instead of forward) I put her to bed. Chris called me, Chris my ex that is. I talked with him for a little bit, but not too long. He said he'd be in town in December. Nothing much else going on, I need to get to bed..

All is well I guess. Yesterday I was almost late to class, but this guy in my class gave me a ride.. So I made it in time. I didn't have to go to micros anyway though, so I basically played around on the computer. Went to soc and people were missing from there as well. We didn't get our tests back :( The teacher kept using me as an example because I'm a mother, ahh, but I hate being the center of attention anymore. Oh well though huh? Came home, Sunny gave me a ride, and I fed Carrie, talked to Jason (shdw), talked to Chris Baker a couple of times!, talked to Jason (blade), etc... Was an alright night. :) This morning, I fed Carrie her breakfast, and got her ready.. Danielle showed up to get me to take me to my doctors appointment, which went fine I guess. I told them that my throat didn't hurt anymore, but she wanted to look anyway, and she said my throat looked horrible. So they did a throat culture thing, but I don't have strep... Just a viral infection. Doesn't hurt anymore anyway. Then we discussed my weight and some other things, so they took my blood to test me for all kinds of shit, my liver, my iron level, my thyroid, and to test for lukemia, and some other stuff, I can't even remember what.. So that sucked, I hate having blood taken. After that, back home again, and then Shawna came and I left for class. Was boring, we started the next unit. Came home again, Carrie took a nap, sat around, Carrie woke up, fed her dinner, put her to bed, and I'm headed to bed myself now. :) Good night :)

Friday, October 22, 1999 - 9:26 PM
Today has been alright. I went to bed right after I wrote yesterday, and then Jason (shdw) called, I apparetly answered, said "hello" and then fell asleep. Oops. Got up this morning, got Carrie breakfast and then basically was lazy all day. The farthest I went was to the mailbox. So I have nothing to write about! Well except that Carrie is getting better at crawling.. or more like dragging herself. She managed to go a little forward today. And Mike called tonight to ask if he could come in town soon which I said yes to. Anyway, bye!

Saturday, October 23, 1999 - 11:59 PM
Today was an alright day.. I came over here to my Mom's, checked my mail, had cards from Gram and Pap for Halloween. Carrie got $2. :P Shawn and Michelle were here and they watched Carrie for me while I went to the store. They also took videos of her trying to crawl. Then Shawn ordered pizza and I got online and stuff. I talked to Jason (Shdw) and then Jon a couple of times, to Rich, and Mom. Gram called as well. That's about my whole entire day, pretty damn exciting huh? I'm staying here for the night. Anyway, byebye :)

Monday, October 25, 1999 - 1:01 AM
Yesterday was a slow day. I basically sat around at Mom's all day and did nothing. Played with Carrie, talked on IRC, looked at webpages.. Didn't end up going home, so here I am at my Mom's still. I'll go home in the morning before class and what not. I need to get to bed in a few. What else did I do? Hrm.. I talked to Jason (shdw), and Jon - yesterday was his birthday! :) So that's pretty damn neat. :) I dunno, life's alright I guess overall. :) nothing much to say.. byebye :)
