I might as well get paid for it...
So what do I want to do? Im not sure, but it would be spiffy to do what I LIKE to do and be paid for it. I like a lot of things, but I think if I were to get paid for them and it be a job they might loose their fun-ness and it become more like work. So maybe something Im good at and can do easily and just have hobbies. Okay, what am I good at? Well, lol, making plans, organizing things, and telling people what to do based on their skill and the needs of the task. But unless Kim wins the lottery and I can be her life-coach then Im stuck finding a real job.
Okay so Im taking PD 115, which is designed to help us figure out who we are and what we want to do with our lives. I had to take a personality test, this is hysterical, I could have saved myself the test and just skiped to the end, but here I am:
Extraverted iNtuitive Thinking Judging
"I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?"
ENTJs have a natural tendency to marshall and direct. This may be expressed with the charm and finesse of a world leader or with the insensitivity of a cult leader. The ENTJ requires little encouragement to make a plan. One ENTJ put it this way... "I make these little plans that really don't have any importance to anyone else, and then feel compelled to carry them out." While "compelled" may not describe ENTJs as a group, nevertheless the bent to plan creatively and to make those plans reality is a common theme for NJ types.
ENTJs are often "larger than life" in describing their projects or proposals. This ability may be expressed as salesmanship, story-telling facility or stand-up comedy. In combination with the natural propensity for filibuster, our hero can make it very difficult for the customer to decline.
ENTJs are decisive. They see what needs to be done, and frequently assign roles to their fellows. Few other types can equal their ability to remain resolute in conflict, sending the valiant (and often leading the charge) into the mouth of hell. When challenged, the ENTJ may by reflex become argumentative. Alternatively (s)he may unleash an icy gaze that serves notice: the ENTJ is not one to be trifled with.
Want to take the quiz? Here it is: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp
So... now to find a job for an ENTJ (me)......
Possible Career Paths for the ENTJ:
- Corporate Executive Officer; Organization Builder
- Entrepreneur
- Computer Consultant
- Lawyer
- Judge
- Business Administrators and Managers
- University Professors and Administrators
Daycare and school
So it comes down to this, I never ever wanted to put Boo in daycare, but I'm never going to be able to finish school if we don't. I take class at night so I don't need a babysitter but I have got to have some time to study and the 2hrs I'm awake at night after she goes to bed just aren't enough. So it looks like we will be putting her in daycare so she can play and learn and I can have peace and quiet and study and such.
I met with the daycare provider yesterday at a park and Kaylee really seemed to like her! We will be going Monday, since Matt has the day off work, to see the site and let Kaylee get familiar with it. I'll be dropping her off at 730am and picking her up by 530pm latest. My class is M & W 630-930pm so we decided not to do M W daycare as well so I can still spend time with her every day, so we have decided on T & Th daycare.
There also some community classes Matt and I were thinking of taking. For him a computer refresher course and for me a photography class and together we will take a cooking class and few parenting classes on discipline and potty training. The fee for these is almost nothing ($0-$15 per class) and so that's fabulous!
Okay, that's all for now.

Semi-sweep: Misty, Kerri to play for gold
U.S. beach volleyball team advances to final
By the Associated Press
Posted Monday, August 18, 2008 5:37 PM ET
-Treanor and Kerri Walsh advanced to the beach volleyball final on Tuesday, beating Brazil in straight sets to earn the chance to repeat their Athens victory.
Just as she did four years ago, May-Treanor also sprinkled some of her mom's ashes on the sand before the semifinal, saving another half-portion for a similar ceremony at the gold medal game.
"You can't leave home without her," May-Treanor said, tapping the plastic film canister she used to carry Barbara May's remains. "But she'll stay here."
The Americans beat Renata Ribeiro and Talita Antunes 21-12, 21-14 for their 107th consecutive victory and the guarantee of at least a silver medal. The United States has now reached the podium in all four Olympic tournaments since beach volleyball was added to the games in 1996.
"We're not done. We are absolutely not done," Walsh said. "We came here to win."
Walsh and May-Treanor will play top-seeded Tian Jia and Wang Jie of China in the gold-medal match. Tian and Wang defeated their compatriots Xue Chen and Zhang Xi in Tuesday's second semifinal match. Playing in the longest women's beach volleyball match of the Beijing Games, Tian and Wang defeated Xue and Zhang 22-24, 29-27, 15-8.
"We know, definitely, the crowd will be with us," May-Treanor joked about playing in front of Tian and Wang's home crowd in the final.
Xue and Zhang will play Talita and Renata for third place.
"I think their destiny is the bronze," May-Treanor said, predicting a Brazilian victory. "I told them, 'I'm going to see you up on the podium,' and we'll be sitting side-by-side again."Finished
Im so freakin pissed off right now, I am done trying to be nice and neutral with Mickayla's father (sperm donor) because of what he did today.
So Im in Mississippi right now, I put my plans on hold for 2 weeks so we could fly out here and let Mickayla visit with her family here. I left Matt, and all of my friends and family so this could happen and when I get back I start school up again so I really didnt get much of a break. Thats fine, I know they love her and miss her and so I went out again (we came out in June as well).
So Joey came Mon-Tues last week for a few hours and then had to leave sooner than planned, but whatever, it wasnt a huge deal. We tried to let him see her when we were up in Jackson where he lives but he was working late and it didnt work out. So he came last night at 9pm after work and she got to see him for 2hrs till she went to bed. He was in a fine mood, laughing and playing with her, and not being mean to me and everything was fine.
This morning he was still sleeping when we got up, and even though I tried to get her to play with him he tried to go back to sleep. He played on his computer for awhile, and his mom had to run some errands and was gone for an hour. So he holds her and they are watching a video on his laptop, but he still hasnt gotten up off the couch. The whole time Im in and out of the bedroom, livingroom, kitchen etc feeding her, playing with her and putting away toys. His mom gets home and then takes Mickayla down the block to drop something off at Aunt Linda's and comes back, they then go outside and play for a bit and then come back again. Joey still hasnt gotten off of the couch. I had shown him a letter from child support services that had come in the mail, he needed to fill out some things and he put it to the side till later. I tried to make jokes, offer him coffee, and generaly be nice, but he was grouchy and cranky all morning but talking to me at least.
Connie and I start talking about what we are doing for the day. Before I take a shower he is reading the financial papers from child support services and hes ticked off and grouchy, when I get out hes still ticked off. He starts packing up his stuff and toting it to the car and slamming around. He walks back into the livingroom and asks "why do I have to fill out those papers?" and told him we had already discussed it and didnt want to argue. We ask if he wants to come with us and he says yes and we get ready to go. He said he would follow us to where we are going, but take his own truck. We get to where we are, and hes not there.
He called his mom and said he got a phonecall from 'work' and he has to talk to a lawyer and 'wear a tie'. I think this is complete crap, as a lawer would have an appointment time and he would have been notified of it before hand, or he would have said thats what he had to do instead of saying he was going with us. Also, the only time he was alone for a phonecall was when I was in the shower and by then he was already pissed off and grouchy and its far too cooncidental for that.
He was mad because instead of paying me child support, WHEN he wants and HOW MUCH he wants and having that control over things, he will have to pay THEM when and how much they say. Hes pissed. I dont care, its not my problem!
But instead of being a grown-up and dealing with his problem, and asking questions calmy, or saying "hey you go run your errands Im going to wait here" and then calm down by the time we get back, he storms off and LEAVES HIS DAUGHTER AGAIN.....seems like a trend... he didnt even say goodbye to her....
So Im done. I am not calling him, texting him, asking his opinion about anything. Im not going out of my way for him or giving any more effort to him. I wont stop him from contacting her, but Im not going out of my way for him anymore. He doesnt want her, he doesnt get off the chair/couch when hes here to play with her, he wont make any effort to see her so why should I?
He asked if Matt wanted to adopt her, and he does, and then asked "so I would not have to pay child support then?".. thats the ONLY thing he cares about! He hasnt once asked how Im raising her, or if Matt is a good guy, or if we treat her well. He doesnt ask how we are for weeks at a time, and even when he does call its excuses and excuses.
She has a much better daddy now, who loves and adores her. So tough for him!

Contraception is abortion?
Hi,
I had to share something with you. Can you imagine living in a place where birth control is considered an "abortion" and health insurers won't cover it? Where even rape victims are denied emergency contraception?
It seems unbelievable, but the Bush Administration is quietly trying to redefine "abortion" to include birth control. The Houston Chronicle says this could wipe out dozens of state laws that protect women's reproductive freedom and protect rape victims. And this proposed "rule change" doesn't need congressional approval.
I just signed a message to Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt, whose department is considering this rule change, telling him: "Contraception is NOT abortion." Can you add your voice to this cause? Click here to sign the message: http://pol.moveon.org/contraception/?r_by=13468-9499098-v.J6ntx&rc=paste
Thanks!

25. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old backside.

Cell Phone update
Okay, I won an auction for a new cellphone on eBay and Ill be paying for it tomorrow and should recieve it in a week-ish. Problem is Im going to MS for a week and a half so Matt didnt want me to be without one so I got a TracPhone so I had it for the trip. I got the cheapest phone and put the min number of minutes on so I will have it for emergency but not for a lot of chit-chat.
If you need me email me, myspace me or call Matt!

Its NOT ours!
Seriously, Im going to smack someone. When I moved in, there was crap here that wasnt ours. Matt never complained to the landlord about it because it wasnt in his way. Well I collected (around the house, yard and garage) it and set it in the back-backyard (behind the garage) and we told the landlord's daughter-in-law (she works for him) it was the previous tenant's stuff and thought that was it.
Nope, for MONTHS now every few weeks the neighbor mentions to us that the stuff is there. Hes offered a dump pass, hes even mentioned the landlord is out of town and we should get it done before he gets back! Matt called the landlord and confirmed, its NOT our stuff, we are NOT disposing of it! The landlord hasnt brought it up again and we considered it droped. Nope, the neighbor sent his friend over today to OFFER me his TRUCK!
"Im a friend of Andy's, he mentioned you may need to borrow a truck to take some of your things to the dump."
"Im sorry, you must be mistaken, we dont have anything to dispose of"
"Oh, well he mentioned the stuff in the backyard...."
"Those things aren't ours, we have told him this. We have called the landlord and told him and he knows its not our stuff. But its so nice of you to offer your truck to Andy."
I then see him talking to Andy and then they left...
ARGH seriously? Its not our stuff!!!

Things you learn...
So when you have an active toddler, remember that they LOVE the potty and all things in the bathroom (which are usually off-limits and therefor so appealing).
My cellphone is sitting in a bag of rice. Not the cheapie instant rice, no, the nice long grain organic rice... it was either that or the sushi rice and after this ordeal I may need sushi so of course that rice couldnt be used.
Please take these two pieces of information and determine for yourself what happened. Ill give you a minute...... Yes.. the phone went for a swim.
So as soon as it fell in I grabed it out, maybe 5 seconds in the toilet tops. I ripped off the back case, pulled out the battery and sim card and tried drying it in my shirt. I put it infront of the fan and let it dry for a bit and then into the bag of rice. I hope this works, its all I can think of.
So Matt... sweetie... =) if I dont answer its because the phone is in rice and I may need a new one..... love you... =)

Mickayla’s First Pet
What will we name them?! She loves them and keeps walking up and pointing at them and saying "IISSHHHH" lol
Packing for the trip
Im SO very glad I checked the airline we are taking! American is charging per bag, each way for a checked bag. BUT Continental is only charging for the second bag, lucky us! Which means I can check 2 bags (Kaylee and I each have a ticket) for free! So Ill be packing a suitcase for me and Kaylee and her Pack N Play to sleep in.
So Ill have the carseat on its little cart and a diaperbag with snacks, change of clothes, her DVD player etc through the airport. Ill pack everything else and check the bags and be done with it! I was beginning to think I was going to be dragging everything behind me through the airport!! LOL
I picked up a new jammie for Kaylee, tanktop and shorts, and a new outfit for the trip as well. Shes adorable in yellow so hopefully she wont ruin it before her grandparents see her in it!

Doing Well
So right now Matt is in the backyard with Kaylee and they are playing with the ball and the new playstructure we got for her. Its pretty spiffy! I finally got a chance to escape and drink my coffee and relax.
I am getting ready to order my books for fall semester, Im taking Geol, Eng and then PD 1/2 the semester and SOC the other half. It should be good fun, lol.
Matt got a promotion, but it wont be effective till Jan. We are excited because it means the shipping and receiving department he supervises now, he will be running shipping and his boss will just have receiving. He will be the youngest manager the company has and its all because they love him and know hes a good guy. No more work shirt for him, Im currently collecting nice polo and button down shirts, even though its months away Im collecting a little at a time.
I keep trying to buy Kaylee new clothes, but shes so skinny that everything falls off of her. I have learned Target brand works best when shes just into a new size, and JumpingBean, Old Navy and Childrens Place work when shes between sizes.
No more court stuff for me! Im very excited about that. I went to the facilitators office to do the final set of papers and they sprung on me that I had to take a parenting class. So I found the earliest class and got Lorie to watch Kaylee and figured I could suffer through it. It was worse than I imagined! It wasnt about parenting skills or anything like that, it was about mediation and court procedures and such if your fighting for custody. So why did I have to take the class? Because thats the way it is... a waste of my time but I confirmed it was the last thing I needed to do. I will receive a letter about the court date, then after that Ill receive a copy of the judgment with a stamp and signature, and it will be over.
Next Friday we leave to go to Sacramento and visit my Mom and family. Then Sunday Kaylee and I fly to MS to visit her Nana and Papa and family. We will be there till the following Tuesday when we fly back to Sacramento and will be staying there with my Mom will the weekend and her and Jody and Zazu will be coming down for the weekend.
Okay, thats my update! I hope everyone is doing well and Ill update more when I get back.
