Please Support this Cause!!!!
Have you ever wondered if there was anything you could do to make a difference in some one's life? Well here is an opportunity! My friend Kris is participating in Team in Training. It is a program that helps Leukemia patients and their families. Shes half way to her goal! 75% of the money raised goes directly to these patients and their families. Proceeds do not go to some rich doctor!!!! Please open your hearts and give what ever you can! Every penny counts!

life at our house
Things are crazy at the Kucirek-Moore casa these days. We now have two doggies. Yep two. The newest addition is Ginger, a 4 year old Carolina. She is totally cute but scared of every thing. She is just in love with Adam. She is a sweet dog and we just love her. She is technically Carey's dog but well we take care of her and would be very sad if she was to leave us. We just love this dog, as if I havent said that twice now.
Im doing pretty well in school! I got a 76 on my second Chem test. Yes sir, I am very proud of that! Especially after totally bombing the first test. In Medical Terminology, I have had three tests and the scores are as follows: 94, 86, 83! Go me! Not to toot my own horn but I am totally kickin medical terminology butt!
I am currently supporting three causes. One is my friend Kris, who is participating in Team in Training to raise money for Leukemia patients! Go girl! Tomarrow I will be participating in the MS walk to support Multiple Sclerosis. Then on the 29th of April I will be participating in Walk America to support the March of dimes, walking to save babies. To support Kris see my top entry, to support me and Team Hope in the March of Dimes Walk America, see my side bar at the top!
My baby brother was in an accident so now he is looking for a new vehichle. Im just thanking God that he is still here. His truck some how had a carbon dioxide leak into it. Since his windows were rolled up it filled the cabin of his truck and he fell asleep. He took out a light pole and then came to a stop 30 feet from the busy, rush hour traffic, interstate. Then if he hasnt had it hard enough, he then went into work the other day and his boss gave him the boot for "walking off the job." Baffles us cause he left when he was supposed to just like he did every day. So now he is looking for a new job as well. Prayers are really needed hes not feeling like much of a winner at the moment. Poor kid. I am trying to get him to come apply with Marriott. We may sit on the phone all day but hell you can get some killer bonus checks. When I was on the sales floor I could easily double my check in bonuses. I am really praying for the kid.
Other than all this we are having life as usual! Maybe it will stay that way or even get better!!!

Updates, updates
Well the new quarter has begun at school. I am now in College Chemistry and Medical Terminology. I have to say it seems like this quarter will be challenging but good. I loved Chemistry in high school and my professor teaches with the assumption that every one has absolutely no back ground with the subject. My terminology class, however, is online. So I will have to be more self driven for that class. I can do it though. I know I can. I find my self saying "woah" every time I learn something new or what something really means. So thats a good thing right?
Today was very pretty out. Where was I though? I was in bed with a three day old migrane. That sucked let me tell you. Its only been in the last 5 or so hours that my head has quit feeling like it was going to explode. This after noon I did acomplish some things, though they were few. I potted my 4 rose bushes, that is until I am sure that there wont be any more freezes this year, I will keep them in pots. Then we went to the store and the sucker I am, I bought 2 more of them. All of them a different color. They should look beautiful in front of my house though! I cant wait to get them in the ground. In between them there will be tulips of various colors and varieties. I only bought like 9 or so bags back when I found them on sale this fall.
Im even thinking about putting them down the length of my sidewalk in the front. We will see though. Upon inspection of our newly dried out back yard, which has been completely covered in snow since we moved in. We discovered a whole slew of planted onions. I mean we found a lot of them. So we are going to move them from the center of our yard to the area of our new garden.
Last Monday we recarpted our basement, which makes our home feel just that much closer to being finished. Our dog doesnt quite know what to think yet. He wasnt allowed down there before and now we spend most of our time down there watching tv or hanging out with him.
We found out that my older sister is having a little boy in June! Get this though, the name is terrible. Ok the first name isnt but the middle name is so gonna get the kid made fun of. Xander Wolfgang. I wish I could tell you that I am joking. That is really the name for the kid.
I am going to Texas in June to see the new kid, my family and friends. I cant wait. I can however, wait for the expense. I am doing good with my finances, Adam says Im being too hard on myself though. I know all my money is going to bills, school and all that junk, but then I look at my bank account and just feel broke instead of good about being able to pay it all on my own. Im not whining, just feel a little drained. Then he reminds me that most at my age dont own a house and balance 40 hours of work with paying their own tuition. I guess he is right. Why do I feel like Im not really accomplishing anything though? Will it finally hit me what I have done (am doing) when I have the degree and am out of school? Will it hit me when I have that amazing job and make really really good money? I sure as heck hope so.
Finally, for anyone whose been keeping tabs on me and how I never really picked a major, I did it. I picked one. I want to go into the Radiography Technician program at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Think I can do it? I sure hope so! They are super picky about who they let in so heres to hoping!!!

Please Support Kris in this worthy cause
I usually dont ask my friends to participate in any of the things I am try to help with. However this time is different. My friend Kris, is participating in a Triathalon that is meant to support children with Leukemia. She is raising money for this cause though her Team In Training participation. Where I am no expert on this disease and what it does to these innocent children, I do know what it is like to loose some on I love to Leukemia. Supporting these children is one of the most worthy things we can all do. Please find it in your heart to give to these children. Giving to them will bless you and those who your gift is going to.

Thursday Thirteen Edition #1
 |
1. I have a great family! I just don't know what I would do with out my sisters, mom, step dad and brothers! They really are the best, even though I complain about at least one of them constantly. 2. I have the best boyfriend in the world, Adam is absolutely wonderful and puts up with everything that I can throw his direction. 3. I am healthy! Yes this is a big deal to me. Half of my family(paternal side) all have died slow painful deaths. This mainly was caused by the need for cigarettes, but there have been many other reasons. I am so thankful that all my tests for various things came back as HEALTHY! 4. I have two of the best friends in the whole world! Kristy Sue and Kevin Andrew. They have stood by my side through it all! I am so thankful to have them in my life. 5. I have a good job, even though right now I am not motivated at all, that keeps my bills paid and allows me to have the comforts I need. 6. I am finally back in school. Yes I'm on my 3rd semester, but it was a really hard thing to finally go back, which was in large part the workings of my lovely counterpart. That of coarse puts me back at my Adam (no. 2). 7. The good Lord has blessed me with many talents, even if I don't use them. I can sing, dance, write poetry (some of which I have had published) and speak well in a public setting. I count these things, used or not, as a great attribute to who I am and my character. 8. Elvis! Yep I said it! I use Elvis music to pull me out of a funk. I can turn on Elvis and be transformed, even if temporarily, into a very hopeful person. Yes I know that can be rather dorky but I do love him! 9. I have a home to call mine, even if it is not a house, yet. I am working on that one, Adam and I just haven't been able to agree on the right home yet. For the meantime though, I am thankful for this apartment that we share. 10. My two beautiful God-daughters, Katherine and Jaden. They always manage to make me smile. I do so miss them! 11. Adams Family! They are absolutely the best people that I could ever wish for in an extended family situation. They are always so kind to me, respectful and just plain fun to be around! I really do love his family, his sisters in particular! 12. My past, though it has been dark, cold and down right depressing at times, it is what has made me who I am today. I don't know that I would change any of it given the chance. 13. My family here in the blogging community! It really does help me to know that there are people out there, whom I may never meet, that will take the time to share their experience. I love the camaraderie that we have formed! I really look forward to reading your postings and comments! Thank you for reading mine too!!! Links to other Thursday Thirteens!1. (leave your link in comments, I’ll add you here!) |

Today
So today, once again, I got just about nothing done. I lounged around, did nothing. Well besides school and lunch.
I did how ever manage to get birthday cards for Bridezilla, Katherine(my beautiful goddaughter), My Grandmother, and my other little goddaughter Jaden. So that was my day. Nothing. I miss my girls though. The thought of my Katherine being 8 years old as of today (10/19) is so astonishing to me. She is the reason I grew up in the first place. I didnt want my best friend to have to grow up alone. So I did too. Gosh I miss that girl. Jaden is 1 as of Friday. I still havent even gotten to meet the kid. That just kills me. I so love that family. Hell they have been my family for so long. I miss them soo bad.
So today I was super, mega bitch. Every time Adam suggested something to do, I shot it down. Like pms or something, except Im generally not like that. Part of me wants to just go cuddle up and sleep. But I know I will just lay there. Sleep never really does come.
Finally I gave up and went to a movie with Adam. Yep Im a sucker for cartoons. We went to see the Ant Bully. Totally cracked me up. We really enjoyed it. Im glad we went. I have been feeling so down, that I needed to just crack up for no reason. I love to sit in a movie theatre and hear the kids laugh. Nothing is more honest than childrens laughter. Its almost contagious. For a guy who really isnt a fan of children, Adam loves that too. He amazes me sometimes. He really does.
Well Im just gonna go try to relax. I dont know why I cant shake this sickening depression that set in a few weeks ago. I will be fine one minute, then the next I am weighed down again. Adam seems to notice it too. I need a shrink!

Just my recent updates.
Well its official. I am a part of Marriotts Sales and Reservations! I officially graduated from the training program tonight. I recieved a double "K" tonight on my final evaluations! I had a hell of a night but I got through it. My OJT was Donna and she was great! So Paul, Hope, Michele, Nate, Kevin, and I all joined the World Wide Reservations desk tonight. My regular work schedule starts at 7:00 am on Saturday morning. I am rather excited to tell you the truth.
With other news... Kristy Sue went to the doctor today. We still dont know if we are having a boy or a girl. Yes I said we. Shes been my best girl since we were 5 so come on what do you really expect? We are all (Kristy, Joey and I) doing the little boy dance. She is doing well except that she has low risk HPV. I dont know how to explain that but it has to do with pregnancy and they do monitor it. Its nothing that is contagious or even harmful to her. But it is something that can become a problem to the pregnancy. But we are going to make sure my Sue Sue and my new little favorite baby is healthy as can be. I am more than excited about the fact that I am getting a new baby to play with. Even though I wont get to see her or the baby often enough. Gosh I miss her. I miss them all. It was soo nice to get to talk to her today. She knows I am going to be as involved in this pregnancy and babys life as I can possibly be. Just as I have been with my Katherine. I love those girls. They are my other life. Kristy is my other half.
God gives us all the opportunity to have a special some one in our lives. I got too lucky in the fact that I got two. I got Kristy Sue and Kevin Andrew. Those are my two special people. I may never find true love. But I know I have felt real love in these two crazy fools. I love them so much. I dont know what I would do sometimes with out the love and support and extra push I have had from them for all these years. They are my world in a big way.
Kristy is talking about coming to visit me! I soo miss her. So you can imagine my excitement. I havent seen her since I left that morning in January. I got so used to having her down the hall to talk to that I dont really know what it is like not to have her around anymore. Its sad but I feel like I am missing part of me not having her and Katherine to look after. For the first time in forever I only have me to look after. Its an odd place I am in. Even though I am gettin up on 5 months being here and with my family. Im still adjusting. What do you think? Am I adjusting well???

That time of year again
This week will be hard for me. I have alot to keep my mind off of it though. I hate Mothers Day. My mom respects it though. Not her favorite day of the year either for much the same reason. Its hard for a woman who doesnt have her little child to hold to celebrate a day when they get no recognition because the world doesnt see them as a mother. Even though it is threw no fault of her own. Well im my case I do so blame my self. Yes three years later I still feel as if this is my own damn fault. I didnt ask for my baby to not make it. But I am the one that willingly took those drinks. Yeah what a loving mother right? Enough of the blame for now. I just really am going to loathe the end of the week. Its one of the hardest days of the year for me. Yes I know that God took my child for a reason. Didnt allow me to ever know that joy. But it hurt both of us. Toby and I both hurt. He was more excited than anyone I think. I mean only he, Kristy and I knew. But thats not the point. We were waiting for the Christmas and New Years holidays to be over with before we were to make our big announcement. But alas it never happend. Sure several people know now. But I hurt still. I dont know about him. He always played with every one elses babies and took one death in particular extremely hard after we lost ours. But I understand that. Its never fair for a baby to die. That is just the biggest tragedy I believe anyone can suffer. I find my self wondering how some women deal with it. I mean here three years later I still cant. I still have trouble playing with babies. But yet never had a problem with Sherry Gales little boy. Nope not at all. And that was only 5 months after my miscarriage. Infact it helped to heal a bit. Here I am awaiting the news from the doctors office on Tuesday for my best friend, doing the baby boy dance, thinking God I wish I were so lucky. Shes an amazing mother. I wish I could have had that chance. But I see now why God said no. I wasnt ready. I would be involved in a hell of a custody battle right now and no where near happy. But still. I guess at some point I have to stop hurting. But when will that happen?? For now heres a show of acknowledgement for all you mothers who are not considered to be mothers.
