So, I'm a bit bummed out... again, about where my life is at right now.

Things I've missed in the past 7years-->

1) My Brother's Junior high graduation: Because I was out to sea on the USS Carl Vinson, during my Navy Career.

2) My Dad and Step-Mom's renewal of vows: Because I was stationed in Virginia on the USS Carl Vinson and couldn't take leave to go home.

3) My Brother's High School graduation: I wasn't invited because they gave away all the tickets, and had no room in the car anyways if they HAD saved me a ticket.

4) The births of all 3 of my cousin Philllip's kids. Navy...

5) My brother's wedding to his awesome bride: Because my dumb ass moved to Texas because of a false promise of a job at the Hilmar Cheese factory in Dalhart.

6) One of my bestfriends (Kayla Maynard, now Kayla POLLARD) got married a few days ago. I was invited to be a bridemaid but because I have no personal time on the books, can't afford to take the time off, can't afford to pay for--> "Plane Ticket, Bridesmaid dress, hotel room, food", I was stuck here in Texas and not ab le to share in this happy moment with her. CONGRATULATIONS KAYLA   :D

PEOPLE I WORRY ABOUT AND WISH I COULD TAKE CARE OF/ SUPPORT IN THEIR TIME OF NEED:

1) My mom has been in the emergency room A LOT since I've left CA. My Step-Dad had a trip there too.

2) My grandpa Dean broke his hip and had to be put in a rehab/ old folks home.

3) My Great-Aunt Mary broke HER hip.

4) My Great-Aunt Joe fell off her porch and got banged up a good deal.

5) My grandma Patsy hurt her leg, then her back, then had to have rehab because she could hardly walk, and now she has an Anuerism in her Aorta and has to wait A MONTH AND A HALF to have surgery for it.

6) My Brother had appendicitis and his Appen..omy didn't heal well so he ended up in the hospitol again for it.

7) My Dad has had Diverticulitis for A WHILE NOW and he will finally be having surgery for it in Novermber.

8) A very close friend of mine has cervical cancer.

9) A very close friend of mine is struggling to find a job so she can support her kids and get her own place. At the same time, her fiance is in IRAQ!

10) My Great-Aunt Kay had Cataracts surgery a while ago and just had knee surgery.
