I am absolutely terrible at doing this bloG. So much changes in such short time. I have a new job, and a new niece (tomorrow) I'm at a place in my life where things are starting to fall into place, but for some unknown reason things don't seem right. I feel confused about my life which is ridiculous. Maybe its a phase, maybe its an age thing I'm not sure. I feel like I don't belong or as though I don't fit in any where ..which is also ridiculous because who waits 25 years to start feeling that way. & if anyone is actually reading this they probably think I'm depressed, but that's not the case either. I'm hoping that it is just that over whelming anoint of stress I'm feeling right now. I do this thing where I analyze people and things, Brandon likes to blame it on the degree I'm obtaining but that's not the problem ive always done it. However I have begun (began--english is clearly not my major!) To do it worse more now than ever and maybe it is because this dumb class I am taking right now. Never the less I'm starting to drive myself nuts because I'm a moron and cant stop analyzing people! Which results in me over thinking stuff and then it gets to me and I cause a problem that never should have been caused. Right now my life and I are ridiculous ... bless my heart! Haha. Maybe some sleep and a break from college and life is good and calm again...and I will introduce myself to some sleep again. Between work and college ive really started to miss sleep!! That is all. :) Everyone is posting the 30 things they are thankful for on instagram and facebook and I haven't done that either so here I go now: 1) I'm thankful for my parents 2) I'm thankful for my beautiful sister 3) I'm thankful for my rotten niece 4) I'm thankful for my niece that will be here tomorrow :) 5) I'm thankful for my brother in law 6) I'm thankful for Brandon 7) I'm thankful for my job 8) I'm thankful for my amazing Nike tennis shoes because 16 hour shifts are terrible 9) I'm thankful for my health 10) I'm thankful to have a God who loves me unconditionally 11) I'm thankful for friends 12) I'm thankful that I have a roof over my head 13) I'm thankful for the pay check I get every two weeks, many people are unemployed 14) I'm thankful I will graduate college in May 15) I'm thankful for those who have offered me jobs for when I graduate 16) I'm thankful for my amazing grandparents 17) I miss my mammaw Charlene but I'm thankful for the time I had with her 18) I'm thankful God finally allowed my sister to have babies 19) I'm thankful for the personality God gave me . 20) I'm thankful for every morning that I wake up 21) I'm thankful that fall is finally here 22) I'm thankful that I get to spend the holidays with my family 23) I hate my hair, but I'm thankful I have it and can donate it 24) I'm thankful for those who protect me at work 25) I'm thankful I'm surviving when things around me are falling apart 26) I'm thankful for answered prayers 27) I'm thankful for the heat in my house 28) I'm thankful this sleeping medicine I took is starting to kick in 29) which reminds me, I'm thankful to have a bed to sleep in 30) I'm thankful that I have more than 30 things to be thankful for That is allllll ....

im a slacker

Holy Moly!! It's been almost a year since the last time I was on here! Mostly because I just now figured out the dumb password!! Update....

Sweet Isabel Jade is now a year old and there is a new baby on the way! :)

ha! Blog again next year!

Isabel :)

Bless My Heart..

WOAHHH.. OK so I'm just going to throw this out here I absolutely stink at this blog thing i forgot my password, i forget to post, i forget to read other people's post! Ahhh! Where am I going with this story?... i forgot!





I think I'm just going to hit the high spots of life that have happened since Jan.





I got a new house...YAYAYA for no more apartments!! Gag it was time to leave that place. This house will work for now.





Ash had her baby finally :) Isabel Jade. 9lbs 11oz. My sister thinks that's big or something. :) Just kidding.
I give her major props she had her natural, she was a chunk! After 10 days in NICU they are home and doing very good now.
Isabel may beg to differ because someone is always taking her picture...she will hate cameras when she gets older.




Brandon and I got a jeep. Idk if that's exciting or not b/c its just another payment that has to be made. VOMIT!!!!


I've started trying this coupon thing! And i would like to tell you how fun i think it is but right now I think it is just a whole lot of stressful!!! Grr!! I do not know how the people on "Extreme Couponing" do it! I often feel like I'm getting ripped off. I gotta buy 2 boxes of something to save a $1.00. hmmm maybe its just me but I feel like I have NOT saved any money what so ever when I have to pay $8.00 for two boxes of something to only take a $1.00 off. If someone would like to explain to me how I'm getting a bargain i would love to know. :) I'm open for any suggestions!
I have no intentions to get all crazy with this coupon thing or flip out on the cashier when he/she tells me I made a mistake and only ended up with 79 bottles of Maalox instead of 80, so i could save that whopping $10.00. I have no desire to look like a hoarder, or have 7528578456569 boxes of out of date food in my cabinets because there is only 2 people at my house! And last but not least i do not want to have my own mini Wal-mart, I'm only asking to save some money!





I seem to like to follow the trend or some kind of crap like that because now.. I did the whole feathers in my hair thing. At first I stressed about it since I work at the high school, and i thought I might be told old for to do it, turns out my really good friend has like 20 in her hair no joke and it looks super cute so i let her talk me into getting some. Plus I'm not much older than a lot of the kids here in school. So i figured oh well! SO yep I have feathers now. I'm not going to lie i love them to. I put mine where they could show or they could be hid. It's really the best of both worlds. :)
Korrine you are welcome for introducing you to the feathers!




As for now that's all the rambling I'm going to do. I will put some pictures on here! :) It's not like my sister and mom haven't already posted pics of her, but I'm about to add some more!

- Jodi

hello world..

Wow, Long time!

I forgot the password, therefore i havent logged on in forever! LOTS of stuff to update on... but im just going to hit the important one....

Im going to be an aunt.. April 17, 2011. Isabel Jade Patillo, we have waited forever, for you little girl it's finally going to happen! :) yaya!

I have a job, that i LOVE, i actually enjoy getting up and going to work! :) So for that i would like to thank the crackwhore who tried her hardest to screw things up for me. Things didn't exactly work out in your favor did they!


ps- i have the weekend to myself, i think ill go do something for myself. It'll be a nice change!

Amused

So i reactivated my facebook for the first time in a long time and i find where this pothead crack whore writes all this stuff about me, because she knows i shut mine down. At first I'm irritated bad, then i got to thinking if you are 33 years old and you have to get on facebook and make up a bunch of stuff to make a 22 year old look bad you need a life bad, i mean seriously she thinks she accomplished something by getting me fired and all she did was make everyone say "well Jodi that's what you get when you mess with someone on drugs, there is no help for her" and EVERYONE in her family took my side. AWESOME! So pretty much everything she doing to make me look bad, is turning right around on her. My favorite part is where she says " good luck finding a job, and you know i will hurt you' hahahahaha!

Even though i was upset about it i got to thinking, i was right, she knows i was right, everyone knew i was the one telling the truth, and i can go to sleep at night knowing i did the right thing, so if that makes me lose my job, that's fine. I'm struggling with money, but i had rather deal with that than deal with the thought of something happening to those kids because i kept my mouth shut. She is the one who has to live with what she did, and although she is acting like she did nothing wrong she knows she did. I also noticed where she said a bunch of stuff about me and since she got me fired she has not been getting any sleep. Anyone find that a little ironic?

With all that being said, i heard from a very good friend who i hadn't heard from in years, and she said something that really made me think about life and everything that happened, which made my mood so much better, so for that Thank you! I'm going to enjoy the rest of the day with My dad and Brandon, and nothing is going to bother me, but thanks for trying pothead, your awesome!

whoooosh! :)

I'm behind. Time to catch up, in case someone actually reads this. lol.

Thursday B and I went to his parents house, it was just boys and me (his mom was out of town) i was a little out numbered, but it was fun we worked on T's race car most of the night, just chilled out for awhile it was a long drive. Friday was INSANE, we headed to Branson and as you might guess there was 7187184969346 people there and traffic was crazy, so we took this back road thinking we would speed things up, umm not so much! A younger lady had ran off the road and about a mile later was way up in the bushes after knocking down a bunch of cedar trees, we stayed there until the ambulance and stuff got there. CRAZY! After all that we finally made it to the hotel, and i thought since there isn't a million people in the pool ill go swim, once word got around that B and I were swimming every little boy in the C/R family dove in. Poor B, they were hanging from his arms, and neck. I spent 4 hours out there with the girls and all the babys and completely fried myself. Good start for the weekend.

Saturdays agenda: An early breakfast with the family at golden corral, and half of us ended up deathly sick...iiiccckk not good. B&I did a little shopping, swimming, napping, swimming, shopping. Patiently waiting for 6 to roll around so that we could go to SDC. We all had this clever idea that going at night time was going to be awesome, hahahaha 16,000 people had that same idea, so every ride consisted of at least a 1 hour wait. Not so awesome. We ran into J&J, K&R so we decided since lost river needs 6 for the tube we will ride it together, we got soaked! Then the American plunge, so normally 6 people can fit easy in the log, right? We put 6 in the log and 4 of the 6 were over 6'2''. after like 5 minutes of rearranging we finally crammed into it, the lady says no rocking the boat and cracks up, apparently rocking the boat is not an option when you are crammed in there. Then she assures me that jaws of life will untangle all of us so we can get out if needed. we are cruising right along before the crazy drop off and Everyone standing on the sides are giggling, no one can figure out why, i lean around to look because i was in the back seat of the boat, it was because when we past them it looked like we had a boat full of legs, that's all you could see. Hilarious! Anyways we fly off the top, and K bends down so the water would miss her, hit R right in the face and he screamed like a little girl, " i need a friggin snorkel". haha!
