Life Gave Me Lemons by the Truck Loads

So I know that it has been since August of last year since I wrote anything and I can apologize enough for not posting but Life has not been so kind.

My roommate let us know he was moving out so I had to return to the work force. Then it turns out that he is not moving out so yeah. On top of it my apartments rent went up to a crazy amount. On April 1, 2016 I was told i have a tumor and a condition known as Acoustic Neuroma. We had to take my daughter out of daycare a month after we put her in it because we can no longer afford it thanks to my medical bills. Its been hell.  As I said Life Gave Me Lemons by the Truck Loads, Now i just need some Tequila to go with them. Sorry for the short update. will try to be more Diligent.

Also please check out my new blog documenting my Journey with Acoustic Neuroma: http://christianiasanjourney.blogspot.com/

It Been Awhile...But Im hanging In There

Ive know its been a horrendously long time since I've been on here and I could give you a dozen reasons why, but suffice it to say life just got in my way. Madison is 3 almost 4 and things haven't changed all that much really. I'm still a stay at home Mother whose only escape comes in the form of the books I desperty cling too and when Madison takes a nap. I'm writing this on my tablet because in all honesty, I just don't feel like breaking out my lap top.

Above everything else I'm relishing in diffrent ways Madison has grown. She is so full of life. I keep having to talk myself out of finding a way to put her in a plastic bubble and keeping her there forever, knowing truthfully I could never do that. As much as I love her she also drives me nuts. Lately she's been going through this hypersenitive phase where she cries at the drop of a hat. It makes me so upset sometimes because I can't get her to calm down. Those are the days whers I count the minutes down till my Husband comes home.

My wonderful husband. Heaven knows where I would be 90% of the time if it wasn't for him. He is the one person who keeps me sane when I feel like I'm going to rip my hair out, which is alot these days.

All in all, I'm hanging in there. I know this isn't much of an update but I promise I'll write more when I have a chance.

Planning for Disney

Okay so I realize that I have not been on here for awhile but things have been kinda nutty. I have so wrapped up in planning a Family trip to Walt Disney World. When I plan something I work on it for months trying to find the best deal and to make sure that I have my whole itinerary worked out so that everything goes out without a hitch! I swear I have flow charts going on, along with list and time charts.  My Husband I have been cuponing our butts off saving for this trip and with tax time just around the corner things just seem perfect!. It is going to be our Daughters First Disney Trip! We are so excited that we are even splurging on a Dining Plan so we can do Character Dining at Cinderellas Castle and Character Dining at Hollywood and Vine Restaurant in Hollywood Studios with the Disney Jr. Cast. I am so excited that we are even getting t-shirts made. Our whole trip is only costing $1400.00 that's with Park tickets, hotel, and the Dining plan. With additional extras and money put back for incidentals my whole budget runs $2700 Which is better then what I was expecting. Sometimes Disney Vacations can run almost $6000, but with the special deals and the fact that Im a Florida resident I have managed to bring that number down significantly. Well Anyways Im rambling on so im just going to stop right here for now and talk to you all later!

TAKING A TIME OUT!

Ok so I know that it has been a while since I have posted anything but I have been one busy busy woman. The Holiday season is always busy for me. All through October I was taking my Daughter to a bunch of Tick or Treating and Fall Festivals. November is also the month for all my Birthdays, I have a ton of family members that are born in either November or December. If i disappear again for a little bit I am sorry. I haven't even had the chance to do my 30 day Pinterest challenge.  Hopefully I won't be disappearing to much. I know when December rolls around I might not be on here as much as I would like.

Well Im am going to just leave it here for now and keep it short and sweet. I still got Mommy Duties that need taken care of.

Lack Of Sleep Leads to Zombification

I'm going to make this short. It has been about 3 weeks since I have actually had a decent nights sleep. I've been going sleep around 3am and then waking up for no bloody reason at 5am and am not able to get back to sleep. Now it's not like a choose to not got sleep till 3am, its just for some odd reason I cant. I've tried everything, from taking dose's of Benadryl, to taking sleeping pills and nothing works.  Lack of sleep has made me irritable and almost zombie like. I'm so Zombified that I'm afraid that someone is going to try and shoot me through the head. I think Urban Dictionary hit the nail on the head with their definition.

Zombified:

A.) When you wake up feeling so crappy, you walk around moaning and dragging your feet. A result of either being hungover or just not being a morning person. B.) In the state of extreme exhaustion. You are so completely tired that your eyes burn, your head aches, and your mouth hangs open. You are Zombified if you are in such a state.

I am an insomniac but this crap is getting to outta hand. I need my sleep and I cant function and take care of my Daughter if I dont get any sleep. I've taken passing out on the couch after my Daughter gets up in the morning. ugh. Well since my Daughter is passed out right now I think I'm going to join her and catch up on some sleep or atleast try to anyways.

I Need Masculism – a slam poem from Tumblr

Okay My Friend Ariel posted this poem that she got from tumblr on Facebook and I just had to share with you all. 

I Need Masculism – a slam poem.

I need masculism because we exist
Deep within the bowels of the matriarchy’s iron fist
And the tears of millions of friendzone-ees everywhere
Could fill the rivers and effectively end any water shortage

I need masculism because men have body issues too
And there aren’t enough low-cal, low-fat, 
And general diet products
Marketed towards men!
And the beauty product industry? Ha!
Men age too, feminist scum!
Where are the men’s collagen creams?
Where is the men’s makeup section?
Where are the Spanx for men?
This is the female gaze-driven
Society we’re talking about here!

I need masculism because
Countless numbers of my Nice Guy brethren
Are fighting an endless fight to escape
The seventh circle of hell (AKA the friendzone)
Through countless good deeds and favors
And they don’t even get their penises stroked.

I need masculism because girls have cooties
And they should be thankful 
That I’m willing to touch them
In the first place.
I fully believe that consent is out-dated
Since mr-cappadocia said it’s rooted
In a woman’s desire for an A+ mate
And anyway, after all,
Would you rather hear me yell,
“Nice tits, baby!”
Or “saggy-tittied-hairy-legged-bitch,”
From the window of my mom’s Ford Probe?
“Nice tits” is clearly a complement.
You ungrateful empowered bitches.

I need masculism because
Men are marginalized in nearly everything
TheAmazingAtheist
Isn’t a respected public official 
On social issues.
And because
Those who don’t prioritize my problems OVER theirs
Are disgusting reverse-sexists.

I need masculism because I should be allowed
To force the abortion of my baby
Even though the pregnancy is taking place
In a body that isn’t mine
And I had unprotected sex fully aware
Of the potential consequences

I need masculism because all these women
Think I’m not qualified to make laws
About their bodies due to my lack of a vagina.
I think one of my favorite politicians once said
“You don’t have to own a car
To know how to fill up, amirite?”
-Probably Rick Perry or Todd Akin
(who knows, who cares?
I’m too busy fighting the matriarchy to fact-check.)

I need masculism because men are
Supposed to be strong
But this is a woman’s world,
And the women of the world
Can easily break my masculinity
By contaminating anything I touch with their girl cooties
And that’s clearly misandry, right?
There’s a reason we don’t want you
To touch our video games.

I need masculism because there are more
Incarcerated men
Than there are women,
And Orange is the New Black
Oppresses me
And clearly ignores the demographics at hand.
But if someone made a show
More accurate, like say,
About women in the kitchen entitled
Mustard is the New Mayonaise 
The producers would have ludicrous insults thrown at them
Like, “sexist pig!” or “backwards misogynist!”

I need masculism because the NSA
Has ignored my please to monitor the friendzoning females
And the great and manipulative injustice the brought upon
49% of Americans everyday.
Some bullcrap about “more serious problems,”
Like “terrorism” ooOOOooh, or
“Drug cartel” oooOOOOoooooOOOh, or
“International espionage that could threaten the safety of our nation!”
Big fucking deal. 
I have an unappeased boner and an unmade sandwich, here!
Get your priorities straight
And wake the hell up, America.

But most importantly,
I need masculism because my
Black-and-white pinstripe fedora
Doesn’t match
The orange Cheeto dust in my neckbeard.
