Christmas

Well were do I start? My Christmas was great. I got my first loan and I had to drive to Pennsylvania just to cash it. Otherwise I had to wait 10 days which would have been after Christmas. So me mom and Sharon went to cash it. What started out as a good road trip got ugly. We ended up in a blizzard on the way back. It was beautiful up to then. I was so excited. I bought gifts and I bought myself a digital camera. I need it to start a portfolio. Plus it works for my Blog. Needless to say once I bought what I needed and had to have I ended up happy I was able to make everyone happy and I got my self some scoobies. I got to see the girls (Kenzie and Alyssa) alot these last few days.

I also got to see Noah and Zach. Faith invited us over for Christmas. Eric enjoyed it, but I think Alyssa enjoyed it most she got to sleep on Grandpa for longest time. She told me she wants to go back soon. Needless to say I had a good Christmas. Through the blizzard and the crazy last minute shoppers the Lord watched over us and for that I get to live another day. Close to my nieces and loved ones. (If I have any)! Well I suppose thats it for now. Happy Holidays and Love to you all.

Alyssa Mae

Well as most of you know, I have a new baby niece. Her name is Alyssa. She weighed 7lbs10oz, I think, and 21 inches long. She is tiny. She is very alert and I think her ears are great. She can hear you from far away. She is like kenzie in the sense she loves to be talked to and sang to. She sleeps alot. I know most babies do but she reallllly does. Kenzie likes her but still I see the jealousy. She don't like eric holing that baby. I had withdraws last week so I rode the bus up there and seen them. Then I brought kenzie home with me. She loved it. So did I . I have been cutting hair for a few days. Which is good I will need to practice and if eric keeps poping them out I will have plenty of people to work on. lol Small joke. Merry Christmas everybody and Happy New Year.

Thanksgiving

Well, not only is it Thanksgiving weekend but it is also the end of my seven weeks. Not to much longer and I will be out on the floor. Wow, I really don't think we are ready but, I guess we have to learn sometime. I am excited though. Alyssa Mae was born on Nov the 7th. She weighed 7lbs and 10''. 21 Inches long, dark hair and looks like Eric and Kenzie. I am a happy aunt the only problem being I don't see them enough. Well I will keep you posted. By the way. For anyone that reads this. On Dec 12 in the evening there is an open house at chic. Anyone that goes and participates will receive a free hair cut or manicure. So if it sounds good I will see ya there.

Week 4

Well, I have decided to see about going part time. I have hit a financial snag. When I started the school, assured us that we were going to get are loans after a month of being there. That is not the case at all. They don't plan on giving us them until April. If that is not bad enough, Carlos is moving to Colorado. He isn't making enough money here right now. So he is moving to where he can make some more money. I have to see about finding a part time job to pay for the bus or a car. So I will keep you posted.

Week Three

Well I am done with the first three weeks. I have learned so much already. I have done ok on my tests. My best was 98. I have learned how to do a fingerwave, pin curls, barrel curls, 4 different braids, dreadlocks,and lots of other things. So anyone need these things let me know. LOL Just kidding. Well I still don't have a digital so I don't have any new pictures. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing.

Week 2

Well I have been told to use proper English so here it goes. :) Week 2 is boring but yet interesting. I get bored and then I have to remember that this is one year of studying in school and then 50 years of studying on my own. I enjoy looking at hair and wondering how it was pieced together. I refuse to let my anger get in the way of things. I just have to remember to mind my p's and q's. Eric and Faith has been very supportive. My mom of course is always there. So if they can all see something in me then I need to try to hang in there a little while. At least until the dough starts rolling in. :) !!!!!

My First Week

Well day 1 started out great. We got to open our kits which took us probably 4 hours. Then we started a fingerwave. I think they are cute but not my favorite. On Tuesday I was a little bored we did more fingerwaves and then we did curling irons. They suck, they are marcels which means they are suppose to be the best and they take alot of getting used to. Wed we had a test, on history. not my favorite subject. Thursday we learned how to do alot of things. We had a different teacher because they want us to meet all the instructors now so we dont feel weird later. My teacher on thursday was great. I learned more on thursday then I did all week with the other teacher. Everyone in class felt the same way. We don't want to make our regular teacher feel bad but we really dont like her teaching methods. On friday she was once again our teacher (crap). Friday we took another test on diseases and infections and bacterias. I know I aced that one. So my week was really hard and difficult but I managed to deal with it. I don't like any of the other students. They are mean and selfish, but hey I am not there for them I am there to learn my best, so I can have a career. The worst part of my week was they told us we might not get our money till April. So I am bummed out about that. Hopefully we can convince them to give it to us sooner. So stay posted till next time. Thanks for reading, If you even do, the only one who ever comments is Faith. So thanks for your support.

First Day

Well, I got up and had some orange juice and some cereal. Got on the bus and went to school. When I got there there was a million things wrapped up on the tables and a huge box on the floor. We were opening are things till 1pm. We were in trouble, where were we gonna put all this stuff? I wasn't as bad as some because I knew I had sharon to help me. We had to organize and man was it crazy. I also had to label all my stuff with a H. We had homework the first day. Imagine that. All and all it was a great day. The only bad thing is there is no fridge, so we can't really bring a lunch. So I am stuck with not eating all day till I get home. Well I would love to stay and chat some more but I got to leave for school. HEHEHE! Thanks to anyone who has helped me in the past few weeks. I will leave another blog soon to keep you posted but for the time being I'm out of here.

Orientation

Well last night I went to orientation. I got my shirts and what not. They took are picture for a calendar they are doing as part of a fund raiser. Also if you go to the Standale one, the students are paying a dollar to wear jeans and another dollar to wear a pink shirt. I might give them the money to support the fund raiser but I don't wanna wear a pink shirt. The cause is great though. All the people of hurricane Katrina got the help originally now they give it to children that have been hurt or abused. You know me mention kids and you got a sucker already. LOL! I can't help but feel guilty. The director is my old friend from church. When I was little she drove the bus that took us home. So she always comes over to me talking and the other people say they never knew she was a talker. I guess she don't talk to everyone. I start Monday,Wow already. We really don't have to many rules. Just that we need to be there as much as possible. I guess next Saturday it is going to be open. She said they will give us 5 extra hours if we go. Well I'm sorry I don't have any pictures so far I haven't got a digital camera. I am going to buy one soon and then I will probably have to many. LOL!. Wish me luck everyone.

A week left to go.

I am getting down to the nitty gritty. I keep wondering if I will do ok, or if I will choke. I'm usually pretty good in school, but I am a goof after all. I thought my party would have made my nerves better. That dint work. I thought everything would turn out nice, but thats what I get for thinking. So now I have to rely on my mom and everyone else out there who is very helpful at this time. Even uncle pat pulled through for me. Don't worry I wont tell anyone you really have a heart of gold. I wouldn't want anyone thinking that about me either. LOL! Well to all that came thanks and to all those that made my day thank you very much.

Less then 2 weeks

Well I have less than two weeks before I start school. I'm still nervous but I have gotten over it for the most part. I am looking forward to it actually. For one it is something to do. I am always stuck in the house, with nothing to do. So this will give me a chance to breath a little bit. As for everything else Jen is getting big. Not quite as big as my cousin Danny though. She is very close to her d-day. Eric is excited. They bought Mckenzie a doll so she can get used to having a baby around. She likes the baby and gives the baby kisses but the second Eric tries to lay the baby by him she goes over kisses the baby and flings it across the room. So she likes the baby but she don't like sharing Dad. So we will see how everything goes. I told my mom maybe this way we will have Kenzie often to allow them a break. LOL

Going crazy

Well I think I'm officially going crazy. I am finally enrolled and am awaiting orientation and I am ready to jump out of my skin. I am so excited. I bought my shoes, now I'm breaking them in. I am getting down to the wire here. Mom is giving me a party for my graduation and going to college all in one. On sept. 29 at 1:00pm. I hate when things are for me. I am not someone who likes being in the spot light. Oh well she feels it is her motherly duty to do it. I would do it for my child just the same. Well I'm glad my day is finally coming. Now I have to start getting my butt to bed and in a rhythm. I have been losing weight but I don't have a scale I need to buy one. I can feel I lost more but I cant see it, and it is driving me nuts not being able to tell. Well thanks for listening be careful you guys don't turn out to be as crazy as I am listening to me. LOL

My Goal(s)

Where do I start? I love to many things. I love cooking but my plates are not professional. I hate recipes, I like doing things my way. I love teaching. I honestly would love to be around little kids. Teaching them what I can. In reality it isn't teaching them that I love, I just love being around children. I at this point in my life am not ready to go to school for such a long period of time. I figure my best option is to go to cosmetology school, why I am there I am going to start going to church. I will see about helping out the nursery's. So then I got 2 of my dreams out of the way. Here at home I got a house full to feed if I get the urge to cook. So that said and done I finally see that Gods plan for me is great. I am gonna be able to do all the things I love and still, be able to say I can look to the future. Eventually when I get settled in and I save enough money I am going to adopt a international child. I might just adopt a whole orphanage. LOL My humor sorry. I have such big plans with my life but I know that with God on my side and My family supporting me anything is possible. So everyone pray for me that I get the chance to live all my dreams and that some day I will have my own children even if they are mine only through Gods will. Thank you.

I'm so excited

Guess what everybody I am starting college on 10/8/07. I went today and got my grants. Everything worked out great. I got more than I thought I would get and I don't have to pay it all back. I have a small portion to pay back six months after I graduate and that is it. I am so excited I just cant wait. I have wanted this for so long and now I finally got my chance. So let me know you saw it and write back to me. Please Please Please. Thank you and Love you all.

School

Wow all the little children are back in school. Yeah! Sorry. I think it is nice they are back to school. Not just for us but this way they get to spend time away with their friends. I have been trying for a week to get back into school. Those goofs are horrible. I have called probably 10 times this week. They are having troubles because they just switched owners. They are suppose to call me back. From what they said the new class start the first week of oct, so I need to get a move on. Well for all the children who went back to school. Nah Nah. For us adults peace. I'm just kidding I know as bad as we all wait for the day they leave and go to school, we can't seem to function without them.

Nothing New

My week was boring. I have lost 7 lbs in the last 3 weeks. I plan on losing lots. I am working out on my glider and I started walking with Sharon. I gave up my pop for the most part. BOO HOO. Carlos went fishing and got poison ivy. He is just as bad as a little kid. He has scratched them so bad they have spread all over. He better not give me that crap. LOL. I am looking for a good church. If anyone knows of one nearby let me know. Sorry I dont have pictures. I still havent gotten a digital yet. Well see ya next time.

My Day At The Tigers Game

We got our tickets at the last minute. Me my mom my uncle pat and his wife Cindy all went. Oh and my brother Alex. We all went down there in my uncles car. First we had to go buy aunt cindy a hat. We all had our Detroit tigers hat, she was the only one that didn't have one. So uncle pat bought her one. Then we realized we dint have the tickets. So good thing for us we were 2 minutes from the house. We came back and got them and we were off. We stopped in Ionia to have chinese food for lunch. Anyone that knows mom knows she hates chinese. So we had to listen to her bickering. Uncle pat even started being a cracker. I thought it was fine. The place was run down but the food was ok. So we started again for Detroit. When we arrived I was still amazed, even though it wasn't my first time I just couldn't help but standing in amazement. Me mom and alex have been before, but uncle pat and cindy had not been before. So we took them around to show them things.
I was a little worried to begin with because I knew we were playing the yankees. (losers) I dislike them very much. My fear was soon noted as ease. We won that game 16-0. They got three little hits that dint amount to anything. 16-0 is bad but but against the yankees that is un heard of. It's just Awesome. So we came back and slept like babies knowing we just whooped their butts.
I know I was excited before the game began. I walked to the entrance to find they were giving away chef hats. (Awesome) Then as I was walking to go see the tigers batting practice I found a ball, that had been carried into the stands by one of the tigers. I was so excited to see some of them off the recovery list I wasn't paying attention and I a ball was coming right at my face. I heard someone yell and I look up as Zumaya quick throws his glove up and save me. I was probably a foot away from being killed or atleast in the hospital for a while. So thank you Zumaya and thank you lord for taking care of me always.
Mom was a blast. She seen Granderson and asked him for a ball. He threw her one. She thanked him and he pointed to her, as if to say your welcome. She loved it. One of our favorite people took the time to make a little old woman happy. For that memory she has nothing will compare. Until next time that is.

Heidi (me)

I am 22 yrs old and I have short black hair. I just chopped it all off. I have some kind of skin irritation on the back of my neck. When my hair is wet it rubs the skin right off. So I decided to chop it off and since I have not had nearly as much trouble as I did before. I have dark eyes. I am a big girl. I dint used to be but after awhile I guess I just dint care. I have been working on it though. It is just hard because for the little I lose I get some back and more. Lately I have been doing fine, I gave up my pop (whaaaaa) and am drinking water, plus I have been working out on my glider. I have big feet, i wear a 10 or 11. I bite my nails which is a dirty habit that I cant break. I dont smoke, I might drink on a special event or something. I love the Detroit Tigers, In soccer I love Brazil. I used to love the chicago bulls but after they lost jordan and all my other guys I gave up basketball. I have always been a tom boy. Never big on dresses. I wear make up once in awhile only cause I dont want people to think I am a complete dude. (lol)
Mostly I am Fun and loveable.

Life

Well I don't know what is going on with this crazy life, everybody is being cruel to one another. Some people are innocent why many are guilty of this hatefulness. I am a Christian though I do not attend church regularly I still have my beliefs. I try to do my best as I know I know I am a very bad sinner. I am trying to find a church close to me. The ones I have found are pathetic. Nothing Christian about them.
Many days I get sick to my stomach to see some of the children who have been injured or died because their parents don't give a damn. I know time from time something might happen, for example a baby might fall or get scraped up. No body is super mom that I know of, but I do think when you have no idea where your child is and they are seriously hurt that is horrible. I wish God would give me all the children that are unwanted. I wish I could afford to buy a huge school, Then instead of classes I would have a huge orphanage, filled with love and understanding. I would have so many kids I would never be able to leave them for I would fall in love with each and every one of them. Children are one of my passions, So why the world disregards them so I don't know. In my perfect world no child would go unloved and even the older children without family's would be welcome.
I know I am a dreamer but I refuse to give up hope. I plan on adopting as soon as I get situated with all my current dreams. Only God knows how long that will be.

Kenzie

Well I suppose I should start with her growing up. She has almost all her teeth. She will be 8 months old on the 30th. She is taking steps now. She is a chunky baby. But not unhealthy. She loves her daddy. She loves her mommy too but her daddy is number 1. Auntie Heidi is number 2 (I wish).She is getting so naughty. If jen dont give her what she wants she grunts and makes faces. She is precious, Eric bought her a elephant but she just likes eating the trunk. I will keep you posted.

My Mom

Where do I begin. I was little when my mom and dad split, They both remarried afterwards. My dad married Faith, and my mom married Ray. I never really cared for her husband. I always blame it on one thing or another but honestly I always thought my mom deserved better. She raised all of us by herself. She got child support but really she did it on her own. She never complained about how she was left the hardest part. See lots of people are parents but very few get to say they raised 5 children all by themselves and they turned out fine. We prolly wont be doctors but we will value what were dealt with. She has tried her best and I am PROUD of her. I won't tell her that but she knows it. With everything she had to do for us and still enjoy life like she does I can only thank God she was my mother. She means a lot to me, I just wish I could be a mother and teach my child the same values and morals.

My Husband

This was the first man I ever loved. I was 10 yrs old when I met him. I told my mom then I was gonna marry him someday. At 12 he finally gave me my first kiss. I loved it. I know I was young but unlike most people I don't regret nothing. Eventually we became serious in our relationship. We enjoyed being with each other. We went for walks, we went to the movies almost every weekend.
Eventually mom caught on to it and boy was she angry. She even went as far as telling my dad. She lied to him about a few of the details. Truth be told at that point I was innocent on most of the things she accused me of doing. Dad was pretty angry, I don't know why. That whole ordeal just made it worse. I knew he loved me and I was determined now more than ever we should be together. When I was 15 mom finally gave me the go ahead. At my 16 birthday he had planned to ask me to marry him. He wanted to ask my dad for permission but dad wouldn't even talk to him much less anything else. So as soon as dad left he asked me to marry him. I was so excited. At 17 I was married. I am now Heidi Chacon. After a year of marriage, we finally parted. He wanted to leave michigan and then go to Guatemala. So I decided not to leave my family. We talked a lot until he left for guatemala. Up until he left we remained good friends. I still think of him often. I heard he is a father now. Which is something I could have never givin him. I know he is happy and I know God put him in my life so I would have faith that there are good things in this world you just have to keep a look out. I dont know what lyes ahead for him or I, but I do know that if he or I ever need one another we will both be there.

My Graduation

It all started when I was 8. I got my first womanly visit and as much as I dint want it I got it. The problem was, being I was only 8 my body couldn't cope with the change. So this is why I am unable to have children. A horrible loss as anyone who knows me knows I love children. I used to be real sour about it. In high school I bled so bad I had no choice but to drop out. They wouldn't allow me to be home schooled. They said I had to deal with it. The problem was I bled 30 days out of a month, had a day off or two and right back at it again. They put me on birth control to stop it and instead of a month I bled 2 weeks. I went on like this until I was able to say I wasn't doing it anymore. I dropped out and started working. Finally I was bored and now that I'm older I haven't bled as horribly as before. So I thought I would surprise my mom. I went and took the first test and passed. So I knew I was going back. They wouldn't let me get my diploma because I had missed a lot of school. So I had to settle with a GED. I dint like the idea but they assured me it is as good as a diploma. So I went back in Sept of 06 and I finished so fast they wouldn't let me out. I had to wait till count day. So the day after count day I took my final test and I was done. I had to wait till jun of 07 to graduate. I got it and was happy with my achievement. As soon as I can I plan on going to chic university. My mom was happy for me finally, I did something to please her and not be disappointed in doing so.

My Family

WOW! I have a big family. I have something like 23 aunts and uncles. Almost all of them are on my mom's side. I have 3 sisters, 2 of which are here with me and 1 that died along time ago. Both Sara (15) and Briana (9) are fun loving and pain in the butts. The age tells all. As for Emily she would have been 21 almost 22.
I have 5 brothers, 1 of them I see every once in awhile. The last time I seen him was probably 3 or 4 years ago. He is 18 or 19. Then I have Eric (20) Alex (13) Noah (7) and Zachary (4).
I don't get to see all of my brothers as often as I would like. Both Noah and Zachary are growing up so fast and I am missing so much, but life isn't fair. Someday I think we will get passed this stage.

My niece Mckenzie

Well My first niece was born Nov 30th 2006. She was long awaited. After 30 hours in labor her mother (Jennifer) was told she was gonna have a c- section. So that was a pretty fast procedure. Finally I got to hold my niece. How somebody could give life to something so small and fragile, I don't know.
The very first night home from the hospital I was asked to keep my niece for the night. My brother (Eric) was sick from working outside and (Jen) wanted to be with him. I was excited to be with the baby. Not to long after Mckenzie was born Eric and Jen moved out and got their own place. I try to see her as often as possible. Not sure if it is enough but I'm only the aunt.
