Some Rants and Raves~! Venting if you will~!

Everyone has that one thing in this world that annoys the hell out of them~! My twelve year old son will tell you his is people who state the obvious and really think they are telling you something you didn't know. So see it is quite natural to have little annoyances in this world~!..

My annoyances...

10. Teachers who think they have to explain things to a parent on the same level they would a first grader...(conversations on 02-06-09 with my 12 yr old 6Th grade LA teacher)

Me: Walks down 6Th grade hallway in search of my son who was kept after school..

Son: Enters hallway followed by teacher.... "MOM~! (hugs)

Teacher: 'Are you Ben's mother?"

Me: (thinking"DER,hence why he calls me Mom") " Yes Ma'am. Hello I am Angela,

Nice to meet you.

Teacher: Did you get a letter that you had to sign last week about Ben's project due

Monday next week.

Me: Yes I signed it and sent it back. Why

Teacher: OK you are aware of his project to be presented on Tuesday be

turned in on Monday. Its for his CPA..You do know what that is correct?

See here we have this form and its for brainstorming.He has to form a

hypothesis and write it as well as a thesis. Do you Know what those

two things are? (ME: thinking to myself Lady I am not as dumb as you look)

Me: Yes Ma'am quite familiar with both.

Ben hangs his head and grins. He knows I am famous for my smart ass comments to stupid questions. Even after that she still is going to try to explain to me what they were.. So needless to say I had to stop her. "Mrs. Eagle Beak I am well educated I have graduated college with two degrees . I think we can handle this. Ben will be well prepared for his presentation come Monday.

9. Drivers who pull out in front of me and only do 15 mph making me have to slam on brakes to keep from rear ending them.

8. People who know everything and would argue every subject with a brick wall just to appear intelligent.

7. Women drivers ! yes YOU READ THAT RIGHT~! I SAID WOMEN DRIVERS~! Women have a tendency to think they own the road and aren't very good at paying attention to one task i.e. driving but still attempt two at once talking on THE DAMN CELL PHONE~!

6. Male Drivers~! They tend to drive to aggressively and ride my ass for miles. ALL WHILE TALKING ON THE DAMN CELL PHONE~!

7. Politicians~~ They annoy the hell out of me~! Stop kissing ass and telling us what you think we want to hear . Learn to tell the truth. BE HONEST. It really isn't that hard. We are adults, we can take any bad news you have to offer and we don't need it sugar coated.

6. Nursing Home Workers~~ Apparently this is where all the dumb asses that barely graduated nursing school and passed their boards work.. They are to stupid to use their common sense. If a man has bladder cancer stage 4 and a Foley in place, common sense tells you it is not his penis bleeding with blood present in the urine collection bag as you just told the 911 operator. HELLO~! DER~!

5. Selfish people~~ The first thing we learned in play school was to share.. It really isn't all about you I promise~! Put others before yourself. Especially when its your own family.

4. Nagging~! I LOATHE nagging.. I heard you once~! I heard you even the second time~! After that you are annoying the hell out of me you defiantly won't get what you asked for ~!

3. Unsolicited Advice~! I don't want your advice I promise~! I have enough of my own and I'm not using it either~!

2. Touchy feely people.. Don't touch me unless invited to do so~! Its icky weird and it ANNOYS THE HELL OUT OF ME~!

1. TEENAGERS~! THEY ANNOY THE HELL OUT OF ME ~! THEY GET ICE AND LEAVE ONE ICE CUBE IN THE ICE TRAY SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO FILL IT UP~!

My Two Yonger Sons

One of the hardest jobs I have ever had was being a mother. I am the mother of three wonderful sons. Thier ages are 19,12,10.. David, Ben and Jacob. All great kids. God must love me because I have been blessed with three of the most wonderful children any mother could hope for.

In the picture above are my two younger ones. I think the majority I have learned at being a mother has been with these two. David was a guessing game because I was new at it all with him. By the time these two came along I was an old pro.

I have learned that with little boys all you have to do at Christmas or Birthday time is buy them anything that makes noise, has wheels, or explodes.. The older a boy gets the more expensive his toys get.

Ben is in the 6th grade and has a couple of my old teachers from middle school. Wow they were like old when i was in school so now this makes the ancient? Jacob my baby, has all new teachers. The ones who taught 4th grade when I was in elementary school have retired .. Even my first grade teacher is still alive. She is up into her late 80's and still walks 3 miles a day around town.

So I guess this means I am getting old.. OK not old just well aged~!

My Son Turns 19 Feb. 4th

My oldest son turns 19 next week. I am quite emotional about it. It was at the age of 19 I gave birth to him. Wow time flies! Happy 19th Birthday David. David is attending college and studying in the areonautics field in Air Traffic Management. He has been the perfect son. I am so absolutely proud of you son~! I love you~! Keep up the good work...

Happy 19th Birthday Son...

Thirteen years ago tomorrow my world fell apart. My oldest son was killed by a drunk driver.

Today is his birthday. He would have been 19 years old. For some reason my family has to call and remind me it's his birthday. I just say hey I know this I was in the delivery room when he was born..


It was a shock to discover I was pregnant at such a young age. I thought the biological father whom I was engaged to would love me still. Instead he turned his back on me and stated either get rid of the kid or I will walk away now. I told him see you. I was afraid being 18 years old single and pregnant but never once gave a thought to having an abortion. All I have to say to Mark W. Johnson his sperm donor is you have no clue how wonderful of a gift you gave me then. He was bright and very loving. He was my baby and I was blessed with him for 6 wonderful years. Your loss.


It was 1994 about 2:35 pm and he had just got out of school. He was traveling to his fathers house with his step mother. When I say father I am talking about the man who adopted him once we were married. They were traveling on a back road to the house when a drunk driver came over the hill top on the wrong side of the road. The truck he was driving struck them head on killing my son and almost took her and her son out with my child. My child's cause of death was cervical spine open fracture between C2 and C3 with blunt force head trauma. He never knew what happened never had to suffer and for that I will always be grateful to God above. Being a medic I have seen those who suffer long and hard lives in a vegetative state from head injuries like he sustained. I know it sounds morbid or like I didn't love him because of that statement. Please understand that once you have worked in the medical field and have seen such injuries as he had you know what happens if they do survive. My child would not of had any quality of life what so ever. He didn't suffer he didn't have to live in a shell for a body.

This song above is a song that helped me through that hard period in my life.

Stephen I love you today just as much as the day I discovered I was pregnant with you. I miss you so much son. I often wonder where you would be, what you would have looked like as a man, and the common things a mom wants to know. Your memory and time you were with me will always be with me. I can still hear your laugh and see your sweet angelic face. I love you son and miss you so much. Wish I were there to see that place. I know it must be paradise. See you soon. Wish your two youngest brothers could have met you. You would have loved them as much as you loved David. You are Always in my heart always on my mind.

A Glimpse Into My Mind.....

Imagine if you will me sitting with a very ill friend. She isnt doing so good these days. Now imagine if you will me tired from a very busy shift at EMS. Did I say this county was small in a pervious post? I thought so. It's not the locals that cause the havoc it's the folks from Florida.
Ok back to the story. My friend has liver disease. Not from alcoholism or anything she done. Just is. It happens you know. Well I stumbled into her house and let her husband go to work. I laid across the bed next to her she was especially talkative. Which usually means her toxins are high from her liver.
Ok now imagine me half asleep listening to a medium tones female voice rattle ninety miles per hour about nothing because she is out of her head. I try to be patient and kind until exasperated. I answer every question she asks unless she cuts me off mid sentence to ask another one. It gets quite comical. The majority of the questions and talk centered around death and dying. I think I will share some of these questions and answers I gave.



Q.If I am dying where will I go once I die?
A. Well depends on if you have excepted Jesus as your(interruption with another question)


Q. What's it like to die?
A. I (interruption with another question)


Q. Reckon God knows I meant well?
A. I am sure (interruption with another question)


Q. I don't mean to be sick am I going to die?
A. Not today you aren't



Q. I am not ready to go yet. You think I will know when I am going to die?
A. Not sure but I reckon you(interruption with another question)



So imagine if you will those same questions being asked around 50 times each. I finally started petting her on the head and saying relax, take deep breaths, just try to rest, oh it's going to be OK . Try to relax girl just lay there and rest try to zone. ZONE she screams. I said yes what I tend to do when you talk to much I go to the Zone and tone you out. IT was quite comical. I finally did such a wonderful job toning her out I fell fast asleep. See being a mother to boys has prepared me with the ability to zone and tone.
