Guess where I am blogging from? My brand new android phone! I still can't even believe it!! So on Wednesday my mom called me and said that my sister and I needed to come meet her at the at&t store for a new phone which we were happy about because our phones are old and have problems! Little did we know she bought us the brand new Android that had just been released on Valentines day and to top it off she got an unlimited texting plan! It also came with a media plan with a WiFi connection! We have been having the best time the last 2 days!! Downloading apps., surfing and texting! It is awesome! Anyone wanting an awesome phone should definitely get an Android! All I can say is I-who??
I LOVE MY MOM! :)

When The Moon Hits Your Eye
Pizza.
How can a one five letter word describe a holiday soo well? Well let's put it in perspective! How many people celebrate Valentines day to the caliber that my family does? This holiday is as extensive to our family as Thanksgiving and Christmas are to others!! Let me set the table for you! You are sitting in your seat and looking in front of you you see a plate laden with Valentines goodies! This year is chocolates, a gorgeous ring and new socks!! Next to your plate in a big ol' margarita glass filled with strawberry daiquiri just waiting to be slurped up! Also next to your plate is a cute little dish filled with chocolate pudding and whipped cream topped with chocolate hearts!! As you are sitting there resisting the temptation to eat your pudding before dinner you smell it!! PIZZA!! The traditional heart shaped pizza of valentines day! You have chosen to top it with bbq chicken this year instead of traditional pepperoni and judging by the smell of chicken and cheese assualting your nose you know that it was a good choice! The timer goes off and your grab your plate and hoist it in the air waiting for the familiar weight of the yearly delicasey! There it is! You lower it to just below eye level and take it in! The beautiful browned crust, the gooey cheese and the little specks of sauce poking out the edge! You dig in, careful not to repeat prior years experiences when you burn your mouth from impatience, and chew it slowly. AMAZING! Every thought in your mind is now focused on that pizza and nothing else! You eat till you feel close to bursting knowing what doesn't get eaten is tomorrow's lunch! Then turn your sights on the creamy pudding! Small enough portion to not take up much space! Just when you think you couldn't place another piece of food in your mouth you realize something!! I haven't eaten a chocolate strawberry yet!!! You grab one and examine it closely. Perfectly covered with just the right amount of chocolate! Starting to ooze the delicious syrup that the strawberries produce! You start by licking the syrup off! Savoring the taste that only a strawberry can create! Satisfied that you have removed every trace you take your first bite! Heaven!! That is what Heaven would taste like if you could eat it! You remain on cloud 9 for 3 strawberries and then after savoring every last bite you return back to the earth!
Gone is then need for flowers and teddy bears! All you need is Pizza and a couple strawberries dipped in chocolate!
That is Valentines Day for my family and we wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING! :]

Super Brawl XLV!!
Geez! Who would have thought that Super Bowl Day would turn into Super Brawl Day?! Not me that's for sure! So over the last year my mom and I have been butting heads! But on Sunday everything bowled over!
We have been put in a hard spot over the last little while! She is working to support the family after my stepdad left and my sister and I had been home essentially raising our little brother and taking household needs under our belts! Now that our brother is starting school my mom has been pushing job searching onto us! There are just a couple problems with that! 1) We can't both get jobs together so it will take a little time. 2) We only have one car to share. 3) We have to work our schedules around making sure we have someone home when our little brother is home from school. 4) We are far enough away from other towns that paying for driving isn't worth the pay we would get. 5) We are in the middle of a flippin recession in a town that has 1/2 the jobs required for the amount of people living here!! What more can she expect us to do!? The only jobs available require you to either have a college degree, biligual abilities or experience pertaining to the job! The first two I do not have and the third how the crap do I get that experience if you won't hire me so I can learn?!
So now we are stuck at home searching for jobs along with the rest of the towns population hoping that we will happen to beat out someone else for a job!! Meanwhile we have to hear about our "lack of effort" everyday of our lives from our mom! How is this fair? I have given up 4 years of my life to raise your child, clean your house and make your food and now all of a sudden none of that matters and I am just a moocher? Yeah Thanks for that!
I hate fighting with my mother! I hate having to say things that might make her sad or mad! She is my mother! BUT when you are beat down everyday for putting your best effort into your everyday life something in you starts to break! Be it self esteem or self control I do not know! But there hits a point when you cannot take it anymore and you have to stick your neck on that chopping block and hope that the words coming out of your mouth will still the axe for at least a little while longer!
