Kids Academy Apps: Fun and Educational!

COMMENTS


The girls had fun tracing the letters on this app, but I noticed once they get about halfway through or a third of the way through it, it locks up and freezes and I have to cancel it out and reload it again to which the girls have to start over. It frustrates them and me so hopefully they fix this bug issue. Otherwise, it's a great learning game with vivid attention grabbing colors and graphics which in turn makes learning fun!




I love this app because it has a Montessori style of learning and provides both reading and writing, as well as fun games such as word rhyming and mazes. Very intuitive and gives the girls hands on learning without the help of the parents. Even if the girls don't get it right the first time, the voice interaction lets them know they did a good job and to try again, which makes them eager to get it correct.


 

One of my nieces liked clicking on the farm animals to hear sounds and what they were, but she quickly grew tired of that and switched to the B-I-N-G-O song to sing along to. She enjoyed that a lot better, but still didn't grab her attention like the other Smart Academy Apps. Overall, a very cute app, just didn't entertain the 3 year old like I thought it would as she wanted to switch back.

So it was Friday, May 2nd, 2014 and i was still a little concerned about me not having my period. My boyfriend wasn't too worried about it since I freak out every month when my period doesn't come the day I think it should come. I was talking to my sister earlier that morningand she instantly thought that I was pregnant. She had an HCG test and brought it over and told me to take it, so i did. Sure enough, it was positive.  


 I then was like "no, it couldn't be." The lines staid there and they were dark. It was hard trying to tell my mom, I was just afraid she would be mad and kick me out so I made one of my older sisters tell her, and she was shocked as well, but she took it a lot better than I thought she would. She's already buying me stuff for my baby and we don't even know what it is yet. My boyfriend still didn't believe the test so i had my mom go to the store and buy me some more accurate ones and that showed up positive as soon as my pee hit it. I still don't think it has hit him yet though, I still don't think it has hit me yet either. I'm pretty excited and can honestly say I am happy I just hope he is too. (:   


 I'm getting a little more freaked out as the time goes by and my baby grows. I want to do an all natural birth, but people are saying I wont be able to handle the pain, but then again one of my sisters did hers all natural and my mom had 4 girls all natural so i'm pretty confident that I can do it natural too. I was looking into water births, they seem pretty nice and relaxing. I'm honestly hoping I have me a little baby girl. It would just be easier cause I would have everything I would need and I wanna be able to play dress up and do her hair. LOL Also picking out names is going to be a fight between me and my boyfriend because we just can't come to an agreement with any. He likes Destiny but I like Addalyn. And he says that sounds like a grandma name LOL. Oh he is so sickening. We agreed on Lillian though. I thought the name Nevaeh is unique and pretty cool. Heaven spelt backwards. Pronounced Nuh-Vay-Uh. I seen the name LilyAnna. Those are for girls. For boys I like Liam. Haven't really found any unique baby boy names. It's all just so overwhelming and I'm trying everything I can to have a nice easy good pregnancy and delivery. Very exhausting. Looking forward to these long 9 months (: <3

COLLEGE!!!

So here I am trying to sign up for college to further my education, and I never thought that It would be so damn difficult. Like first I went in to fill out my admissions application to get started, got that done; it was a 20 dollar fee; which the lady told me I didn't need to pay right away, so I didn't pay it right away. She gave me my student ID number and my global pin and told me there were a few test to take online. So I tried to log on the next day to do those test and it wasn't letting me sign in. I called Clark and they said that I needed to pay the 20$ application fee in order to activate my ID number. Now the bitch never told me that when I was there filling it out. So then I went in and paid them their 20$. I did one online test which was the orientation and let me tell you, that was freaking boring almost fell asleep. Then I had an advising one I needed to do but I need the scores for the placement test. So today my sister took me in and I did the reading at writing test. Not to mention these test aren't scored as a pass or fail their just placements test to put you in a class. So when I was finished with those test the lady said I failed and had to do it over again and each test was like 15$ and had to wait like 3 months or so. I called Clark afterwards and they said the same thing that there is not a pass or fail and they have building classes so I think everyone that works there are a bunch of noodle heads. They never give me all the information and had to call them a million times. I am almost done signing up for my spring quarter. Hopefully I can get in there quick enough. Got my financial aid done, admissions application done, Orientation done, and hopefully 2 of my placement test!  

My Dad! <'3

You know, as I am sitting here listening to ' Tim McGraw- My little girl ' I just kinna got one of those heart dropping discomforts. And now here I am listening to sad songs thinking. I have always been the type of girl/young woman to wear her heart on her sleeve and did anything to get a mans attention. Now I'm starting to wonder if I did what I done to get a mans attention because of my father never gave me his. Me and my dad have never been close, in fact were always at each others throats. Ever since I hit the 'Teens'. & I know a lot of people lost their dads or they walked out on them and I should be lucky I have a dad and what not, buhh even though he was there to watch me grow up, it feels like he wasn't their at all. I have always done things to try to impress him. I would stay up late on school nights trying to finish a project. I loved the moments we did have fun together, buhh sometimes it feels like juss when were startin to have fun a switch in him turns on nd he's right back to his old bitchin self. I have put up with his crap for 7 years. I hit middle school nd that's juss when it all hit bottom. He kept scolding me, nd always said very negative things to me, about me. I had such huge dreams for myself nd I was such a sweet innocent girl and he crushed it all. He never had faith in me. He would always say something like ' you will ever survive this world alone ' , ' only thing you would be good at is a sex slave in mexico .' It really does hurt, you carry that kind of stuff with you forever. My heart has a missing piece nd its from him. Thinkin bout him makes me wanna cry, Writing this makes me want to cry. It's prolly not even making sense, I'm juss typing away nd letting my feelings spring. It's about time I stop holding this in. I really miss my father, I wish we could have that fun, exciting everlasting father & daughter bond, buhh as long as he walks this planet that'll never happen. There were times when I would tell my mom 'it's either him or me' nd she still did nothing. I was a little child when I watched him break my moms fingers, nd shove her against walls, nd get on top of her threatening to hit her. I don't know why my moms still stays with him. He calls her worthless, fat, a bitch. Always thinks shes out cheating. Threatened to leave her if they didn't get married so what did they go do? Got married. :/ now he threatens to divorce her if she doesn't do things. I would cry myself to sleep night after night preying my mom would juss wake up one day nd tell him to get out nd move on. My mom is a great woman nd could find anyone she wanted too.& as much as I hate to admit it, we would all be happier with out him.  I don't mean to talk bad bout my dad on here, this is not the purpose of this post. The purpose is to say that I miss my dad and wish we were closer. I juss look at him nd don't see the same father I saw when I was 5 years old, when he would pick me up from the bus after elementary school. To this day we barely talk nd when we do talk I don't even know what to say, or he is juss bitchin. I think about my dad all the time. He never appreciates anything I ever done. I would clean the whole house nd he would always find something wrong nd juss bitch sayin ' if your gonna do it, do it right, or don't do it at all. ' I have done so many things to get his attention nd make him notice how good I am doing. I am his first daughter to graduate high school nd go back into college for nursing nd it seemed like he was happy for the day then juss right back to his normal old bitchen self. I wish he would juss let me know that he is proud of me. He has no idea how much that would mean to me nd make my day.. A little kindness goes a long way, so does a little appreciation. I know I haven't been the best myself, buhh what can I say. I have always had a father who looked down on me. never liked anything said or done unless it was his way.. I also like to joke around and be sarcastic nd have funn nd he doesn't like that. He would always call me a smart ass, nd blah blah. I just don't even know what to write anymore, juss besides I have a few tear drops runnin down my cheek. I defiantly miss the dad I once knew, wish he would come back! I love you, Dad! <'3

Bad Doja!

So me and my boyfriend Daniel live in a little two bedroom apartment with a roommate and his crazy, obnoxious dog who's barely a year old. Every time you grab his chain to take him outside, he pees! What the fuck?

And he has a problem with pooping outside for some reason. We would take him out and then two minutes later he poops inside.

What the fuck, right?

I understand he's a puppy, but he does not listen. He is a little shit head and stubborn as all can be. Well, last night me and Daniel were watching a movie and when it was over, we were wondering where Doja was cause he was being quieter than normal and wasn't bothering us. Well, our bedroom door was cracked open. He got trapped in there. We found him chewing on some foam stuff and thought he chewed our memory foam but it wasn't that. Then I realized my slippers were down there and I said he probably chewed my slippers. Daniel picked them up, and sure enough he did!

Shit head!!!


Oh and then decided to piss all over our bed and blanket and pillow. Arrgg!!

Time for adoption Doja, Any takers!?

Errands, Video Games, & Nightmares, Oh My!

Today was just an exhausting tiring day for me. Pretty boring, but tiring. I woke up today around 8 something to go with my boyfriend to this ladies house in Gresham to do some measuring. We barely made it to her house on time, because my boyfriend decides to forget his tape measure at home, so we had to go find a store and buy a new one. Made it there two minutes before 10:30. Darn boys these days always forgetting something! What would they do with out us women?

Anyways, so after that, we end up hitting a lot of traffic and it was only about noon-ish. On our way home, we hit Beaverton to pick up his tools he had left at his old site. Then hit the road to home with a little traffic. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it was just really boring and tiring for me, but don't get me wrong, I loved being my boyfriends company, and I'm sure he loved being mine.(:

When we got back home we had to run to the bank to cash our checks not realizing that he should have waited to cash them because now they are holding part of the check and we're probably going to get evicted. YAY!! :(

So then after that, I took a shower and got ready and we took our dog Doja to the park so he could get out of the house a little and play. Oh boy did he love that! He is such a cutie!! Came back and cleaned up the house a little. Me and my boyfriend made some stuffing, mashed potatoes and chicken. So filling.

Played some games of COD.

I then started to get really tired. So I went in the bedroom and decided to take a little nap. I had the weirdest, freakiest dream. I have a two year old niece named Leah. Me and my boyfriend decided to go to some cheap old creepy motel and give my 2 year old niece her own room. Crazy, I know! Well, there was this like creeper guy who went to little kids rooms to steal things; he had a list. He would steal their things, and then wake them up and scare them. He did it about twice. We went to go check on her and my boyfriend did a flip on the bed and over to scare her and wake her up, but she didn't budge. The weird thing is that she was on her hands and knees sleeping with my boyfriends hat over her face! He then did it a second time and she woke up scared. I went over and hugged her and she told me not to leave, she was scared of the man with the list. I looked in her eyes and told her I wont leave. She hugged me tighter and said, "will you hold me till I sleep", and I told her I would. The weird thing about this all was her eyes. It was like it was her but wasn't her. They were a yellow-goldish color with red lines all around connecting to her pupil.


Then that's when my boyfriend came and woke me up. Said, "I knew there was a reason I had to wake you up."

Just looking into her eyes was scary. It felt so real. I could of sworn I had that same dream about myself, then her. I don't know what it means. I called my mom and asked her if Leah was okay and told her my dream. She laughed and said I was crazy, but it was really scary. Leah was fine after all. She did smash her poor little finger in the door.

Her older sister Rhylie is 4 and she was taking a shower when I called and came out in a towel on her head and a towel around her. LOL She didn't even have all her hair in the towel my mom said. She's a funny little girl. Glad they're okay.

Lets hope I don't have another scary dream like that again!

Rawf Rawf Thursday!

I thought Mondays were supposed to be the cause to a headache? Guess Thursday was my Monday. I already woke up that early afternoon not in a very pleasant mood from the couple previous days. My mom has been bugging me about hearing from one of my sisters. Well she finally posted something on Facebook, so I decided to shoot her a message asking her what she was doing. Not even saying anything, she just bluntly comes out and tells me that she relapsed not only once, but four times on Meth and Heroine. :( 

It is honestly really sad to me, because when I asked her why she didn't try to call me, our mom, or even our older sister to come get her, she told me that she honestly didn't think about us or her two beautiful young babies she got taken away! Its just sad to me she chooses the drug life over family! Breaks me heart when my little nieces cry for their mommy and there is nothing I can say or do to help her or them. 

Plus on top of that, my current boyfriend calls me and tells me that he just got fired from his job. We are barely getting by as is, now this. All because he wasn't used to doing commercial tile work. Made two little simple boo boo's and they wanted to let him go. 

Then previously before that, I got my first job at a privately owned restaurant, "Burger Bungalow". They hired me knowing I was only 18 and had no work experience doing anything. It was my first job, umm hello! Retards. Anyways, I worked full time my first two days and busted my ass. I've never been so sore before. My third day, I worked only part time and just started to like the place. After I got done sweeping and mopping the place, the manager wants to talk to me, so I go into her office and she is telling me she wants to let me go because I wasn't studying the menu enough while trying to work. Not to mention, they had me doing everything, so I barely had time to study the stupid menu. I fucked up a few orders, but anyways; she told me that since I wasn't remembering the sides that go with what meal, and what went on every hamburger, and how much everything was, I had to go. Ehh! Whatever, you guys are up tight anyways. I got my check from them the other day and it was only 191.54! I don't even know how that works out since they were only making me do shit. I felt like I earned more but they're a bunch of stuck up people.  

Ehh. My life is just a mess right now!
