Ugh, so I am thinking about going back to school this semester taking 2 online classes. I will be going back in the spring for sure but taking a few online classes just to get me back into the swing of school. I haven’t been in like 2 years and I don’t really want to go back but I am so close to a degree that I might as well. It may kill me to leave Caden for 2 days a week but it may also be kinda nice to have some alone adult time or something.

So I have been working on getting my name changed everywhere cause yea, I got married FINALLY! My name is now a nice simple name, Crystal Brown. Try to look me up, good luck with that Yea but let me tell you how much I love being treated like shit the second I walk into a place. I had to go to the public aid office to get my name changed on my insurance card. That place is a total shit hole full of <u>mostly</u> gutter trash that are all feeding off the government. I would say about 99.5% of the people there are like that, they all come in with their school of children, and are usually pregnant, and want their food stamps and free insurance. The small percentage of us that do just need a little bit of help, get treated the same way all the free loaders do and I don’t think it is fair or right in any way. I was called into an office by a very rude woman who automatically assumed I was changing my name because of a divorce. Then when I said no I got married she acted even more annoyed and like oh great. So she rushed me in and out by giving me a piece of paper to fill out and mail right back to place I was JUST at. And all of the stuff she wanted copies of, I already had with me. I fucking hate that place and can’t wait till I don’t need them anymore. I don’t need to be treated that way, it’s just ridiculous.

Phew, ok breathe. Now that I have gotten that off my chest, kinda, I guess I will be off to play with Caden and attempt to do some house work. It is really hard to get anything done with a 6 month old, 6 months on the 11 so not quite but come on now :P, that thinks he needs to not only see me at all times, but also be held. I am working on that but I can’t just let him scream sometimes because Terry will be sleeping so he can go to work. I just wish he could get a job working evenings and not the night shift. It would help tremendously.

My presents…

That adorable picture was taken with that phone, the camera is pretty kick ass, LOVES IT!

He is only 3 months and I am pretty sure he is already teething. He is continuously putting his hands in his mouth to chew on, he will put his blanket in his mouth if it is there, and he is drooling like crazy. I am going to be so sad when he starts getting teeth because he will lose his adorable toothless grin. He also laughed for the first time about a week ago. It was the cutest thing in the entire world. He hasn’t laughed recently because every time he looks like he is going to, he shoves his hands in his mouth. So so sad, he has only done it a few rimes but I already miss it

So hopefully I will be buying a new phone soon because I now hate the Chocolate. I thought it was so cool and totally amazing but now I can’t stand it. I got back into texting and the buttons are really way too small for that and I am tired of the whole slide thing. I think the next phone I want is the enV² in maroon. That is the closet to pink and my old high school color, we were maroon and white. I really wanted the Moto Qmusic 9m because I really want a phone that looks like that but all phones that look like that are smart phone you have to have an internet package for and I don’t want that. I just want the looks, hehehe. I am not eligible for an upgrade for a while though so I will have to just buy it outright and it is $350 for Verizon. I will be looking at craigslist and ebay too because I am pretty sure I could find a better deal. I also know the hefty price is because it is new so I could also try and wait for a while but that is just so hard you know.

I got a new tablet for my stupid PC so I now have an extra I can use on my laptop because since I upgraded my ram, it is better than my PC that has gone back to the way it was before I changed graphic cards. Just a little note, if you have XP DO NOT get Service Pack 3, it sucks major ass and screwed my computer all up. I got it uninstalled but it is still all screwy. Here is a nice long blog for everyone, your welcome

So, one last little thing that is just so got me freaking out. This whole BPA thing in plastics, especially in my baby’s bottles and my breast pump. I will leave you with a really good link that I got on RebelMB so all you other mommies can check your stuff and make sure they are BPA free. BPA is an estrogen like ingredient found in most hard, clear plastics and has been linked with different cancers and early onset puberty. The government has even said that it is bad and yet most companies won’t change plastics. I think it must be important if some companies strive to bring you all BPA free products, like Medela, and prominently advertise it on their site. So please think about it and do what you can to try and get things changed. I have already contacted my local WIC office and let them know they are giving out breast pumps that are made completely of plastic that contain BPA. I am hoping they will look into it further and change to a different brand pump, as for now I am going to have to go and buy myself a new one. A Medela one.
