"I am from" poem

I am from the lingering smell of burnt food at my moms, The overload of take out at my dads, And split time between the both of them. I am from late night hangouts in the dusty attic of our garage, The spine-chilling sleepovers on the trampoline to see who could make it till morning, And being woken up in the afternoons to music echoing off the walls. I am from each of the houses we left behind, Abandoning pieces of my heart along the way. I am from sneaking out, Paying for it later, And doing it all over again. I am from family movie nights, Licking salt covered butter at the bottom of the popcorn bag, And not noticing the disgusted faces starting back at me. I am from all of these childhood memories along with many more, Locked inside my brain to never be forgotten.

The sound of gambling

Over the weekend I went to Louisiana to gamble this past weekend with my boyfriend and his family. They were standing in line for something and I decided to take seat at a slot machine. As I sat there waiting I zoned out. All I could hear was the winning sounds of people playing slots. It sounded like a sweet song. Out of all the loud, crazy noises I was distracted by the sweet, soft melody of the music the slot machines were singing. I just thought how ironic it was that they would make the machines sing such an intriguing sound.

Picture This

A young wild child sitting on the edge of forever Feet dangling into the empty air Squeezing tightly in discomfort to the two things she held dear to her adolescent heart A squirming kitten trying to break free from the heavy warmth of her arms And a bushy tailed stuffed rabbit that she would never let out of sight.

Tough Times

Over the weekend my dog, Ruger got really sick. He is two years old. His whole life he has always been a little off. He sleeps all the time and never has energy like a puppy should. He always gets sick. As frequent as every other week. We keep him on a strict diet, but it hasn't seemed to help. Friday morning I took him back to the vet, which is a very familiar place for him. In the past the vet was never able to find anything wrong with him, but this time was different. We discovered he has kidney failure. The thing that sucks the most is that there is nothing you can do if a dog has kidney failure. He is just going to have to deal with it. It breaks my heart.

Scaredy Cat (Dog)

I have a brown and white two year old pit bull. He is the sweetest and cuddly dog ever, but he is afraid of everything. Last night our fire alarm went off in our apartment. Let me tell you, my "big, bad dog" hid like a little baby shivering under the covers on my bed. He got as close to me as he could without physically sitting on me. Although the fire alarm freaked me out, he made me laugh so hard. He is such a baby, but it was the cutest thing.

Baby Daredevil

At work yesterday during the twins nap time I was shocked to see a surprise. One of the twins (16 months old) is a complete daredevil. She will climb anything in sight and if she falls she will not even cry. So anyways, during there nap time I always put Tatelyn (the daredevil) upstairs in the play room because she will scream and cry until she falls asleep, and I do not want her to wake her sister. about an hour into her nap I was walking by the door to the upstairs and heard something right on the other side of the door. Tatelyn is at the bottom of the stairs!! This means that she somehow got out of her crib, opened the baby gate at the top of the stairs, and walked down stairs on her own with a single scream or cry. She is definitely a daredevil.

Taking the test to Determine my Future (ESL Certification Exam)

Saturday morning I got up bright and early to take my ESL certification exam. I had been so nervous for the past couple of weeks and majorly stressing myself out about it. The morning of though, I felt so calm. In my mind I either knew the material or I did not. There was no turning back at that point. Today I got an email saying that my scores were in. I was more nervous to open my scores then I was taking the test. All the late nights studying ended up worth it. I PASSED!!
