Thanksgiving

I am thankful for:

My wonderful, amazing, awesome, blog followers. Who always lift me up when I'm feeling blue. I don't think you understand how many times I get your comments & go to my friends or mom & say "Look what {insert name here} said on my blog today! Each & every one of you are appreciated greatly.

- My mother, who despite the fact that she makes me more angry than anyone on this planet. She gave me life, & continues to make it a great one. I love you.

- My best friends (especially you Rachel, I love you thank you for never giving up hope on me).

- Being a vegetarian

- My HARLEY!!! awww... I love my little doggie so so so much.

-My job, who has became more of a second family. I'm so blessed to have them!

- My amazing family & friends & support system that I am blessed to have!

- The ability to love & be there for someone who doesn't choose to do the same for us, & the strength to be able to want to do that for someone else.

- Freedom

I feel like its been forever

"I'll give up my nail biting, if you quit smacking your gum.

Its the little things that make you draw your gun.

Your a morning bird & I'm a night owl up so late, but if that's our biggest trouble baby, we have got it made."

These few days without blogging feels like years!

Its been BUS-AH!

End of the week update:

- This totally shocked me & kind of intrigued me

- I went from my normal nanny status to a live in nanny for two days & loved it :)

- I went to Discovery Green for my first time & loved it! Cant believe id never been. I'm such a horrible Houstonian.

- Hit my bosses gorgeous new car with mine... It was my first accident ever... Luckily there wasn't much damage & my boss is a saint & I love her to death & I'm eternally grateful for the fact she didn't even get mad!

- Spent way to much money on clothes.. but don't regret it :)

- Listened to the new Doom & Gloom song that came out today "Make Me An Offer" a little too much.. but also don't regret it :)

- & now I'm a little sickie

I need your guys help!!!

I don't know where to get some new film for my instax mini 7 that I can go bbuuyyyyy!

I need some asap & don't have time to order it off the interweb.

I feel like this is an impossible request & a dumb question but I had to ask..

'Cause when I'm standing here in the dark, I see your face in every star

Yesterday I was having a horrible time of it.
I couldn't sleep,
finally got to sleep at 12pm & had to get up two hours later.
Used to I could run on two hours for days but when I woke up I felt overwhelmingly sick.
Insomnia was a major pain in the rump yesterday, needless to say.
I didn't get around to feeling well at all, all day.
Kevin was a little difficult.
Nothing I couldn't handle (he is a sweetheart no matter what)
But he just didn't seem to want to listen or obey but by the end of the day when I got off we were cuddled up watching hours of Scooby Doo.
I feel fortunate that Kevin loves Scooby Doo as much as I do.
Anyways,
by the time I got home I still was a little grumpy & I took sleeping pills & forced myself to go to sleep & decided to blog when I had a full night of sleep under my belt, so here I am!

goodness, I love this song, the lyrics, the video.
Especially the ending.
Love it!


Okay awesome news!
I was featured on Camilla's blog!
I sent her an 'When I Grow Up' list forever ago but it never got posted.
But she emailed me & asked me if I still wanted to play not to long ago & I was jumping for joy!
Check it out here!
& don't forgot to congratulate her, she is newly engaged!

Kevin's Birthday

For those of you that don't know,
I'm a nanny,
To this little cutie pie.
His name is Kevin & today he turns five.
I picked him up from school with donuts in the shape of footballs in hand..
He was pretty happy.
The only sad part about today is knowing that he is getting another year older & sooner or later he wont need me anymore!
I hope that time is much, much further in the future because I love my job :)

Life, as of the first three days of September

{via}

I don't want to blog about meaninglessness but I'm trying to become a better blogger & the first step is to always blog even when i don't think anyone will be interested.

so here goes.

- I'm sick, & have been for over a week now.
- My bosses are moving into their new home, which I've been helping with.
- Today was my first day off in forever!
- My mom is out of town for the weekend, left today.
- I only have $20 dollars in my wallet.. Well.. less than that now I got lost on the way home & had to pay to get off the toll road -_- I need some money for sure.
- I'm hungry.
- Every single one of my friends are pulling me in a million different directions & I'm not a freakin robot & cant be there for EVERYONE, ALL THE TIME! I've tried it, Its impossible. Just cause I don't see you everyday doesn't mean I hate you, it means I have a life.
- I really want to spend the rest of my weekend (after I get off tomorrow) at my bff (I hate that term but.. oh well.) Rachel's but I don't have a puppy sitter for little Harley boy. Plus I feel bad about just leaving him here without his grandma.
- The only person I really really want to talk to is on a completely different time zone than me. Which means it is 9:30am here.. 11:30am there & he's still not up... Which means I'm going to be up all night talking to him, & I have work at 7am in the morning.. & I don't wake up to alarms... & my mom isn't here to wake me... which means.. a LOT of Monsters...


& that is all for Brooke's fun & exciting life times..
Check in later for an update on the sleepless nanny that worked a twelve hour shift... sounds like its a making for a horror film

ppssstttt!!!

Over here!

So..

I know I disappeared!

I was just had my grandparents house & decided to kick back and read a couple of books.

I finished "A Walk to Remember" (in one day), and "Wokini" (literally changed my life).

It was peaceful and realizing but now I am back home.

I got home yesterday (my grandmother drove me home. Long car drive from her house in Oklahoma).

After being on the road since 6am

I got home & me and my grandmother had to start pack stuff up immediately!

Ya see, I'm moving.

We moved last year at this time,

and I think the year before too.

I'm SICK of moving!

And I love how we always end up moving in the Summer!

Yuck!

So anyways,

my grandmother is staying in town till Friday to help us move.

We have to be moved out by the first of the month.

So I didn't have a second of down time.

After putting things in boxes my mother got home and we had to load everything in the car and take it over to our new house (did I mention our apartment is upstairs, and we have to move all our stuff upstairs in the new house... no fun at all)

We got back to our apartment were I had rush and take a shower, do my make up and hair and of course get dressed to go meet my new boss,

Who was lovely!

I'm really excited about my new job.

Oh did I forget to mention that?

Yes.

I not only came home to moving, but also a job!

I found it while I was out of town.

I'm going to be a nanny for a really nice family and I cant wait.

Oh and I also came home to studying full time.

Yes.

I have to take my GED by the first of July.

I want to start college a year early and I just want to get High School over with.

Especially since I'm Home Schooled.

A lot of the times doing my work just feels like a waste of time.

So I am moving, starting a job, and studying full time.

AND my grandmother is in town..

Busy, Busy, Busy
