I don't want to fail
I'm too stressed to really concentrate on updating anything... Sorry
My latest plan is called memorize like crazy and pray that I pass.
Robbie has been cranky. He's getting out of rehab on the 30th temporarily. Things are a mess with his permanency plans. I'll update on that sometime. Probably August 1. When i can live again.
Raffle tickets are for sale everywhere! Please buy some!

To M'Andy
When thinking about the people I either am annoyed with, or could be annoyed with.... Your name never even crossed my mind.
You should consider this a good thing. A very good thing.

I'll Make You My Dirty Little Secret
This is supposed to be about me studying for the bar exam.
Shit.
Someone should have reminded me.
I've been studying - some. I'm trying to catch up with the schedule. To be honest, I'm about where the schedule says I should have been - On June 12.
The bar is in three weeks.
I have a secret. I would rather chat with BJones on AIM than study. Does that mean there is something wrong with me? Maybe it's because he's on the short list of people I'm not annoyed with right now. Jaimee's on that list too. The world has turned upside down. I actually think they may be the only two people i can think of on the list right now.
Stacey's only absent because I miss her, and i always get annoyed with her when i miss her. Predictably Me.
I wrote yesterday. Again, instead of studying. But i miss writing. I used to do it a lot more often. It was transparent, but I don't care. I'm transparent right now - except to them.
Robbie is doing great. I'm annoyed at him for having an attitude problem. But i'm grateful for his attitude problem all the same. I never feel like posting.
Ever.
Screaming by typing LIKE THIS just doesn't do it for me.

L-A-M-O is my name - o
Wow. I haven't updated. Figures.
Robbie is doing better. He got his trach removed today. It will take a while to heal, but at least he doesn't have a gaping hole in his neck anymore. He did have an infection, but they've been giving him mega antibiotics, and he seems to be over it now. The doctors thing he will be going to rehab on Tuesday. Just pray that he doesn't get sick again. I'm ready for him to be in rehab - I keep hoping that I will be able to study for the bar exam more easily once he is out of the hospital.
On the other hand, Robbie getting out of the hospital and going to rehab makes me more and more scared and apprehensive about what my family is going to do. We obviously have to move. Everything used to be falling together nicely on the building a house plan - but since someone started a nasty rumor around town, things have been kinda hard. Someone told my little sister that they heard that no one cared about Robbie and my dad just wanted to make some money so they weren't going to support anything we did. I pretty sure anyone who actually knows my family realizes that is the farthest thing from true. It really hurt my dad to hear that someone said that about him. He's been really hurting over this whole situation anyway. My dad is pretty much the greatest guy i know. I've seen him give his last 5 dollars to someone he thought needed it more than he did too many times to count. I really want to be like him when i finally grow up.... (when does that happen anyway? I'm already 25!).
Things are sucking royally on the bar exam front. I haven't studied in a couple weeks and i'm getting so far behind, I don't know if i will be able to catch up. I created a study corner in Daniel's room and am hoping that will help me concentrate.
Tonight I have to get the study area completed, look at plane tickets and hotel rooms, and look for a 5k with better timing than the one i was planning on running.
Tomorrow I have to:
find a lamp somewhere (Good Sam??)
go running
ortho appt
STUDY for at least 4 hours
go see Robbie in Columbia
check on my school loans
make some phone calls while driving

Andy Talks With Me
Robbie talks! After over three weeks of near silence, it's great to hear his voice. Even if he is his old grouchy self. I'm pretty sure nothing about his personality has changed - I don't know if that's a good thing, we were hoping he come out of this a sweet, nice little boy.... Yeah right!
He's been in stepdown since Saturday evening. Stepdown kind of sucks because the nurses aren't very attentive. Apparently he is being moved to Rusk (the rehab center) tomorrow, although i'm not certain of that. They said they were going to move him today, and they lied. Maybe they're lying about tomorrow too!
----
I haven't been studying. I've been way too distracted by everything going on. I haven't been getting very good sleep as the 4th floor is not nearly as accommodating as the 3rd floor. The hospitality staff is kinda snooty on this floor also. They come in and steal our pillows and blankets anytime after about 5a.m. If you get to go to the bathroom at like 6am, when you come back, all of your stuff will be gone!! And if you know me at all, you know that i'm not intending to get up for the day at 6a.m.!
----
In response to the question about the "raffle" tickets, I'm pretty sure they are going to be available at a few places in town in the next week. I think everyone is still working on getting it set up. If not, i'll be sure and let everyone on here know how to get a hold of some. Seriously, who doesn't want to win a new truck! Especially, when you're chances are probably about 1/3000 or better! Even if you don't need a truck, you can always sell it and buy cool stuff! Everyone wants new stuff!!!!! And i think there are going to be a few other smaller prizes in addition to the truck.... Details to come...

It's stupid and boring and i feel like i'm going insane
I haven't updated lately, probably because everyday feels exactly like the last. It's hard to believe I haven't been to Richland in 20 days. It's also hard to believe that Robbie has been in the I.C.U. for 20 days....
In other news, Robbie should be moving out of the I.C.U. early next week and going to the rehab center. I keep telling him that they are sending him to rehab to take care of his crack problem. That makes him smile. He's doing so much better, it's amazing. Things are still hectic with planning for his return home and making sure he has a place to come home to and such, but I know it will work out.
I've been studying off and on since last Tuesday. A couple of days I haven't gotten anything done. I was doing better before Erica got her newest job placement at the hospital. She works during the day, so we aren't going to the library anymore. A couple of weeks ago, I was feeling really guilty about my California plans, but now i am back to realizing how good it is going to be for me to get away from here. Robbie will be okay and will be taken care of. I just have to keep reminding myself that it is not my job to run my family. My parents really can take care of it, I just have to let them.
I've been negotiating with Stacey to come and visit in July and be my life coach. I really need a life coach if I want to pass this bar exam.... I guess it's not really Stacey that I need to negotiate with, it's Stacey's parents... and they drive a hard bargain - or no bargain.... Jerks!
I got a card from Jaimee/Bryan/John/Clo. It was really sweet and if any of you read this ever, I really appreciate you thinking about me. I'm feeling like spilling today, so bear with me, while I give you the drunken spew on my relationships with these four rockstars.
Clo - I love Clo! What more can i say. I'm really proud of her for graduating and doing such a rockstar job of taking care of her family. I think sometimes she gets taken advantage of because she is just that nice.
John - John and I haven't talked much in the last few years, but I feel okay about that. When we do chat, things are kool. I sent him a fun text a few weeks ago about about how studying for the bar exam is like death in a box. I know he's going to make a great attorney, because he's a great guy.
Jaimee - Jaimee and I have our issues, as everyone knows. But i'm really grateful for how nice she has been since i've been in Columbia (facebooking Andy, organizing that card, letting me cry on her). It was really nice to catch up with her about law school and such. I think the biggest problem is that I listen to gossip too much and let my feelings get hurt a little too easily. I should really try not to do that, because I really like talking to her when we just let things go.
Bryan - Ditto with the gossip and letting my feelings get hurt thing. I've been a little hard on this boy, probably because I love him to death. In the future, I'm going to try not to attempt to cut people off when i'm upset, especially when i don't even know if the stories i hear are true or not. His niceness and positive messages (especially in that card) make me feel really crappy about myself, and I don't even know how to apologize.
