Well my Grandma has passed away!
Well, I had just finished blogging last Friday about my 16 year old friend planning her mother of 45 funeral. Let me tell you what has happened since I wrote that blog. I wrote that blog late last Friday night. My husband had left that morning with the military. Now, I go to bed early after making sure my husband go to where he was going safely. I get up at 8am and get my three daughters, showered and fed so we can go to two different Easter egg hunts. Okay so, the girls and I have showered and are ready to go. I text my sister-in-law who is my best friend and ask her when she would be over to pick us up since my van is in the shop still getting the computer fixed on it. She picks up and we go to Orshelins here in Lamar and they decided not to do an Easter egg hunt, but to just let the kids come in and get a box of eggs. I can understand that. Anyway my nephew won a chicken. It was cool! Alright we have a couple of hours till the Lamar Park Easter egg hunt so we go back to my house since I live by the park. We are laughing and having a good time when my friend who is planning her moms funeral calls and says her uncle is in town trying to ruin her mothers funeral. Aww. Don't get upset we saved the day and with plenty of time to get to the park for the big annual Easter egg hunt. I am standing there and we are all laughing and having a good time and 15 minutes prior to the egg hunt starting my phone rings, I answer it because it's my mother. I yell first Happy Easter! She says nothing and I hear her crying really bad and I asked the whats wrong? She said I just called to let you know your grandma just passed away. She hangs up and says call me after the Easter egg hunt. I barely get the words out and say okay mom I love you. I look up at my sister in law and I can't breathe and she says what happened I tell her and some woman in the crowd turns around and by this time tears are running down my face and she says really? I was like nope I lie to cry at Easter egg hunts. we go Easter egg hunting but, for some reason I felt like I was trapped in a tornado. After the Easter egg hunt I sat down and waited for everybody to eat so my sister in law could take me home and everybody wanted to talk to me, but I had nothing to say. See there's where I messed up because I am a talker and everybody knows it, but my brain would not function. So, I left my kids with my sister and walked off and sat in her car waiting to go home. She dropped me off, I called my brothers and they started celebrating. Now, don't get offended you have to understand my grandma was mean to them. Anyway they don't want to go to the funeral because of issues they have with her, but I tell my mother I will get a babysitter and go with her. So, I try to go to sleep knowing that on Easter Sunday I had a wake to go to but, my brother calls the one with a baby and went back to the worthless mother and wants me to help him save his relationship. I am like really? This woman almost killed my niece and you want me to help? Anyway my lovely heart got in the way and I stayed up till 6am helping them stay together. I wake up at 11am to my oldest daughter 8 almost nine bringing me my brunch. What a daughter I thought to myself. See she knows what death means and she is the sweetest thing. She said you have 3 missed calls, and granny called. I told her thank-you kissed her and told her to go play. I call my mother and ask her when she was going to pick me up..... She starts laughing in the background and says well since your brother didn't want to go I decided I wasn't taking anyone. So, if you want to come you will have to find a ride. I explain that I can't but, would love to go to the funeral on Monday, she says okay. Monday rolls around and my mother never calls, comes by, or answer's my calls. The funeral was at 3pm. At 3:30 I get a call and she is talking to me like I am some celebrity. So, now I know she is just showing off for her family that has never met me. I let her. I am still hurt from her not taking to my grandpa's funeral when I was 18. So, now I have realized that my mother doesn't love me the way she does my brothers. Then she came over here today and asked me to let her have $50.00 because she spent that on gas to go to my grandma's funeral. All I could do was shut the door and lock it. I didn't want to be mean to my mother since she had just buried hers, but really why should I be the fall back child? Why is that I am always there for my parents, but my parents are only there for my brothers. I am talking to grown men who don't want anything to do with them and I am always there for them and yet, they don't care. Why? Anyway R.I.P. Grandma Virginia Wilson. Whether you where nice or mean you will still be loved and missed by me. Forgive me for not being at your funeral, but it was beyond my control.

Funeral
A friend of mine's mother passed away a couple of days ago..... What to say about my friend....Hmm. I will say she is a sixteen year old mother that is an outcast to her family. She has a baby boy and her own house! She is a great mother. I don't think kids should have kids but, in this case she is a great mother. Bad side is her mother died at 45. Who has to plan the funeral her mother's husband, who has a girlfriend? Maybe one of her mother's relatives who didn't even care enough about her to take care of her instead of just slapping her in a nursing home? NOPE! The poor child has to plan her mother's funeral and take care of all the arrangements! Where is her stepdad? Good question! I am so mad as hell and I don't care about anybody's feelings but hers right now. This child is no relation to me yet, I am the only one helping her with this besides one other person. This girl should NOT have to plan her mothers funeral alone! She is a child and she needs to grieve, but none of her family is there for her.
I ask in the world we live in how could a family be so horrible and do this to a child with a baby? I could NEVER do this to my worst enemy! I will never understand the things that happen or why people do this. I have a message to anybody in that family: Go look up the word worthless and it will say" Worthless-Y-O-U!
I will never forget we are all family and should treat others as we would want to be ttreated. If anybody comes to this girls moms funeral and tries to destroy know that their is not a person on Earth that will stop me from giving my two cents! How can people do this to a child? LOVE her! HELP her! Quit Judging her! All she ever wanted was love and now I know why she needs people like me in her life. Because she is better than me! She says nothing harmful, yet hears everyday how horrible she is, she tries everyday to be the best she can, yet it is not enough for you. She cries quietly at night hoping one day you will lover her, but you won't. So, like a radio show to my friend, Hear's Momma Jessica sending a song out to you; it's called Lullaby By: Shawn Mullins http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSPjTAFn-l0
I love you girl and everythings going to be alright!

What will happen in 2012?
Okay I have to write about this before school ends. I am pretty sure everybody has heard that something is going to happen in 2012. I know I keep hearing about it. First, before I talk about 2012 I want to tell you what is going to happen to my family in 2012. I am going to celebrate my tenth wedding anniversary! If my husband is still in the country at that time we are going to renew our wedding vows. We didn’t get a real wedding due to him leaving the first time he left for war. So, we always said we would have a real wedding on our tenth anniversary. I am excited about that! Also, I turn 30 in 2012. Okay so there is what is happening to me in 2012, now onto what is supposed to happen to the world in 2012.
I would like to start with Nostradamus, because this man wrote a lot of predictions and they so far have been right. So here is what wiki says that Nostradamus said;” The predictions of Nostradamus were in agreement with the scientist of today that the solar system will pass through the galactic plane of the Milky Way galaxy, as the earth enters its 25,800 year precession. When this happens, the gravitational wave, which exists as a flat plane along the equatorial region of the Milky Way, sends this across any passing solar system, including Earth and the Sun, causing earthquakes in both Sun and all the planets. In this region there are broken planets and asteroids that may cause near massive object collision with earth, but also as the solar system passes the equatorial region will the planets; including earth shifts its rotation. According to Nostradamus, when this passes, whole continents will be under water in a matter of 6-10 hours, where most of Asia will be underwater, but also other coastal regions. The land will sink fast and responsible for most of the destruction, but during this passing the earth will lose its orbit around the sun, massive earthquakes starts from the polar shifts and gravitational waves bringing on earthquake and sinking of continents. The spokes of wheel disappears in one of Nostradamus drawings which signifies that earth will no longer be in orbit or following cycles, and hence the disappearance of spokes. The sinking of land will also experience land underwater coming out at the same time, and will take matter of hours for a land to sink 2000 feet under the ocean much like Atlantis, which was about 2200 feet, located off the coast of Cuba. Nostradamus belonged to the secret society and this is known by the secret society too and symbolism matches his used, but because this knowledge was secret did Nostradamus have to plan the event to be “discovered" more than 500 years later.” This man has predicted a lot of things, so he nice to hear what he says. Like the article says most scientists agree with him.
Alright that is just one story. What about the Mayans? The Mayans never said that it was the end of times. To put it simple their calendar just ends. The question we ask is what does this mean to us? From the articles I read it means we are going to know a higher power. Well, here is a piece of an article explaining a little bit about the Mayan Calendar predictions: “You can say a lot about the Maya, but you've got to hand it to them: they knew a hell of a lot about stars. For instance, they calculated the exact duration of a year to a thousandth of a decimal point, much more precise than any Greek or enlightened philosopher ever did. Also, they were able to predict every solar and lunar eclipse until this day. And obviously, they knew where the galactic equinox and the exact middle of the Milky Way lay: they called this crossing `the Sacred Tree'. More disturbing, the Maya's were awfully good at astrology, too. Mysteriously, they predicted in what year their civilization would be overrun by foreigners coming from over the seas. Legend has it they even predicted the world wars. So if a Maya tells you the world will end in 2012, you'd better take it seriously. But actually, the Maya's never predicted anything concrete about 2012. That may have something to do with our ill knowledge about Maya culture: when the Spanish ransacked the land, they burnt literally every Maya book they could find. Only a handful of scriptures survived. And in them, there's not a clue about what happens when the Maya calendar ends. So what awaits us in 2012 basically is an open question. And as with so many open questions, countless doom preachers, semi-prophets and other crackpots pop up to provide an answer. The interpretation you hear most: 2012 will mark the coming of a new, glorious age of wisdom and peace. It will be Age of Aquarius at last, with a world full of peace, love and understanding. The reasoning behind this is actually not that stupid. The Maya's didn't really believed in endings: their conception of time was circular, with every end being the beginning of something new. So, 2012 shouldn't be an exception. Also, the Maya's had a highly developed philosophy of the cosmos. They saw the cosmos as the true mother of things. Consequently, the Maya's thought the cosmos is all around us, and within us. Every plant, every animal, every man is sheer Cosmos. So, New Age philosophers say, December 21st 2012 will be the day on which this inner cosmos is reconnected to the divine outer cosmos. The Sun will mount its unique position to form a `gateway' between the Universe and the souls of every living creature on Earth. Our linear conception of time will crumble, and with it, fear and hatred will vanish. It will be purification at it's very best, when everyone is soaked in cosmic understanding and divine love. So there it is: on December 20th, you'll kick your dog, yell at your spouse and cheat on cards. But a day later, you'll be calmed down into a peaceful dude with nothing but love and understanding to guide you in life. Even though it's mid-winter, it'll be summer of love for all humanity.
I know this is long but, one more point of view from our scientist oh wait they don’t really have a point of view, but that’s our government. I say live life everyday because you never know when it’s going to be your last! It’s like that saying the past is called the past because it’s behind us. Today is the present because it a present just to see it, and the future is the future because we can’t see into it.
And here is a website just for fun to lookout all the natural disaster's going on around the world! I love it!

What a crazy week! My ramblings!
Everything changes is what they say! I hate change unless it is for the better! Look at this weather hot one day rain and tornado's the next. My computer chip and my brand new van broke $600.00. Then my husband's alternator in his car goes out 4 days later $200.00. Husband going somewhere to train with the military and will be gone for Easter. No money for bills. My goat had a baby and almost died. She is still hurting the baby is fine. The list could go on, but with the mouthful I just said everything is still okay.
I am not sure why but, for once I am not worried about anything. I feel like everything is going to be okay. I look around my house and I realize I own it. Also we are buying another one so life can't be that bad right? I look at my three girls ands they are so happy and not wanting for anything. Matter of fact they are so helpful. They are trying to play mommy to me since they know their dad is leaving.
The last time all this chaos happened I was worrying like crazy but, everything worked out fine. Yep, we struggled but, we got through it. I think maybe that's it; or maybe the fact that since the cars are broke my parents have been over all the time and I get to spend more time with them than usual. Or maybe it's because I see how crazy people let their lives be; and I realize I could be like them and go nuts worrying and crying.
Instead I am like the sun will come out tomorrow. I guess some people just finally realize everything will be okay and the more time you focus on the negative the less time you have to focus on the positive.
Like my goat had her first baby and lived! Vehicle's can be fixed. At least my husband has two jobs. I don't have to work, I can spend the day doing whatever I want with my babies.
I am sure you might not understand my ramblings but, it just makes me feel better to get it off my chest. I have a great life it is whether I choose to see it or not. Have a good one everyone! I know I will.

New inventions of 2011; like the flying car and past crazy inventions!
I love watching the Microsoft convention and finding new gadgets, new cars, and whatever else they can think of so, when I came across this article about what kind of inventions are coming out in 2011 I was amazed at what I saw. Wikipeers.com had this to say:
If you’ve wondered what might be some of the new inventions of 2011 here are a few of them.
1. One of the most exciting contraptions that you may encounter for 2011 is flying cars. MIT students from the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics have actually succeeded in creating and flying a winged car. This is said to be the wave of the future. The company that is reported to release the space ship looking cars is called Terrafugia. So be sure to look to the skies in 2011.
2. A new form of hybrid cars will be launched from Toyota. In 2011 you will have the option to buy hybrid minivan. The minivan is recorded to have 7 seats in it and is a great fuel efficient car. No information on prices has been found yet.
3. In China a new robot is being designed to help kids with autism. The robot is being constructed by University of Hertfordshire. The robot is said to have artificial skin and is suppose to be in a child like form. It is suppose to help kids with autism to help them learn how to socialize better and interact better with their peers.
4. Edible houses are on the list for 2011. These houses are said to be run by wind, rain, sun and garbage. The house is supposed to be comfortable and affordable. Students at the University of Maryland are designing and building the house to be staged in 2011 at the National mall.
These are just a few of the ideas for 2011. They have already started constructing them and getting them ready for selling and research in 2011. I’m sure more inventions will come for 2011.
Now, I am truly excited about the flying cars idea. Could you imagine? Well, I wish in this kind of time I had lots of money or was rich because I so want one of these babies! My second choice would be the Hybrid minivan because I have three girls and I drive a minivan. I really am not sure where to go with the robot for autism kids. I know a little about autism but not enough to know if a robot friend would help them. Also, when I think of a little kid robot I think of two movies iRobot and The Terminator (Both make me hate the robot idea.) Wow! What do you say about an edible house? Ewe! What if it rot’s? What an imagination though, right? I don’t know I would have to get more information before I gave it thumbs up.
Alright let’s see more inventions that are to come in 2011 from another sight are: The new flu apps. This app. for iphones, droids, and other smart phones; it allows you to see where the flu virus is. I am not sure how this app. can ever be right since not everyone is going to jump on their phone and put in that they have the flu. However, the article in science and inventions says that: The WheresFlu app follows sickness incidence levels weekly and keeps track of the most top 5 affected cities in USA. The WheresFlu™ app will provide you with the result of your area or you can enter a zip code to an area you want to get information about.
Your average can be calculated as follows: It is considered low if the number of population affected is less than 5%, moderate between 5-10%, high between 10-15% and very high if more than 15% population affected.
Okay my last inventions I want to talk about are already made! Here are some of the craziest things I have come across. I just showed the pictures but you can click the link below to go and look for yourself or actually buy them. They are:
The Fizz Saver Refrigerator 2-Liter Soft Drink Dispenser
Toilet Paper Holder Docks your iPod

Woohoo My daughter's birthday is Monday!
Alright, here's the deal my mom turns 50 on Sunday and my middle daughter turns 6 on Monday. Okay yeah it's her birthday, but now guess what I have to do? I had to send out invations to her classmates for a birthday party tomorrow at the Forest Grove Petting Farm in Lamar, MO. Then Saturday I have to go make sure everything is set up for her birthday party. She has to have her cow girl outfit on. She gets to ride the ponies. She will love it! Then on Monday I have to send cupcakes and stuff to school because her birthday is actuall on that day. So, now she has had two birthday celebrations. To make things even better for her, my husband has to work Saturday and he is getting ready to go overseas for 18 months and will miss two of her birthdays while he was gone. So, we are going to have a third birthday for her on thursday so my husband can be there.
This is going to be a crazy year on birthdays now because my oldest realizes that her sister is getting 3 birthdays and she is only getting one, so now we are going to have three birthdays for her. So, my husband only finds it fair that our baby girl who just turned three in January and she needs two more birthday parties so that way everybody is equal.
So, I asked him since they were getting 3 birthdays a piece if that ment while he was gone I didn't have to give them a birthday party. You all can guess what the answer was. So, anyway now I feel like a party planner! So, to everyone reading this and it's your birthday:
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to whoever you are!
Happy to youuuuuuuuuuuu!
Thank-you for your time!

Who wins when the Republicans and Democrats fight? NO ONE!!!
Where does the madness end? I am so sick of Republicans fighting for the rich and Democrats fighting for the poor. All this is doing is killing the poor man. Do us a favor and put Clinton back and office; why? You may ask, because at the end of his term we were at an all time low on national debt, poverty, and people on welfare was minimal. Every since Bush got in office everything has gone downhill. Then we get Obama in office saying he is going to fix it. I thought for sure since he came from a poor family that he would actually do whatever it took to save us poor and middle class people. Now, I realize and didn’t matter who we put in office. The rich will stay rich and poor will stay poor. Anyway, on to matter’s of the press.
Now, the Republicans and Democrats are going to keep battling till are solders have no funds! Can you imagine being a solder overseas fighting for your country and your country stops paying you; or how about being a wife to one of those solders who rely on that paycheck to keep the bills up and you no longer receive any money? I can because I am an Army wife and I love that title; however I don’t think it’s fair to watch my husband leave all the time and risk his life and have no pay.
Here is what it says for the military: Key national security responsibilities, including operations in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya and earthquake assistance to Japan would not be interrupted by a shutdown, the Pentagon said. U.S. military troops, including those at war, would receive one week's pay instead of two in their next paycheck if the government shuts down. Military personnel at home and abroad would continue to earn pay, but they would not get further paychecks until there is a budget agreement and government operations resume. The government said about 400,000 civilian Defense Department employees would be furloughed, with another 400,000 remaining on the job. Only about 10,000 Veterans Affairs employees would be furloughed, out of a workforce of more than 300,000.
Also, Fox news reports that: Lawmakers worked through the night Thursday to try to reach a budget deal, but with no word on their progress, it was unclear whether or not there would be an announcement in the morning that a federal shutdown had been avoided. And with a shutdown possible as early as midnight at the end of Friday, time is almost up. Following another high-stakes meeting with congressional leaders Thursday evening, President Obama said he expected an answer early Friday on whether or not an agreement had been reached.
Now I have to say you’re the president! You can pass whatever you want; you can veto whatever you want. Why do this to our solders? They defend our Nation! This is just as crazy as ever! Makes me never want to vote again!
Now, the Republicans and Democrats are going to keep battling till are solders have no funds! Can you imagine being a solder overseas fighting for your country and your country stops paying you; or how about being a wife to one of those solders who rely on that paycheck to keep the bills up and you no longer receive any money? I can because I am an Army wife and I love that title; however I don’t think it’s fair to watch my husband leave all the time and risk his life and have no pay.
Here is what it says for the military: Key national security responsibilities, including operations in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya and earthquake assistance to Japan would not be interrupted by a shutdown, the Pentagon said. U.S. military troops, including those at war, would receive one week's pay instead of two in their next paycheck if the government shuts down. Military personnel at home and abroad would continue to earn pay, but they would not get further paychecks until there is a budget agreement and government operations resume. The government said about 400,000 civilian Defense Department employees would be furloughed, with another 400,000 remaining on the job. Only about 10,000 Veterans Affairs employees would be furloughed, out of a workforce of more than 300,000.
Also, Fox news reports that: Lawmakers worked through the night Thursday to try to reach a budget deal, but with no word on their progress, it was unclear whether or not there would be an announcement in the morning that a federal shutdown had been avoided. And with a shutdown possible as early as midnight at the end of Friday, time is almost up. Following another high-stakes meeting with congressional leaders Thursday evening, President Obama said he expected an answer early Friday on whether or not an agreement had been reached.
Now I have to say you’re the president! You can pass whatever you want; you can veto whatever you want. Why do this to our solders? They defend our Nation! This is just as crazy as ever! Makes me never want to vote again!

Jessica's two cents: The Soap Opera continues....
Spring break was fun till the end! I had a wonderful week playing with my girls! Horseback riding, playing with the baby goats and more! Wish the weather would have been a little better but, it was a blast. So, when Spring break was coming to an end my brother went back to his ex! His ex is a crazy lady who runs around naked smoking pot in front of her children; why would you go back. She has banned my brother from ever speaking to me or my children. Had the nerve to tell my daughter to say a cuss word to me! Where does her drama stop! This woman is absolute crazy and doesn’t even want my brother! She just wants a guy to stay at home take care of her children while she cheats on him. AWWWW!!! Hear my head hitting the wall wondering why men go back to a woman who could possibly kill your children. You know you’re putting them in danger! WHY? Okay now that my rant is over great news!! School board got both my daughters a private tutor and they are surpassing in their grades and studies!! My daughter that has the horrible teacher went to tutoring 2 times this week and has already learned everything that she needs to pass second grade! Apparently I was right about my daughter she is a freaking genius (like her mother…lol). So, now I would love to know what they are going to do about the teacher now that they know it was not my daughter being mentally challenged, but that it was the teacher NOT doing her job! I really don’t care because my daughter no longer comes home crying, but in fact feels really good about herself; on the other hand what about the rest of the kids the teacher teaches??? Tune in next week for another episode of Jessica two cents. I love this blog!!!!!!!!!!!
Teen Mom TV show is gone in the wrong direction!
This week I think we need to discuss the show teen mom! This show has become an epidemic! Ok to let you know what it is here is how Wikipedia describes it: Teen Mom is an American reality television series that premiered on MTV on December 8, 2009. The series is a spin-off of 16 and Pregnant, and chronicles the lives of four of the original teenagers from that series as they navigate their first year of motherhood. In addition to teenage motherhood, the series focuses on themes of changing relationships, specifically, those of the family, friends, couples and school. It shows the struggles teenagers have to go through to raise their children.
My thoughts when I watched the first thing was thank God those are not my children. This season was even crazier. The whole point of this show is to show the struggles teens have to go through so that other teens don’t get pregnant. However, I am confused why the state never files any charges on these girls and if you went on the show for the right reason you would point out that you loved your child but, look how hard it is. If this was my show I would focus on all the struggles that you really go through. For an example getting up nonstop through the night making bottles and changing diapers, waking up tired and sleeping when the baby is napping! Also, teething! That is a nightmare itself. Instead they show moments of them being happy go lucky.
If you want to make a point do what MSNBC news did and post an article on the bad. Here’s what MSNBC had to report: What will it take before MTV fires 'Teen Mom' Evans? Network likely won't cut her loose since show is about bad decisions, pop culture expert says. First, let's review Evans' ever-growing rap sheet.
Before yesterday's arrest in Oak Island, N.C., for that highly publicized brawl, the 19-year-old reality star and her slacker boyfriend, Kieffer Delp, were busted last October after allegedly breaking into an Oak Island house and getting caught with marijuana.
Consequently, she'll be in court April 26 for a hearing on misdemeanor drug charges and breaking and entering stemming from that case. Then on April 29, she'll have to answer to even more counts of breaking and entering, injury to real property, trespassing and making harassing phone calls in a separate case.
With all that alleged law-breaking under her belt, one wonders when execs at MTV might deem her too radioactive to justify her firing.
Don't hold your breath, according to one pop-culture watcher.
According to Robert Thompson, director of the Bieier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University, there doesn't seem to be much outrage targeting the show—mainly because "Teen Mom" explores the idea of bad role models. And there are so many bigger celeb meltdowns these days grabbing the spotlight (see Sheen, Charlie; Lohan, Lindsay).
"Charlie Sheen was on the network of Edward R. Murrow, CBS, and he got a pretty long leash before they finally took him to the pound," Thompson tells E! News. "And here were talking MTV. Not only is MTV a totally different brand than something like CBS, but secondly we're talking about a show about people who've made bad decisions so it's not surprising."
Thompson says that given the content of the current crop of reality shows, viewers would be more surprised if participants didn't have some sort of shady past. What matters more, however, is the kind of uproar generated by interest groups, such as the Parents Television Council for instance, who track and condemn their bad behavior. The PTC has issued several "action alerts" targeting "Teen Mom," but nothing has stuck.
Then they are starting to become TV stars like Macey off the first season. Here’s part of an article from TV blurred talking about her joining Jersey Shores. When the Jersey Shore cast heads to Italy for their third season in a few weeks, they’ll be joined by the cast of Teen Mom, including their babies. MTV said in a press release that “combining the casts of MTV’s most-popular series will give viewers even more of the drunken fights and drama they crave in their authentic entertainment.” The group will live together in a former convent that has been renovated to include baby changing tables attached to stripper poles.
All this makes me sick! I won’t even allow MTV to play at my house anymore. I don’t need my eight year old to think this is the way the world works!!!
