I have written in this thing for months.
I know a couple of you know this person, so i need advice.
Renee is living with us again, and treats us like crap. She currently has not showerd in 5 days, she leaves her crap around, drinks all of the alchol in the house that i use for GUESTS to offer them, shes not even 21. She has no car and makes us drive her around everywhere, ya, she works 2 jobs but whatever,she doesnt pay for rent, doesnt help with the bills, yet has over 1k in her bank account.
Andrew wont listen to me when i say to kick her out and i understadn that because she is family, but when it gets to the point of her telling me that my life isnt worth living, im a horrible mother, and then she SLAPS my almost 1 year old for taking a piece of paper off of the desk. Excuse me but you do not slap my child. If she is doing something you dont want her to do, come get me or andrew and tell her no, we will handle it.
She has no where to go, so in a sense i cant jsut kick her out, but it really needs to be done because i cant handle this anymore. last time she showerd, she tool an hour and a half just in the shower, and doesnt pay the bills.
Im working, im going to school full time, and im a full time mother. Andrew works full time. How in the hell does that make us bad parents? at least we can support ourseleves and our child and she cant do shit.
What should i do??? |

So yeah, it has been awhile since i actually bothered to update this thing.
Things are going wonderfully. Andrew and I have set a date of August 18 for the wedding which will be amazing. We already have the wedding bands which are absolutley beautiful (he picked them out).
I have just about six weeks to go before this little baby decides to enter the world. My goodness is she kicking a lot...i didnt think little girls could kick that hard.
Andrew and I are moving this summer, probably in late may/early june. Im excited, he hasnt really ever LIVED in the city, so it should be an interesting expirience.
I bought the Departed and The Prestige recently. The Departed was good, yet confusing and we are watching the Prestige tonight because we are both interested in seeing it.
I cant believe i only have six weeks to go before having a little girl....insanity.
But i love it. |

God life is really getting better.
I made some friends, which is awesome, I am actually going out and doing shit, which is awesome, and i am spending a lot of quality time with Andrew. YAY!
I got this call today from im assuming it is "the bitch" saying i was going to hell. Haha....whatever, If i go to hell, i go to hell, there is no need for the immaturity here people....seriously. The most ORIGINAL AND HURTFUL thing someone can tell another person is "go to hell". Wow sense the sarcasm?
I came home this weekend to have brunch with the grandparents, i suppose that went well. They know about the baby now everyhting is fine.
Overall, life is really getting better. I have awesome friends that will REMAIN friends with me forever, and those of you who havent, well that is your choice. I wish all the best to you. |

I spent the weekend feeling crappy and sick.
Found out on sunday i have an infection, so i am on meds.
Today, class was hard. I didnt realize psych was so complicated. Oh well.
I am very lonely. I am not meeting as many people as i thought i would here, maybe i should like...join some clubs or something. Ah well, dont really know what to say about that one.
I am really not sure what is on my mind right now. I want to go paint, or draw or write, but i have a huge creativity blockage right now. Any ideas how to fix it?
Any ideas on what i should do in general to make me feel less lonely? |

I often sit and wonder how I can be in love with such a wonderful person who is currently sitting here and reading this as I type.
Anyways, school/class is going well, yeah for comp 3.....
Everything else is going great. I had special pictures taken yesterday and let me just say........this is too real and i love it.
I'm happy with life.
But I miss people.
I am working on an amazing pencil drawing of Andrew and I right now, it looks pretty good |

I am going to start out by saying that I am a strong person. A very strong person. Nothing bothers me anymore.
I have really matured this past year, and for all of you who think i Havent, you know what? go fuck yourselves. I havent been drunk, i havent been on pills, that is not me anymore. So those of you who talk bullshit about me, and who LIE BLATANTLY about me, I am wayyyyyyyy past done. I don't need you in my life. I am doing the right thing and nothing is going to stop me this time.
As far as this whole Ashley sit. goes, I just heard from my sister you have been saying some NASTY shit about me. This isnt the first time this has happend. I should have known that all the other times we have fought just to give up and be done. I dont want anything to do with you anymore, you hurt me, you hurt my best friend, and i am just not going to tolerate that. You rarely support me on any decisions, and when you do, you think i lie about everything. The only reason i have even stuck around you, is because i honestly thought you might have had a chance at maybe improving your attitude and given me a reason to be your friend. I am not going to sit here and say shit about you, because it is immature. Im not going to call you names, im not going to act like a two year old; but i am going to say this: You are not worth my time. I am over you, im over your attitude, im over your spoiled selfishness, im over your so called friendship to me. And, you will NEVER EVER gain it back. I live in Saginaw now, where i am going to school(as most of you know) so hopefully i wont have to deal with the lot of you who *used* to make me make poor choices. If there is one major thing i learned this past year, it was to stick up for myself and know who I am. I dont need to drink or smoke or do drugs to be happy, i don't need to date someone to be happy, although i am now. As for critiscizing my boyfriend, I love him DEARLY, and i know you don't like him Ashley, and honestly it is probably because he didnt hit on you the first 20 mins of knowing him.
I have grown up, and i know not to take shit anymore. This whole thing isnt getting to me and it wont. I think you are the one who needs to grow up, not rely on being the center of attention, and mature. At one point in time, i thought you were a great person, but manipulating certain friends and i friendships was the absolute last straw for everything. I realized how much i dont need you in my life, and how much i dont want you. I have amazing friends, both here and so many up north. I have the most amazing families, both the Lyttles( i love you guys) and my biological family. Thats another thing. Family means the absolute world to me, i truly found this out last year. I spent so many hours and days just being with family, it made me realize i used to take a lot for grantit.
If the last year had never happend, i wouldnt be the new and improved person i am now. I know a few of you don't and never will see that, but if you cant accept it, then please, leave now. Leave my life now because i dont need the influence. I dont want to be the old me anymore, i dont want to be the bad manda anymore. I want to stay the way I am. I know i only really have a few true supporters down here, but the few of you that are, let me tell you that i love you more than anything. As for my up-north life- you guys always and always will support me(Sam, Chris, Mom and dad L, Dave, Mike, Megs, Sarah, Tiff..)
Andrew you also get a special thanks because you love me for who i am. We may be the complete opposite and people never would have pictured us together, but here we are, still standing strong how many months later?????
You can call me immature ashley, go ahead. It doesnt phase me. Nothing you say doesnt phase me because i know that my true friends will stick by me no matter what. Personally, i think that I am being the mature one. Im speaking the absolute truth. After this entry is finished, i am done. I dont want to be contacted by you, and no, there are not any second chances this time. There is honestly nothing you can do to fix this.
You know? years down the road, i am going to look back at this entry, realize how much i have changed, and consider the fact that did i lose a good friend? But then im going to say: " No, i lost someone i needed to lose, someone who brought me down." and im going to look at the people who remain in my life and hug them and continue living.
That is what is going to happen after this, im going to continue living. Im not depressed about this whole thing, im not even mad anymore because i know i am ending it. Im not going to go drink or smoke, because something liek this doesnt affect me anymore. I know i have said this a thousand times in this email and i apologize for that.
Some day, when i become a famous author, teacher of the year, certain people are going to look back and wish that they had been invited to my ceremonies.
Well you guys can hope and wish, but i'm not putting you on the guest list.
Thanks to everyone who brightens my day, who brightens my life, who made me understand.
Screw all of you who think i did nothing and will do nothing. I'm better than that. |

Do any of you realize how long it has been since i have updated this damn thing?
Life has been great. I got an apartment in Saginaw where i am going to school in the fall. I will miss certain people, you know who you are, but hey, that is life.
I am still dating that wonderful man. I love him dearly.
I just got into it with ashley, i called her some names because i truly realize how much of a selfish bitch she is. Im sorry, but the whole world doesnt need to revolve around you sweetheart, and dont go around telling people that your pregnant, because honestly, your not, and just because other people are getting attention or more than you, doesnt mean you need to go around doing that. Also, when you hear something about me or anyone else, dont automatically assume it is true and go around telling everyone, seriously, how immature can you be? Are you what....like five now? Yeah. Thats what i thought.
I realized today how much i miss Dave and Mike and Matt and Megan and Sarah and Sara W and Tiff. I made such amazing friends this year and have only seen 4 of them all summer (yes dave and mike and matt and tiff..ozzfest was indeed awesome..well tiff wasnt there but i saw her like a week before). I really hope to see some of you this fall, you should all come and see me.
In other news, I move monday which should be exciting. Im not nervous, i think this past year really helped me figure out life, and I truly thank those of you(you, again know who you are) for helping become a much better and stronger person. i love you guys. P.S Sam: I hope RAing is fun 3 weeks before the official term starts *grin*
I love all of you soo much
Btw: Monday will be exactly a year since ive been....the old me. |

I have continued making amazing friends. For the first time in my life, i can safely say i know everyones name and they know me. I mean...compared to how i was last year, i know so many more people.
Ohhhh pretty handgun... sorry im looking at pics of this handgun i am eventually getting.
You know, it is weird. I miss all ya'll, but i like it so much up here. Hmmmm.

So, this whole being home thing is strange, it feels like i am visiting my parents, which is essentially what i'm doing but hey.
Christmas has been good, my long lost aunt/godmother showed up for christmas eve so that was a surprise. Moms side of the family is still,well, her side. Got a bunch of clothes, a sweater, a REAL gucci purse (i'd seen this in the store and i'd wanted it), a tattoo ( i'm finally getting it done tomorrow morning, so if you wanna coem with, lemme know), my cartilidge pierced,Victoria's Secret giftcard. All from her and my step dads side oh and random checks.
Spent majority of day/night with my dad who i got a 30gig Ipod video (its black and sweet), an easel, a watercolor set, a sketch set, the entire star wars collection on dvd,gift cards to best buy, Greenday and Queens of the Stonage cd,a care bears blanket, the sims 2 nightlife, ITRIP for the Ipod.
Overall, it was a wonderful christmas. I think it's funny that i didnt ask for anything, yet get sweet stuff.
My birthday was sweet too, got some fun stuff, but it was all mentioned above. Tomorrow i am going with my mom and my aunt to get my tattoo done. Not at all nervous actually, i think it will be sweet and it will turn out sweet, so ya.
Im just sitting here doing nothing now that i ate dinner (mmm turkey). So, if you wanna come over and watch dvds with me..hint hint...tonight, then call me. Cuz i really dont have a life...ya know?
I Love each and every one of you |
