This was my last weekend before officially becoming a "SAHW" (Stay at home wife) I figure every other website is making akronyms or abbreviations for things so I decided as well.
I have to stay with the hip times somehow!
On my last weekend I had to learn the ropes of what a stay at home wife does and who better to learn from
We all know she is the ultimate stay at home wife and mom! so I took everything I could under my wing so I could be the best!
While being a stay at home wife...
You get to follow your husband to the golf course and be his personal driver
but when you get bored sitting there while they smack balls around...get your wine to go!
While being a stay at home wife...
You get to go on many lunch dates! in the middle of the week where NO ONE is in the restaurant!
While being a stay at home wife...
You get to wear whatever you want at any time!
whether this be your husbands golf sweatshirt or a sweatshirt that is a wee bit too small
obviously we would never ever go out in public like this
(These types of outfit are for the home only!)
While being a stay at home wife...
You get to travel to see all your family in the tri-cities and celebrate your grandma's 96th birthday without having to worry about work in the morning!
While being a stay at home wife...
You can have time to help your cousin's son learn how to walk in 3 inch heels
I have had great posts from you guys about keeping my head up while I have been having troubles with my work. I was trying to hold my tongue to not feel like a negative nancy of whining about my job, so i apologize for those of you following me on twitter. I should know when to shut the f up when people quit talking to me.
So I will give an update and I am asking for ideas! My work found my blog sexually explicit for photos/videos/language so I went to work on Tuesday after Labor Day I was polite and nice about all the petty things that had happened that previous Friday.
I'm not going to walk around being a bitch just cause I'm in trouble. I may be 23 but I am a lot more sophisticated to not act like that.
I said, "Good Morning!" to my boss
nothing.
I work diligently, get what I need to get done and go home.
"See you tomorrow!"
nothing.
really?! This coming from a person who has taken me under their wing to help me succeed at my job and when he threw me under the bus he was driving by showing my blog to the big wigs. I get to be treated like I am not even there. awesome!
So I work Tuesday to Friday--Friday 3:15 comes along...
I get off at 4
"Hey Taylor we need to talk, you are actually removed from service pending the results of your investigation, you weren't actually supposed to be working this whole week and we didn't know"
Me- "Oh ok no worries since it's Friday 45 minutes before I leave anyways!
Them-"Also you should take your personal things out of your office"
Me, "wow"
So I am bawling my eyes out and no I am not fired but that's what they are trying to do. I will have my results at the end of the month to see if I am still employed. Which sucks because none of the things I have gotten in trouble for have anything to do with my actual work. Everything has been done to 110% above average.
haters.
So I want to start looking for something possibly new, for if I get my job back or if I don't. I need a change and a spark in my life! I am a bubbly person, very smart! and driven to be good at everything.
Best thing about being a Scorpio--they want to strive to be better than everyone else.
I went to Montana to my Mom's house for our 2nd Annual Fallen Hero Benefit in honor of my cousin, Sgt. Brandon Hocking KIA 3/21/11 Iraq and another soldier whose aunt lives in Montana Sgt. Lucas Pyeatt KIA 2/5/11
My Mom hosts a silent auction where she has people from all around the area where she lives; Kalispell, Whitefish, Bigfork, etc. All these business donate a few items to be silent auctioned off and all the proceedings go to The Fisher House, which helps wounded heroes and their families are moved onto the campus so they can be close to their hero while they are being rehabilitated.
My uncle who may have lost his son, Brandon. Gained my Brandon
Yes, this is Howie Longs autograph! he lives somewhere near my mom, of course I couldn't shake his address outta him, sorry girls
All items went anywhere from $10 to $1800! which the only item that was sold for that was the bronze Horse and Mare up top! I got a chalkboard pig which is so adorable!
We also had a raffle $1 for 1 ticket or $5 for 6 tickets, for smaller items like car washes, oil changes, movie bundle, necklaces, and stuffed animals
This was for all ages!
We did a BBQ where Hamburgers and Hot Dogs were sold for $5 and you got chips and a drink!
EVERYTHING WAS DONATED! So the food was free for my mom to bring in.
All the proceedings went to Fisher House.
Our Grand Total
$9, 167.00!!!!
How amazing is that! In a town of not even half that many people in full population! I was so proud of my mom and my uncle was in awe. He is so happy that so many people care about our Men and Women in service and also honoring his son, Brandon.
This year we kicked ass!!!
next year is going to be epic and just keep building on and on!
We are trying to brainstorm more ideas in order to get more publicity and more donations to help the Fisher House. What I learned is that we say, "Fallen Hero" instead of "Fallen Soldier" because "Soldiers" are in Marines and Army but "Seamen and Airmen" are Air Force and Navy. We wanted to touch on "Fallen HERO" to incorporate all branches of the US Military!
My cousin, Ashley made this video in his memory, if you have a spare 6 minutes please watch! it really is moving!
So as most of you who follow me know I am going through hard times at work..they have taken it to a whole new level!!!
they said that my blog contains "pornographic and sexually explicit" content...
Some people just cant handle the word
PENIS
whatever anyways I'm not letting it bother me at all I think it is hysterical that they can even say that because ummm this blog is about me...I see more of myself when I am going to the restroom than you do on my blog...but they do like to pick on the weak tits of this mama cat...and that will not be me!
So...I found something "pornographic" that is hysterical...
no worries its not real porn
please take a few shots before watching otherwise I am going to feel like a complete dumbass!
Here's your "pornographic material"
the only pornographic material that will be on this blog!!!
I have noticed A LOT of bloggers that are either on a health kick or are vegans, something along the lines of they don't eat meat.
But...
Did you guys know that while you are being a vegetarian 90% of the make up you buy has animal fats or animal by products in it?
So you may not be eating that fabulous seasoned rib-eye or the Colonial's spicy chicken wings...you are in fact putting that on your skin! Whether you like it or not it is soaking into your bloodstream.
So you might as well have been eating it.
26 seconds for products to be soaked into your blood stream, then sent through your cells into your heart.
Try something new!

This is by the far going to be the most eventful Friday of my life!!! I can't wait to tell you all about it!
But for this weekend I plan on going to see my drag of a cousin Raven who is forcing me to come out to dumb Lake Roosevelt and go boating bore but I guess I will shove my fat ass into a teensy tiny bikini to hang out with her.
I think she should start paying me to hang around her...
Just kidding Ravie you know I love you to pieces!!
Another note...it is officially football season!!
I love my Saints to pieces and even though they have all this drama going on they are going to have to come out on top just to prove to the NFL that they can try to prove a point...but it's not going to actually hurt them.
I love my Raiders...yes I have 2 teams...Raiders I was born into. My entire mom's side have been Raider fans and whats not to love about a bunch of badass looking fans as well? If you are literally scared to wear the opposing team to a Raider game...I think they are doing something right.
My Seahawks...yes 3 teams...EVERYONE has to love their home team no matter what! When my Hawks play my other teams I always stick to home!....except one year and I paid for it when the Hawks stomped my Saints...but I am a huge shit talker and went to Seattle with "I'm just gonna wear the winning team"...in Saints gear I went home crying my eyes out and basically felt like I had betrayed my city.
I can not wait for this years games though, my dad has season tickets and has already given Brandon and I tickets for the November 11 game against the God Damn Jets! Birthday Game!!!
(Mines Nov. 10 Brandon is Nov. 13)
So this year Seattle, Saints, Raiders don't let me down!!!! I don't care which one of you go to the superbowl...just as long as it's 1 of these!!!!
Preferably my Hawks...we all can agree they need a little bit of help also since we got screwed out of the first superbowl by the flippen STEELERS!!! you assholes!
Time for tailgating! chips and dip! blow up doll dates! beer bongs, pinterest super bowl parties!, and Have great fun with great friends!
I am NOT a political person at all! I don't follow politics, I honestly just a m going to go through my life and whatever happens in the world happens.
I also keep my mouth shut!
since I don't vote I have no reason to talk, bring up, or even remotely think about politics
plus it is a never winning subject and I believe Politics, Religion, and Abortions should NOT be brought up in a day to day conversation.
everyone gets pissed 99% of the time...and we are all entitles to our opinion, right?
ok enough jabber
I am not sharing this video because I know exactly what they are talking about and want a discussion...as a matter of fact I don't really know what they are protesting I just think it is hilarious and these girls are cute doing this "Call me Maybe" spoof
I feel so old now as I remember being in the delivery room as the surgeon cut my mom open and pulled out this black hair, short, squatty, covered in goo, and screaming bloody murder baby girl.
But she was so beautiful! I asked my mom for years and years to give me a baby sister since everyone knows baby brothers always smell funny. tee hee!
I got my wish when I was 8 years old and people ask me if I wanted to be closer in age to my sister that way we could have gone to school together, played barbies, played in general.
Never
I got to learn techniques of how to be "motherly" with my baby sister, now being 8 years older I get to be the cool sister that drove her and her friends around, I let them watch rated R movies when my mom would leave for the night, I got to buy her cool clothes when i get my first job.
I have loved every moment of being able to watch my sister blossom into this beautiful young woman instead of missing milestones by only being a few years or few months apart
T
My first day of 1st grade. About a month later it was my turn for show and tell I had been the only student my teacher ever had in her teaching career that wanted to bring her baby sister into class....Oh and my new kittens!
Sylena in the middle, born with jet black hair turned blonde and super long!
She is a tall drink of water
She got her first car!! Happy sweet 16!
I took her bowling with my girlfriend Jennifer
I have to give credit to the momma for raising both us girls amazingly well, giving us everything we could want and pushing us to always do better. As a person. In life. Always be true to yourself and true to others.
I love my baby sister to death and couldn't imagine having grown up without her. She is a varsity Cheerleader for her high school, on honor roll, lots of friends, has a level head of wanting diversity around her. The biggest heart you could ever imagine, she has always been caring, generous, polite, sweet, and just an all around great person. I am so proud of her and can't wait to see where life takes her.
right now she is thinking of being a nurse, so if any of you ever get her as your nurse in the future you will definitely be in the hands of an angel!
