Rough Night
Yesterday, after my normal noon mtg, sucked! Jake has been screwing up in school. He is NOT a bad child, he had just gotten to the 'teenage' point where he is not communicating with me. His grades are down, but I have established communication with his Algerbra teacher (that is a GOOD thing!) and have emailed his other three teachers. I have been so sick that I have allowed things to slip. I have to keep up. Not easy with medication that kicks your butt, sickness that kicks your butt, five kids, 3 animals, a crazy husband, full time job, etc.
Well......on my way to the Doc. BYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEe

Another Day
I taught my beginner computer class last night again. Got two more folks hooked up with email. Now I think I have gotten all the new students I am going to get so I can start teaching this bunch I have some more. They really enjoy learning.
I need a Graphics program where I can do text images and be able to manipulate it. Anybody have any ideas?? I have Adobe, but don't know how to create what I want. The text for my header on the blog was done by a friend. HELP!!

Molly
I live in a neighborhood where there is 2 or 3 children per household. In some cases there are 5 or 6 LOLOLOL. My son, George, hangs out with a group of boys his age. The play the Play Station, throw footballs, go fishing, etc. They are from 9 to 11 years old. Yesterday the whole group came in the house. I was laying on the couch. They brought in a little puppy (who looks like she's gonna get very big). She had the sweetest face. She immediately layed down on me and went to sleep. None of the kid's parents would let her stay. I did.......her name is Molly ;-)!

Just watched a good movie about a little boy whose mother dies and he gets hooked up with this white, unemployed man who eventually finds his father and the boys goes and lives with his father. He still loves the white man though.
I've been laying down all day. I'm starting to feel a little better. Ups and downs, that how life is ;-)!

I'm pissed at Leroy
And I am not even going to say why. I will say he is a turd, doo doo head, poop. I'm hot, it's hot here. I ordered Domino's Pizza, and I am going to eat it all.
Plastic snowmen in the yard. Not one of my children has EVER seen snow. Well I better get my little girls in the bath. I have to get groceries tomorrow. Can you tell I'm not with it this evening???
Send snow to Tampa, Florida.

Have you seen the people out there!!!!!!!!!!!
I do not like to shop. I don't like being around a lot of people. Crowds constict me. I get irritated. I want outta there! I did it though. Went to K Mart, Target, and to a boot store. Then we (I took the boys with me) went to Wendy's and had a burger. The boot store had a big sale and Leroy has always said he wanted a pair of cowboy boots, so I got him some snake skin boots. He'll be a REAL black redneck now LOLOLOL!
I am scare to even open the Quicken and start putting the stuff in. Think I will wait until tomorrow. I did get all the grandkids $20 gift certificates from Target, and $75 ones for Markeda and Joy. I got Jake a Buccaneers Starter outfit and a Bucs shirt, and a couple of other things. Got Jamila a Diva Doll, Leighanne a Destiny's Child Barbie, George a CD player, and Destiny a big set of those blocks that attach and make a kitchen. She likes that. Plus other stuff. Underware, socks, shoes, etc.
I still have to get George some decent shoes, a couple of shorts and jeans for Jake. Couple of outfits and small toys for girls. Stuff for my Dad and Jane, Jake's girlfriend Anna, Lilly (my best friend). That should do it. I'm too tired to do anything else. I want to get the Christmas tree next weekend.
Maybe we can go to the drive in movies and see Harry Potter tonight or Saturday night.
