May He Rest In Peace

It has been reported that a portion of James Doohans remains will be sent into space on Saturday...two years after the beloved actor passed away. I cannot think of a more fitting way for him to be remembered. I think this is what I would like to have done, but I doubt that the family would allow it.

WOW!

A 19-year-old young lady from the Detroit area is graduating...from college! This woman has done in 1 year what it is going to take me six. I am in shock and awe at what this amazing lady has done. She starts next year at a law school and I wonder how long it will take her to finish that!

Thanks Deb

You're...
My friend,
My companion,
Through good times and bad,

My friend,
My buddy,
Through happy and sad,

Beside me you stand,
Beside me you walk,
You're there to listen,
You're there to talk,

With happiness,
With smiles,
With pain and tears,
I know you'll be there, throughout the years!

You are all good friends to me and I am grateful for you


I recieved this poem from one of my sister-in-laws and thought I should share it..it is so beautiful.

Why Not Me?

You know I am always picking up other people's garbage but yet have I found 1 cent let alone a lottery ticket worth $15 dollars! The lucky couple who did cashed it in and bought another ticket and managed to win $1,000! The fact that I usually am just picking up after my kids who only throw real trash out may have something to do with my bad luck in this department, but I still say that this is a really lucky couple!

Vermont Has Lost It

Vermont is trying to push through impeachment hearings for George W. proving that this poor state needs more help than I do when it comes to pleading SANE! "There hasn't been a president who has worked harder for impeachment hearings than President Bush and Vice President Chaney" was the quote from Democratic Senate President Peter Shumlin. I, personally, have not seen anything but a man trying his best to make this country a better place to live, a safer place to live. Makes you wonder where some of these people store their brains because it is obvious that they are not being used.

How Could A Father Be Like That?

My mother sent me a link to a blog...and the blog led me to another link...and that was the worst thing I ever clicked on! Alec Baldwin berating his own daughter in a way that I would not talk to my worst enemy! If that child has any self-esteem left I would be completely shocked. A parent should never speak to a child in such a way and the fact that this one is supposed to be one of the upstanding citizens of this day and age makes it all the worse! I have a child not but a year younger than his poor daughter and yeah she hacks me off on a daily basis. It is one of the rules of the preteen set. That, however, does not mean I would ever berate her or degrade her or threaten her the way that man did with his child! I think parents like that should be hung and shot and castrated and just maybe drug behind a bucking horse for a few miles. If the offending parent manages to survive all of that then maybe we will discuss further punishment!

Well this week has been a bundle of laughs here on the farm! The two older kids just got through with MAP testing and that has made them foul when they got home every night this week!! I don't think I am going to be able to handle next week when it is the first graders turn! She is just as bad at being a perfectionist as her mother and everything wrong is the worst of tragedies! Baseball practice is in full swing and that means two nights a week are spent on the ballfield and it may even get worse! They are trying to start a T-Ball team here and naturally the Bug will be joining..he has to do everything his big brother does. We have had a couple of tragedies here in my neighborhood this week and though I may go into them later, I really can't talk about either of them now. We are a very close community and the thought of two heartaches on the same day is very hard on all of us.

Alright so this week sucks and I am so ready for it to be over! It should be possible for me to speed things up around here, but I realize that would just bring the bad stuff all the sooner. I always thought I was a simple person, that it was easy to please me, but when an A- will sent me through the floor I realized that I may have problems. Maybe I am more complex than I thought. Then I realized the truth...I am just nuts!

At Least Now I Know I'm Not Normal LOL

Your Brain is 60% Female, 40% Male

Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female You are both sensitive and savvy Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve

What Gender Is Your Brain?

OK so I know that it has been awhile since my last post but this school stuff is harder than I thought. I am getting very good scores but it is still taking everything I have. Contrary to popular opinion I am not that intelligent and it is taking all my brain and energy just to make it through a week...and they are 7 day weeks at this school! The kids have been sick and I mean bad sick...the only one not affected is the diva queen baby. Naturally they have passed this on to me so I am doing double duty as nursemaid and patient. JR is having a good time on this chat site we are on..he loves to meet new people. I have met a couple of really interesting people on there too but usually I just talk to those I already know and have conned into signing up. Well, I think that that is all the news and I need to get back to my homework...so until next time...BEHAVE..OR AT LEAST LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES LOL
