What a week! I'm glad it's in the file, safely stashed away never to be visited again. We had the most awesome Substitute Assistant Principal yesterday, or it could have been MUCH worse. He was great and really took a lot of stress off the half of the office staff who were here. Some school will snatch him up real quick... he just had a presence about him. And I bet if he had to he could run as fast and Cristie and I. But we run in heels so we still have one up on him.
Check, check, Jody had treatment #5 yesterday. So we're in for a yucky day today... I'll just have to keep the noise level to a minimum (that's only a problem when Jolea is home) and not make any sudden moves. Oh yeah, and no odors.... odors are really bothering him. Everything smells REALLY bad right now. I'm not going to get very close to him, he said something on me smelled bad yesterday. I don't wear a lot of perfume, and I didn't do outside recess yesterday so I know I didn't smell like a wet goat or anything. I didn't even ride my bike to school, not that I break a sweat riding 2 blocks from the school to the house. I had to move away from him.... only three more treatments, only three more treatments, I can do this.... where's my wine? I'll take that big box over there. I didn't cook dinner last night, he wasn't able to eat anything other than crackers. I went to Taco Bell and got a burrito for myself and whipped into Braum's for a half gallon of chocolate ice cream for him. I debated on eating the burrito out in the car... but the ice cream was getting mushy. I don't guess the smell of the burrito bothered him. I'll go back into Taco Bell today and rub some taco sauce on my arms if he says anything this morning about me. Whatever it takes Buddy,,,, you know I'll do it for ya!
Today's sunrise:
When I open this pic on the laptop you can see the orb. I don't think it's showing on this.... it's in a slightly different position this time.
I need blogging lessons, will someone please email me how to pull stuff off the internet. Davia sent me a really cool video of an orb, I'd love to show it to everyone.
Hey did anyone else fall asleep while McCain was talking last night? Maybe that's something he can do for the country.... help us sleep and become the most well rested country on the planet. He's clearly been to the Bush Bumbling Speaker Academy. I know some of my readers (Michael) will think I'm picking on McCain, it's just that when Obama would speak I'd wake up again... I started watching it at about 9:30 when I went to bed... so maybe McCain was just tired by then, and had lost all feeling in his tongue. I'm so glad they didn't have a live audience. Clappers just take up so much time, and then the heads start swelling... not a pretty sight.
I don't want this post to turn out like one of Maria's with name calling and snide remarks, so I'll tell you right now... It's my party and I'll cry if I want to! In other words, I am free to say what ever I want in my blog. I welcome your comments, those of you who comment. Everyone is entitled to your opinion just remember, I have the power to delete!
First off I don't care who the President is now or in the future.... I WILL NEVER GIVE UP MY GUNS! As Crazy Cora told Matthew Quigley in the movie Quigley Down Under, when he asked her if she could use a pistol - "I am a natural born Texican!" By being a natural born Texican I have every right to own and carry a pistol if I feel like it. Those of you living in other states, talk to your State Reps... That will make Mikey happy. And no I don't have a license, I don't have to use my gun that much.
If I come up with another strong political feeling in the coming weeks I'll just blurt them out for your comments. Most of mine will be trivial request that will be shoved under the rug, but hey... the big problems just seem to get stomped into the rug and nothing done about them so I may as well throw out some little things the Government could maybe look into.
Like annoying phone sales calls.... I know they devised a phone number for us to call and have them blocked, but we should not have to make a call. I think the majority of us HATE these calls, just ban them all together. If by chance there is a person out there that is so lonely that they need these calls to interrupt their dinner or call at 7 in the morning (we just had one) then that person needs to call the siding company and say "Hey, call me back and annoy me will ya?"
It should be against the law to call someone out of the blue and sell them something. This is America,,, land of 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch rectangles of plastic with raised numbers that makes us feel powerful! When in all actuality causes us to be stupid and later suffer from depression. If we want to buy something we'll by it, by God! We don't need any one to call us and tell us to buy, buy, buy! Jody told the siding man that we lived in a car... tee hee. I think the government should look into that.
Gotta go... someone is cookinig Menudo and it's polluting the air. That is a smell from my younger years I had hoped I'd never have to smell again. Oh well, I'll just get the laundry started earlier today and be off to purchase the newest Pat Green CD. Yikes, I just remembered... I didn't put the top up on my car last night... dewy seats!

i watched the debate for about 3 mins then i got real angry and my shipmates thought i had turrets syndrome, and i stormed out of the room cussing about not watching mccains stupid face. 30 seconds later Celine came in the room and said "will you come back to living room? we changed the channel." hahahahhahaha..... mccain is a loooooooserrrrrrrrr! yeah he makes just about as much sense as gw.
Oh, I was hoping for someone who had watched longer than me... I think I made it through two questions. Or Maybe they were on one question and switched to another but I didn't hear how it turned out.
I listened to the entire debate. Yes, both sides! I drank a lot of Red Bull when JM spoke because I wanted to hear what he had to say. I'm really into understanding the enemy.
IIf you have a Mac, I can tell you how to pull photos or videos from the net and post them easily. I'm betting you don't have a Mac, do you? If that's the case, ask Maria, she knows how it's done for nonMac folks.
I sincerely hope President Obama has no designs on me turning in my pistol. What would Quigley have done without his pistola at the end of the movie? Hans Gruber/Severus Snape is hard to kill without a sidearm.
I would love to write a post that gets the kind of energy that Maria gets, positive or negative.
I like the way you put that 'understanding the enemy.' I really want to know all the pros and cons on both... We are a somewhat divided camp here at home. Jody is such a red neck/blue collar guy. It's hard for him to change. I'm pretty red neck, but I guess I'm just sick and tired of the same old crap. And the one part of the debate that I did hear loud and clear was that McCain doesn't want to "loose the war." He's a soldier, he'll go down fighting. I'm proud of what he did in VietNam, but that's over and done, that battle can't be won here and now. It's sad, no one want to feel like a failure. It's like raising a child, we helped them clean up the mess, we brushed them off and stood them back on their own feet, now let them start back on the trail alone... with us standing back and watching. I just think McCain will follow in the footsteps of the last 8 years and we just can't keep 'keeping on.'
My family members are going to disown me!
No Mac here, but Jolea showed me when she was at home. Either she, Maria or Lyvvie will email me directions.
Being disowned is awesome! You're the one that everybody will be talking about. You have the power to change the seating arrangements at Thanksgiving. Life is about power and you wield it now. Go forth and challenge the deep-rooted status quo.
God
Aye,aye Capitan, I will do as you command!
My statement to those who talk about me has always been "you picked a DAMN good subject, go ahead blow your dress up (or your hair back... which ever fits, it's usually the women though...)!"
I had the ENTIRE Fam-damily for Thanksgiving last year.... NEVER again! The modest suburban home isn't big enough, and the neighbors were pissed because we took up all the parking space. Been there, done that, someone else's turn.
On those obnoxious phone calls (I'm skipping politics), tell them you would love to buy their product, but first your four year old wants to sing the song she learned in school today, then start singing a sentence from a Barney song in a four year old voice over and over and over and over and over, and I guarantee they will hang up, not call you again and will probably put you on the "no call list" themselves.
Or just repeat word for word what they say.
I learned this kind of thing from an ex-client - it worked for her!
PS Hang tight with the smell thing - it will get better for him, but anything you can do to not irritate him...
hmmmmmmmm... Taco Bell... Ice Cream...
I did almost that same thing with a heavy breather one time... I told him I was really busy and I'd just set the phone down and he could start without me. In a few minutes I heard the dial tone.
