All Hell breaks lose
It is extremely possible that my Mother has Cancer. There are three suspicious spots on her spine. Cancer doesn't pop up on the spine all by itself.. it usually has spread from somewhere else. Most likely the lungs. Well, she has lung problems..soo.... The whole thing is quite disturbing. Her friend has Cancer and my mother is watching what the Chemo is doing to her, and Mom has refused to even think of treatment. Mom did that to me 6 years ago. Back then the Dr.'s thought she had Cancer. (but she didn't, she had Sarcoidosis) and she was going to refuse treatment then. Heavy sigh. I know she has every right to decide what is best for her.. but like I told her then.." I am not done with you. I still need my Mother"
On a lighter note. Todd and I went on a date and had a good time. We ate at Applebees and then went to a huge comedy show. There were 5 comedians and 3 were funny, 1 was okay funny and 1 was just down right insulting. But, it was nice to laugh and just be with my hubby.
I have been taking care of my Nephew the last two days. He was too sick to go to daycare. I just adore my Mikey. The last baby for the whole group of us. You can just imagine how spoiled that child is. LOL Mikey is 14 months old now and time is just slipping away. Before to long, he will be in Kindergarten.
Just like Nathan, my baby.. is now 7 and getting so tall. He has to fold himself into my lap. I miss my children when they were small, but I enjoy them now too.
My oldest is 11 and he is getting to be quite an interesting person. Converstations with him are starting to have a more mature point. LOL Of course he is getting more and more Snarky.... can't imagine where that comes from.. LOLOLOLOL
I am so anxious about becoming a teacher. I read two books that really talk about the reality of what a teacher has to deal with and how to set up the classroom and keep control and how to deal with other teachers and the administration and the shear amount of work involved and how I can basically KISS my personal time away for a long time. Anyone who thinks teachers work from 7-4 are sadly mistaken. It is scarey and I keep telling hubby I don't think I can do it. He insists that I can and that I will be fine.
My children have asked me to set a reading program for them over the summer. So, I gotta go a poster board and set up there names and numbers for books read. I need stickers for them to put on the board when the read a book and they will earn points. So many points will earn them something. I am thinking Dairy Queen dollars. I got 25 of them right now.
Nathan has to work on his handwriting, desperatly. Todd needs to practice taking notes and copying off an overhear... areas he is so weak in. They both need to learn how to type. I found a website for that. I also want them to do a research paper and then present their work to the family. LOL They will be so sorry I am a teacher. What is difficult.. they will be spending every other week with Grandma and Grandpa and they have NEVER had the kids do what I need them to work on. Brick wall there.
You will be happy to know that I am still taking my Prozac. It has helped tremendously. I have been so much more patient with my kids and have even willingly walked away from my computer to play with Nathan. I taught him to play Chess and one time we played cards. I don't play with my kids. I am to selfish. Bad Mommy. But, my patience is longer now and I am more mellow and less stressed out. Why do I always stop taking my medication? Why?... because I get lazy and I forget and I feel so good that I don't think I need it. So, please NAG me!!!
We got another turtle. He is a baby. Nathan named him Joey. Franklin, the big turtle, has accepted him. They are so cute under the heat lamp... the baby sitting on top of the big one. Umm.. Franklin is as big as the palm of my hand. Joey is is the size of a 50 cent piece.
So, I have two dogs, two turtles and a 45 gallon fish tank with humongous Goldfish in it. I would love a Corn Snake. :) Can you see my classroom?
I am a weather freak by the way. As we near Hurricane season, I have been back on Storm2K.com ... That is an awesome forum for proffesional and amaeture Meteorologists. I get better information and more information from them, than I do from the local weatherman.. who is censored. I have learned so much about weather and climates and terminology from there. I have been directed to awesome weather maps and sattelites that are absolutly fascinating when following a hurricane. For Christmas this year... I want a home weather station. Geek that I am.. I have Weatherbug on my cell phone. Sniggle.
The living room and hallway have been painted two shades of yellow and it is so pretty. The trim is white and all the switch plates and plugs are going to be white. The ceilings are painted and the a/c grills have been painted white and that looks so much better. Paint your grills white!!! The Kitchen comes next, then the garage and the gutters and we have to pay for the flooring ourselves. That will be tough. I am so anxious to get this house up for sale, but the market is so slow... it may take a while.
My car is fucked up. I am so greatfull that Geoff is willing to help us diagnose the problem and fix it. I hate it when cars break and when things on the house break.. it is NEVER cheap. Thank GOD for friends like Michele and Geoff to help us out!
That little rat dog of mine has finally and officially won me over. Top it all off, my In-laws wanted him back and I said no. They went off and bought another dog!!!! Didn't even ask me if that was the breed I wanted .. LOLOL Because I just know they will tire of that one too. God Love Em. Right now, Rumsey is rolling around in Kira's lap and making all kinds of noises. He wants her to play and she won't. She allready played with him today... lol.. that is all he gets. She has finally accepted him too.
Okay, I am done.. I will catch you up later.
