Remember Schoolhouse Rock? I just got the 2-set DVD from sm

our local library.  My kids are loving it! They are 3 and 5 and 11. All boys.  The 3 year old loves it the most. 

I can't believe how much I'm learning! I just learned a few things on the song "I'm just a Bill, sitting on Capital Hill!" HAHA

I love Fraggle Rock.  We got a couple DVDs for my friend and I got some for myself and made the kids watch it.  :-)

You are not respected in your marriage. Tell him to go by himself, save his own money and take your kids somewhere YOU want to go while he is gone. Please don't say that other than this he is a wonderful father, good provider, yada,yada...he has no respect for you or your opinion, which cancels out any good attributes, IMHO of course....

Okay, back towards the end of last school year some mothers decided to have a coo at the elementary school and take over the PTO for this coming year from the ones that had been running it.  Shortly after that, the now ex-pres moved in next to us.  The neighbor across the street is now on the "new" PTO.  Somehow, they didn't elect a president for the coming year though and they came knocking on my door "oh you'll be great, we'll do all the work, we just need you to run the meetings, etc".  Well, I let the principal know that I would and now am regretting it.  I have a full-time job plus type part-time at night (switching to just weekends when school starts).  My husband is gone during the week so that leaves me to take care of kids, homework, games and practices, etc.  I get calls and emails all day long regarding PTO.  I thought about just sticking it out for the school year (I do have the flexibility to be off or leave early, come in late from my full time job) because I really want to be more involved in the school since my child is going into the second grade.  Well, the final straw was a few nights ago when a bunch of us parents were sitting in our driveways watching the kids playing.  It wasn't until after the ex-pres comes outside (she hasn't talked to any of us since all that happened), that the neighbor across the street starts talking PTO stuff at a level that the ex-pres can hear (I never replied to her about anything).  My husband went ballistic!  We came in the house and he said that was uncalled for, we need to move, and that he's very upset about me taking on the role of president.  SO, what do I do now?  How do I gracefully back out but not get shunned from being up at the school and helping out with some activities?

The other story with that neighbor across the street that has bugged me this week - everything my child gets (we are not frivilous by any means), she makes sure her kids get the same things, even down to the exact same pair and color or tennis shoes for school, clothes, bicycles and now, the yard ornaments that we have had in our yard, i see she has bought some and are now in her yard also.  I cringe now when I see her but I hate to keep my child from playing in the front yard just because her kids are out there (same age).  Any ideas on this too???

What a crappy week!!!

I am not surprised they were able to accomplish the rescue.  Have you seen those shows where they detail what exactly the training they go through entails and you watch people actually going through the training?  It is brutal.  Those guys who make it to the end are the cream of the crop.  Once again our military comes through!  I am so happy about the good outcome! 

I couldn't stand looking at Roxy...*lol* - too much gum show......and I do watch the food channel a lot!!!  I used to like Rachael Ray before she got REAL famous and glammed herself out.  I so liked her when she lived in upstate NY doing the 30-minute meal show or $40 a Day show.  Now I refuse to watch her - her voice is very annoying to me today.

GO_AMY!!! 

I would like to ask everyone, as you remember the 9/11 attacks today, to also remember the bombing of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. The 9/11 attacks were far greater in scale and in death toll, and I mourn for those who died and for their families. I also mourn for the 168 people who died in the Oklahoma City bombing. Fewer in number, perhaps, but the lives just as precious. It was so hard for me to watch as rescue workers went through the rubble of the day care and pulled out those tiny bodies...

When we send our soldiers into combat, we train them and give them the best equipment available to defend themselves and destroy the enemy. The people who died on September 11, 2001 and April 19, 1995 were innocent civilians who had their lives ripped away in an instant, by people who had no respect for the sanctity of life and who were too cowardly to take their fight to the battlefield where it belongs.

Never again. We must be vigilant. These events occurred on our own soil. Each of has a duty to keep our eyes and ears open, and to cooperate with the increased security precautions our government has implemented. We are all soldiers in this war.
