my son periodically comes over asks me what's wrong with the person i'm typing about.  This morning he made the comment that my work was like a TV show, i just have to type to know what's going on.

I thought that was too cute not to share!!!

for having a slap fight with another child before school started.  I will never in all my life forget that.  It was awful and felt even more so because I am female.  I don't know what your daughter did to deserve this, but whatever it is as opposed to paddling she should be asked to write a report on why whatever she did is not appropriate.  It should have to be so many words and so many paragraphs, grammatically correct, and put forth in a positive manner.  I can see her having trust issues with men after this paddling situation especially older male figures in years to come. 

I hate to sound judgemental, but your post comes off like you are just way to busy to deal with your children when in fact you are responsible for them until they are 18.  I sure hope she doesn't hold this against you, but that's what I did at first.  I blamed my Mom for letting this man paddle my private area. 

yesterday i took my son to ball practice to see if he wanted to join.  the friend i talked about in this post, his mom was there.  (i knew the boy played ball, that's why my son wanted to play ball too).  so i told my son that we'd go watch and see if that's what he wants to do.  so i'm sitting there talking with the mom and i told her that i was a little scared of my son playing football because of getting hurt, etc.  that he had already had two broken bones.  she said that her husband (the dad that kicked the dog), has had several broken bones, from wrecks and she said when he was younger, he used to fight (like street fighting type stuff, not boxing).  but she said that he doesn't do that any more, we grow up as we get older.  i thought to myself, i guess he just beats up dogs now.  i'm going to check into what rescue groups are around here.  it's very obvious these dogs don't go to the vet for checkups.  even if there is no child abuse going on, the kids are going to think it's ok to hurt animals.

thanks for your opinions

...and if they don't believe me, I can't really blame them.  Several years ago, they had someone return a computer and get another one, and when they opened the boxes later, they were filled with wood and rocks, etc.   I'm still looking for my receipt, but not holding my breath.

My dad used to work at Lowes and he said they kept finding empty nail boxes behind the full boxes. Turns out, people were combining two boxes of nails and only paying for one.  I didn't realize nails were that expensive.  Who knew?

It was awful.  As far as the chickens and the sheep, that really did not bother me at all.  I grew up on a farm. They had had a party a few months ago and never cleaned up.  It smelled of urine.  I still have that awful smell with me.  GAG.  The place looked trashed. There were holes in the walls.  I know you are supposed to look beyond that and I tried and tried.  The fact that they knew since Monday that we were coming to look, I think they should have made an effort to make it look presentable.   Even the realtor agreed with me on that.   I don't feel they took us seriously. The realtor said they already came down from 130k to 125k so the potential buyer could put in new carpet or steam clean it.  I tried not to make a face but Dh said I had rolled my eyes.  My cousin, who knows the owner, said these people do this for a living.  They buy houses, live in them for a little while then sale them for profit.  I don't think they have a clue about their business.  IMO.

DH looked into the attic.  He said he could move the beams with his hand.  He did put his face on the wall in the living room, he said it was crooked.  DH said that our house is better built.  I noticed cracks between the ceiling and the baseboard in the loving room but I thought maybe just the baseboard needed to be renailed.  DH thinks that is an indication the house is sinking. 

The only thing we liked was the living room, sun room and that shop outside.  I liked the backyard but the master bedroom was too small.  The one I have now is small but it is bigger than that.  I want bigger, I don't want to downsize.  The other two bedrooms I thought were too small as well but we could live with those if we had to. 

I guess the reason they did not take us seriously and did not put out an effort was because I had already told them that 125k was too high for that neighborhood.  THe realtor lady said that they had come off but evidently that 125k was their comming off price.  I don't think I would want to pay 70k now, not even 50k.

to school to be an ultrasound technologist.  I started this path back in 1993--graduated from rad tech school in ྛ.  Then I had kids and never worked in the field.  Went back to school in 2000 to become a medical Transcriptionist and have been working as an MT ever since.

Now, I'm finally working toward finishing my ultrasound degree.  I'm really excited about it.  I sometimes worry that I'm too old, but I'm not going to let that stop me.

You can do it!

save it to a disc maybe?
