I think the world has gone a little crazy. I quite watching the news, because there is nothing but bad news on it and I seem to be happier without knowing. The schools want the kids to watch the news as part of their classes, but I would rather them not see all of that. I am going to have to talk to their teachers about it. I really don’t think they will mind finding a different project for my kids, but that remains to be seen. I can only try.
Synthesizer
My daughter wants me to shop yamaha mm6 for her birthday. I just got done looking around online and OMG they are expensive. She has been taking piano lessons from my mom since she was just a little thing, and now wants a synthesizer instead of the old piano we have in the living room. I suppose I could sell the piano to help pay for it, but we have had it so long, it’s almost like a member of the family. I know that sounds weird, but it is true.
College books
Well we found a place to order my nieces college books online. She will be able to visit one of their many stores when she gets to school, if she needs anything else. I am sure that she will, the professors always add something or another, but with any luck she is covered. I am so proud that my niece is going off to college. It makes me feel a little bit old though. Seems like yesterday, she was a little thing playing in my closet and trying on my shoes with her little feet. I think I am going to tear up now.
Helping your community
Ever since I was a teenager I have had a passion for helping others. When I was in Junior High, we had to do community service and it taught me something more about life. Life can be very difficult for people and giving them a little bit of help and hope for the future is very important. There is a community outreach program that I really like. It is the sing for hope program that uses art and artist to help raise money and also to help children through artistic self expression. For kids, this is very important if you live in an inner city area without much hope of leaving it.
I have been to areas like this and a lot of times the kids just need a little attention to explore what it already there, so they can tap their own inner resources and help themselves. Many times these kids have single parents who work multiple jobs and are unable to give them that attention. Many singers and artists volunteer their time and resources to help these kids find and reach undiscovered talent.
These same artists also volunteer their time to perform in healthcare facilities for the patients, visitors and staff, bringing joy and hope to them as well. Projects like this are wonderful for communities and bring people together. Anyone can join and help out. Those who have a talent for teaching are most welcome as well. If you can play an instrument and are willing, you can make a difference in a child’s life. Our children are our future. Helping them is very important. Passing along knowledge for future generations is imperative. I am going to donate both time and resources to this worthy program and have my kids help as well. There is no reason for them not to learn the life lesson I had when I was a kid.
HCG is the way to go
For all of you women and men out there trying to lose weight without success, I have the perfect thing for you to try. HCG drops are without a doubt one of the best that I have ever taken. They really help you lose the weight. HCG drops are Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, also known as the pregnancy hormone. When this hormone kicks in during pregnancy, it allows for the stored fat to be used up to support both mother and baby. I remember when I was pregnant last, I lost a lot of weight at first. Now I know why I lost it. I hope this helps others who struggle like I did losing weight.
How to remove ice from your car
Here is a really good way to remove the ice from your car easily. Mix 2/3 vinegar with 1/3 water; just spray on windows and ice will melt! I have used this method for a long time now and it works like a dream every time. Trust me and give this a try.
The Ladies are Telling Me About Hcg
I joined a group of ladies that are all taking hcg. It is a weight loss group that helps each other with whatever comes up with the program. Some of the stuff you have to do can be difficult. You get used to not eating a lot and then when you move to the next phase, you have to load. Loading is when you eat a lot for a couple of days and then hit the diet again. Loading is probably the most difficult part. They tell me that basically I will have to stuff my face for about two days and eat every thing, before I can move on. Wish me luck!
Not sure how to handle this
Apparently the girls next door are being really nasty to my kids. I have forbidden them to come over and told my kids to just stay away from them. Unfortunately, I can’t discuss this with their parents because there really nasty people too. Any overtures will be escalated into a fight that could end up involving the police. I feel sorry for those girls because they come from a really messed up family, but I am tired of the drama. To top that off, ever since they changed the kids bus driver there has been nothing but problems.
I guess I am going to have to talk to the bus driver myself, although she has to know that I have been trying to get her moved off of this bus. I am pretty sure it will be a pointless conversation. I will try this afternoon though. After that, I will go make a formal complaint at the school board. If they do not do something, then I will call the media and get them involved. I have had enough of this. I don’t see what the difficulty is, in making sure these girls stay away from my kids on the bus.
Missed the bus
I didn’t sleep very well last night and consequently, the kids missed the bus this morning. I got one of them up, and went back to sleep. Big mistake. I usually doze after the first ones get up, because one has to shower in the morning. He prefers it that way. The youngest doesn’t have to be up for another forty five minutes so I have a little time to kill. With very little sleep last night, I didn’t get back up in time and had to take the kids to school. That was fun….not.
First when I went outside, I slid in the mud and knee planted in the middle of a stepping stone. That hurt and still does. I am hoping that it doesn’t swell up. Then because it is raining, I had to drive in the rain which I hate. I got one to school on time the others, were slightly late. I don’t understand why the schools have to be so far apart. It’s really irritating. Tomorrow, I will make sure I am not too late getting them up for school. I hate it when they miss the bus. Note to self; go to bed earlier tonight and get some sleep.
Golden Gate Bridge
This is a great picture of the Golden Gate Bridge. I went to San Francisco once when I was a kid. I really enjoyed the trip and seeing all of the sights. I think that perhaps I should take my kids there sometime. I know that they will like it. If we go that far, we could go to Washington State or Oregon and see the whales as well. I know that they would love that.
