My daughter has just brought to my attention that she wants to be a cheerleader at her school next year and try outs are in a week. I was a cheerleader in high school myself and it actually helped me academically and sociably, so I told her that I’ll be cheering her on, because I think it would be a great experience for her and give her a chance to meet new girls and maybe make some new friends. I cant wait to see her cheering at games next year, I know she’ll be great, she so flexible and very talented in dance, so cheer leading should be a piece of cake for her.
Credit Card deals to be found
Hubby and I are going to sit and review our present credit card situation. I want to see if we can downsize, I just paid off one credit card this month and will no longer use it, that is a good feeling.
There is a great variety of attractive and very profitable deals to be made by taking the time to research on a web-site, so I know what we will be doing in the next couple of days or so. It is not something that I look forward to doing all that much, paperwork just drives me up the wall and Hubby is not known for his patience, but if in the end we end up saving and or earning money it will be well worth the effort, wouldn’t you agree?
Inspiring nephew
I have a nephew who is in his second year of college at one of the top elite universities here on the east coast, so he is not too far away but is still not as close as we would like him to be. He is a great kid and is bond to make a name for himself and will definitely make a difference in this world in numerous ways in his life time. Can you tell that I am a proud aunt!
His mom really misses him and only gets to see him maybe 2 or 3 times a year, his Dad lives way up north and he is constantly trying to appease both parents when it comes to holiday visits and vacations. Of course my sister seems to be constantly getting the short end of the stick, but that is the same struggle that she was dealing with even before he left for college. It really sucks when a kid is bounced back and forth and is stuck trying to please both sets of parents.
When he does get a chance to visit, he spends most of his time sleeping, eating and doing homework, which leaves not enough time, as far as she is concerned, for them to just hang out and talk and to do things together, alas she cherishes every moment that she can get out of him when she can.
Good Luck! – Part 2
LUCKY SEVEN. Seven is the sum of three and four, the triangle and the square, which ancient Greeks considered the two “perfect figures.” The lunar cycle, which is 28 days, is divided into four seven-day quarters: New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Third Quarter. It may also come from the game of craps, where rolling a seven wins the roll.
LUCKY HUNCHES. Believe it or not, this is from the days when rubbing a hunchback’s hump was considered good luck. The ancient Egyptians worshipped a hunchbacked god named Bes, and the ancient Romans hired hunchbacks as servants because they thought it brought the household good luck.
AMAZING LUCK
“IN March 1997, the Sunday Oklahoman profiled Oklahoma City homemaker Mary Clamser, 44, whose deterioration with multiple sclerosis had been abruptly halted in 1994 when lightning struck her house while she was grasping metal objects with each hand and wearing her metal leg brace.
“Suddenly, she began walking easily, and though doctors told her the condition was probably only temporary, she still walks easily today. As if that weren’t enough good luck, Clamser, in order to fly to California for a TV interview in April 1995, was forced to cancel a local appointment she had made at the Oklahoma City federal building for 9 a.m. on April 19.”

My Son is missing school more and more
My Son has been having stomach issues for the past year now, and has been missing way too many days of school. I honestly think that they will hold him back a year, but the doctor has told me he thinks it’s depression and it’s something that a pill wouldn’t solve. Months later, there is no sign of him getting better, so I came to a conclusion that my son is not depressed, he is the happiest little boy ever. He just wakes up in the morning and has painful tummy aches that we can’t seem to figure out the reasoning for. I don’t know what to do, and hopefully the doctor we go to next week can help us out on this error of judgement from the other doctor.
Teenagers
My teenage daughter is quite the handful, but shes growing up and maturing faster then I expected her to. She is holding two jobs, still in school trying to get a good education, and has a steady boyfriend she has been with for years. Over all I think she is going to make it through life as happy as anyone would want to be. I just hope it stays this way, because I know how teenagers are, they always seem to change drastically on you when you least expect it.
Myspace madness
I had recently watched on the news that a teenage girl was brutally attacked and badly beaten all starting with Myspace. Myspace if you haven’t heard, is a website on the Internet allowing everyone and to make a profile about themselves and chat with friends, family, and everyone else in the world. Well I think Myspace from the looks of it, is a bad ideal to have simply because of all the beating and rapes that happen all starting with Myspace. Something must be done here before anything else can happen. My oldest daughter got her MySpace up and running about a year ago and now the youngest one wants one, don’t know if that will happen!
Mommy is going to cook dinner tonight
Today my sister had sent me a few receipts over the Internet that her and her family seemed to enjoy, and I find them to be very different then what we usually eat in my household. My son and I are going to go shopping for the ingredients we need to make something new and tasty that the entire family will love to eat for dinner, plus I think I need to do more cooking, I’ve been slacking in that area lately. By the way I do love my husband’s attempt in “Southern cooking”, but I do think it’s time for mommy to step in and take charge of the kitchen once again, and have a part in sitting down with the family and smiling and enjoying our delicious new food experiences.
Full bellies before it’s time to go to bed of course, I always say, or you wont have a good night’s sleep. My son had told me that he wants to help mommy cook dinner tonight, which by the way I think is an absolute great and fantastic idea. I can’t wait to try out our new food creations, and hopefully we won’t burn the kitchen down in the process!
Brother-in-law sends good news about his new job
Just received an interesting email from my brother-in-law with the subject line saying “heating and cooling PA”, it’s a darn good thing that I noticed it was from him, otherwise I would have deleted it thinking that it was spam. His email had told me that he had just landed a job with a wonderful company that he sent me the link to, for me to check out. The link is www.lowryelectric.com and after reviewing the site I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is around the Delaware and Pennsylvania area who is trying to find spectacular service with their Electric, heating and cooling needs.
He should do well with this job because he has been working in this field for years and its right up his alley. I hope that he will stay with this company for a good long while so that he can take advantage of the benefits that they offer because his wife is expecting their first baby in November this year and needs to have a job where there is not only great benefits but also wonderful people to work with to make his day go by quicker and feel more satisfied then his previous job.
Crazy Weathermen
We are trying to make plans for the week-end but the weathermen won’t make up their minds.
At first they were saying that it will rain on Sunday, then it changed to Sunday evening/Monday morning, now they are saying Sunday again, ugh, it makes it hard to plan things this way.
My youngest wants to invite her girlfriends over for a sleep over and I would like to take them to the park and possibly go creek walking with them. We love finding a creek and then walking in and around it while following where it takes us, we have been doing it for years now and the girls really enjoy it. We find all kinds of interesting things along the way and the girls get to see first hand how awful people are about littering, the creek is almost always full of all kinds of trash, which makes us very sad indeed. It ends up a learning experience for all of us in some way or another it seems.
