EVACUATE!!!! YAY!! What fun. I'm taking the kids to South Carolina to visit family. Hopefully I will have a house when I get back.



I won't be online for a few days. My grandparents don't have a computer. Oh well.



Later everyone!

Stolen from Jason's journal.....Looks like even as a woman I am more of a man than he is. ROFLMAO!!!

What the FUCK??????

To those of us who have children in our lives,

whether they are our own, grandchildren,

nieces, nephews, or students...



Here is something to make you chuckle:



Whenever your children are out of control,

you can take comfort from the thought that

even God's omnipotence did not extend

to His own children.



After creating heaven and earth,

God created Adam and Eve.



And the first thing he said was "DON'T!"



"Don't what?" Adam replied.



"Don't eat the forbidden fruit." God said.



"Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit? Hey Eve..we have forbidden fruit!"



"No Way!"



"Yes way!"



"Do NOT eat the fruit! " said God.



"Why?"



"Because I am your Father and I said so! " God replied, wondering why He hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants.



A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break and He was ticked!



"Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit? " God asked.



"Uh huh," Adam replied.



"Then why did you? " said the Father.



"I don't know," said Eve.



"She started it! " Adam said.



"Did not! "



"Did too! "



"DID NOT! "



Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own.



Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed.



BUT THERE IS REASSURANCE IN THE STORY!



If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it,

don't be hard on yourself.



If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you?



THINGS TO THINK ABOUT!



1. You spend the first two years of their life

teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend

the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.



2. Grandchildren are God's reward

for not killing your own children.



3. Mothers of teens now know why

some animals eat their young.



4. Children seldom misquote you.

In fact, they usually repeat word for word

what you shouldn't have said.



5. The main purpose of holding children's parties

is to remind yourself that there are children

more awful than your own.



6. We childproofed our homes, but they are still getting in.



ADVICE FOR THE DAY:



Be nice to your kids.

They will choose your

nursing home one day.



AND FINALLY:



IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF TENSION

AND YOU GET A HEADACHE,

DO WHAT IT SAYS

ON THE ASPIRIN BOTTLE:



"TAKE TWO ASPIRIN"

AND "KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN"!!!!!

Love him or loathe him, he nailed this one right on the head.............



By Rush Limbaugh:



I think the vast differences in compensation between victims of the September 11 casualty and those who die serving our country in Uniform are profound. No one is really talking about it either, because you just don't criticize anything having to do with September 11. Well, I can't let the numbers pass by because it says something really disturbing about the

entitlement mentality of this country. If you lost a family member in the September 11 attack, you're going to get an average of $1,185,000. The range is a minimum guarantee of $250,000, all the way up to $4.7 million.





If you are a surviving family member of an American soldier killed in action, the first check you get is a $6,000 direct death benefit, half of which is taxable.



Next, you get $1,750 for burial costs. If you are the surviving spouse, you get $833 a month until you remarry. And there's a payment of $211 per month for each child under 18. When the child hits 18, those payments come to a screeching halt.



Keep in mind that some of the people who are getting an average of $1.185 million up to $4.7 million are complaining that it's not enough. Their deaths were tragic, but for most, they were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Soldiers put themselves in harms way FOR ALL OF US, and they and their families know the dangers.



We also learned over the weekend that some of the victims from the Oklahoma City bombing have started an organization asking for the same deal that the September 11 families are getting. In addition to that, some of the families of those bombed in the embassies are now asking for compensation as well.



You see where this is going, don't you? Folks, this is part and parcel of over 50 years of entitlement politics in this country. It's just really sad. Every time a pay raise comes up for the military, they usually receive next to nothing of a raise. Now the green machine is in combat in the Middle East while their families have to survive on food stamps and live in low-rent housing. Make sense?



However, our own U.S. Congress voted themselves a raise. Many of you don't know that they only have to be in Congress one time to receive a pension that is more than $15,000 per month. And most are now equal to being millionaires plus. They do not receive Social Security on retirement because they didn't have to pay into the system.



If some of the military people stay in for 20 years and get out as an E-7, they may receive a pension of $1,000 per month, and the very people who placed them in harm's way receives a pension of $15,000 per month.



I would like to see our electe d officials pick up a weapon and join ranks before they start cutting out benefits and lowering pay for our sons and daughters who are now fighting.

Which Ultimate Beautiful Woman are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

I like to think that I live in a safe area. There is a Time Saver (convenience store) right near my house, about 1/2 a mile away. I always go in there. Literally. I buy my smokes there, I get my sodas there.



A Korean family owns it and they are some of the greatest people in the world. The father is always so kind to me and the kids. After my last thyroid surgery, he gave me a rose and told me to feel better. He gives treats to the kids when I take them in. Always very nice. Sometimes the whole family is in there; mom, dad, and daughter. They are a terrific family.



Right before my birthday, I was driving down the road and saw flowers lining the entire building. My dad stopped there and saw police tape. On a church sign across the street, it said please pray for the Lee family from Time Saver.



I had no idea what happened.



So I googled it.



Early on August 5th, 2 men with guns went in. The daughter was there by herself. She emptied the cash register and gave them some cigarettes.



When she indicated that there was no money left, they shot her twice in the head and twice in the chest.



What the fuck is going on with this world?????



Why couldn't they have just left? They got what they came for; cigarettes and money for heroin.



There is only one consolation very small as it may be. It all got caught on tape and those mother fuckers got arrested. Maybe her parents can somehow find closure knowing that their daughter's murderers are locked up. They never should have had to.



What can you say to a parent who has lost their only child? You can't take away their grief. There is nothing you can do for them except share in their sorrow and hope that one day, the days and nights might get just a little easier to deal with.



----------------------------------------------------------



I've had a few bad dreams since then, of my children getting killed. I've had to get up in the middle of the night to make sure they were breathing. Even being awake, knowing they are safe, the dreams stay with me. They are so real, I literally feel the pain, grief, anger, and despair over the loss of them.



I honestly don't know how I would cope if anything ever happened to either of my kids. They are my life, my joy, and my happiness. And I just pray to God every day to keep them safe and with me.

My son had to get 4 shots yesterday to be ready for Kindergarten. The dude is so tough. 2 in each leg and all he did was raise his voice a little and say OW...THAT HURT!!! (More like he was annoyed than anything) I had to get him an ice cream cone after that. =)



Anyway, before he went in to get the shots, we were looking at a framed picture of an American Bald Eagle, which Alex of course calls a Bald American Eagle.



He walked up to the picture and says to me with a bit of an attitude..." Mommy.....do you see the feathers on its head?" When I replied yes, he says to me, as if I'm the child "Then it isn't bald, is it?"



I of course had to laugh my butt off. How could I not? He wasn't too happy about it, but I really really couldn't help myself.

where the hell I have been:



My kids have been with their grandparents in MS and FL. I have been all by my lonesome for the past 2 - 3 weeks. I've been going out almost every single night for the first time in almost 10 years.



Granted, I do have the chance to go out every once in a while. But that is it: every ONCE IN A WHILE. So I figured I would live it up while I had the chance.



I get one more night, this Saturday to go out. I will be celebrating my birthday with a bunch of my friends. I can't wait.



My kids are back though and it is FABULOUS being with them again! I missed them very much! It is so great to be able to tuck them in,

snuggle with them, laugh with them and just be silly because the just love me as much as I love them.

Deity and EVERYONE for wishing me a Happy Birthday.



It was freaking fabulous. For the first time in the 10 years I have been in the Navy, I was able to be with my parents.



My dad fixed my hot tub and it works now!!!! He even made me a cover for it. Then he made me his special baked ziti and cheese cake.



My mom gave me my favorite perfume that I didn't have the money to buy. It is a huge bottle. If I run out of that any time soon, there is a huge problem. LOL



Ok, I'm about to sound like one of my kids. Oh well....



THAT WAS THE BESTEST BIRTHDAY EVER!

to meeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
