Wow it's been forever long since I've written anything at all in here.  I have been just writing in the old paper journal, but honestly I miss the interaction with the diaries that you get online. 

School is in once again, and it's going okay.  I'm not really enjoying working this year, but who does?  I'm basically pretty lazy and I think that's my problem with work, but at least the girls are doing good in schoool.  They love it and really enjoy the whole socialization thing every single day.

Hubby is gone all weekend working, so that's weird.  I really miss him being here and feel like I haven't had a conversation with anyone all weekend long.  But me and mom went to a "house beautiful show" and that stunk.  I thought it would be different, but it's designed for people who 1-have a house (I don't) 2-people who are building or remodeling (I'm not) and the bad thing is we paid 6 bucks to get in there and spent all of 20 minutes inside.  It was just a bunch of companies advertising their stuff and I told mom we are here paying for commericals.  Okay that's all for now, next entry I'm going to try to get a picture of my puppy and put on here and tell that whole story.  It's a good one.

Woo hoo it's been way too long.  That's all right though.  I mean, my computer broke, then I fixed it a week or two later.  Then I've been busy packing and moving and taking the kiddos to VBS.  They had a great time there, and I'm glad they got to go.  I really love summer (well not the hot part).  It's always go go go but at least I'm not bored.  And my mom and sister and brother-in-law are all school teacher's so they're all out of school, so that means kids spending the night, going over there to go swimming, stuff like that.  It's really a good time for them with all of the family and cousins that they have.  So sorry for the one or two people who actually read this, but I've barely been home much less online..

Ohhh it's been almost a month since I've last written.  Bad me huh?  Oh well, whatcha gonna do?  I've been busy, my computer broke and all of that, so oh well.  My computer is always breaking and I'm gonna have to break down and get a new one, but I really want to move before I do all of that.  So maybe eventually I'll get a different one.  Maybe.. huh...

I woke up with the brilliant inspiration of refinishing my daughters (both of them) chest of drawers this morning.  So I got up and head off to Wal-Mart and Lowes, and good grief, I feel like such a little girl in Lowes.  Ugh excuse me, where in this warehouse of a store might I find carpet glue that my husband sent me to find, only I don't want regualr carpet glue, I want the kind that dries within five minutes of putting it on and must be indoor outdoor and by the way do you have that in any smaller size then 10 lb buckets?  What a riot!  But I did get one chest of drawers ready to be painted after much sanding and hand numbing. I actually used the electric power sander and that was fun.  I kept expecting it to get away from me, but it was pretty easy to handle.  Soon, I'll be power tool literate, since tomorrow I'm gonna get the lesson on using an airless sprayer.  All right!  But I'm exausted, for real.  I think my legs may fall off.  Or my arms or hands or I may just come undone. 

But the reason behind all of this is because we are moving moving moving!  Yah!  I'm counting down the days/hours/minutes and oh yeah, seconds.  Ha!

I happened to catch a bit of a news program last night and there were three people on there who were talking what religion had to do with the War on Iraq.  The first guy said something to the tune of we are Gods unto ourselves or some bullshit like that.  Like we are the God's of ourselves.  Whatever.  Puleeze, like we don't already make ourselves the center of everything enough.  He's going to deem each of us our own personal God.  And then another guy was asked a question about Bible prophesy, and he basically said that some parts of the Bible were true, and some were not.  Yeah....  righhhhhttttt...  I'm just on a rampage today, and while I caught like 2 minutes of the show, inadvertantly since my kids have taken the T.V. hostage until their dad returns.

And this got me thinking about prayer in school.  While I am a christian, I don't think that prayer in school is the best thing.  It would be great for me, but if I were of another religion, or no religion at all, then I wouldn't think that way.  Also, for it to be effective, everyone involved would have to have the same ideas on religion, and that's impossible.  Plus, I think that if the government were to force religion on us, then we would be no better than Islam countries who make people go pray three times a day or whatever.  And besides, it is the parents job to guide the children in whatever religion, not the schools.  If they feel strongly about it, then they need to take the initiative to pray with their child, and it would make a larger impression on the child than praying in a crowded classroom.  But hey, you don't have to agree with me, but you don't have to condemn me for my beliefs either.

Well it being April Fool's day and all, I thought that I would call my husband and tell him I was pregnant and play a real practical joke on him.  But then after much thought I thought about how wrong that would be.  First of all, I have the advantage as I know what the date is, and I don't even think he knows what day of the week it is, he's so busy when he's gone.  And secondly, although he doesn't push, I have this deep suspicion that he would be thrilled to have another child, and to get his hopes up, and then to drop them would be I think horrible.   So I didn't and just called and told him happy April Fools day and all of that I love you miss you, blah blah blah...   But I don't like the concept of April Fool's.  No, that's not quite right.  It's just that something happened this weekend that made me realize how sensitive I am to ridicule.  Not critisism or constructive critisism anyways, but plain ridicule.  You know the type, those practical jokes to make someone look incredibly gullible and stupid.  For example, my little niece showed me something she learned at school, and I knew she was up to something but she was so gleefully excited about it that I went along with it.  But when it was over, I knew that she was gleefully excited about demeaning someone and I think that's a bit awful.  And I know that I shouldn't be too hard on the kid because all kids do it.  Maybe I am so sensitive to it because of my two older sisters who were so much older than me were able to play tricks and tease me so much, and while I had a little sister I couldn't do the same to her because she is deaf, and so much of that gets lost in the translation.  So maybe that's why, but I don't like it when people are mean to others in that type of way.  I mean, maybe I am a sensitive person, but it's who I am.  What can a person do about who they are?
