ATVing!!! At Night and in the Rain!!!

Tonight Robert and my new toy was delivered. We got our first ATV. We waited for awhile to get one ....cause we had our hearts set on a certain one. As soon as the salesman left we hopped on our new four wheeler and rode circles in the yard. It was raining ....but the rain didn't stop us. We had a freakin blast! I jumped off for a bit and let Brittany ride with Robert for awhile ...she was laughing the entire way as she was holding on tight to Robert.

I see some fun days ahead! Thats all for now ...I have to start getting ready for bed since tomorrow is a work day!

Getting back to normal......

....or at least what be believe normal to be. This past week as been very trying on the nerves. But ..at the end Brittany got up this morning from her own bed and caught the school bus at 6:40 to take her back to the school she attended before Linsly.

It will be my mission over the next several months to spread the word of what Linsly has done to my daughter and to our family. On the day this all came to a head the Linsly school in Wheeling WV had to make a choice of integrity and choose not to display the school I believed them to be. I will be working with several resources to get the word out.

The Linsly school betrayed parental trust. The trust a parent has in a school is one that is earned. Never did I believe any school could show such signs of bad character and betrayal.

I believe an apology is in order.

It has taken me several days to calm myself and my daughter. My daughter was traumatized by the hand she trusted.

Brittany is home to stay

Its been a really tough few days for Brittany. At this time I am not going into details of how crazy things got over the past four or five days ...but it got nuts. My daughter Brittany is home to stay and will be returning to her old school this week.

Emotions are high this week and we get through all this. The most important part of all this is Brittany's happiness ....which is the only thing that has been driving me in all this.


Brittany needs some quality time with her family and everything will be okay.

As I calm down ...I will be writing the whole story from a mothers point of view.

Off Work Till Monday

Well ..this will be the longest "sick day" run I have eber had. I have been having a medical problem and the doctor has put me off work till Monday. I have mixed feelings about it. I am glad to be off work ....but not in this condition.

Robert is bowling tonight ..so I thought I would podcast ..WRONG! All my resources are down for upgrades or whatever ...so it might be a few days until I can publish the podcast I recorded tonight.

Brittany is coming home again this weekend ..and I am really looking forward to that. Last weekend we enjoyed our time together ..and I am sure we will this weekend as well.

I have been listening to some really awesome podcast. "The Rest of Everest" is totally awesone! ..so check it out!

This was just a short blog to say hello! ..hello.

Its been too long...........

since I have blogged. This past week and a half have been filed pain, anzxiety and anger. I don't even want to go into it other than to say that a wwek and a halp later I am feeling better ...but thigns still are not resolved.

Other than dealing with my problems our life pretty much was uneventful. With all the time on the sofa I did get the opportunity to finish my ahfgan that I have been working on since last year. Its nice to finally have it folded at the bottom of the bed to have for a cold winters afternoon nap. I was very anxiuos to get it completed and ready to start another on after the beginning of the year.

I also dicovered that I LOVE The virtual game called Second Life. My avattar is Kimmy Goodnight ...so look me up when your in second life.
I didn't realize that there are millions of players. The game can get advanced as you like. So far no one has tried to kill me. I typically don't play video games because I have terrible hand and eye coordination. I have purchsed land and am learning to buld things. So far everything I own has been purchased ....but I hope to learn the 3d modeling sson.


I haven't podcasted in two week ....I just haven't felt like it. Maybe this week.

Brittany came home last night for a weekend at home. She won't be back until Tuesday the week of Thanksgiving. Her and I are planning a mother/ daughter Black friday shopping trip this year. Last year was the first time I went ....Dreama and I had a blast. Dreama has to work this year ...I still wanted to go ...so I am dragging my daughter with me. I think we will both have a good time.

I am having fun with Chirstmas this year. I am making all my christmas cards this year with some scrapbooking techniques I've learned ..and MOST all my gifts are personalized or handmade. Its been fun doing. I made a committment to myself that this year our gifts would be personal and not something that we just by and wrap.
However, I am not wondderwoman ...and drew the lines in a few places.

Although I am not totally up to par I am looking forward to head back to work. I will however miss my puppy dog ...he has been curled up to me snoring in my ear almost every day.

Robert and my prayers go out to our good friend Norma. We will her a sppedy recovery through this time of crisis. Our love and prayers with be with her daily until she gets through this.

Robert and I were supposed to head to Ron and Dreama's this evening. I was so looking forward to sharing an evening with them. We made the mistake of laying down for a nap ...and after waking up jsut really wanted to stay home cuddled up on the sofa with my baby ..my other baby, my laptop and the TV.

Look fora podcast this week!!
