Fast and Furious Blog Post.....

This is going to have to fast, and maybe even a little furious....

Friday Fragments

Half-Past Kissin' Time
Caution! Contents MAY be H-O-T !

Yesterday I was multi-tasking as usual...working on my website, folding clothes and listening to Princess Der go on and on about all the words she's learning in Spanish and German...on her iPod!

I realized I hadn't had lunch so I whipped up a couple of cheese hot dogs for us (um...shhhh ...I know it's not the HEALTHIEST thing we could eat).

I wasn't thinking...I grabbed a bun, threw in a hot dog and took a bite.

Ahhhhhhh! A bunch of  H-O-T cheese squirted out! I had a glass of milk , so I gargled with that a few times to cool my mouth off.

With my mouth and throat still on fire, I whipped open the fridge door and grabbed the first cold thing I saw...

A bottle of Budweiser beer left over from a weekend cook-out jumped out at me. Not sure it helped my mouth, but my over-all attitude got better :-)

I feel like I have a sore throat right now....

Speaking of working on my new website

It's almost done! Actually it's an older site moved to a new location and a slightly changed name. So the new URL and the old URL will both go there.

Check it out-I'm not quite done. I'm still playing with design and my contact form isn't working. Still adding some content, too.

GOLDEN CHILD DOES IT AGAIN!






















Tonight we went to the Golden Child's award ceremony at school. Golden child and his GF won several awards! I wasn't totally surprised. The last few conferences I have gone to, the teachers just rave about Golden Child. How he participates in class. How he always helps others. His humor. His very genius.

No, seriously though, this is a major accomplishment. All of my kids are smart, start out school ahead of the game, then fall behind. They just think it's boring, same stuff every year, yadda, yadda. My oldest got his GED. He was a bit of a troubled child, and it really all started with school.

Both Golden Child & my oldest failed 6th grade. My daughter, who was the 2nd smartest kid in kindergarten and had like a 4th grade reading level in 1st grade, may fail 6th grade this year. What are the chances of that?

Anyway, about 2 yrs ago the decision was made for Golden Child to go to the area alternative school. He's a great kid- adults (esp GF's mothers) love him, other kids like him , and the girls always have liked him. He just didn't like school.





Well, he didn't love the new school at first. Now, he LOVES it! He has to go next year for two gym classes and one academic class. He ALMOST graduated this year like he should have, but he'll do it next year.

He's got the drive- he's a hard worker. His first job was on a farm. He's going down there tomorrow about a tractor or haying job because there's not much work around here. So he knows hard work, and he's determined to graduate.

Anyway, the awards:

Consistent effort in U.S. History

Outstanding effort in Living Environment

Outstanding participation in Physical Education

Outstanding effort in Health

Outstanding Class Participation in English

I'm surprised he didn't get another one. He did two independent study business classes and he devoured the subject and completed them so fast it made the teachers head spin (that's momma's boy!)

Anyway, Golden Child has come a long way, baby!

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

P.S. The GF got even more awards- she got one for maintaining an average of 85 or higher all year. I think I'm going to go get them a gift certificate for a local restaurant- they deserve it :-)
