Happier Blog Today

Happier topic today - there are only 6 more weeks of school this year. That means only 6 more weeks of PTA - HOORAY!! I'm a glutton for punishment so I will be President again next year, but I have projects I want to finish before we go to high school. The staff needs an ice/water machine so they don't have to dip out of ice chests and share whatever funk someone has that day. Gotta raise another $2500 so we can buy a good one and not some piece of crap.

In other news, Skye's air gun may be fixed and we may not need to return it and spend even more $. Another hooray!

AND the IRS is so far behind on processing paperwork that they are just now assigning reviewers for Charitable Organization applications that were submitted in August 2008. That means my app submitted in March 2009 won't be reviewed until next year. Our tax $ at work!

Some People Just Suck

I recently found out one of DD's friends has been molested by a family member for the last year. Her mom is upset and wonders what signs she missed, but she always asked her daughter if anything was wrong and was available to talk. My first opinion is the man needs to be taken out of the gene pool. My second thought is why didn't the daughter say something to someone? If she couldn't say anything to her own mom, why didn't she say something to me or one of the counselors at school? There is ALWAYS someone who is willing to listen and provide help and you sometimes find them in the strangest places. Even online! Just because I am not in your backyard (or even your country in some cases), doesn't mean I won't listen and offer help/advice/hugs depending on what you need. Am I going to go email your parents/spouse? NOPE - everyone needs an ear and I know I have several for those days when I can't deal with things.

DD's friend starts counseling today and luckily isn't pg. Waiting on the lab work to make sure she didn't catch anything. He is in jail and hopefully he will be there for a VERY long time.

It's Monday

and you haven't heard anything wonderful from me in a few days. Had to go to the PTA Life Membership banquet Friday night at the country club. The cheesecake was good but the rest of the food was eehhh. The sangria and tortilla chips afterwards were much better!

Feeling bad for Missy since Ned is no longer with her.

On a positive note though, Skye and Mike broke up - hooray! No more 16 y/o, 3 hour away, virtual boyfriend! Hopefully no more bf's for a while. She's not heartbroken and is a current believer in the Kleenex Theory.

My "L" key sticks and I don't always proof my posts, so deal with it - LOL!

Hope everyone has survived yet another Monday!

Whine

I don't like my dog right now. I'm tired of being Snuffley. I worry about some of my young friends but I am too far away to do more than listen if they need an ear. I don't want to go to work tomorrow. And I am done whining for the night.

It's Monday

my throat is itchy and I don't know if it is allergies or I am getting sick and I embarrassed myself at the grocery store. You know the metal warming cases they have at the front of the store for when they have fresh baked bread? I couldn't figure out how to open it and get my bread out. Someone had to open it FOR me. That's just sad...

Will someone please match my socks?

It's Sunday

and I have the allergy snuffles. I'm also bummed because I can't leave comments on Rachajello's blog and I would really like to offer her some online hugs. I can't decide if I'm sneezing because something blew in on the nice wind and cold front we have now or if it was from dusting the walls. Yes, walls get dusty. Or maybe it's from all of the hair I brushed off my poor dog - she let me brush her for about 15 minutes with the furrminator and we got lots of fur off. She's a black German shepherd so this means I need to vacuum again since there are lots of black dust bunnies again. Off to be productive (maybe)! Have a great day everyone!
