Mom discovers the text color button...

OK MIKE...HERE'S AN UPDATE OKAAAYYY!!! GEEZ GET OFF MY BACK!!

Not a whole lot happening.

For those of you that don't know, Melissa got a tattoo. It is pretty cool. Ask her, she'll show it to you. It was so great to see her when she got it. She has gotten two things this year that she didnt think she would be able to, a tattoo and a car. It is a great feeling when I can help make things happen for my kids. I feel like the two of us are becoming much closer lately and that makes me really happy.

Nicole moved to her Dad's house. I really hate this. No wait... I mean, I REEAALLY hate this. I am sure it is what was right for her. We are cramped here and she really needs her space. I am sure that her Dad is a much different person then I knew him to be and she is stronger then I was. He probably won't be able to pull any stupid head trips on her. What I hate the most about it is that I miss her. I miss her sleeping too late and waking up in the middle of the day with her hair all sticking up and looking funky. That is a great sight, one of her best faces. I miss hearing her clank around in the kitchen at 3 in the morning. I mean reaaally. I have had a container of ice cream in the freezer that lasted almost a whole week. It's a good thing she didn't move to someplace like Oregon. I would have been crying every day. I always knew I would have to start letting go. I just didn't know it was going to be this hard.

Theresa is in cheerleading now. She makes all of us crazy with cheers practically 24/7. It makes her happy though. She looks forward to it everyday. They will be evaluating her at school tomorrow. They are going to try and determine if she has a learning disability. I guess it would be better to find that out now rather then later.

Adam got the teacher that he wanted for 2nd grade. He wanted her because she doesn't give homework on Fridays. He has found a really good friend in George. They are practically inseparable. It is nice to know he found a best friend.

I gave my notice at work. I will be full time for another two weeks. After that I will be part time for as long as it works out for me. This is kind of scary, but I am following my gut instinct on this. It might blow up in my face, but if it doesn't then I will be working out of my home for MYSELF!! How cool is that?

Wow, there is alot going on. Didn't realize it when I sat down. If anyone knows of a website to find out EXACTLY what charges Lorena Bobbit was convicted of when she chopped off her hubby's pee pee, let me know.

Later all.
