I have been neglectful in posting..Shame on me. I have been working hard at work. I have also been put in a few county committees that take up some of my time. Our county recived a grant from the federal gov't to help make the mental health services in our county better for children from birth -21. ( I still have to see a newborn with mental health issues! )
I have been helping to run a Girls Circle on Monday nights. I have never met girls who are so hard to get through to, who want to cause problems and not want to be a part of things. We handed out stress balls one week. One of the girls asked " what do you do if stress balls make you stressed?" Is it making you stressed? "no, just wondering. but wha tif this green on was making me stressed?" well is it? " NO, but it could" What do you thhink you should do if it makes you stressed? "I have no idea, I am not stressed, I am never stressed there is nothing wrong with me" Ok, good to know....

I haven't been to see grandson since he was about 2 weeks olld. We have had germs here in the hosue and they do not want him to get the germs from us. It is quite all right for flu-ridden people to go and visit as long as they are not on our side of the family though. I am tired of things being ok for the other side of that family but not for mine. SHE and baby are not coming to a cookout to see my family that is visiting because I might let the Pastor and his family over to see the baby...at least that is what SHE and the other grandmother say...They do not want my pastor and his family to even see the baby. Seems like they keep forgetting that his family helped SHE not have the abortion and if the abortion had happened there'd be no baby....I have decided the best thing for me is to not call and if SHE wants to talk to me, SHE knows where I am....

The other kids are doing so great!!! School is out and they have taken over doing chores for me... itis a wonderful thing!!!

Happy anniversary honey!!! I love you more today than yesterday but not as much as tomorrow!

what a busy week...SHE and the BABY are home....and I guess they are doing ok. SHE is following the what the boyfriend's mother tells her to do and of course we all know it is gospel truth. oh, you want an example, do you? ok...like you should give the baby water for hiccups...yup at least 2 ounces.. I told her that is SHE does that five times a day, that is 10 ounces of formula the baby should have had. and now, I am told I never brought a new born home fromthe hospital, so, what would I know....Probably a lot more than they do since I did take classes in order to bring foster kids into my home when I did foster care....

I hate PORN

ok...I caught one of my kids looking at pron...actually saw them and know who it was this time, instead of just seeing it on the history......and I have to find a way to block that from happening again!!!I really do not have the time to sit in the room with each child as they share one computer...or even if they all had their own computer, I don't have the time to sit in the dining room and watch what they are doing.. you know, I need to cook, clean and yes, even pee sometimes!!!! ..I really need to block those things. When we were straight aol, we could block stuff but now, they just bypass aol and go right to the web and see what they want. I need to be able to feel like I can get some sleep if one of the kids wants to work on a school project late at night but it is getting so that I feel like they can't do that.....I need a nanny who can be there...I hate having kids who know more about coputers than I do. have to find a way to outsmart them!! I was able to change their passwords to their accounts last night...but need more than that...any suggestions?
