Dear GOD, I have a problem......... Its me! lol
I do not know why, everytime i turn around I freak out about the little things in my life. I know god is in control, guess I need to start believing it! I panic about everything, he has gotten me this far through some rough situations and he will continue to carry me on foward through the rest. I think sometimes we make things that are really simple, complicated. I just really thought about this. It is not perfeect never will be. It is all simply just okay.

UGHHHH!!! Humpday hurry
This is going to be rough week. Its all nasty and rainy outside. I have gotten two letters home within a two week period from my youngest child who is in pre-k. I had to go talk to her teacher this morning and on top of it all my house taxes are due which are extremely exspensive. They make you pay them right before christmas which really hurt the pocket. I am so blessed though so I have no other complaints than that. I am just ready for this week to be over with so i can get on to the thanksgiving mood.

WOW!!
We are so lied to in this country. We believe this crap, no wonder, the rest of the world thinks that we are all stupid Americans. The FDA is poisoning us omg!!! I had no idea they were putting this crap in our food! I am really freaking out no wonder we have so many health problems. people are overweight because of this crap. they keep blaming it on our poor diets. They are creating our poor diets. Is anything healthy anymore? I look on the back of labels when i buy something and cannot understand what each ingredient is. Wow, we all need to check this crap out.

I am so looking foward to the weekend though. Halloween is Saturday and my kids are so excited. The leaves are changing to these beautiful colors, like red, orange, and yellow. It is definately the holiday season. We carved a pumpkin and set it out in the yard. It looks really cute and sweet. I aligned it with three little pumpkins at the bottom which, Friday night I am going to let my children draw on. I have so much to do and preapare for. I have a festival party to plan for my kindergarteners class on Friday.I am going to back cupcakes and make candy bags. So I have a busy week ahead!

Had a pretty decent week
Well, I can honestly say I have had a pretty decent week! I am just hoping it continues out that way! Anyways, I got all my bills paid. Paid up my house taxes which are horrifying this year! I am so excited about the holidays coming up! Can't wait for Christmas, I have began purchasing a few things here and there!I think I am finally catching on in math. Got my drawers cleaned out in my kitchen and I am finally doing my fall reorganizing.So this time of year is a big change for just like the leaves turn on the trees and the days grow shorter and colder. Everything slows down and warmth feels the air. I love the colors all around. My church celebrates a lot of different events for the kids that are free.I just have enjoyed this week being that this feels like a new beginning to a new yaer ahead and I am excited to see where I am at a year from now!

Different Strokes for Different Folk
I live in a fairly old, middle-class suburban neighborhood in south Bibb County. You know the kind of neighborhood where all the houses look alike. Every yard is super green and neatly cut, all in a line with the prettiest flowers and lovely shrubbery. We all make about the same income and have about the same beliefs in religion. All of our kids attend the same schools and dress in the same kind of clothing. We are so very diverse in so many ways, but mainly by our outlook on our children. Looks can be deceiving. Some of my neighbors, when it comes to their views on raising children, are so dysfunctional.
I am a very conservative mother I guess you could say. I am like clockwork, very routine and organized. I have a time set aside for every one of our daily events. We wake up at seven o’clock a.m. and we are in bed by nine o’clock p.m. This is my daily routine everyday. I believe children need order and structure. They feel secure and in control when they know what lies ahead and what to expect.
I am the mother of the neighborhood who is in charge of getting everybody to school. They used to fight over who sits in the front seat and now it rotates. I walk all of them, including the neighborhood kids, into their classrooms. They beg me to come in. It gives me such a great feeling to do that for them because they know I love them and it makes their day.
I pick them all up in the afternoon as well. I drop them off at home and head to my house to finish up our daily routine. We come in the house they set their shoes in the shoe caddy. Then they immediately sit down at the table with a snack and start their homework. When they are done, we eat supper and then its free time to play or watch television. At seven o’clock I round up the herd and they take a bath and get ready to go to sleep.
I have a routine for their clothes at night. They are laid neatly beside their beds, with matching shoes and socks. I like to be prepared, no looking for anything in the morning. Something out of place creates chaos and wasted time. I like the fact then when my children are getting ready in the morning, I am in a good mood and smiling. They know what to do and what to expect.
My dysfunctional neighbors really bug me. I pull up outside their homes and wait for their children to finish getting ready to go to school. It never fails that the child is busy,which makes us late, playing detective in the case of the missing shoes. It just aggravates the crap out of me; how tired these kids are when they get in my car. I ask “Why are you so tired?” with a reply of “Well, I couldn't fall asleep till late, because I was watching television.” Before my head hits my pillow my kids are asleep. I don’t care what program they are watching, their bedtime is nine o’clock.
It trips me out, how I offer to take their kids to school and they are off from work at home not doing anything. I feel like they are not involved with their children like they should be. I don’t always feel like getting up and going into that school either but I do because I want to support my children during their education. I bet all of teachers know my name and have probably never even seen their parents.
When we return home from school, every child in the neighborhood shows up. It amazes me we have been home for five minutes, there is no absolute way that they have had time to do their homework. They are probably not even acknowledged when they walk in the door. It makes me feel sorry for them. They don’t get the daily snack that I provide my kids as we sit and do homework.
I cook every night and half the time the other kids in the neighborhood are eating out. It puzzles me, that when they come to spend the night at my house, they will not eat healthy food. They don’t like vegetables at all. My kids fight over broccoli. That has got to be because of pure out laziness on their parents’ behalf. I am a full time student and on top of it I am the only single mom in my neighborhood. There is just flat out no excuse for these children having such a poor diet.
I barely ever spank my kids. These dysfunction junction idiots do it all the time, like they don’t know exactly how to communicate or something. You can hear their redneck voices screaming down the road for their child. If my child is at their house playing I call on the phone to speak to them and tell her to come home. I don’t drink in front of my kids. It never fails my children will come back and tell me what the parents at the neighbors’ house were doing. I don’t mind people drinking, I do it on occasion but at three o’clock in the afternoon, I think that’s a little inappropriate.
Bedtime is not existent to my neighbors. They think you can go to bed at four o’clock in the morning and function all day. Then they wonder why their child is failing classes at school. Their children will knock on the door to play all the way up to almost eight o’clock. We are in the bathtub getting ready to lie down to rest our minds so that we can perform well the next day. I bet their parents just stuff them full of hamburgers and sent them out the door to get them out of their hair. I feel so sorry for these children.
I am not the perfect parent. I know I have made mistakes. God knows, I try to teach my kids how to be productive in every aspect of life. I may not have a life of my own, but I know I will be rewarded by the success of my children one day. I do not mean to sound judgmental but there is really no excuse in the way these people treat their children. I guess it’s true that there are different strokes for different folks. I have to respect their life style choices but they make no absolute sense to me at all. Even though, when you ride through my neighborhood we all may appear to be the same kind of people. We are all so totally different ;one way to tell is by the way we raise our children.
