Summer is almost over...

-
Well summer is here and almost gone. We have a couple of more weeks of break and then its back to the schedule of school for the kids and work for me. WOO HOO!!
James starts his new job today at the College of Charleston downtown. He will be Operations Manager for the Data Center. GO HONEY!!
Then he will be also working his part-time security job on Mon, Tues, and Fridays. This will make for a very long day for him.
I started my online graduate course on Characteristics of Emotional Disorders and Behavioral Disorders. It is really interesting on how we have class. We have email we use from the University of Phoenix and we write in our responses to what the instructor wants us to write about. Then we respond to each others papers.
We also have two projects we will be working on in groups.
We also have alot of reading. Thankfully the book is online. I was going to go find it and get it from Barnes and Nobles and it was going to cost 87.00. CHOKE!!
Thankfully also...this class is sponsored by a state program called Project CREATE. So i did not have to pay for the class. That is an extra blessing.
I do well in this course then the other two courses i need will be sponsored as well.
I am also getting ready for the beginning of school again and trying to get things together for that.

James and I went to see the movie Miami Vice the other day. The movie dragged and when it did have any action it was either sexual or there was major blood and guts. It was not at all what i was expecting. I like the old Miami Vice better with Don Johnson (and his hair).
It seems the movies that are coming out are more violent and twisted than any before them. I keep seeing commercials for the one called PULSE and it looks really creepy.
I think i am better off just staying at home and renting what i know is good! lol
Well guess this is it for now.

What to do at 3 in the morning?

-
Well here I sit at the computer and its nearly 3:30 in the morning now. I started getting sick yesterday at school. I was sneezing like crazy most of the day. When I got home I started taking meds. I took everything from Claritin (thinking it might be my allergies) to Theraflu and so far no real relief. Then about 11:45pm I took something that had an antihestomine (not sure what it was since it was out of the box) I figure good something that would dry me up. Well it actually did dry me up however I have been a wake most of the night. UGHHH!! I was suppose to work today but when i woke up at 11:45 pm and good not hardly talk or do much else i called in to the lady that assigns the subs and told her i could not work. Yesterday, Justin was sick with a low fever and coughing. I am hoping to be able to send him to school today. He has missed 8 days of school so far this year and can not miss anymore than 10 before they decide to retain him. I would rather he not have to stay in 3rd grade a

My Scar

-
                                                                 My Scar     “OUCH”, I said to David. He and I were goofing off during band practice one day. He twisted my right wrist.   I didn’t think much of it at the time. It hurt a little but I soon forgot all about it. Then   about a week later I started having pains in my right wrist.   I was having a hard time being able to bend it. I noticed a large bump formed under the skin on the top of my wrist. I didn’t tell my parents. I figured they wouldn’t believe me and would think it was just growing pains.   It wasn’t until I was in my first semester of college that I noticed that the bump on my wrist was getting bigger. Since Mom used to work with a hand surgeon, she still had connections. So I went to see the Dr. and we set a date for the surgery. It would be on January 13, 1978. This date actually fell on a Friday of all days. I went into the hospital the night before, so I would be ready to go into surgery the ne
