It's been a while

Well I've noticed it's been a while since I last wrote. That is mainly because I've been playing with myspace and trying to learn it. It's sad, but I've had to have Taylor teach me the ropes. I've always been proud of being computer savvy but alas, I've found something that kicks my butt. I have found Johnny Depp's site and I'm waiting on him to accept me as a friend. He wrote that he will be busy for the next few weeks but he has finished shooting Pirates 3. They are putting it together and it should be finished soon. He has 3 other movies coming out in 2008. So, I figure my request will be buried as there will be thousands by the time he checks his page. But if he looks, he will see how much I am in love with him! LOL I know, I'm a freak.

But this friend thing is really hard. Evidently, you have to have a certain amount of friends to be cool. I can't find any grown ups to play with me. Finally I got my good friend Mary to sign up this weekend and we've had fun trying to figure all this stuff out. I started this page in July and up until recently, Sara (yes my cousin Sara) has been my only friend. Now I have 9 friends and one more coming when a friend at work gets her puter fixed. I had one of my high school classmates find me and I found another friend from my entire child hood on an email forward. That was pretty weird. My page is silly and it's my for fun place and non-parent/responsible adult avenue. I've got pictues of Johnny Depp and Jon Bon Jovi on there. Yes, things that make me drool. So, now I have to figure out how to balance both. I guess if this is all I have to worry about, life is going well.

This weekend we are holed-up in the house due to the weather. I think we are all a little stir crazy...and I did have some shopping planned. Now I will have to wait yet another week to get that done. Taylor is here this weekend and she is supposed to be at her mom's. That was an ordeal. Her mom called us at 7:00 a.m. yesterday while we were all getting ready for work and school. She wanted to come and get her right then before the storm hit. Well Chance told her Taylor really needed to go to school...her grades aren't that stellar once again. So she got mad and accused us of spending our time plotting at how to get at her. When he tried to explain that she got 2 F's on her report card she called him a liar and said that he was trying to get at her. So then she said she wasn't coming to get her at all this weekend and even told Taylor that she was sick of her anyway. How awful is that????? What a piece of work. I can't imagine speaking to my child like that. I sat at work watching the weather get worse and I just thought that all the reponsible hard-working people in the state risked the weather to get to work and their kids to and from school. I know it was hard to tell what the weather would do by 2:30 in the afternoon, but man, it was drivable by that time. I didn't get home until after 1. Many people had to wait until 5 to go home. I dunno. I can understand her fear of driving in that stuff... I am just as bad. But to say the things she said to both of them was really uncalled for.

I heard today that what is coming in at midnite tonight is supposed to be worse than the past two days put together. That was early this morning...I hope the prediction has changed. No, maybe not. If it stays bad, maybe they will give us Monday off. We have one week down and two more to go. I really dislike this time of year at work. It makes me cranky. We have been lucky - we had basically two weeks in a row - Thanksgiving and the snow storm week - where we worked 3 days. I actually worked 2 as I was sick on one day before the snow. Then we got an extra day over Christmas break for President Ford's funeral. I shouldn't be complaining.

I have been sick this week. I actually got bold and called in on Wednesday. We are only supposed to call in this time of year if we are dead and then that has to be approved. It's been a weird sick without the head cold stuff and now that has hit me full force. Not feeling so hot today. Chance has been feeding me medicine. Nyquil has been my best friend.

Tristan's report card showed that he is improving. I still can't get him to memorize his birthdate or phone number. I think I'm going to have him write it down. He learned how to spell his last name that way. His teacher tells me he's been trying harder to do better.

Well I can't think of anything more to say. Hope everyone is having a good new year so far. Oh, I am taking a class this semester! It is the first class I've taken since I graduated 6 years ago. It will be fun tho. I hope I don't make a habit of it! LOL

Later dudes.
