I hate bugs!! I don't have a problem killing them if i see them...........but i did find something out the other night, the bigger they are, the freaked out i get! We were outside and a locust got in the house and really scared Aiden, who could not move, so i am there doing my eeekkkky dance...............freaking out along with him, but trying really hard to be brave!!! This thing was huge, white and black, and just downright grosss!!!!!!!!!!!! i tried to step on it, but i got the eeeekkkkkyyyyyssss just thinking about it, i finally got my foot over it standing there looking really pathetic...............and what does my foot do????? It barely taps the stupid bug! my foot made contact with the huge nasty buzzing dumb bug, and my foot freaked and I swear if it had a mind of its own my foot would have turned itself around and hid behind my butt!!!!! I could not step on it because it was so big. Some brave mommy I turned out to be.
Then last night, a huge friggin spider made home in front of our back door out back.......if someone was not paying attention they would have walked right into this huge spider web...............this spider was ugly and big..........so brave me goes for the can of starch.........and I try starching the thing, the stupid thing starts webbing up farther, so i grab the mop that was out there drying, and destroy his web...........make him homeless!!!! then i go to hit the wire it was standing on............the chicken............running from me, i will stalk a spider until the thing is dead!!!! It falls on the what i think is the ground, but NOOOOOOO, it falls closer to me, so now its coming after me!!!!!...............ok fine, I have shoes on!!!! Its staring me down on the steps, i am shaking and screaming, but BAM!!!! I hit it with my very flimsy flip flop, do my little freaked out screaming dance of fits.......................and can't find it, look at the shoe, no guts on it, DAMN!!!! the stupid spider got away from me, no doubt stalking me behind some hooped up blade of grass, waiting to get me..................EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!! Did i mention I am deathly afraid of these things???............i go running through the yard, again doing my little dance of fits.................arms flaring around...............feet jumping up and down, my whole entire body was shaking.............(please no, "oh is that what the earth was shaking for," comments) I swear I looked like a sick chicken running around with its head cut off..................I ran into the house and made my mom check me, full body search!!!!..............."CHECK ME CHECK ME" You know those spider can be very very sneaky!!!!! they will hunt you down........lay in wait for the perfect opportunity to pounce on ya and bring you down!!!
Just thought I would share with you my wonderful ability to look and act like a coward!!!! WooHooo huh?

Its Sunday
Finally got the traditional Grannies together, I also thought I would not like these squares put together, but I do. Some of the squares measured differently, but I managed to get them all together..JPG)
an overhead view of the squares. I did 8X8 so a pretty good size afghan, I am glad to have them done finally, and am going to wait on the 12" squares and put them together when I have more matching colors. I took a couple days break from crocheting, but found myself going through crochet withdrawals!! So am starting on this.....................
a Teddy Bear square for an afghan for Aiden. I am using Red Hearts, "Warm Brown" and white with dark brown for the face features. I did this square tonight and will do squares in between in a the warm brown and then a white, so the squares will be a teddy bear square, a warm brown square, white square, then a teddy bear square and so on. I will put them together as I finish each square. I will probably do 35 squares. I am going to also start back up on halloween crochet and Christmas soon.Thursday, August 23, 2007
One Exchange Afghan Done 2 more to go
My sweet Aiden with the afghan
Another shot and him still making sure to get in the shot.
I really like how this came out. Well i have one afghan done with the patterned exchange squares I have gotten from swaps. I didn't think I would like how this came out, but I used every square I have gotten, minus a couple that were too big, they measured over 8" Some of these were smaller than others, but I managed to get them together. I do like it and have decided to keep it for now. I am working on the granny squares now, my hands are really cramped up today, I am doing them in a white border as well, most of them have white borders except a few, but i have crocheted a white border around them. I think in my next traditional granny square exchanges I will ask for a black border. I have about 6 with the last rows being black. I am hoping to get colors in Purples and greens, they are really pretty together, or just different shades of purple.
I joined another swap from the friendship room, and that will start October 1st and is any shade of purple, solid colors only, I am thinking this will be with about 40 other ladies. I am looking forward to that swap.
Anyway I have been cleaning today, had to move the living room, where I had the couch, Aiden would get on the back and play with the locks on the door, and the light switch, I had visions of him falling over. Its done finally, and then I cleaned the utility room while i was making dinner, and after dinner started on the dining room, I really need to wash the floors in here.
AJ is doing really well on his homework, he has a spelling test Tuesday, so I had him study them and finish his weekly workout that is due tomorrow.
Aiden is walking around singing.........LOL my little cutey!
I will write more later, I am going to finish online, and the dining room, then hopefully will get that blanket done.

Squares Squares Squares
I am taking a break from my halloween crochet because I decided to start putting my granny squares together from all the swaps I have been in, I didn't realize I had so many piling up. This is some of them. I am putting the squares together by pattern..............all the patterned ones together, and then all the granny squares together. I am not sure how they will come out, but my hands are so cramped from putting them together. I sorted them all yesterday by pattern and traditional squares, then by color, then by size. Then laid them all out and decided how I would put them together. I had to use some colors that I didn't really want to, but I wanted to get them all used up...............then I will be set, no more squares piled up all over, and I can start collecting new ones, but this time, I think I will ask for specific colors hopefully, and that way when it comes time to put them together, I won't have to use squares that really don't match. Anyway I am using all the squares I had from exchanges, I all in all I think I had over 100 squares. The red, white and blue squares will be made another time, as I only have a few of those.
I crochet mine together using a front ridge, I like how the ridge comes out............I am using white yarn, as I could not really find a color that would look best with all of the colors from the squares.
Anyway, I am upset with AJs school, actually the bus company which is seperate from the school district, when I enrolled AJ they had the bus picking him up at a totally different spot had him walking 3 blocks. He has always been picked up at our corner since kindergarten. I have to submit a request which I did this morning, but yesterday I walked up there and stood there for over 30 minutes!!! The bus was late!! They say you are suppose to be there 15 minutes early, and for what??? the stupid bus is always late in picking him up and dropping him off. Not just around the first of the year, but all year................he was late getting to school more than half the year last year, and its funny how if we as parents get our kids to school late we get chewed out and they threaten to turn us in..............( never happened to me thankfully but i know of several parents that this happened to) but anyway, a bus can get there late that many times, and nothing is ever said or done about it, and if you complain the bus company takes offense to it. I was dripping in sweat from standing there, and my feet and ankles were swollen, not to mention my knees were burning and my back hurt so much that i had to take some pain pills, it was hurting so bad. Not to mention the shower I had to take when he got home.
The bus driver that drops him off said she will try to remember to drop him off at our corner because she has to stop there anyway, AJ is right between two kids, one in back of us a few streets away and then the girl in front, which is a little over 3 blocks away. Which according to the rules i read, an elementary student is not to walk more than 2 blocks to a stop! So there it is. I will continue to complain about this if they don't change his pick up and drop off.
Anyway I need to work on those squares.
Finished Halloween Trio
Well here is Frank Jr, Boo for you, and I want my Mummy link to pattern is here
The finished mummy, this came out so adorable and is my favorite of the three, AJ really likes it too.
A witch I just did, I decided instead of striped socks, i would just do something differently, by using two colors. I have not added her face yet, waiting to get all them done so i can add faces to all the halloween stuff at once. Here is the link to her.

Black kitties! I did 4 of these and will probably do more.Wednesday, August 15, 2007
Survived First Day
These were taken with my cell phone,
Well AJ survived his first day of school, he was glad to see his friends and his two best friends, Blake and Cory..............they are in different classes, but will see each other during lunch and recess................his class will have two teachers again this year, one who will teach math and science, the other reading and history and stuff.........not sure why they do that, they have one teacher for the morning, then the two 5th grade classes switch classrooms. I called Ellen today from the office to see if they got the bussing fixed, but they still have him scheduled to be picked up a ways from here, and I told them no, he has always been picked up at our corner since kindergarten, and I am not having my son walk over 10 minutes to the bus stop they want to pick him up from. That is stupid! Especially since they come this way anyway.
Anyway I got more grey yarn for my mummy, and finished the second mummy, now I am making the wraps for him, I am almost finished with one, and will take a picture once its completely done which will be tonight, but will post picture tomorrow probably. Its really cute, and AJ walked into the living room as i was "wrapping" the mummy, and really loved it, saying how cute it was.
So I am off to relax, just rode my bike up to Walgreens and am hot, its over 100 degrees out, plus i have a very tired little rugrat that needs to settle down.
Well, let the tears fall!!! Last night AJ and I were getting his school stuff ready and making sure we had everything, and he admitted that he is looking forward to getting back to school, I cried once I tucked him into bed...........knowing that he is one year away from Middle school!!! This morning, I got up made him and my father breakfast, my dad is taking him to school, which is a bit of a bummer, but atleast AJ won't see me cry at his school............its almost like his first day of pre-K and kindergarten...............with 5th grade, its only one more year and they are out of Elementary school! He looks so handsome today though............he is eating his breakfast and I will go sit with him................see him out the door, and then wait 7 hours to see him again.
Aiden will be really sad, he loved snuggling with AJ in the mornings watching cartoons.

Dog The Bounty Hunter
Dog the Bounty Hunter is on tonight, New shows, can't wait..............I love Leland!!!! When I was in Hawaii, why didn't I run into them? No such luck for me I guess! Oh well, it was beautiful there and I would love to visit there again.
I am doing ok, just tired, my mom decided to wash the curtains, so I have been up and down on a step ladder taking them down.........plus we have to hang new blinds up in the dining room. But decided to clean the windows really good, I usually try to get to them once a month, but I won't say how long its been since I last did them.......LOL...........I know my knees are going to be killing me here soon, from the up and down on the step stool.
Well tomorrow is the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL for AJ, I don't think he is ready, but he will have to be come tomorrow morning, He is also not going to be happy about starting his school schedule tonight, I have been having him go to bed earlier than usual for summer, the past week, which was not welcomed by AJ LOL Oh well. So we have to get his room cleaned early, get all his school stuff packed up for him to take tomorrow morning.
Aiden will be sad, he gets up in the morning and goes into AJs room right away and snuggles with AJ while they watch cartoons. It is sooo cute and precious!
I guess I should get some email answered and then go finish up the living room, Aiden is tired, but of course fighting his nap with everything hes got..........speaking of the rotten one, here he is hanging on my arm, so i will try to get him to settle down.
Take Care,

Halloween Time
This is Frank Jr, and Boo for you......I think this are soo cute and I found them on Crochetville, will try to find the links to post in here on the patterns I have found.......these people are sooo talented. I will find them then come back and post the links. Anyway these are really fast and easy to do........I made two each, because AJ really wants to have a set for his room come halloween.
This is the mummy one, done using the same pattern as for Frank Jr, but he is not done yet, I still have to do the wrapping for him, and another one for AJ, but have to get more grey yarn, i might have enough to do the body, but not sure on the arms and legs.......There is only one place that sells this grey and its about a 30-40 minute drive and I have no car right now. :(Crochet Swaps
This was for a Crochet Bag swap, and of course the bag didn't show up completely, but you can see the colors. this is the extras I decided to put in the bag.
I just got this in the mail from a swap i was in in July, I think she did a great job on this square, i really like it.
This is the fan bookmark I just made for a swap.....i have just starched it and off in the mail it will go soon. I really loved how this looked and found the pattern last night, it only took me about 30 minutes to make, Aiden, of course, tried to help!! I like it so much that I am going to make some more in different colors.
This is the Fridgie I made for a swap.......I really like this. Will add the magnet and mail it off soon.
This is called a CD bag I did for a swap I was in awhile back, I liked it so much that I did another one for myself, this is mine, I did hers in blue and white, which my mother is bugging me to make her one using the blue and white.
The COTM squares, 6" I loved these colors together and it was sooo hard to part with these, but I did somehow and they were mailed today!!AJ Turns 10
the presents............Aiden helping too!!!
AJ wanted a King Kong cake!
Is this not a very handsome boy?
Another one of my handsome boys!!!
AJ and the Star Wars sword he got from Brett
AJ really had a great time for his birthday. We had too many people at the house! LOL and the kids had a lot of fun while the adults got to talk. So the party went pretty good, and there was not too much of a mess afterwards to pick up. We did go out to eat later that night. AJ picked I-Hop, he likes that place. The service and food were not very good and AJ never got his sundae, but he had fun. He wanted to go to Target to spend his birthday money.
FINALLY
I am finally posting, I first thought of just making a new blog, but decided against it. I know this is about my thoughts, but sometimes even my own thoughts get to me. Anyway here goes another entry and hopefully more will come.
The boys are both doing good, AJ has completely healed from his broken collar bone, he does have some problems with it, its bumped up more than usual, but the dr says that will go down within a few years hopefully. He does have some pain, not so much pain, as it is just sore at times, usually when he is playing around or something like that. He has had a good but slow summer, we had a few times where i was ready to pull my hair out. He would have kids over all the time, and it just got to be too much. He is not friend with Jesse anymore and that is just fine with me, I got tired of listening to that boy whine about everything, he was possessive as well. Nothing major happened except that his parents apparently thought it was my job to supply them with entertainment for them and Jesse, they invited themselves for the Fourth of July, to eat our food that WE cook, and use OUR fireworks we kept telling them no, but they came over that night or rather jesses father did telling us to come get them when we were ready, we said no and have not seen them since............THANK GOD! I got tired it all of them whining about what they could not afford and pawning Jesse off on us everytime they wanted to go somewhere. Anyway Aiden is good, still rotten.............is taking a nap right now which is good, he was out in the heat for awhile, he went with my dad............and came home all woozy from being so tired, gave me a huge kiss and snuggled on my lap and went to sleep..........i love those moments.
Anyway I will post another entry about my crochet. Will also keep up with this Blog.

Busy Busy
I have a headache tonight........not sure why..........maybe the mold, the plumber came out and finally fixed the leaks we had in the bathroom and the kitchen................I or the plumber were not sure Thien would go ahead and ok the work seeing as it was more than the cap Thien had put on them originally, but he approved it and its done and I am happy, now we need to worry about the wiring in the attic, and the leaks in the roof, and the mold issue. We had a scare here the other morning, I got up to get AJ ready for school, and saw police sitting outside the house...................I called the sub station since the office would not tell me anything and said listen I have two kids one who has to go to school, and I have the police standing all over the place outside and the news saying to keep my doors locked.......is it safe to go outside? He told me there was a shooting the night before, and someone was killed then another shot and is in critical condition..........OMG! the guy was still on the loose, but there were so many officers around, i thought it would be ok to take him to school seeing as how his school is away from here. But after dropping him off, I felt this horrible feeling, that I should have stayed in the house.................I don't know what I would do if something were to happen to my boys! But I came home and mom and Aiden were ok, and I heard he was caught early that morning around 8:45. That was such a relief. I am keeping AJ home from school tomorrow, he is running a fever............hopefully this is nothing, and just a 24 hour bug. His went to his last soccer game Saturday........He wore his uniform too, to support them even though he could not play. He got his trophy too, a nice one, he was so happy to get that trophy. I also got his pictures, which came out much better than I thought they would seeing as how it was so cold and they were facing the sun.........I will have to scan them soon. I have decided to get rid of the trampoline we have out back, its too big and AJ cannot jump on it for awhile, and I want a smaller one with a cage around it. I also got AJs school pictures today, which came out really good, will scan those too. Saturday after AJ has his game, I took the boys to Exploration Place to see the crocodile exhibit, both boys really liked it............ I need to get offline and go work on some crochet, I told AJ we could watch Eragon......I want him to relax and rest though....................

Saturday
Wow, its been a busy day, or rather a day that made me very sore and tired. I decided to take the boys to lunch today............we had lunch with a friend and her son, and we went to CiCis the boys had fun playing in the game room and watching the cartoons. LOL I let Fernando come over to play with Aj while mom and I went shopping with Aiden. Headed to K-mart first, and we bought a harness for Aiden, he sooooo does not like this, but we needed one, especially with the River Festival coming up...............little ones can run off so fast.................in fact Aiden today was walking around and he let go of my hand and ran fast!!! Almost collided with a cart, but I got to him in time, but barely, that is what reminded me to get one.............he eventually was fine with and I will mainly use it when we are in crowds, he loves walking around, and this gives me a bit of security. We saw a Dukes of Hazard car at K-Mart, I took a picture of it..............it had a mannequin in the back, and damage to the front bumper, but other than that, it was in good condition! Everyone kept stopping and staring at it.
Then off to Wal-Mart to get some grocery shopping done, Aiden got two pairs of sandals, Spider man ones that light up, He loves those..........he was stomping his little feet all over the store, and then some really nice leather brown ones, just like his Aj wore when he was little.
Aiden was so good in the store, he kept hugging me everytime I cringed from my back hurting...............We got the car loaded and made my dad unload it!!! LOL Aiden is sleeping and Aj is playing.
We didn't go to AJs soccer game, I wanted to, but didn't want a confrontation with the ex big brother. I will go to his game next Saturday, that is their last game. I did call his coach tonight to ask if the pictures came in and he said they did, and I will just get them next Saturday. I hope that nothing is said, I don't think it will, but I have talked some more with friends, and they have all reassured me that I did nothing wrong here.
One thing about that supervisor and the old case worker, is that they made it sound like if Aj was matched again, there would be special rules................how unfair is that, I again did nothing wrong here nor did my son, yet they want to act as if they are punishing us! I know the president said I could call her anytime if i had any concerns, but why bother, she is the one who told me to remove my entries on my blog, she is the one who said nothing when the supervisor told me Aj would not be rematched, and she said nothing when my old case worker cried about how good a guy he was and how many good things he could have done in the program, and how sad it was that it could never get to do that, and how someone could have stood up for him.
I personally think...........AND THIS IS MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION!! but I think that they know they screwed up here....................they know that there were no rules written about sleep overs, they know that they did not stand up for my son, but stood up for the big here..............the old case worker did it all the time, she is the one who talked me out of ending the match, she is the one that never really thought much was wrong..............I mean at first she did, but I noticed a change in her when he started working in some special volunteer program. Another thing that upset me was when i emailed him and told him that he does not need to be calling my son every night and sometimes two to three times a night................he responds with how he wants to call him several times in a row if he has too and so on and so on, but also the new case worker calls me to tell me that he called her, came up there and complained to them about me telling him to stop calling my son everyday!!! She said she told them that I am Ajs mother and I set the rules.....and he has to abide by them, and she said she was at a loss for words about how upset he got about her saying that!!! Can you beleive the nerve of him? To actually think he would think that they could tell him it was alright to call whenever he wanted and I was to just accept that!!???? I mean come on!!! That poor girl though, i feel for her, but even then she should have questioned why he thought he had a right to do that.
I still feel strongly that they went after me unfairly and saw me as the bad guy, I mean this should have been very easy, he continued to disrespect me, by arguing every point with me, If I told him AJ could not go on a longer outing, or go on more than one outing in a week, he got upset and argued with me, If I told him that Aj could not talk to him anytime he wanted, he got upset and flat out told me that I BETTER let Aj call him whenever he wanted..................
I think BBBS just does not want to admit they made mistakes with this match, that maybe their judgement was clouded by the fact that the case worker knew him............................I admit I should have ended this match when I wanted to..............but she kept talking me out of it, why? I don't know, but I sure hope she and her supervisor feel better about themselves by making me feel really bad.............for making me feel like the bad guy in this situation.
I really wanted to see Aj get matched again, I was hoping my younger son could have been on the list when he was old enough, but I don't trust this program any longer, atleast the office here. They failed my son, they failed me, and maybe they even failed the big here by not seeing or choosing to see the signs that he was just not emotionally ready to be matched. That by him getting so involved and disrespecting me in so many ways, for not seeing him try to do everything in his power to have more time than necessary with my son...............
By going after me in this situation and by making me feel the way they did they failed miserably...............I feel for my son, but I am happy that he is standing up for me the way I stood up for him, by saying to me that if they could make his mommy cry then he didnt' want to be matched.....................I was so proud of him and myself for standing up for us!!!!! Because BBBS didn't!! and they will have to accept that fact on their own.
Then off to Wal-Mart to get some grocery shopping done, Aiden got two pairs of sandals, Spider man ones that light up, He loves those..........he was stomping his little feet all over the store, and then some really nice leather brown ones, just like his Aj wore when he was little.

By going after me in this situation and by making me feel the way they did they failed miserably...............I feel for my son, but I am happy that he is standing up for me the way I stood up for him, by saying to me that if they could make his mommy cry then he didnt' want to be matched.....................I was so proud of him and myself for standing up for us!!!!! Because BBBS didn't!! and they will have to accept that fact on their own.
My Freedom and Right to Speech!!!!
FIRST OFF I WANT TO SAY THAT EVERYTHING IN THIS JOURNAL ARE MY OWN PERSONAL OPINIONS IF SOMEONE DOES NOT LIKE THEM, THEN DON'T READ THIS BLOG!
I am very upset, in my last entry, which i had deleted, but added back in, with some changes, I changed all the first names even though that doesn't really say much. But anyway in that entry I talked about how Ajs big from BBBS became too attached to my son, well I chose to end the match Sunday, and I told the case worker that, and by my agreeing to come into the office today was my assumption that this was closure on their part, because I had made it very clear to her that I would not be changing my mind about the match. Well I walked in there and the president or some higher up, I was so upset by the meeting that I just don't remember the names besides my current case worker and the old one. I was surprised to know that she was there, but anyway she starts by asking me what brought this on, and I told her about last weekend and how that was the last straw for me and then talking with my son, opened up new concerns that even Aj was uncomfortable with. So then she spills this...................someone found my blog, researched online for my blog and it came to the attention of the National office!! and then she asks me to remove the entry, well I was really upset by this time, but kept my cool, even though I was thinking why on earth would someone decided to go after me, finding a blog that is me and my thoughts, and I have every right to say as I please, this is a free country and I have freedom of speech, that is why i put the entry back on but did take out the first names............anyway I kept my cool, and continued on, and I also made it very clear to them, that I was not blaming them, or BBBS that I think its a great program that really helps out kids..............and that I was not faulting them for any way they handled the background checks on the Big or anything, but that Ajs big brother was just not emotionally ready to handle being matched.
I also said that I do not feel that he is a pervert in any way, although others have expressed that concern, (my friends and stuff) but that I think he is an intelligent guy and I am sure a good person, but with my son he just became too emotionally involved. I talked to his sister at a basketball game one time and she said he is a great guy, but very shy and wanted kids of his own very badly. So with Aj I think he saw him as HIS son, which he mentioned a few times...............he also mentioned that he thinks he and my sons match was very different than other matches, that theirs held a special bond and was not in any way to be compared to other matches!!! When i told the case worker about this, she didn't seem too bothered by it, so I guess I just thought i was over reacting to the comment..............I don't see it that way now.
So, any way i told them this and they brought him in and told him the match was over, although they made it sound like they were the ones "dematching" them, which was not true, I ended the match last weekend. So he then left and then one of the supervisors told me that Aj would no longer be able to be part of the BBBS program!!! WHAT!!! Why is my son being punished for this??? She said I broke the rules by allowing a sleep over when she said no unless they went through the case worker, so my old case worker dances around it by saying she didn't give permission......WHICH IS SO NOT TRUE...........she called him which he told her what they were doing, and she called me and I told her myself and she said that sounded fine with her, but now she is dancing around that.................so at this point I am about to stand up and I tell them that I might as well leave now, because I did not agree to come only so they can say this was my fault, or punish myself or my son................the supervisor and I had a very tiny arguement, and I calmed down and sat down while they were waiting on the president or whoever the lady was to come back in from walking him out.
By this time, I am hurt and angry!!!! but I don't let it show, if I did I would have started crying right there, and I told them that now I have to go tell my son that he cannot go back on the waiting list and he will want to know why, and I did nothing wrong.........so they kinda backed off from that saying if a future match were to happen that rules would be set, and also asked me if i would want to meet the future Big before he met my son................I again told them i was nor was I ever saying that I think they did anything wrong with the initial back ground check or anything with checking him out, although I am started to think that maybe because his father is involved with the program and has been for some time now that maybe that played a role in this............since my old case worker brought his dad up a lot.
So the lady comes back in and more was said, and I was about ready to leave, and feeling really horrible by this time that these people could make me feel like I was the bad guy, I was fighting back tears, and I was fighting back anger! But I was polite and calm and then the kicker of the meeting..................hearing my old case worker talk about how he was just such a great guy, and he could have done so many wonderful things in the program and now he wont be able to be involved at all and how sad that was, and how she wished someone would have stood up for him!!! OMG Did I hear her right???????? She made it sound like this was my fault!!! or maybe she was feeling guilty...............guilty for allowing the match to go on for so long, lord knows I do!!!! But what on earth made her think that someone needed to stand up for him after what he put my son and I threw????? What on earth made her think it was ok for this man to argue with me every chance he got about my son................. What on earth made her think that he was ready to be a match for someone?? What on earth made her think this was my fault!!!
I walked out of there with my head held high, but cried getting into my car........how dare these people make me feel like I was the bad guy here and poor him was the victim!!! I was shocked that they could do this...........intentionally or unintentionally they made me feel horrible!! and I wanted so badly to tell them off, but I don't want to do that..................I felt bad for the new case worker.
but I decided today after that meeting, that i no longer feel comfortable having my son in the program, so I left a message with the case worker telling her so.
They had no right to make me feel this way, or to even think my son could no longer be matched with another Big.................I did nothing wrong here and neither did my son. I tried to work with this man and the case worker, but felt like she was more emotionally involved with him since he had been volunteering in the office as well, and she said she was getting to know him better. and maybe this clouded her judgement, maybe because she had told me in the past how she has known him through his father for a long time...................
I still cannot believe some of the things that were said..................I think they handled this very poorly. I still think the whole program is a good one for kids, but this office apparently has some issues, if they feel that making the parent feel like the bad guy is the right thing to do.
I stand up for my child!!! and I feel like I should have ended this match long ago, but my case worker at the time talked me out of it, and said we should have a meeting, so now I feel like she was not fighting for my son, but for the big brother. I should have listened to my gut feeling, I should have listened to my friends and family! but the shouldves will stop and we will be just fine.
They had no right to ask me to remove my last entry, do they remember that the constitution says one of our unalienable rights is Freedom of Speech? Maybe they feel guilty too................I don't know........i removed all the names, since that is one of the things she told him was that I blogged my feelings, and his name was mentioned............so what?? We all have first names and we all have last names, I am sure there are millions of guys in this city who share his first name..............does that mean I can't mention his name in my blog? Since when did our rights only become our rights when someone else gives them to us, do we need to get approval for everything we think or say?
I talked to my son tonight and he does not feel like he wants to be matched again, he knows I was upset, he saw me crying, and I did not tell him everything that was said, but I did tell him that they made me feel like the bad guy.................and that I felt so horrible and uncomfortable in that room..............I will not allow these people to make me feel that way any more.
I think they failed with my sons match...........i think their judgement was clouded by the fact that they knew this person, that they knew him through his father and then through him volunteering in the office. According to the old case worker they made it sound like they had to bring him in kicking and screaming to be matched, because he was not sure he was ready for it, maybe they should have listened more closely to him then.
AGAIN THESE ARE MY OPINIONS AND ONLY MINE..........HOWEVER YOU WANT TO TAKE IT IS UP TO YOU.................
I wish this man the best...........I hope he continues to open up to his family more...........but when a grown man tells my son that he loves him more than his own family, then I think he needs to come to grips with what it was he really wanted in this match? Did he want a little he could mentor and teach things to, or was he looking for a son? He let me son see his many moods and depression and that was not teaching him anything.

I am sorry that I have not been around much online lately, but things are finally getting better for me..........I hope anyway.
Friday the 20th, Aj had a check up with this dr, as did Aiden, well AJ is doing good, the dr feels new bone growth, so luckily it was lined up perfectly. He is still under very strict restrictions, until another 4 weeks, then after that he can do more normal activities, but still no sports or anything like that. He also gets to wear one or the other on his slings, he chose to wear the arm sling, the figure 8 collar bone sling was very uncomfortable for him. so he is happy about that.
My little Aiden is finally catching up with his age on size, he is now 24 pounds and is 32 1/2" tall............so the dr said he will probably be taller than most his age, which is like Aj. His weight is still a bit under, but is fine with his height! No shots on this 18 month check up, so Aiden was happy about that.
Friday night, Aiden kept kicking my back and it really hurt, but I went to bed shortly after that. Saturday morning we got up and it was so nice out, that we walked up to Wal-greens, because Aj wanted hair gel to spike his hair, so we walked up there which is less than a 10 minute walk, maybe that..............I went to crouch down to put my wallet back in my purse under the stroller, and my back gave out!! took me awhile to start walking, and stop crying, because the pain was so bad, took another 30 minutes to walk home! I took it easy the rest of the day as it really hurt to do anything. I was hoping by Sunday it would feel better but nothing helped, the tylenol didn't the Ibuprofen didn't and by Sunday it was still hurting. I called my dr finally and he said to go to the ER since I have a bad back anyway from a previous car accident............so I did and luckily no nerve damage, or anything, so it was out and hurting probably due to Aiden kicking it so hard Friday night! Little booger!! LOL He gave me some pain pills and off i went.
So I have been offline because it hurt too much to sit here at the computer, but today its better and I wanted to get some email out.
Anyway its been cloudy today and we might get some severe storms later tonight, So I will try to crochet a bit tonight

Virginia Tech
I have some strong opinions on this story. I was saying to myself yesterday when I saw the airing of the video, which I only saw online, I clicked and only saw less than a minute of it and clicked out of it. I think its stupid and very insensitive of NBC to have released this tape. Same to whoever posted his stories as well. I think its sick that the nation wants to read and watch this.........that people are more fascinated with the killer then the victims...........we should want to know more about the victims if anyone.............why is the media focusing soooo much of its attention on him? If you compare all the news and papers its more about him and not the victims, those who lost their lives, those who survived............this is not about that................pathetic excuse of a human being............this is about the victims who lost their lives and those fighting to survive. To give him what he wants is sick sick sick
NO I don't think the tapes should have been aired or the writings printed........I am very surprised the FBI even allowed them to be broadcast,
I think there are some people out there that could have done more.......but the only one to blame here is him.............who does not even deserve to have his name said or printed. He does not deserve the attention. He was pathetic, He was sick and not sick as in we should pity him or feel sorry for him, and I don't give a rats behind who or if anyone abused him, or the fact that he didn't have a lot of money, He should have been damn grateful he was in college, and making a living.............He should have been damn grateful that he was in the GOOD OL USA!!! He should have been grateful he had the opportunities that life had to offer. None of this was an excuse for what he did..................NONE of it. He should have sought out help, he should have wanted to get help, but apparently he was having fun being sick and depressed................I know some have the disease of being depressed and stuff, but I am sick and tired of others out there using it as an excuse...........a justification of his life that he was so depressed or sad, or boohoooo whatever to have killed people.
I think some people did have a responsibility to get him help, or try to, did the parents try to help him, or get him help? Did the police try to get him help? Did the doctors try to get him help? Did the school try? Telling him to go to the school counselor is not trying, did they make him go, did they check up on him? Did they see to it he went? Maybe by then it would have been too late, but at least someone tried, now others have lost their lives.........families are devastated, and we as a nation are plastered to TV and newspapers, not being able to get enough of this pathetic killer. Will any of us remember the victims? Will we remember their names, will we remember their faces? Will we even care...............I am sure there will be a book written about the pathetic killer, I am sure a Movie is already in the minds of these greedy writers and directors...........and guess what? People will go and watch and by the books and talk about him.................but maybe say a few words about the victims, spend a tiny amount of time, talking or remembering him, but who cares, right? If we cared, we would walk away, we would turn off the TV, when his face or name came into play, we would turn off the radio too..................but we would always stop and listen to the victims names..........we should always remember them. Both living and dead.

Parents!!!
I just remembered something, There is this little girl who is only 3 years old, and her parents let her walk and ride her bike all over the street and sidewalks, no supervision at all. It started last week, I was looking out my door, and saw this girl sitting on our flower bed pulling out flowers so i was going to tell her to stop, but Aiden was crying so i never went out, but later on she came again and tried to walk right into our house!!! She got partly in and I told her to get out, i told her you don't walk into someones home! You don't know me, and you need to go home, I also told her she was way too young to be out by herself, I saw no adults out watching or looking around!! Well she keeps coming and hanging around now and I don't feel comfortable having some 3 year old just wandering in my yard, my porch, my driveway and following me around. So then Brett dropped Aj off the other day and she just walks right up to Brett!!
Yesterday she comes by hanging around and we told her she needed to go home, and she comes back again and we tell her the same thing, and she said her mommy said she could come down here............i can't beleive what a twit of a mother this woman is, even if she did not say it was ok, to let your 3 year old daughter loose with no supervision is sick sick sick and dangerous VERY dangerous! Not to mention I am not some baby sitter for some unsupervised child. I caught her trying to take Aiden off somewhere, I had turned to look at AJ and turn back around and she has his hand walking the opposite way with him!!!!! NO WAY!! I watch my kids, my kids don't wander off!! So many perverts around and these parents think nothing of letting kids roam around. Gosh forbid if a parent has to watch their own kids!!
Sorry just had to vent about that.

Tuesday Tuesday
Well yesterday was just one of those days...........started off pretty good, Aj woke up hurting, so we kept him home from school, but let him go in after lunch to make up for a state assessment test he missed last week. He decided to stay the rest of the day, which was only 3 hours. So later I picked him up and we came home and hung around outside, Aiden was really wanting outside.
So then my sons friend, Dakota comes over with a paper and a number on it saying someone called his dad asking for me... asking if they knew me and could they give me her number. Well It was a bill collector, this majorly rude twit, who would call the house number numerous times a day to harass me, call me a bum for not paying a debt, and I kept telling her not to call me anymore and she said she could do what she wanted, so i told her that is ok, I will just have the home number changed it was not in my name anyway, so she said she had ways of getting unlisted numbers, well apparently not if she took to trying to find people who lived on my street to get a hold of me, i called her a few names, saying she had no right going to strangers asking them to give me her number..............she said she could do whatever she wanted. So I found out from the Federal Trade commision that she can't do that, and I filed a complaint against her and her company and the police tried telling me she can do whatever means necessary to collect her money, and i said so just because i owe money means I am not entitled to privacy or my family is not? that just because i owe money means i have no rights anymore? Anyway I called my local tv station too, because I think more things should be done to bill collectors, and I know that this is just not right.
Then later that night, Aiden threw my cell phone and the flip broke, actually loosened it up a bit, and now I can't see anything on it, except the outside window, but no texting, picturing, or anything like that.
Took my phone in today and was told there was nothing they could do, since I had no insurance on it, but you still have to pay 85 dollars to replace the phone and found out today they usually replace it with a refurbished phone, not a new one...........anyway I found out today I would have only had to pay 50 for my particular phone, but no insurance, so i took it around the corner to a place that fixes them, and they wanted 65 dollars, and I just don't have that right now, have gas and electric to pay Thursday, So I ended up paying 15 to have the service transferred to a verizon phone i had from when I was with Thien, the only thing is I can take pictures but not send or receive!! Sucks, but atleast I can see who is calling and my text messages. I will think about whether I want to fix the phone or buy a new one. More in likely have it fixed, I do like the phone.
So that is my day so far, I need to take Aj in to do testing, he didn't go in this morning, because his neck was swollen and really hurting him, the sling loosened up quite a bit during the night and I think he did way too much outside last night, bending over and stuff, and i told him no more.
What is up with dogs and parents who don't seem to care if their children are being bit. I have a neighbor who has a pit bull and is holding 2 others for a friend. Well some stray has been running around and that kid, Jesse? remember him? Well his mom and him are taking care of the stray dogs, hoping the owners come around. But these dogs are running loose and got into our neighbors yard Sunday night and started fighting with his dogs, and then last night, they got into Dakotas pit bulls pen and started biting and fighting with the pit bull, which didn't fight back.........go figure on that one, but dakota tried to separate them and the stray started biting him and then bit his dad, then later on that night bit him again, and his dad wont call the police or animal control.........why? because the two dogs he is holding for someone don't have their shots and I don't think his does either, so screw your kid getting hurt, he would rather his son get bit up and hurt, then getting into trouble for having dogs that are not up to date on shots or licensed. STUPID Own a dog, you should take care of it, but your kids should always come first.
That stupid dog bites me or anyone from my family and I will call...........plus dakota and his dad started hitting the dog after it started biting, and Jesses mom came rambling over out of bed at 6 at night, I think she was on something she was staggering and Jesse says she is not sick.......................she was yelling at Dakota about why the dogs were limping and how he had no right to hit the dog.......well the dog could have gotton hurt in one of the TWO yards he got into and started fighting with other dogs.
Some people, jesses mom is no winner, she is off her rocker..
We had to call Animal control today after I wrote this, because the same dog started approaching Aiden in an aggressive manner..............and I won't put up with that, they took the dogs, we have a leash law, and I am tired of owners getting dogs then thinking its ok for them to run all over the neighborhood.
So then my sons friend, Dakota comes over with a paper and a number on it saying someone called his dad asking for me... asking if they knew me and could they give me her number. Well It was a bill collector, this majorly rude twit, who would call the house number numerous times a day to harass me, call me a bum for not paying a debt, and I kept telling her not to call me anymore and she said she could do what she wanted, so i told her that is ok, I will just have the home number changed it was not in my name anyway, so she said she had ways of getting unlisted numbers, well apparently not if she took to trying to find people who lived on my street to get a hold of me, i called her a few names, saying she had no right going to strangers asking them to give me her number..............she said she could do whatever she wanted. So I found out from the Federal Trade commision that she can't do that, and I filed a complaint against her and her company and the police tried telling me she can do whatever means necessary to collect her money, and i said so just because i owe money means I am not entitled to privacy or my family is not? that just because i owe money means i have no rights anymore? Anyway I called my local tv station too, because I think more things should be done to bill collectors, and I know that this is just not right.
