In this day and age.

It really sickens me that a few closeminded people can ruin all the fun for everyone. Today was the final day of school because of Parent Teacher Conferences. For the past 2 years this would be the day that we dress our children in their costumes and prep for school day fun. Not this year. No it would not be tolerated and if a parent dressed thier child up then we faced discipline. I admit it was very sad to walk Roana to school and not see the children running into school wearing princess costumes or hero costumes. Instead we had to settle with Crazy Hat day. Not very many kids had hats on though. It saddens me for my kids. Since when did we get so politically correct we took the fun out of school? I have a feeling this means no winter party too this year. Maybe no Holiday concert where will this all end? I think noone will have a problem with those because they are typical Christain holidays. Yes that was why halloween and harvest was cancelled in school this year. It was because of religious difference. I thought we are supposed to have a seperation of religion and state in this country. I think we are slowly evolving into those country's we fought so hard to not become.

I got Roana a hat from the second hand store and hyped it up really big. So no problem there. I just wish things could be innocent again like they were when I was growing up. I cannot turn back the hands of time however. My children are growing up in a way different world then I was. Tomorrow we have Lil Ro's appointment. I am hoping we get this cast off so we can see our baby back the way he was. I will be on limited tomorrow as I have to go downtown and then we will go to the park. Here is a picture of Roana on crazy hat day.

Today was my Dream Birthday!

I woke up at 9 am and rolled over. The kids were still sleeping and my house was clean. My husband had left me a dozen flowers and a note that said thanks to your mom 28 years ago I was blessed with you. I ran the kids to school and roana was an angel. I watched tv and then we went out to a fancy dinner where both the kids behaved. We came home the kids went to sleep and then Ro and I had a nice and romantic evening. It was the perfect evening....yeah right.....This is what really happened on my birthday and for now on I will not let him forget it!

In the morning there was a school delay for 2 hours. Of course my wonderful daughter fought me about it and brought me to tears. I then took my dd to school at 930. I ran to Target to pick up some things I needed for the upcoming trip. My husband called me and told me he was coming home to spend the remaining day with me. For lunch we went to my favorite buffett but then my wonderful son cut my lunch short. I got to enjoy a whole half a meal. Yum.

We went to a video game store and I bought 2 games for $4. Well from there I went and got Roana. We were coming home and I was going to suggest pizza for dinner from my favorite joint. The unfathomable thing happened. The phone rang. It was my husbands best friend. The time was 315 the night was not even supposed to be half over. The guy need to go buy a car, and wanted my husband to translate. I never imagined Ro would agree. But to my shock and amazement he did. I was half way ok with it because i thought he would be home by 5. I imagined he would hurry because it was my day to relax you know. Hours passed and finally he called me at 915 and stated that he was coming home. We ran over to a fast food mexican store and had dinner. Yea this is the place we frequent weekly so nothing special at all. So my day was shot. I thank god for my ladies who kept me company last night when I cried and my heart broke. He said he will make it up to me but I am doubtful.....maybe that was my punishment for being to self absorbed and actually looking forward to something for a change.
Next year for sure no more birthday!

My poor buckeyes

They got creamed. I can understand now how the cub fans feel every year that they just make it. Two years in a row. Very embarassing. I even took some tylonel but forget it was pm so I did not make it to second half. Oh well there is always next year right?

We got more snow tonight. I can see myself here for life sometimes but I guess sometimes you have to move on to be better for family. We will see how the cards fall in the next months. 2008 is going to be a big year mark my words.

Roana is going to school tomorrow. I cannot wait. Just mommy and bubba time...I will keep everyone in the loop. Sorry so short. Just a little down today...hugs to all.
