After choir practice yesterday, I have deiceded J the volunteer who is working this year's school choir will NOT be the one who teaches my kids and I how to play guitar.  We will go with the orginal plan of action.  I teach the basics and once TKD is done (to 1st dan) we will stop at that academy and go to the small lil mixed marital arts academy in town and find a guitar teacher.  The man drives  me crazy!  He has had no formal musical schooling and treats the kids like adults and the one teacher and me as if we were children and don't know how to read music let alone read the words on the sheet music.  My gods the teacher who is helping is playing an older Gibson guitar and knows how to play it!  Plus she can read music and i think since she is the 7th/8th grade teacher she can read the words!  I have told the man time and time again and he has gone to my HS music concerts before that I can not only read music but gasp I graduated from highschool at the top of my class! 

Anyway, I made chicken cordon blue and veggies for the kids and hubby last night before pool.  Then I scarfed a philly cheese steak and fries down at the Pub!:D  I did rather well for myself last night.  I won 1 out of 3 games last night.  I was hitting nothign but slop shots in my second game and then the old lady i was playing against got on a good run.  My Gods if I was happy to win one of hte games!  This old lady is in her early to mid 70s and she has been playing since her early 20s!  Their team consistered of the old lady, two of her daughters, one of her granddaughters, and another girl who played pretty well.  We lost our over all match by two games.  But we all still had fun!  As Justin the bartender stated:  "Ya'll should have ordered the mushrooms for a snack!  Then I could have slipped in some wwwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooohhhhhhhhhh mushrooms on you and you would have shot better games!"  Such a smart ass! 

Today the kids went to school an hour and half late!  My Mommy reitred officially yesterday.  Actually it is Friday but she won a 24 hour off award via the gov't so she tookt hat as a day off and then jsut requested 2 days of her 7 weeks of vk they have to pay her to take the rest of the week off.  The hospital provided a staff pot luck.  A lot of ppl were in tears over my moms retiring.  She has put 20 some years in at the IHS Hospital and that doesn't include working 15 some years at another hospital!  She has worked on ppl her age parents and grandparents, her age ppl, helped birth a lot of my friends and their children and she will be very much missed up at that hospital!  The doctors even got a few digs on her and as they call her "opinions".  They knew she was going to get them if they did wrong!:D  Some of the other NA Indian ppl from other tribes had no clue until the Tribal Council Chairman stated that my mom's was born on the rezes and raised on the rezes and they were really suprised.  When my mom got up to thank everyone for the gifts they got her and the hospital got her, she suprised even some of the tribal family and staff from our rez when she said that her family has been in the area as long as if not longer then the Bago tribe has been in this area.  She gave dates and then stated the rez will always be home and then pointed to me and my kids and said our family feels welcomed here and has become members of various other families and you'll see me around!:D 

It was great.  Now it is time for the parental units to live it up for a while!:D  Maybe Bingo or Casinos for them:P:D  Heheheheheheheh.  Anyway I got my rough draft of my paper complete.  I jsut need to type it and get it submitted.  And hopefully my next post I'll have some wonderful news.

I am off to procrstantat more and try not to be so moody!:D
