Good Goddess Above!  My brain is fried!  I bailed on exersising again this evening and my moms immeditally got after me for that.  Your going to loose your momentem...blah blah blah.........your starting to loose that water weight...blah blah blah.  I kept my kewl and politly informed her that my school work at this time takes priority over any walking or eliptical machine.  Then my mother who hasn't been in any form of school (I don't count continuing credits to keep her RN License) for 50 some years, said it shouldn't be that hard to do your work during the day.  Mind you my mother didn't go to college college.  She went to a 4 year Catholic Nursing school and only took core courses for nursing! 

It took me literally all day minus 20 minutes in the morning to take the kids to school and three and half hours this evening (we had a school function to go to for the kids) to complete all but my final essay for this week.  I read the main chapter for this week and after looking at next weeks assignment, I don't have to read the other two chapters she went over in our notes this week till NEXT WEEK.  I took all my notes, I read everyone's postings, I posted my main posting today and responded over 4 times to other people's main posting (we only have to do 2 for the maxium to recieve a grade), I hunted down two completely different News Editorials to do my assignment.  One on the US's No Child Left Behind Law and one from Jeruslum on Ramadan.  I wrote, typed, and then posted both articles and my take of appeals and submitted them to the prof.  I read 4 different classmates essays and picked one to make suggestions on.  I posted my suggestions and printed off next week's assignments and new topic for the next paper.  I also wrote down about two dozen ideas to "improve" my final draft of the Self Discriptive Essay, the Prof likes my paper but says I am not descriptive enough.  I am going to work in the fact I am actually a very private person til I obtain a comfort level with others:D 

I finally got all this done at 10 pm tonight!  During the day and all my homework, I managed to get two loads of laundry done, discuss and be interviewed for my girl Teri for one of her papers and gave her some presidential historic information on Jimmy Carter for another paper and consented in talking to my brother for 45 minutes.  In the afternoon, the kids and I did our Dollar General run (that is my new wally world:P), killd some time at the Buffalo pasture reading the Historical marker and took a few pictures of the buffalo, then we went up to the school for Family Science night!  The kids really enjoyed themselves and now we have to show Randy how to implode soda cans, pull plant DNA, and explode two 2 liters of soda using menthos and life savers!  The program was run by one of the NE Medical Center Genetisist out of Lincoln and I think a Highschool Biology teacher out of Omaha!  I was a big kid and managed to snag a lil vile of strawberry dna that the kids (all school kids present) helped to pull tonight!  I gave it to a lil girl who didn't get any though.  Oh and we have to show Randy how to ease a no shell hard boiled egg into a beaker flask with out breaking it and then show him how to get it out! 

I don't think I could handle two or three classes this semester for my first semester back.  Not with everything I do around this house for everyone including people who don't live in my house!  I am doing good if I do say so myself.  And tomorrow my "date" with my girl Bree is actually going off with out a hitch!  My moms is taking the kids to school for me so I can meet Bree in the morning.  We will do her small errands and then Casino HERE WE COME!  Randy set me a 100 buck limit and Arjan set Bree a 50 buck limit not counting lunch or any stops we make.  Those killjoys know that Bree and I can sit at the casino all day if allowed!  As long as we are out of the casino by 2 pm to pick up our respected kids all is good!  I won't even complain about having to drive to the city tomorrow night for TKD and then kill two hours before my Leadership class AFTER our actual TKD class!

There are approximately 46 million abortions worldwide each year, which is about a billion, say, in just the last twenty-five years.

By comparison, each year about 50 million people die. 

About 78% of all abortions are obtained in developing countries, and 22% occur in developed countries.

Of the 46 million abortions each year, about 26 million are legal; an additional 20 million are obtained in countries where abortion is restricted or prohibited by law.

Worldwide, the lifetime average is about one abortion per woman.

Like WOW!  The weekend is LIKE SO OVER!  I have like no time to do anything for myself!  It like soooooooo sucks! 

*coughs*

Okay so yay the weekend did go by extermly fast.  The small lil get together friday night at the parental units house for Coltin's actual birthday went okay.  Coltin was having a melt down from being over stimulated, hyped up on sugar all day long, and very very tired.  When I get around to posting pictures you will see how crabby the birthday boy was opening his gifts that night.

Saturday we cleaned up the house, made plans to meet again at the parental units to have supper with my anal retentive pruddy sister and her similar behaved family before heading up to the city for ice skating for said birthday party.  It was okay until Randy torked me the fark off!  If I was a tv show at that time I would have been Jackie Gleason from the Honeymooners saying:  "TOooooooooooooooo the MOON ALICE" to Randy that evening before we left.  One of the formans from another job site called Randy up and asked him to get to the shop ASAP so one of his guys could get a part needed for Sunday morning.  Of course the owners of the farking buisness were no where to be found so that meant Randy had to actually do it.  Would have been fine if he would have consulted me as to when he would meet Brent the Man Ho to pick the part up.  As it was we ended up picking up two of the kids that were riding with us a half hour to 45 minutes early to get to the shop by 6 pm.  Which ment we were EXTERMLY early to the rink.

We had about 9-10 kids show up.  I did very well on my knee.  Not one fallage on the ice for me or Randy.  He wisely stayed away from me for fear of a body check into the wall.  I was feeling festy especially since the skate rental was all hokey skates:D  (Ice Rink is the home of the City Juniour Hokey League)  My kids fell on their asses a few times.  Coltin finally picked it up enough to catch the wall but DeLaney yay...........the poor girl takes after her daddy on the no cortination with ice skating.  Poor thing couldn't stop introducing her body to the ice!  My neice picked skating up like a pro and my nephew after a meeting of ice and his head did really well.  He went home with a goose egg but had the time of his life.  Now my girl Teri's oldest boy who is a Freshman, he didn't fare so well.  First it was his first time on ice.  Second the idiot (must be a man thing to try and show off right away!) was trying to skate backwards on ice that was basicly ready to be smoothed out.  Thrid he also had a meeting of the ice and his head.  The ice won 9 stitches to none!  Yes the boy cracked his eyebrow wide open!  He is okay.  But his mom is yet again convienced ice skating is an evil evil sport!  The one and only time she went she blew her knee.  The rest of the kids fell a few times and then picked it up pretty well.  My sister actually did pretty good on her first go around on ice also.  She kept sitting down though because for those of you that have never used hockey skates, they HURT if you A don't have thick enough socks on and B don't use them enough to build up a tolerance to them.  They are non flexable and hard!

Sunday came.  A day of rest my cute chubby ass!  Got up.  Got the kids off to church.  Fixed biscuts and gravy for breakfast.  Kids came home and I got torked with Grandma.  She didn't inform me that it was Coffee and Roll day after Mass.  So I had a butt load of biscuts and gravy and nobody to eat it!  From there we did a bit of house picking up, took Dooley (the great dane puppy of mine) into my girl Tab's to live.  Tab and I made an agreement.  Her old man Joe is home more than Randy (Joe is stay home daddy) and has more time for Dooley then even I do as a stay home mamma.  And in exchange for a Great Dane Pup, when Tab breeds her second Female Rottie, to my Rottie's brother (the one I had to find a new home too), I get second pick of the litter.  Tab's cousin Ed, who is the human pet to Anubus the Male Rottie gets first pick.    Works out great because we can see Dooley anytime we want to and he is my big scaried cat baby so he still does what I want of him for the most part.  Joe has realized he isn't going to hurt him! 

After taking Dooley into Tab's, Randy and I did manage to watch Death Proof.  We kicked the kids out of the living room and closed the pocket door to the hallway.  So even if they did attempt to wonder in they got kicked out as soon as they hit the dinning room!  After Death Proof, we went outside, loaded a full bed of wood into the truck and unloaded it for the parental units.  Then we helped my moms clean out my brother's gun cabnint to move it fromt he basement to the upstairs.  Next we came home and watched Panet Terror.  I perfer Death Proof over Planet Terror.  I think I get off on those chicks beating the crap out of Kurt Russel!   Made me horny:D:P  And while we were watching that move the kids were destroying the upstairs and got yelled at when I wondere dup there before I cooked supper! 

Today Tab jumped in with us on the way to school, so she could get to the dentist at the hospital.  (Yes Tribal Dental prog is in the IHS hospital).  They couldn't get her filling fixed while we were there so we came back to my house, drank a pot of coffee, put the baby down for a nap and made 6 pillows or what Tab calls 6 Peyote Pillows.  They are for folks that go to Peyote meetings.  They like to sit on the ground but it gets hard so we made the pillows with vinyal aka fake leather backing for easy clean up.  Tab also filled out our application to get the pillows into the Art Gallery.  This week I have to buy 2 bulk boxes of filling so we can stuff them and some more vinyal backing and another skeen of fabric.  We are also going to get a hold of some plyboard and have my dad show me how to use his old ass table saw so we can start making baby boards. 

Tomorrow instead of finishing up laundry and vaccuming, I am driving my dad on his work runs for his business.  He is barely walking and gets the results of his MRI on what is going on with his spine Wensday.  Don't ask me for the dignoises all I know the condition is that it pinches the nerves of his legs and feet.  And my daddy isn't getting around to much.  So I take the kids to school, drive back home, grab a few things, and then go down to my parent's place to pick up dad.  I get to drive his truck!  Heheheheheheh!  It isn't as big as Randy's truck but at least my daddy drive's a chevy!  I likes me some Chevy Trucks!:D

Good NEWS!  It is NOT cancer with my mom.  YAY!  She is still in remission!  She is looking at another surgery though.  The lump on her shoulder is fatty tissue though and her oncologist wants to get it out of there just in case it could go to cancer.  But it is NOT cancer!

Again I have a butt load to update on and even to get sme pictures loaded up but it isn't going to happen.  Your lucky I did this long boring post!  It is way past my bedtime!
