OK, so I had to get this off my chest. The BITCH is driving me fucking insane!! I can't tell you how much it annoys the hell out of me to buy something for her to rip through like a hungry wildebeest. If she would go out and buy what she has polished off that wouldn't piss me off as bad.
One might ask what does a hungry wildebeest eat, well lets see....her diet consists of flour tortillas with numerous slices of Velveeta and butter, plain pasta and butter(sometimes Velveeta slices gets added to this), peanut butter and honey, Craisins with croûtons and Ranch, and Popcorn. So healthy right?!?!?!
I just witnessed her POURING a BOWL of CRAISINS as her fucking breakfast! That's right a fucking bowl FULL!!! This was also her breakfast yesterday! Which OK is sort of healthy but 1/3c is the serving size and that is 130 calories. In 2 days she has used HALF my bag of craisins that I use on my salad!
Normally a big bag of Craisins from Costco will last me about 4 months, a jar of peanut butter will last about 6months(and at Costco you get 2 in a package so that is about a years worth) At her rate of grazing I will be out in about a month or less. FML
AAARRRRGGGHHHHH!
I can't even finish this fucking entry because I am so pissed off!
The ELDER(ly) is eating me out of house and home!

The Reemergence of Franny
Well not so long ago Franny was a big part of my life, then she went nuts and decided to pull away as a friend. Which really meant we never talked IRL or on the phone. Back before all of that there was a incident on Facebook with one of her "friends". Basically he decided to be a dick and start bad mouthing me so when I retaliated (which happened to be on her page) she got pissed. So being the bigger person, I deleted all my rude comments. All the while all she had to do was DELETE the thread, since as she said it was "Her Page" Anyway that is the back story which brings us to the latest.
Franny posted a link about Obama calling Michael Vic's people and congratulating them, and said she didn't want to comment but for everyone else to feel free to. Well within a matter of hours her Brother In Law was in a fight with a low life foul mouthed friend of hers. This friend was calling her BIL names and cursing at him. This went on for about 70comments. I just happened to read through and at the end wrote, "Wow last time I got in a fight like this with one of "Franny's" friends, it ended much like this one." Her BIL "liked" my comment. So my comment must have set her off because she deleted the thread and then the next day she deleted me.
I took a few days to think it over and sent her a message asking what I did to deserve that, after all my comment was innocuous. No response. So I decided a week ago I would go ahead and be the bigger person, because come on folks we aren't in High School anymore, and should be able to resolve this like adults. Right? Well the answer if WRONG, I sent her an email saying that I was sorry for saying or doing something that hurt her feelings, and what do I get, another Delete. That's right she BLOCKED me from her Twitter account. I mean really? How old are you Franny? 38? My 13 yr old son acts more mature than you do!
So anyway, I just had to vent about how childish she is being. But I do think that it is so hilarious that I get under her skin so bad that she has had to ignore,delete and block me in all ways of communication. I bet if I called her I would get ignored. LMAO, Oh well her loss. I have a lot more friends now that she is gone, and my life is better in so many ways. I hope that one day she will find the peace that she needs in her life.

Toys For PAWS
As many of you may know I help organize our prison program, which is called PAWS of HOPE (yolasite.pawsofhope.com) I would like to raise enough money to go and by these 10 dogs each a Kong Frisbee, Kong Ball, and a NylaBone for Christmas! If you have a love for animals and would love to give back this is definitely the way to do it. Our program is about second chances! All of our dogs were on Death Row and came from various backgrounds of abuse and neglect. Like our pups, the inmates that they are housed with are working their way to a second chance. This program teaches them to love and care for another living being. In order to stay in the program they also have to keep a clean record, so this cuts down on bad behavior.
Please help spread the word about our program of that we can give our pups their Christmas Wish!

PAWS of HOPE
Paws of Hope is a program that started in June of 2009 at the Sanders Estes Unit Correctional Center as a form of rehabilitation for offenders as well as a way to save the dogs and make them more adoptable. Management and Training Corporation (MTC) contracts the Facility through the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. MTC's main goal is to help rehabilitate Offenders for re-entry into society, so this is the perfect program for our Facility where all the Offenders will be going home soon.
The dogs in the program are from a no kill animal shelter, Shelter 2 Rescue Coalition, and trained by the offenders and are well cared for. These dogs are able to be adopted by contacting us or the rescue. All dogs can be adopted for a small fee of $200.00 after the necessary application has been filled out and approved. The dogs come with all their shots and are spayed/neutered, potty trained and kennel trained plus do a lot of interesting tricks.
There are 40 Offenders that help train the dogs and we have a professional dog trainer, Wendy Palmer out of Burleson, that comes to the facility to teach the Offenders all of the basics and more. This is such a great program and we are happy to be able to utilize it. The Offenders take a lot of pride in the program and it gives them a chance to love something and feel like they can get away from it all for an instant when they are around the dogs. The dogs stay in the cell with their designated trainer, are around people 24/7 and have several "potty breaks" a day, plus an hour of outside time.
We are now in our fourth session and now have a total of ten dogs. The new session began on August 16, 2010 and the dogs will graduate around the middle of November.

Condonation
So today I had to go to the DVM to renew my drivers license and have my restriction removed. (Lasik is a wonderful thing!) I stood around for a bit taking and posting pics of the "interesting" inhabitants before I found myself talking to a very nice Pharmacist for a bit. Then after he left I sat and started listening to my Pastor's podcast. The series was about why people leave an come back to the church, with a sub heading of I've done some really bad things, will I be accepted?
Most people think just because they have strayed from church and the "Right" thing to do, that they can't come back. Often it is because of how they are treated by those members of the church or community. So my Pastor brought up a very good point. The question was asked, "If you are invited to a baby shower for a unwed teenage mom, are you condoning this behavior?" The answer was simple...If you are living a Christ like life, by loving and showing compassion to others, it does NOT mean that you are condoning their actions.
We are often judged by the actions of those in our circle, but if the person making these assumptions were to really look at you as a person, they would see the true christian in you. Jesus was often in the company of "undesirables" of his time, and was judged for this. It wasn't that he condoned what they did, it was that he wanted to show them love and understanding in hopes that they would see the way back from their transgressions!
Just because you have been off course at one point or several in your life doesn't mean that you can't change your course for the rest of your life. I don't know why this spoke to me today, but it did so I thought I would share.

Mother of an 8th grader
So this morning got on to a great start. The boy actually woke up on his own with his alarm! We headed off to school only to be stopped by the 10million other parents who wanted to drop little Jane and Johnny off to school on their first day. (Note: I drive him in as a choice every morning, not just 1st day) So 2miles and 30minutes later....We arrive at school!
Maybe I'm weird, but we have been doing this for 9yrs now, so there are no tears, no walking in to his first class or any of the other Elementary School stuff. I find it odd that there are still moms who do this stuff past Elementary School. There has to come a time that you let your kid/s go; let them be their own person. I don't believe in making your kids dependent upon you for their whole lives. In order for a child to learn, you have to let them explore and make their own mistakes.
Why do some mothers find it so hard to let go? Is it their own insecurities that causes them to hang on for dear life? Did their mother's not give them enough attention, so they over do it with their own? Or is it that they simply have lost their own identity when they became mothers?
Don't get me wrong, I love my son with all my heart! I had a very loving mother as a child. It wasn't until I was a teenager, that things went sour. I, of course, was a typical teen and did and said stuff that was way out of line. My mom was dealing with a sick husband and a teenager that thought she knew it all and then some. But I know without a shadow of a doubt that she loved me and only wanted the best for me. I also know that if she ever said anything negative to me it was out of the stress of losing her husband to a disease that was incurable. There are many things I wish I could go back and do differently so that she wouldn't have had such a tough time raising me, but then I would not be the wife, mother, and friend I am today.
I never talked to my mom about her relationship with her mother. I do know that her mom died when they were very young, of cancer, so she was raised by her dad and step-mother. I can remember that as a middle sister, she never felt she measured up to her other siblings. She often yelled and cursed at us kids, but she gave all she had to make sure that we were taken care of. I try to be a little better by not yelling at my son, or cursing at him. I tell him all the time that I love him and how proud I am of him. It is hard enough being a teen and I don't want him to ever think for one minute that he isn't loved. I feel as parents, that is the one thing that we should strive to do, be better parents. No one strives to be worse than their parents were. (Or at least I would hope they don't)
So for all you mommies out there, Please put little Jane and Johnny on the bus and let go already. It doesn't make you cool to be strolling the halls of the middle school looking like a Cougar.
