July 31 HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today is my aunts birthday so what a great way to start my blog. Happy Birthday Aunt Evelyn. Hope your day is filled with laughter and love.

I have several things on my mind this morning!

I am going to start by talking about the California earthquake. I keep seeing the Judge Judy show where she gets up and runs out of the room or under the desk, depending on who sees it. Why are people even talking about this? Should she just sit there and wait to see what is going to happen? Her children and husband are not there so in my opinion she needs to be taking care of herself. She does not owe one person in that courtroom a thing. I say save yourself Judge Judy. Those whiners need to get over it.

Now to another topic. My dear friend has met a man on the Internet. I have no problem with her meeting a man on the Internet. I met my husband that way and we have been happily married for over 11 years. one of my problems is that she has not even met him yet and he has bought her this huge engagement ring. They are planning on going house hunting this weekend, and she is already talking about quitting her job etc... all this bothers me, but not like her going to meet him at his hotel room this weekend. At first she wanted to meet him in public and now it is just her and him at his hotel. I have voiced my concerns and she has just blown me off. My DH said to just walk away because she is going to do what she wants regardless of what I say. I am just so afraid for her. I am afraid for her safety and for her heart. She has not had the best track record with men. She is shutting me out so I am just going to patiently wait for her to call me next week.
On to a more happy topic. We get to go pick up our daughter tomorrow from camp. I am so happy and I think my son is even more happy than I am that this week is almost over. I know she is having fun because we have NOT received one of the pre-stamped notes that I sent with her. I did send her an email each evening so that she had something from home each day. I just can't wait until tomorrow.

Our biggest news is that we have finally decided that after our children finish this school year we will be putting them into a private school. I have been struggling with this for a year. I know that my daughter will be very upset because she will have to make all new friends. I know in the long run she will love her new school and having her brother go with her I think will make it a little bit easier for her. I have researched and researched all the private schools and I think I found the perfect match for us. I love the curriculum , the class size, and their philosophy. I am so pleased over all with them that I really wanted them to start this year, but I promised that she could finish fifth grade, so I will keep my word. I have to say I am so excited about all of this.

That is about it for the day unless I think of something else that just needs to be said before tomorrow!
