One Proud Mama!~


I am one proud Mama! My daughter quit school back in January. She didn't like all the drama that goes along with being in high school. She didn't like the fact that jocks made up most of her music class and kept the class disrupted to the point the teacher couldn't even teach the class. A lot of the subjects she was having to take, she had already taken in Colorado and was quite bored. She convinced me, not easily I might add, to let her quit school and get her GED so she could go on to college. I did, but it was not without a lot of soul searching. My baby girl has always marched to the beat of her own drum. She is one of those artistic creative types. I have always tried very hard to encourage that in her. Anyway, to make a long story short, she took the GED on July 7th and passed with flying colors, excelling in English and History. We got the results today. She just got a job, is about to buy her own car, which she is paying for herself, and plans to start Jr. college in the Fall. I am strutting around like a banty rooster! Way to go, CJ! I love you and I am so very proud of you. May God put angels around you to protect you from all evil and harm as you make your way in this world. You have so many talents in which to make the world a better place. Rock on!~

Prayers Needed!~

Tony and his son, Joshua. My brother-in-law, Tony, was in a bad motorcycle accident today. He has multiple injuries and is currently in ICU. Also, I may not be on much for a bit. Am having some health issues of my own. I would ask that you remember me and my family in your prayers as well. Sorry I have been so neglectful of you all lately. I hope to make it up ASAP. Lots of love!~ Susan

Tonight...

I have learned why I have pretty much become a hermit and keep to myself. I obviously don't have sense enough to socialize or be in public. I never seem to say the right things. Is there not anybody out there that understands me and won't judge me? Is there anybody I can talk around without fear of saying the wrong thing and being misunderstood? That knows me well enough to know I do not have a mean bone in my body, and that knows I am a good person, a person worth knowing. I am repeatedly told I get too involved. If I do, it's because I care. Why does that always have to be such a bad thing? We went to Wal-Mart today to pick up a few things. My son and daughter were with me. He kept getting on to me for getting in people's way. I was oblivious. They were getting angry with me. It sux to be sick and not have a brain anymore. I will be driving and have blank-outs. Notice I did not say black out, I said blank-out. Everything I know will just leave me, my mind just goes bl
