Its field trip Monday for my class and me;I will be taking another teacher with me. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that a few students won’t be able to go. Their parents haven’t signed the permission slip authorizing them to ride the van.
It’s another day my kids suffer in the school system they attend. I just hope their teachers and administration get better.
Thanks to everyone that is praying for my family and me.

Happy Easter Sunday
Happy Easter Yall! The Easter bunny has come and gone at our house. Though here its not officially Easter Sunday yet but it is some where else in the world. The kids got a coloring book, a chocolate bunny, a little bank filled with bubble gum, and a great big package of markers to share. Mom and Dad got theater size box candy left at each of their computers.
Hopefully, we will all get up early enough to finally make it to church to celebrate why we have forgiveness and understanding in heaven. So, I ask each of you to please keep my family in or on your prayer list for the next 111 days. I feel God is trying to move in our lives but we have a Jacob among our family fighting God’s plan he has for us. God knows the exact need we have and why it has to be meet in the next 111 days. It's that important, so, God can use us, restore us, and mold us.
Enough of my, humble prayer request, try to make it to church, make a baseball game, make enchiladas for our special dinner, and remember that we are loved and always have a friend.
Happy Easter! Live, Love, and Laugh Always.

Easter Eve Sunset
taken from inside the vechile. I pulled over to the side of the road to take this photo with my cell camera.
Taken from Outside the vechile on the side of the road.
Taken at a stop sign leaving the parking lot
These were taken from the parking lot view.
Made me think how many of us are rushing in life, forget to enjoy what is given to us everyday.
I hear the run off of the ran from the gutter pipes on the cement. Its some how soothing to the soul.

Rainey Saturday
Its Saturday, rainy one for the desert community, this is good and bad. Good for the sense of washing away dust and allergens but it will create new ones in the next few days. This makes we think of two songs, Raine and Fallen right.
Okay, I have another mini contest for you folks. I will be starting a new blog. If you have been reading every morsel of detail on my blog then I don’t have to repeat myself. Help me create categorizes for the new blog. Each day has a specific theme along with a thread to post your minutes of exercise or calories burned. If you enter the contest you will be part of my team. I need six team members to help.
Its date night for me and one of my kids, and its date night for my husband and one of my kids, for extra bonding time and stress relieve. I believe it helps the children feel more special and listened to when a parent takes them out individually. I remember doing this with my mom. We had a tradition that on the first snow of every winter we would celebrate. Either by baking or going out to eat on her very small budget for a single parent back in the day. Thanks mom! I hopefully will get pictures of stuff that I can post in a recap or a layout for a contest at two peas.

Day 58 Good Friday
I never have understood the meaning for good friday..I know its part of the jewish holiday for passover which has been convert into the Easter Celebration in the ressuration of Jesus. Maybe because no one has ever broken down the differences of the two regilious beliefs side by side for me to see in any format. I like to understand both sides of the issue because I like to be respectful for each person's personal believe.
Oh, don't get me wrong I do celebrate Good Friday in a regilious sense with my family every year. I just feel like it has been over commericalized by the stores, churches, and just in general. We have forgotten what truly means "to do this in rememberance of me". If this makes any sense at all to those that believe. I rarely see anyone publical figure take a moment of silence to remember this weekend. I don't see people gathering for an easter egg hunt and praying before they hunt eggs. Back in the day, prayer always came first, and remembering was a simple festival for a family to have traditions with.
Words of wisdom for today. Take time to remember even if it is a brief moment of silence to pray. To remember that we have life because of him.
Now for an update on my kiddos situation at school. I got an email from the direct teachers yesterday. They did apologize for another incident at the transition time. They feel that my youngest needs to take more responsibility for her actions or non-actions. Excuse, this is kindergarten not first or second grade or even junior high school. Have we forgotten the number one rule when dealing with children? All children will develop and mature on their own preset developmental schedule.
In general most will "mature" or develop to handle more responsibilities toward the end of the year. I deal with students, the first thing I do is look at there birthday in the year. This general helps me determine where they lie emotionally. This is what you deal with in general. If there birthday lies in the end of August through say December generally (not always applies) they will be lower on the emotional developmental scale. I don't know its just the way it always occurs. If the child's birthday is from January through the first part of August then they generally have more advanced developmentally. I do not baby my children in any ways. The first word out of my mouth is generally NO. Simply because if they learn restrain and responsibility now its better for them. I do keep in mind their health and if they have gotten enough sleep as well. So, excuse if I feel like the school's have lost sight of what is really important..that we still need to do the head count check the master list of the kids schedule's while depositing the children where they are suppose to be.
Note: I will be starting another blog for those are trying to be healthier with their life style. I will have more details to come in the future.

Day 59 Thursday Thunder Bolt Momma
Its Thursday morning thunder bolt momma; yes, that’s right Thunder Bolt Momma! If you haven’t figured out by now something horrible happened for a third and will be final time to my family.
As many of you know, I work as a preschool teacher at a local preschool. A couple times a week, I work late and the preschool bus picks up my children for me. Well, for the last few months, there has been an issue with this. The teachers at the school continually refuse to put my youngest on the preschool bus when she is suppose to then on the days I do pick them up myself, they put her on the van. When questioned they try to blame my daughter. When the preschool staff is questioned, they say it’s the teacher on duty that is the one screwing up the times for my child. Needless, to say, they have quote, “lost or misplaced” my child for the last time. I have sent written reminders, to everyone including the principal to ensure my child is on the correct bus or line for pick up. I check with the actual class room teachers and they say that my youngest child has the schedule down pat. It’s a shame that my actual boss, was told that a lie yesterday. My boss, literary called me from the school on the cell phone with the teacher standing there to make sure she was suppose to pick up my kids. Needless, to say, my child was found across campus at a different pick up spot after another teacher rudely, told my daughter and other students waiting for my preschool bus that my youngest was not suppose to be on our preschool bus. The teacher only brought my youngest to the older silbing after the teachers in the other line quickly informed her that my oldest and friends were correct in saying that my youngest was suppose to ride the preschool bus. Never once, did the children receive an apology from the school staff. Never once, did my boss receive an apology from the school staff; expect to be made to drive around to pick up my youngest had been dropped off. Needless, to say this post is very tame. I am prepared to give a cordial tongue lashing to the school this morning.
So, pray for me and wise words to type. My resignation letter has already been sent to my boss at the preschool because my husband and I fear for our children’s safety and well being at this point.
