Its time for another parenting rant- with my daughter re-entering school really school and her own school not being able to follow directions it really alarms me when I keep hearing stories pop up on the news with how seriously insane schools have gotten with their rules. Here's one of the newest articles to pop up today infact: http://now.msn.com/school-says-deaf-boys-name-sign-looks-too-much-like-a-gun Really? Its his name and he's three..it is in no way a gang sign. There was a story a few weeks ago about a young boy again in elementary that was told he had to turn his shirt inside out because it was a certain football team..again, I say really? Oh, and I can't forget about the two little girls I read about last month that got severly sun burned while at a school outting and they weren't allowed to apply sunscreen and the one little girl did have a medical skin condition that was on her file that no one bothered to look at...

 These type of stories scare me about putting our little one back into the school world. Yes, she has to go back because we don't have the patience to do homeschool and she needs some speech therapy but seriously, between the news and some personal issues I've heard from my parent friends its pretty scary at the rate that schools want to butt in and conduct business nowadays. What ever happened to being concerned for the child's well being and not having all these rules and regulations that at times really do work against the children and in some cases against the special education children too. Why do we need so many hoops to jump through? Whatever happened to the good old days when you could pack your child a lunch in their Star Wars lunchbox and not worry about someone eyeing up the lunch, taking it away and replacing it with something that your child won't eat in the first place. Whatever happened to schools actually listening to the parents? I again have heard horror stories of parents who have had huge issues with schools not listening and not paying attention to the children in their class. If you are a teacher you should know your students..correct?

  I don't ever remember stories like this showing up when I was in school. Kids causing problems sure..but I never remember someone coming around to 'check' on my lunch and I also remember being sent home a few times when I felt fine but because I was a little warm once I got sent to the nurses office they called my Mom. Whatever happened to actually caring about the well being of the children and at least listening to the parents. Infact, the school that we're dealing with now has already said that we are very involved with our child and what happens which I guess not everyone does which again, thats sad. If the parent is trying to be involved in whats happening with the school..yes, you should listen. Then again, I think in general we as a whole feel like we can put rules out everywhere and push off responsiblities elsewhere which isn't right. Whatever happened to the good old days when schools weren't so stuck on rules and regulations and actually cared. Is it insane to think that our schools should care and read the files of our children? How about we get back to teaching and not ruling with an iron fist and while we're at it how about we go back to listening and taking things the parents say into consideration..

Anyways, thats my rant for today..

Okay, so here it comes- the kids movie rant. All three of these movies we have watched pretty recently as a family while we are waiting for the little one to get fully enrolled and tested into school we've been making it a habit to do a family movie at night or even in the afternoons on the weekends. We love kids movies in general- when the hubby and I were newly married we saw "Kody Banks 2" in the theater with no kid present but everyone else had kids there..yeah, that was uncomfortable a little bit but hey, we wanted to see the movie.

Anyways, as of the past couple of years there's been a trend going on with kids movies- basically inputting the 'Green' message into the movie in one way or another..sometimes they just sneak it in there hoping no one will notice. Now, I've got nothing wrong with saving the planet or anything but when a kids movie suddenly starts painting a picture of that humans are 'monsters' to animals that kinda makes me a bit annoyed. I put on a kids movie not an Al Gore documentary- I'm looking for fun, good animation, a happy ending in the story, and some adult humor snuck in there that the kids won't notice. I'm not looking for a political message standing behind the story nor do I want my little six year old being handed the political messages and 'Green' state of mind..Yes, to clarify..do recycle, do re-use but seriously..My six year old knows what recycling is, she knows which bin to put the cardboard in, we sometimes even use old toliet paper rings for craft projects..We are teaching her at home how to be responsible without pushing it onto her when the media pushing this type of stuff onto kids I see as well just that..pushing it. Not to mention, nowadays most schools teach the kids too how to recycle. When I was in school we were always taught to reduce, re-use and recycle..

I think in general we should leave any type of pushing outta kids movies. No one ever complains about this type of stuff in kids movies but I am because I think its gone too far. I loved "Happy Feet" until it got to again the part where it began to paint the humans as monsters..Do you really want your kid to think that they are a monster and horrible because they are a human? I know I don't..If you wanna sneak it in there..go ahead just don't make it a major plotline of your movie because then it becomes like you are preaching to the choir which no one really likes in general. Kids movies should be teaching how to be kind, considerate, and manners..yes, manners..most of the youth today that I ran into can't even say 'thank you'..that annoys me. I mean..while you are at it start teaching your adults how to put down their cell phones and interact with people..thats something a lot of young adults need to learn how to do. I think kids learn enough about how to be kind to Earth in school and at home..so keep it outta the movies..don't go ruining a good storyline that doesn't need that type of input there. In fact, just this afternoon the little one and I watched an old school "Land before time" on Netflix streaming..and yes, the whole enviroment issues was in there but it wasn't completely in your face the entire time..It was nice hence why we've been trying to stick to the 80s movies and sometimes even 90s movies lately..they just don't disappoint and don't put things straight in your face..

Hollywood..please, take note..Not only are you recycling old movies at an alarming rate but you are also failing on kids movies here and there because you want to shove things down our kids throats..Stop it! Get better ideas! If I want my kiddie to learn about the enviroment I'll put on a documentary with lots of happy fishes and animals roaming around while teaching..When I rent a movie or even go to the movies I am there for entertainment..not for preaching..That is all!

Now, seeing as how I did a fun little list for "Buffy" I figured since I just finished up watching "Angel" this week the show does deserve a 'things I've learned from Angel' blog. So, here it is..

1. The most 'good' of heart are likely to be hi-jacked: Look at what happens to Cordie and Fred..Both times it is explained that they have been taken over because they are 'good' of heart and 'pure'. You'd think that being good of heart and pure would be a good thing but apperently that makes it just that much more likely that you will be taken over by a demon.

2. Sometimes what you think is the best decision can be seen as the wrong one by others- Wes is the one that pretty much lives with this one the most but so does Angel. Sure, people may eventually understand somewhere down the line but yes, people will be salty over your 'good' decision because they don't understand it.

3. You think raising a normal teen is hard try raising one that spent time in a hell dimension- Yes, I hate the Connor season slightly mostly because he's an ungrateful teenager but yeah, aren't all teens like that anyways? I think I draw the line at where he starts trying to shoot people and really goes off the deep end right before the season finale.then, Angel gives him up and he turns out to be a well adjusted young man when he's not raised in a hell dimension...go figure.

4. A simple song is all you need- Lauren became a great addition to the cast and he can read you with you simply singing a song. Got a question that you want answered..sing a song and maybe your question will be found. He has the best power..ever!

5. Becoming a puppet can be fun- I love "Smile time"..I must say its the best episode if I do say so myself out of the entire series. Not only does Angel become cute as a puppet but he also ends up getting other things you get when you become a puppet like over exageratted emotions!

6. A good friendship will always be by your side- When Spike joins the cast in the last season..Yes, Angel and Spike have their differences and even annoy each other at times but they do still fight by each others side and are friends through and through no matter what..even if they do annoy each other at times.

7. Just because it looks pretty doesn't mean you should touch it- Seriously, a lot of times in the series people just touch things..maybe because its shiny or looks cool and then they end up with a curse or even dead..seriously, I don't care how 'cool' it looks..it doesn't mean you should touch it.

8. Don't believe everything that everyone tells you- this is covered A LOT in the series. Everything from when the demon shows up claiming to be God to Eve working with them at the law firm. Just because someone tells you that they aren't evil..seriously, it doesn't mean that they aren't evil..use your head.

9. Be careful what you wish for- in season one Angel gets turned immortal and after living out his entire day he quickly realizes that even though he'd love to be human he can't help out Buffy not being a vampire and makes a deal for everything be reveresed..it clearly wasn't all it was cracked up to.

10. Some things just aren't suppose to happen- When Cordy and Angel figure out they have feelings for each other things just well, go to hell..literally. Sure, it could have happened..they had plans on telling each other how they felt but it just never happened..it just wasn't suppose to happen at the end of the day.

11. If a deal seems to good to true it probably is- Lets go into when Angel takes the job at the law firm..Yes, it turns out bad with a bunch of people playing him and his friends..just because it seems like a good deal doesn't mean it is in reality a good deal..at all.

12. Just because something is impossible doesn't mean it won't happen- Lets look at Connor..He was suppose to never be born to begin with..He is a mystery and was 'never suppose to happen' but hey, he did..it may seem impossible but in reality impossible can be possible.

13. We all have things to come to terms with its a matter of coming to terms with them- Doyle is the one that addresses this in season one but it is a reoccuring theme and something we all have to deal with in reality- sure, you did some bad things and made some mistakes but you've still gotta come to terms with them and come to terms with life in general after you've done what you have done.

14. Don't judge a book by its cover- this happens numerous times..Once with Lauren and again with Gunn and Angel. Sure, you may 'look' a certain way but that doesn't mean you are a certain way in reality. People will surprise you if you don't judge the cook by the cover and allow them to show you their true color.

and last but not least..

15. A group of friends will always eventually end up coming back together as one- The whole Angel group ends up in a fight here and there but eventually end up having each others back through it all. Sure, there's periods wher this person or that person isn't talking to one another but in the end it all works out and everyone is always keeping an eye out for each other.

Well- there you have..the next series I have started is "Charmed" so I may do a what I've learned from that..I have also watched "How I met your mother" but since that series is still on the air and I'm still waiting on watching the last season that aired..clearly that won't happen but yes, coming soon a "Charmed" blog.

 Okay, so this has been a hot button topic among parents and non-parents so instead of going off on every single post I'm gonna post my two cents here..Why is it that this: http://bossip.com/345725/smh-florida-mother-makes-son-stand-on-the-corner-holding-up-a-sign-saying-he-has-bad-grades/ is seen as okay but when a teacher does it..like this: http://news.yahoo.com/teacher-fired-making-students-wear-doggie-cone-shame-165800954.html gets people up in arms not to mention the bullying thats constantly in the media...

Seriously, the whole parents making their kids wear signs showcasing what they've done wrong makes me sick and you are no better then the bully at the school. I don't care if you are a parent, if you gave birth to kid or whatever you may say you can punish your child without putting it out there for the world to see. Whatever happened to the good old days when punishments weren't made public and people kept their dirty laundry to themselves vs posting it all over the place and allowing kids to stand outside with signs saying 'I lied' or 'I steal' or 'I failed Math'..really? You wanna stop the bullying in schools start at the root of the problem..at home! If Mom and Dad are forcing kids to stand outside with signs and basically being bullies themselves..of course the cycle will continue in the school. Have we all just lost our minds? This type of stuff would never happen in the 80s..Again, I ask whatever happened to quietly punishing your children? If you don't want people telling you that you are a bad parent then don't go putting your parenting style out there..and punishments out in the open. We at least respect our daughters enough to NOT punish them in public..if one of them acts out in public punish will happen..once we're in the car or at home. We aren't going put our poop out for everyone to see and smell.

Now, I ask..what are you teaching your children with these types of punishment..To me, I see it as very likely that the punished child will see it as okay to call people out and may eventually do something like this:

Now, unless you want to teach your kids that its okay to call someone out in public..okay, go right on ahead..but part of the problem in general right now is people basically airing out their laundry in public and thinking its okay..Its not okay..Yes, life sucks, its unfair at times, people make bad choices(even adults) but is it really okay and acceptable to do stuff like this now? Have we really lost our class and human compassion that much to where the second someone does something wrong that we feel the need to call them out either in sign form..Maybe I should make a sign saying my husband has bad aim with the toliet Seriously, it seems like the 'in' thing to do and I find it as unfair that I end up cleaning up his mess when he misses..So, why not?

Okay, thats my ranting..now, you should go off and make a sign too about something thats unfair!

Okay, for about six months now I've seen men and a few women putting up pictures on their Facebook page like the one above plus some conversations online over weight vs beauty. As a non-curvy woman I must ask..does the fact that I don't have D cups and junk in the trunk make me NOT a real woman? A woman is a woman regardless of what she has or doesn't have..Why must we always belittle women like this? I have never once seen a photo like this with a hot stud with a six pack saying 'Real men have abs'. This whole 'real' trend drives me crazy. Of course, I'm a real woman..I gave birth to a child and I get a period every month which comes with cramps, cravings and mood swings. If I weren't a 'real' woman I don't think I'd get any of things..but maybe I'm wrong on anatomy.

Why do we put weight and beauty together anyways? Its not like being 110 pounds is going to magically make you a pretty person and being 230 pounds makes you a horrible person that no one wants to be with..Why can't we just simply be happy that the person is healthy no matter what body type they are..Yes, I am skinny and naturally skinny at that BUT I don't eat a full bag of potato chips or sit down and eat a whole tub of ice icream on my own. I eat my fruits, veggies, watch my portions and yes, I do have chocolate everyday just because I'm thin doesn't mean I don't eat..trust me, I do eat somedays healthier then others but still I don't starve to maintain my weight. Its also not impossible that someone who weights 200 plus pounds is actually eating responsibly and working out. People are way too quick to point fingers- as the skinny girl since puberty I can tell you people point fingers at the skinny people as well..I remember just after I had my daughter- I was 110 pounds and on drugs up the butt, and barely being able to keep a meal down. I was on meal supplements because I couldn't eat but the second woman(especially) saw how skinny I was and had a newborn in toe I got dirty looks and sometimes nasty comments. I was once asked in the food court 'is that baby yours?'. I wanted to be a smart ass and tell them that I was renting her out for the weekend but instead I gave the evil eye and just said 'yes, thats my baby'. Numerous times in the past too I've had people question the fact that I eat. Anyone whose on my friends list on Facebook knows I eat and a lot. Yes, I'm skinny and I will eat an entire plate of food and proud of it!

How about we stop putting women under the microscope so much and just focus on encouraging women to be healthy and happy with themselves..Again, another personal thing is that I spent most of my 20s worried because I didn't have big boobs. It took me a few long time to realize how great it was to have small boobs. I can wear what I want(sometimes without a bra), I don't constantly need a bra, I have the best selection of bras and clothes in general and hey, I have no backaches..Again, how about we focus on making women realize they are great at the shape that are in and encourage them to be healthy and happy with themselves. We aren't going to get anywhere by putting each other down. I mean we all talk about bullying and cyber bullying..somedays I see pictures posted by someone and I cringe and feel bullied because I'm not super curvy.

Okay- thats my rant for today!

   Okay- so someone who shall remain nameless recently said that my husbands job was a hobby..He is a self published writer. To set this straight, I will put out this blog because honestly after a while I became sick of the conversation. Yes, we put forth money so that he could be published but that doesn't mean that it isn't a job. We do royalty checks tri-quarterly and honestly, I kinda get sick of hearing input from deaf ears. If you aren't in the industry..please, don't tell me how it works. I may eat at a resturant and like their food..Infact, I think my pallet is pretty good but I in no means know the resturant industry or what it is involved to be a professional chef so I don't put my input in..ever. If you don't write and you don't put your writing out there for others..don't try and give advice to writers especially the self-published indepedant writers..

  That being said- just like anything else in the arts writing is no different..its a job..you work at your job. You put in the hours and sometimes your pay is crap. Same thing as any small business owner goes through as well- its an investment, its a risk. I know many writers who can't afford to be self published or to put their names out there at all. Its an investment and still a lot of work. I know many artists in my inner circle some are in bands, some are classical musicans, some painters, some writers, some digital artists, some dancers and hey, it may not pay the bills completely and they may have day jobs so that they can pay the bills but those jobs are just jobs..a career in arts isn't easy and sometimes you put in the hours and get very little pay...

That being said- I've seen many of my friends recommending apps and stuff that will give you complete books or allow you to convert your books into free property. I have to say this irks me..I know with the hubby and his app whenever someone buys an app we take a pay cut..a major pay cut. This is a major issue among independant/new/self published writers..People want free or 99 cents and in the long run the person providing your entertainment and reading enjoyment takes a paycut or simply isn't paid at all. This is no different from the napster thing that happened in the 90s. These are artists and some of them are starving artists just trying to get their names out there. I personally hate it when I know someone simply buys my husbands book in digital form only because thats a paycut for this household and for him- with all the work he's put into building that book and the zoo around it..well, its a slap in the face. You don't work for free..Do you? Or work for a few dimes..Do you? It just irks me..stop ripping off the artist and pay for the book..Its bad enough trying to get your name out there in this digital revolution where books are sold way cheap on an app or basically ripped off and put on the net for free..its disqusts me..Pay for whatever art form you want to enjoy so that the artist can get paid for their hardwork and effort.

In short, if you like your independant artists..support them so that they can get their names out there and possibly be signed or get a perment gig..You deciding to be cheap and rip them off and not pay for their craft is wrong...Thats my ranting..

 This week for me I've seem to have gotten into a ton of debates over parenting- mostly because of that video of the little teenagers bullying the bus monitor that went viral. I've heard so many people pointing the fingers at the parents and that one mistake from the child makes them a bad parent..yadda, yadda, input a lot of stuff..but yeah, I figure its time for a rant..

  Anyways, I feel like a lot of people pointing fingers tend to forget what they were like as a child and need to go and call their own parents and have a talk about what type of trouble they got into as a kid/teenager. We've all done it- but the second we see another young kid mis-behaving we point the fingers and forget about our own mistakes that we made as a kid. What's that saying again- 'Those who live in glass houses shouldn't thrown stones' when it comes down to it I believe on this subject we are all in a glass house and have no right to say the parents aren't doing their job or messing up the kids because again, I'm sure if you think real hard you can come up with a dozen things you did as a child that caused your parents do basically have to do 'damage control'. The only major difference now is that the social media is here and Youtube and well, now our mistakes and our childrens mistakes can end up becoming 'viral' and end up as 'news'..which to me really isn't that comforting. I personally plan on teaching both my girls internet etiquette because well, nowadays you need it to survive. Not to mention, I don't want any of my daughters airing dirty laundry online or someone else's dirty laundry on the internet. I know a lot of people don't agree with me on this but kids learn through messing up..so do adults. Not giving your teenager a cell phone and certain internet accounts won't allow them to learn and the proper way to behave on the net. You can sheild all you want but in order for them to know how to behave on the internet you've gotta start giving them access to things and freedoms. After all, once you hit a certain age you have a lot of freedoms and your basically at the last real tests before you let your child out into the world be an adult. I want my girls to know and learn all they can under my guide before I send them out into the world.

Which of course, was part of the other debate I had this week- all about teens under 18 being on Facebook which mind you, they can be on Facebook as long as they have a parents permission. Now, how much the parents monitor what they do is up to them..and yes, kids can 'sneak' onto Facebook and lie about their age..Seriously, back in the 90s I would lie about my age to view porn(sorry dad) and to get into certain chatrooms..Every kid does it and infact, even kids my daughters age(six) lies about things in hopes of getting away with it or just to see if they can pull the wool over their parents eye's. Again, I say..stop pointing fingers..just because a kid 'sneaks' on Facebook or their parents decide to give them freedom with the net doesn't make them bad parents..again, think back to when you were a kid. I would also like to say if you willingly accept someone who you know is under 18 onto your Facebook account that you are holding yourself liable. If you know you swear a lot have at least the common sense to check your settings- just because you 'assume' the parents are keeping an eye on it. As someone who has been yelled at on World of Warcraft by someone else's parent let me just say this..when it comes to allowing a teen into the company of adults(regardless of if they lied or not to get there) you cover your own so you don't get yelled at by another parent. As a parent now I don't want lectures from other parents..Cover your own and make sure you won't get yelled at by parent..that simple!

In short, when it comes to teenagers(even though I don't have one just yet) I think we all need to step back and remember a time when we were teenagers/junior high and what we put our parents through- I already know its tougher then it was at one time BUT in this house the hubby and I team up and keep up on the technology as it comes out so that by the time our girls are teens we'll still be up on things and able to catch and monitor things..Of course, not everyone has the time or patience to do what we do here..so its understandable that mistakes happen..even parents I know with teens who do keep up with technology still have slip-ups with their teens..doesn't make them bad parents just means a slip-up happened..Everyone needs to get off their high horse and gain a kernal of empathy and remember when they were a teen..thats really all I've been trying to tell people all week. I don't care how wonderful you are now as an adult- remember back when you were a teen and pestering your parents. I bet you've done things just as bad as what keeps showing up on your 'news' on the internet...before you judge on anything about any other child whose done something wrong that makes 'viral news' seriously, think back to when you were a teen before you speak.

  Okay- oddly enough I heard about the Michigan state rep banned from speaking after saying vagina on the same day I watched an episode of "How I met your Mother". The basic idea of the episode is that Robin sleeps with one of Marshell's friends and well, its discussed that he has a small penis and of course every male friend gets up in arms over the fact that they talking about a penis and not boobs yet in numerous episodes Barney well, he likes the boobs- anyways here's the article on the Michigan rep incase you haven't heard: http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2012/06/14/155059849/michigan-state-rep-barred-from-speaking-after-vagina-comments?sc=fb&cc=fp 

I guess my question is..why is a medical term or even a woman discussing her vagina or a penis even taboo? Are men the only ones who are allowed to discuss body parts and bodily functions. I mean its not like this rep. used the slang term like beaver..or then again, would that have been even more offensive. How is a medical term for a body part offensive? How can these men who want to take our rights to contraception find a term like vagina offesive? How can men get all up in arms over a woman discussing a man's penis? Are men really that scared to discuss body parts other then the ones that they like..Really, lets all grow up here. If your an adult the word vagina and the word penis shouldn't make you squirm and shouldn't make you uncomfortable. In general, I see a lot of the USA as teen year olds- you say one thing or you talk about one thing that could be uncomfortable and suddenly its offensive..Grow up! I know I brought this up in another blog too on breast feeding..seriously, most of the people in the USA and most of the men who want to take away pregnancy prevention seem to have the thought process of a ten year old. If you wan to take things away, if you want your cleavage pictures of women..well then, use words you may consider *bad* swallow your pride and say penis and vagina. We aren't ten anymore...get over it especially if you want to run this country and/or even sit around with your boys and discuss boobs. Its really a sad commentary in general on our country..

Okay, thats my ranting..Hasta! 

 So, I read an article on yahoo this week about the average cost of a wedding nowadays and I was simply amazed at what I was reading. Incase your wondering..here's the link: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-much-wedding-will--20-000-buy-.html

  Now, as a woman I know we are trained and have it put in our minds to want a white wedding with all the bells and whistles but honestly, really all it is at the end of the day is a very expensive party. Yes, its nice to say your "I do's" infront of your loved ones but the reception after the ceremony is really where most of the money goes and I've even heard many horror stories of in-laws and parents trying to completely butt in on the ceremony and want their say in this, that or the other..which come on now..It isn't your day..back off!

  The hubby and I got married in a courthouse- I think all in all we spent all of about 100 dollars on our wedding if you count the money spent on my dress and shoes. We even went low key on the rings too- we didn't 'upgrade' our bands until our fifth wedding anniversary. We got married in a courthouse with all of two people there. One was our neighbor and the other person was my husband's brother. The flowers I got for my wedding were made for me by our neighbor and I had no clue she even had those plans but my husband knew what she was up to and didn't tell me. Our wedding was for us and that was what was important..not the price tag or who was there. It was about us and for us not anyone else..Sure, we could have waited six months to a year to plan a horribly expensive and stressful wedding but really, whats a wedding..its just a wedding and a party..its not that important if you ask me. The marriage is whats important. You can spend tons of money on a wedding only to divorce in the long run. Why not just invest the money into something as opposed to putting on a show? Thats really all the big white wedding is anyways...a big show.

 Yes, eventually we'll put on the show for the friends and family, I mean I already have a white dress for the big vow renewals. Infact, the dress was bought shortly after I had my daughter and we were discussing the renewing the vows. Oh, but of course before we even put on the real vow renewal we are going to get married in Vegas with Elvis because..hey, why not?

 Anyways, thats my ranting for today..Until I update again..hasta!

 This week has been highly entertaining to say the least. We had a credit on our account for a not to be named chain pizza chain because they forgot to slice up a pizza we ordered the week before..of course, this being a free meal we made sure to make good on the credit! A free meal is after all a free meal and you don't really get those all the time. Anyways, the pizza showed up and we ended up ordering a philly cheesesteak pizza(this may help you narrow down which chain pizza place we ordered from), we got the little one her standard small pizza with a few things on it as well because she's not about to eat a cheesesteak pizza. We all happily ate our food over a movie just like it was any other day and we all of course enjoyed our dinner..

  The following day though..it was pretty clear that there was something not right with the pizza. I woke up with stomach cramps the type to where I had to go online and check my charts thinking my monthly bill was showing up early. The little seemed generally okay minus well, we'll just say something disturbing stuff coming out of one end of her but all in all the hubby got the worst end of the deal. Needless to say after that pizza its been a week filled with bland food, lots of soup, a little bit of ice cream and generally we're all kind of eating like birds..a little food here, a little food there..It seems to be passing without anything having to see a doctor as in everyone can keep down fluids and no massive fevers have shown up either..In fact, today the little one ended up sleeping in until 8am..This is mostly unheard of unless she was sick...We all woke up at about the same time today and when we reviewed what time it was us parents were worried that maybe the little one had gotten really sick but nope, she woke up pretty chipper overall and has been eating and having her fluids like she should.

It's been a very not so fun week to say the least- at this point, we're thinking we may go back to not ordering from the not going to be named pizza chain ever again. I mean we went a few years without ordering from them..We had completely written them off but gave them a second chance..Now, this happens and we may be just not ordering from them ever again..Oh well, they had a good run this time before they messed it up. On the upside though, some of the stuff we've been needing to get done..got done..it just took longer to complete then expected and we still have one last week to get the little one registered for school otherwise we'll have to go over there when they open for the new school year aka two weeks before the first day of school..I really hope things stop going wrong so we can register the little one before school is out...For a simple chore it shouldn't be this tough to get done. I mean the school is literally not that far away either just everytime we plan to go something goes wrong and I'd call food poisioning as being a pretty big and annoying thing that went wrong..At least we have time to get over there still..

Anyways, thats my ranting for today..Until I update again...Hasta!
