Disgusting Teaching in School

I Never Thought This Could Happen
by James Robison



"I am going to encourage you to have sex and encourage you to use drugs appropriately."

That was the message preached by clinical psychologist Joel Becker at a recent mandatory high school assembly in Boulder, Colorado. Children as young as 14 sat captive in the audience while other school administrators listened in silent consent. (It is revealing to note that Becker is a part of the Lesbian and Gay Psychotherapy Association of Southern California.)

Busy Weekend

My dad, Ivy, and I went off to visit family in Globe this weekend. Sunday night we visited Old church in Globe. We had a lot of fun. Ivy was a little fussy the whole time. I had to share a bed with her which I have never done and I couldn't believe how hard it was to sleep with her!! I laid down with her at 10pm Sunday Night, she talked, we sang songs till about 11pm in the dark. Finally I was so tired I kept begging her to close her eyes and sleep. She tosses so much in her sleep and she's such a light sleeper. I could barely roll over without her waking up. At around 2:30am, she was ready to get up for the day. She kept clapping her hands and saying "yay"! I made her go back to sleep of course. Then I woke up around 6:30am but I was afraid to leave her alone on such a high bed so I had to lay with her for another hour till she awoke. I had fun visiting our old church where my parents got saved and seeing some of my old friends. I love the rolling hills and I was excited to hear the mines were opening back up so that provides a lot of jobs for the men in the town. Ivy was quite a handful because I think she was teething and I couldn't get her to eat much. Otherwise, my dad and I had a great time and it was fun going together. Before that we had pool party at his family's house and then after the Globe trip I came home to a bunch of friends at my house. So after I played games, made lunch, and hung out. My friend and I drove to Anthem to some shops out there and then back to play more games. All in all, it was a very busy but fun holiday!

Post Mother's Day Thoughts

I sometimes have to remind myself (actually often) that I'm not just washing dirty clothes or changing diapers, but I am raising up future men and women that will someday fork out a path for themselves and their families. What I teach them now, the values I place in them now, or going to be some of their core beliefs as adults. They are so incredibly moldable right now it's scary. I know I have to be very careful. I want them to know that God should be the number one person in their lives and He loves them very much. I don't want to live my life comprising, or wavering, so they will know that it is possible to stay faithful through thick and thin. That the rain falls on the just and the unjust alike. That life is not always fair and if they do fall down morally or in other ways, to pick themselves, brush off the dirt, and to keep going. Not to give up because God never gives up on them. Being a mother is one of the scariest things to me that I could ever do, yet very rewarding.

I Can't Believe I Have Daughters!

Who could of thought I could ever be so lucky to have 3 boys and then 2 girls. It's just so perfect. I didn't have boy, girl, boy, girl. Just my boys together and my girls together. How awesome. I'm so excited that all my daughters fancy gowns get to be worn again. All her little shoes. The outfit Jodee bought Ivy before she moved to South Africa can be worn by the next "princess". The boys are real excited about their baby sister and they are telling everyone. They think there is not enough girls in the house. (We'll see about that when the girls are teenagers). Ha!

Things We Take for Granted

I've been doing some thinking, especially since Mother's Day is coming up, about how people used to have servants. At least some people did who could afford it. I would think, "Hey, what about me?" LOL! Then I really thought about it and this is what I realized....

Years ago, People sometimes had maidservants, we have the same here. People had it a lot harder back then in different ways, and I personally think we are extremely spoiled. Our maidservants come in many forms. We have a washing machine to wash our clothes rather than over a hot tub in the sun, we have a dishwasher to wash our dishes rather than by hand. We have water that comes right out of the tap, hot or warm! Rather than walking to a well some distance from the house. We have drains in our built in bath tubs rather than getting buckets to empty it outside. Much work was put into heating water in order just to draw a hot bath! We have electricity so we can stay up later rather than carrying candles around the house. We don't have to chop firewood to put in the stove in order to cook our food that comes from a natural fridge that had to be dug in the ground. We even have microwaves to give us instant food rather than labor over the stoves whether we felt like it or not! We have cars that can take us anywhere we need to go rather than having a carriage to slowly take us to town to buy more food. We can rummage through a sale at Dillards rather than plod with horses into town, sift through yards of material, then ride back home with the horses, measure, then sew just to have clothes on our back. We have airplanes to quickly take us to see a relative who may be sick and dying, or just to visit, rather than taking weeks, even months, just to travel there in hot carriages or sometimes trains. Most had to be satisfied to just send a letter. 

 You see, we truly are blessed! We have so many servants living right in our houses but we are so used to them we have ceased to remember that God blessed us with them. On the contrary, I believe we have it much easier these days. Lets not forget our blessings! So next time you look in the mirror and complain that your curling iron is taking too long to heat up, Just remember how far we've come!

Kids Behavior in Store

Iccle Anne said...
How do you manage with all the children, when you go to the supermarket? I'm asking all the mums I know - following seeing a child eating unbought food in the supermarket last night.



Virginia (Jenny) said...
Hi! I'm sorry it took me so long to respond. Actually, I tell my kids in the supermarket that they can look with their eyes and not with their hands. They are allowed to say they like something but not tell me they want it. I always tell them the rules before I walk in the store rather than once I'm inside. I do sometimes get some crackers and let them eat it while I'm shopping and then pay for it in the checkout. I don't let them just start opening whatever they want though. My mom did this with me and it helped me to stay calm with having something to occupy me. They know that they have to stay by my cart at all times and be respectful by not yelling or raising their voices. This is just how I've always done things and people always tell me that the kids are well behaved in the stores. I always smile because I know how hyper they are at home! :o) I hope I answered your question!

How Many Kids Should I Have?

You know, I've been thinking a lot about how much things have changed in people's mindset about families. Who sets the rules for how many kids each family should have? Who says how much you should make for a living? How old you should be before you start a family? For quite sometime I've put a lot of study into this and I have been trying to find scripture in the bible to tell me more. The only thing that I've been able to come up with is that when God joined Adam and Eve, He said "be fruitful and multiply". He didn't say, "be fruitful, wait till you're 35, see how you do with one kid, play it slow, seek Me, space them exactly 3 years apart, plant some more trees in the garden, then maybe multiply." Nope. It was plain and simple. Be fruitful and multiply. Yes I believe that if you feel as if you could kill the kids, then stop. Or you can't feed them and you're living in a cardboard box.

If you really look deep down, what is the real reason for not having kids?  Money?  Vacations?  Luxuries?  Age?  Big enough house?  Car? When I looked down into the root of it, in myself, I saw something that scared me. I Jenny, am a very selfish person. I want to have coffee at a certain time every morning, I want to eat out at will, I want to be able to sit on the toilet for more than 10 seconds without a kid knocking on the door, I want to have that red convertible I've always dreamed of, I want to be able to stay out late drinking Lattes with my friends, I want to buy clothes all for me, Shoes bigger than size 2 in the toddlers, I want to have my career and get my own paycheck.... This list goes on and on. In the end, if I had that, what do I get?

So, I can have coffee at 8am on the dot, I get a full stomach for the hundredth time at a restaurant I've eaten at 20 times, I get my butt stuck on the toilet because I read a magazine in the bathroom, I can get that expensive red convertible that was probably bought by credit anyway, I can fill my stomach up with Lattes that cost 4 bucks a piece, buy more clothes that soon go out of style and I'll soon want more, shoes and more shoes, a job that I have to drag myself to everyday and not get home till almost sunset in the traffic. What do I get after all that, after 20 years? Just stuff. And a empty dinner table. Now I know what God was talking about when the bible said;


"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's YOUTH. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; they shall NOT be ashamed, but shall speak with their enemies in the gate."
Psalm 127:3-5

"your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the very heart of your house, your children like olive plants all around your table."
Psalm 128:3

Children truly are a gift from the Lord. They truly are a joy! I love how they make me laugh, make me see the flowers in a new way, help me to understand how much God really does love and forgive because we are His sons and daughters. I love to see my kids excitement on Christmas morning, the fun at finding eggs on Easter, hearing them ask me to be their Valentine on February 14th, seeing how special they feel on their birthday, and all the playtime in days in between. Each little experience in their life is a lesson waiting to be taught. I truly feel that by giving my life to God, living by His Word, I truly am experiencing His blessings.

It's a Girl!

I'm definitely having a girl. My husband met me at my doctor's office along with Chaz and Ryan. We couldn't wait to find out what we are having. As soon as the technician put the ultrasound up to my stomach I could see I was having a girl. It's a good thing I wasn't wanting to be surprised! She didn't say anything but about 10 minutes later she went to go find the sex and told me it was a girl. It was pretty obvious! Charles and I are so happy to give Ivy a little baby sister. It's just so perfect to have 3 boys and then 2 girls. We are already talking about them having their boy nights out and us having our girl nights out. It's so exciting. Ryan is a little bummed because he was hoping for a little boy Jamison. He wanted him in his room. However once I told that he was so lucky to have brothers but Ivy wants a little sister, he was happy for her. : ) If you would like to visit my pregnancy journal click here.

House pics

Sorry guys, it's been so discouraging having computer problems I've gotten quite behind. Anyhow, I've had fun decorating and stuff. The only thing I really have left to do is lay out grass outside and paint every single room in my house. I don't like white walls. I'm not done with my bedroom or the other rooms but main stuff is done. Anyhow, here's some pics. Not all of them.

Virus Troubles

Sorry I've been gone a lot. I again got the Trojan virus and I am so frustrated!! I have Norton and a good firewall yet I still got it. Lord help me before I have to drink too much coffee from the stress of it. Just kidding. It is very frustrating. I just had a big party at my house with Charles' family. I will get pics soon to share with you! It was Charles' sister's birthday. We had a really good time. Last week I had someone over every single day for a week! This week will be much calmer. I think. We'll see.

Family Visiting

My grandma, my aunt, and my cousin came out for a visit from out of state and here are some pics. I think it's cute that Ivy got attached to her older cousin. That's the first time she met him. Here's a big group pic also of my grandma's birthday party. We had a lot of fun and I was sad to see my aunt leave because she lives far and I rarely see her. Before she left, they came to my house for a visit and then went to see my sister's New York and Company Store.

Viruses

I was not blogging for a little bit because I found out I had three viruses on my computer and my internet was shut down. I then took my computer in to get them removed by a professional. Now that I have Norton and a firewall, it's already saved me from getting the same virus again. Ugh. Glad that's taken care of.

Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter from our family to yours! (Charles, Ivy, Ryan, Kyle, Chaz, and the pregnant mommy)!

Egg Hunting on Easter Eve

We had a little get together at my mom's today. We came over to dinner, including my sister and her kids, and our friend Lola. We also had a little easter egg hunt for them and the kids had a lot of fun all playing together. They had water balloon fights, fun in the slip and slide, and played baseball. Here's a cute pic.

Pregnancy Journal

Come see my last entries in my pregnancy journal and my pregnancy reflections for the month!

Ivy Loves Dress-up

This is really cute. My friend Alice bought Ivy this for her babyshower and she just now fits it. So cute! She is so happy right now walking around with this on and her dress shoes. I hear "clack, clack, clack" around the house because she wants to wear her shoes all day. This isn't a good quality picture because I was using my camera phone.

April 2006 Flashback

Come and see what happened last year in April 2006! Lots of stuff happens in just one years time that we forget. Like Easter Egg dyeing with photos, the dullness of waiting for my house (yep, a year ago I was talking about it still), yet another McDonalds scare with Kyle, dogsitting and where Ivy learned to love animals, family fun in the park, Rawhide photos, babysitting, my nephews party photos, Rainforest Cafe photos, so much more. Okay, so I love journaling. But don't you think it's neat to track how much your life is changing, how much your little ones have grown, and how much you yourself have changed? These always remin me how little of time I have left with my small children. Before I know it they will be grown up.

Loads of Gi Joes

Since they've stopped selling our favorite Gi Joes in the stores, we've had to resort to ordering them on Ebay. The boys got a surprise box from the mailman a week ago (that's just a couple in the picture!)and the boys about had a heart attack when they pulled out all these tanks, Jets, fighters, more Gi Joes, etc. They don't know another box is coming! When we used to buy them in the store, just one tank was $30. Now you can buy a whole box of stuff. We wished we had thought of that long ago. But now they are becoming collectibles so we are stocking up before the prices go up and they are harder to get.

Fun Homemaking

Internet back up!! Yay! Anyhow, since we've moved in Charles and I had to go shopping for a new table since soon we will be a family of seven. This seats eight. That's the dining area. We bought the same version but taller and a two seater in the breakfast room plus matching bar stools for bar. We threw out all of our old furniture and just got new stuff. A patio table coming soon. The tree you see in the picture is a purple plum that blooms white flowers. However I'm gonna have my landscaper redig it back up and put a tree with green leaves instead. This one doesn't get very big and only blooms a short time once a year. I've been doing some gardening on my spare time. Love it! I have 5 more trees to plant and grass to put in backyard soon. The thing that's so awesome about owning a house and being a homemaker is that there is always so much to do. I rarely ever sit down and I'm never bored. I love always being busy whether it's with the kids, gardening, working around the house, cooking, etc,. I love being busy and that's what tortured me about living in the apartment. There was not much to do around the place. Anyhow, hope you can endure my improvement journals. When I have time, I'll tell you about the weird day I had today that put me to tears. Will share soon. Have to wash hubbies clothes right now. :o)

Moved and Lots to Do!

This isn't a very good pic. Just the kids walking around in their jammies. I found this picture on my moms computer. Sorry that I haven't written in so long! I'm having trouble getting Cox to fix my internet so I'm using my moms computer right now. I'm in my house so I'm busy, busy, busy and just loving it. Hate to sit around. I've installed 5 fans so far while Charles was at work. That's Ivy's fan you see in picture. Took me a day and a half to install all five. Of course that's because I also have four kids at home right now! : ) I've been gardening. Planting trees and flowers. Much more flowers to plant. I have about 8 more trees to plant. I threw out all my old furniture and bought new ones that I really love. Charles and I are just having so much fun having our own place. I really appreciate it after living in that apartment for a year. God has given me so much in 8 years that I feel overwhelmed by his blessings. I wish I could write again soon!

Nana and Papa helping out

My mom and dad were helping us out some today while we took care of the house situation so here are some cute pics. Ivy cleaning her hands at McDonalds and Kyle taking a bath at my moms house. Cute pics. Okay, I have to get back to packing..... :o)

Moving!!!

Oh guys, I am finally moving. I can't tell you how much 2 years of waiting have taught me patience! I am packing in between having bad morning sickness. Yesterday I packed for 12 hours straight. I went to bed around 11pm because I just couldn't bring myself to pack anymore. Today I'm supposed to get my keys so I'm excited. And Charles of course. :o) My sister who is moving up in South Africa to a bigger house, is also moving on Saturday. She has movers though. Lucky! I have a maid though to clean after I move out so yay! Anyhoo, can't wait for my kids to be able to play in the backyard and my poor doggy to have a better yard to poop in. He'll be like, "Whoa! What do we have here? Talk about poop space!" See my little itty bitty family in the backyard? That's how big it is. Yay! As soon as I can, I'm putting sod down.

What's Working for Chaz

Charles and I are so excited that we have found the root cause of Chaz's emotional outbreaks. I got to visit again with Chaz's doctor and we found that there was no change when he was on Ritilin but there was a significant change when Chaz was put on Abilify. I guess Ritilin never worked for my husband either. He had to use a different form for his ADHD. What IS working for Chaz is for people that have some type of Mood Disorder. There are various kinds. Chaz has been excellent in school and has been scoring perfect in his behavior every day for the last few days. Even at home. Usually Chaz fluctuates between being happy, mad, enraged, crying, back to happy again. Usually he causes a lot of stress in the household! But not since last Wednesday since he was started on Abilify. Actually, Abilify is one of the safest ones to use for Mood Disorders. This has been a huge relief for Charles and I and also for Chaz's teacher. She said she can't believe how well behaved he's been in school. We have never seen Chaz so happy since... well, never! We are also watching to see if he is able to focus in his classroom and learn. If he really struggles, then we will find something for his ADHD. For now we of course don't give him things with much sugar in it because we know it aggrivates his ADHD. I really like his doctor and I'm very impressed with him because he is slow and careful with his decisions. I can't tell you how excited Charles and I are about this new step with Chaz. After I have done much study about ADHD and Mood Disorders, I am sad to see that there are actual websites out there that say it's a fraud. Obviously those people have never dealt with it in their personal lives. I also learned that although it is helpful knowing what they are allergic to, eliminating those things does help the issues, but doesn't cure it. So I will be getting some allergy tests done but not eliminating the medication. This has been an unbelievable step up for us. I am so excited!!!

American Flag Comes Down

You will not see this heart-stopping photo on the front page of the NY Times or on the lead story of the major news networks. The protestors put up the Mexican flag over the American flag flying upside down at Montebello High in California.



Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

March Flashback

Click here to view what happened last year in March 2006! Lots happened between Dan and Jodee's farewell party, our scare with Kyle, fun with my nephews, beginning our search for help for Chaz, and Ivy's cute new swimsuit. Come and See!

My First Apartment

I was just thinking about how much God has blessed my life that I couldn't help of thinking how far I have come. Not because of me but because of God. Without him, my life was so empty before and no matter how much I tried to fill my life with my own rules, I was still lonely deep inside....
I lived there almost 10 years ago.

The other day I was driving and I went down an old street just to see what my first apartment looked like. It's so weird doing that too. It reminds me of how hard I worked to live there. First off, I worked at JCPenney only making $5.75 an hour. My one bedroom apartment cost me around $275 a month. Well, for one, just one of my paychecks was almost exactly that amount so I had to live off my other paycheck. I would pay all my bills and buy about $30 worth of groceries. Since I didn't have a car I would walk home from the grocery store with my back pack as full as I could get it and then bags all up and down my arms. It would be so painful on my back that I would have to stop every 10 steps and rest. I remember only allowing myself $1 a day for lunch at work and that was to buy a Cup O' Noodle from the machine. I had a bird in my apartment above my fridge that I loved. I had an old TV and since I had hardly any visitors I would just kick off my shoes after my bus ride home, make myself dinner, and then fall asleep on the couch watching Fresh Prince of Bell Air. You have to know though that I was so proud of how I was able to manage and care for myself on such a low income. Although it was tough at times, I felt excited that I was making it work and knew it was a good lesson for me. I lived there when I first got to really know Charles. He came by on my birthday once and gave me a CD. I was very grateful for this because I got pretty lonely at times living in that place. He didn't come into my apartment but we spent a few times talking outside on the patio. When I told him that I didn't have a stereo to play the CD's on, he went home and brought back his to give me. I couldn't believe he would do something so generous and from then on I started to pay more attention into getting to know him. I gave my heart back to Christ towards the latter end of me living there and I remember praying on my floor asking God to show me if this was the man for me. I was so very confused. I remember, like a vision, seeing clouds part as if the skies became blue again after so much darkness. Charles was pressed upon my heart. Although I was very scared to start into another relationship, I felt as if I just found my best friend for life. I'll never regret the day I met him.

Ryan's Field Day

Today was Ryan's field day and it was very cute to watch. All the little girls were surrounding Ivy. I promised Ryan I'd be there to watch the competitions but it was hard because I had such bad morning sickness. I knew that the teacher wouldn't be very happy if I lost it right in front of all the kids. Not to mention the fact that Ryan could ask me never to participate again! LOL! Anyhow, after that we ate with Ryan in the cafeteria. Are all cafeteria ladies mean? Because when I went to school they were looking at you like, "I give the food so you'd better worship me!" This lady was meeean! It brought me back to my earlier days in school. It was cute sitting with all the kids. Also, I knew my time was limited with Ryan wanting to hold his mommy's hand in front of all his friends! So, of course I had to come...

Taking Kids Bowling

If you haven't yet taken your kids bowling, now is the time! The younger the better. You know why? It's so cute how they can't yet put there fingers in the hole and how they have to put there all into just getting the ball to at least roll 2 miles per hour. LOL! I think the two older boys are finally getting a handle of putting there fingers in the hole but with much effort. Kyle's the cutest to watch because he tries so hard and his ball takes so long to reach the destination that he actually sits down to watch. It takes awhile! It's definitely a fun family event.

Makutu's Island

This is only one picture. There is so much more to see.

My husband had a couple of days off from work so we always wanted to take the kids to Makutu's Island. It's like an indoor tree house. But huge. It makes Chuck E. Cheese look like a dirt yard in comparison! Not only that, but Charles and I had just as much fun as the kids. There were indoor slides just like McDonalds but much steeper so that you actually go really fast. At McDonalds, you go like 2 miles per hour and then stop before you reach the end. Not at Makutu's! Charles and I went through all the tubes, down all the slides. Charles had to talk me into one of them because I was too scared after the first time. My kids weren't scared at all, they kept going down them and flying out at the end. There was just so much to do there that we stayed 6 hours and had to be kicked out because they closed! The management was so good and incredibly nice. Ryan actually had a small injury while we were there so the management made sure all of our meals were on the house. Believe me, we ate a lot that day....

We Love the Renaissance!

Come View our Renaissance Photos! or see vidoes below.

(Boys posing with some people in costume.)

Ryan's Joust at the Renaissance


Chaz's Joust at the Renaissance


Boy's Knighted by King and Queen





Here are some cute videos I took when we were at the Renaissance (Feb 27th). While I raided virtually ever food stand there was, Charles and the kids were finding which events to go to. They rode lots of rides and had a blast. It is our family tradition to go every year and the kids always look forward to it. So do we! Anyhow, I waited to post because I took an internet break! Good to post again.

Chaz's Update

First off, if you haven't been following our experience with Chaz click here view all my entries with "aspergers" in it.
As I learning to how to work with Chaz and exactly what is going on in that mind of his, I see how fragile he truly is. Times when I thought he was just throwing a fit, I now see as an emotional breakdown. He doesn't know how to bring himself back once he's crossed that line. I know how to calm him down. His teacher doesn't do this very well, but then again, she teaches an "ADHD" class. She is not trained in this area. Although I have to say I love her and she is very good at what she does. My son has learned very well under her teaching. Next year I plan on putting Chaz in a class that is specifically designed for Asperger kids. Aspergers is a social disorder and most people that don't understand or know him, tend to think he's just a mean kid. Chaz definitely is on an emotional roller coaster. One moment he can be happy and the next he can be screaming and throwing chairs at kids. Not a fun thing to deal with. Of course he's better at home because he is comfortable with us. This is a social disorder. Unfortuntately, there are ignorant people that don't even believe in ADHD. Sadly I was one of those until I had Chaz. Then I read James Dobson's book. He said that the reason there is such a negative view on the subject is because people have seen kids who were overdiagnosed just because they were active boys with some energy. But there really is ADHD out there and until that person is helped, it can be a rocky road ahead of them. I am looking into all kinds of things. Studying different avenues of treatment. Not just thowing out ideas because I am ignorant of it. I simply am looking at ever clue I can find. I am trying medicine as well as looking into his diet. Meeting with doctors, allergist. All sorts. For now, his behavior is worsening at school and things are not getting any easier for his teacher. I found a lady who's son also is a high functioning Aspergers and I hope to get some answers from her soon!

*Asperger Syndrome*
Individuals with AS can exhibit a variety of characteristics and the disorder can range from mild to severe. Persons with AS show marked deficiencies in social skills, have difficulties with transitions or changes and prefer sameness. They often have obsessive routines and may be preoccupied with a particular subject of interest. They have a great deal of difficulty reading nonverbal cues (body language) and very often the individual with AS has difficulty determining proper body space. It's important to remember that the person with AS perceives the world very differently. Therefore, many behaviors that seem odd or unusual are due to those neurological differences and not the result of intentional rudeness or bad behavior, and most certainly not the result of "improper parenting".

I'm Baaaaack!!!

Okay, I know I'm one week early but I just have so much to tell you! I can't hold them back any longer. :)

Taking an Internet Fast...

I am going to go on a temporary Internet vacation starting tomorrow so I won't be posting here for a month unless I go to a library. I thought it would just be a good time to get closer to God by fasting from some of the things in my life that are a distraction to me. This is one of a few. Although, I love journaling, I think it'd be a good break. An Internet Fast if you will! I actually will be shutting off my entire Internet so I won't even have access to it nor will I have access to my email. Trust me, when my month is up I will be posting ASAP! LOL!
