Can we say OMG

Okay whoever lied and said school was free needs to rethink that little statement for sure. Went school supply shopping and TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY dollars later they have there school supplies. And this is without new book bags. How insane is that???? I remember when I was in school all we needed was paper, folders and pencils. SERIOUSLY two hundred and fifty dollars is not even right!!! And this does NOT include school gym uniforms or anything of the sort. this is JUST for supplies. The other thing that pisses me off is all the stuff the teachers need for themselves. They get money for supplies and I know they have to go into there pockets for things BUT Office Depot and places like that also offer them a teacher discount on things. I would rather just give them some money and let them buy the supplies off the discount that they get and I don't!! Just my little complaint of the day

Rest In Peace

CHICAGO - Bernie Mac, the Emmy and Golden Globe nominated actor and comedian who worked his way to Hollywood success from an impoverished upbringing on Chicago’s South Side, died Saturday at age 50.

“Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital,” his publicist, Danica Smith, said in a statement from Los Angeles.

She said no other details were available and asked that his family’s privacy be respected.

The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body’s organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publicist said was not related to the disease.

Wow was I ever shocked when I read this this morning. I loved him in Ocean's, well all of them. He will be missed a lot

Bumper Sticker

I saw a bumper sticker this morning that reminded me of the people on TOB. It said "God Hates Republicans." Are you serious? I'll never understand people the equate every part of their lives to politics and the Republican vs. Democrat fight. And why bring God into it? I really doubt that God gives a crap which party you belong to. It's all very childish to me, some people need to get a life.

Well the first part is done

So I took the kids to register for school today. All went well, but Preston is not very happy with his teacher. It might be because it is a male teacher and he has never had one, not sure but I sure hope that he can get over whatever it is about his teacher he doesn't like. Now Caleb has a INCREDIBLE looking Science/homeroom teacher. I was like DAMN where did you come from. Let me tell you he is HOT HOT HOT!!! LOL I even told him he could get in trouble in that class as much as he wants :O)!!! Madison is a bit scared with it being her first year in middle school and because of her disability (dyslexia for those who do not know that already) she is in a resource class and she is not that happy about it. It makes her stand out and that upsets her. At her old school it didn't matter much but here it is going to. I hate it so much for her since this is going to be a hard adjustment anyway and middle school are way hard years!! But tomorrow we go for the supplies and Monday they start. Good Lord where did all the summer go?????

Chic vs. chick

Ok so Joanne and I have been talking about the correct spelling of the word chic/chick when you are referring to a girl. I have always known it as chic, because a chick is a baby chicken. Not sure if it is a southern thing or what. So what do you use when you are spelling it out and talking about a girl?
