<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I came to check out my page and realized it had been weeks since I posted. WEEKS! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And well frankly that is not acceptable. I would like to say that I have been busy but I haven't. I've just been lazy. I had 3 weeks of no school. Which meant that I was home alone while the girls were at school. Talk about not knowing what to do with myself. I cleaned and then once that was done there was nothing else to do.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Awkward. And I said that in a sing-song voice for those of you who probably heard me say it like that in their heads. Just clarifying.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">But onto the real reason I posted. I am here to give everyone updates on my stories. The ones that I keep saying I'm going to finish but never have. Those.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">First I'll talk about Beautiful Stranger. As of right now I am currently working on Chapter 9. I can tell you that I plan to have 5 more chapters after that and then the story will be finished. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Next, Breathing. This story takes me awhile to write for because of how heavy the issues are with the main character. I want to do it justice by not rushing through it and giving you all half written dialogue and descriptions. Once I have a more concrete date of when I will have the next chapter finished you will be the first to know. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Finally, Love Me Now. I have gotten a few emails in regards to this story. I have not forgotten it but I also want to focus on the stories that I have currently posted first. My plan for this story is to edit it and finish it. It will probably also have a different name once everything is said and done. But I just wanted you all to know that I did not forget about this story or you.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So for everyone who has been wondering, "When the flip is she going to finish?" I just wanted to let you know that I did not forget and I want to finish just a badly. It would make me incredibly happy to see my stories finished and printed or in ebook format. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">That's if for now but look for more updates in the future. </span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Happy Mother's Day!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So.... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This morning I felt someone starring at me and when I opened my eyes my 9 year old, Alex, was in my face looking at me. After she apologized for startling me she said, "It's Mother's Day." And then she ran out of the room to get her gifts bringing back her sister.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Half asleep I looked down at my gifts and read the first one from Ariana.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">E-SPA-cially for Mom</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">They were spa coupons for various things. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Breakfast in bed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Back rubs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Having a cold drink delivered to me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And the best one...30 minutes of quiet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">One of the cutest things I've seen in a while. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Next I got a poem with a hand print from Alex, which made me smile. Along with various notes and letters that show how much they appreciate me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">After a week of secrets, which for one I'm proud of them for keeping, I got the best gifts a mom could get. A whole bunch of love.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">To make things even better I got up to make them chocolate chip pancakes. Two pancakes in, Alex asked if she could make them for me. So I just wandered off while she made me breakfast. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As the day went by I decided that since I wanted to be lazy and not go to the park, which is what they wanted to do, that I would do something just as fun. So I went upstairs to find a movie. I found what I wanted and then set out to make a fort. I grabbed the dinning room tables and several blankets and made my masterpiece. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Once the girls saw the set-up they forgot out the park completely and we had the best night. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I hope all of you had a wonderful Mother's Day as well. You never get enough credit so live it up today.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Last night I was scrolling through my Facebook when I stopped and saw a picture from a page I liked. It's called Black Women "DO" Workout! And on it there was another inspirational picture and stories of women who triumphed over statistics that they would always be fat. That they were lazy or that they couldn't do it. And it got me to thinking maybe I should start working out again.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I looked at the picture for awhile and then decided to keep scrolling when I saw a friend of mine had posted that she had lost 10 pounds and made her goal for the month. "You can do it too, all you have to do is get motivated," her post said.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I smiled and continued to scroll when I saw another photo of RuPaul Drag Race celebrity Carmen Carrera. For those who have no idea who that is, she is a transgendered woman who has been fighting against all odds to be seen and recognized as the woman she is no matter what body she was born into. And she has an amazing body. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was as if the universe was telling me to get off my lazy butt and do something. For the past month, I will admit that I have noticed that my jeans have fit a little looser and when I got on my scale it said I weighed 179lbs last week. This made me smile because before this I weighed in at 185. I contribute that to the fact that for the past couple of months I have been cooking all of my meals. I've eaten out a couple of times and both times were treats. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So if eating healthy has me losing a few pounds what will doing that and exercising accomplish? </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And so today I woke up a little later than I normally would and stepped on my scale. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">177lbs. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I smiled and trudged downstairs where my kids showed me various yoga poses they are learning in school. I know all of these poses but it made me smile to know that their school is taking a real stance on combating obesity and encouraging their students to be healthy.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And so after I stretched and my kids had gone outside to play I started in on the 24-day Abs-So-Tightly-Right challenge.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLYW1EDQdW3mKZ0P8zjjGFmDD4s6ALIOVBmhJKvINt1MhxPV4d-IYLESVcPeHePLtXRMFOOJxQCJoYBxxb6G53R8ZmoyrwUsn9v52vX9RYJY0S8lJ2rmI1EcT6p_496zesPRr_ax9dImph/s1600/abs+challenge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLYW1EDQdW3mKZ0P8zjjGFmDD4s6ALIOVBmhJKvINt1MhxPV4d-IYLESVcPeHePLtXRMFOOJxQCJoYBxxb6G53R8ZmoyrwUsn9v52vX9RYJY0S8lJ2rmI1EcT6p_496zesPRr_ax9dImph/s1600/abs+challenge.jpg" height="298" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Today was my first day. And then shortly after that I ran a quarter mile to strengthen my legs as well. I plan to get to the end of the 24 days and hopefully there will be a noticeable difference. I also plan to work in running after my abs workout. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And if there is anyone reading this that thinks, "I don't have time for this." or "I'll start this on Monday."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I say why not squeeze it in while watching TV. It only took me 5 to 10 minutes to do this. And with each day the better I get at pushing through the more I'll have a sense of accomplishment. And there is nothing more exciting than meeting a challenge head on and conquering it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I plan to post some photos as I go along and pray that I don't become to embarrassed by them. I'm not really in the habit of showing off my stomach. But I think if it means showing off some rocking abs or at least the progress to getting them I can do it. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">For anyone who wants to check out the website I spoke of earlier I've listed the links below. And even though it is named Black Women "Do" Workout, the exercises and tips they list are for anyone. As they say on there website, "every body and 'everybody' is different."</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for reading and have an awesome Saturday.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hey everyone! Today has been an awesome day! I woke up this morning and both of my kids gave me birthday gifts. They're the best gifts I could have asked for. Although I told them they didn't have to get me anything at all.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This past week has been filled with whispers and being told to stay out of their room. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"Get back momma!"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That was when I walked by and almost saw the masterpiece being constructed. Here are the gifts below.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Aren't they amazing?!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Later after I dropped them off at school, I decided to treat myself to lunch at Chili's. I love their Chicken Enchilada soup. It's so flipping good. If you haven't tried it, you should. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well as most of you might know Chili's doesn't open until 11:00am so I ended up going to a comic book store until they opened. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The food was delicious and afterwards I got a free scoop of ice cream. But the most amazing part (to me at least) was that they have a system at the table that lets you pay from your table. How cool is that?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So cool!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After my yummy food and dessert I decided to go see my sister. And later on tonight we're making rice crispy treats. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">All in all it has been the perfect day. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for all the birthday wishes!!! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">That's right Stalkers, I have exactly 5 days until my birthday and I'll be the big...dare I say it? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">3-0</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It was scary just typing it. And yet not so much. Mostly because I don't feel like I'm almost 30. I feel like I'm still a kid who just gets to do grown up things now. Of course the fact that I have my own kids kind of puts things into perspective. Especially when one of them jumps on me in the morning to wake me up.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Where they find their energy I'll never know. But someone should find out and bottle that shit. That's all I'm saying. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyhoo..back to the birthday. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't have anything in particular planned. My kids will be in school so I'll get to have a day of resting and relaxing. And going to see the new Captain America movie, unless something else captures my eye.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But most importantly I get to celebrate another year of being alive. Another year of fighting obstacles and coming up victorious.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And for those of you who have been with me since the start of this blog, you can attest to the ups and downs that I have had. The highs and lows that sometimes seem almost insurmountable and yet I have come out of it stronger and wiser.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So today I am going to smile, finish my homework lol...and keep in mind that my worse day is shadowed by someone else's and that no matter what the sun will come out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks to everyone for reading. Later</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The picture above corresponds with the chapter. As all of you know the story Breathing is a bit of a change from what I'm used to writing. It's dark and daring. It's sad and emotional. It's...not what I usually write. And for that reason alone it can be a bit draining. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The character Sonya is a small part of me that I never let anyone see before. She's scared and alone. Loved and yet afraid to love back. And in the last chapter you see her open up a little bit and let a little of the pain drift away.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well this chapter will be just as draining for some as the last, but I promise that the sun is about to start peeking through the clouds after this. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So without further hesitation I give you <a href="http://onlinestalkerstories.blogspot.com/2014/04/breathing-ch-05.html">Breathing</a>. </span>TheOnlineStalkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05706513924378990441noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-940751869886901210.post-91756183323975844802014-04-21T13:56:00.000-07:002014-05-10T22:25:10.815-07:00Hello, I'm Back Again.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I can just see the rolling eyes in my head right now. "Of course you're back..again. But for how long?" </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">And I can completely understand why you would think that. I come and then I go....I come back and then I leave again. I'm the definition of spastic when it comes to posting. And the only thing I can tell you is..life happened. But that's not an excuse either. I can still post even if it's not a giant post. At least to let you know that I'm still alive and that I have not forgotten about all of you. Well the ones of you who have stayed with me this long. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Did I mention how awesome I think you guys are? I didn't? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Well you all flippin' rock! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">To catch all of you up here is what has been happening with me for the past year and a half. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I discharged from the Army in November of 2012 for good this time. And while I had a lot of amazing experiences with the military I found that I was needed at home with my children. And so I finished out my contract and moved to good ole Texas. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">For about 6 months I looked for a job and gathered paperwork for school and then finally I started school in June of last year, 2013. I've been in classes ever since. My main goal has been to finish school for this past year and so I've taken classes during the Summer, Fall, and now the Spring semester will be finishing up soon. Yay to that. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">But....</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I start classes again in the Summer. Talk about exhausting right. But lately I've been feeling this urge to write and share my thoughts and then finally it clicked. "I have a blogger account. Why don't I just post here?" And ta-da! Here I am.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Just the other day I started working on Chapter 5 of Breathing. A lot of people have emailed me inquiring when I would be finished and of course I felt horrible because to me it had only been a few months since I submitted. However, when I checked I saw that it had been well over a year. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">A freaking year?!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Where does the time go? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Well no more! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I won't promise to have stories up every week or even every month, but I will try my best to post something here to let you all know what to expect. And if all goes well I will have a new update for Breathing by the weekend. I want to make it a longer chapter to compensate for all the time I've had between each post.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">So on that note...um...hi. lol.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">And I will see you back here again this week. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Thanks again to all of my followers. You are the reason I want to finish my stories. What started off being voices of imaginary people in my head has turned into real people living life on paper. And I never imagined anyone would actually want to read it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">So...thanks.</span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hi my Stalkees,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Or the ones who haven't abandoned me lol. I know that I vowed to post more often and I really mean it. But then as always life came up and smacked me in the face. Apparently she didn't like me very much. I've spent the better part of winter trying to fix an financial error that would have had me paying back the military over $11,000 dollars. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So from December until just last week, I have been on the phone every other day calling between two agencies to fix this discrepancy. And of course they were quick to hold my last paycheck and tell me I owe them money, but when it came to fixing it all I kept getting was call back to your last place of employment. Or we don't do that, they do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Sigh</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">To say that this has been an exhausting past couple of months would be an understatement. But now that it is all finished and I no longer have to worry about it, I can once again focus on my writing. Which brings me to the next issue at hand.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Breathing</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">No not the act of breathing, but the story that I started. I logged into my Literotica account and found that several of my followers on that site had written comments on how they were waiting for the next chapter. How my characters had resonated with them and had struck a chord in them that for awhile I wasn't sure I could do. But from the moment Sonya came to me, I knew this was a story that had to be written. No matter how much pain fueled it. The journey will be worth it in the end I'm sure.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The second is Beautiful Stranger </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And so to all of you who are wondering I have not abandon ed this story either. My goal is to have something done within the next two weeks that I can post for you all. It's been such a drawn out project that I don't want to be one of those writers who starts a story and then just stops.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I can guarantee that I have not grown bored of it. And as cliche as it continues to sound, life truly did put these stories at a standstill. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So with that being said, I hope that the remaining followers who check in read this and see that I am slowly working on getting you the next chapters. Just bear with me and feel free to comment, email, or ask any questions you need to. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Thanks for all of your support</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hi my Stalkees,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's been quite awhile since I have posted a Thursday post. Or any frequent post for that matter. It's a wonder some of you are even still following me. I have been inconsistent and kind of a flake. This of course has not been my intention. Life truly did get in the way and then it ran me over with a train. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">But now a year and some change later, I find that my life is a bit more clear. I can see through the fog that had surrounded me and life doesn't seem so bleak. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A lot of you have been asking about the stories that I have started but never seem to finish. And this is not fair of me to keep you hanging on by a thread. And so this year will be a year of first for me. One being that I vow to finish all the open stories that I have. In order to do that I will need to buckle down and spend a few hours a day writing, even if it's only a few sentences. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This will be no small feat as I have several stories open. The two most popular being Beautiful Stranger and Love Me Now.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I would try to put myself on a deadline right now but this is as far as I've gotten in 2013. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Once I do have a schedule I will try my hardest to keep that schedule. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My strategy is to get a few chapters written before posting so that I can have something to fall back on in the event my Muse leaves me or I have those off days so many of us writers have. It will also guarantee that my followers, all of you awesome people aren't left waiting for months on end only to get no results.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And so this is me keeping my New Years Resolution to be more active on my blog and to finish what I have started in the year 2013.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here's hoping I don't break it like so many people do.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hi all my Stalkees,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I want to start this post off by saying Happy New Year!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I know that I haven't been on much lately, but as much as a cliche as this will sound..life got in the way. I'm not going to bore you with the details of how my life spiraled out of control only to rocket back up out of the abyss that was my life.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have tried as much as I could to make this blog a success and for awhile I lost my passion and interest in it, because I thought, "Who really reads this?"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Today, I got an email asking me about a story that I had posted awhile back called Love Me Now. This person asked me if I had published it so that she could buy it. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Reading that email was like winning the lottery. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It also reaffirmed my dedication to this blog and getting everything back on track. And so to all of you who have been following me, I am making this my New Years Resolution.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am going to publish a book this year. I will finish what I started and I will try my hardest to make this the best blog I can for all of you.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you all for your support and love. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">Last night before the girls went to bed, they wrote a note for Santa and left him one of their toys under the tree. We put out a key to let Santa in the house because we don't have a chimney and we wanted to make sure he'd be able to get in. And then they went to bed without a fight and slept.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">This morning when I woke them to tell them Santa had been here, they jumped out of bed and ran into the living room. When they looked under the tree they found a letter from Santa and the key he used. The letter said:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">To Alex and Ariana,</span></b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Thank you for letting me in. The key you left was very helpful as well as the toys you left under the tree. They will make some little boy or girl very happy. I hope you like the presents.</span></b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Love, </span></b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Santa </span> </b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">P.S. Thanks for the cookies and milk</span></b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">This then caused them to run over to the table where they saw a plate with crumbs and a half eaten cookie. The glass of milk was completely gone.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">Best Christmas Ever! </span> <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hi everyone! (squints eyes as she covers her head)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Oh...no one attacked me with day old bread or pelted me with tomatoes. That's always a good sign. Of course the day isn't over yet. As you all know it has been quite some time since I have posted on my blog, but due to some personal issues that could not be avoided. But we don't want to delve into my unsavory summer. No! We want to know what is going on with my stories. And to say that I have been a bit of a procrastinator would be an understatement. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">But...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have been working on two of the stories that I know are very dear to you. One of them being chapter 4 of Breathing and the other being Chapter 8 of Beautiful Stranger. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">For a lot you Beautiful Stranger is much more important to Breathing. And I will spending quite a bit of time this week writing chapter 8, editing, typing more, re-editing..and then finally posting it. As I go along I will be posting what I'd like to call Mid-week Quickies. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Each week I will choose a fairy tale and put a spin on it Stalker style. I've never attempted something like this before, but I have seen on several of the blogs that I follow that giving readers something while they wait for the much anticipated chapter slows down the amount of threats you receive. And also bodily harm for delaying the next chapter after keeping them in suspense for so long.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">This week was supposed to be the debut of Breathing Ch. 4, but I am putting it off one more week so that I can make it longer and also start working on Chapter 5 to lower my wait time. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">My normal posts will resume on Monday with my Manic Monday post and carry on from their. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">For those of you who have stuck by me through all of my writer's block, moving to a different state, family issues, and Muse miscommunication....I just wanted to let you know that you are the reason I continue to write and push myself to make each chapter better than the last. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Thank you for your support.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I’m back!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I know some of you are probably saying, “You never told me you were
leaving!” And you would be correct – so
hello my Stalkees. I tweeted the main
reason for my absence a couple weeks ago on Twitter. For those of you who don’t follow me on
Twitter, my absence was due to the FLU.
I was surprised that you could get the flu so late. So I Googled it and I found out that flu
season is actually from October to May.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Go figure that I would get the flue the LAST month of flu season. My kids kept trying to talk to me while I was
half out of my mind with a fever and body aches. Why is it that children want to be around you
more when you feel like crap? And of
course they didn’t get sick. They’re
like super heroes or something. Able to
shield themselves against the common respiratory infection and Dr. FLU!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So my first weekend was filled with medicine, fever, sweating, and
aches. And being in the military, if you
don’t have a fever but have flu like symptoms they just give you some Motrin
and send you on your way. And so that
was what happened. I went to work that
Monday with the flu and a slight fever. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fun right?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So half way through last week I spent washing and packing clothes for
my kids. Because guess what all my
lovely readers, I had to take them to Indiana to see their dad. By myself.
From Colorado.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I priced plane tickets and found that it would cost me almost a
thousand dollars after buying plane tickets there for three people and then
back for me. Plus the cost of a rental
car and a hotel. So instead I opted to
fly.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mapquest says that a trip to Indiana is 15 hours. Mapquest—you lied to me! </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Driving across the great state of Kansas with a 7 year old and a 5 year
old is challenging. Especially when the
5 year old had to pee ever 50 miles or so.
Not to mention that once we got half way through Kansas to stop at a
rest area they issued a tornado watch for the state of Kansas. Not for a certain town in Kansas. No! It
said tornado watch for Eastern Kansas!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is when my daughter points up to the sky and says “Hey mom those
clouds look weird.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">See the pictures below to see what she meant. It was almost as if they were falling from
the sky, reaching for us. It was both
amazing to see and scary knowing that one of those falling clouds could easily
become a tornado before our very eyes.
And so we got back on the road.</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as the car was back on Interstate 70 a flash of lightning lit
the quickly darkening sky. Followed by
several more and then the sky opened up and began to pelt rain onto us. It got so bad that I eventually had to pull
over at a rest area to wait it out and pray that we were not near a tornado
since the weather was so bad.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Finally we got to their dad’s house and everything was going fine until
I had to leave on Memorial Day to come back so I could go to work the next
day. Going through St. Louis was pure
torture since the speed limit was 60 miles per hour and cops were pulling
people over left and right for speeding.
And so it took me almost an hour to get out of the city.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was making pretty good time since I didn’t have the kids with
me. I got a few hours from Colorado and
had to pull over. After a few hours of
rest I was back on the road and finally in Colorado after going through
construction and more 60 mile per hour traffic.

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">But…</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Once I got to the town I needed that would lead me to home I took the
wrong road and ended up driving the wrong direction for 45 minutes. 45 minutes wasted until I realized I should
be going west…not east.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And so I turned around and went back to the small town I had just left
and began my travel towards the actual city I needed. I made it by 7:20 and then realized I had to
go to work and be there by 9.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So I went home to shower and change and go to work. Where I had to stay all day.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Needless to say that I crashed as soon as I got home. And today is the first day I’ve had to write
anything at all. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So thank you all for sticking around with me. And I’ll try my best to keep you all better
informed.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I hope to have a chapter up for you on Saturday.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hi my Stalkees,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">This weeks Thursday Vent is a culmination of the week so far. As you all know, I have been having issues with my daughter's school and of course my apartments ant infestation. Well this week was no better. My daughter has been getting bullied and I spent three days talking to principal, assistant principal, and briefly to her teacher. Tomorrow is parent teacher conference.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I called my mom to ask if she could find out what time the conference would be. Just in case we had certain times to come. Do you know what she told her?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">"Well, she doesn't have to come."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">First of all..What?!?!?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">What does she mean I don't have to come. It's a parent/teacher conference for a reason. Add on the fact that my daughter has been getting harassed by two of her students...why would I not come? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">What parent knowing all of this would say.."You know what. I don't need to ask the teacher about my child's behavior and get her input." Or try to get their input.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">So first thing tomorrow morning I will be going to my daughter's school.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">As far as the ant issue goes. The Code Enforcement officer came out yesterday and saw all of the items NOT fixed. He went back to the office and talked to them again. And will be calling me tomorrow.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">But now I have to add broken air conditioner to the list. My AC hasn't worked in 3 days. I went to the office today and they told me maybe it's a tripped switch. And to try looking in the breaker box to figure it out.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I opened the breaker box and then closed it. I'm not messing up anything for them to tell me I broke it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">And to make things even better, my mom came in to ask for the code enforcement officers number. Apparently our neighbors are having some of the same issues. So cross your fingers that we finally get this fixed. If not I'll be back next week with more to say.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">But until then. Stalk ya later. *wink*</span></span>TheOnlineStalkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05706513924378990441noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-940751869886901210.post-59994187804548682472012-05-15T16:50:00.001-07:002014-05-10T10:59:06.830-07:00Bullying - What's Your School's Policy?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Does your child's school have a policy on bullying? And if so do you know what it is?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I ask these two very important questions because my child is on the receiving end of bullying. Two weeks ago it was brought to my attention by my daughter that she was being picked on by two little boys in her class. She is in the first grade and both students are in her classroom. My daughter is mild mannered in nature and doesn't like to get anyone in trouble, but in turn she felt as if her telling would get her in trouble as well.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The only reason we found out was because after school I told her to change out of her school uniform and she hesitated. When I asked her why, she said that she had bruises. I lifted her shirt and sure enough she had scratches and bruises on her back and shoulder. Once I got her to calm down she told me that there were two boys who had been bothering her at school. And when she told them she didn't want to play anymore they drug her by the legs across a graveled playground.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So as any concerned parent would do, I went to her school. As I walked to the front desk to explain the situation, the women at the front desk told me that I would have to talk to the Guidance Counselor. After being given directions I took my daughter to bring the matter up. It felt as if I was giving a police report.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">She asked the children's names, class room, and about the incident in question. My daughter told her what she had told me and we were informed that it would be brought up to the principal.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"What's the policy for bullying?" I asked.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">To which I got the response, "There is no tolerance for bullying."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I asked what was the policy for teachers when a child mentioned such a thing and was told that the teacher should have mentioned it to the front office. This was never done.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And then today as I was getting ready for work my mom came home after taking my daughter to school for me. Her first words were, "You need to go to the school and talk to them. Alex told one of the boys head butt her."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And so once again I made the trek back to my daughter's school. This time I spoke to the principal and explained what had been told to me. And once again I asked, "What's the policy for bullying in the school?"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And once again I was told that they had a no tolerance policy.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hours passed as the day went by and I decided to pick my daughter up from school. I normally don't since I'm at work when she gets out, but I of course felt that this was too important for me to have my mom pick her up.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As I walked to my daughter's class, I was asked by the Assistant Principal to talk along with my daughter's teacher. There they asked my daughter to explain what she had told them. The headbutting incident may or may not have been an accident. But the dragging across the playground had happened and there was no denying that.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Apparently what had happened was that my daughter did in fact tell a teacher. One of the recess ones they have monitoring the playground. The boy in question was given a consequence which was being put on the wall. According to the teacher she felt that was adequate punishment and did not inform any of the other teachers or the front office.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">When asked how many times she had told the teacher my daughter replied, "3 or more times."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And still no one was told of these incidents. So again I asked, "What is the policy for bullying?"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And again I was given the generic answer of there was a no tolerance policy for bullying.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In all the time that I have asked, I have not yet been told what that policy is. They have mentioned talking to the boy and calling his parents now. So I asked and what about notifying the parents that this is going on. What is your policy on this. To which she asked, "So no one from the school notified you?"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The answer to that is no. This Sunday was Mother's Day and my daughter pretended to be sick so she didn't have to go to school this week. No child should ever have to be afraid to attend school. And if anyone knew my daughter they would see how unlike her it is. She would rather go to school with the flu than miss a day.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And so parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles--I ask what is the policy for bullying at your child's school.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Don't let the ones who proclaim to make this a safe environment for your most precious gift stonewall you on the issue.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I can firmly tell you that my child will not be attending this school next year. And for any parents who may stumble upon this issue make sure your answers are satisfactory and not just smoke and mirror to satisfy you temporarily.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Stop Bullying now...before it's too late.</span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hi my Stalkees,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Today's Monday wasn't as Manic as the ones before. In fact It was the perfect picture of semi calm. I started the day off by taking pictures of the work that my apartment complex never fixed. And on Wednesday I'll be giving the Code Enforcement officer a call. I gave them more than the allotted time to get in here and fix it all but they sent in a maintenance man who for all I know only had half information or instructions to only fix one problem.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I then went to work where I did nothing. Literally. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I'll be getting out of the military in a very short time. I have completed one term and even reenlisted so I feel it is time for me to get out and stay home with my family. The girls are getting older and need a stable presence in their life. It's a decision that didn't come lightly or easily.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">However, a lot of the people I work for still treat individuals getting out of the military as if we are the gum on the bottom of their shoe.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">"You could just finish the rest of your time."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">"What are you going to do when you get out? Work at McDonald's?"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">These are actual questions that have been asked by higher ranked individuals. First of all "finish the rest of my time?"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">It sounds like a prison sentence when put that way. And when working under individuals who make your life miserable it feels like prison too.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">As for the work at McDonald's comment a female at work got from her boss all I could say was "Wow!"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">He thinks so little of her that he believes she'll get out the military and what? Become one of those women who uses the system instead of getting her education and a better job.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">The only good thing that came out of today was that my daughter got her new glasses and then we went to the park to play.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This was too awesome for me not to post tonight. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I normally take my mom to work at night. So I loaded the kids in the car and off we went. My mom works at a Wal-mart that isn't that far from us. a good 10 to 15 minute drive through downtown. As we're on our way I tell my mom how I talked to my friend about how the lady sideswiped us in her car. And my mom asks me what did she say.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So I try to whisper as low as I can. "Stupid Bitch."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">But seeing as my daughter has bionic hearing, she says, "Oooo. That's a bad word mom."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"You weren't supposed to hear that."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And afterwords I start to mess with her about who said a bad word to which she says "You" and I say "You who?"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">To say this is fun entertainment for me is an understatement. But as so many say..It's the little things in life.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">After about five minutes of going back and forward with her she says, "Oh my God."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"Oooo...you blasphemed," I tell her.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"No I didn't. I'm not a Christian."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"What?"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"I didn't say a bad word."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I laugh and take the bait. "What do bad words have to do with Christians?"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And without missing a beat she says, "Because, Christians say bad words."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I can't make this kind of stuff up. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So I tell her, "But I'm not a Christian. I'm Wiccan."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tell me ladies and gents why my daughter starts to argue with me and tells me I have to be a Christian because I said bad word earlier.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And my mom doesn't make it any better because she says a curse word right after that to which my daughter says, "Grandma you're really a Christian. Mom you're sorta a Christian but Grandma is really one."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"You're other Grandma's a Christian," my mom says.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"No she's not. She doesn't say bad words." </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So now my daughter thinks that all Christians say bad words and no matter how much I tried to convince her that they don't--she's just not believing it.</span></span>TheOnlineStalkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05706513924378990441noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-940751869886901210.post-22276074870062312672012-05-13T17:11:00.000-07:002014-05-10T10:58:11.424-07:00Happy Mother's Day Daddy/ Mommy What's that Word Mean?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Not exactly the titles you were expecting to see today right? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Last year on Mother's Day my Daughters gave me a ceramic picture that was drawn in class. This mornings gift was just as special.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">At 7:30--a full hour more of sleep than usual I must add--my kids woke me up to say Happy Mother's Day. And then they told me to close my eyes.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">When I was finally told it was okay to open them I couldn't help but smile as I saw two teddy bears holding a heart that said "I Love You Mom"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I smiled the biggest smile ever because they had put all this effort into getting me a gift even after I told them that I didn't really need one. At seven and five it was important for them to know that they apprecieated me.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And then my youngest daughter looked at me and said, "Can we call Dadddy and tell him Happy Mother's Day?"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">With a request like that how could I refuse right? And so I called their dad which went to voicemail. This is the exact message that was left:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"Hi. I want--what did I say? Oh yeah. Happy Mother's Day Daddy! Call us back so we can tell you Happy Mother's Day."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Can't make stuff like this up if I tried lol.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Fast forward 5 hours</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My youngest daughter went to church with my mom. Me and my oldest daughter stayed home due to her being a little under the weather. So I decided we could watch Glee.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Yes. I love Glee.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We're on season 1 at the moment and we got to the episode where Kurt wants to sing Defying Gravity from the play Wicked. But of course Mr. Shue won't let him which causes Kurt's father to go the school and raise some hell.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">But what I forgot was in the episode an anonymous man calls Kurt's dad at his shop and says, "Your sons a "f*g"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And we all know that word isn't fig. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as the words left the television my seven year old turns to me and says, "Mom...what's that word mean?"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So I paused the show and had to explain to her that not all boys like girls and that many people say that word to be mean and hurtful to people who aren't like them. Which led to me explaining that some boys like boys and some girls like girls. And want to marry them.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"How do they get married?"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"Um...In some states they can get married just like Mommy and Daddy did."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"That's wrong," she says.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"No no. It's different. There's nothing wrong with it. You can't help who you love. Just like Mommy and Daddy can't help that they love each other. Never say something is wrong because you don't understand it."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"Okay. So boys and boys can get married. Weird."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">She doesn't really understand it, but I stressed that you can't help who you love and it's never wrong. People just don't always understand it. And as a daughter of a Black mom and a White dad, she'll have some people who don't understand that, but time changes lots of things.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And so that was my Mother's Day. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dad got a shout out and my daughter learned that boys don't always want to marry girls.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">All in all a really great day.</span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It seems as if my computer rebelled against me today. Well technically it's my mom's computer but I digress. It ate my story and so tonight I will be awake to retype it. Maybe a new version of it will be better than what I actually had written. But I am determined to get this chapter out this time. No excuses. Thanks to anyone who has been so patient with me. At least I got one of my two chapters out on time. That's progress I guess. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thanks again for your understanding guys. And you'll have a new story first thing in the morning for mother's day. If I have to stay up late to do it. With brief naps in between to refresh myself of course.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Yesterday the Code Enforcement officer finally came out to look at our ant issue. He was inside less than 5 minutes before he started commenting and shivering as his skin crawled. We explained the issue and after checking out the multiple places they were he moved to out bathroom where he discovered our upstairs neighbor's toilet was leaking down on our toilet and bathroom floor. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Yuck!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">He went to the front office to ask them what the exterminator had said about sealing up the hole they left. Apparently he had told them it was okay to seal it up three days ago. But they didn't inform us of that. Nor did they try to seal it. So the Code Enforcement officer gave them a week to fix everything. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Which includes:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">1) Sealing the holes</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">2) Caulking the windows so that the ants can't come in through there either</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">3) Taking up the neighbors toilet to make sure nothing is growing there and fixing our ceiling.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">So far they did a horrible job of fixing our hole and they only resealed the neighbors toilet, but they didn't pull up the toilet to see where the leak was actually coming from. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now I have to vacuum the dead ants up and see if they actually fixed the problem. More than likely no since they didn't do everything they were supposed to do. So now all I have to do is wait and see what happens.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Here are the before..middle..and after pictures. Tell me...what do you think?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It is getting close to crunch time. Two more days until the new chapter of Beautiful Stranger is revealed. And I don't know about you, but I'm excited! But instead of letting you suffer with what ifs and what will happen, I am gifting you with the 6th chapter of Beautiful Stranger to keep you company. And to refresh your memories. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Thursday Vent will be up later in the day. I'm sure by then I'll have plenty to vent about. </span></span><br />

Half the week is almost gone which
means that you have two chapters from two separate stories coming your way. But
to tide you over..as promised, I have added Chapter 5 of Beautiful Stranger for
your reading pleasure.</span></span><br />
