Well I must say I finished much better than I started.
The last one has led me to a random memory:
We were married by a minster named Mel Knott who shared the duties with my father.
He also did our premarriage counseling. The thing I remember most from our counseling with him is how much he loved his wife. It was very evident.
He is also the minister who showed up at the hospital for Devonae's surgery. I think he was actually there before we were.
A man of God who loved his wife, and touched our lives during significant milestones. So when I look back at it I see clearly what Christ was talking about when he said that you would know they are Christians by their love.
Mel Knott died to cancer about 2 years after Devonae's surgery.
He left behind the wife he loved.
He left behind an imprint on love on our lives and many others.
He went to live with the Christ he loved.
I am thankful he blessed our lives and want to strive harder to leave the imprint of love on those I encounter in my journey through life.

3. I am always tired.
4. I don't like paying on my husbands school debt when he blew the chance to go to school for free is he go good grades.(his parents would have paid for what scholarships did not cover) Instead he played games got D's and racked up about 28,000 in debt for 1 and a half years of education/vacation.

Cleaning from a new perspective
The phone rings.
Someone is on their way over.
The house is trashed.
So how do I get the house clean before the police get here.
I start at the front door and quickly straighten up all parts of rooms visible.
Push the basket of laundry around the corner out of sight.
Have Devonae help get clothes on the nudists who will run to the door as soon as anyone arrives.
I managed to do it.
The police see no signs of a neglectful housewife and mother.
There is still no sign of that person either because I have continued to clean, even got out the oxyclean and scrubbed the stains on the carpet.
So am I reformed?
Probably not.
Is my son reformed?
No. Silly policeman was so friendly.
If I had to go through the humiliation of having a false 911 call from my house at least we could of had more of the "bad boys, bad boys what you gonna do when they come for you" routine.
So my bad boy was just pushing the phone on and off he "lies" to my too friendly policeman.
Perhaps the call was legit, I did just finish removing all the girls from downstairs because he was preventing them from cleaning by throwing batteries at them.
He might have been calling to report the assault.
Anyhow like I told the 911 operator , "there is no trouble here, just a little boy in trouble now"
Why do false 911 calls and calls to poison control make you feel like such a terrible parent.
Guess I get an F for Failure.

Not so great at pictures
So this is our last family picture.
Only 3 kids missing.
I guess I am going to have to get my camera out and actually take pictures.
Then I need to put them on my computer.
I think this picture of a picture actually came from Devonae's camera.
Give me a few days and I will make a clean spot in the house and clothe my nudists and ducktape them in place and get something more current.
It the ducktape shows in the picture please do not call CPS on me.
I may even allow a picture of me to be posted.
We will have to see.

My Stimulus Package
A mandatory immediate tax audit of all members of Congress and the top positions in the Executive and Judicial branchs.
Creates lots of lawyer and Accountant positions.
We need jobs right.
The rate things are going we should be able to use the money collected from owed back taxes to fund a tax cut.
Also all offenders must be prosecuted.
Think of the Correctional facility positions that will open up with the large influx of government employees.
More jobs.
Next do the same for every employee of every company that accepts bailout money.
Bailout pays for itself.
Tax cuts fund themselves.
Jobs are created.
And we get the "Change" we were promised.
