School Halloween. . .
I was a class Mom in Hailey’s Room today I got to take pictres, Help with Crafts, Snacks and Packing up to go home. Here’s Some of the Best. Her teacher is the Football Player. She’s always got a smile on her face! I think that’s great!
Here’s Hailey’s Class Party and Parade:
Halloween Hoot
The PTA puts on a Halloween Party and this was our 1st year going. We weren’t very impressed the music was WAY too loud The girls got their fortune told and they had to scream at each other to hear. Hailey’s fortune was that she was going to be a great dancer when she grows up. Sierra(I don’t think she could hear)
The small gym was crowded. 500 students and their parents Aye!
The Spooky Walk was a better one for a Middle School or a High school but not Elementary. We didn’t take the girls into the scary parts they got to go on the 1st 3 which were a Pile of blow up Pumpkins, An inflatable Frankenstien and Shrek came out of his Outhouse and Said “Get outa my Swamp” and shot some air puff gun at them.
We went on a Hayride that was pretty long and we just went around the soccer goals a Many times. Teh highlight of that was when a group of kids jumped up from their hiding place on a bench and said Boo. I kept looking for more. We went back in after the Hayride this time thru the front door and they gave the girls each a glow necklace. That’s when we walked back into the gym and Nathan snapped a few pictures of the girls and I. I dressed as a Working Mom this year(not a Stay at home mom) =)

My Computer got a Virus.
Thanks goodness for Nathan!!! He Spent 2 hours one night cleaning it. I have NO CLUE WHERE IT CAME FROM. . .Girls playing on the internet maybe? I throw out all my junk emails ASAP without opening them and Pop-Ups are blocked on my computer so I really do not know how I got infected. . .unless the girls clicked on one of the ads on a website and said YES because they know that YES means they can Play their game. They called up to us early one morning and said something was wrong with the computer. I told them not to play with it untill we could see it.
So Nathan Saved me!! Thanks!
The next morning however I kept getting all those Virus alert messages AGAIN. That night after watching shows with Nathan I told him what had happend and I got in trouble. Yep. . .I was put in the doghouse for saying YES to one of the pop up ads. Which I didn’t. I was so sad. I left so Nathan could clean up the mess and went to bed. I felt bad that he had to work late on it.
The next morning he told me I didn’t do ANYTHING. The virus left a bug that AUTOMATICALLY installs itself. SHWOOOOOOOOO!!!! and after that I Felt Much Better. Moral of the Story. . . VIRUSES can HARM you even if you didn’t catch them. (They just catch you!)
WHATEVER DEVANIE. . . QUIT BLOGGING! YOU SPELL THINGS WRONG! AND YOU DON’T MAKE SENSE HALF THE TIME!
There I go again I think I caught another Virus.

My Sis in Law has been hitting little animals in cars left and right and I had to ponder my hit-n-runs in my lifetime. . .
I’ve lived in CT almost 6 years and still haven’t hit a single animal, although I see them ALL the time and I drive All the time.(Squirrels, Raccoons, Skunks, Badgers, Deer, Cats, Dogs, a Turtle etc.
In Nevada I hit 2 Skunks and at least one Rabbitt. Got hit by 2 cars Rolled 1 truck. and backed into a car that was Deliberately parked behind me(dumb teenager).
Maybe it’s Lucky to hit them. I haven’t earned any animal, people or car POINTS since I lived in Nevada 8 years ago. Although just the other day I was HIT by a shopping cart if that counts.
Anyways Sierra’s still sick on the couch. She slept in till 9:45 then I went to her bedroom and caught her making her sisters bed so she could get a Gotcha Award. What a cutie. She’s sipping drinks and I’m trying to get her to nibble on food. She had 1 bite of a muffin yesterday, a fruit popscile and 3 tsps of medicine. She has been drinking though. She made her own Bed in the Sunshine on the floor.
1:45pm

Sierra is out sick today. Poor Baby, fever and nausea are the culprits. Just as I sent Hailey off to school Sierra got sick. I guess I should have thought about WRITING A NOTE this morning while I was catching puke!!!! So that Hailey can ride the bus not go to TaeKwonDo because I’m not taking Sierra out of the house. And because I didn’t write a note and the school won’t take a phone call from the MOTHER of the child I had to take matters into my own hands! (GET CALLER ID if you have to SCHOOL $9?$20? It would SAVE A LOT of PAPER and AGGRIVATION!!!)
So I called the police because I’m not going to put anyone out in my neighborhood to run around. And the police are there to protect and SERVE Right???? But did they have that kind of response to my call? NO they thought the school was Stupid and they should take my call. I told them the school wouldn’t. Did they care? Not really, they said “Fax them a letter”. OK but I don’t own a fax machine. SOOOOO I called the school again. I asked CAN I EMAIL YOU? And very nicely they agreed(what idiots!!!!) WHY couldn’t they tell me THAT in the 1st place? Come on I have a Kindergartner!!!! I’m new at this and what would they do if I didn’t show up?. . .Put her on the bus??? I bet so. If not would they have a babysitter at the school til I finally showed up at 6:00 when my husband could watch the sick child?
Maybe we’ll SEE next Thursday. Also If I did send a note. . .Are they really checking it against my other signatures to make sure it’s MY signature?????? I Should have the police look into that while we are at it. I would have asked them to if they would have served me and would have taken a note to the school.
Sierra Sick Sleeping on the Sofa
Can you tell I’m upset?
UUUUUUUUggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
