Back to School...well sort of

I am feeling a little disconnected. All my teacher friends are returning to work and here I sit. It feels weird to not be teaching this year..not to mention to actually BE unemployed. I am going to miss the routine but NOT the drama. I am a little nervous about starting grad school. I mean I know I can do the work..it's just different. I am extremely thankful that my better half has encouraged me to take this path because I don't know if I would've considered it had he not.

OK on to better stuff..

Blakely is so ready to start back to school! How cool is that? She's ready to start the 5th grade. She has her school supplies and we are shopping for some new duds this week. I cannot believe she is going to be in the FIFTH GRADE! Where did the time go?????? It was just yesterday she was starting Kindergarten!!

I read an article today on msnbc that said in California they were giving away gift cards in exchange for guns. What the heck?!? Crazy Californians! I'll turn in my guns ONLY if the gift cards are for BassPro, Cabela's OR credit at your local GUN show! LOL No way hosea! Me and the 2nd amendment are tight and that's the way I intend to keep it. ;)

I try not to offer my opinion unless someone asks for it...seriously I don't! I have found if you tell somebody what you really think without their request..it's NEVER a good thing. I wish a few more people could pony up to this way of thinking. That's all I'ma gonna say on that one. OK, I know what you're thinking..I offer my opinion ALL the time without solicitation on my blog...why yes I do but it's MY blog and you don't HAVE to read it....but I'm awful glad you do. ;)

The world is your oyster. Expand your mind! Tolerance. Compassion. Bigotry and hate have NO place. This was a little random but I'm feeling rebellious. As a matter of fact, I want this on my tombstone.

I will never understand the capacity to hate. Even Hitler had a mother! Now I'm just rambling and this is never a good thing so I'm going to cut this post short...later blog readers.
