A Night Under the Stars

Tonight was really cool! My Cousin Patricia has a friend who is a Astronomer and he brought out the big telescope and set it up at the park for my kids. We were able to see Jupiter and 6 of its moons. We saw Venus and Galaxy's and he split stars so that we could see them. It was a night of learning and fun. Jacob was hung on his every word. We even got to see when a star dies out the ring of "dust" that it leaves behind. It was a beautiful sight to see. He showed us open and closed star clusters that look so beautiful I thought that's what the entrance to Heaven must look like!

Soccer Game

Today was Diana's 1st game of the Fall Season. The team is called the Eagles, they are purple and white. There game was this morning at 11:00 against the Green and black team with no name yet. The Eagles did great, they had great team work passing the ball and they even made a goal! They didn't win but they get an "A" for effort. The other team beat us 4 to 1. Diana is number 4 and Mariah is number 7. They sure had a great time! Here is a little Clip of her game.

Ok, so here's the 411 with Jacob's school. As most of you know I was a little worried about him going to school at Jimmy Carter Middle School. Jacob really wanted to go to JC Middle School because most of his friends are going there. So, against my "GUT" feeling we put him there. WELL, the first week of school was ok but then shortly after one of the 8th graders from the BD class (Behavior Disorder Class) started picking on him at lunch. He was calling Jacob names and thumping him on the head during passing periods. We went to the Principle of the school and she said "don't worry I'll take care of it". Well it was ok for about 2 weeks and then Jacob called me and said that same guy tried to choke him! I high tailed it over to JC Middle school and almost killed everyone in a 20 ft radius!. She again said "don't worry I'll handle it". I am just praying to God for answers what to do about this. I cant put him in another Middle school in the west side because they are not accepting any transfers right now. The other thing that makes me really mad is that he only has about 10 minuets of homework every night! Last year he had plenty of homework and the work was hard enough for him to always be learning something new. Right now he is doing work that he did in the 4th grade!!!!. I wish I was rich so I could hire Jennifer Carrillo (his teacher last year) and have her be our teacher in our mansion full of cooks and maids! SO SHOOT ME FOR DREAMING!!! Ok that's my gripe for the day!
Signing off for now,

Last night was Painted Sky's Golden Corral Night. We got to keep 10% of the profits we made plus tips. We did great!, we made over $200.00 in just tips alone. It was really fun to play "waitress", I havn't done that since I was 17! (which was just a few years ago!) Amy (our pto president) was waiting tables along with the PTO vice-president Lynn. Alberto and Jacob were also helping out, the best part about it was we got free dinner!

I'm Back Blogging!

Well Hello again Ya'll,
I'm back blogging thanks to my wonderful friend Sharron!. Since my computer's mother board fried I haven't been able to do anything on the computer. The computer place said to replace the mother board it would be about 400.00 to fix. Now that I have over $10,000.00 dollars in medical bills I decided it just wasn't in the budget to fix it right now. Mrs. Wonderful Sharron Huber said "well I have my old computer in the garage and its just sitting there". It's a very nice computer and it works like a charm!. Thanks to Sharron......... YEAH!!! So look for more to come and updates on my family. I am so glad I am able to see all of my friends blogs again! I feel like I have so much catching up to do.
