school fund raisers
2007-09-19 16:57:00 I can not believe schools still allow children to do fund raisers.There were so many tragedies for defenseless kids over going door to door.It is terrifying but on the other hand I suppose these schools need to do this to raise funds.Hell, my sons middle school has 375 walkers since they can not afford buses, how sad is that?So to do my part I created an online account in my sons name and sent emails to friends and family.Take a look and buy something, do something good for a kid or a school rather.I am not sure how much cash they need to get buses back in route but it is worth a try.At least, if my son doesn't make an impact that will bring buses back at least he gets a consolation sellers gift of a award brochure and a pick of a gift in it. Dear Mr. Dale Cherry, My school, Cunningham Elementary School , has just kicked off its fundraising campaign and I was wondering if you would help? We are raising funds for special programs and materials that are not in our budget. Not only d... More About: Fund

do you wear a mask
2007-09-16 21:40:00 I was watching a movie last night and the guy "Batman" said, "Not all heroes wear masks".I found that line to be deep.So it had me thinking how many non masked heroes do I have in my life...Maybe that is a question you should ask yourself as well.Why do we need holidays to point out the appreciation we have for someone?Or, maybe you can be a hero to someone in need, it is amazing the number of things you can do for someone and for free no less that will make someones day or at least moment.Bake something for a neighbor, give food to a homeless person, leave change at a payphone or vending machine, write a letter to a friend or relative.So are you a hero?????

Easy dudes I am of course referring to the fruit *wink*. Anywho, you bite then little bugger open pop the inner ball in your mouth and suck off the sweetness b...

It's Wednesday & I have too much on my mind
2007-08-29 19:36:00 Okay, so this post may or may not turn out fabulous because, I have too many damn things going on at one time.I am cleaning out bags of items that are from my cleaning days.I clean and go room to room and put items that are out of place into bags until I go through them to get them organized and lets just say I have four on my bed right now and am pretty ticked the flip off.Other than that I am washing the laundry of my two youngest kids and folding it.Another thing I am washing all the bedding for the two oldest kids and damn it they are going to hang that stuff outside. It is nice and warm and breezy and well my dryer is probably screaming at this point.Plus lets just note that I have to start dinner in a hot minute before the old man comes in here rambling on about his fabulous day at work and seeing the world outside this box I call home.* I think I will make EMPANADAS *** Note I do not make the dough home made.
