Things Aren't What They Seem!

Well, it has been only a few years ago that I had decided to run for School Board.  I had been on the school board for a full year and then it hit me.  I am not a politician.  So I quit.  I resigned my position.  Simple enough.  
  Just before I resigned my position, the school board voted to cut the Volleyball program.  It was a unanimous decision.   I voted to cut the program for three specific reasons.  I didn't want to cut the program because my daughters wanted to play.  Things could have been different.  The school my kids go to are all about sports.  I am all about education, but I do understand the importance of sports in school.  I just wish that schools didn't exist just because of sports.  I could go on but I think you get the point here.  
   I could be like a lot of people and go on facebook and make a statement as to why I resigned my posistion on the school board.  But if people really want to know why, I feel that they should come talk to me about it.  I am not a gossip or rumor spreader.  What I am upset about is the fact that my oldest child has to suffer for some of the choices I have made.  Now she is getting harassed by some boys that feel that they have the right to pass judgement.  Well,  I have since file a complaint at the school for bullying and Harrasment against these two boys and I understand that it is a he said/she said kind of world.  But I do think that I did get someones attention.  Enough said for now.
   

Back To School

This week is the first week of school.  At the time of this writing, it is actually day 3.  The kids have enjoyed it so far but it is early.  I have no doubt that they will have an awesome year.  So let’s begin.

  Lexi has a busy school year.  She is a Freshman this year.  Volleyball started off hard this week.  If she doesn’t have a game, then she has practice.  Something every day.  Plus, she had homework last night.  I don’t remember her ever having homework before.  But now High School starts off with a bang.  She is a smart girl and will do just fine.  She has grown up to be a beautiful girl. 

  Allison stated that on her first day of school that she LOVES 6th Grade.  I asked her why and she said that it was because it was less stressful.  You see, she is the type of person that is organized but gets stressed out when she is reminded about deadlines and such.  She said that it is more laid back for her.  It is at this grade level that they start letting you keep up on your own and give you a little more independence.  She will do great.

  Bradley was so excited after his first day of school.  He said “Dad, they even let me chew gum in class!”  I explained to him that I was certain that it was up to each teacher to decided.  He wanted to play basketball this year but this year they do not have basketball for the boys until 4th grade. Maybe next year.   I was surprised that they let the kids in his class bring bottled water to have at their desk if they bring it from home so that they will not have to get up for a drink.  My Little Fella is growing up fast.

  In the meantime, I have taken vacation this week so that I can take the kids to school in the mornings and pick them up after school.  I have done this for the past several years.  I enjoy being with the kids and getting them up in the mornings so that they are not stressed out.  I fixed them waffles this morning.  They seemed to enjoy it.  It’s also great when they are gone to be able to relax a little.  I do have a list of things (that my wife helped me make, LOL) to get done this week so it keeps me busy.  But I do enjoy the times when Michelle is off work this week with me so that we can sit on the couch and watch those movies that we have recorded on the DVR.  Michelle asked me if I wanted to be a stay at home Dad because the last few mornings, I have gotten up early and cooked breakfast for everyone.  I think one morning, I had even made Michelle a Cappuccino with her breakfast.  I told her that I could really get into it.  She thinks that I might get board but if I stayed at home, the days would get away from me.  I love my Wife and Kids so much.  I could really enjoy being with them everyday and getting them ready for school and picking them up each day and going on the field trips and such, but Work starts back for me next week.

OH, THE SWEET THINGS IN LIFE!

Civil Unrest!!!

DHS Stocks Up On Riot Gear In Anticipation of Election-Related Civil Unrest…

The Department of Homeland Security has ordered masses of riot gear equipment to prepare for potential significant domestic riots at the Republican National Convention, Democratic National Convention and next year’s presidential inauguration.

The DHS submitted a rushed solicitation to the Federal Business Opportunities site on Wednesday, which is a portal for Federal government procurement requisitions over $25,000. The request gave the potential suppliers only one day to submit their proposals and a 15-day delivery requirement to Alexandria, Virginia.

As the brief explains, “the objective of this effort is to procure riot gear to prepare for the 2012 Democratic and Republican National Conventions, the 2013 Presidential Inauguration and other future similar activities.”

The above article just proves my point/belief or prediction if you will.  My prediction is that When Obama finds out that he is not re-elected for President, he will decide before the inauguration of the new President, to declare Martial Law for the “Security of the Nation”.  Then he will activate the special forces that he has initiated to arrest U.S. Citizens for the so called “Security of the Nation” and put them in concentration camps that he has set up around the country.  Scary?  Be prepared!

Arkansas fires coach Bobby Petrino following scandal

Well,  I used to say that Coaches were like Preachers, People need to follow what they stand for and not follow the person.  Well,  Not in the case of the Arkansas Razorbacks.  So Let me re-phrase,  Follow the team and not the coaches and not individuals.  But you know what?  I really like Arkansas State Redwolves.  Just sayin.
