Howdy folks! It's Friday. Getting darker by the minute here. Supposed to rain like crazy! This weird weather. I went out, got the mower out, even went in town to get more gas for it, got home, and I felt raindrops. *Grrr!* Well, tomorrow's another day! Then I probably won't feel like doing it! LOL
I have a few things on my mind today. So, I guess I'll just dish them all out here. See if I'm in the minority (perhaps I'm crazy, who knows).
First off, I go into the high school everyday, and the last few times I've done so, I've been paying more attention to the kids walking the halls. These girls today have no respect for their bodies. Their shirts go way up to the bottom of their breasts. Their pants look like they are glued on. The skirts are RIGHT THERE at the very bottom of their butts! (length wise) Butts, breasts, midsection, everything just hanging out there for the world to see! OMG! And the guys, well, the looser the pants, the better! Pants hanging down to their knees. How can they put one foot in front of the other without reaching down to grab their pants!?!? Schools have dress codes. Why don't they inforce them!?! Skirts are supposed to be so long. Midsections aren't to be exposed. Tank tops/shirts cannot have the spaghetti straps on them. Guys tank/shirts can't be so loose that they can see their chests. Has the school system given up on our children? The kids are ruling the homes, schools, hell their ruling the world! This just urks me to no end! Anyone else or is it just me?

Grocery Stores ---- Everyone is complaining about how the price of gas is going up. Yes, I agree, totally. But what about the price of food? I go into the store to buy for the family. Spend an arm and a leg for a little bit of nothing. How is one supposed to live? This is ridiculous! Today for example, I went into the store to get a few things to get us through the next couple of days. 2 pks. of H.Dogs, bread, milk, coffee, juice, lunchmeat, t.paper, dog food, and a couple other things. Really nothing big. I even purchased the generic products. I walked out of there spending over $50! Three of those plastic bags of food. That's it for that much! Somethings gotta give here. It's pathetic.
What in the world is going on?????? We have to do something. I'm tired of struggling day to day, as I'm sure you all are. It's wrong. No one is thinking of the people. The ordinary, average 'Joe'. Busitng our butts day in and day out, working more than we should, and not getting anywhere! WRONG! Another **Grrrr!**

Last night was one of the worst nights sleep I've had in a very long time. I went to sleep no problem. I woke up midway through the night screaming and crying my eyes out. It was the worst thing. Let me say this first. Before going to bed I watched the season finale of ER. Now, if anyone else out there watches it, you saw how Nala (sp?) was struggling w/ accepting the death of her husband Michael. He went to Iraq and was killed in an explosion. So I had that on my mind. Prior to watching this show, I was watching the news. How they were talking about how 'our' guys were cracking under pressure being over there. How they are being accused of killing civilians. (which is wrong, I know) BUT OF COURSE THEY'RE CRACKING! Most of what they have sent over there are young kids.They've never seen this kind of death and destruction. Too much pressure for anyone of any age. It has to do something to the mind, their mental stability. How horrible for them! So, my dream -- My husband came to me, dressed in a uniform, telling me that he had to go. I was in total shock. I was begging with him, down on my hands and knees. 'Please don't leave me! Don't go!' I was screaming. I could feel the tears streaming down my face. In my gut I knew that if he left, I would never see him again. As I sit here now, I can still feel this undescribable feeling of loss, sorrow and pain. He holds me, carresses my cheek, then with one last kiss he was gone. I awoke, screaming, tears were actually streaming down my face. I grabbed my husband and held onto him so tightly. I felt like my world was going to crumble. He is my life, my world, my heart and soul. I couldn't begin to imagine what it would be like if I lost him. *sigh*
How my heart goes out to the women and children, and all family members who have lost a loved one to this and any other war. I pray for you all each and everyday. For their safety and well being. They need to come home. *tears*
So, these are my rants for the day. I usually don't complain. Just sometimes I get to thinking about things. How out of control this world has gotten. How things get me angry and sad, confused, annoyed. I know I'm not alone. 'Tis a sad thing. And an even sadder reality.
May you all have a beautiful day! Love all that you can. Embrace the little things. Try to make some kind of difference.And hope that it makes a dent. Hope. It's all we have. And each other.
It's May 4th. I know I haven't posted a blog entry in a while. So here goes.
I've been doing a lot of work on my writing. I received my PDF file for my second book 101 Random Ramblings & Poems. I will go over that once more, get that back to them. And then it's on to cover design. So, the release date should not be far behind. YAAH!
I've also been going over my third book, correcting things, making sure there is nothing else to do once I send it in. That way it will not take so long to release. I did complete that task. So, it's on to the fourth.
I've mailed out several media kits. For both books. Hoping for some results there.
I will definitely keep you updated on the release dates. I may not always post a blog, however, I'm on this site everyday, a few times, so if you would like to ask me anything, comment, whatever, please feel free to leave a comment in the guestbook, or email me personally.
Have a fabulous day!
God Bless
