I am sitting here watching the news and it really tends to piss me off. I do not get Unions, I do not understand WHY ppl PAY to be a part of them THEN go on strike when they tell them too. LOSING their PAY cuz the UNION told em to go on strike!! There are a few different one going on here and I just DONT get it!!! There is a Nurse strike going on at one of the hospitals and now there is a teacher one that is supposed to start. The nurse one does not make me happy but the teacher one REALLY pisses me off!! Kids are OFF school for 3 FREAKIN MONTHS. Tell me WHY they cannot discuss their "contracts" in those 3 months????? Instead they take the time DURING the school year when our CHILDREN are the ones HURT by their stupidity!!!! It is just STUPID!!! And to think, people QUESTION why I homeschool my kids!!!! So their is a threat of strike and kids will not have their teachers, sure they can get subs, but it totally disrupts a classroom and the way children learn. As if our kids are not far enough behind in the school systems now add the STUPID unions to screw em up even more. I personally think unions just need to GO AWAY!!!! OK, done with that rant :o)

I want to say congrats to my girlfriend Bev, she just got a job to become a police dispatcher!! CONGRATS SWEETIE!!!!! And Best of Luck!!!! :o)

8 DAYS TO CHRISTMAS!!!! ! :o)
