Please tell me that school starts next week!!! *sigh* ok, so school has just gotten out and I am ready for them to go back already!! Luckily, they are ALL going to summer school this summer and that starts on Monday. I never remember summer school being the way that it is now!! My older 2 got to pick the classes that they wanted and they have all kinds of FUN things to do!! My oldest will be in eMINTS most of the day and so that means he will be on the computer most of the day! He is really excited about that and cannot wait to get back on the computers at school. My older daughter does not really have to go to summer school so she is taking a bunch of FUN classes. She has Reading For Fun, Math Puzzlers, CIRCUS (don't ask me), Sign Language, and Zoology for her classes. She is really excited about all the fun classes she will be taking this summer and we will be able to do sign language with one another, which will be fun. Yes, I took a college course on Sign Language and I LOVED it!! Yeah, I am a dork and always will be :o) As far as the younger 2 go they will not be changing classes but will also be doing a bunch of fun stuff. Needless to say I am really excited for the kiddos.
My brother graduated Wednesday!! It was a really nice graduation and I am really proud of my lil bro. He kept his grades up all through high school and gets 2 years free at a community college because of the A+ program. So that will really help out with college. After he is done with his 2 years he is going to probably transfer to Mizzou, which is where one of my cousins goes. I am not sure what he wants to go for yet but he has time to figure it out.
Him, my mom and my grandma are all leaving for Korea on Saturday. I am excited for my brother to see a part of his heritage but at the same time am upset that they are going at all. Things have been rough with our family and I just really believe that my mom going is a mistake. She is being so selfish it is beyond belief. She thinks that she has to showboat for a man that is her sperm donor and nothing more. For a man that has absolutely nothing to do with her or her kids. She thinks she has to act like everything in her life is just dandy and that she has money that she does not have. Why she feels that she has to ACT for her father is beyond me. The man said he would come here to visit, so she gets on a kick of wanting to buy a bigger, new home... he the decides that he cannot make the flight over here so he is not coming. My mom then decides that its important to go to him. So she starts making arrangements to go to him and buys plane tickets for her, my brother and my grandmother. Well, my grandmother buys them, she doesn't. Then she decides that she needs to take a bunch of "gifts" with her. I guess alcohol is expensive there so she buys a bunch of that and honey too plus a bunch of other crap that she should not be buying. Then she talks to the man and he says that he does not think that he can make the drive to where her plane is coming in and why doesn't she come in to a closer airport so that he does not have to drive so far. So she is going to be on a plane for 17 hours from here to Korea and then have to turn around and get on ANOTHER plane to go from one place in Korea to another and does he offer to pay for those tickets??? NOOOO, so even MORE money for a man that should mean nothing to her.
There is a lot more to the story but I just dont feel I should get into it. I just know that the outcome of it all will not be good. Ok, I am done with all this...
My older daughter is on a girl scout camping trip. She will be back tonight. My older 2 have ball games this weekend. Plus it is the weekend that the organization has picture taking and a big fireworks display. So will be doing that this weekend and then our daughter has a game extra early Sunday morning.
Ok, I am off to clean house and do laundry. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
