A Trucker's Wife Point of View

Ok I want to be  the first to say happy birthday to my fave fox personality DOUG!
I hope you enjoy your time off and look forward to seeing you back on the air as a 26 year old!

Happy birthday to you
happy birthday to you
happy birthday dear mytechguy!!!!!!!!!
happy birthday to you!!!!!!

Ok now this is disturbing. A mail truck cuaght fire after going through debris on 45. In the report it states they were able to save the mail. Ok that is good but what about the driver? It waits till the end. To me the driver being safe is more important than the mail. but then again that is my 2 cents worth.

So how did you pick your faveorite bloggers???? Mine I select those that blog about things I am interested in. I want those who I can have an adult disagreement with and those I can understand them when they write. So how did you pick yours and who is your #1 fave???? everyone knows mine :)

     What a tragedy that happened on Black friday. Now the siblings are filing against Wal Mart. Should Wal Mart be responsible for what people do???

     They could have had the Marines out there and it could have still happened. One makes the remark about how the handle the crowd for the Iphone but that is no where near revelent for the situation that happend at Wal Mart. Can you picture going into a WALMART IN A SINGLE FILE LINE??? Yeah right it would never work, then you would have had someone get upset about waiting and then sue for not making it comfortable while waiting.

    The people who trampled the store employee should be the nes sued not the retailer. They had extra employeees etc. And it wasn't just that store that had those sales and it didn't happen to the other locations. The people who physically stepped on him is the reponsible party. Us as citizens should be able to control ourselves. For saving a few dollars is no reason to act like children in a candy store. The people who trampled in like a herd of elephants should be ashamed of the way they acted and be held responsible for THEIR actions.

This morning was a good morning. It was nice and cold and felt like Winter. I headed to work thankful that I had work to go to. Husband was getting ready to head out on his next  load still suffering from Strep. Kids ready for school for them to get a days full of learning. Days like today I really enjoy being who I am and what I do. I took my roommate to the hospital to have her labor induced. So the only bad thing is I will have another little being in the house that I will most likely have to make sure is being cared for correctly. I am hoping that this will give her the wake up call she needs to realize what she is in for.

I am working for a teacher who will be out fopr awhile. I took the time to day to basically observe each class to see what or how I will have to handle each class. Some students for some reason think that if there is a sub they don't need to be respectful or that they do not need to do their assignments like they should. It really surprises me on how many just do not care what they get for grades and if they pass or fail. I could not ever imagine my kids thinking the way some of these kids think now and days. The school district is apart of VSI and I am able to check my child's grades at any time I feel and this way I am able to keep them on track and to get the grades they need to get.

Thanksgiving was great. Hubby was able to come home and I gpot to spend time with my in laws.

So that is how I am doing today. Hope you all are still counting your blassing and cherishing each and every moment possible.

I am always trying to protect my kids but want them to fill what being hurt is and how it feels so they don't hurt others. My neighbor brought over her two girls which are around the same age as my two. They were all playing and next thing I know my oldest is in here crying because my roomie took out her chair where they were playing and now her friend is busy talking to my roomie and has quit playing with my daughter and then here comes the smallest one with the same thing. Why would a 22 year old want to monoploize a 13 and 8 yeard old from playing with my children? I cannot understand why someone just has to be the center of attention like that. So do I tell her to come inside or do I wait for my neighbor to come back and then talk to her. Or do I tell my kids to suck it up it is apart of life???? OH sometimes it is hard being mom............

The Cleveland Middle School 7th and 8th grade girls basketball made second place in their first basketball tournament this past weekend. My daughter plays on the 7th grade team as so does many newbies to basketball. we are very proud of them for doing quite well.

       WAY TO GO                 INDIANS!!!!!!!!!

2008 has been one tough year.  For myself and my husband we have gone through jobless periods, We have come close to losing our house, our marriage and our sanity.

I am thankful that my husband has a good job with a good company and that we are getting back to the way we were when we first got married. I am thankful that my children have teachers that are patient with them and that my oldest has gotten tougher classes and still makeing the honor roll even with the basketball and choir practices plus honor society meetings. I am thankful that my son has found a group where he enjoys being a part of. He is not a cub scout bear and he is learning alot. I am thankful that my youngest even though always being picked on still loves herself.

I am thankful that I am still owrking at the schools as a sub. I am thankful that my kids are no where close as some of the kids i have subbed. I am thankful that Cleveland has hired some great teachers who make a difference in these little lives of the future.

I am thankful for being a part of a blogging family where we all can be who we are. That we can respect each others opinion and when one is attacking another we can stand beside each other and still call each other friends. I am thankful for the web sites of the day.

I am thankful that the Presidential election went as smotth as it did. That americans came together and everyone voted for who they did. And that the candiates came together afterward to show that even after a touch campaign that they were united in makeing our United States strong again.

So what are you thankful for??????

WHAT a GREAT turnout we had!!!!!! I loved chatting with everyone. I loved meeting the ones I hadn't before and loved seeing those you I have.  I think we all had great fun.
I was going to write something special to everyone but i am afraid to miss someone. I had so much fun I can hardly describe.

Here are the pics I took if you don't want to wait for it to be approved by fox. We had such a great time!!!!!!

Wow I didnt even notice. I have been blogging with FOx for 2 years!!!! This has been one of the best sites I have ever joined.

Some things I have learned from Fox...

1. There are some pretty great web sites out there. Thanks to mytechguy for the great web sites of the day... How could i start my morning without Doug???

2. Even though we all have difference of opinions on all sorts of subjects, we can always get together and have a good time.

3. If you need advice on any thing you can always get it from fellow bloggers.

4. Tv personalities are just AWESOME!

5. If you want unbiased news Fox is the station to turn to!

What are some of the things you like best about being a fox 26 blogger?????????

My roommate is a big girl. She has next to nothing in the line of clothes. She is near a size 50 in pants. If you have clothes in this size range would you please let me know. The charities dont have clothes this big and I cannot afford to take her and get new clothes. my budget has no room for that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well how is it going for all of you???????
Well good news-- I am working like crazy at the school, which means bills are being paid, I am not losing my house (big happy face there), my tests results showed my heart is good and strong so the chest pains are either a. a pinched nerve somewhere or b. I pulled a muscle in my chest... I am not doing any more tests and will be working out what ever it is. I haven't had an attack in nearly 2 weeks so I am doing pretty good. My oldest daughter is still maintaining her straight a's in school and my other two are doing much better. Hubby is getting the miles we need on top of that and the company is going to be putting him in a new truck!!! Woo Hoo, hopefully less breakdowns.

Ok Now for my don't be stupid around big trucks rants.
In Illinois I do believe. An individual riding his bike down the freeway. Ok so right there is one big no-no. He tries to switch sides in front of a big rig. Now you all have read my write Trucks cannot stop on a dime. You guess it he did not survive. The driver of the truck now has to live with the fact he uninentionally killed someone. Nothing he could have done. They are going over each little inch of his truck and log books to find him at fualt somewhere--Thank you big lawyers who encourage stupidity. Please keep both families in your thoughts.
2. In Minnesota. Unfortunately this happened to a fellow driver for the same company as my dear hubby. A group of kids run a stop sign doing 60 mph. HIts a big truck in the center between truck and trailor. My husband had to pick it up the trailor from the D.O.T. in MN and take it to the drop. He also had to make sure he got the pics the INsurance company needed. A group of kids lost their lives becuase the figure they could beat the big truck. Trucks are like trains they just cannot stop on a dime.
So please for your safety and the safety of drivers please becareful out on the road and give the big trucks the room that they need.

OH and with sweeps going on.... Fox keep mytechguy on the air and my TV will stay oin Fox! :)
YOu all have a safe Halloween!!!!!!!!

Hey fellow blogges! I know I don't post all the time like I used to but with working and trying to keep on top of each child's school work and activities it has been getting pretty busy.
Most of you did not know this, but I have been having severe chest pains the last few months. I have started getting them a year ago but it has gotten worse here of lately. I went to my doctor a week ago Monday and which I found out I need to lose around 20 pounds. The doctor would like for me to be here the 150 mark and not 170. So I am dieting again. I am having my blood work done tomorrow and then a week from Thursday I will be able to get to see the cardiologist. I am hoping it is not serious but my dad informed me of the extensive family history of heart related problems. So for me to think positive is really hard for me to do. I know it upset people when they found out but I truly didn't want to bother you all with all my problems. Here lately I just haven't wanted to be a burden on anyone. Lucky thing on all this is that dh now has health insurance on all of us.
I am working like crazy at the school and I am loving it. I do have to watch my level of "excitement" as it makes it harder to breathe. THe school principal had been really nice about handling the major trouble makers.
dh is out somewhere near the north and the company has been truly awesome with the fact that I may need him home at any time. Other than all is been ok. hope to be able to chat with you all very soon.

Howdy! I have survived Ike! Man what a long two weeks! Thank goodness I stocked up on dry and canned foods before the storm. We ended up camping out in our front yard which the kids truly thought was cool. I have an above ground pool which I had filled half way, so I had water for toilets, doing dishes, and washing hair after boiling and cooling down. It was something I will never forget. My hubby was able to come home to help out and my dad sent me money for generators to help get through. We have lights since Sunday but with cleaning up this is the first time being online. My water company was purely awesome though. THey put our water on generators so for parts of  the day I did get good water from the sink.  I am working at the school now and I feel like life is comeing back to normal. I can't wait to be able to read more of the blogs! I missed you all!

It has been a hectic few days. I have stocked up on water. I have stocked up on canned food. I have put metal on my windows. I have listened to people who don't know anything tell e I am over reacting and then holler they are a storm watcher. I have calmed children down. I have gotten doggies taken care of. And the best thing I have been staying hooked to myfoxhoustonlive.com for all the  up to date info. If you haven't been on the chat you can get a lot of info. I have taken and posted some pics of the weather here in Cleveland. I will post more when I take more. I hope everyone stays safe.

Thank you Fox for keeping us updated.
