Freedom Writers

Have you watched the movie Freedom Writers? I have, many times, and I LOVE it. I am now reading the book. I Love it too.

It really makes me think that I really should put my feelings, my life, my thoughts all down. Whether it be here or in a journal of my own. I guess should do that. I'll start now...

I am Liz. I am 32 years old. I have a wonderful husband, and a bunch of kids. lol I try to be a good mother and wife. I do the best that I can.

I was born and raised in California. My mom is a wonderful person. She is a single parent. My mom and dad divorced when I was just 6 months old. She worked very hard to support me.

Dad is a "Disneyland Dad". He would take me camping, on trips to Disneyland and Hawaii. He was alot of fun. He got remarried and his new wife had a son. He was my brother. We had a ton of fun together getting into trouble, playing gi joes, and watching cartoons. We used to jump off the two story roof and into the pool then running to the hot tub. We were weird I think. lol We played in pavement while it was still warm, messing it up.

More later...

I'm about ready to give up!

Ok this is just blah blah blah but I am really getting frustrated and gggrrrrr!

So you all know that I am heavily involved with the local Relay For Life right? If not let me know and I will give you the full run down.

I have only gotten $20 in donations for my team. One other team member has done like $250 and my other team member has done $0. That is just not acceptable! Need to figure out how to get those numbers up!

Second I can not get my Team Captains to get on the ball and turn their paper work in so I can get the T-Shirt order in by tomorrow! It has to be in or I won't get the shirts in time. There is a time that has not even registared yet and I can't get ahold of them and I need their info too.

I just don't know what to do! I know part is my fault because I haven't hounded them the way I normally do but come on!

Any who, I'm done for now. Thanks for reading!

Today has been a day! Last night Team Captain meeting went well. Today I have to start the t-shirt order and get it in by tomorrow. It's gonna be fun! Next meeting is on the 22nd. We are down to 28 days till relay!

We had Sammy's Early Head Start home visitor come today. We made paper bag puppets. I can't believe how well he can cut with sissors now! She also did an ELAP. He is around the 36 month marker! He is only 28 months old! His language is up and he can do so many things that he wasn't able to do just a few months ago. I am such a proud mommy! We only have 8 months left of Early Head Start then we transition him to Head Start. We sure are going to miss her!

Yesterday we went to a social for Early Head Start and Sammy had a great time! We played out side and had lunch. Oh Yeah I am now on the Policy Council with them too. I am the secretary and tresurer. Gonna be a fun thing for me to do.

I don't really know what I'm gonna do for the rest of today. I'm not feeling in an up mood and would rather sit here and do nothing. But I have laundry to do and who knows what else.

Have a great day!
