I can’t believe there are only 10 more days of school left.  I remember when I was a kid and I’m pretty sure the school year was much longer than it is now.  Or that’s the way it seemed then anyway.  It’s true, as you get older, the days, months and years go by much faster.  There is a line in the movie “My hero’s have always been cowboys” in which Ben Johnson asks his son ‘You know what’s the worst part about getting old?’  His son asks what and Ben Johnson says ‘Getting old’.  I agree totally.  No I’m not that old but time is sure in a hurry for me to get there it seems.  Much more of a hurry than I am.  Having 6 grandchildren will help you to feel that way too.  Old that is.  Well actually they make me feel blessed because they help keep you young at the same time.  I just love having them around and then sending them home.  It’s the best of both worlds. 

   I am a penny pincher from way back.  I love the deals you get on Black Friday but absolutely hate the crowds.  Oh sure you can get what they want you to get but at black friday, I have found a much better way to get the deals you want now.  Best of all, with this site you don’t have to leave your home, you save a bunch on gas right there, you can start looking now for what you want and purchase the items now while they are still in stock.  What could be better?

  There is a long list of just about any store you shop at, a link for the black Friday ads, and a link for discount codes.  That way you don’t have to guess what the discount really is.  I have found many hard to find items as great prices and I’m already shopping.  I use it all the time and am in the process of finding birthday presents for my two grandsons that have a birthday around the corner too.  I’ll be shopping Game stop for TC and Toys R Us for ES.  I can even shop The Bass Pro Shops for my husband too.  You gotta check this site out.  You won’t be disappointed.

  I just don’t understand all of this.  I get sick on my stomach for absolutely no reason, look into the toilet, then as fast as it hit me, it’s gone.  If I didn’t know better, I’d say I was pregnant but that’s not possible anymore.  I don’t know if it has anything to do with the allergic reactions I’ve been having or if it’s an after affect of the reactions.  I just wish the specialist would finally get the darn blood tests back.  It’s been almost 6 weeks since they did it and still nothing.  Basically my life is still on hold wondering what I’m reacting to, when I’m going to run into it again not knowing what it is and if it’s something controllable (it sure isn’t totally controllable yet) or something curable.  The waiting is the hardest part followed closely behind by the not knowing what the problem is.  If I don’t know something soon, I’ll lose my job because of not being able to fully do my job and I love my job.  Sometimes it just seems like life isn’t fair but I’m old enough to know that life isn’t fair.  I just need to quit my whining and it will all work out the way it’s supposed to.

   I am new to blogging and thank a very special friend for introducing me to it.  It’s a great way to get things off your chest, voice my opinion, and it has become kinda like having a buddy there when you need them to listen.  I have met several new ‘blog’ buddies in the process too.  My best friend in the world since 4th grade told me about PayPerPost.  They have a very high word of mouth ethics when it comes to the blogger and the advertisers you sign up to be paid to write a blog for do too.  I liked that so I signed up.

   See, my girlfriend knew I was having trouble making ends meet since I developed a nasty allergy to something and the doctors still don’t know to what.  I’m now I’m having to go to specialists and have tests every time I turn around it feels like.  I’m not able to do part of my job because of the severity of the reactions I have had so my income dropped drastically.   PayPerPost was a blessing I didn’t expect and that’s the best kind.  I always save for Christmas and Summer Vacation.  I had to dip pretty far into those savings after I ended up in the emergency room unable to breathe because of a severe reaction twice in one day.  It was beginning to look like our summer vacation was going to be pitching a tent in the back yard instead of going to the beach for a week like we had planned.  Thanks to PayPerPost, I was able to replace what I had to take out of my Summer Vacation savings and am now working on replacing what I had to take out of the Christmas account.

   I have really learned a great deal about things I wouldn’t have even thought about looking into if I hadn’t been checking out the sites that made offers to be paid if I wrote a blog about their site.   I thought I knew more about credit cards than I did once I wrote a blog for credit cards.  Another thing about PayPerPost is it’s almost like going on a treasure hunt too.  You never quite know what you’re going to find (in the form of offers) or what you’re going to learn either.  Thank you so much girlfriend and thank you PayPerPost.

   Well the EOG’s or end of grade testing is over at work now.  Now comes the hard part of my job as an ISS teacher.  You see, the kids basically feel that school is over and are itching for it to be out.  That makes for a lot of kids being sent to ISS (In School Suspension) because of making poor choices.  Boys are grumbling between themselves, girls are skipping classes and just about any other things you can imagine.  In fact, today was the first time I have ever seen the OSS (out of school suspension) list longer than the ISS list.  I am so glad my son is a good kid.  Well he is so far anyway but he’s only 12 so you know what that means, the worst is yet to come maybe.  I sure hope not.  His two oldest brothers were heck on wheels when they hit 17 so when the third one was 16, I told him he could be 16 or he could be 18 but he wasn’t going to be 17.  He said he would just be 18 for 2 years.  I told him he could be 16 for 2 years.  Luckily he was and still is a really good kid (even if he is 28 now) so there’s hope for the last one!!!!!!
