Sunny Sunny Day

Oh, The Joys Of Spring Time.....

The weather in East Tennessee is Mah-velous!!!! Almost 83!!!

I am off work until Tuesday starting today @ 3pm. I have nothing planned and O.D. has ballgames Saturday morning 9-11-1. The weather is going to nice tomorrow as well so I will do laundry and get some sun. I am going to lay low for a couple of days!! I am going to do as little as possible!!! I think that is a goal that I can and will reach!!!

Past few Days........

This weekend O.D. had a basketball tourney @ Carson Newman College. She plays for the East TN Air 11U. They came in first place and beat each team by at least 30 points. So, my weekend was spent in Jefferson City, TN. She did well and got to play a lot!! Mommy was proud!

Monday was boring, didn't feel well, went to bed EARLY..
Today was pretty good.....laughed a lot with friends @ work, went out to eat, had a margarita, been drinking beer since.......
Peace at last!!!!!

Educational Budgets Cuts....WTF????

Our county school board is several million in the red.

Tonight there is a huge board meeting to start hashing things out on what to cut..."a working session".

We have heard a lot of rumors.....but today some are ringing true. Teaching assistants, nurses, and other important educators could lose their jobs. We could lose 6 nurses countywide. Most of our schools are at least 15 minutes from local hospital and towns.....that means a 15 min. trip for an ambulance to even arrive at the school.

WHAT ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN??????

I have turned in my thoughts and concerns to our principal. I wonder if I should send them to the Director of Schools?? Should I? Would he listen or even care?? We vote in billions and billions of dollars for parks, roads and other projects?? What about the education of American children??

THE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA IS STARTING NOW IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEMS
