ticket

i hate traffic tickets, well who doesn't?! this morning after picking up bobby and tarra i stopped at a red light. technically it is only a two lane road but by the traffic light there is a lane to turn right. now there is a bus next to me, a car across the intersection waiting to go straight and one car coming from the left but still a ways away, no one is behind me. so i turn right. then i see a cop with his lights on. he asks me if my signals work. i say yes, and he asks whey i didn't use them. i had no good answer. does everyone use their signals everytime they turn? i think not. so anywho, i got a ticket for failure to use signal. yes, that is actual traffic violation. you know, i use my signals, on the highway or in heavy traffic, whenever the situation calls for it. the ticket is for $120 and here is the kicker i also will get two points on my license. that's right people two points. i am fighting this ticket! i have never done that before but this ticket is just a little excessive.so to the city or romulus and to the romulus policeofficer who gave me the ticket...SUCK IT!

what a beautiful weekend, even though we got a little rain. holly, matty and gordy got to play outside and i put out my metal flowerboxes. today we took a nature walk. jay said i was walking to fast but i like the pace i was at and i kept going. on our way back to the car we stopped and looked through an old cementary here in wayne. the oldest person we found was born in the 1700's. most everyone buried in this cementary were born and died in the 1800's. a lot of children are buried here. what is weird about these old grave markers is that they had their age and how many months and a day they were when they died. one of the last gravestones we looked at was for a guy named william houston. it read that he was with co. D 24 Mich and died in gettysburg. so i told jay lets remember his information and see if we can google him and maybe we can find a picture of him. well, i googled him and found a drawing of him. in fact the city of wayne paid to have a mural painted on the side our our old movie theather a few years back and his face is on it. how weird out of all those graves, we pick his and find out that he is part of this mural. next saturday we are making plans to go to the wayne histroical muesum to see if we can find anything else about his young man. he was only 21 years old when he died.

sleep

last night i woke up at 3:30 a.m. so like any normal person i got up and spent two hours on the computer. going to the usual places like fb, myspace, usmagazine, ew, eonline, you know all the important places. i was able to chat with a friend online so all was not lost. i then played a game online for awhile. when i got tired of that i made andrew's lunch and got holly's lunch money together. by this time jay was up for work. i layed back down about 6:15 and fell asleep. i woke up at 7:15, the time i should be leaving to take the kids to school. so yeah, they were late today. sleeping for me has been a problem lately. i can be dog tired and still sleep will not come or i can't stay asleep. i have gone back in forth in my mind about sleeping medication but i'm already on one medication, i don't want to be a medicine cabinet.
that's all folks,

first blog

so this is my first blog. right off the bat i just want everyone to know is that i don't use capital letters. it slows my typing down. i have been following a few of my friend's blogs. what i like about their blogs is that at times they write about the simple things of life (like painting a room or their little guy eating). it is the everyday things that i find most interesting.
i don't know what i will be blogging about. sometimes i think i lead a very dull life. sometimes i lay in bed at night and think did i just live through a day. then i think, "i just wasted a day God has made." Then i think how can i do that? next thing i know i am awake for another day and hopefully i won't waste it.
until next time,
