- For years I read blogs and visited web sites the old fashioned way. I had heard of RSS and feeds and all that but never bothered to check it out. That is till a few weeks ago when I figured I’d give the Google Reader a try. My life has been changed. Forever. I can read three times as many blogs and message boards in half the time. Now I want all the time back that I spent clicking bookmarks and visiting sites one at a time! *sigh* If you don’t have a reader and like to read lots of blogs, get one. You won’t regret it.
- I am a horrible sister. My brother called needing help with transportation to get his daughter home. He needs some sort of Dodge Charger accessory, er.. no, that’s not what he said. He drives a truck. See, he called at a bad time to tell me his truck was acting up and he needed to give his daughter a ride home. I was in the middle of complete and total chaos. All the kids were here and they were all talking at once. I was working on paperwork that had to be done before Kayla left (Melissa is now officially a cheerleader and Kayla is her coach :)) so I told him I’d call back. The kids didn’t leave for a bit and by the time they did I totally forgot to call him back. He drove his wonky truck anyway. See? I am horrible.
As I mentioned, Melissa is now a cheerleader. She already knows several cheers as her big sister (who she totally idolizes) has taught her many and took her through cheer camp last summer. Now she’s going to be a full fledged cheerleader for a real (grade school) football team. It will give her a lot of experience because she really wants to do this through junior high and high school. Unfortunately they won’t take 6th graders into the cheer leading program at her current junior high 
So this is a head start for her. It’s amazing to see this once quiet and oh-so-shy girl come out of her shell more and more as she grows older. She’s still pretty quiet, but knows how to stand up for herself when she has to. She now has the confidence to perform cheers in front of people and it’s wonderful to see. She’s turning into a fine young lady. *sniff*- Today has been a weird day. It rained, and that’s weird since it hasn’t really rained more than sprinkles here and there for a long time. I got into a weird small argument with someone. I so don’t get people who can only see things one way and would rather label you than try to understand something that is off course of their one-track minds. I had a weird night because Jack had to go to work at midnight and didn’t get home till after 5 AM so I didn’t sleep well. It’s weird because we both slept in till late morning. Even weirder… properly the weirdest of all, the kids let us sleep in that late. The youngest boys only peeked in on us twice and stayed quiet all morning. Yeah, that was REALLY weird. We got nothing really accomplished today, and that’s weird since we always have something to do. For a weird day it was a good day, though. Even if we are both still tired from the weird night.
