SKOOL

I’m not sure how many people out there read my blog. But I have to brag. I also have to explain why i haven't been posting like I normally do. I am now a college student.  I started a few weeks ago and so far I have perfect grades in each class I am taking. I only take two courses. I am taking GEN/105 and Eng/101. I love both classes. Its all online and  very convenient for me to do. Now mind you it takes a lot of hard work and dedication, plus a lot of motivation to make yourself do your assignments. But So far its been easy. I am going in elementary education. I have two essays that will be due in about 7 weeks. One is a survival guide to college and one is an expository essay on anorexia nervosa. I am brainstorming right now for both. I hope I can do this lol.

   Wayne has been very supportive and for this i am thankful. He is so proud of me and encourages me to do my best. I hope I make him proud. :)

my autobiography

I was born on a cold December day in 1971, the thirteenth to be exact. My mom

says I came into this world running and I haven’t stopped yet. I was named after my two

grandmothers. My grandmothers were named Clara Etta and Mary Lou. So my mom’s

choices were Clara Lou or Mary Etta. I thank the good Lord that my dad told her he

liked Mary Etta. I just couldn’t have lived with Clara Lou. When I was born my sister

who was 20 months old thought I was her baby doll. Kami loved to dress me up and put

me in her baby dolls carriage. Four years later my mom brought home my little brother.

My sister and I were always plotting ways to send him back from where ever he came

from.

So now as you know my name is Mary. My parents got special permission for me to

start Kindergarten when I was only four years old. I loved school. I knew that one day I

wanted to be a teacher. Every chance I got I was playing school. I made my older sister

and my younger brother my pupils. So when school let out in the summer they knew

that it truly wasn’t over. I gave assignments and homework and expected it to be done

or there were consequences.

My dad is a minister. This meant we moved around a lot. During my junior high

years of school we moved three times. This meant I had to make new friends a lot. It

was very hard on me. I hated moving, but made a lot of friends in the process. Some of

these friendships are still there today, while others are just fond memories of the past.

As hard as the moving around was, I know it has molded me into the person I am today.

In October of 1988 I met my future husband. I was a junior in high school and we

were set up on a blind date. Wayne was the cutest boy I had ever seen. Even with his

mullet. I was just plain awestruck with his looks and his talents. He plays the guitar. Now

what 16 year old girl could resist a guitar playing, mullet wearing senior? We got

married in June of 1990. He, to this day is still the love of my life. We eventually

adopted two children, Thomas and Makayla, after ten years of infertility. Then six

months later after adopting I found out I was expecting. Jacob was our miracle baby. I

love all three of my kids and would do anything for them, as they are the reason I am

going back to school.

So, as you can see I have three wonderful reasons to better myself and make a

future that will insure the best for my family. I plan on being through with my schooling in

four years so that when my oldest starts college I will have the resources to help him

and the finances to put him through school with no problems. I hope you have enjoyed

reading my life story as much as I have enjoyed writing it for you.

Police: Ohio woman killed over Easter attire

Leg-baring shorts cause confrontation leading to 19-year-old's death

 

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Police in Ohio say a woman shot her cousin to death during an argument that started because one woman didn't think the other was dressed properly for Easter dinner.

Columbus police Officer Jean Holmes said in court Tuesday that the leg-baring shorts worn by 19-year-old Danielle Pickens sparked a verbal and physical confrontation with 42-year-old Evelyn Burgess on Sunday at Burgess' home.

Police say Pickens walked outside to leave and Burgess shot her in the head with a handgun. Pickens died at a hospital early Monday.

Family Feuds

Why do families Fight? This past week I witnessed a family a respectable family in the midst of the worst family feud I have ever seen.  It was a local preacher and his kids. The Sister who is my age was fighting with her mother and father and Brother. It start many months ago and made the daughter leave the church that her and her family attended. Her kids and hubby and mother in law all left. I don’t really know what started it all but I have to ask my self this question? Is it really that serious? It escalated at the beginning of last week. So bad the daughter confronted the mother at their work place.(They happen to work at the same place) They both left work and the daughter went home and got a gun and pulled it on her father. What would make a daughter do this?  What could a dad that was so bad that the daughter would pull a gun on her father and threaten to kill him then herself? I can think of only one thing that would make me do that? If my children where getting hurt. And I just don't see this with this man of God.

       So fast forward to today. Today started out like every Sunday morning.  WE got dressed Wayne cooked a lovely breakfast and we went to church. Had a wonderful service. But before church started, My niece who is 18 years old was helping sing on the stage had a skirt on that came mid thigh… A good 3 inches or more above the knee and then had a split up the but too were you could see her BUTT . I was appalled. My husband has to stand behind her and play his guitar. So I mentioned it to my pastors wife(WHO HAPPENS TO BE MY MOM) she didn't know what to do . I figured she would say something to her .I mean it is her place.

Some how my brother who is raising this girl(she is my brothers wife STEP SISTER) (NO RELATION)  heard about my conversation to my mom and he exploded on me at my parents house after church. He just wouldn't stop. He was so mad that i said something about the girls skirt to mom.  He tore into me so bad . I had enough and told him that i didn't appreciate her wearing that on the platform in front of my husband to show her butt off.  YOu could see her ASS. it was very very inappropriate.

    I am  giving the watered down version here. MY brother kept on and kept on. ALL the time mom was looking at me telling me to shut up!!!! My brother was the one talking. Except for my one blurt about her butt showing. over and over again her went in his rant. Finally Wayne jumped up and told Isaac to shut up and we would just go home. I was in tears mom was in tears over her Easter Dinner being ruined. I cam home and balled my eyes out .till my sister came up and brought us lunch and let me cry on her shoulder. She could not believe our brother acted the way he did to me. But the sad thing is this is not the first time he has done this to me. If something at church goes wrong he usually blames me . HE is the music director and i do the over head( well I quit today lol)  if anything goes wrong from the sound system to the lighting in the church it is my fault and I get the brunt of it.

   So yeah today I could understand how a sisted could get a gun and kill her brother lol. Just as a daughter could get a gun and kill her dad. In the heat of the moment we could all do things we never thought we would.  No I didn't get a gun i didn't threaten but i can understand a woman pmsing and getting treated like this as I was am am pmsing and wanting to get a gun and kill the person doing the offending. lol CAN I GET AN AMEN?
