Syd and Bec went to Maurisha's house for the weekend. She lives in South Sacramento... not the BEST neighborhood (but then, not the worst, either) Maurisha spent last weekend with us, so they figured Syd should come this weekend, and I guess Bec got invited too. I don't know if Shabree just wasn't invited, didn't want to go spend the weekend, or what. Shabree doesn't really care to sleep at other people's houses, she'd rather be with us, which is fine with me.

I changed the settings on the notes so you can leave an anonymous note without having to go through any hoops or hurdles, let me know one way or another if it works or not. Hopefully I don't get spammed as a result. Some people just have NO class whatsoever, but I know I need to make it easy for people to leave notes, otherwise I am not going to get any.

We joined Netflix, and have over 400 movies in the queue, lol. I added over 300 of them by myself. I am hoping basically to have a movie or tv show a day to watch. It's 17 dollars a month, which if we do watch one disc a day, will be half of what RedBox is. I guess we'll see how it works out. One nice thing is the movies come to us, and of course, we can keep them as long as we want, and the mailbox is across the block, so it's a nice close walk to return the movies. No having to worry about having them back by 9. Plus, I put a bunch of old Disney movies in the queue like The Love Bug, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Sleeping Beauty... stuff I can't get from RedBox. And I also queued up the last few seasons of The Dead Zone, all the seasons of Stargate SG1, and all seasons of The Simpsons, more stuff I can't get from RedBox, and don't want to pay to own. Next week we have High School Musical 3 and Prince Caspian coming... the girls are looking forward to those! I'll have to get Sydni to finish up her homework early.
Speaking of Syd, not sure if I mentioned, but she's been put on Ritalin, and probably has ADHD, not just ADD, but she's making herself concentrate even if we forget to bring her the afternoon dose, which right now we're supposed to be doing, because we have to have a note from the doctor for the school to do it.
Becca will probably NOT pass 7th grade. It's unclear whether or not she has enough credits, or with summer school could come up with enough credits, but right now she's flunking Algebra and Humanities, and has Cs in Art and P.E. I do NOT know how a kid can get a C in P.E. and you'd think since Art is her favorite subject, she'd have an A in it...
If she doesn't pass on to the next grade, she will be home schooled next year. She doesn't want to be home schooled, so hopefully it's incentive enough for her to get herself in gear... though I somehow have my doubts. Becca doesn't really believe that she has to study for tests, doesn't do a really great job on her homework, and basically does the least amount of work she ever has to do, and of course, this all adds up to her flunking. With her cavilier attitude, and her snottiness towards me especially, I have honestly about had it with her.

Well, my mind is wandering, dinner is about ready, and I'm tired of writing, so I'm going to post this. I'm not sure where the camera is exactly, and don't have any layouts for you, so no pictures right now... maybe later. Sorry for the number of days between posts.

  1. I totally love Bedknobs and broomsticks.. I haven't seen it in years, but was a favorite of mine when I was a child. I own Prince Caspian, it's good, a bit slow. Most of the action is towards the end of the movie. The first one was defiantly better. But since I own the first I wanted to Own the second one too.

    I bought Beverly Hills Chihuahua's tonight, it was a really cute movie. Made me laugh and giggle a few times.. Johnny even watched it with me. (All the barking grabbed his attention) LOL
