Polyamorous

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS????? Well the official definition is: [poly, meaning many or several] and Latin amor [love]) is the practice, desire, or acceptance of having more than one intimate relationship at a time with the knowledge and consent of everyone involved.

I looked up one of the guys that I used to wrestle with and in his religous prefrence it says: Polyamorous. Ok so I know that I'm not that freakin old or closed minded, one of my best friends is Polyamorous, but I don't think I've ever seen it so plainly out there. Is that bad? I just think that stuff is private, not so private for close friends, but private like not on the internet private. I don't know maybe I'm old fashion, and maybe I had to look up the freakin word and the fact that I didn't know pissed me off? Either way, it was odd for a Saturday night here :)

MMA

Mixed Martial Arts, found a place that the kids are going to join. Starting next week. Chase will do Karate, Will - wrestling (grappling) of coarse! Mia - kick boxing, Angela - kick boxing and Hunter will wrestle as soon as he is old enough, but William is practicing with him, he is picking up what he can for a little guy :)

Saturday Sayings

Natika posted this on her facebook and I love it:

“I hope some animal never bores a hole in my head and lays its eggs in my brain, because later you might think you're having a good idea but it's just eggs hatching.” -Jack Handy

Tech Savy???

The boys are going camping this weekend at Hawk Mountain. Normally I'm pretty excited when they go on this stuff, one I think its great for them, and two they are off the damn computers, and all technology at that. It just messes with their little minds. But this one they get to bring their electronics with them! What kinda crap is that? Its like Boy scouts isn't pure anymore, they have succumb to the worlds desires. I wish we weren't so technically advanced, I say this as I blog :( Hypocrite! Its just different when your kids are involved, in 50 years and I'm long dead and gone, people will be socially inept even more so than they are today.

Pay To Play

Pay to play is a plan that has been proposed to our School Board instead of getting rid of middle school sports all together. $150 for the first sport, $75.00 for the 2nd, and a cap of $500 a year. It sounds like a lot of money especially for us, with 5 kids believe me I've thought about what I would rather put them in, band (which is not being cut) or basketball, wrestling, track. But its really worth it. I believe that a well rounded student is not just economics and history, but band, chorus and athletics. How many times have people written a team player on their resumes? If there's no Team then what??? Cutting the middle school athletics is going to destroy high school athletics, will have more kids with time on their idle hands, and we take some wonderful opportunities away from our children. How can you have Major League Baseball if you don't have feeder teams? 7 million dollar deficit!! S-E-V-E-N...yeah, they cut kindergarten from full day to half, are planning on letting go of 50 out of 89 aids, not rehire one of the janitors, and get rid of middle school sports. Its nuts, OK the kindergarten thing, I get, I don't agree with it but I understand it, if your kid has an IEP then they will still have full day, but if they don't only half day. And that's not even accounting for 50% of the budget! 66% is in contracts that they can't discuss. The economy isn't just hitting some people, even if you don't feel the pinch so hard at home, your kids are going to feel it in some way. I just didn't realize it would be so soon, and so close to home. Pray they vote Yes to Pay To Play

Luvs Suck

hahahaha you thought I was going to say Love, not Luvs........huhhhh???? Well I'm not talking about that I'm talking about the brand, the Luvs Brand of diapers. I am so old now that I blog about diapers right? Ok so we bought Luvs instead of Huggies, and rightly so they are cheaper, but you get what you pay for. We will now pay the extra and will always advise to pay extra and to use Huggies. Luvs is paper thin, and who really wants to be holding your son on their hip in the middle of a gym an hour away from your house and feel the warmth from his pee......yeah so Stick with Huggies, so thick, so dependable, so no Luvs!
