I have not had time to come in here as of late and I am sorry to all the people who have come in and commented all my odd things. I am site Director for our park district in the Extended Time/Child care at our public school across the street and to put it mildly......the start of the year has been very stressful with school office not taking proper security precautions. To make a long story short.....the office did not get a full name when someone dropped off clothes for another child by the same name as my daughter. My daughter is the only Rhiannon in the school but, there is another that is spelled differently in our Kindergarten E.T. Program  who is bussed to a different school. Anyway my daughter came to ET wearing different clothes and come to find out these other clothes were dropped off for the other Riannon and the office didn't get proper info and took my daughter out of class and made her change clothes. My daughter is 7 and does as she is told.....needless to say I was almost in tears thinking she could have been kidnapped if she were to walk home that day. I have made a big stink with the principal who knew nothing of this mishap and will be talking to the superintendent about it. The office ladies will not forget this. There are so many reasons why this was wrong I can't even discribe them all. If I did this with ET I would be fired. Wrong clothes wrong child=allergic reaction, wrong lunch wrong child = allergic reaction, wrong clothes wrong child= child walks home and is spotted and kidnapped. The list could go on and on. Maybe I was overreacting but I don't think so. To be so mentally distraught thinking my child could have been kidnapped about did me in for the week and this was the first full day school for the year. Needless to say the office ladies have their knickers in a twist now. FINE. By the time I am done they will have a wedgy. LOL.

PEACE and happy hauntings! Thanks for listening to ramble about nothing paranormal at all.

I am going to write a non paranormal blog today to start with. See I used to write paranormal blogs every day at my other blog. http://www.amandamagick.bravejournal.com  But I haven't done any searching or brain storming lately on the subject at all. My mundane life has taken over like today for instance. Its Mothers Day and to me thats kind of important since I am one. Rhiannon is my only child though and when it was mothers day before I always felt slighted because I was just a step mother and my step daughter has been taught to not observe anything pertaining to me like birthdays and mothers days and christmas's and anything else you can think up. I guess her mother has a grudge towards me......oh well. I love my step daughter just the same and since I feel this way Mothers Day has always hurt a little. So I want to wish everyone out there a WONDERFUL MOTHERS DAY!!!!

Love Amanda

Its been a long time since I have been in here so I thought I would catch up. I have added 2 new pics that are very old at least 4 years old. I want to add that the camera was a very terrible one and I am not justifying any phenomina that might be in them other than what ever you all may see outside that fact that most of this may very well be do to the camera being a really crappy one. I do however like the effect of the multicolored dots in the dark one of my daughter. 

 This camera was the worst I have ever used. But I like the effect...sort of. What do you think? What do you see?

Heard from an old friend on Myspace today. Haven't spoken to them in like 20 years. I think he has been talking to the wrong people because is info on us is all garbled and wrong. He asked when we had come back to Illinois? hmmmm. We have lived in this state in this town even for almost 12 years. Granted there is 4 hour drive between us we have been in the same state the whole time. I really hope we can rekindle some sort of friendship between our 2 families that would be great. I he and my hubby would have a lot to talk about you know carpentry roofing solar energy and the prospects of using solar energy, maybe getting advice on remodling this old beast of a house. Anyway I am a bit excited about this whole thing and I really want to learn about alternate forms of energy...I am really into that!

My last blog post was a bit winey I know and I don't want to come off as spoiled or thinking that I am owed a Birthday. Thats not the point I was trying to make. What I was actually doing is venting and letting go of the anger I was feeling towards my hubby. Sometimes I just gotta get it out. If you want to read my last post and tell me what you think. One commenter opened my eyes to a new point of view which I greatly appreciate and got me thinking about Birthdays in general. I think our mothers should get more credit for sure for giving birth to us and raising us the best they could or we wouldn't be here at all! I know that. Anyhow I was just pondering the whole thing and yes my hubby was a real jerk but maybe I got too bent out of shape over it? Some people wouldn't put up with him at all and would have left a long time ago....me? I have seen him for all that he is and someday I just wish he could soften up and be more caring and compassionate like he used to be, if he doesn't and I die before him?.....he will know that I will be his personal poltergiest. LOL. Anyhow thats my rant for today and I am feeling a bit better now. THANKS!!!

My mom sent me a Birthday package and I got it today. It is wonderful, she sent me Yorkshire Tea which I LOVE and 2 cd's Katherine Jenkins a Welsh artist and Celine Dion Taking Chances. Also a beautiful necklace and earring set with dropping dark sparkley flowers. I would wear it today but I am dressed down in hoodie for work. She also gave me 2 little trinket boxes both are round and used to be my great Auntie Liz's. Mom was dusting them for 3 years and Uncle Derek was cleaning out her things and since Auntie Liz and my daughter Rhiannon have the same Birthday they sent them to me. Well you know whats going to happen to them?........ They will be Rhiannons later when she is much older. They are so special like a piece of Auntie Liz here with us so she can visit and watch over. I am feeling so sentimental and sad right now...these gifts were so thoughtful. I am a bit depressed right now and feel like I am being punished for my Birthday instead of celebrating. I don't expect anything ever and I don't ask for anything not even help. But sometimes Hubby acts like an ass and thinks he is justified for stupid reasons that don't really exist. He wasn't even here for my Birthday he planned a math con for the whole week....telling me the whole week on the phone we would do something like dinner or a movie this weekend. You what we did? NOTHING.....until I went out and got movies at Blockbuster and bought my own cake. DAMN it I HATE him sometimes. Yes he got me this new computer.....but what I actually needed is some caring and love maybe "you are special" or "Happy Birthday" at least. An expensive present isn't what I expect or want if I have a choice between it and some unconditional love. Yes 2 years ago I didn't get him anything for his birthday until after it like 2 or 3 days. I got him a gift when I could finally think of something while asking him everyday what he wanted. And do you know what he did? Had me return it because he didn't need it. That stabbed me like a knife and he is throwing that birthday of his in my face this weekend as to a good reason to skip mine? As if I have to earn a ???ing Birthday. As if I have to ???ing earn him treating me like he should be anyway. Nobody sees him like this except me. Its not often but its totally unexeptable. He is in a better mood now but why should have I had to go out and get the things needed to make a good day of it? I always get his cake and have the girls make him something and we eat a nice meal or whatever and I am always racking my brain trying to think what to get him. And my birthday was treated like utter shit. I am sure he didn't mean it but how dare he even think of making it that way? If we are going to skip my Birthday lets just agree on it in advance so I know its not coming. I grew up my whole life not having Birthday Parties because my mom could not be bothered. Now we have means of actually at least acknowledging them I would like at least a Happy Birthday out of his mouth and not over the phone at 10:30 at night because he was having a nice time at his Con and couldn't be bothered to call me sooner.

hmmmf. At least Rhiannon was here with me. It was just any other day but it was quiet and not irritating with him here being annoying. I was looking forward to the weekend with him here and we could at least hang out and have a nice time anyway. All we did was get into a fight about his Birthday from 2 years ago and how he was trying to blow off mine this year. I have never blown off his Birthday even when he has been in a bad mood for it and all I wanted to do was throw his cake at him. Birthdays are special to me but now I don't even want to try this year for his. But I will because that is the kind of person I am.

Sorry for letting lose. The situation is over and he is sorry and I am sorry for falling apart. I should feel better soon thanks for listening.
