I forgot to write yesterday. Ken came home from work around 9. He is sick. He has the flu or cold. I worked in the yard yesterday and today and my back is killing me. I need to work in the bed in front and get some azaleas. I will work on that tomorrow. Oh I discovered domino`s in the zone. It is fun and you can play aginst other people. I win about half my games I guess. I have no idea what I am going to fix for dinner. I just got back from rescuing Krystal, Summer and Becky. Krystal had a flat at 820 and I-30. Ok I need to get busy.

Been To Georgia On A Fast Train
by Billy Joe Shaver


On a rainy Wednesday morning that's the way that I was born in
That old sharecropper's one room country shack
They said my mommie left me the day before she had me
Said she hit the road and never once looked back
And I just like to mention my grandma's old age pension
Is the reason why I'm standing here today
I got all my country learning a milking and a churning
Picking cotton raisin' hell and baling hay
I been to Georgia on a fast train honey I wouldn't born no yesterday
I got a good Christian raisin' and an eight grade education
Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
[ piano ]
Now sweet Carolina I don't think I'll ever find
Another woman put together like you are
I like your wiggle in your walking and your big city talking
And your brand new shiny Plymouth ragtop car
Well it's hurry up and wait in this land of give and take
It seems like haste it makes for waste everytime
I declare to my soul when you hear those ages roll
You better know I'm gonna get my share of mine
I been to Georgia on a fast train...
[ guitar - harmonica ]
I been to Georgia on a fast train...
There ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way

I almost didn`t blog today but I am making myself before I go to bed. I had strange dreams last night. I dreamed I was walking around on stilts. I was good on them too. I was walking up stairs and all over. I also dreamed I was driving to Austin but I didn`t make it I turned around and came back. I also dreamed I was at bike show and Ken and I got locked in this room and I had to crawl out a window. Then at the end of my dream I was trying to drive home and the street was all torn up and I couldn`t drive down our street.
We played Dominos last night and Sue and I won.
Well I am going to go to bed now.

Last night I had more wild dreams! This one I was in Fort Worth and Greg and Tommy were in elementary school. I went to the school for a field day. I was barefooted and I had something in my foot. I pulled it out and it was a long piece of plastic. Greg and I were also doing this board game and you had to put the national bird on the right country. Right as we got them all on I was looking at the answers on the side of the board when the wind blew all pieces off. We had to go into a lot next door that was real weedy and overgrown and look for them. After the field day I was leaving and couldn`t find my car but I found a bike so I was leaving on it. I got lost though and was riding through TCU. I almost got hit by a firetruck. Then i took the bike down some steps and through a dorm. I was riding down the street and then i almost got on the freeway but instead rode down the acess street. It went down a hill then up and dead ended and i almost ran into a wall. I turned around and went down the hill again and the handle bars broke so I was walking again. It was a dirt rode then with shacks around and a bunch of guys. It was like a slum you see in Mexico or somewhere. The were cicling around me and I was scared. I told one guy I was 50 and to leave me alone. I also had a dog with me. I had a cell phone but it was inflatable and it had a hole in it and so I couldn`t get it to work. I walked by a car with a couple prostitutes in it. Then I walked up this ramp and sat in an abandoned truck bed with some people. I kept trying to get the phone to work but the only person I could call was my mom and knew she would never find me. Then I woke up.
I had a good day. I worked in my flowerbeds raking leaves and weeding. I took Danny bowling and he won both games. He rolled a 108 and 106. I watched Lost and played spades.

I`ve been working in the yard the last couple days since we got the rain. Alot of bulbs are coming up. I have a few daffodils about to bloom. I can`t wait until I can plant some flowers. I am afraid to plant much now because it will freeze some more I`m sure. We still need more rain too. I saw another Monarch butterfly today and a bee on a dandilion.

Last night I had a crazy dream. I dreamed I was in St Louis. I ws driving a Toyota I think. I was at a park with a bunch of kids and a couple teachers. I left the group and went to the gift store. I found a cute pug planter for only $5.00 but I had to go back to my car to get the money. When I was walking back to the car some guy started filming me and said I agreed to do some documentary. I said I didn`t and was trying to get away from him. I got in my car and hit the car parked next to me but I just left. I couldn`t find the group of kids either and I had a kid in the group. A 5 year old girl I think. I went to toys`r`us because the group started out from there, but they didn`t know where my kid was. Then I went to my hotel where I was staying and there were a bunch of people from the film company there. The documentary was about weman that have affairs with married men. Some woman was yelling at me asking me why I did that. I kept showing her my wedding ring and yelling I`ve been married 24 years, can you say 24? Then she and I got in a fight. Also in part of the dream I was pushing a grocery basket full of papers I wanted to recycle. I was on a big highway. It was a rather disturbing dream. I lost the kid, got in a fight , wrecked a car and didn`t get the cool pug planter. Oh well thank god it was just a dream.

Thank God it is raining. It is so wonderful. It hasn`t rained in ages. It has been a pretty quiet weekend. I went to the Fragile X support group yesterday. It had a small turnout but it was good. We played dominos last night. I played spades after that for a while.
I cut Dannys hair today and shaved him and cut his nails. He looks much better. I`ve been doing laundry too. Thats about all that is going on. Ken is watching football. Well I have to put my sheets in the dryer and play some more spades.

I woke up at 6 as always but I didn`t go back to bed when Danny left because I had a dermatologist appointment. She gave me a different antibiotic that hopefully won`t upset my stomache. I also bought some expensive cleanser/mask. Then I bought some new makeup that has high spf. Karen came for in home training. I bitched about the APE teacher. I wrote Anglea a note saying I want a conference with the APE teacher. I`m mad Danny wasn`t invited to play volleyball or baseball for special olympics. He better be next year. Spring games will be coming up and I want to make sure he gets enter in the right events.
I broke my dang glasses tonight and so I called Gay and made an appointment to get my eyes tested tomorrow. I have to get a new pair. I might get the cateye glasses I saw when Tommy was getting his new glasses.
Danny fell asleep after Karen left and he wouldn`t get up for bowling. He really was pooped. Oh well he goes bowling with Frankie tomorrow.

Ken on his new bike"Baby"

I know I haven`t writen in days. I should have never made my new years resolution to blog more. That pretty much guarenteed I would write less. This weekend was fairly uneventful. I did go to Wade`d birthday party yesterday but just stayed for about an hour because Danny didn`t want to go. I made him the cookies he wanted. Ken rode his motorcycle almost all day Saturday. He loves that motorcycle. I tease him about it. I have named it Baby. I`ll post a pic later. I need to take a shower and go to the store. Dannys schedule is all messed up. He is sleeping during the day and up all night. I guess I will try to keep up all day. Jeez I just remembered Frankie is coming at 11:00 I need to get Danny ready. I better go.

I can`t believe I haven`t written since Sunday. Ken picked up his bike Monday. It`s very pretty. He is thrilled with it. I rode with him to pick up his truck. The wind gave me an ear ache. I think I will use ear plugs next time I ride on it.Danny stayed home Monday. Frankie didn`t come so it was a very slow day. I washed the dogs Monday and took them to the vet Tuesday. Ernie has a scratch on his eye, ear mites, skin infection on his face and some gum troubles. His anal glands were a mess too. He has pills, eye and ear medicine and face medicine. I also have to put breath freshener in thier food. Cookie has to have her ears and face treated.
I took Danny bowling last night and he did real well his first game. He rolled a 125. His second game was just an 84. He loves bowling. I may sign him up with another league too.

I went to Stage West today and saw johnny Guitar the musical. It was really good. Extremely campy and not at all like the movie. well maybe somewhat like the movie but it was funny as hell. I went alone of course. While I was gone Ken bought a Harley, he is in hog heaven hehe. He is going to try and pick it Monday. His birthday is Sunday, now I guess it is after midnight. We played domino`s tonight with Mike and Sue and Jacob came along too. Okay its late I`m going to bed.

I`m about to go to bed but wanted to write my dream from last night. I dreamed someone broke in the house and I was in bed. I scared them off because I said my dogs would get them or my gun would. Then I tried to turn the lights on and the power was off. I had to go in the garage and throw all the switches. There was more but I don`t remember.
Ken went and looked at harleys today. I expect he will have one soon.

Here in my city( and most of the states) parents fought to close the special needs schools and to have their children educated in neighborhood schools. In therory its great. I at one time fought tooth and nail for full inclusion for my son. It was a disaster as the teachers were not supportive of it. My son had a one on one aide but it did not work. He was not toilet trained and it was a huge issue at school. I home schooled him for 4 years. Finally got him toilet trained and sent him back to school. He was placed in a very small autistic class. It was a much better placement for him. He does so much better in very small classes with as few class changes as possible. I guess we all have to decide whats best for our kids and try to get the services they need. It isn`t easy to know whats right especially when they are young and you don`t know what they will be able to do as they get older. As far as school goes I decided that the teachers wanted to be the experts and instead of bucking the system I`d kill them with kindness. I go to all school functions and volunteer at school. I drop in and see how things are going. I write notes daily and expect to get responses and I do. This year has been one of the best so far.

I didn`t write yesterday. I guess I used up all my writing time writing a letter to the fragile x group. I took down most of the Christmas decorations yesterday. I still need to take the tree down. I still want to get some bubble lights. I may go out and see if I can find some.
Ken is bidding on a harley on ebay. He really has the hots for a harley and I think he would like to get for his birthday. He better hurry his birthday is next Monday. Gives me an excuse to eat cake.
Greg is going to Iowa next week to get Christine`s mom`s dodge dakota. They are going to drive the caprice.
I think Tommy may have a girl in his room. Her car is out front. Maybe she just left it here but I don`t know. I guess time will tell.

They put in the new garage door today. It`s a single door instead of the two we had. It sure is easier to park the caddy. The guy that installed has a kid in special ed too. He saw Danny get off the bus so he knew Danny was in special ed. He seemed real nice. He said he takes his son to work with him sometimes and then they go eat at Cici`s pizza. Anyway I like the door and the automatic opener. Wohoo we are almost 21`st century. I guess if we got an answering machine we would be.
I was surfing the web and found Tommy`s name is back on the Fulton county web site damnit. Axel just called and I think he asked for either Stuffy or Stumpy, I`ll have to ask Tommy about that. I was hoping they had dropped those charges.
Greg called and said he is going to buy Christine`s moms dodge dakota. Only catch is it`s in Iowa. He also wants to use the caprice for a month until he goes and gets his car. Grrrr it better be a good car. ken is at walmart, Tommy is at Sue`s and Danny went to bed after school.

New garage door , Sammy coming to see what I am doing
