And You Thought Your Family Was Crazy…

LAURENS COUNTY, S,C. — A woman who says she had no connection to a funeral danced in front of the service, waved a wand over the casket, opened it and touched the deceased man and then threw the flowers from the casket at the family, deputies said.

Laurens County deputies responded to reports of a disturbance at the Church of God in Gray Court on Tuesday. Those attending the funeral said that the woman had joined the procession. They said once they were seated inside the church, the woman then danced in front of them near the casket. They said after she waved the wand over the casket and had touched the deceased man, she hit him in the head with the wand.

The family said after the woman threw the flowers from the top of the casket at them, she drove off in a burgundy Toyota with North Carolina plates.

Deputies pulled the vehicle over on Interstate 385. They asked the driver, 25-year-old Nicole Marie-Loretta Leonard, about the funeral, and they said she admitted to doing everything the witnesses in church said she did.

Deputies said Leonard told them she behaved the way she did because she “felt it was the right thing to do at the time.” She said she was driving through the area from North Carolina and did not know anyone at the church.

Leonard has a Web page that says she is a massage therapist who recently graduated from The Center For Massage and Natural Health in Weaverville, N.C. On her Web page, she says, “My private office is tucked away in a serene valley surrounded by an amazing mountain-scape. My loving energy and slow flowing technique provide a truly outstanding relaxation massage.”

Leonard is charged with disorderly conduct and disrupting a funeral.

I have found that I’m addicted to reruns of Charmed, I mean seriously, I’m almost late to work everyday to watch a full episode, and go home early to catch the 4:00 show, damn witches have put a spell on me.

I wish ODB where alive so that he could put out another album, he amuses the hell out of me.

My son’s moustache has grown in, I want to wipe it off his face.

I got tipsey last night, for no reason at all..does that mean I have a problem?

I’m tired of everyone complaining about the stimulus package, at least he’s making a f*cking effort..instead of standing around with a duh look like or former POTUS.

Sometimes I just want to slap a b*tch.  No reasons in particular..just want too.

 

**Oh, forgot to add, I often dream of becoming a stripper to supplement my income, but I don’t want to dance..I just want to jump up and down in place to Right Said Fred music…**

 

What Kind of Mother?????!!!

My cousins 12 years old son ran away from home yesterday.  You see, his mother is in a new relationship, feeling the strain of having a preteen son, and pregnant by the new guy in her life.  Told her child that he was worthless, that she wish she never had him.  That she wishes it was just her, her youngest and the new baby she was having.

What kind of mother does this? What kind of mother throws such careless words at her child?!!!  I pondered this, as I called around town, searched through Myspace to see where he could have went.  you see, this mother couldn’t even tell us what her child had on today, didn’t know his friends or who he would associated with.

He reached out to his grandmother, my aunt.  She wasn’t home, so he left her a note that read,  “My mother told me she doesn’t love me anymore, told me she wishes I were never born and to find a new home.  So, that’s what I am going to do.” 

My aunt crying calling all of us frantically, my grandbaby is gone..I don’t know where!!  Feeling helpless and frustrated.  See, this girl had options.  My aunt took good care of her son, asked her to allow him to stay with her when the mother was struggling.  He was the product of a one night stand with her son.   Even still, when my cousin found out this girl was pregnant, he tried to make it work, bought her a house and all she wanted to do was party and smoke weed.

I know that none of us are perfect, I know all of us at some point have had or will have, trying times with our children.  But, for the life of me I would never tell my child that I regret his/her life.   I feel that as soon as you make the decision to become a mother, you put yourself second.   I can’t find any prouder moment, then looking into the eyes of my children, even when they’ve dissapoint me.

We found him last night, wondering the streets looking for a new home, and while he has temporary  refuge (I hope permanent unless the courts get involved) at his grandmothers house.  I wonder about the permanent scars his mother has left him.

Teacher Suspended For Shooting Foam Dart

POSTED: 7:57 am EST February 26, 2009

BEAUFORT, S.C. — A high school science teacher has been suspended after he shot a foam dart at a 14-year-old student.

 

The Beaufort Gazette reported that Jeffrey Baker, 29, is on paid administrative leave from Battery Creek High School after Monday’s incident.

 

A Beaufort County Sheriff’s Department report said Baker fired a foam dart from a “Nerf” gun toward a group of students who were talking and laughing in his class.

 

The report said that after most students quieted down, one girl continued to talk, and Baker fired another dart at her in a “joking manner,” hitting her left shoulder.

 

The report also said that after Baker fired the foam dart, the girl slapped Baker with the back of her hand.

 

School district officials did not say if the student was or will be disciplined.

 

The newspaper story said the girl’s mother wants to pursue an assault charge against Baker.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

There are two of these toys in my home. One is a standard handheld that shoots one dart at a time and the other looks like an oversized water gun that shoots like four or five darts.  It’s got a bit of a sting, but the most it does is stick to a wall or a tv. It won’t stick to skin and it definitely doesn’t break skin. Maybe I’ve been around my share of kids who simply don’t listen…but I don’t see this as that bad. What I’m having more trouble wrapping my mind around is the fact that the child put her hands on the teacher. First and foremost you are in class, why are you holding social hour. Second if you get a warning shot, why must you continue talking. If the conversation is that important, maybe you need to raise your hand and ask your teacher to discuss it aloud with everyone. Now, the mother wants to pursue assault charges against the teacher. Ummmmm…hello…what about your child and please don’t give me that self defense line.

Times have truly changed. I have friends who are raising their kids the old way. Respect adults and authority. Be respectful and mindful of others, but on a daily basis I see the results of those who are not raised in this manner. They yell at teachers and caregivers at daycares. Call them names, that I didn’t learn how to say until I had one foot out of my mother’s house. What tools should a teacher or administrator employ for dealing with the students who simply don’t respect or fear authority?

 

The Big One…

I just had a Republican friend, who voted for McCain last November, admit that President Obama’s speech last night was a slam dunk. He echoed many real truths that everyday Americans face. He offered solutions, gave hope, and even shouldered some of the blame with us. This Republican stated that daily he is more impressed with President Obama and what he is trying to do for the American people.

Why are the remaining Republicans in authority not getting it?

So how do you think he did last night?

 

The One That Got Away…

I am having entirely too many chance encounters with the past lately. J had a game last night. They won!!!!!!!! Yes, I like winning. The next two teams were up to play and one team didn’t have enough players. So J and his two friends that make up their teams big three stayed to help them play. Their coach was passing out extra jerseys to them and I realized…I knew him.

This is a really nice guy, that I worked with over ten years ago. He was the first person I seriously dated after my relationship with J’s father went south. Nice is too general of a word to use for him. He was always caring and concerned. During the time we dated, he was going through the final stages of his divorce and competing for custody of his two kids. We  had to be kind of under wraps with things because he didn’t want anyone he was seeing dragged into the custody battle. For that reason, we kept our relationship very casual. We liked each other. Enjoyed sports, good music, and Adam Sandler movies. He’s one of the few people I know that thinks Little Nicky is a cinematic work of art. Since we were so casual, it was okay if I met someone else who was offering more. Although I really…really…really…liked him…I thought maybe competition would spark a little more possessiveness in him.

I met chicken tracks one day while we were out. I should have known chicken tracks was a borderline stalker, he pursued me, although I was out with another guy. Slipped me a phone number and I took the bait. He was dangerous, exciting, and he was showing me that he wanted to be with me. While Mr. Casual, was just remaining cool, calm, and collected. So, I chose chicken tracks, had a terrible two years with him, and ended up with a broken heart.

Fast forward ten years and the one that got away is staring me in my face…holding his hand out to grip mine so I won’t fall as I walk down the bleachers. Smiling from ear to ear…just standing and saying nothing…We finally talk…no ring on the ring finger…no female running up at the end of the game…just his mom and dad who remember me. Oh yeah and the ex wife there to watch their kids play. He has custody of the son, she has custody of the daughter. Still Ki, did not have the nerve to make a move…but next week we play them…so don’t count me out yet.

 

Throw Some Beads On It…

It’s Tuesday and I have returned from my visit to flu land. It wasn’t fun. It wasn’t exciting. It definitely wasn’t enjoyable. Not only is it Tuesday, but it’s Fat Tuesday. One of the few times the word fat is used in a positive light. I’d much rather be in New Orleans throwing some beads on it, eating some gumbo, and possibly enjoying some public intoxication in the streets. Only to visit a local church on Wednesday for Ash Wednesday to confess and receive some blessings.

I am so bored with my life at this moment. It’s okay, but I felt the need to confess my boredom at this moment. I am perfectly alright with not having any drama in my life, but what does a girl need to do for a little excitement. You know what’s exciting for me right now (in no particular order):

1. Checking the On Demand listings…Did the upload the new animated episodes of Wolverine and X-Men yet?

2. Checking my Fantasy teams in all four leagues…Am I winning? Are there any good players available?

3. Updating my team mom spreadsheet for J’s basketball team.

4. Tweezing my eyebrows.

5. Reading the next book in the Charlaine Harris Southern Vampire Tales series

6. Working on my story

7. Breaking up a random sibling fight over the last of the fruit punch, who looked at me, did you walk to close to my bedroom door, did you take my hot wheel, she has one of my action figure collectibles…

Please, is this the way my life is going to end. So, I’m rambling, not talking about anything. Come to talk to me or else I will be forced to find something to do on that list. Since I’m at work. It’s between tweezing my eyebrows and working on my story….

 

Keeping Up With The Joneses Flies Out The Window…

When I bought my last car, a lot of people frowned on my decision. Myself included. I wanted something sleeker, shinier, and bigger. However my finances would only allow me to purchase the Kia I got. A little over four years later. I’m thankful. As I watch friends and classmates struggle to make the car payment on the Lexus coupes,  Mercedes Benz, and BMWs that they purchased because they arrived. I’ve moved right along in my economy vehicle. Even when gas prices were at their worst it didn’t hurt me as bad as those I knew who bought that massive Expedition or Navigator, just because they could and they wanted to. Now as our economy worsens, and people wait for the hatchet to fall on jobs across the country. The standard of living is slowly changing. There’s not a push for excess. TJ Maxx has been awful crowded lately and they last time I went to a mall it looked like a ghost town. Even in the midst of tax refund season. Walmart is constantly packed and I’ve never seen more people with those coupon binders flipping as they buy groceries. Life as we know it is changing. I read an article this morning that said it’s even going to factor into what people do with their lives. The decisions they allow their children to make about future careers and schools. There was a time when every new student leaving a four year university was on their way to law school. Now, you’re going to see more people leaning towards professions that promise job stability. Too many MBA graduates are flipping burgers and folding shirts and the end of displays.

I hate to say it but we are to blame for the economic condition that we face today. We became an I want society. Not wanting to wait to purchase or gain anything. Not letting it come to you,  but filling that desire instantaneously. Look where it got is, in the midst of economic ruin. Mindsets have to change before we bypass what we’re enduring now. We have to learn the lesson and pass the test before we move on to the next trial.
