MY SON HAD THE DAY OFF SCHOOL FOR SCHOOL BOARD VOTING SO I TOOK HIM TO THE PRIVATE SCHOOL WE HAVE ENROLLED HIM IN FOR NEXT YEAR. IT WILL COST US ABOUT 160 A MONTH FOR THE YEAR BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN HIGHER. MICHIGAN HAS "SCHOOL OF CHOICE" SO YOU CAN HAVE THE GOVT. SCHOOL FUNDS SENT TO PUBLIC OR PRIVATE SCHOOLS. AND IT IS A CHURCH SCHOOL SINCE I AM A MEMBER I GET A DISCOUNT. IT REALLY PUTS A CUT IN OUR DISCRESIONARY FUNDS SINCE MY CAR INSURANCE, CAR PAYMENT, AND LOAN PAYMENTS HAVE GONE UP STARTING JUNE 1.

THE BEST PART OF TAKING HIM TO THE SCHOOL IS HE REALLY IS LOOKING FOWARD TO IT NOW. THEY HAVE A LOT OF THINGS HIS SCHOOL DOESN'T HAVE NOW; MORE COMPUTERS (PC'S NOT MACS), INDOOR HOCKEY, BIGGER GYM, BETTER PLAYGROUND. HE ALSO GOT A CHANCE TO MEET THE KIDS THAT WILL BE IN HIS NEW CLASS. SOME OF THEM HE RECOGINIZED FROM SUNDAY SCHOOL. HE WILL ALSO RECOGNIZE ALOT OF THE KIDS FROM THE CUB SCOUT PACK HE WILL BE TRANSFERING TO THAT IS BASED AT THE CHURCH.

I AM TRYING TO DECIDE IF I AM GOING TO TRY HELPING WITH THE SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM DAILY. I HAVE A 23 YEAR FOOD SERVICE RESUME' AND COULD PROBABLY SAVE THEM ALOT OF MONEY. IT WILL ALSO GIVE ME A CHANCE TO HELP SUPERVISE HIM DAILY SO MABYE HIS BEHAVIOR WILL BE MORE UNDER CONTROL NEXT YEAR. HE HAS BEEN GETTING A LITTLE BETTER THOUGH LATELY I'M GLAD TO REPORT.

I AM FEELING A LITTLE BETTER ABOUT REACHING MY GOAL EVERYDAY,(WALKING AND PILLS)IT HAS BEEN GOOD FOR MY STRESS OVERALL. IT WAS RAINING TODAY THOUGH ALL DAY SO I COULDN'T WALK, I COULD HAVE USED MY PILIATES BALL BUT I JUST COOKED DINNER AND PAID BILLS PAID SOME BILLS INSTEAD, SO I FEEL LIKE I ACHIEVED SOMETHING.

I HOPE THE WEATHER IS BETTER TOMORROW SO I CAN GET OUR BUBBLE POOL MOVED TO MORE LEVEL GROUND.
THE WIFE WOULD LOVE TO SWIM IN IT ON MOTHERS DAY WEEKEND. WE ALREADY GOT TICKETS FOR SPIDERMAN ON SUNDAY. SHE HAS TO WORK BUT THEN WE ARE GOING TO APPLEBEES AND THE SHOW.

WELL TIME FOR PILL AGAIN THEN BED...TIM
