I ranted and raved already about self help and thinking positively on Jerry the Turtle: http://jerrytheturtle.blogspot.com/
Here is the link where you can view the full length movie for $4.95 each view. If you're just curious you might want to do this first. It's only $5. I haven't seen it. Not something I've wanted to do. Maybe someday.
I imagine it's probably helpful, but not really the answer to everything. How can any one thing be the secret to everything?
It can't.
Kind of related: My favorite saying nowadays, "Perception is reality". Simple, yet difficult to grasp sometimes.

The extent of my gaming
Atari - #13 on the top 50 best tech gadgets according to PC World.
Now I don't know to what extent I should trust this publication, but considering my knowledge, anything is probably better than nothing.
Just that word, and looking at a picuter of an ATARI brings back memories. My favorite game, as sad as it is, I forgot the name, where that little guy has to swing on a rope over this lake/pond and if he falls he gets eaten by alligators. Of course there was a little more to it but I loved that game. Pac-Man was so much easier on the joy sticks. All the games were actually. Kids these days just pick up on how to play these complicated games. How do they do it? I just can't get into it. I'm tired; that's all I've got for now.

Speaking of Dreams SD
What the hell? I dreamt that I had a horrible infestation of boxelder bugs in my house and you couldn't move without stepping on one or seeing one. I had to get out the vacuum and clean them up; there were these eggs, larger than the boxelders themselves that I had to suck up too. That's all I remember. Disgusting little creatures.

headache
I've had a headache all day. Now my daughter has a fever and a headache. You know your kids are sick when all they do is sleep. I gave her Tylenol to help with the fever and pain. I doubt I'll send her to school tomorrow. To her Dad's she goes. He likes having her around and they get along well. I worry about his medicine giving capabilities though. He either gives too little or too much. It's not rocket science, the instructions are on the bottle.
When Jamea was about 1 yr old, I got home from work at around 10 pm and she was sleeping on the couch. I sat down to cuddle with her and realized that she had a terrible fever. Larry said he had given her medicine. S he wasn't sick prior to me going to work so this was news to me. So we are sitting there and all of the sudden she starts seizing. Scared the shit out of me. I called the ambulance, police arrived 1st. She awoke before they got there and she seemed okay - a little out of it. The ambulance arrived and watched her for a while. They knew she had a seizure because of how disoriented she was. I t was a fibril seizure, which is common for infants/toddlers with high fevers. I asked Larry how much Tylenol he gave her and he gave her half the dose - so basically it did nothing for her.
I was so mad at him. READ THE DAMN LABEL ALREADY!!!! To this day he doesn't read the label. I have to tell him and hope he remembers. I have taught the kids how much they need so when their Dad tries to shove medicine down their throats they know if it's too much or too little. It all works out in the end. For the most part their Dad is very good with the kids when they are sick; he is very attentive to them. I have to give him that. Me on the other hand, he could give a crap. Oh well, I'm an adult I think I can manage.
Other than that same old, same old. Nothing new in my life. My review at work turned out great, I got a raise. It's been over a year and I still like my job. It's getting a little boring however. I'm looking forward to branching out a little. I've made known my desire for more knowledge so I've thrown out the bone. We'll see if they take it or not.
No summer school for the kids. They are both improving on their grades and behavior so as a reward I told them I wouldn't send them this year. They have to keep improving and doing well, otherwise to summer school they go next year. Jarod is more caring about how he does in school, which I like to see. He cares if he has late work, or if he's behind on his work. He enjoys doing well more so than he did, say a year ago.
Isn't it true about school...
Learning how to learn is the most important thing you take away from school. When you walk out into the real world, that's the skill you're going to use the most. All the details you won't remember nor will you have use for.
Anyway,
later
