Apple Fools Day

Apple-links-587431

When My daughter Zelda was little she thought it was Apple Fools Day. So each joke she told was about apples.

Finally I said “Zelda, why are all your jokes about apples?”

Zelda, “It’s Apple Fools Day!” Then she went on to laugh and laugh. Now shes 8 years old and we told apple jokes all day.

Happy Apple Fools Day

Ryan loves Captain Hook

 

A lot of people say, “Nancy you have to be raising a ‘Oncer’ if he loves Captain Hook so much.”  For those who don’t know a “Oncer” is someone who loves the show “Once Upon a Time.”  Here’s the thing,  it’s not that Hook he loves.  He loves that Old Codfish!   Ryan is one of a kind!

Writing Contest

I entered a writing contest. I thought I came up with an excellent plot. I was so excited and then when I looked over what I sent to them; I found a grammar error.  I hope they overlook one error but since it’s a contest, they may just push mine aside.  I am feeling rather foolish now for sending my story rather than going over it and over it. Writers are too critical of their work. I am too critical of work and myself but the one time I don’t reread hundreds of times; I find an error.

Role Play

I love writing and have gotten many story ideas and inspiration from role play. I have several groups on Facebook and have made some amazing friends there. Check them out if you like.

Welcome to ONCE UPON A SUPERHERO. We are a multi-fandom role-play group. DC Comics, Marvel Comics and One Upon a Time

Thanos learns that the only way for him to repair the flaw in the universe would be to destroy the universe and re-construct it. He is finally driven to mindless rage by the attempt of the cosmic powers to usurp his reign, and decides in one fateful, final moment to absorb the entirety of the universe back into himself, so that none might ever again threaten his reign. Thanos is thus able to use the Heart’s power to absorb the cosmic beings into himself—and, in doing so, he absorbs the entire multiverse.
The cosmic hero Adam Warlock, who was outside space-time continuum when Thanos absorbed the universe, appears to Thanos and explains to him what had transpired. Adam convinces Thanos to sacrifice himself to restore the universe. Lady Death herself, whom Thanos has long been in love with, also managed to escape. Lady Death caresses Thanos’s cheek, kisses him for deciding to sacrifice himself, and disappears into the now empty void of space, leaving Thanos awe-struck. Thanos’s whereabouts are unknown at this time.
By doing this Thanos unintentionally created a void which pulled all planes of existence into one. All are now part of the same universe.
Now the fun begins, where does it leave the rest of the worlds. How do we live/work/play/love and defend this new World this Elseworld.

Ever play Dungeons and Dragons? Well this isnt exactly that but its close. D&D is meant for table top Role Play but this is as close as we can get on Facebook. Play your favorite race/class, and join in the fight to save the Kindgom, or fight for your own glory. The choice is yours.
Although the framework is a lot like Dungeons and Dragons this is still a role play. We will not be using character sheets of dice. We will plot in chats and create stories and write in threads.
The Kingdom of Rèisean Aonaichte (which is Gaelic for United Races) is in turmoil. The king has died many years ago and the heirs to his throne are missing or presumed dead. The people live in fear as roving bands of orcs and bandits rule the countryside. Will you fight to save your village? Fight to take the throne? What do you want gold? Glory?

His assasination pushs throough what became Called the Kelly bill. Rendering all mutants to second class citizens and for them to be registered and segregated from baseline humans.
The year is now 2050. Mutants have segregated to the Island of New York, and are heavly policed.

Filters off

So people can be cruel. We all know that. People also use all sorts of apps to make their selies look amazing. Lets face it, we are not all the same but yet we should embrace that. Recently in the world of rp, a friend was critized because of how much they weigh in real life. People hid behind character profiles because they are scared of what others will think of the real person behind the profile. So i am starting this campaign. God didnt make any mistakes in making you. So i am tagging people, not set amount of people neeeded, just tag your friends. Show that you are proud of who you are filters off.

Yes my smiles, well I’m in the middle of dental work. Notice my puffy checks. Yes, yes it does hurt. Does that mean you wont rp with me? I hope not. This is me first thing in the morning. Bryce Imholz calls me.princess Anna in the morning.

Morning, no make-up, no coffee yet!

A Work in Progress

Ok! So maybe I am taking this a little too far with this blogging stuff, but I am really excited about it. I have create four blogs! Four I know I am crazy!
Anyway I wanted one blog to write personal stuff about me and my family. Things that I want to vent about or talk about. Just your basic blog.
Then I wanted another one so I can work on my book. I figure I can rework some parts of my book and make it better. The more I write the more my writing will be better.
Then I wanted a place to write ideas down. I wanted a place where I can really work on writing and telling stories without showing it to everyone. This is my private blog.
Finally I made one that I would like to become my professional blog. When I do write something that I love and that I am ready to publish I can put it here.


I am really excited about all of this. I said that before, but now my goal is to keep up with these blogs.

Van’s ears

Van’s ears

I am not a medicine, medicine type of person, but I am also not the holistic girl either. I believe in a balance. I know some won’t agree but what you do with your body and your family is your business.  So I take my kids to a chiropractor and I go as well.  Don’t really know if it helps with anything else then my back feeling good.  My chiropractor tells to to not give my kids an vacciantions and to cancel Van’s surgery for his ears.  He says that iF Van gets adjusted three times a week he won’t have any fluid in his ears.  Well great! Let me just tell my son that you may not may not hear. Oh and somehow get you to the chirporctor three times a week! That’s a laugh! And when they say that Zelda has autism because of her vaccinations I cringe.  They don’t know what causes autism! But hey there are five kids in Devin’s family who are on the spectrum! Yet people still say its vaccinations! I am not saying I have the answers but let’s play would you rather. Would I rather have Zelda the way she is or Zelda who has or has had mumps, rubella, or many of the other things we vacciante for. They say its the vaccinations! Sorry just needed to vent.  I feel sometimes you need to take medicine and sometimes you don’t.  I really like going to my chirpractor but I am tired of the pressure and making me or sorry trying to make me feel bad for things like Van’s surgery or vaccinations! I am already stressed enough with his surgery!


Zelda’a IEP

 

ZELDA’S IEP

May 7, 2013 at 9:46pm

 We had Zelda’s IEP today.  Zelda is in the 3 year old preschool disabled classroom.  I am not saying anything negative about her school, because I love the team of people that work with her.  Its the IEP process that I have some concerns with.

 

What I would like to see is a copy of a working copy of IEP’s given out to parents possible a week or more before the IEP meeting.   I know some people would say that this creates more work for teachers, but really they have to write it anyway. 

When I came to this IEP I felt for lack of a better work dumb.  this was not the fault of the school district.  I read over Zelda’s old IEP and her progress report before the meeting.  I came with questions that I wanted to ask at the meeting based on the goals and objectives set forth in her original IEP.  I felt prepared. 

There were some objectives that Zelda was not making based on her progress report and I had questions prepared based on that report.  The problem was that now she has reached those goals and there were not new goals.

I would have liked to know the new goals ahead of time.  I wanted to ask about different ways I could help zelda at home.  So that both home and school were on the same page.

 

I felt this way through most of the meeting but my shock came when they talked about where they wanted to place Zelda for next year.  When Zelda started school in October they talked about putting in the inclusion 3 year old room in December, then it was the end of the year.  Then it was to let her transiton in summer program.  Tehn she wqsa goin got go there teh following yhear.  Now they say they want her to go to the preschool disabled 4 year old class.   I mean did I miss something.  I was dumbfounded.  I mean if I knew that that is what they were planning I could have been better equipped to asked questions.  Is Zelda not doing as well as we all had thought? 

I know have so many questions and it frustrates me because I had the entire IEP team there this morning and was given new information and no time to process it.  Now I have questions. 

 

 

 

Its not just this school district.  From what I can see all school districts do the same thing.  I have been told that legally 7 to 10 days after the IEP meeting the parents are supposed to get a copy of the IEP.  Wouldn’t it have been much better if 7 to 10 days before parents received a working copy.  I mean there are parents who care and want to work with the school.   We are not the enemy.  If we both wants what is best for our children, they we should both be on the same page.  Maybe the law needs to be changed.

God is good!

God is good!

So on October 31th, 2008 I miscarried my first baby. The baby stopped growing at 7 weeks 2 days and I starting miscarriage at 11 weeks 2 days. (Didn’t know I lost the baby until then.) On Thursday I was 11 weeks 2 days and felt the baby for the first time.  God is good!  After you miscarry you have a strange fear of losing your about losing your baby again.  I don’t have an ultrasound until December 12, so the waiting seems like forever. Becasue I am 35 I have to go to a hihg risk doctor for the ultrasounds.  The last two days i have felt so sick with moring sickness. Not that I like that but it means that the baby is okay.  I predict that the baby is a boy because I feel a lot like I did when I was pregnant with Van. Though Zelda is hoping for a sister.  I will be counting down the days until my ultrasound but it was comforting to feel the baby, even if it was just for a second.
