Bleep

My last post was about my frustration with Austin and Chantz and their inability to function away from these machines called XBox and PC that suck them into a vortex and refuses to spit them out for hours and hours...

Austin is once again limited in his game playing; Chantz came through and moved the XBox into the living room where we can control it. Austin must finish his schoolwork first (yes, he is still being homeschooled through out the summer) before he can play. He can also earn time by playing outside or going to the park.

sidebar: I forced both kids to the park the other day and I had force them to go home!!!

Austin himself has been requesting bedtime stories every night this week! What's more, is that Chantz has been reading to him. Tess and I went to the public library. We got Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlotte's Web and, my all time favorite book ever, Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. That is Austin's bedtime story choice this week. Tess likes Matilda- you know, that cute movie with Danny Devito and Rhea Perlman? about the little girl whose parents are mean to her and send her to an awful school where the headmistress is cruel and evil and makes a boy eat this HUGE cake and Matilda is a genius and magical... the same author as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory...

Sorry, I let my self slip into SofC again. I just can't help it sometimes. I am sorry if it is annoying, oh wait, I'm not. But it is relaxing and this is my blog- so there (envision tongue sticking out).

So my Austin and Chantz issues are resolved, for now, oh how I am ever the optimist, and I feel so much better. I even made Austin a bedtime storybook. It is just a social story to help him get ready for bed and reduce his nervousness and anxiety. It sets up a routine but at the same time leaves room for change to let him know change is ok.

Oh and some of my irrationality and pissiness in my last post might have had something to do with PMS. Might have.

We lost a door knob yesterday. Yeah! Chantz opened the door and off it popped. The look he had was priceless! They actually came and fixed it today! I didn't call until this morning, after our internet shut down and poor Chantz couldn't play with Mikey! Nor bother talk to him on the phone, which is why I was able to call. They even removed some of the seal so the kids can actually open the door now! Aw hell, now I can open the damn door! From the way the landlords usually are (a realtor for Christ's sake) we figured they might come fix it next year.

Did I ever mention that I hate living in Laramie, WY? Well I am now.

I am reading an awesome new series by L Ron Hubbard, think BattleField Earth (NOT the lame-ass movie but the awesome monster of a book), called Mission Earth. It is a science fiction SATIRE from the perspective of the Aliens who are going to invade in 100 years. My god does it make fun of earth and the US and all and I mean all government and local agencies- you know, they all think they run the government, are corrupt and use psychology and drugs to manipulate the population and the universities push CONFORMITY and the world is being destroyed by pollution! Which is why Jet Heller is there to leak technology to preserve our world so it will still be habitable when the Voltarians come to invade in 100 years. But the narrator of the story, Soltan Gris, this pansy ass, mean, stupid, bugs bunny and froyd influenced, creep, incompetent slimeball of a spy with paranoia and god knows what, must make sure Jet doesn't succeed (I won't reveal why). It is so very engrossing. The agency that Soltan works for, called in short the Apparatus, has these initials: CIA.

Truly wonderful and amazing. And the narrator is really disgusting although I sometimes feel sorry for the poor "bleepard" cuz nothing goes his way and he is treated like dirt by his superiors in the same way he treats his subordinates. Ah and there is also a lot of comment on drugs, prostitution and Mafia.

Just good all around entertainment. Not recommended, by me, for kids! Adult content!

I love it! You must read Mission Earth, Invader's Plan (bk 1). Beware, it is a dekalogy. Yep, that means 10 books. 10!
