Some Random Rich Dude Just Put Me In His Will.....

Is there one true love in life or are there several true loves in a lifetime?  This is the question of the day.

I know people who met in high school and fall madly in love and spend their lives together. I know people who marry and divorce and find their loves later in life.  I know people who loved their spouse and are widowed who find love again.   They happily spend their lives together. I also know people who never seem to find the person they were meant to be with and  are in one tragic relationship after another.

Ive loved and lost and loved and lost.  Heartache isn't an easy thing to go through regardless of your age.

My first love was my college boyfriend. We became great friends and fell in love slowly. I cant say a bad word about him. I still have fond memories of him and the love we shared.  He is a kind and gentle soul. Although our lives took a different turn we remain friends. He is married with a gorgeous daughter.  I learned more from this relationship than I have from any other relationship in my life.

My second love is my daughter's father. I think the only reason I consider him a love is because of the daughter he gave me. She is truly the love of my life.

Fill in the blank.

The third love of my life is__________.(a blogger, Bradley Cooper, some random rich dude that is 90 years old,  or some random rich dude who has just put me in his will).

Is your leg still there?

My daughter's classmate in her 3 year old class broke her leg. The student is recovering and will be back to school on Monday.  One morning, I was getting ready for work and my daughter said, "Mom I need to tell you a little story, Megan was riding her bike outside and she fell. She had to go to the hospital and get a cast because she broke her leg. In a few weeks, Megan will go back to the doctor and get her cast off and see if her leg is still there."....umm.. I didn't correct her. I thought she could wait until Megan's cast is removed to see if Megan's leg is still there. Life has very few surprises. This is my blog of the day! With Love, Bamaslammer

I Gotta Fever..

This is just a Friday quick post. I love to tell stories about my students. They say things that just make me laugh. In teaching, you have to have a sense of humor or you would cry your eyes out or pull out all of your hair.

One of my students came into my room before school started the other day.  He had been absent the day before so I asked him if he had been sick. The child has asthma and when he gets sick  he has a harder time recovering than most people. I like the student a lot and I enjoy having conversations with him. So, I asked are you okay? I noticed your were absent yesterday. He said, yes I was really sick I had to go to the hospital because my asthma was so bad. I also had a fever. I said well I am glad you are back today and you are feeling better. He said, Ms. Bamaslammer, I was sooo sick and my fever was so high, it was a 198 degrees!  The only thing I said after he said  his fever was 198 degrees is I am glad you feel better and you lived.  I thought he could run that by his science teacher and the science teacher can correct him. I work more in the math department. This is my blog of the day,  With Love, Bamaslammer

Hey Lindsay and Lindsay's Momma-GET A JOB!

Yes, many of Lindsay and her Momma's problems could be solved by getting a J---O---B! Lindsay is supposedly employed as an actress these days and her mom is her momanager. Okay, that is about 75% of the problem and her insane father is the remaining part of the problem percentage.

Lindsay's latest acting gig is "Liz and Dick" a movie on Lifetime showing this Sunday. I will be watching. I think Lindsay is talented and could be as successful as she wanted to be back before all the wrecks, car chases, and wearing her friend's jeans with cocaine in them (still funny).

I know wearing your friend's cocaine laced jeans is quite common and we all get busted for possession every now and again. Lindsay-it happens to me all the time. I have learned to pat my friends down for wires and drugs before I go carting off in their pants or cars. To avoid the law officials, I suggest you do the same.

After college, I wanted nothing more than to continue my partying days, sleeping all day, and partying all night on my father's dime. I was blessed enough not to have an enabler much less a slew of enablers that were funded by me. I tried to play the I want to "look" for a job this summer and just kind of take it easy. I got told not enabled. My father said- if you don't get your butt home you will be living on the street. OHHH by the way we have you a job working for your cousin at a nursing home and you WILL start on Monday. That is how it works with a southern momma and daddy. The "finding" yourself is replaced with "finding" your broke butt a J--O---B and if you don't find a J-O-B we will find you a J-O-B and you ain't gonna like it!

Lindsay is surrounded by people mainly her mom who continue to say, "Lindsay-you are awesome! Can I have 40,000 bucks?,Lindsay-Nooo you don't have a drug problem, everyone loves you, you have plenty of job offers coming in." ummm... NO ONE was saying those things to me.. "Bamaslammer..you are gorgeous, smart,etc." NOO ONE.. That was replaced by "What day do you go to work?, When are you going to pay us back?".

Lindsay- I'm sorry your "fame" days have passed. We all experience our "glory" days being done and over because some younger, cuter, thinner, former version of ourselves comes along and steals our spotlight. This has happened to us all. That is when the "shit" gets real and we must grow up. I can so relate to you Lindsay, our fame has faded. But the difference is I was made to get real...

Hold Your Babies Tight....

One thing about a random blog like mine is I blog about what is on my mind. Most of the time my blog is light hearted. Today, not so much. I cant get that Jerry Sandusky creep off my mind. I am not posting a photo with his blog because it is just to much for me.

I work in education and I hear sad stories daily and I also watch the news more than any human being should. It is an inherited trait from my father. Growing up in my home, the news was on the television constantly and that is pretty much how it is at my house now.

It brings me to this question how do you protect your children from all the predators lurking and looking for a victim?

Jerry Sandusky he was found guilty by a jury. I can completely see how a single mother of a son can be lured in by Jerry Sandusky. He was a coach with a college football team. Jerry was a celebrity, a hero type, basically God like. From the outside, he looked as though he would be the perfect role model for a son without a father at home. Proven in the end, he committed unbelievable crimes towards children. The horror those victims suffered at his hands and the guilt the mothers feel is unimaginable. To know you sent your child into the lion's den. I cant imagine the trauma the victims and the parents live with daily. To beat it all the complete lack of a moral compass to blame everyone but himself for the victims pain. Yes, Jerry everyone in the world was involved with setting you up and sending your creepy self to jail... YES, EVERYONE, YOU CREEP!

People make fun of me all the time because I am so protected of my daughter. I do not allow anyone to keep her unless I fully trust them. I plan to be this way until she is older and can learn about "stranger-danger" and even with that I will still be overprotective. I realize when I gave birth to my daughter, I made a vow to love and protect and if protecting means you have to step through this "mean momma" first than so be it. That is just how it is going to be.

I can see how children are taken advantage of when people leave them with a random relative or a boyfriend. But what about those children who were walking to school, waiting on the bus, or just snatched out of the store. We try to teach our children to be polite and kind but I am to the point of teaching my daughter to never look at anyone when we are anywhere.

What about those children who have crimes committed to them in their own homes by someone who is suppose to love them. I pray nightly for protection over my daughter, my prayer is always "Please God Protect Her From Evil>". My father told me many many years ago if I didn't want children he understood. Because the world is just a dangerous place and children are really difficult to raise now. I so get what he was saying. He also said it is not really your child you worry about it is everyone else who could harm your child.

This is where I have a no-tolerance-old-fashioned-beat-down-southern-way-about-myself.... I wish for hanging, electric chair, death squad, and basically anything you can think of to punish the abuser.

Hot Mess Of The Week

Hands down he is the "Hot Mess of the Week".

Just the nerve of taking the time to write an email to a complete stranger and calling her "fat" makes you the "Hot Mess of the Week." Who does that? Obviously, this dude.

By him writing the email, it tells me so much about him. I never have to meet him because I feel like I know him already. I think if we did the research in his background we will find that he doesn't have the best relationship with his mom and/or sisters. This "jerky dude" just has to be single. If he isn't then I nominate his wife/partner for spouse of the year.

I think if he took the time to write her an email then he has a huge CRUSH on her. Why else would he do this? Obviously, he hasn't learned social skills, yet. This goes back to a cute little girl and the boys pulling her hair because the boy has a crush on her. In the adult world, this is the same concept. This dude just hasn't learned she might like him back if he calls her "pretty". I wish the "fat anchor lady and the jerky dude" would just get it on already. They have pent up aggression towards one another. Those two having conversation over dinner isn't going to work this out.

I am waiting on the "jerky dude" to post a comment on my blog that tells me I am an idiot. But, hey.... he doesn't read my blog because only 2 people from Russia read my blog.. (Thank You Russia).. See "Fat Anchor Lady" that is what we call a sense of humor... get one... This is my blog of the day! With Love, Bamaslammer.
