Hi Everyone, how's everyone been doing.  Kaleb & I have been doing okay ourselves these past few weeks/month, sorry it's been a while since I have posted a SharePost.  Kaleb's doing okay so far in school, even though these last 2 wks of school would have said otherwise, the week of Nov. 10th-14th he ended getting a Red Card on Monday, Tues.

Thurs. & Friday of that week (he got a Green Card on Wednesday, I thought maybe that the rest of the wk's going to go better.  HaHa!!!, I could of only hope that it had gotten better).  So this week of Nov. 17th-21st we would start all of w/a new day & new week of school, well on Monday he ended up having some type of 24 hr. bug that had started on Sunday so he  missed school on Monday the 17th (as well I missed work that day also), then he went back to school on Tues. & got a Red Card so I was thinking here we go again, but I just kept my mouth quit & hoped that Wednesday was going to go better.  Well when I got home from work on Tues. Night my next door neighbor had a message for me that my Gma had just passed away the day before, she had Alzheimer & Dementia (she's in a better place now).  I had asked my sister what she had passed away from & she said that she thought someone told her it was from a stroke that she had sometime over last weekend or earlier this week.  On Wednesday he got Yellow Card which was improvement from the previous day/week of school, then on Thurs. he got a Green Card. Yeah!!! the week finally got better.  He didn't go to school on Friday & I didn't go to work cause yesterday was my Gma's Funeral, so I got to see some of my relatives that live in Illinois, Ohio & West Virgina that I haven't seen since I was about 16-17 yrs. old (I will be 31 on Dec. 4th '08), so it was really nice to see them & they had never meet my son yet they have only gotten pictures of him (except for in '06 & '07), cause I wasn't able to send out X-Mas Cards those 2 yrs (he will be 10 on Dec. 3rd '08).  But one of the biggest surprises of my Gma's passing away is that my sister who lives about 2 in a half hrs NW of London, England came home for the funeral w/her daughter (we haven't seen her & the rest of her family since they all came home for the mnth of Dec. 2006), her & her daughter Madeline will be leaving on this Wednesday the 26th to go back home.  Her husband was getting out of the Navy & that's why they came home in Dec. 2006, his Chief that he had when he was in the Navy didn't want him to get out, but he wantetd to so he told the Cheif find me a job here on base that you want me to do & we will stay.  Long story on their last week home the hadn't gotten an email from his Chief saying that he had found Jim (my sister's husband) a job doing the same thing that he was doing when he was in the Navy, so they stayed in England.  These last 2-3 wks have been really touch & go w/my son's behavior he hadn't been doing so well in being have & he was just plain out acting like a little naughty brat & he was driving me nuts.  I think he's snapped out of it by now, I think so hopefully this coming week of Thanksgiving he will be alot better, I can only hold my breath & hope for the best.  As for me work well I just say that it's getting on my nerves somewhat & I wish that there was something else in this town that paid as much & gave me the flexibility that I have of the job I have now.  I am getting bored w/it & have been bored w/it ever since August, cause it's pretty much repetition everyday that I go to work.  When I was working at the Gas Station, I worked in pretty much the same area everyday, but I didn't do the same exact thing every day that I was at work.  So I have been a little stressed out lately & also I've been having to deal w/a Social Worker cause of the stupidity on my brother's part, so now she wants me to put my son in some after school program or daycare when's he done w/school until I get home instead of him staying at home until I get home from work.  So hopefully I will here something from here this week about what she had found for me where & what I could get my son into after school instead of him staying home, there's more to it than that she just want's him to go to an afterschool program (if u really want the whole situation on why she wants him in an after school program, send me a Private Message & I will let u know why), I don't feel that the whole community has to know about it.  I didn't do anything wrong & I'm not in any way, shape or form going to get my son taken away from me at all, so don't worry on that part.  So the last one on one session that I had w/the Counselor/Psychologist @ the begining of this mnth on the 5th was dealing w/what the Social Worker had told him & she wanted us to discuss that issue, so we did & he's pretty much on my side & put in a good word for me, cause he's know's the reason why the Social Worker was contacted in the first place & he's know's that I/we have been working on that issue & have resolved it.  My brother just called the Children Youth & Family Serv's on me cause of a lie that some of the other people out where we both live told him that I had called his Probation Officer on him, which I didn't cause if I did he would've been arrested for violating a few of his Probation Rules/Regulations & he was never arrested.  He had called the CYF Serv's when him & I weren't getting along this past August-1/2 of Sept.
