My little girl, now a 7th grader

Tomorrow is the beginning of another school year for my 12 year old daughter, I am finding it hard to believe that she is now a 7th grader and is in middle school, and what ever happened to calling it Junior High School anyway.

Seeing that she lives with her Dad and he leaves for work earlier than her bus arrives, I volunteered to pick her up and drive her to school for the first few days, until she feels a bit more sure of herself, being a new school and all. She is such a shy one and she is very nervous about the whole thing, I wish I could go with her and make sure everyone is nice to her, I’m sure their are millions of mothers (and fathers) who feel the same way. Kids can be so incredibly cruel and I just hate thinking of anyone being mean and/or nasty towards her in any way. This is one wonderful little girl and is full of such goodness and humanity, she has the soul of an old Native American woman and deserves nothing but the best!

It’s late, I just got off of the phone with her, making sure she has everything that she needs and has it all ready to go for in the morning. Seems that they had to make a run to the store today to get her a new alarm clock and now she is all set to go. Hope she sleeps well.

Jimmy Buffett – The Author

My passion for reading has been with me all of my life, although it take a back seat for several years after giving birth to my daughter, 12 years ago. Now that I am on my own once again, my ex has custody, for the time being, I have been excited about given more time on my hands in order to start some serious reading once again.

I have been a “Parrot Head” since way back and have always enjoyed the tropical type music that he is so well known for producing and I have heard that he has written some books lately, but have never seemed to be able to come upon any of his books until just recently.

So I was thrilled to find one of his books called “A Salty Piece of Land” at my favorite used book store, and for only $2 and I’ve really enjoyed the reading of it this past week. I’m glad that inside of the book it tells me the names of his other books that I will need to see if I can find at a good bargain also. I’m especially interesting in finding the one entitled “A Pirate Looks At Fifty”, if I can’t find it locally then I guess I could always look on-line and see if I can find it somewhere out there in cyber-world, for cheap.

Only two days left until Uncle Sam gets his $$$

I happen to be one of those people that postpones the inevitable by waiting until the last moment in filing my taxes and the calendar is telling me that I have only 2 more days left of holding on to my hard earned money, before handing it over to good old Uncle Sam.

Now if I was to be deserving enough to receive a refund, you can bet your bottom dollar that I would be the first in line at the Post Office mailing in all the necessary paperwork that is demanded of all U.S. taxpayers every year in an effort to get something out of the whole deal.

But I have been having to pay into the system each year, since becoming legally divorced and giving custody to my ex of our 12 year old daughter, I like to hold onto and use my money for as long as I possibly can. So come the 15th I’ll be there in line with all of the other late comers, but I’m sure I’ll be in good company!
