5th Grade's Snowmen Point of View

Crop. Profile. Frontal View. Things that are suppose to be super easy for my beastly 5th Graders to manage in this art project. Sadly, out of a class of 33, these are the only ones that made the cut! Needless to say I am super disappointed in my big kids for their lack of effort and creativity in these!


I am adding to this art post of mine! blogging via cell is HARD!! not all of my pics uploaded or transferred to my post so that was frustrating!

5th Grade's Dale Chihuly Chandeliers. A work-in-progress-

4th Graders have been super busy with their paper Chinese Dragons. These were a hit! The Chinese New Year was great lesson to incorporate a little culture into the lesson! 

Enjoy lovelies!

I heart the movie VALENTINES DAY! Such a great cast!

Have a great weekend all! I can't say GO GREEN BAY or Go Steelers! I will proudly be wearing my Bears Jersey at the big Superbowl party on Sunday! I'm such a Rebel. I know!

Drugs and Druggies

So I was driving to work this morning, by the time this posts though, it will be a day later! Anyhow, and T H R E E radio stations were discussing Charlie Sheen and his "drug" problem.
Then this one radio host said that Charlie Sheen is actually missing the majority of his front teeth from his cocaine problem. WHAT!!>!? Are you serious!? How did I not know this? More over, cocaine makes your teeth fall OUT? Like all the way? lol I mean I had always heard that Meth literally puts/burns holes in your brain, but never heard that about coke! Oh yes folks, that means those of you who watch his show currently, he's wearing FAKE TEETH!!!! Seriously CBS how can you employ such a drug addict? How anyone can watch this show anymore is what I would like to know. The show is actually very funny, but what a disappointment from someone who has FIVE CHILDREN (eldest Cassandra (Sheen and his then girlfriend, Paula Profit, had a daughter, Cassandra Jade Estevez born December 12, 1984) ( 2 Daughters Sam and Lola with Denise Richards) ( Twins Max and Bob with Brooke Mueller) that obviously he never sees them bec drugs are #1 in his life, not his kids or ex wives. The radio lady then proceeded to ask us listeners if knowing a celebrity has a drug problem changes our minds about supporting them and watching theirs shows, listening to their music etc etc. 

The radio lady then said that CBS has currently halted the filming of new episodes of Two and  Half Men which is costing Them a ridiculous amount of money! How do they put up with this? Do they really think he is worth it? Charlie Sheen is tarnishing the network! They are basically saying we don't care that he does drugs so long as he shows up for work and is "professional". 


Drugs FREAK me out. BIG TIME. Truth be told, I don't know ANYONE that does drugs or did do drugs other than in college and the occasional waif of Weed that fermented down the halls of the dorms. My whole upbringing, D.A.R.E. in elementary school kinda always instilled that Red warning flag in my head about drugs. Drugs are BAD. Drugs ruin your life. Drugs make you everything you don't want to do/be. Drugs are expensive. Drugs make you do bad things. This was enough for me to never want to have anything to do with them! 


Maybe I grew up in a bubble. Even smokers freak me out. I hate the smell, people's yellow teeth no matter how they try and hide it you can tell ( or I can anyway) and wicked smokers breath! Sorry bloggers if some of you smoke, but odds are we wouldn't really be that good of friends bec NONE of my friends smoke in 'real' life. I don't really hang out with those kinds. I can't even be outside at a bar near people smoking. It makes me wanna vomit, and I feel like I am choking for air. 


How is it okay for CELEBS to do drugs, act like it's okay and the law can't touch them? It's so messed up!!! I guess money can buy you everything...at least buy your way out of the law and jail time! 


Where is Charlie's brother in all of this?

 I can't even remember the last time I even heard of Emilio Estevez name in the news or in any movies (other than Mighty Ducks!) The eldest son of Martin Sheen. Though his father had opted to use the stage name "Sheen" over his more ethnic birth name "Estevez," Emilio chose to retain the family name, hoping to avoid riding his father's coattails. He even married the lovely Paula Abdul 1992 - May 1994 ( now divorced) and yet we never hear anything bad about him in the news!  Charlie Sheen needs take a lesson from his big brother! 


How do you tell Kids today and really get the message across to them that DRUGS ARE Bad when so many of them have parents that do them ALL THE TIME!?!?
With all the Britneys and Lindsays out there, this question would seem a formidable foe, but understandably the challenges of child rearing are perhaps more complex than the simple lessons we might learn from the foibles of others. Perhaps it's the simple move from focusing on their actions to their outcomes.

Britney's lost her babies, Lindsay's career and reputation are in dire jeopardy... However, it seems to only really affect those who had something to lose to begin with, in reality. I mean, a little bad publicity's not going to hurt someone like Paris. She's virtually untouchable, in a sense. Not only because she's learned not to care, to some degree, but because she really has nothing to lose. I mean, no matter what happens, she will always be the Hilton heiress...and perhaps that's what's most important to her, as well as, society in general.

So, really what we're talking about is a value system; one that doesn't subserviently subscribe to what society tells us per se, but rather one that is valued at the family level.

First of all, for reasons unknown, the very fact that what's going on in these peoples lives has become an important factor in our society should express clearly that most often our own values and beliefs are all we can ever truly find to be tangible. I mean, we're never going to completely agree with what occurs within the eyes of the media.

How about Whitney Houston?

 Another SUPER famous singer who has pretty much been caught doing drugs numerous times and yet the law isn't after her, and her music label doesn't drop her...
In April 2000, airport security discovered Marijuana in Whitney’s luggage. Whitney has been in and out of rehab, and also has admitted to abusing Alcohol, Marijuana, Cocaine and Pills. In 2006 the National Enquirer published photographs of what was reportedly Houston’s private bathroom. The counters were covered with empty beer bottles, rolling papers, pipes and powder-covered spoons and lighters. Whitney’s sister-in-law claimed that she is addicted to Crack and has nearly overdosed several times. She also claimed that Whitney often punches and bites herself until she is black and blue, thinking that the devil is attacking her. WOW. Really Clive Davis this is who you have kept on your music label for what? All last year she cancelled NUMEROUS shows claiming to be ill when in fact dear Whitney can't sing anymore...Her drug abuse has damaged her vocals a great deal!!! 




Even little miss 23 yr old former Laguna Beach Kristin has "supposedly" dabbled with coke.  Quote from a magazine:
But those close to the hard-partying Cavallari, 23, say that such antics have become more and more typical. "Her issues are becoming apparent to everyone," an insider reveals. "She's getting scary-thin and not showering regularly...She's clearly unhealthy."

News flash celebs do not get this thin this fast from eating disorders! They must think we the people are retarded and don't know the effect of drug use.


Sadly I could go ON AND ON and list even more celebs that have DRUG problems, the list is that long which is really sad to me.

Do you boycott any celebs you know are druggies? Stop watching their movies, listening to their music?

They all need to take get your shit together class from the biggest druggie their was who is now clean and sober ROBERT DOWNY JR.

Note: These are my opinions. They are not facts. Some of you may completely disagree and say They aren't druggies. I can only go by what I have read/seen/heard via news. net. and radio.  You are entitled to your opinions as am I.

Make it a great day or not, the choice is yours!

Wow how many of you caught the Bachelor on Monday night? Shawntel the one that got the shopping spree can we say HOLY SCHNIKES!!!! ABC must have dropped a few Benjamins x 100 on her purchases in Vegas!!

My heart totally went out for This gal....how hard it must of been to be at the very racetrack that ended her fiances' racing career. Jeez ABC you might as well of taken her to the crash site to where his plane crashed! Super heartless!

And when watching her last night, when this very screen cap came up I fell in LOVE with her necklace!!! So better to ask than the Possessionista!!! I tweeted at her and much to my delight she found where I could get the necklace from!!! I kinda cheated and found it way cheaper via Ebay so I am very excited for that to arrive in the mail soon! :)

So those two lovely ladies I mentioned last week that I thought were super cute and got no screen time? Marissa and Lisa? Drum roll...............They both got sent home. Boo. Hiss.

Tell It To Me Tuesdays Vol 2

 Tell It To Me Tuesdays!

I Wanna know (What the heck is bothering you!) Just simply post a picture of it, write a few sentences and then link up to see what others have posted!

{1} So there is this little girl at my school who comes to school in literally falling a part or off her clothes. My heart breaks for her because her parents do NOTHING but send her in rags like this to school. What the table graciously hides is another HUGE hole right by her crotch. Yes no joke. she has another hole right in her area. I decided to only shoot a pic like this because well I didn't want it to be weird of me taking a picture of that general area! Ha! She's such a sweet girl, I honestly feel like I should run to walmart and buy her a pair or NEW unholy pants. But from what I have been told by her classroom teacher, her caretakers have money, just don't choose to spend it on her. That is just pathetic.

Then there's this that aggravates me.

{2} This house is a house that I drive by every day to work. Granted I work in a low income type neighborhood but NONE of the other houses on the street have this much CRAP sitting out on their front lawn/driveway. Seriously? Donate it! Call Goodwill! Everyday I drive by, I swear they accumulate more junk and let it pile up!


Don't forget to link up!

Much love for Furbabies!
