It's October

No new photos so I am posting some from last year at the JDRF walk at the Cleveland Zoo! Katelyn and Kayla!
Me abusing that poor elephant! ...and to think I call myself an animal rescuer!
Punk being Punk!
Katelyn tames a bear!
Kayla trying to soothe the poor elephant after my ride!
And that means a few things.....


We are half way through the first quarter of the school year and interim reports were sent home. Kayla and Katelyn got one "B" which they are not too happy about but are hoping to get them up before the end of the grading period. Katelyn said that if not at least their report cards will say "ADVANCED" math or Language Arts...LOL. But that is what the guidance counselor said when she wanted to move them up...that some kids are unsure because they want to make sure they keep their all "A's" record.


Madison got all "1's" on her interim report since they don't have letter grades yet and her comment is "Madison is off to a great start!" YAY!


Then we have Kayla and Katelyn will be turning 13 on the 13th this year! YIKES! Some day Madison will turn 13 on the 13th as well since I like to have my children on the 13th of whatever month they are born. All 2 birthdays are on the 13th! LOL.


Then we have elections coming up in just a month. I will be voting Democrat at this point as I happen to think that the Republicans have shown us all the miracles they can do with our economy for long enough. Now that I am struggling to EAT I think I will throw all that moral garbage out the window and vote for Obama!


But on a local note. ....if you are in Portage County, our family friend, Dave Doak is running for sheriff. Yes, he is a democrat but more importantly (as the sheriff doesn't do a whole lot platform wise) he is a GOOD man...honest, caring and has the experience to be a great Sheriff for our community! So if you wanted to know how to vote for for our county Sheriff...Dave's the man!


I am adding another site to my little favorites list too. http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=3&ThirdPartyClicks=ERA_100408_ARS if you go here and click you can give money to several different things...."child health", "animal rescue", "breast cancer awareness" and others. I chose to get a reminder email each day...I just go and click on everyone and it gives them money....and costs me none. It is a true thing too....I checked it out on snopes. LOL.
