I cannot, for the life of me, understand what's going on in my 13 year old son's head. I swear, he's very smart but lazy, always does above average on the West Tests yet won't study for regular tests that actually count toward his grades. He has ended up with all As and Bs though with a C in English. He gets a better grade in French? :S  Anyway, the problem with him lately is he doesn't want to go to school. Today makes the FIFTH time in a month that he's missed his bus. I know it has something to do with me spending two nights in the hospital last month but with an increase in one medication, I'm fine now. FIVE times now, he's told me that the bus didn't run. Yeah, right because they're irresponsible so they don't run daily. Not to mention, there's several buses that go by our house that he could catch if he missed his. Hi dad took him the second time and I took him the third. It's about ten miles to his school.

I stay up fairly late, most times all night, so I sleep in the mornings and afternoon. He catches his bus at 6:55am but the third morning, he came back to the house at 7:20 and quietly knocked on the door FOR TWO HOURS. You cannot hear anybody at the door, which is in the kitchen, unless they put some effort into knocking. The only reason I knew he was there was because my alarm goes off at 9am to take my meds and I went into the kitchen. We had a long talk that day and he did fine for about THREE days. *sigh* Today, instead of coming back upstairs and knocking on the door, he went down to the basement where there's a tv, recliner, and blanket and stayed down there until the school's auto recording called and said he wasn't there. WTF? I get a little worried when I think my kid is at school yet they tell me he's not. I found him in the basement. Now he'd been attached to me all damn day long because he knows I'm mad at him, until I sent him to his room.

At least I have options to take care of this problem. 1. take him to school every day.  2. let his brother start riding the bus with him (his dad takes him because his passes his school along the way to work) or 3. walk him out to the bus every day.  I swear, he can be so sweet when he wants to be and then other times, he's like a demon spawn.

I'm probably a little over excited about this but it IS Channing Tatum and he's just too damn adorable in this. It sucks that I have to wait until February to see it.  While I can't stand Amanda Seyfried and still haven't seen Dear John (which was on hbo today), Rachel McAdams and Channing are cute together.  Okay...enough rambling.

So, I'm FINALLY getting around to the weight loss thing that I first mentioned on here back in February. I decided NOT to get another blog somewhere else to talk about it but to go ahead and do it here. I pay for this damn journal, I might as well actually use it.

I am going to filter those posts since I'm sure there's some of you who probably won't wanna be bothered by my weight loss posts that will contain a little bit of everything, yes, even bitching. So, if you see my first post in the next couple days, you're not filtered out and if you don't see it and would like to, just let me know.

What is up with this weather??? It's 7:35pm and the temperature is 90 degrees (sorry I don't know what that is in celsius) and with the humidity at 56% it says it actually feels like 97 degrees. It's like a tropical rain forest outside without the actual rain. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 97 which means with the humidity, it'll feel like over 100 degrees. NOW is when I miss the high 90 degree LA weather. At least I could breathe in that hot, waterless air. I see storms popping up here and there, maybe we'll get lucky enough to have one that'll cool us down, not make it worse.

I'd LOVE a new layout. I'm thinking Ghost Adventures but I don't want any depressing black layouts so, I'll keep what I have or look for something else pretty. Who cares if there's a header or not.

Per another video she wants to lose 50 pounds in 5 months. I just can't see how foods loaded with carbs and sugars along with barely any fruits and veggies will result in much weight loss.

I can't wait for this episode. And the end of the promo....SO HOT!

I didn't do a review last week. It was a good episode overall but since there wasn't much to complain about, I didn't feel the urge to post. This week, however, I do feel the urge to post. I need to watch it again at ten though so there could be some additions to this post. Edits/Updates are in BOLD.

( Scruffy Flack can be a good thing.... )

We're back for the new season! Enjoy!
