Birthday weekend

Hello all!
Today I slept all day just about. I was so tired from this past weekend. Saturday was my birthday. We celebrated on Sunday. My mom planned a party for my 30th birthday. We had lots of food and good music. I danced and I must say that my thighs are killing me! My son's birthday was yesterday so we drove up to Chattaooga to go to the Aquarium. The night before I did not sleep so I was very exhausted. I had to leave my 7 week old kitten home alone. I am so happy to see that she did not mess the house up.

I feel like dropping out

I don't know, it seems as if anything that I touch or attempt to do I always fail. I did so good in the first couple of terms, but now that I get here in Anatomy&Physiology and CompII it seems as if I will never pass. I mean, Geez this is my second time taking a&P and the last time I passed but I did not get a high enough grade to go on. The last time the professor said that I had copied, but I did not. There was some things that was looked up of course because it was on a subject that was not common knowledge. Now in this term I am still being accused. My subject was obese children and the many dangers that pose upon fat kids. I now fat kids and as a matter of fact a recent report says that Alabama is the "fatest" state, so you know I see fat kids all the time. My son is seven, soon to be eight and he has body image problems. He is not fat by a long shot, but because of teasing at school he comes home everyday and work out. He takes exercise to the extreme. This breaks my heart to see him like this because like I said, he is not fat. Somewhere down the line someone has mentioned something about his belly (which is slightly round) and he has been on the rampage every since. Now Shemar, will not eat his favorite foods with out taking a jog afterwards. In my eyes I see him as slightly odd simply because that is just not the way a typical 8 year old should act. If I feel this way then imagine how other children must conceive him. He already has to deal with teasing because of my skin color, why should have to suffer with name calling because of a weight problem that he does not have. I am very bright and as a child I was teased for having fair skin. I can not help the fact that my grandmother is biracial which leads to lighter skin. My mom is light skinned as well. I thought that by now that would be done and over with but as I see that is still a problem. I just pray that my son does not end up one of those bad kids on the front of a newspaper because of all the teasing.

Easter Weekend

All I have been doing this week is trying to make sure that my final papers sound good enough to turn in. I have read them a thousand time already.
Sunday was Easter. My son asked why he did not receive a Easter basket. Well, I consider myself to be a Christian, although I do not attend church every Sunday. I believe in God and the Bible. I explained to him that I refused to give in the commercialismof the holiday. A Easter bunny, Easter eggs and those yellow chicks have absolutely nothing to do with the true meaning of Easter. When I was a child I recieved baskets, but as an adult I just question the commercialism of it all.
