Thursday

Okay so the day started off with more testing and sitting but did not stay quiet long. Yesterday afternoon while the kids were riding bikes when a car hit my daughter. She is okay but the driver left the accident after asking if my kid was okay. Like a kids is going to say they are really hurt after being hit, they are scared and just want it to be over with. So I called the Little Rock 911 before 6:00 pm last night. They finally showed up at almost 8:00 pm. I had gotten tired of waiting for the police to get there and took her to the hospital.
Now here is my major complaint, one when you call into 911 and tell them it is a hit and run involving a child on a bike and a car, the first question should not be where is the truck sitting. I didn't say anything about a truck. Second, the police should actually show up within minutes not hours.
And although the hospital was great about it, why does it take so long to see a child. And another thing if you have a fever and are an adult go to your doctor the next day. I seen more than one person in the waiting room that I could not see anything wrong with. You know they have after-hour pediatric clinics why don't they have them for adults? Since the ER's are always full of people during the night I was thinking it might be a good idea.
But that is just my thought

Anyway, my daughter is doing fine. She complained about being sore this morning but was playing and running around the ball pit.

So signing off today. See you all later

It's Hump Day

Okay so it is Wednesday also known as Hump Day. YAY!!!!!

I am still here at my kids testing for the Benchmark exams. This year is not so bad, at least I do get internet access. Not that I expect it, but it is nice. I can get work done while they are testing. I mean I could leave and go somewhere but it is just easier to stay at the testing site.

So my son told me a few weeks ago that with his ASVAB scores in the range that they were, they were told that they were not expected to pass the entire course. Now that is a crappy thing to say to someone. It can either be a great motivator or set one up for failure. I see where they would want to do just that. Weed out the weak. I know that sounds bad, but this is tech school for the military and I am not sure I want someone that only half passes to be working on sensitive mechanical parts. But so far he has had two test in which he has scored 90% on. So as long as he keeps it up he has nothing to worry about. I have all the faith in world that he will do great.

Okay so I am addicted to the App store on my Mac. I am in there almost daily and I really try not downloading all these apps. But every once in a while I find one that is great. There is a Math one that I downloaded, we still haven't tried it. I did the flashbox one but I think I am going to like the new one better for spelling. It's Spellboard which lets me make quizzes with their spelling words. I enter the word and it will pronounce for the kids. Which will also help with knowing words and it will give a definition which is even better. We are going to start working on this later today after the test. I can get work out of them and they think they are playing a game.

So I just sit here for 5 hours trying to figure out what to do to keep me entertained and keep me awake. I am blogging to keep me awake and it is something I really need to do more often.

Well I am out for now. I need to work on the calendar, but will let you all know what I think of the two new apps that we got in the next few weeks. I want to see how well they work.

My Son's Graduation

I know this is a little late to be posting since it has been almost a month since he graduated from basic, but better late than never.

AB McEntire
Graduated on March 18, 2010 from Lackland AFB in San Antonio TX. I have created a movie of the Airman's run that happened on March 17, 2011 and the Graduation Parade on March 18, 2011. I have added music to the movie, it just seemed nice to add.

Hope you all like it. I have in the process of creating a photo journal of him to later put on the blog. I will be creating the other two kids one just the same. We are currently in the works to make a kids organization for volunteer work. There are very few that get kids involved. I just hope that kids will stick with it.

So here is the link to the movie gallery:
