Getting closer

On Saturday I advised my teacher, while preparing for my mock board test, that I was past my 1200 hour mark, making me eligible for applying for my State Baord exam. She told me that I needed to apply today and that I had to contact the administration department to get the ball rolling. Like I didn't have enough going on. She also told me that it was my responsibilty to do it and that I could be penalized for not applying sooner. Great!
So I finished my test with 30 minutes to spare and was able to talk to a girl in admin. I was given all the forms and gave them all necassary information to send to Sac and hopefully get my date soon.
Although this has been going on for so long it seems like it has become my job. Everday I go to the same place, with the same people, preforming the same services. It will be wierd graduting and moving on. I am excited and nervous and all kinds of other emotions.

That freaking neighbor!

Yes...it was going too smoothly at the Lomeli house. Yesterday about 4:30 we get a ring at the front door. David looks out the peep hole and turns to me and asks, "Is that crazy neighbor". I check and "Yes, it is". GREAT.
So he opens the door and she is on her best behavior. "Hello Sir, can I ask you a favor". David replies, "No". He lets her know that she is not welcome on our property and that she needed to leave. She points out to David that we have security cameras and she wanted to know if they were working. David replied, "No". Of course the freaking cameras are working, we spent $400 on those sucker to protect our family from her!
Anyway, after David repeatedly telling her to get off our property and that she was not welcome at our house, she finally left. We saved the incident on a zip drive so we can refer to it if need be.
All thru dinner David was deep in thought. He tells me that he wishes he had said more to her while she was over. He would have liked to remind her that she has threatened me numerous times, she has ranted and raved about how she was going to beat me up, thrown stuff in our front yard and been a devil of a neighbor. He didn't and it was probably a better choice.
I was expecting something to happen last night to our house or property, but amazingly, nothing happened. I guess she is saving up to get us next time.

UGH

I picked up Gavin today and since that time my house has been chaotic. He no sooner got in the car and it started. He has whined for the last half hour. He won't share or play with his brother. He is acting like a little a brat!
I am so irritated I could scream. He has been sitting in his bed for the last 5 minutes and even then he is yelling from his top bunk, "Momma, Quinten told me...." or "Momma, Quinten just...". Ugh!
So now Quinten is screaming in his bed because he retaliated with violence and he was placed there, luckily without force because I would have used the amount of force necassary to affect my achieved goal, which in this case is peace. I would not have been peaceful. Duck tape sounds like a logical amount of force.
There are some days when school is a place I don't want to be, but today I would like to go early please!
