My daughter and her NOT so wonderful school!
Okay so all semester you have heard me talk about my daughter and how the school and the teacher treat her. Well, I went in front of the school board Thursday night and I explained everything and now have to wait until spring break is over to get an answer. But, hopefully this teacher gets fired if not I am going to the media. They went so far as to call welfare on my daughter saying she had missed too many days of school. They said she had missed like 23 days when the welfare lady came over she realized the school had only marked down that my daughter had missed 8 days and late 12. Welfare lady was wonderful she talked to my daughter and said we had a case for verbal assault on a minor. I am still debating on whether or not to go ahead and press charges on this teacher. Don’t get me wrong I am all for it however I wonder if I do press charges the school will do anything they can to get all of my children out of their school. Anybody have any suggestions? I hope all goes well; I wish they would just put the best interest of my daughter first! Okay see all you after spring break!
IRS pays Enron whistleblower $1.1 million
I have now found a new way of making money in the news. In the news is how this anonymous person was responsible for tuning Enron in. The Washington post newspaper said “Before Enron was publicly exposed as a financial house of cards; a whistle blower tipped the Internal Revenue Service that the company was using abusive tax shelters to generate fictitious income, a law firm representing the informant said Tuesday. Now, more than a decade later, the IRS has paid that whistle blower a $1.1 million reward, the law firm said. “If the IRS had pursued this information in 1999 when my client first informed them of these abusive tax shelters, the government might have realized the depth of Enron’s problems and perhaps taken steps that might have helped avoid a total meltdown,” lawyer Erika A. Kelton of the Washington firm Phillips & Cohen said in a news release.”
Okay so now he or she is a millionaire. I want to be that person because according to another online sight through msn states: “The payout came from the new IRS Whistle blower Office, but was made under prior, less generous guidelines. Those older rules, which still apply in some instances, call for a reward of up to 15% of the money that the IRS recovers based on the information. The whistle blower office was revamped in 2006. Now when whistle blower information about alleged tax cheating leads to IRS collection of unpaid taxes and the subsequent recovery amount exceeds $2 million, the whistle blower can pocket up to 30% of the recovered money.” Okay so, if anybody is out there frauding the IRS for millions of dollars let me know so I can report you and get my retirement at 28.
My main point of this article is to say that see doing right thing pays off! It might take a decade but it’s still worth it in the long run! I would wait a decade for 1.1 million dollars.

Fallen Heroes!
Alright today I want to talk about fallen soldiers of the wars. Being a military wife I have seen and heard first hand fallen soldiers that don’t get the recognition they need. I think there is more that we can do like this website I found. The website is Tribute to Dead Heroes: they This site was put together for all the heroes and newspaper articles on them of past wars, and I think we need to do that for are fallen soldiers including non military personal that died starting on 9-11. I think this would bring a lot of peace and comfort to their families. There was one fallen solider in my husband battalion. You might of heard about his death about 6 years ago or maybe not but, he was from around Joplin, joined the military like most to help pay for college and as soon as he got over there he got sick and died. What the rest of the world doesn’t know is that Josh N. I do not want to give his last name because it might give out a location on an army base. See, this fallen hero died of sickness but, he still was a hero and the battalion he was in named the base they where building after him. It would just be nice to give a little more to these families.
Fox news.com has a good article about a hero they say “NEW ORLEANS — Hugh Thompson Jr., a former Army helicopter pilot honored for rescuing Vietnamese civilians from his fellow GIs during the My Lai massacre, died early Friday. He was 62.” His story wasn’t really told until this article told it. It makes you wonder why we wait so long to give the recognition to those who deserve it. I ask you that when you run into a person and you know they are a war veteran, that you just say thank-you and listen to their response. The older ones will tell you thank-you and walk away without letting you know what they are really thinking. I only say this because I was at a doctor’s appointment one day and I say an elderly guy wearing a WWII hat on and I walked up to him and his wife and asked if I could have the honor of shaking his hand and he smiled for a second and said you must be a very young army wife and I said yes sir. He shook my hand and said thank-you then walked on for his appointment. I sat down and waited for my turn, while I was waiting his wife came out and was crying and came up to me and said thank-you. I was puzzled and said I am the one who should be thanking you two. She said that the day before her husband was ranting and raving like he had so many times before the day before saying that people today don’t appreciate anything anymore and when I said thank-you he realized there was hope for the future and that people did care about his sacrifices. I have been there before. Before I married my husband I never thought twice about the war and the affects it will always have the people who served and their families. So, take the time and say thank-you.
On the last story I will share with you what they have written and I leave you with the hero of the moment. The Edinburgh news published a story back in July 31, 2008 and reads: “Hero shot dead in Afghanistan had followed dad into Army. THE Edinburgh soldier killed this week in Afghanistan had followed his father's footsteps into the army. Sergeant Jonathan Mathews of The Highlanders, 4th Battalion the Royal Regiment was killed by a single gunshot while on foot patrol in southern Afghanistan. The 35-year-old followed his father, a soldier in the Royal Highland Fusiliers, into Army life. His parents, Anne and William Mathews, who lived in Penicuik when their son was born, now live in Irvine with their other son, David. Sgt Mathews' father told the Evening News: "We have no comments to make other than to say that he died doing what he loved and we are very proud of him."Writing on a tribute website Army colleague Dave Baxter, who trained with Sgt Mathews, described him as "a true friend and inspiration to all who knew him" and "a one in a million guy". It has emerged Sgt Mathews joined up at the age of 21 originally with the Royal Scots, and on completion of basic training was posted to Fort George, Inverness. A few years later, he was posted to Glencorse where he met his wife Shona. The couple later married at Edinburgh Castle.” I hope you remember the war is still going on and we still need your prayers to bring today’s heroes home!!

My new complaints!
Gripe of the week! Why do cops think they are better than civilians? I am so frustrated! What a week. A woman has an abortion behind her boyfriends back and buries the baby in the back yard. The boyfriend finds out tells the police and what do they do about it? Nothing! They laugh and joke around about it. Also, I found it disturbing just because I seen on the news that a fifteen year old little girl had a miscarriage and buried her baby and she is looking at 20 years in prison. Have I gone mad or is this world going wrong because a 19 year old vs. a 15 year old; and the 15 year old goes to prison while another one goes free. Whatever! Onto more issues, why do police think its ok to help a mother who only wants her child for money hide a baby away from the biological father? I am a mother of three and I would do anything for them but, I know there are mothers out there that are not good mothers and only get pregnant to either keep the father around or use the child as a paycheck. UGGHHHH! Thank-God for home work! I get to let all this off my chest and I can get feedback on what is irritating me to death. Let me have all the feedback you can give me. See this blog might make no sense to anyone but, since I have been writing Gripe sessions I feel a lot better when I get done writing it!! I love getting a grade for complaining about what’s going on in my world. Like I said you might not get it and I might ramble but, the more I type the more I feel better! So, anyway if you know of a great child custody lawyer let me know because my friend has a great lawyer but, never know might be a better one out there! Also, please feel free to tell me how you feel about a father raising his daughter on his own. Good or bad I will take all your opinions at this point I need them because I say that a child’s place is with their mother but, in this case I have seen firsthand that she doesn’t even spend time with her child. Somebody else always has the baby.

Stolen tow truck, police cruiser crash
Stolen tow truck, police cruiser crash
Springfield police said a man driving a stolen tow truck caused an accident with a police cruiser this morning. The man in the stolen truck failed to yield at a stop sign and coincidently pulled into the path of the police car, said police spokesman Cpl. Matt Brown. No serious injuries were reported from the accident. The tow truck was apparently being pursued by an employee of Preferred Auto Repair which owned the truck and reported it stolen about one-half hour before the crash.
Jeff Coop said he followed the tow truck after he saw the vehicle pass the auto shop.
Coop said he saw the tow truck pull out in front the police cruiser. As the stolen truck overturned at the intersection of College Street and Scenic Avenue, the driver was ejected. Apparently unharmed, the driver tried to flee on foot. Coop said he chased the driver for about a block before he caught and “choke slammed” him. Although shaken by the wreck, the driver of the patrol car, Officer Mark Riggins, also gave chase and made the arrest, Brown said. A witness on College Street said he saw the tow truck traveling westbound at high speeds and blowing through stop signs. Seconds later, the witness said he saw the same truck travelling eastbound at high speeds and being pursued by another vehicle before hearing the crash. “I heard that big boom and I thought, ‘Oh, he bought it,’” said Clifton Jewell.
A Springfield Police Department spokesman says the tow truck was going about 90 miles per hour when it collided with the police cruiser. The truck was eastbound on College Street. The driver of the truck, Justin Wooliver, was charged late Friday afternoon with unlawful possession of a firearm, first-degree tampering with a motor vehicle (a charge commonly used for a stolen vehicle), and leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident. A judge set his bond at $100,000.
When does the ignorance end? Really you stole a tow truck... what were you thinking? I wonder many days as I watch the news and read about it if anybody has a clue anymore. Every day it seems like people are committing dumber crimes. When do you believe this madness will end or do you believe people will keep this going? How many cop shows are on TV showing how they catch criminals. They need to bring back that show America’s dumbest criminals. I mean hello the cop was even after you. So, to all those planning on stealing a car or tow truck remember stay away from cops and look out for them so you don’t hit one!! To the poor officer who got hit, I apologize for ignorant criminals and I hope your okay. To the criminal that hit the poor police officer if you’re going to steal a car or vehicle remember it’s against the law!!!
