Friday, Friday, Finally

It has been a super long week this week. The weather is bearable now. T & E are good. We took T to see Thomas the Tank Engine. It was a great time. We got a ride from Thomas and T got to meet Sir Topumhat. They had lots of great pre-school activites. E jumped right in and did everything her big brother did. Grandma came with us and it was a great time.
Keith signed his contract with Fresno Unified Last Thursday PTL!!! He'll be at Copper Middle School and this is his foot in the door to Fresno Unified! PTL. We are very relieved and thankful.
Kevin has had a rough week. He took off twice, Tuesday he was to be home at 430, but chose to take off from the boys & girls club and go to the park with friends. Thankfully is uncle James found him a few hours later. Thanks to the B&G club works knowing where the kids go to hang out.

Today the little brat, who was grounded from Tuesday's little adventure, left a note that he needed to think and took off out the window. We are not sure how long he was gone. But long enough to walk from our place to First above Shaw. He gave us so junk story about him Mom and how she is working at some pizza place. And he needed to take to her about stuff. This little story will be verified this weekend. Meanwhile we have no idea what to do. Grounding does not seem to work, taking away privileges, reward for good behavior, nothing seems to work. Prayer is all I have left. I told Keith that Kevin is wearing on our family. Not just stress he creates between him and us, but between Keith and I and how it affects T & E.

Work sucks. I have decided that if things don't change soon, I will be filing a EEO complaint. I have been pushed around and lied to too man times. And I am not going to sit back and be walked over and put down.

We got a call today, Walter messed up the pool at the neighbors house next to the group home he is living at. It would seem that he did quite a number on it and it will cost them money to fix it. We told them not leave him unattended for even a second...and they learned their lesson. I have to say we find it pretty stinkin funny. Welcome to our world Barker Home!!!

Still feeling a little inky, but better. I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend with my family.

We are hoping for good news on AUG 13. Thanks for all the prayers.
