My consumer report
I have been trying to decide if buying a Shark would be a good investment for quite a while now. I have gone on web sites, nothing. Tried to go on consumer report web site but you have to pay. I don't know how they can charge people for that when you can go to library and look through the consumer report for free. I don't know any one who owns one because they are like me and want to read a consumer report before the purchase. Well last week this purple steam mop went on sale and I just couldn't resist. So far I like it. It is a little flimsy filling when you move it from left to right. I really like how it got the area around my stove clean. There was a grease film that collected dirt and grime and no amount of scrubbing made it come clean, until I used the shark. I have noticed the more I use it the more it gets my floor clean. It's not industrial strength by any means but so far so good. Next I want to buy the hand held shark for cleaning other areas.

Strange Dream
The only reason I am blogging this is cuz I want to find out where this came from. Usually my dreams have a reason like I watched a CSI show or discovery channel or a conversation or something like that. So here goes my bizzar dream I had last nigh...
Jer's parents were with us and we wanted to go out. There was much talk about a carnival type deal going on down at the pier so we thought we'd check it out. People were every where and we went in. At first it was just a normal walk on a pier and then it started to look different. The buildings were a gold and orange color and they kinda looked like the castle on Aladdin. There were many of these buildings crowding both sides of the street. At the end of this street it was a pier that looked out to the ocean and you could see a floating island that had yet another one of these building but it was shorter and slightly different. The water was a strange black tar and I turned around and there were all these people working hard labor kind of work. Hauling water in jugs on their head and making the bricks they used to build the buildings all by hand. The people were all black. Now I am not talking African American here. They were very very black and they almost looked fake like statues that move. They were wearing hardly any clothing and it was all yellow and orange. Then I noticed Bri was missing. We decided to get everyone to one central location before I headed out looking for Bri so I could find my way back to them. There was a food court that had all the tourist type of people there eating. Jer's folks got a table and I went out to find Bri. I called his cell and he was disoriented and couldn't tell me where he was and he had eaten some of the food there. I got Jer to help me look for him and we just had no luck. I called his cell again and told him to meet us at the truck. Jer and i headed out to the truck but no matter how much we walked we stayed the same distance from the parking lot. Then I noticed that lots of people were entering but no one was leaving. That was suspicious to me. Finally we caught up with Bri and he seemed to be coming out of a trans and started to make some sense when he talked. Immediately one of the black people came up and tried to give him some more food. It smelled so good but I made him refuse. The person went a little crazy not knowing what to do because he wouldn't eat the food. We walked away to meet up with the others and they were eating the food. They were very disoriented and couldn't think. Jess was missing. Then I woke up.
Very weird dream. I can't stop thinking about it. Very vivid too. And another thing that is weird is I woke up several time during this dream and every time I went back to sleep I pick up right where I left off. Which never happens.

An emotional roller coaster!!
Thursday was parent teacher conference. The teachers in the junior high seemed to always hate their jobs and hate the kids. They were very rude to me and disrespectful to say the least. So I have become defensive. I had been working myself up all day to walk into Brian's High School and defend him and tell a few teachers just what I though of their comments. Well I was pleasantly surprised at the comments. Every teacher there truly like my son. One teacher even told me out of all the students she has ever taught she can only say she loves about 20 of them and Brian is one she loves. Comments I heard over and over again were...
Brian is...
very respectful
a delight to have in class
incredible smart
funny
sweet
genuinely nice
My heart swelled so much I just though it would burst in my chest right there. I was having to walk away from teachers to cry and compose myself before going onto the next teacher and then the phone call came in. Brian was at a friends house and supposed to meet me at the school. He forgot to leave on time and was running very late. He calls and I hear angry voices yelling into the phone. "MOM I WAS HIT BY A CAR. I AM SO MAD. THE IDIOT HIT ME!! I ALMOST FOUGHT HIM!!" I was freaking out big time and couldn't think. I was already a basket case and just couldn't focus so I called Jer and told him. When he called back he says things are ok sounds like Bri wasn't really hurt and he would be at school soon. When he showed up he was fine. The guy did run over his foot and hit him with the side mirror. He was more angry than anything. He was only sore for a couple of hours and now he thinks he is so tough he can take on a car and win!!! Great that's all I need is for my teenage son who thinks he's too tough to die as it is to believe he can take on a car!!
