Marsha Rozalski / My Life ~ My Blog

I guess I am so busy I don’t even realize that it’s been while over a week since I last blogged.  CJ is now doing Tennis and Joe is doing track.   Of course the practices are at different times so I am running all over the place!  Joe stays after school but  CJ does not so I have to go get him, then take CJ back to the school at 4:30 and pick up Joe while I am there.  Then go back to the school to get CJ at 6pm!  It’s crazy!  I can’t wait till summer is here, LOL!

After Chuck’s grandma passed away, we all got really sick.  That lasted about a week.  Driving around in Chuck’s semi got REALLY old so we fixed my back bearings and I now have my truck back, Thank God!!!  I can now drive myself places and I can go to quilting and out to lunch with the girls again.

Chuck finally is getting checks from the wood he sold over a month ago so we have some money for a little while.  I hope Chuck puts an add in the newspaper so he can pick up some roofing jobs this year.  Last year we really didn’t have much roofing work.

Other than that, I really haven’t been doing anything.  LOL!

This video shows the winner of ” Ukraine ’s Got Talent”,  Kseniya Simonova, 24,  drawing a series of pictures on an illuminated sand table showing how ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during World War II.  Her talent, which admittedly is a strange one, is mesmeric to watch. The images, projected onto a large screen, moved many in the audience to tears and she won the top prize of about $130,000.00. The Great Patriotic War, as it is called in Ukraine , resulted in one in four of the population being killed with eight to 11 million deaths out of a population of 42 million.

Umm, wonder if I should coach people the way he does??? LOL!!!

Well, there is no school today as it’s snowing and blowing and won’t be stopping till late tonight.  I was going to keep them home anyway.

Yesterday, after we dropped the boys off at school we had to head into Ashtabula and get some stuff done.  We got home at noon and we were both exhausted!  The boys had some tutoring after school today so we called and had my in-laws pick them up and bring them home.  It sucks to be driving around in Chuck’s big semi all the time.

Oh, not sure I said but my truck is down (of course).  My rear bearings on the passenger side go out every 16 to 18 months.  We think it was in an accident before we bought it but no one ever told us.  So, we have to replace it then I can drive it again.  So, we are in Chuck’s semi 2 seater diesel truck till then.  Nothing like dropping the kids off at school in that thing!  LOL!

So, his parents picked them up and brought them home and stayed for dinner.  Joe came home VERY sick.  He went right to bed and stayed there and is STILL in bed at 10am.  CJ has a lot of homework as does Joe because they missed Wed. for the funeral.  So, I was going to keep them home anyway to have the weekend to get everything done so this snow storm is a blessing!  I hope Joe starts feeling better, I think it’s just a bad cold.  CJ also can’t breathe too well this morning.

So, we are in till Monday.  The snow is still coming down and it’s blowing like crazy.  The snow is drifting really bad and it will be hard to get anywhere.

Chuck’s grandma (Gram) had a massive stroke and a heart attack on Wed. night.  He got a call a little after midnight and went to the hospital.  She was unresponsive and it didn’t look good.  She held on till Sunday morning.  So, viewing is tomorrow from 2-4 and 7-9 in Linesville, PA.  Going to be a long day.  Kids will stay home, but on Wed. we are keeping them from school as there is another viewing from 9am to 11am at the church and then the funeral service right after.  She is being buried in Linesville PA.  Another long day.

Last Friday at our church was egg making day.  We made 1,017 eggs!  We sell them for $5 and we have peanut butter, maple walnut and coconut.  I was there from 9am till 7:30pm.  I was wiped out!

I took this cute test and I am a SHEEP!  LOL!!!  SO FUNNY!  But a lot of it is very true and some I wish wasn’t.

The boys don’t have school today or Monday.  I dropped them off at 8am at the Church for Winterfest and they won’t be back till Sunday night.  I hope they have a good time, it’s with the youth group and they are going up to Rochester, NY a 3 hour drive but they are taking a Coach Bus.  Not sure if Chuck and I are going to do much as funds are VERY tight till we get paid which will be a little over a week.

On Monday when I was at SNAP there was a story on the “Today” show about “The Choking Game” and the week before I watched an Intervention Epsiode about Huffing and I decided that I would talk to the boys principal about having some speakers come in to speak with the kids about these issues (which is FREE) because it IS happening in their school.  She basically told me that there was no time in the schedule to hold an assembly no matter how good the cause! WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!!

I even told her it was happening on school grounds!!!!!!!  HELLO!!!!!!!!!  A couple months ago Joe told me a story, at the time I didn’t think too much about it, why? I have no clue but now it bothers me!  Him and maybe 4 other boys in the locker room decided to play the choking game.  One knew how and said hey this is so cool who wants to try it?  Joe didn’t want to, Thank God!!  The boy who did try it his legs buckled out from under him and his eyes rolled back into his head and he was twitching horribly!  The boys got VERY scared and started slapping him to wake him up.  They were all horrified and swore to NEVER do that again.  Joe told me about this when it happened and I shared with him the time I played this game.

Yup, I played it too when I was about his age.  I was at a sleepover and the girl having the party said about the same thing, hey this is so cool do you want to try it?  We all did it over and over that night.  I have NO CLUE where the parents were at this party!  These were all girls from church too, go figure.

They have youtube videos to show kids how to play it!  I am NOT going to stop until someone gets into that school to talk about these issues with the kids.  If she won’t listen to me, then I will go to the superintendent and if  he doesn’t listen to me then I will go before the board of education.  Kids are dying and no one seems to care because they think it can’t happen here.  I always thought school shootings would never happen in my school either, WRONG!  It did and a teacher died!

This was one of the story’s on the Intervention Episode:  Jeff Williams is a police office in the Cleveland, Ohio, area. On March 2, 2005, Kyle Williams, age 14, was found dead in his bed by his mother, Kathy. Kyle died from asphyxiation resulting from inhaling Dust Off, a popular brand of compressed air used in cleaning electronic components.   (Story Here)  If you want to watch the episode Click Here.

Okay, enough of my rant, LOL!
