Lesson learned on posting personal info....

...It brings about weirdo's.....Sorry, I had to change the names of everyone in my blog...locations and names will now have to be concealed.  Some crazy started asking me insane questions .....a little too personal and close to home.  So.....i'll still be real....still be posting pictures....but if you're new...you just won't be getting our names.
  I like to think the majority of the population is nice....good.  Non-creepy.  There really are people out there who will  try to get personal information...They really will cyber-stalk you.  So i'm not making it easy anymore!
   It started and ended on Facebook.   Some guy for 3 days straight asked personal questions.  I thought he knew my husband so at first I just answered the basics "How are you?"  "How's Husband?"...It wasn't until I started getting "Whats husband do?"  "When's husband coming home?"....Then I started ignoring this person...so the messaging started to get desperate on their part.  I ended up creeped out...deleting a bunch of people on FB and changing everything (even albums) to only viewable by me or people I really do know...personally...not acquaintances.  I have no more acquaintances on my page.
  Point being...I learned my lesson....double check names..because if they are the same or familiar....might not be who you think they are.  Now....I'll stop being naive.  Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Cluster headaches and Pre-K Home Visits

Feels like it's been forever since i've blogged.  But cluster headaches are no fun.  I had neve rheard of a "cluster headache" until a couple weeks ago.  When I decided I was going to die.  Yes, I knew I could not possibly be in that much pain and not die soon.  SO I went to the ER.  The headache stayed with me for 4 weeks.....4 weeks of pain words can't even describe.  Now the headache cycle as i've been told they're called has subsided and things are returning to normal.  I'm still awaiting a call from the specialist.
   My kids started school in this chaos...one in kindergarten and one to pre-school.  Girly's first week of kindergarten went without a hitch or even a tear (those came later).  Dear Son 1, after an evaluation and a meeting with his teacher is to start pre-school next week....AFTER a home visit from his teacher.  She just casually through that out as we were leaving her classroom.  I have been wondering ALL week....what does she want to know?....why come to the house?....should I cook?....should I buy pop on the chance she may like to drink one (we don't drink pop or keep it in the house unless my Dad is visiting)?......Is she MAD....we have 3 kids...this house is covered in toys...crafts....we DON'T entertain often because our home is set up just for the kids.  To be comfortable and safe for them.  The couches are stained with juice, jam and ...possibly anything else you can think of.  I have play-dough and moon sand on my book shelf out of reach.  Our home is decorated in our 3 favorite subjects..Girly, Dear Son 1 and Dear Son 2.  And there's a BIG gun safe right behind the front door.  Yeah, we have guns...big ones and lots of them.  Our we being judged??  I keep trying to remind myself that she most likely just wants to get to know us.  I've finally decided that..NO..I will not purchase pop...I may make some sandwiches..but that's just being I good hostess (I'm southern..to not would be like slamming the door in her face to me)...And I hope she has excellent hearing....cause our home is always loud ....but always fun.
