Rick's Personal Blog
2004-09-20 - 2:18 p.m.
So, after all this time, I've actually come back to
where it all started. RES6564 is back in action. Just a little history, but this
was my original blog that I started over 3 years ago. I've done this to separate
my political views from my personal life. I really should have done it ages ago.
Perhaps now I won't be so conflicted as to what to write about. But you should
still read my Political blog.... because I'M RIGHT.... and I KNOW IT ALL. ;) Katie is well into her 7th month of ADD treatment.
Her medication was spotty over the summer because she's not exactly the type
that will take her medicine unless she is constantly reminded. Nevertheless, we just got some interims and she is
doing absolutely fantastic. She's getting B in Science, English, a C in social
Studies, and (insert drum roll here)... an "A" in Math. (insert theme from Rocky
here) Cheryl and I have never seen her do so well. I asked
Cheryl if she thinks that the Medicine is helping. She shrugged and said, "I
don't know". That's her typical cop out answer. So then I asked, "Well, do you
want to take her off of it?" Without batting an eye, she said, "NO!!!" There are some other things that need to be taken
into account: My sons have been like wind up toys. I've never had
any problem with either of them.... ever. Katie and the other hand is my parents
revenge. If you could ever believe it, I was a problem child.
I got into terrible trouble when I was her age. When Cheryl was pregnant with
Tom, I jokingly asked my Dad if he was going to curse me, in other words are you
going to wish that I get a child just like me, to which he replied, "Oh, I think
that would be appropriate..." (Thanks Dad.) Being somewhat dismayed, I called
and asked my Mom the same question, and she replied, "Oh Rick... I wouldn't wish
that on anyone!" (Thanks... Mom) Later, Rick
