Finishing my thoughts about my paper

I have  been looking on the internet for more articles on sugar linked to asthma but not I am having much luck. I may have to look for a different route or add one more thing to my thesis statement. How can a small paragragh be published on this and noone esle has done any research. I know that it has to take more than one person's finding this link to asthma in order to warn patients. I may have to go to he public library , I just need to find the time to get there. It has been really interesting to read the articles to find out ho much sugar can cause the body to age and that it feeds the cells of cancer or should iIsay the cancer feeds  from the sugar. I just need to get started writing my rough draft so I can get it  in order and express my points for the sugar and sugar substitutes and how it can affect the body. I am not saying that sugar is bad for you ,it all comes down to how much you consume and in what tpye of foods you eat that have sugar in them.

Had a Really Bad Day at Work

Today was really awful I had students  put in the hall and in my office for misbehaving in class. Made it very difficult for me  to get my work done. Then I have rough housing going on in the boys bathroom that escalated into a fight. I think because it was snowing and they had to be in school , it  really had the students thinking more about being home to play in snow rather than being in school.  I had a teacher that  has to take a half day off for Thurday.Then to top off my day I cannot even get home and I have a teacher call in for tommorow. This would not be so bad except I have no subs to call in to work for them. In the morning I have to inform the teachers that are at work that they will have to split up the class and teach  both grades. I pray that chapel day (tommorow) is  alot better than today was.

Family In Tupelo, MS

I promised to email Wanda and tell her about the family I have buried in Tupelo , MS.
M husband's grandmother is buried in what they call the Presley's cemetery I believe it has another name but I cannot remember the name of it at this time. So is some of my Aunt Dorothy's in-laws, the Griffins. My mother-in-law is Elvis Presley's third cousin and my aunt Dorothy's husband is related to Elvis as well , however I forget how , so evey year in August everyone goes to Tupelo for the Presley Family Reunion. It is kinda strange because I have family from my Aunt's side there and family from my Mother-in -laws as well.
I got to go one year and we stayed at Granny Presley's house,which by the way   right  from her street you can walk down and tour Evlis's first house he lived in as a child before his father went to prison for writing a hot check . That was the story that was told to be by my husband's ranny who lived with us for 8 years before she passed away. I saw a documentary on Evlis just this past year that explained why Vernon Presley went prison. He and some others friends raised a pig and sold it and because they were only paid I believe I remember them to $3.00 and they felt it was not fair and changed the check to $30.00. When Gladys was  trying to get Vernon out of jail she had to get a petion  with 500 siganture in order to petition for Vernon's  release. In   this documentary they displayed the petition and I saw Granny's siganture , Pernie Wilma Lovelady. I was blown away, however I could not ask Granny or my Mother-in -law becauces God had called them home. My husband had no clue , he is not impressed about being related to Elvcis. The funny thing that happen to us when drove from Lancaster , Texas all the to Tupelo , MS to bury Granny  ( inside of a minii van ) at 2:00 am as we were pulling into the funeral home ,we were stopped by the police. They wanted to know why we were driving slow and of there we several cars following each other at that time of the morning. We exlplained that we were  delivering our Grandmother to the funeral home. This trip was long and frustating because they made so many stops  ( I was in the vehicle with my mother-in-law ,who chained smoked)  and the last time we stopped I told them,Ya'll  Do Know Granny Ain't On Ice !  It was the month of July so it was hot. I could write alnight about the stories Granny told me about Elvis but I leave everyone hanging for now . Have any questions I try to answer them with best of my recollection.

Having A Rough Start With My Third Term

It has been rough for me this term , I started it out sick and it has been hard for me to stay up with my school work. book is online and I am having a hard time adjusting to that.  One of my classes the book is online . I prefer a real book to have in my hands to look at when I need to. My academic adivsor says that they may make all the books online. If this happens I may rethink online classes. If I am going to pay for a book I should have a choice to have the real thing. I have also had a very busy tiime this month at work.  I have been getting next years handbooks ready , handling the Valentine fundraiser for the high school class. Dealing with a very particular adminstrator that has made me tpye a program for our Black History program so many times I wanted to pull my hair out. I thought I understood how to write the scientific paper , however after the seminar I am little confused again. I looked at the sample rough draft and it is only four pages so I am wondering how does that cover the amount of pages we are required to write for the final paper. I know that I will eventually figure it out as well as how this blogging system works. I feel like I am an idiot trying to understand the Google Reader part. I guess the two connect some how I am not really sure, anyone reading this and can shed some light on how to understnd this blogging system  I would greatly appreciate some helpful tips , directions, etc.

My week at school

First I would like to tell  everyone about my picture. I posted this picture because I do not get to dress up very often and I chaperoned the Prom in 2008-2009 for the highschool class.  I do not like pictures of myself either , the pictures just reminds me of the weight I have gained.
This week has been very busy here at the private school , we have had to bake cakes , cookies, and cupcakes, and make lolipops for our Valentine fundraiser.  We delivered everything yesterday because of the bad weather. I am exhausted , here it is Friday and there was no school due to the 12 inches of snow that Texas got. I am at work! I stopped working long enough to do a little school work. I have my  mind on my term paper and I am trying to figure out which way to present the necessity of proper nutrition. I need to write about nutrition in some form because I am passionate about it and know that I can write a long enough paper to turn in. Mrs. Wanda will probally think ,she does not know where to stop talking about nutrition.
