Lots to say, little time

I'm going to keep this short and sweet because I'm at work. I'm done for they day but don't want to be doing personal stuff on the computer for too long.

Here's our last week in a nutshell. The kids got their haircut. Jordan colored hers a rich chocolate brown. It's really pretty. Devan got lots cut off but left a few long strands. It looks soooo much better and now all these curls are popping out! I'll show pictures soon.

We are having issues with our computer and my computer repair guy hasn't called me back. Yeah, the one who invited me to lunch, that guy. He won't return my call now so I guess I'm going to have to find another computer repair place. There is one by work that will be really convenient that I just found. That is the reason for the long delay on updating you on our lives.

There was some major excitement last week at Jordan's school. There was a huge fight. The Hispanic kids seem to cause a lot of problems here and three of them took on a guy that sits at Jordan's table in art class. The halls were basically empty since it was just before lunch was ending and there were words passed. The three boys started a fight with Jordan's "friend" and two of them ended up running off while the third boy proceeded to get his ego bruised, his head split open, and knocked unconcious...then he started seizing. The cops were called, the ambulance came, the school was in lockdown, all four kids involved got a special police escort out of the building, and the rumors started flying! Some of the kids had already left the lunchroom so there were a few kids about but hardly anyone actually saw the fight. Jordan saw her tablemate in the hall and the only damage she could see on him was a red spot on his forehead that will probably just bruise. By the time the rumor hit Devan's school on Monday the boy in the hospital had died from getting stabbed! Gotta love junior high and high school embellishments.

There is snow today and the kids don't have school. My car had a solid, thick layer of ice on it this morning so I wasn't able to open my door let alone unlock it. It took a couple hours and Devan to knock the ice off and finally get the back back door open to climb through and unlock it. I wasn't the only one late for work. :) That's twice now that it has gotten so cold here that my locks have frozen and I've had issues getting into my car. I wasn't paying attention to the news or I would have left my car unlocked. Well, lesson learned.

Homeward bound. Nite.
