World Naked Bike Ride!!!!

Saturday June 12th 2010, @ 10pm. It's going to be fucking awesome!!!! I think that they're still working on a location for the starting point. I will be going again :) I may be going to one of the daytime bike rides also if I can :) Will keep updates on other Naked related bicyle goodness as the information comes to me :) Here's a video from last years bike ride. Warning: Naked Portland People on Bicycles.

Tomorrow I have my Labor Doula workshop. I'm really excited about it. Kyle has been getting on my nerves all morning. All he cares about is Michelle not damaging something it seems. He wont even really let her be a little kid and explore. Nor does he really spend quality time with her. It's depressing. He spends too much time on the internet. Sometimes I wish we didn't have internet at all but I know I need it for school. He'd find another excuse to not spend time with her I think. He needs to grow up and accept responsibility. He doesn't even remember to pay the bills. I can't wait until we cancel the home phone and tv completely. We never watch it. If I couls feasably do it, I'd cancel the internet too. But he'd just play video games instead. I hate how lazy he is. But this is nothing new so I am not going to waste my time complaining about it. He used to be so much more fun before we had Michelle. He was a lot kinder also. It's a pitty how kids make a persons true colors show sometimes. If I were telling this to my mother in-law she would do what she always does. Make up excuses for him. She seems to have a way for that. For making up excuses for anyone she actually gives a shit about in fact. I will be relieved when Kyle leaves for the weekend. I need a break from him and his attitude. I'm tired of him treating Michelle as something that has to be constantly controlled. That's not what raising a person is all about. You have to nurture them and show them love and teach them lessons without YELLING at them constantly telling them to quit being a bad kid. That's just horrible parrenting. I don't get him. I don't agree with his parenting style. He needs to fix his way of thinking because I'm not raising our daughter the way he has been. It shatters her self confidence and makes her too nervous to try new things. If he was raised that way I see why he has no balls nor self confidence. I don't want to raise a child that way.  I WILL NOT. Anyways, I'm just waiting for him to get back from the store with my books and some food before I get a weekend to concentrate in peace for finals and my workshop this weekend.

  It's dead week. I recall in high school I am technically not suppose to have any homework this week. That this week is suppose to completely be dedicated to studying for my finals next week. Yet, I have found that not only do I have homework this week, but I have it in EVERY class. What's up with that? Somehow I have remained really calm through all of this. Most likely because I have my Labor Doula workshop beginning this weekend and because a dear old friend -Trista- just had her third child. Finally a baby girl for her. I am thrilled for her and her daughter is a gorgeous girl. Named Alice. Blonde too. What a beatiful early birthday gift for Trista. I am entriged by all of this Labor Doula information I am reading in the reading binder for that class. It gets me more and more excited every time I read the reading binder!!! The husband has work this weekend in Lincoln City allegedly. It depends if he can find someone to babysit Michelle or not. I obviously wont be home really because the workshops go all day long on Saturday and Sunday.
  My fifteen year old niece Ashley instant messaged me online this morning right after I woke up and said she didn't know what to do. It caught me off guard as I had just woke up and didn't know what she was talking about. Anyways, I'm a bit too lazy to type it and I have the IM window still open so I will just copy and paste as follows:
ashley.cutegirls.miller: Aunt Cheri I don't know what to do!
ashley.cutegirls.miller: Peachy keen!!!

Cheri: ?

What's going on?


ashley.cutegirls.miller: I broke up with my boyfriend and now a lot of people are ganging up on me for it!! :'( :'(


Cheri: Your relationship is none of their business. Why did you break up?


ashley.cutegirls.miller: He was more of a brother than a boyfriend. That's why!


Cheri: Then you did nothing wrong and if they're getting on your case about it tell them your relationship is none of their business and to but the fuck out.


ashley.cutegirls.miller: They said thier going to beat me up- for it though!!


Cheri: If they're getting violent or anything tell a teachre

They can

't harrass you for it. It's against school policy,

They can get expelled for it.

Trust me that's how I got expelled in middle school

different situation but same concept

I can call the school if you need me too if you're too shy


ashley.cutegirls.miller: But the thing is that the nurse, principle are already involved! :'( :'( :'(


Cheri: How so?


ashley.cutegirls.miller: They're worried about a whole different subject!!


Cheri: ? O.o that's wierd


ashley.cutegirls.miller: And either way I'm going to get beat up after school!!

:'( :'(


Cheri: Hold on

ashley.cutegirls.miller: What?

Please don't get involved!!


Cheri: Honey don't worry about it.

Trust me everything will be fine!!

Oi high school huh?

You have like two more years of all of this shit till you're done with it completely. You'll look back and will be in utter disbelief of how stupid some people are.


ashley.cutegirls.miller: Yeah right!


Cheri: Sweety you came to me because you were scared, what did you really want me to do?


ashley.cutegirls.miller: IDK!! :'( :'(



Cheri: It's okay everything will be fine trust me.

I promise.



Anyways, around the time I said hang on to Ashley I called my sister. She's pulling Ash out of school early today because she has no other choice because she has to pick up Cloe and Ray around the same time Ashley gets out of school today. I hope Ashley doesn't hate me for it but what else could I have done really? I live about a half hour away driving on a good day from Ashley's high school and also I'm not on the release form to pick up Ashley from school. Plus it's not my place really. :-/ I hope that everything is going to be okay with her. I know it will eventually but what a silly thing for people to threaten to beat a teenager up over. I mean really.  -_-
