David's School Made The News

Valley high school student arrested for gun on campus

PHOENIX -- Police say a Mountain Pointe High School student is in juvenile custody after he reportedly brought a handgun to class in a backpack and told friends he was going to use it in an after-school fight.

The name of the 17-year-old student is being withheld because he's not an adult.

Police say the teenager faces one felony and two misdemeanor charges, including underage weapons possession, bringing a firearm onto school grounds and misconduct involving a weapon.

The incident happened Wednesday at the Ahwatukee school.

Other students reported to school administrators that the student told them he had a .45 caliber handgun in his backpack.

School security removed the student from class, took the backpack away and found the gun.

I have submitted my first Lab assignment for one of my classes! YAY! Plus I submitted a pic I took up in the White Tanks and got extra credit! Woo hoo!!!

And that's all I have to say about that....

GREEN DAY!!!

OMG! That was the best concert I have ever, ever been to! They put on a great show! It was even better than their American Idiot tour. We drove to one of the Park and Rides about 5:00pm on Saturday, hopped on the light rail and then had dinner at the Hard Rock. A few drinks later (I was feeling gooooood) we walked over to US Airways center for the show. Franz Ferdinand opened and were excellent. However, Green Day... WOW! That is all I can say! It was non-stop for almost 3 hours! Jumping, arm waving... I felt like I had hit the gym hard when I woke up Sunday morning. :) So cool! Highly recommend going to see them! And I so love Billie Joe!

What a week!

I started Sunday okay - we went to see Harry Potter, which was excellent. But by Sunday evening, I was feeling a little off. I figured it was due to popcorn and soda. Blah! I woke up Monday morning with a migraine... a bad one. I was so sick! Tuesday I got up and still have the migraine. I went to physical therapy anyway but then came home and slept. I felt better so went to work on Wednesday. Yesterday it tried to come back, but I took another Imitrex while at work and it went away again. I'm still having other issues, but at least the headache is gone!
Today has been a slooooowwwwww day. Tonight at 6:00pm there is someone coming over to look at a puppy. YAY! I have been trying to detach myself from them, but it isn't working. They are so darn cute. I told the guy $150. I'd prefer the $200, but the cost of those little cuties is going up because they are eating more! I go through a lot of puppy chow!!!!
I had Alex's "Meet the Teachers" night last night. I am proud of him. He is taking Algebra this year. If he passes the mid-term and final exams, he gets high school credit. If he passes both exams with an 80% or better, he will go into Honors Geometry next year. If he only passes one with an 80% or both are below that, (but still passing), he'll go into regular Geometry. I have David's thing on Monday.
I start ASU on Monday. Woo hoo! Both classes look great. They will be more work than UoP, but interesting. That is the key!!
I'll close out with pictures of puppies.... as usual. Sorry, I posted more than I expected. Can't help it. Hiram, Sharkey and Smokey Bear all need homes.

Grocery Shopping

David went with me to the store the other day. I like the fact that despite being a teenager, he still can be goofy. Here is a picture taken from my phone to prove my point. This isn't the first time he has done this. Once he did it at Target too. I love his face in this picture. He was totally posing and loved the idea that the picture would get out!

A little humor

Some good ones in here....

New Car

We got a new car! It is a 2009 Hyundai Elantra. Love it! I'll post pictures soon!

Seems like a long time....

So much has happened since the 30th! Wow! Okay, so let's see....

I have registered for 2 classes at ASU and start on August 24. The classes I am registered for are:
Dimensions of Liberal Studies

Landform Processes

Two of the puppies are now at new homes. I knew Penelope was going to a new home on Saturday, but the other one was a surprise. I had scheduled too much on Friday. David's therapy was at 3:30 and Penelope's vet visit for shots was at 4:45. So I dropped David off, scheduled his appointments for next week, went home, got Arynn and Penelope and headed back to the PT clinic. Brought the puppy in because it was too dang hot. Well, the one tech totally fell in love with her! She called her boyfriend/hubby who gave the okay. She gave me cash, said she'd do the shots and that she got off of work at 7:00. She arrived about 7:30 and he was gone! :( I cried and cried and cried!

Also on Friday night I took Arynn to Urgent Care. She had kicked the piano and her pinky toe was very bruised and a little swollen. Luckily though, it was not broken! YAY!

David is doing well with his driving. Also on Friday, I let him drive for the first time at night! Told ya it was busy!

I really should get some work done. And I want to get my paper that is due today started! I am soooo bad! I am just so tired of doing these papers. I don't learn anything!!
