I think that I might have figured out how to do the italics, bold, underline, and strikethrough.
Ooh, I am excited!! But I wonder if the lay-out will come out with the html editor on? I guess that the only way that I am going to find out is if I put up this entry.
Last night I found out that my 17 year old is failing some of his classes (he put off doing 3 major projects until the night before they were due).
I took away his iPod and his laptop until he brings those grades up.
He informed me that his "projects" were on the iPod and the laptop.
I gave him 2 hours (until I had to leave for work) to finish those projects.
He informed me again that he wouldn't be able to do them, he was going to fail his glasses, move out, and then finish high-school. And by the way, he didn't want me to give back his iPod, because I was using it to punish him and he was tired of it.
I didn't rise to the bait - I just told him that the items were gone until he brought his grades up.
He refuses to take responsibility for the projects he didn't do - he never has time, he says, because he has so many chores - he has 3.
He said he's gonna tell the teachers that he couldn't do his projects because I took away his computer and iPod.
WTF?
I guess my question to you is, did I handle that wrong?
This morning he tried to get his father to give him the items back - he doesn't LIKE what Mom is "doing" to him. I have no right to take his things away.
I STILL can't get to sleep. 
I need to go to Wal-mart and get a few things - 2 more sets of dominoes, toilet paper - you know, essentials.
Maybe take myself to lunch somewhere.
Definately get a coffee at Dunkin Donuts. 
Hubby has gone hunting with his father, so I have the whole day to myself.
You'd think that I would use this time wisely and start that danged essay, but I want to futz around on Bloop more than I want to write that paper.
Work last night was good. No matter what kind of mood I am in when I leave for work, the minute I see the residents, my mood is lifted immensely.
I've always loved working with the elderly - I started volunteering at nursing homes when I was 14 years old. Loved it. Logged the most hours out of anyone in the program that summer.
I tried volunteering at a big hospital in Bangor a few years ago (before I took my CNA course), but I didn't enjoy the work as much.
I guess that I am really more of a "hands-on" kind of person.
But I am taking a course to get my Medical Office Assistant diploma.
And then I am going to get my Medical Transcription diploma.
I want to work in an office, but stay in the medical field.
Yeah, sometimes I think that I am too old to be still going to school for this stuff, but I LIKE school - I LIKE learning - I LIKE textbooks. 
So, I guess that this entry is almost finished. (The more I write, the less lonely I will be).
Must sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!
