I dont know what to think.

So lately, lots of weird stuff has been going on with the kids. They have been seeing things, feeling things and hearing things that I cant explain to them. Call me crazy or whatever, I really dont care because we have had these personal experiences ourselves and know what the deal is.

Ever since we moved in here we have been seeing things. There was the cat shadow in the basement that both Cliff and I saw. Shortly after that the kids would talk about a white cat down there. Jade was 3 and Robbie was 5. Then there was someone or something coming down the basement stairs when me and Cliff were watching TV down there. We thought it was one of the kids waking up and coming to look for us but when we went to check there was no one there. The kids were fast asleep tucked into bed still.

Then there was the incident with Jade seeing a figure run through the hallway from Robbies room. She startled for a moment and was like "mom! I just saw someone run from Robbas(her nickname for her brother) room!" She doesnt have an over active imagination and has never made things up like that. It threw me off none the less. Then there was Robbie telling me a big cat always following him around. He keeps telling me "mom I feel like something is always following me". He was laying in bed talking to me one night and he kinda jumped up and was like "whoa! something just touched my leg." a few nights ago he was laying here again and picked his head up and asked me if I had whispered his name. He said it sounded like someone whispered "Robba" in his ear.

Tonight they both see a blue ball of light dart from the kitchen into the dinning room and it disappears. They were both at the table playing with their play dough and came running to find me to tell me.

Im seriously tired of this house. Im tired of my children being afraid to go into the playroom alone. I dont make a big deal out of the things they tell me because I do not want to feed that fear and put ideas into their heads.

Ive asked what ever it is to leave my kids alone. That this is our house and I will not condone it scaring my kids. I make sure my kids say their bedtime prayers at night and when I go to bed I ask for the lords protection over my family.

Its not fun anymore. I want it to go away.

WOOHOO!!

He got his raise and promotion!

5% plus 7k in training bonus! Upped to SSEII!!!

He wasnt happy about what they gave him when they sat down and he told them give him the training or work out a different figure for the raise. He got a call a little while ago that said they approved the training bonus.

Rules of Engagement when it comes to friendship and me...

I have a set of standards I follow when it comes to being friends with people. I offer respect to people and its up to them to keep that respect or lose it with their own actions.

This is how I role:

I like you before I hate you. If you haven't given me a reason to dislike you then you are good to go. Which leads me to my next rule...

I give second chances to those who I honestly believe mean well and show change. I'm a sucker with a good heart that sees the good in people but sometimes I am blind to the evil in a person. Ive let people back in after they have hurt me in the past only to be hurt by that person again. The second time is the last time.

I DO NOT gossip about people. I cant stand it! I will turn my head to it and ignore it. I offer that respect to everyone and I hope that the same respect is returned to me.

I DO NOT tell people secrets that they have confided in me. If you tell me something, it goes to my grave with me. I have very very few friends I can trust with my deepest secrets and I hope to god they do not use them as content for gossip. If I find out that what Ive said in confidence to a person has been said to others, the friendship is over then and there. I cannot be friends with people I cannot trust. This includes telling others my personal business that they dont need to know about(seriously, if I havent told them, they dont need to know).

I am not two faced. If I have something to say to you, Ill say it. You will know when I don't like you.

I respect other people opinions and I am open minded to things unless I have my own beliefs already set on certain issues and subjects. We are all unique individuals with different views. We can learn and teach one another.

I do not play high school teenage games. This is REAL life and the REAL world. I graduated school early 10 years ago so I could leave that world behind and grow up.

I understand a lot of people I know are still young and have a lot of growing to do just like I did when I was their age. I wont always agree with their actions but I will respect the fact that we all have to learn through our own trial and errors.

I'm sure I have more but Ill have to add them when I get more free time but these are the most important to me.
