I surely can tell the month of Oct has arrived...the sun is shining..and the trees no longer stand still..it's so nice to feel that cool breeze we have been having...I just love this time of year...if only it could stay year round...
On the days that I'm not subbing in the schools..I've finally started walking again...taking it slowly this time...no need to rush it...as long as I walk the hour..the distance will come back...I've faced the fact..I'm no longer a spring chicken...lol..my old body can't do what it used to...lol..even though I seem to push it to the limit..
Talking about limits...it seems this is not the year for our football team...Last year it was so cool with us winning all our games..but this year is just not in the cards..but..that is ok...still there backing them....On Saturday...my 15 yr old is going to his first homecoming dance...it feels so strange...I remember doing all those high school things with my eldest..and now already my next son...it was fun...going shopping and finding his out fit...It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be...he will look so sharp...But then what else..he is my son...lol...

OOOO..let me tell ya what happen today!!!...Oh..wait..first let me explain...I started writing my blog early on this morning...and had no time to post..had to head off ...so that is the reason for difference in subjects...lol..so.. here goes...Like I said..I started walking again...and after my friend and I dropped off the kids...we headed to the park we walk...she following me...there at a stop sign..was a man in a truck...he waited as I passed by..but then cut in front of my friend...thought nothing of it..but then I noticed looking back in the mirror..he stopped smack in the middle of the road in front of her...I saw he got out the truck...I figured..dropping someone off at one of the mills for work...but then...a few moments passed and she still didn't catch up to me...As I was ready to go check on her..she came up...when we arrived at the park..she looked really upset...then she told me the happening....this man..who jumped in front of her at the last moment...stopped ...and jumped out..and went to her car and started mouthing about her almost hitting him....being to close to him...and when she told him that he cut her off...he..pulled out a badge and showed it to her..and told her.."Do you want to make something of it"...OMG..when she told me this...I got so infuriated..my blood was boiling...Well of course..she told him no...and then he yelled at her again and asked her.."What!"..and she told him no again...He left..and she started crying.
I couldn't believe he would take advantage of having a badge..and he wasn't even in uniform..nor in a cop car..his street clothes and his truck...and not to mention..he never once mention..his name..nor that he was an officer..he just intimated her with it...Well..now..I'm not what you call a real brave woman..but I am a stubborn and hard headed one..and when I feel someone is wrong..I just hate it..and I just couldn't let this go...so of course..we head off to see if he were still around..and sure enough that jerk was there at a gas station ...how..perfect was it...so..there I go...pulling up..and it appeared he recognized my friend in the truck with me...he was looking very hard at us...but..being me..I got down..went into the store..which he was still standing at the door..hell..he even held the door as I walked in..when he looked at me...I didn't give a nice look...He knew...as well as I knew he knew...but..I was smart enough to know to keep my mouth shut..something I am learning finally in my what you call adult years lol lol..but..let me tell you..my mind was working....what do I do..how can I handle this in the right way..
Well..this old SammyJo...did so good...I got back into my truck...was going to go around his truck to write the tags down..but the jerk came out..so we waited..as he came around to where we were..we then knew he knew us..he slow down...I am sure he was getting my tags..but..little did he know..that is exactly what we did also..we let him go..then we left..but..as we headed out..we noticed..he had drove up some..and pulled to the side..like he was waiting for us to come pass him by...so we knew best not to..we turned off..and went another way...we were not sure how to go about this..Of course we didn't' want to stir the pot..but..man..it was so Wrong!!!..what he did...Cops are supposed to be there to serve and protect us..not harass us..and intimidate us..
Well my friend and I agreed we needed to at least find out if what he did was wrong..and if he was allowed to do as he did..so we went to the Chief of Police..We had to at least have it known..incase it happens again...as we told the Chief of what happened...and described the man and truck..he knew right off of who we spoke of...and we gave him the tags number..and he ran them and sure enough he was one of the Chief's reserve cops..yeap..not even a real cop..only a reserve..who was only with them for 6 months....The Chief was not to happy with this man...I also told the Chief that he prob has my tags and surely by now my name and addy..He told me..if this man harasses me..or my friend..that we should go straight to him..the chief...he said that this situation will already be documented..so..it is a plus on our side...
Now don't get me wrong....we didn't go to cause this man to loose his job... we just want him to know he can't abuse his authority...
I told my friend..You know what...I think I understand why all those ppl went on the march in Jena...I think God just showed us...that sometimes you just have to stand up for yourself...you don't want trouble but you have to fight for your justice...of what is right..That even the ppl who are supposed to be there for you...can be truly not good..just in there for the show..just to be high and mighty...I know the situation is in no way the same...but..the feeling of unfairness is the same....
I know my blog is already long..but..I just have to say that on the Jena 6 story..well..the truth..the facts are coming out...and..even though I don't feel 6 should beat up 1...there was lots of reason it happened...you can only be pushed so far..and it seems this 1 white boy did some real pushing...
Ok ok..I'm all over the place with this one..heck..what am I talking about..I'm always that way...lol...but..I do have to say...it surely felt goooooooood!!!!...not standing for this crap....of what this man did...So heres one for the ladies today...lol....lol...
