So I go to one of the many Indian casinos in town and I go with not one red cent. I figure if I don't take any money in I can't spend it, right? Well they have been having drawings for ladies night for well over a year and I have never been drawn out, there are seven drawings total, one every ten minutes from ten to eleven every Monday night. Well last night they draw the first six winners and of course it wasn't me, but the last drawing for $500 was called and guess what . . . I walked in with $0 and left with . . . nothing, of course it wasn't my name that was drawn are you kidding. But I'm very proud of myself for not gambling, I think I'll find a new hobby. I'm growing tired of corrupting my lungs with the smoke of cheap cigarettes and losing money that I could definately put to better use. It's fun to be with adults on Monday nights, but I just don't think it's good for me anymore. I would really like to get together with the same group I see on Mondays but elsewhere. I don't know how many believe the same as me but I feel like God definately gives me signs and cues on how to live my life, and I think I gettin one now. I don't think gambling is wrong mind you, I just feel it is wrong for me right now.
For those of you that don't know I call my kids Tiny Tot for my youngest and Tweeny Tot for my oldest, (get it? they are Tater's tots.) Well Tweeny did the sweetest thing the other day, she has such a hard time getting up and around for school in the mornings and the previous morning we had had a really rough go of it with her so I told her she had to start being less grumpy and get ready on time or she would have to give up one of her activities. The next morning I went to get her up, I said "wake up little rose bud" (which is the way my Mom used to wake me up when I was young. I loved it) she rolls over and I notice she not wearing what I put her to bed in, I look down and she has her shoes on too. I asked her what was up and she said I wanted us to have a happy morning so I got up last night and got dressed and went back to sleep so I wouldn't be late getting around this morning. She tells me days are like pickles some are sweet and some are sour. I truely hope when my kids get older that when they think of their childhoods that the sweet days totally outweigh the sour days.
Hey I've decided to start something, everytime I blog at the end I'm gonna ask a question and anyone that wants to comment that would be great, I'll respond to the question in the comments section too so that you can think about it before you hear my opinion, 'cause believe you me I have an opinion on EVERYTHING!!!!
The question today is "Assuming that you are a generous person (and even if you're not too bad) if you had all the money you need what organization or cause would you want to contribute too?"

I have a soft spot in my heart for the MDA and always will.
Question: St. Judes Childrens Research hospital. And would also build a new no kill animal shelter for Miami.
Glad you're a blogger now Tater!
After I have taken care of all my family....I would give to the Shriner's Hospital...they helped my sister for several years and never charged my mom a cent! Gotta love that!
BTW, I am loving the BLOG!!!!
I'd give to St. Jude's. A friend of mine's daughter passed away recently and she was at St. Jude's and they took such awesome care of her and her family. The baby, Helen, also had a healthy twin brother, Robert and the nurses took such awesome care of the whole family, not just the sick baby.
First, I would give money to FBC Picher because that church will always hold such a special place in my heart. I know that with times so rough they could use extra money. Since I have all the money I need, I would also endow a full-ride scholarship in honor of my son at Oklahoma Baptist University. I would want students chosen who would never be able to afford to go to college unless they were blessed with a scholarship such as this one. Wow, wish I could do just that!
Hey Ms. TaterDiva - I love your new blog! To answer your question of the day - I would set up really amazing art programs at as many schools as I had money for. Art frees your mind in so many ways. Your blog is hilarious and I can't wait to see what else you have to say!
I don't think I'd give it directly to any organization because I'm just not the trusting kind. OK, I'd give some to a local literacy program because we just have too many people who don't read. I'd give money to the Champions Youth Center in Oklahoma City. And then I'd find people who needed the money. Hard-working families who need a house or a new car etc.
After helping my family, I would split the money between St. Jude's, local shelters, and Susan G. Koman breast cancer research.
But first, I'd help my own... get my grandparents out of debt, buy my mom a house, buy my dad a separate house, buy my aunts a house for each of them, pay off my mom's debts from her helping out my grandparents... I'd just like to be able to do that much first...
My local school district!
Love the blog Tater. I'm a newbie myself.
My money would go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Because as sad as it is with all the research dollars nowadays, there are so many kids that are still terminal and this foundation helps to make that one lifelong dream come true for so many of these kids.
we're waiting for something new. update or delete
