It's been forever and a day it seems since I have posted which is horrible!But I have been busy. Yes the typical excuse I know.Good news .....Elder has now graduated 8th grade!!!It was such a great ceremony! We had friends come to visit and of course the little one couldn't help but make his presence known!In the end even the little one was clapping and cheer along with me and our row of people

In a recent interview about reaching the five year mark in Iraq, Vice- President Dick Cheney said "So?" when told that the majority of Americans do not support this war and want the troops home now.   SO?  What kind of answer is this?  I knew the man was arrogant, but even this is unbelievable!   On another war note - Bush says we are doing well now due to the surge.  I have see reports that

I guess it's time to focus on the presidential election for 2008.I am a registered independent in a state that has closed primaries. This means I am watching on the sidelines until the big election. But I am getting interested in what is going on for the Democratic side of the ticket.I was marginally interested last December when there was just a lot of talking and bandying for position. Now

It's that time of year again....yes to say I haven't been writing nearly as much as I should.I did finally take pictures for the Holiday week in December. What was nice was that J's birthday was 5 days before Christmas.To say he had a good time is an understatment. Ok I think I had a better time then he did, but hey....I am entitled!We also went to church service for Christmas, but of course J is

Yes here is where I shamelessly plug that it's my birthday today!!!Yay Me!I went out with friends last night and had an absolute blast!I decided to go to a place called Barcelona Wine and Tapas bar. I Love Love Love this place. The people there are friendly, the food divine and it's a great place to have friends. The Atmosphere is amazing and I just can't say enough about it.It's a perfect place

I am not ashamed to say it. Now that being said, why is it that people are in an uproar over a fictional character?One of my Favorite Online Potter haunts is The Leaky Cauldron They do a great job in keeping up with all things potter. I especially love their pottercast.People (not all - but a determined few) have been going online to spew their hatred over finding out that Dumbledore is gay. So

AP has done a story saying it's harder living paycheck to paycheck:http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071019/ap_on_bi_ge/stretching_paychecksI figured most people would know this. But this issue hits hardest for the working poor. I have gone on and on about this, housing, food, everything costs more then even a year ago.How do you save if your paycheck doesn't cover rent, food and basics? How do you

It seems that an article was written to Sister 2 Sister magazine by a Caucasian woman who requested a response from black men. I'm so glad she got what she asked for (and more) !!!Dear Jamie:I'm sorry but I would like to challenge some of your Black male readers.

I was flipping through channels before “Grey’s Anatomy” came on and happened to see that there was a Republican debate. Normally this would have gotten a roll of the eyes and a quick flick of the remote.For some unknown reason I decided to check the info on the show and found out that it was being held live at Morgan State University. This actually surprised me, a Historically Black College was

Bush is blaming the Democrats for a bill that he said he will veto because it will expand coverage to millions of unisured children.I don't understand why this is a bad thing. Bush is quoted as saying it will expand coverage to those who can easily afford medical coverage. So who are those people? If you are in a family of 4 - 2 children and your work medical coverage only is affordable for

For months I have been bemoaning the rental markets in my area. I have said that only corporate types can afford the rentals in the area. Anyone making a "normal" wage is out of luck.It seems that two writers with the Associated Press believe the same thing. In an article that appeared in the Stamford Advocate as "High prices, hidden costs",a link on the same article on Yahoo . It's not so hard

I recently wrote a letter to the editor of my local paper about how the us against them mentality has gone a bit too far in this country.Question for you, have you ever tried walking across the street, in a crosswalk with the light, only to be almost hit by a passing driver?It happens more often then not these days. It really sad. Why is it that when some people get into a car, nothing else seems

You would think i would stop to blog about something important. Like People taking swipes at Michele Obama and calling her unfit to be first lady or CNN using Ms. Instead of Mrs. When writing about her (supposedly continuing the racist myth that Black people don't marry.)Or on sad entertainment news Pavarotti passing away or the Vanessa Hudgens pictures sans clothes.

Yes it has officialy started, August 31st was the first day of school for Tweedle Dee (my eldest) No I am not being mean either. I have decided to nickname the boys TD. The little one is Tazmanian Devil. (onset of terrible two's).I have met with Tweedle's teachers, who are all men this year! I am actually happy about that.

It's been a summer of reminders from my eldest school. Reminders about back to school barbecues, what supplies the school needs, how many community hours need to be done in order for my child to graduate. All summer these have flooded my mailbox.But how do I find out that half of the eighth grade staff has been replaced by either quitting or re structuring? A NEW guidance counselor calls. This is

Today is the day I get to deal with a little reality. Well, this is not exactly true, but I try to deal with reality every day.My eldest is turning 14 in less then a week. 14 years old!My dose of reality with this? He's getting older and wanting to go out more. I am really scared about letting him go out. He has friends whose parents let them go out until midnight on a school night! They are 14!!

Here is the financial question i have been asking myself for about a year now. Do I truly think I am going to retire?Strange question one would think. I mean EVERYONE save for retirement, don't they?I have found that if you are in the same job for years and years, it is relatively easy to save with most companies. Companies usually have a 401K with a matching plan, between 50 - 100% up to a

While watching CNN the other day, I had a conversation with my 13 year old boy. There was a person being interviewed about the whole Imus and the derogatory statement he made about the players of Rutgers University women's basketball team.The person being interviewed was pointing out that some of the highest selling rap artists use worse language in their songs denigrating women.

Why is Isaiah Washington being honored?His work on a show is good, but an Image award is not just about an image you portray on TV it is what you show to the world outside.Expressing homophobic thoughts is not something that I want my children to aspire to, I do not want them to see gay people as different. or wrong, or harmful or to be feared.Am I back in the 40's??

Looking at some of the children’s programming out there, I have noticed an unbalanced outcry from certain parents and parents groups.In the case of the movie “Happy Feet” there was an outcry against the envoirnmental message and the slant toward conformism. Some were saying that the movie was saying it was bad to be different, saying its message was too heavy for young viewers. Does it really?

People Envy Your CompassionYou have a kind heart and an unusual empathy for all living creatures. You tend to absorb others' happiness and pain.People envy your compassion, and more importantly, the connections it helps you build. And compassionate as you are, you feel for them.What Do People Envy About You?

January 1st 2007I can say - hey look we made it!And yes we did. It's great. This is a time to reflect on what's gone on the past 12 months.I know I have been busy, so busy that I barely write anymore. My stint as a student is put on hold yet again. But I did get a new job, got to fly to Paris and see Amsterdam, kept in touch with friends, saw my baby hit the one year mark.oh by the way....

I have just realized how hard it is to travel out of the country, spend 4 days in Europe, then come back and be expected to work all week.I am exhausted!Good news is I am back and I have pictures!Of course these have to be uploaded and labled - but am going to get that done this weekend.Holiday Season, wow is it hectic!I have explained to most of my friends that holiday presents are going out

Yep that's what I said. I am currently writing from one of the best hotels i have EVER stayed at:The MovenpickOMG wait until you see pictures!!I just got back from a quick tour of the city.

Appalling!Amazing!Oh My Goodness!Diane Farrell lost because people didn’t turn out to vote. It’s that simple! How can you say you want change and then vote the same people in?!I have NEVER voted for Shays because I have not agreed with him on many many many issues, I do not and have not felt that he represented me at all!31, 000 votes in Stamford were cast for House Rep.

I wonder, are we raising kids to bask in compliments?I am biased when it comes to J. I think he is the cutest baby on earth. I have people who literally gawk at him and say he's so cute.of course some of these people are strange bus people but it's still the same.Why do I bring this up? J now looks for people to smile and clap for...Play hide and seek with.This is normal some say.So will he grow

The subconscious is wired to make snap judgments about people. This is what researchers have told us. They tell us that this is were stereotypes are born.Everyone has bias they say - it's what you do with it. Do you act on it?Now think about this...It has been said that if you say certain things to people before test, it can greatly affect their performance.For example : Remind a woman that she

I didn't really say anything about 9/11 before this because I figured others could do it so much better.Now here comes ABC, a network I normally respect, with their "docudrama". And it seems like they are not only getting it wrong, they are making people look horrible to do it.First off, I will admit, I haven't seen it yet. Obviously, because it airs on Sunday. But Critics got to see it and THEY

Why is it that when something is proposed for the country that is good and will help millions of people be self sufficient, someone has to tack on stupid provisions that will only benefit a select few that really don't need help?What am I talking about?The Federal minimum wage - it hasn't been raised in 9 years.Tell me, who can live on 5.15 an hour??I haven't made 5.15 an hour since I was 15

I know that they are comfortable, but people please there is a time and a place for them.My eldest son is obsessed with hooded sweat shirts. Why, beats me, he just is.I take him and a family friend school shopping, and what's the first thing he picks up??Then the next day he asks me if he could wear it to church. Why??? He has a perfectly good suit jacket.But mom....Ugh 2 words I hate put

Can't tell you how long it's been to spend a weekend away and not have to worry about the kids.My mom took the elder camping while J was with the babysitter on her family vacation. I let him go because of the new job wouldn't let me take 3 days off yet.I had fun going out with my friends talking about everything and nothing. Also they are the ones to get me hooked on video games. They had me play

My "Daddy" passed away today.My Grandfather whom I can't fathom this life without, passed away today after more than 80 years in this world.He was the rock of the family, everyone called him Daddy, because he was a father to all of us.To say I will miss him is one of the biggest understatements of all time.

I love vague titles!My life with my previous job is over, 9 years of ups and downs has come to an end. I get a three day weekend to rest and then navigate to the new place and begin to make my way there.Am I excited?YES!I am not even scared anymore. Opportunities come by for a reason, I believe this whole heartedly.The good news as my mom sees it is that I can now clean the house up a bit. Do

No I am not having one, but I went to a good friend's this weekend. It was a blast!For me, it was great because there were people there I had not seen for months and in some cases years!My very Preggie friend is about to have a little girl. And the presents came the cutest outfits! I did the practical route. I got washcloths, receiving blankets, bottles, bottle liners, a travel set, bibs and

I got the JOB!!!!!I am so happy I could shout! A new job that starts on the 18th of July. Amazing, new things to learn and new opportunities to grow. It's funny, it's not the job I applied for, someone else got that over me because they had a bit more experience. I was offered a job that recently became available and was the first name on this list!Do you know how great it is to feel that people

And summer is on it's way. The weather has improved in some ways ie it's warmer. But in others it stinks. Lots more rain - thunderstorms to be exact.Being without a car, thunderstorms can be - problematic to say the least. Trying to pick up the boys from the babysitter the other day was an adventure. Luckily I had the caddy of a stroller that my father and step mother bought me. It's what they

Not that I want anything bad to happen, it's just this feeling in the back of my mind.Last night, there was a wicked thunderstorm. K HATES thunderstorms with a passion.

Well my life is still hectic, that hasn't changed, but it now has a steady rhythm. I can now make it home from work by 8:30 pm - better then 9:00 or almost 10:00. My mother is doing better, they changed her medications and that seems to be working.

Everytime I think I get something handled, something else pops up. I mean isn't that the way of the world? J is not sick anymore, but now my mom is violently ill. She missed two days off from work and doesn't know if it's really getting better or not.I am going on a leave of absence from school to hopefully get things back under control.

J had an outfit and so did the elder son.I planned on getting alot of sleep on Saturday night, just to be ready for Sunday morning..But it wasn't mean to be. J, who had gotten over a fever just a day before, now was running through diapers every half hour. My babysitter had a real worried look on her face. My

But as I know have a few minutes with the biys gone...I shall attempt some semblence of coherant thought.I did say try ......I have a cold, the annoying running nose hacking cough type of cold. This has led to me also losing my voice. All I can do is whisper. oh and drink tea.This sucks as 80% of my job requires me to be on the phone. So how am I going to manage this??I am drinking Green Tea

I'm running late again, and yet i took time out to write here...strange set of priorities huh?I got a junk letter the other day, thought someone had seen my son and forwarded it to a modeling agency. It turned out that they had a mailing list from one of the baby companies I signed up for.But I wonder, would it be a good idea to just see if the baby might be a model? I'm not sure, maybe it

As you can tell from my title I have no Idea what I want to talk about. I just know that I am still trying to get a handle on things.Work is overwhelming, so much to do and so little time to do it in. It's rush rush rush and I can't wait for those two days off so I can at least get into the bath and relax, not a shower (which is nice in it's own way) but a long hot drawn out bath - while

Now that I am back to work, I see time at a premium ...Again. It's back to the rat race. I didn't truly realize how much running around I did before Jamal was born.It was easier because Kyle could get up and dress himself and get something to eat and get himself to the bus stop. He wanted to be be independent, wants to be independent. Now it's wake up see him off to the bus, change Jamal get him

Today I am going back to work. And I am kinda scared.I look at my little one and think, will you still smile at me when I hold you, will my smell be comforting to you?he's so tiny, but will be well taken care of.I do remember that My older son still knows loves an respects me. Well most days he loves me ( those days he's grounded - that love is soooooo questionable)I have these things in my favor

Ok how is it if I deposit a check on Saturday that is written on the bank that I am depositing it in, that funds from that check are STILL not available 5 days later?Check drawn on Bank A , deposited in Bank A , not available 5 days later???Doesn't add upI could understand if it were an out of state check drawn on another bank.Can you guess that I am completely fuming??

It's so soon but I need the money now. my sick time has run out so it's either work or not eat.I think in a couple of months, things will get easier - once I get back intot he grove of things.

This will be my major vent of the week.I have nothing against stay at home moms. The people I have a problem with are the ones that demean working mothers.I am sick and tired of women who look down their noses at me saying that I am a bad mother because I work. How dare you!I go to my son's parent teacher's meetings, I actually arranged it so I get weekly updates from his teachers and meetings

My Second Semester has begun at my Online University. I am happy about that, the challenge of juggling home life, school and going back to work will make it intense.I have some of the people from my last class in my Business Law class. That's fun, it's nice to see a familiar name. The other course I am taking is Software applications. Now on the surface it seems like an easy course, but really,

Well it was more of a brunch to be exact.There is a new building being proposed in my town that will be 27 stories high and have retail and luxury apartment space. One thing my town has instituted is a 10% affordable housing set aside. Developers don't like it because it unfairly targets them and no one else has to contribute. Companies aren't contributing, if they don't like the way the housing

We lost power to half of the house! The WAY important half if you ask me. No Computer, no TV , no DVD...It sucked!!And of course this would be the night that the baby sleeps, but my eldest gets sick. Thank Goodness he's ok now (he went to school :) )So yes now I am with power to the whole house...Happily typing away.Got an email from an Ex - boyfriend...Happy to say time does heal most wounds.

Record Snow has hit the NYC tristate area. Over 20 inches of snow have dropped in the last 24 hours and I have found it interesting to watch.ATV's have come roaring out of people's garage's....And even more interesting is the phenomenon of my son's friends coming over the house to hang out. They trudge through un plowed sidewalks with snow up to their knees to hang out at my house.....Why??!I

I am now starting to plan for a milestone in my life.In 3 years I will be 35, and I haven't had a good birthday party in years. Now a lot of that is because of me, I didn't want one. But for my 35th I want to go big. I want to do a vacation. So I figure I can celebrate my birthday and torture my sons at the same time!How do I do that?I go to Disneyworld!Now, I am going to take the kids....Jamal

Why is it that the government hasn't captured Osama bin Ladin? I thought that was their top priority? Or was that before it went after Saddam?Hmmm now that I am thinking on it, there were statements that the government made, in defending the Iraq war stating that Osama wasn't a priority.Wow, now that a tape has surfaced, it's we are doing EVERYTHING possible? Is that really true or is it that

This morning I was sitting feeding my son with the T.V. on. Most of the time, the T.V. is on for background noise, just a filler so the quiet doesn't get in, so to speak. I looked up and noticed that a TV movie of the Delany sisters was on. I did find it interesting, they talked about the beginning of the Jim Crow laws in North Carolina and how it affected them and their family. 10 brothers and
