Beware

And just so you all know, I mean no offense to my post. Just describing what happened in my class and my opinion on the matter....Thanks and have a lovely day!!! lol

Food for thought

Now, I am taking Psychology 101 and Social problems class. The Psychology class is an Internet course which I can honestly say I have only read 1 chapter out of the entire book. Its so boring, that I can seem to retain any of the information that I am Reading. But, I have to take all these Psych classes for my degree. Now the social problems class, I am taking with a bunch of kids right out of high school. And let me tell you. There opinions on social problems and my opinions are way off. Half the time I sit and keep my mouth shut, because I know if I open, I will piss people off. On week, we were discussing racism. Now, I am by no means, racist. I am however, prejudice against, stupid, ignorant, self-absorbed, pity partying fuckers!!!! Does not matter what color, religion, nationality you are.
So of course, the question was asked, "do you feel that nationalities that were discriminated against or treated badly still deserve the receive the benefits that they still receive today"
WOW.. So I answered. "NO" I think times have changed, and for the most part so has the majority of the population. Indians are not FORCED to live on reservations anymore, black people are not forced to ride on the back of the bus or drink out of different water fountains..and all the other stuff that I'm not going to put down....
Well, I feel, AND AGAIN THIS IS MY OPINION. That these horrible things did happen and thank god that there pretty much absolved, and I really feel that the(not saying which nationality or color, but you can probably guess)make there own problems for themselves know. It is no longer the WHITE MANS fault that they are living in poverty, because so do white people. IT is no longer the WHITE MANS fault that they do not have the same types of jobs as some white people, because there are white people who do not as well. I say you get over, and get on with the times.
If my white son and your (different nationality child) both apply for the same job, and my child gets the job, then the employer is racist, however, if your child gets the job and my child doesn't, then you say yours is better qualified.
And of course, you should have seen the looks and stares and frowns that I got from different nationality kids in my class. If looks could kill, Id be dead 5times over..
I say "get over your self"

Wow...what a day. A shity day at that. Ofcourse the wheather was ok. Not to hot, with a nice breeze. However, the steam in my home was killing me. I thought a weekend away would do me good. And then I would come home and things would be great. Nope. nope nope... My son is still the same. Except now, when ever he does not get his way, or If he gets mad at me, he goes to my fridge and pulls every thing out. Drives me nuts. I finally told him today, that if he was so intent on getting everything out of the fridge, that maybe he should take the sponge and clean it down as well.
And do you know what he said. "ya" as he was shaking his head no...What a smartass. I wonder where he gets it from!!

I found this in my parenting mag today. Thought it was great

When Alpha Mom says:
* You have your baby in only two activities?
*My 80 hour work week and my triplets keep me on my toes!
*My husband babysits during my manicure!

You should just grin and reply:
*We're busy building a hybrid car from legos!
*WOW-I couldn't do all that! I'd miss Oprah.
*Mine's really more of a dad than a sitter!

They also had this section where parents submit photos of there kids based on the topic at that time. This months topic was pics of kids and the family pet playing together. So I submitted a pic of my son and our Shit Zu Gizmo..

What do you think!!!

pics from GA

Gorgia..Land that I lov!!

I absolutely love Georgia. My girlfriend from high school now lives up there, right outside of Atlanta, in Roswell, and a few friends and I decided we should go visit her. So, Leaving our kids home with the husband, we took off to have a weekend of fun...
And boy was it fun. I can't remember the last time I drank as much as I did. We went through 2 cases of beer and 3 bottles of liquor. Im not bragging. I was actually quite shocked that we drank as much as we did.

The only thing we did this weekend was make our way down to South Buckhead to go to a little cajun restuarnt called The Big Easy. I recommend anybody who lives nearby or visits in Ga, to try this place. I had the BEST fried crawfish Po Boy ever. Ahhh.

I lived in GA back in 2001. I had the best time while living there. Cold nights, cold morning. When we went back this weekend, it was so pretty. The leaves were all changing, and downtown Roswell had all these Harvest decorations. My fav time of year...

" life and death "

Today I received a phone call about 11am, which is 8am in Washington state. Which is where my dad lives, to tell me that my 42 year old uncle died of a massive heart attack. He lives in Michigan. Of course, I lost it. My uncle Curt is so special to me.
He was the one who smashed my finger in the hinge of the bedroom door as a toddler! He was also the one that would advise me on special spots and special memories! He was the only one from my fathers side of the family that actually attended my wedding! Of course he wore moccasins!!! He's the great uncle. And I will miss him more than anything.

Sweetness in the mornings!

I love it when my husband is home. I get to sleep in. Usually on Saturdays and Sundays when he is home, I'll crawl out of bed around 9ish. That's sleeping in for me. However, last night I could not sleep, so I was watching movies until abut 4am when I decided to crawl into bed. And my wonderful, great, husband, let me sleep in until almost 11am. It felt so good. I brought back memories from before parent hood. How lovely. It only lasted for about 10mins. The time I woke up till when I got out of bed a made my way to the kitchen for coffee. That was when I saw the light of my life come running up to me for a hug and kiss. Well, I didn't actually get a kiss, but a hug. Nothing is better then that!!!

Safety my ass!!!

The other morning I was about to break down. I was trying to clean my bathrooms and my son would NOT stop getting into the pantry. It has one of those accordion doors, so its easy for him to open. He would get out the cereal box and go to the couch, in the process of eating it, he was getting it every where. So, today, well, Friday, I went to The Home Depot and bought one of those door lock that is position on top of the door, between the track and door over the bendy party. Well thank the lord it was only about 3.00 because its a piece of shit. One good hard yank, and the door opens right up! Couldn't believe it. Stupid cheap ass baby shit!!! uugghh

You know, they make all this child safety stuff that is supposed to protect the child from getting hurt, and all it is is a pain in the ass for parents. BABY GATES...Do you know HOW many times I have fallen on my face from having to step over those. I'm not that tall, and my legs are short. But if you get the ones with the swinging door, you paying an arm and a leg. Go figure..
CABINET LOCKS...I have the magnetic ones that drill into your cabinets and you hold the magnet on the outside and it unlocks. 25.00 for 4 locks. I have 11 Cabinets. And heaven forbid that I should need to get something out of the cabinet, I'm shit out of luck..OUTLET COVERS...There great, keeps child fingers and objects out.Love it...However, time to Vacuum and can't get the damn thing off to plug in the vacuum. So much for a clean carpet. CAR SEATS..Protects child in car, HAH. My child has found a way to get OUT of his car seat without undoing the buckle. And yes, I do have it tight enough..Easy for child to find way out and prevents parent from keeping him in.

What good are all these things. I mean really. There supposed to protect our children yet, THEY SUCK. Either don't work right or there parent retardant.....

Time off

So, I am having this little dilemma. A friend from high school lives in GA and another friend of mine wants to take a child free 2 1/2 day mini vacation to visit. Leave on Friday, home on Sunday. Would I love to go? Yes, I would love to go away. But, and that's a BIG BUT...What am I supposed to do without my child for almost 3 days. He of course will be with daddy, but he has not been away from me. Well, I have been told that it would be selfish of me to not go. Yes, me selfish, huh...NOT...And maybe I am only thinking about myself here, but how am I going to leave him for 3 days. I can't even tolerate the 3 hour class twice a week away from him. Now, mom says I should not go. That it is too soon for me. lol Notice how mom says its to soon for me! She knows me so well. But I have been thinking that after my wonderfully filled afternoon, that maybe I should go. And when I come back and will have a knew perspective on "air walking". Who knows.

"Houdini"

Well, today was a new day. Last night I went a little stir crazy and decided that I needed to clean and take care of some "child" issues. So, I removed the side table from the living room. Figured I had solved the whole child climbing on table issue. Oh no...ohh no no no. While I was on the phone with my mother, and she was explaining the horriffic car accident that happended in front of her office today, and in the midst of complainging about my horrible day fending my poor house from child, said child, decided that he no longer needed a side table to step on or use to get from recliner to couch, that he could walk on air. YES. That is what I said. He walked from side of recliner staight unto this gaping whole to get to the couch. Thank golly that I am GREAT and was able to catch him by the seat of his pants, or his poor little head would have hit floor. My poor child. ughhh. He drives me nutzy sometimes.



On another note, mom said something in her blog about showing pics of desktops. So here goes. Now all that great, but it is what it is....a desktop.

Pic on the left is my newphew who is 4 and pic on right is my son who is 17months. Dog in middle is my mothers dog. Great ass shots huh!!!

On another note, to anybody who has or will leave me a comment, Im sorry if I do not respond back to you. Im still very new to the blogging world and only just now figured out how to link!! I know, but some of us are a little slow....

Kids will be Kids

So that's what they say. Well, let me tell you. My son is impossible. I can't get a single thing accomplished when he is around. 'Well, that's normal' you say. No, my child is not. This is why... Many times now, I have heard strange noises from my sons room, I go in and much to my surprise, he is running around his bedroom. Now, he is 17 months old, and still in a crib. I look at the crib and the side bar is down. Now tell me, how did this happen. And no, it is not a defected crib.



I will be in the living/kitchen area either cleaning or cooking, or eating, and when I turn around for just a moment, here is what he does...

YES, THAT IS MY SIDE TABLE

And heaven forbid I sit down, or run outside for a quick smoke because then he tries to get everything off of my counters...He pulled his toy bucket into the kitchen, turned it over, and stood on top of it. I must remind you again, that he was only around 15 months when he did this..


Kids will be kids huh...ya

Fall is in the Air!!!

I woke up this morning, and there was no sun shinning on me through the many windows in my bedroom. It was great. I get out of bed and walk ou the french doors to have my morning smoke, and behold, its windy, the leaves on the treas are starting to look like this:



Now, this is the actual tree in my backyard. Of course, being a person who loves Fall, I would prefer to be looking at something like this:




But, will never happen, because I live in Florida. Now, Today started out just perfect. Feeling of fall was in the air, so, my son and I spent the morning doing this:



Now, I can't wait to buy pumpkins and carve them, to line my huge walk way with them. Cook up some pumkin seeds. AHH. The only thing that can beat fall, is WINTER. Which does not happen in Florida. but beggars cant be choosers. We take what is given to us.
