In So Need Of A Vacation

Oh man! I haven't had a vacation in so long and I'm so overdue for one. The kids are driving me crazy lol! I love my babies, but my hubby and I rarely have time for ourselves you know? I guess you have to deal with what life throws at ya.

Lately I find myself talking to myself. Does anyone do that? I find it as an outlet besides writing. We all wish we could have or do something at one point or another. It's just been so busy and chaotic lately! Trying to find time to be alone and handle my business is furstrating. One thing I won't do is give up, though. Life isn't easy, if it is then you must be living on another planet lol!

Memorial Day BBQ

Today I went to hang out with my sister, brother-in-law and my sister's friend. We had a great time chilling out in the Garage BBQing, listening to music, playing Karaoke and Limbo. Of course there were drinks there, the day was so perfected. It was a little chilly but we had such a great time, it was definitely a day to remember.

My sister, me and her friend were singing along to some oldies like we were a group. People were walking pass looking at us like we were crazy. We didn't care we were having so much fun. Sat down and ate then got up to have some more fun. I step with my brother-in-law, I really don't know how to. My brother-in-law was teaching me how to and has been teaching me for a few years now. I guess you can say I'm a slow learner with that type of dancing ha! ha! ha!

It was so exciting made me forget about all of my problems. My kids had a ball, everyone was happy. Wish everyday could be like Yesterday. I'm blessed to be here, I love my life and my family.

My Sister and Her Attitude

Hey guys what's up? I just have to let a few words out about my sister. I love my sister don't get me wrong, but the girl is crazy! She has such an negative attitude that she drives everyone that loves her away.

My sister and I never really got along to well. She just likes sucking the life out of people, it's like she tests them just to see who can handle her. We have our good times, but there are bad times more then there are good. Did I say that right lol! Ok yeah. I'm there 4 her because she is my blood and family is family, but sometimes they make you wish they weren't.

You see when things don't go her way she tends to take her attitude out on others. Enough is Enough you know? Now I keep my distance because if I don't then my blood pressure goes up, attitude changes and etc. I don't like being around someone who intends on making you miserable all because that's all they know is Misery.

Family is family but Damn! How much do u have to take. You love, you give and you get nothing in return. Hoping one day they change, all that hope being wasted is time that can be used by being happy and living your life.

I Am Woman

I come in many shapes and colors. I am soft and delicate, but nothing to play with. I stand on my own two feet, I depend on one.

I am Woman, I am strong, beautiful, unique, a fighter and survivor. I am Woman, irresistible, seductive, sexy, and voluptuous. Yes I am

I play many roles, Mother, Aunt, Sister and Grandmother. I’m bad and loving it. Looking good like a woman should, I stand out like a skyscraper and stand strong like a house build with bricks.

I get a kick out of challenges, nothing holds me down. I’m always ready for the next round. I do need love from a good man, a man that’s not afraid to really be what a man should.

I am Woman seducing you with the swing of my hips, temptation at its best. My soft curves and my beautiful tresses are longing for your soft caress. I am defined by my mind not my beauty. One look in my eyes and you are mesmerize by my strength, my dedication and strive to survive.

I’m a proud lover and achiever letting no one astray me from my ambition. I’m more sensitive then the opposite sex, but I fight my battles and have won many wars. I hold it down like no other, protecting my children from life’s evil. Molding them into their best physically and morally and I must say I look pretty good doing it.

Woman to Woman we go through a lot struggling to be to be treated as equal in society and in relationships. We love hard with disregard of how we are sometimes treated. We deserve the best and never the less we will always be Queens of our throne.

I am proud of my womanhood, I am proud of who I am. Independent, strong willed, provider, nurturing and flamboyant of my style. I love driving men wild.

Loving who I am every part of me, I’m not perfected but I am a site to see.
I am Woman

The Birthday Dinner

My Sister, Mother and I put together a family dinner for my nephew's Birthday. We had greens, smoke meat, spaghetti and dressing. Somehow someone forgot to get a cake for him. He turned 29 and he really didn't want a cake anyway. He's sick and going through some things right now and he just wanted to be around his family.

Everyone was there. We were getting our bubbly on and there goes the drama. My brother-in-law had already been drinking the day before and was still drinking the next day. Yeah he's a pro with the liquor. He was stumbling all around the house, trying to start arguments with my sister who was also on a two day drunk spree.

Everyone has at least one member in the family that is either the trouble maker, drunk or just have a bad attitude. With my family I have all three! From falling on the floor, accusing others of stealing drinks, almost fighting, arguing and getting cussed out the family dinner was a blast once it calmed down.

Then it started all over again, the cussing, arguing, fighting and just loving each other aint family the best. There's nothing like having a fun-loving family We did get a chance to take some pictures though.

The Swine Flu

The Swine Flu started from Mexico. 1600 cases have been reported in Mexico and 100 people have died from this flu. Cases have been reported in other states like Ohio, Texas, Kansas, California and New York.

Symptoms are similar to the flu. 36,000 people died last year from the flu alone. Scientists are in the mix of developing a vaccine for the Swine flu, they are hoping to have it within a few months. No cases have been reported in Illinois. If you have signs of the Swine flu see the doctor within 48 hours. If your children have flu like symptoms keep them home.

No deaths have been reported in Texas, Kansas, California and New York. Some have recovered without medication.

To keep from getting the flu, eat healthy, drink plenty of water and just take care of yourself.

ADD

ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) Or ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyper is the most common mental disorders that develop in children. When left untreated it can lead to poor school, work, and social behavior. It can also lead to low self-esteem. The Center for the Disease Control and Prevention estimate that about 2 million children have this disorder. Attention Deficit Disorder is a biological or brain based condition. It is impulsive, hyperactive and distractible behavior.

This mental disorder can continue in childhood and through out adult life. 30 to 70 percent will continue to have ADD as an adult. The cause of this disorder is still under investigation. Males are at a greater risk of developing ADD because of genetics and heredity. These two play a major risk factor. Research studies focus on genes and combination of genes to figure out the cause.

The differences between ADD and ADHD are ADD is without the hyperactive and ADHD is with the hyperactive behavior. The symptoms of these two mental disorders are:

Sounds and sights can easily distract inattentive behavior, having difficulty completing a task. Go from one activity to another, ADD can overlooked because sometimes it is hard to identify. ADHD involves hyperactivity. Hyperactivity is when there is a constant motion, always moving around and fidgeting. ADHD runs in the family. About 40%-50% of children with this disorder have a parent that has it. Brain injury might be the cause of ADHD, but a small number of children with this disorder have brain injury.

With ADHD, hyperactivity is very noticeable. Symptoms can be restlessness along with moving around and fidgeting. Having difficulty staying seated, talking too much, blurting out answers when not called upon, always interrupting and do not have the patience to take turns. With these symptoms, it makes it harder for the child to have good academic performance, a stable home-life and have problems developing social relationships.

Enlarged Tonsils can be one of the causes of ADHD. If the tonsils are enlarged, they will get in the way of breathing, sleeping and cause mood swings. Lack of sleep, which causes mood swings and behavioral problems, could lead to the mental disorder. Tonsils can become so large that it can partially block or obstruct the upper breathing passage. This can lead to difficult breathing, gasping and snorting sounds. This condition is called adenotonillar hypertrophy. This is another name for enlarged tonsils. This causes sleeping disordered breathing.

There are muscles in the upper throat that keep the passages open. A symptom of SDB is loud snoring. When you are relaxed, the muscles move closer to each other, which cause this loud snoring sound. When having this condition it can make you have mood swings, behavioral problems, and interfere with your sleep.

If you think, your child has this disorder take them to see a doctor. Learn about it and get your child tested, if you suspect that your child might have it.

My Easter Day

I enjoyed my family on Easter. We had church in our home and read a few verses from the Bible and ate dinner together like a family should. It was the most beautiful thing in my life that I could ever ask for. I am so bless to have such a wonderful and fun loving family.

Hetic Life

My kids are such a handful, they make me laugh, cry, proud and angry. It's never a boring day in my household. It ranges from playing, to laughing, to arguing, to screaming and back loving again it's a merry go round.

Yes I have been prescribed medication, I really need it, I have high blood pressure. Oh! man don't let me talk about my sister it's a never ending battle. Long story and don't want to talk about. I love and appreciate every single moment of my life. I have love and family, that is all one needs to have joy.

No matter how many headaches, how much hair falls out and how much frustration builds I will always love my life, even if I'm going gray and only have a few strings of hair. I might not look my best, but I lived life with the best moments.

Life is not easy and we learn and experience this every single day.

Your kids might have low IQ's because the lack of eating their breakfast. A study was done at Ohio State University. Breakfast is like fuel for your body, it jumps starts your metabolism and it also controls your weight.

calcium is very important. Make sure they get daily intake of that.

Fiber is very important as well. Whole gains and fiber slows down the digestion. Many people don't know this but fiber and whole grains are fruit. Make sure your child at least get 1200 milligrams of calcium a day. Combining fiber and protein keep will keep them full longer. Make sure it's lean protein.

Also turkey bacon has protein in it as well. We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and yet we tend to skip it anyway. I had no idea that skipping lowers your IQ. You learn something new everyday. I'm going to make sure I eat something for breakfast even if it is just toast.

We certainly want the best for our children and making sure they are prepared nutritiously for the day makes them feel better and function properly. Even if you might not have time to eat breakfast, try buying some of those Nutri-Grain bars or breakfast cookies because we as parents need to take time out and take care of ourselves.

Just Me Trying To Be Cute

Last Night

Last night was kind of a hectic night. The kids were running wild around the house, they didn't know what they wanted for dinner and the rooms was a mess. I finally decide myself on what they were going to eat. We had Pork steaks with greens, cornbread and Alfredo pasta. After that I help with their homework and put them in the shower. That's not the end they energy was on full blast, play time is never over for them.

Drama, Drama, Drama. My oldest daughter loves it, she can become a very good actress someday. She craves attention all the time, she will do anything from pretending she's sick to finding things to do to irritate her sister and finding any little thing to do just to keep from going to sleep, so they never really go to bed on time.

Finally they got to sleep, actually everyone was asleep. I decide to start on another one of my short story called: The Other Sister I don't know if I posted my first short story for you guys, it's called Damaged I'll have to check and see and I will like some opinions if you don't mind.

Well, I'm off to finish my story chat later.

Oh! I did post my story Damaged I'd appreciate if you guys take the time to read it. Thanks.

What's on my mind

I been thinking a lot lately and I worry too much. I just have so many things that I want to accomplish and things have not been going my way. Can anyone relate? I can't seem to get along with my sister, the money is getting low and my goals are more difficult now more then ever. I'm not going to give up though, I was taught to always have faith and hope.

I truly believe that when my time come God will give me all that I've been wishing for and more. The thing is I can't give up, if I do I'll never get my rewards.

Signs Cheating Spouse

In the beginning, it is so sweet. Being with your lover is all you seem to think about, giving you that great intimacy that you need besides sex. Making you feel like no one else can, you feel so special and happy that you have found the right one. Years go by and things are still quiet the same, but something has changed. Their behavior, coming in late and always having to work over time, secretive phone calls and lack of sex. You put a lot into this relationship and to be betrayed is something that will not be tolerated. If there is no trust in a relationship, then there is no relationship. You think you know what is going on, but you are not sure. You hope it is not what you imagine it to be, but you are too ashamed to ask. Maybe these signs will give you an answer. If you see your spouse doing a few of these things, it necessarily does not mean they are cheating. If they are here are the events that take place when someone you love is cheating.

Signs of a Cheating Spouse:

A change in his underwear like buying new underwear that he normally does not wear.
Talking on the phone in a low voice like whispering.
Hangs up the phone the moment you walk into the room.
Immediately taking a shower after coming home
Smell of someone else’s perfume or cologne.
Lipstick on the collar
Leaving out the house to go the store and does not come back for hours.
Trying to provoke arguments just to find a way out of the house.
Working late hours all the time.
Lack of sex
Discovering strange charges on the credit cards that you know nothing about.
Quick to throw an attitude at you, getting less attention and makes you feel like you done something wrong.
Strange behavior, like being extra nice because of guilt.
Short conversations on the phone with you and never having time to talk.
Not having enough money to support the hours that came from working over time.
Marks on the body that could have came from sexual contact.
May not be able to get an erection or sexually aroused from sexual activity with someone else.
Attracting an STD and gives it to you.
Strange phone calls like hang-ups every time you answer the phone.
Having another cell phone separate from the one you know about.
Wanting you to call before you came to visit.

If you suspect that your partner is cheating these are just some signs to watch out for, confront this person and ask or if you do not want to ask do some investigating? You deserve to know, you do not want your life with a loved one to be based on a lie, and it is not healthy.
