My Heckle & Jeckle. Yes, these two make my world go 'round. Sometimes, it's a never ending, revolving, cycle. Gotta Love Them! Between school, church, choir rehearsal, figure skating, football, travel, and good old family time-there's not much time left for anything else. "ME TIME" is a must. I get it whenever I find a niche. They can be more than a notion, but it's all worth it. Raising a child in the way you would have them go is a must. Later in life, they look back and say "Thank You" for giving them guidance, love, support, and a solid foundation.

"What's Love Gotta Do With It"

I've been missing in action, but now after some re-grouping, am back in full effect. What in the world is going on with relationships? I chose to write in the color red because I'm a bit ticked off! A close friend of mine (I'll call her Blue-J) ,has been married 6 years, has three children, a new house, a lazy, unconcerned husband, and is in the midst of getting a divorce, putting her house on the market, and moving to Atlanta. Mind you, the last child is just 3 months old, and the other two are 4 and 5. If the relationship was on the rocks, why didn't someone say something before the act of conception took place? Now I am nowhere near perfect nor am I throwing stones, but come on people! When does this ugly cycle end? Women tend to cater to their mates needs, end up having kids, work 40-55 hours a week, and find out later that what they envisioned as "somewhat of a disfunctional family" was a hoax or just a dream. The husband decides he can't take anymore, and just walks out. He does not answer any phone calls on his cell, doesn't make any calls to check on his kids, and is not concerned about how the mortgage is getting paid or how the wife and kids are surviving. This is a bunch of "BULLSHIT"! Each time a woman's spirit is broken, it take a cool minute before she can re-group and keep living. Being a single parent of 1 is bad enough. But, to be the single parent of 3 is just plain absurd! Blue-J did not sign up for the additional hoopla. She only responded to a single question, "Will you Marry Me". This makes me wonder is marriage really worth all of the hype that it receives? Do the sacrifices truly outweigh the drama? What's Love Gotta Do With It! Not a Damn Thang! When we stay strong, don't take any bullshit, and keep it movin', we are labeled as Mean Bitches. When we allow the weakest, bull headed, mother fucka to penetrate our fortress, many times we end up with the short end of the stick. We are constantly forgiving, caring, and loving. Is there no end to a life of uncertainties, raw deals, and just random acts of stupidity? The world may never know. I will keep Blue-J and any strong woman in a situation such as this held up in prayer.
