Politics. From a 6y olds standPoint.
So me and Bryson were leaving the store today, and out of no where he gets a real concerned look on his face and asks me "Mommy, who are you voting for President? Are you going to vote for Obama?" I said yes, actually I am. With a slight chuckle that my 6yr old is asking me this question. I then asked him why he wanted to know. He said he was just curious and wanted to make sure I was voting for Obama because he was. ((ummm okk not sure how that's gonna work, but okay.. lol)) He said he wanted change. This struck my curiosity so I started asking questions and why he was voting for change. He simply stating he wanted change. Now, really amused I asked him what he wanted to change??? He said he wanted Obama to change things so he could go swimming everyday and he wanted more money. Okk Bry, I feel ya on the money part but swimming?? LOL I believe that's a lil out of Obama's jurisdiction. Hah. So I went into a few details about what the President can or can't do for us and he nodded his head like he understand. I'm still amazed I am discussing politics with my 6yr old. I think when I was 6 the only thing I was worried about was what to dress my Barbie's in for that day. LOL. Never to early to start huh? Go Bryson! Go Obama! Go Change!

Twenty Things to Remember - Thx Nanna
1. Faith is the ability to not panic.
2. If you worry, you didn't pray. If you prayed, don't worry.
3. As a child of God, prayer is kinda like calling home every day.
4. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.
5. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot.
6. Do the math. Count your blessings.
7. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.
8. Dear God: I have a problem. It's me.
9. Silence is often misinterpreted, but never misquoted.
10. Laugh every day - it's like inner jogging.
11. The most important things in your home are the people.
12. Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional. (Preach it!)
13. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open. Come on in.
14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry. (Anger does more damage to the person who carries it than the person that it is poured on.)
15. He who dies with the most toys is still dead.
16. We do not remember days but moments. Life moves too fast so enjoy your precious moments.
17. Nothing is real to you until you experience it; otherwise it's just hearsay.
18. It's all right to sit on your pity pot every now and again. Just be sure to flush when you are done.
19. Surviving and living your life successfully requires courage. The goals and dreams you're seeking require courage and risk-taking. Learn from the turtle, it only makes progress when it sticks out its neck.
20. Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting. Leave gentle fingerprints on the soul of another for the angels to read. I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.
10-27 Thought For The Day:
To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket -- safe, dark, motionless, airless -- it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.

UNT!TLED; Dear Diary
I feel like my life has come to a stand still. Where I am just sitting here looking life head on & wondering what next?? I feel like I have begun to settle in life. I have stopped wanting more out of life & more for myself & honestly don;t know why. If you knew me about two years ago, you probably wouldn;t even recognize the person you see before your eyes right now. Not saying that;s a good thing, or a bad thing. Those people who knew me years ago look at me now & say I seem happier than I have ever been in life. & I am. But at the same time, I am constantly fearing, what next?? I have met an amazing set of friends & family, yet when I go home at night, I feel so lost & alone. I can be sitting in the middle of a crowd while everyone is laughing enjoying their selves, yet feel so alone. Change is a scary thing. & right now I am going thru so many changes. Personally; Emotionally; Financially; Mentally. I normally cope so well with change. I adapt. I just can;t seem to adapt to changes lately. But I do know something needs to change. But why do I have to always be the one to do that? Somewhere in this crazy chaotic confusing world I feel I have lost myself. But where to even begin to look for myself is the question. Idk maybe I am just having a moment but I feel like I have so much on my mind. Yet when it comes out, I am at a lost for words. I know I sound crazy at times, but if you know me, then you already know I am. So what;s new. I wish I could find the special immunity from all the hurt & pain in the world & pass it on to myself & friends nd family. Everyone seems to be fighting their own battles right now. I hate it. I just want to be happy in life & everyone else to be as well. Seems like every time I am at my peek of happiness something or someone comes & fukks it up. Do you ever wonder what if?? Like what if you could go back & change one part of your life, would you? Or do you believe everything happens for a reason? As much as I sometimes wish I could redo certain events in my life I feel each experience has made me who I am. I am a FiRM believer that everything happens for a reason, EVERYTHING. Sometimes we just don;t understand or know the meaning of it til later on in life when it;s meant for us to. Despite all the crazy emotions & thoughts running thru my head at the end of the day I put a smile on my face & remain strong. I can;t let anyone see how fragile in life I have become. I have been thru worse & overcame it. This should be nothing. I must remain strong & defeat all the obstacles that are faced before me. I have no choice. I have a wonderful son that who, at the end of the day reality is, we only have each other. I feel so foolish for even allowing myself to become this way. But all feelings & emotions are temporary & can be changed. They will be.

To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time.

UNT!TLED; thanks.
Jus wanted to say THANK YOU for my friends and family who REMEMBERED my birthday nd took the extra two seconds out of their day to jus say a simple "happy birthday" or for those who actually went above and beyond for it.
For some reason I kept getting sad this weekend. Feeling like the "forgotten/unwanted step child of the group". You always say "fam first", right? So why is it that only select fam matters and the other few we just brush under the rug until we decide to have something to do with them? I kept trying to not let it get to me.. thinking I'd get a call or text or something sometime during the week or even that weekend. But nope. Nada.
I have never really been invited to your outings; maybe one here and there on a random occasion, but not often. I know everyone just gets caught up in their own worlds and their own lil circles at times. But I still always thought that at the end of the day, like we say..
"FAM FIRST ALWAYS"

- Al Sharpton Convicted -
Rev. Al Sharpton was convicted in New York yesterday of disorderly conduct during a May protest against a fatal police shooting.
Why cant ya protest in an orderly fashion???
Sean Bell was tragically, violently, unnecessarily gunned down by police on his wedding day. The cops who killed him were found innocent. And, in response, more than 250 protesters gathered, blocking bridges, tunnels and intersections.
Sharpton and several others were arrested at the time. Most of the cases were dismissed, however Sharpton and his co-defendants insisted on a trial.
Criminal Court Judge Larry Stephen delivered the verdict Wednesday, and Sharpton, along with seven others have been sentenced to time served.
Sharpton's already served 5 1/2 hours in jail. Earlier in the trail he testified that the protests were peaceful, intending to stop violence, not start it.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

10-08 Thought For The Day:
Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality. It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions. And the actions which speak louder than the words. It is making the time when there is none. Coming through time after time after time, year after year after year. Commitment is the stuff character is made of; the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism.

KuDoS for KiCKBoXiNG!
Last night I drug Gaby to the gym with me to workout!! I'm staying motivated and helping her to get motivated ;) hehe.. we were both hella stressed out and had tons on our mind so I figured what better way to go relieve some stress than go work it out! We started off doing weights.. then went and did an ab class.. wewh.. that kicked our butt. BUT we still weren't done! Decided to take a kickboxing class after that! We LOVED it!! The guy teaching it was awesome and you did not stop moving once during the whole HOUR LONG CLASS! it worked every part of your body plus gave us some good ass-whooping skills!! haha.. The class finished up by doing an ab workout to a Ying Yang song which was hilarious but a great workout. We left the gym feeling soo much better and decided to go home and finish it off with a pilates workout for our upper body. Psshh.. don't even sleep on us..

UNT!TLED; Personal Thoughts
So much on my mind lately, yet I have little to say. I lay there in a daze. Confused and unsure of my next move or what to think. How is it that the two people closest to you can betray you so quick and so easily? How does a person really recover from that? My trust is gone. I would have done anything for these people. But my heart they took it and destroyed it where I don't know how it will ever be the same again. They say keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Guess I was just apart of their lil game they decided to play. Never taken into consideration who they may hurt in the meantime. I can deal with her. But him? I am not sure. I just sit there and ask God for guidance. To help me pick up the pieces of my shattered heart and to be able to one day put them back together again. As I look at the pictures of who you idol and fantasize over it hits me that quick, I am not who you want. You can criticize me and try to change me, but at the end of the day I am ME and that’s all I can and ever will be. I have tried to become this person you wanted in your life. Your trophy wife, so to say. I look in the mirror today and don’t even recognize the person I see. My reflection is there, but it’s not me. My life has been drained in order to become this person I am not. Meanwhile she just sits back and laughs and mocks the situation. The harder I work, the better she looks you mention. The glorious “glo” as I become the “joke” of the day. How is it that between these two people who you value most in your life, they can break you down so much? Make you feel worthless, useless and ugly? How was I so stupid and blind not to see all the facts right in front of me? I feel so foolish. You said you changed, but realistically I was the one doing the changing. I trusted you, I believed in you. I valued your word when you said you would never hurt me. THE BOTH OF YOU! So now, I just sit here. At a lost of words. Unsure of my next move or how to recover from such mockery. We were supposed to be a family. All of us. I opened my house and my family up to you and look how you betrayed me. As much as I want to sit here and seek revenge, I won’t. Everything happens for a reason and in the end… this experience will destroy you, yet make me that much stronger and wiser.
10-06 Thought For The Day:
Words are like bullets, once you say them you can never take them back. The wounds may heal, but forever leave a scar.

yupp.. think im in love..
There's never been any doubt what the world really needs, and it's finally here: a pink Hello Kitty notebook PC (Sanrio approved) complete with Swarovski crystals. According to an AP story at HappyNews.com, the lucky manufacturer is NEC, and La Vie G Hello Kitty is available online only for 199,500 yen ($1,650) in Japan.
The key part of the spec is obviously that it has 299 Swarovski crystals, Windows Vista Home Premium operating system, 1GB of memory, 100GB hard drive.
It is being advertised as a laptop that's "dazzling and gorgeous like a jewelry box".
.. UPDaTE ..
So its been right about a week since I started my new quest and set my weight loss-get fit goal.. and just wanted to post an update. So far I have been to the gym almost every single day since I set my goal except for a day or two where based on certain unforeseen circumstances I wasn't able to make it to the gym. But I still did my Pilates at home so it wasn’t a complete waste of a day. I feel SOOOO good about the changes I am seeing in my body! I am already half way to my weight loss goal and can tell a huge difference in just how I feel and the clothes I put on. So as a special treat to myself, last night I got this sexy lil dress to wear for my birthday NEXT WEEK!! Yay! It doesn’t stop here though.. still have less than a week to go and couldn’t be more excited about it =)
SPECiAL THANKS to Teresa, Gaby, Teck and Yaya for all the help with Bryson so I can go to the gym and of course these ladies and my hubby for keeping me motivated daily!! Love you guys!!!
Until Next Time..
