Dealing with kids

Okay I know that alot of people have kids. I have one whom I love dearly but I wish sometimes that he came with instructions. Mine is a very special boy. He is artistic, smart and very funny. He is not perfect but he is mine and I would not trade him for the world. He has issues with impulse control and anger so that leads to problems. We have had an excellent school year so far but recently he has been acting up and I have no clue to what has triggered it. I think we let up on him as far as rules and things. He does much better with a tight schedule and knowing the rules ahead of time. He is young emotionally but big physically so that in and of itself are problems. I just want so much for him to be happy, well adjusted and able to function in the world. He has soo much to share with the world. I see him doing great things. I know every parent says that bout their children but he is really different and unique and has that extra spark. I guess allot of the issues are mine and not his. He has not been an easy child to raise. He is not like the Brady kids.. perfect and normal. I know the road he has will always be difficult I just pray for strength to help him through..

Budding Writer

B has decided he wants to now type his books. He has been writing stories(well I wrote them for him before he could write) since he was about 4. There are tons of his scribblings all over my house. I try to contain them but to no avail. So he told me he wanted to type is stories now. Well we get to my mothers and used her computer since she keeps him while I work. We open a word doc,name it and explained how to save it.
Well he stared and it is slow going he is hunting and pecking. He said typing was too hard and he will do it this way for awhile. He has worked on this story everyday for about 2 weeksWell he stared and it is slow going he is hunting and pecking. He said typing was too hard and he will do it this way for awhile. He has worked on this story everyday for about 2 weeks. He won't let me read it but my mother said the chapers are days in the life of Mr.Monk. Now who Mr. Monk is I have no idea.But he can write all he wants he may be the next Clive Cussler or Nora Roberts. I don't care as long as he is happy.

Be Happy

I read all kinds of blogs, web pages etc. everyday while working. One from Laurell K Hamilton really struck me. She resolved to be happy which I think is excellent. Only we can change ourselves and our environment. I had someone from my past ask me recently what happened to me. My first response was what do you mean? Then I realized LIFE happened to me- Marriage, childbirth,divorce etc..I had become afraid, negative and fearful. So not like me at all but I guess like I had allowed myself to be. But after reading her post I thought I would make the conscious decision to change my outlook and look for positive in everything and just be happy to be alive.

Save the Contempory

I Hope this works

I'm still here...

Vertical Horizon is playing- I'm still here as I type this out. I haven' t been in the mood to write anything book or blog.. My muse is not talking to me soo nothing going right now. Just checking in. Have an EXCELLENT Monday!

Missed my Friends

Well I just got off the phone with my friend Lisa T. They are in Pittsburg at RT (Romantic Times Booklovers Convention). Every year we all go but this year sadly I did not get to attend. Just not in the finacial cards this year. I really need that trip though it is good for me to have "adult time". I am a single parent and have full custody of my child so it helps me to have some me time. Usually we -my group of best girlfriends go to this con. So I am hoping no I am going to New Orleans in November to be see all them.

How to Tell...

Okay I am back for another installment of "How tell if your boyfriend is the Antichrist" by Patricia Carlin. Since I have been reading lots of paranormal stuff I figured this one was apropos for today.

How to tell if your boyfriend is a Vampire?

1-Can be kind of a leech

2-Hints that your crucifix makes you look fat

3-Doesn't show up in photos

4-Turned off by turtlenecks

Should you break up with him?

What is is about those strangely hypnotic eyes? You feel powerless to resist. In no time at all, this man will declare his undying love for you. But the vampire's "love" can quickly become overwhelming. Soon it will begin to feel like he's sucking the life right out of you. You have to leave him and unfortunately you are looking at a messy break up.

Personally I like the the hypnotic eyes well normal eyes- something bout looking into the eyes of your BF and seeing what is there or not there..lol

-Well for me a vampire might just be the perfect man. Without the whole blood sucking thing which is icky but he is up nights like I am (bad insomnia)- not around during the day to bother me..so yeah I could dig the creature of the night thing.. Downside of not showing up in photos your friends will not believe he exists unless they meet him. Then if he meets your friends are they going to be his next meal? Since your neck is off limits. So many questions. I wonder what would be the perfect boyfriend? Got to think on that.

How to Tell....

Second installment of "How to tell if your Boyfriend is the Antichrist by Patrica Carlin..



How to tell if your boyfriend is POSSESSED BY DEMONS..





1-Sometimes you feel you don't know him at all

2-He can be quite the potty mouth

3-Red-eye episodes are not limited to photographs.

4-You have to be on top so he doesn't levitate.



Should you break up with him? You don't have to break up--you just have to find a good exorcist to tackle this problem. But check references thoroughly, as your boyfriend could die if his exorcist sucks. And under no circumstances should you attempt to perform the exorcism yourself-expelling demons is not like fixing a leaky faucet.

This one was funny to me.. just think you don't like his personality go sleep and he would wake up with a new one- granted it might be serial killer one but maybe not..you just never know.
Personally I would be put off by the red-eye thing but some women just want a man..lol. None - well as far as I know of my dates were possessed but you never know. The potty mouth well I did date one man who could cuss like a sailor then I found out he was in the navy. Really...
Now being on top is fun so me I don't see that as a down side but the whole head turing all the way around would kind of kill the mood.

How to tell....

I got this book by Patricia Carlin called How to Tell if your Boyfriend is the Antichrist and if he is should I break up with him.My friends think I need dating advice but not sure if this is book for me. It is pretty funny and I thought I could talk about each one. Here is the first one

How to tell if your boyfriend is a
TOTAL BASTARD
1-He asks you to watch his kids while he takes out his other girlfriend
2-Argues that it's not his fault he wrecked your car, because he was drunk.
3-Thinks you do look fat in those jeans.
4-Tells you to call him when you're "not on the rag."
5-Strangled your puppy because you forgot to pick up his smokes.

Should you break up with him?
Is he really a just a hurt little boy at heart? Maybe. But he is a mean little boy. Don't be tempted to think you can change him. He'll only turn into a mean bastard, too. Break up..


To me lots of those things that would be a given to break up-but sometimes you need to have it hammered into your head numerous times to get the message.It kind of fits one of the men I dated but not all. Well parts of it fit my ex. He thought after I had our son that I would return to work and his girlfriend would move into the our basement and take care of our son. That was his solution for our marriage to work.. Yeah right. We are now divorced so you see I did not like his solution.

Hold on Dorothy

Well since I last was online we had 5 tornados in my home town and been without power 5 days. I want my hair dryer. Plus I now need to really wash clothes -small boys get really really dirty. The only good thing out of all this is no one was killed. Lots of damage trees down power lines down and my neighbors chimney on my garage.Yes that is it. My mom just called I now have power!! Yeah I can wash.. clean up.. dry my hair! Now to wait for my insurance adjuster to arrive so I can get my house fixed. I am so thankful no one in my family was hurt or really anyone was injured during this storm. Hopefully I will be able to blog now on a more regular basis. Still writing just chugging along.

write write write

Well before I mentioned that I was thinking bout writing a book well I have been writing down ideas and characters, histories and everything I can think of to get some idea of where my story could go. It is easy some days and excruciating others. I don't have all the mechanics yet but as one writer says if you wanna write you gotta write..so I am.

I know lots of authors have different ways of putting out a story. Plot, outline etc. I am going at it with the idea then filling in. I will have to let someone read it before I post anything.

I have been writing mostly on paper cause my computer has died a cruel and painful death. I need to purchase a new one but that will have to wait because I just had to buy a new washer/dryer. So no extra money this month and it is only the 2 of April.

Holy Moley!!

Okay- well since I have a young child most of my tv watching consists on SpongeBob Square Pants and the like but lately I have been watching Lipstick Jungle..HOLY MOLEY!! The actor that is playing Kirby..OMG hot hot hot..don't think I would kick him out of bed for eating crackers...lol.

Which brings up some interesting questions. First the story is dealing with infidelity and then older women/younger men duo.

Well I for one do not care for the infidelity. You make a vow and that is it. You want to play around don't get married or get divorced then play around. Cheating is a deal breaker for me I don't care how hot the person is.

Next the older woman/younger man. I like this idea..Women know what we want and young men have the energy and/or stamina to deliver it. Personally I have always dated younger men heck my ex was 7 years younger than me. Alot of my friends ask why? First I do look much younger than I am-they would claim I act much younger than I really am. and Well they are the only ones who ask me out. Either really young or men that could be my great great Grandpa. So yeah I dig younger men..now if I could just find me one like him...

Lost hour of sleep

Yes today is Monday the day after daylight savings (DLS) went into effect. I am so exhausted - I have insomnia and losing that hour is like a double whammy. I found out that DLS- is said to increase traffic accidents by 30%. I read that somewhere and judging by the way I feel I can believe it..
Well my school's team is advancing to the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament. They won in the last 4.3 seconds of the game. It was an exciting game. I had to go to the bathroom so bad with about 3 minutes left but I didn't want to leave for fear of missing something. Of course when the buzzer sounded everyone rushed the floor -me I rushed the bathroom! I am so proud of our guys- they did not give up.

Yeah for me I found out I won a contest on http://jayeblahg.blogspot.com. I get FREE BOOK.
My entry was,Well since you are making us pick one I am gonna go for the "youngster" Henry Fitzroy.. kind of boy toy..with super powers..something about that grin slays me every time He is cultured and sexy as sin and appreciates an older woman....Love Dakoyta and Jaye..okay that was my lame attempt at sucking up..
I do do love that show - I am disappointed that it just disappeared. I was hoping it would at least have some type of conclusion. I am talking about Blood Ties-that was on Lifetime.

Well since that show has gone I am now waiting on True Blood by Charlaine Harris on HBO. I love those books I feel that she has nailed the small southern town culture. Being southern and living in one of the states she features in one of her books I knew all the places she was talking bout and she got it all correct. I look forward to this show and the rest of the books in this series.

Well I am off to watch a pinewood derby race and hope that th Snake dino car wins..

Basketball babes and brouhaha

Yes it is the start of MARCH MADNESS.. little background first. I work in athletic department and we are hosting an event at our school. So yes it is insane at this time. I am hoping we will win this round and advance to the next. I know that all this preparation will make things run smoothly once the tournament starts.

Okay now we have talked about basketball let's talk about babes--I have been reading another blog -http://jayeblahg.blogspot.com/ and they asked you to pick your favorite vampire you would like to adopts..The posts are fast and furious. One crowd likes the angsty brooding vamps. Some go for the snarky type, some the whole bad boy persona and then others for the full blown alpha male.
Me?? I go for the walk softly carry a really Big stick kind of man. ok- ok there are alot of ways to take this. I like man- vampire to be more of corporate shark..lol wear a nice suit
but have the "stick" to back up any talk..Not afraid of anything. I also like the blue jean wearing ones as well.. I guess my fav changes with my mood. Like a man to be a man or vamp as the case may be..
More babes..Basketball players just walked by yummy...okay they were...

Now for the brouhaha just kidding no brouhaha ..just like to say that word. Maybe after tonite there may be some.

one for the money...two..

Okay here we go..
Well for some time I have been sort of in a holding pattern.. I am divorced single mom trying to find where I fit in. I know myself better than ever but there are still dark spots I want to clear out. I want to find a new job. I have outgrown my present position and there is no room for advancement here.
I have also been kicking the idea around of writing a book. I have several ideas for plots but really need to educate myself on writing a book- I have no idea where to start one. I want to do it correctly so to the library I go to get started on my research.
