I keep thinking about this Lauryn Hill song that is based on a Bible verse:

Forgive them Father for they know not what they do.

One of the things that I am learning in my years is that people who may appear to be your friend, really are not. As the song says, they mistake your kindness for weakness, and they are nothing more than wolves in sheep coats.

I know who my friends are. No longer will I be mistaken.

I know who cares for me and my family and would not… Continue

Here are some of the memorable events that took place for my baby shower.

Friday, my dear friend Tammy, who I hadn't seen in 12 years drove down with her boyfriend for the shower.

Today has been a remarkably blessed day. I guess I could come up with a motto along the lines of:

Or maybe something similar to:

He who laughs last laughs hardest...but he sure did a lot of crying before.

But I'd rather focus on what I really think is going on and start with an African Proverb that says:

If you climb a good tree, you get help.

You see, I've been dealt some rather low blows in life. I've had some ro… Continue

Can someone PLEASE tell me if there's a full moon out?

I swear, people need to get their shit together.

Since 5:25 this is what has happened to me (oh, it's 7:39 now...)

~ I called Warren's babysitter to ask her to bring him to the house. I did this because since it's getting colder and darker, courtesy of the fall and "fall back" daylight savings hour, I didn't want to spend that extra time walking down there, getting him, chit chatting with them about NOTHING, then f… Continue
