About Me

Burlington, NC, United States
All I can say about me is that I am a survivor of domestic violence. The only good thing that came out of my first marriage is that I have three wonderful sons and that I am now a much stronger person, I have grown into a better person. I am now married to a great man who has adopted my sons, and loves them as his own, as they are his now..he even says that the two younger ones look like him...my life is good. I have a son with autism so that has become a goal in my life, to help raise awareness and find a cure. I also have a son that is Bi-polar, and well all I can say is that autism is easy to deal with compared to Bi-polar disorder, well that is a little blurb about me.

Listen to music as you read!!!!

Update....

I know it has been awhile since I have blogged anything, so just to update everyone about my crazy life.....well I am in my 3rd week of nursing school..and the workload in crazy and intense....plus trying to work and take care of the kids....here is a brief glimpse of the madness....Monday, Thursday, and Fridays I wake up at 5am to get ready for class and I am in class until about 3pm...one Tuesday and Wednesday I get up at 4am because I have clinicals starting at 6:45am till 3:30pm...plus I work EVERY Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 6pm...now keep in mind I have 3 kids that I have to run to there school and doctors and sporting stuff....and somewhere in there I have to do homework and OH I almost forgot I have a husband in this madness to try to spend time with...and he is still in school and working 2 jobs.....the madness is taking over...
My school is in Charlotte NC and the traffic there SUCKS!!!! Gas prices SUCK.. Food prices SUCK....so we can no longer afford to live in the apartment we have, so we are "downgrading" ourself to a more affordable apartment...in a less "nice" neighborhood...So on top of everything we are in the process of packing to move. I hopefully will post less crazy stuff next time....until then Peace, Love and much happiness.

New Job...

I know it has been awhile since I have been on here, but my new job has me totally tired and confused all the time...I am working night shift (12 hour shifts) in an emergency room as a ED Technician...basically I do everything the nurses DON'T want to do...foleys, EKG's...etc.... I have come to the conclusion that I DO NOT want to be a nurse..at least now...maybe when my kids are older. Life is too short for this crap....I miss my husband and kids..and sleep most of all...I am searching on finding a job in my old profession...(medical assisting or even go back into teaching)...Don't get me wrong nursing is great..but I want to enjoy my kids while they are still young and plus enjoy my life as well....I don't want the stress of nursing right now....Just wanted to update everyone....I am going to try and get some sleep right now ..because I have to work tonight...YUCK!!!!

I have a complaint!!!!

Ok, today I have no pictures or really anything cute to say...Life this past week really sucks...My son with autism is really having a hard time, his meds are not working any more and so he is like a bottle rocket ready to explode..we are starting him on new meds and treatments..so keep your fingers crossed. And now onto another part that sucks...I made a trip to Ohio over the weekend and was supposed to meet up with some friends..but after the plans were made..no one showed up..I drove 7 seven hours for nothing...I am hurt, pissed, and very disappointed....Life in NC sucks as well...I can not find child care anywhere for my kids so I can start back to nursing school....so even after all the crap I went through I still might not get to go....I hate it here......I visited my birth-mother while I was in Ohio and well..the visit started out pretty good then ended up in a shouting match....we will never have a relationship that a mother and daughter should have...I quit trying at this point in my 38 yrs of life...it is not worth it. I have so much bad feelings locked inside me right now that I feel like I want to scream...and of course my husband doesn't understand....he is a man why would he....

National Autism Awareness Day!!!

Todays post will be about my wonderful, beautiful and amazing son. He is unique and loved so much. I would NOT change him, I think he is perfect in every way, my only dream is to have the world see him as I do. I see him as a child that see and lives in the world differently. He is a true gift from GOD and I treasure every second I have with him.

Remember autism effects 1 in 150 children and 1 in 94 of boys are effected. Awareness is the key along with education of society about this disorder. Today April 2 is National Autism Day and April is Autism Awareness Month.

All me love, peace and blessings.

Time out for a political message!!!

March 20, 2008 - Thursday

Barack Obama ?
Current mood: nervous
Category: Religion and Philosophy

Ken Blackwell - Columnist for the New York Sun

It’s an amazing time to be alive in America. We’re in a year of firsts in this presidential election: the first viable woman candidate; the first viable African-American candidate; and, a candidate who is the first front-running freedom fighter over 70. The next president of America will be a first.

We won’t truly be in an election of firsts, however, until we judge every candidate by where they stand. We won’t arrive where we should be until we no longer talk about skin color or gender. Now that Barack Obama steps to the front of the Democratic field, we need to stop talking about his race, and start talking about his policies and his politics.

The reality is this: Though the Democrats will not have a nominee until August, unless Hillary Clinton drops out, Mr. Obama is now the frontrunner, and its time America takes a closer and deeper look at him. Some pundits are calling him the next John F. Kennedy. He’s not. He’s the next George McGovern. And it’s time people learned the facts.

Because the truth is that Mr. Obama is the single most liberal senator in the entire U.S. Senate. He is more liberal than Ted Kennedy, Bernie Sanders, or Mrs. Clinton. Never in my life have I seen a presidential frontrunner whose rhetoric is so far removed from his record. Walter Mondale promised to raise our taxes, and he lost. George McGovern promised military weakness, and he lost. Michael Dukakis promised a liberal domestic agenda, and he lost.

Yet Mr. Obama is promising all those things, and he’s not behind in the polls. Why? Because the press has dealt with him as if he were in a beauty pageant. Mr. Obama talks about getting past party, getting past red and blue, to lead the United States of America. But let’s look at the more defined strokes of who he is underneath this superficial "beauty."

Start with national security, since the president’s most important duties are as commander-in-chief. Over the summer, Mr. Obama talked about invading Pakistan, a nation armed with nuclear weapons; meeting without preconditions with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who vows to destroy Israel and create another Holocaust; and Kim Jong II, who is murdering and starving his people, but emphasized that the nuclear option was off the table against terrorists - something no president has ever taken off the table since we created nuclear weapons in the 1940s. Even Democrats who have worked in national security condemned all of those remarks. Mr. Obama is a foreign-policy novice who would put our national security at risk.

Next, consider economic policy. For all its faults, our health care system is the strongest in the world. And free trade agreements, created by Bill Clinton as well as President Bush, have made more goods more affordable so that even people of modest means can live a life that no one imagined a generation ago. Yet Mr. Obama promises to raise taxes on "the rich." How to fix Social Security? Raise taxes. How to fix Medicare? Raise taxes. Prescription drugs? Raise taxes. Free college? Raise taxes. Socialize medicine? Raise taxes. His solution to everything is to have government take it over. Big Brother on ste roids, funded by your paycheck.

Finally, look at the social issues. Mr. Obama had the audacity to open a stadium rally by saying, "All praise and glory to God!" but says that Christian leaders speaking for life and marriage have "hijacked" - hijacked - Christianity. He is pro-partial birth abortion, and promises to appoint Supreme Court justices who will rule any restriction on it unconstitutional. He espouses the abortion views of Margaret Sanger, one of the early advocates of racial cleansing. His spiritual leaders endorse homosexual marriage, and he is moving in that direction. In Illinois, he refused to vote a gainst a statewide ban - ban - on all handguns in the state. These are radical left, Hollywood, and San Francisco values, not Middle America values

The real Mr. Obama is an easy target for the general election. Mrs. Clinton is a far tougher opponent. But Mr. Obama could win if people don’t start looking behind his veneer and flowery speeches. His vision of "bringing America together" means saying that those who disagree with his agenda for America are hijackers or warmongers. Uniting the country means adopting his liberal agenda and abandoning any conflicting beliefs.

But right now everyone is talking about how eloquent of a speaker he is and - yes - they’re talking about his race. Those should never be the factors on which we base our choice for president. Mr. Obama’s radical agenda sets him far outside the American mainstream, to the left of Mrs. Clinton.

It’s time to talk about the real Barack Obama. In an election of firsts, let’s first make sure we elect the person who is qualified to be our president in a nuclear age during a global civilizational war.

Subject: Kind of scary, wouldn’t you think? Remember--God is good, and is in time, on time, every time. According to The Book of Revelations the anti-Christ is: The anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything. Is it OBAMA?? I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to repost this as many times as you can! Each opportunity that you have to send it to a friend or media outlet...do it! If you think I am crazy..I’m sorry but I refuse to take a chance on the "unknown" candidate.
