All I can say is, "WOW!" I've heard that men may experience sympathy labor pains, or experience sympathy weight gain when there spouse, or significant other, is pregnant. I have two children of my own, so we've had an array of pregnancy-related experiences. I think my husband wanted my attention~
He called me at 11:12pm, at work, and wanted to inform me that he was, "Okay, but at the hospital in the emergency room." He had slipped on the ice-covered parking lot. Although he tried to recover and keep himself upright, the ice won the battle, tossing my husband to the ground. I say that he needed my attention in a very loving way, but come on now...the SAME ankle! All we can really do is laugh. I feel bad, but I know what a royal pain in the rear it's going to be to deal with it.
For those of you who know me, know my story. For those of you who don't, or may have not caught the whole story, I rolled my left ankle at work back on 11/9/10. I have been walking around on a fractured fibula for the past two months. Workers' Comp FINALLY authorized an MRI this past week. That's when they found the fracture and cartilage bruising. In a nut shell, I went to see the State-approved doc and he put me in a CAM walking boot. I call it my Herman Muenster boot.
So with my husbands' untimely injury, he will now get to go through Workers' Compensation doctors, just like me. We were talking about a game plan. My fracture didn't show up on the X-ray. Who knows if he has a fracture or if its a severe sprain. Hopefully for him, it's just a sprain. Otherwise, we will be sitting here together, fighting over the reclining chair to keep our feet up.

Taking on the Blog Spots...
So, I am not sure as to my purpose of the blog. I am not a great writer, scholar or intellect. I have my own opinions, and for those of you who really know me, I don't really care much if you like or dislike them. They are mine. And, here were are...at the starting point of something that I am not sure if I will continue or how often I will update this thing.
I am a driven, passionate woman, wife and mother of two awesome kids. When all else fails, they are there...Sometimes for the best laughs and then, we turn another corner, and they give me best challenges.
Motherhood IS...It just is Motherhood. And God knows, there is no manual.
Welcome to my blog...

Welcome to my blog...
What happens when you try to learn something new, you open a whole new can of worms...
So now that I have my first post under my belt, I would like to share with you something that occurred today.
I went to church today. Something I hadn't actually accomplished in several months. I've brought my kids to church and to Sunday school, but I took the backseat to the actual "going" part. At any rate, I actually made it to the adult session for Sunday school and had some enlightening conversations. All went well until I got home and onto FB.
Now, to me, there is nothing wrong with FB. If you have a moral problem with FB, then please stay off of it. If you are the type of person that may be tempted there, then, please stay away. Yes, there are some nutbags out there that don't belong...and I happened to stumble upon one of them this afternoon. What I read FLOORED ME! I know there are racist people..I know that there are people who are out there just to hurt their fellow man. I am not one of those people. I think that racist people are a little off their rocker, but who am I to judge, right!?!
At any rate, I was snooping around because, [YES! I'm about to admit this...] I really don't know what "Twitter" is all about. So, in doing so, I was horrified~ This man, calling himself "RacistAndre" caught my eye. I thought to myself...how harmless would it be to actually poke around and see what this guy was all about. If you read his first page...you could easily figure it out. And, you might be as horrified as I was when I first read his posts. The crazier part is...I kept reading because I guess I was interested in knowing what this man felt about white people and any other ethnic background except black. I mean, it was very obvious that he is pro "Black." It was also very obvious that if you were white, indian, asian or anything else, he has nothing nice to say.
I guess I choose to see the better in people, but always keep in my filing cabinet (aka my brain) that people have ill-intentions. I teach my kids the same principal. "There are people out there that make REALLY BAD choices, and some continue to make bad choices and stay in trouble." The CHOICE is yours...DAILY. In every moment, you have a CHOICE to be one way or the other. No one "makes" you do anything.
It is sickening to see the amount of racism that is still staring at us in the face. I also get that people stick with people they are familiar with...it's human nature. But, then here's the kicker....he calls himself a Christian. THAT about burst my bubble! Am I perfect? HELL NO! Do I make pretend? Sometimes...I wish I were [perfect] so that I could have a more organized or cleaner house, or I could manage my time better. So, yes, I sometimes want to appear that I actually have my crap together. But this is all what I have perceived to be perfect. And yet, this is my choice. I choose my chaotic life. I make it so. And I have every right to make another choice to have, in this case, more organization.
The things that this guy wrote, then the comments on top of what he wrote made me mad, but it was more saddening than anything else. There are people that really play the race card, (black, white hispanic, asian, whatever your cup of crap is...) against people. If you are QUALIFIED, "race" shouldn't matter. And by the way...there is only ONE race....the Human Race.
I have straight, gay, black, white, Asian, Indian and "other" friends. Your intentions as a HUMAN BEING mean more to me than your skin color. I have met people from all over the world and wouldn't change that for anything. Maybe I really DO care if you don't like "blacks, whites, Hispanics, Asians, etc" By doing so, one creates another divided highway. Come on people! I am a minority at work. I am white. Do I play "that" card? What is "that card" anyway? Who actually created "that" card and who are "they?" There are people of ALL COLORS that don't work, that set the drudgery of society, and it sucks for everyone else. There are hardworking people and there are also people that will take advantage of another at any opportunistic moment.There are also people living in the inner cities that are God-fearing, loving people and would give their shirt off of their backs if you were in need. It frustrates me to no end the BS we, as society, focuses on.
My one friend simply stated, "...half of the crap is inherited from [the] predecessor."
