A Little Smile

A Day Off...

I finally got a day off and how did I spend it getting my nails done with the girls at work.

I forgot what it was like to have adult time.

No kids.

No customers yelling for more to drink.

No flirting to make tips.

I so didn't know how to act. Of course, we had a good time being that we all know each other. It was so much fun to just kick back and relax with a group of women.

Of course with us all working together we had to goose each other and laugh continuously. I so forgot what it was like to sit around and laugh just to laugh. The poor waitress at the truck stop probably thought us insane or even thought we were lesbians the way we were acting. Who knows and frankly I really don't care.

I spent an enjoyable day out with friends that I work with.

Even our little waiter Josh came with us. Every girl knows the type a pretty boy at 18 us girls took him out got him his first earring and first high lighted hair do done. He looks absolutely stunning if you ask me. We are trying to teach him how to make money on the floor the way we do. Yeah, I know how hard it is for the male waiter so we kinda have to get him turned in the right direction. So we are making him over. Now we have to take him shopping for nicer clothes and teach him how to flirt.

It really doesn't take much to make him smile so at times you will see one of us walk by him grab his butt which he smiles and continues to do so which will always improve the tip left on the table. He is enjoying the attention he is now getting and loving every minute of it.

Yet, this is just the start of our reconstruction of Joshua the Pretty Boy.

Give me some time and I will show you the finished product.

My Father-in-law sent this to me...

WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENT, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?

My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of Iraq regime has been completed.

Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete.

This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq.This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now to begin the reckoning.

Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short. The United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria, Australia, and Poland are some of the countries listed there.

The other list contains everyone not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war.

The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Hell-holes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.

Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France.

In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home. On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.

Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France, or maybe China.

I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France, Germany, and Russia. Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well. Bon chance, mes amis.

I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York.

A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not pissing us off for a change.

Mexico is also on List 2. President Fox and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra tank and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put em? Yep, border security. So start doing something with your oil.

Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now.

We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for oil in Alaska - which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there. They care.

It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, "darn tootin."

Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America. It is time to eliminate homelessness in America. It is time to eliminate World Cup Soccer from America. To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thanks guys. We owe you and we won't forget.

To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic.

God bless America. Thank you and good night.

If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you are reading it in English, thank a soldier.

Food for thought?

Ok, I just read this and was sickened by the thought of children, especially disabled children living like this. I hope these people go away for a very, very long time.

The Difference Between a Father and a Dad

I think I have discovered the answer to this after years and years of searching.

I have just discovered the words father and daddy mean two totally seperate things.

A father is suppose to nuture a child as definition states, but in today's society with all the step-parents about the definition of a father is moot.

A daddy on the same hand means the same thing.

Respectively these two words may mean the same things by definition, but by a man's actions they are two totally seperate things.

A father in my world means a man who donates his sperm and gives no follow-up care.

Whereas a daddy supports, loves, cares and nurtuers their child no matter if it is theirs or not.

This is of course my opinion and what do I know everyone has one I suppose.

The Time Has Come

Life is filled with many trials and tribulations.

I have heard all the little quips on life and how to endure. I have always thought of my children as my drive in life.

I have never stopped living my life because I was tired of trying or just plain tired. When you have children things change. They become your first thought when waking up in the morning and your last when going to bed at night.

I have never been a high maintenance woman. I tend to think of the bills and what the children need before what I need.

When I start feeling blue or melancholy, I usually grab up one of the kids and get lovies from them. Yes, I said lovies which is hugs and kisses as you know it.

When a parent loses interest in their life how will they be able to take care of their children? Plain and simple they can't. Why punish your kids because you can't help yourself?

If a parent gives up and has no fight left, how can they be effective as a parent? They can't.

Discipline. How can a parent discipline their children and teach right from wrong without spanking and getting the point across? Each child is different each with their own individuality and each child has their own way of thinking you have to adjust to the individual child.

Many states have statutes in place telling a parent that they can't spank their children because it is abuse. Yet, these statutes tell the kids that there are no consequences for their actions unless you plan on sending them to the corner or just don't take an interest in your child.

Without discipline there is no structure thus the reason you see kids having kids, you see kids killing, and you see more than enough sitting in prison tried as adults at the tender age of 13.

Discipline is not wrong as long as you know the difference between a beating and a spanking.

I mean come on how many times have you had a spanking? I know I have had my fair share especially when I was a kid. I told myself that I wouldn't spank. I was wrong. I do spank and now see why my mother and father chose to spank us.

When I was growing up it took a neighborhood to raise a child. I use to get spanked by my friend's parents for doing something out of line. I was a latch-key kid, although I don't want my kids being one, but I learned my limitations by getting spanked. Nothing is wrong with disciplining your child with a spanking when it is needed.

If you let your kids run wild they will eventually run over you and anyone else in between. It is not and will not be tolerated in my household.
