Kick Off

Okay ladies.... football season has officially begun. What are you to do? It's time to either go back to your old hobbies or find some new ones.  Back to watching those Lifetime movies and playing those Facebook games you gave up on for the summer. Anything to entertain yourself to keep your mind from going numb from the nonstop football on the television. Everywhere you look, there's football. Football commercials and football gear in the stores and  football on the tube. Football season has begun and your husband or man has found a new love.....football. Be glad it's football and not a another woman.  Well, at least during the football season. Your time spent with your sweetie revolves around what game is on. Unless your a football fan yourself and then you two can spend your time bonding during the game. You gotta love them though, football is part of the man you love.  Don't worry, you can have him back after the Super Bowl.

California Judge Rules The Military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Policy Unconstitutional

In Los Angeles, California a federal judge said she would put a halt to the "don't ask, don't" tell gay policy in the military. U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips ruled Thursday that the prohibition on openly military members was unconstitutional because it violates the 1st and 5th Amendment rights of gays and lesbians. During the non jury trial, Woods argued that the policy violates gay military members' rights to free speech, open association and right to due process as guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment. The decision will change the lives of many giving gays and lesbians the opportunity to openly serve their country. After the hearing Woods said, "It'll be an interesting decision for our president to decide whether to appeal this case. He's said that 'don't ask, don't tell' weakens national security, and now it's been declared unconstitutional," he said. "If he does appeal, we're going to fight like heck." More than 13,500 service members have been fired since 1994, the Log Cabin Republicans said. This is the second ruling from a California judge making great leaps in gay rights. Finally, those who are gay or lesbians can now proudly serve our country.

Joys of Motherhood

Society blames parents for children turning out the way they do. It's not always the parents. Sometimes we do our absolute best to raise our children to be a good person and it just doesn''t work. In some cases nature over-rides nurture and there's nothing you can do about it.  Each individual person has their own personality and in some cases you can't change that no matter how hard you try.  If a person is going to tell lies, then they are going to do it.  It doesn't mean, they have never been taught to not tell lies.  It just means they are who they are. As a parent sometimes the only thing you can do is the best you can.  Once your children grow up, they take over and they live their lives how they choose to live their life and you have no say in the matter.  When it comes to the point where you are becoming an enabler for bad behavior and poor choices then it's time to walk away. Your grown child may not understand, but eventually they have to learn they consequences for their own poor choices. They will never learn to make good choices if your constantly bailing them out every time they get themselves into a situation or when it comes to the point it is affecting your life negatively then it's time to let them feel the wrath of their poor choices.

1st Day of Middle School

Today was my son's first day of middle school.  I was fine until he walked out the door to get on the bus.  Just then it felt like his first day of kindergarten and my eyes began to get teary.  All summer, I had been thinking, "Wow, my little boy will be going to middle school this year. Things went well on his first day and he must have made a few new friends because there's a couple of new boys added to the pack and he came home acting as though he was now grown and too cool to listen to me. Kids are funny. They grow up too fast. He may be ready for this, but I'm not. He's on his way of becoming a teenager. Sometimes, I make him crazy and he tells me "Mom, I'm not a baby." It is so funny how fast they grow up.  He went from wearing jeans and novelty tees to wearing COLOGNE, skinny jeans and casual dress shirts just over summer vacation and a little birdie told me he has a girl's number in his cell phone.  Kids should come with a rewind button, so parents can take them back. He is my one and only son, so he might as well be the baby.

10 Things He Doesn't Want You To Know from askmen.com

From a man's point of view and a woman's point of view. What men don't want you to know and what she thinks about it.

Keep You Conquests Under Wraps
Safe sex is important. However, you don't want to tell her exactly how many women you have slept with. She may ask you, but she really doesn't want to know. She may not appreciate your conquests and you may be spending the night alone.

Your Income
Keep the size of your wallet in your pocket until you get a little further down the line. If you have the money, you can spoil her with the things she wants. If you have debt and are broke, she will most likely dump you anyway. (This one I agree with. Men just as much as women will latch on to a successful woman for financial security. So ladies, keep that monetary value under wraps too).

The Location Of Your Porn Stash
Most women like porn just as much as you do. But, they will never admit to it. They may feel like they are competing with a porn star in the bedroom. (Now, this one I don't agree with. She may actually enjoy watching it with you and the two of you can have some great foreplay and sex watching porn together).

Your Weaknesses
If she finds out, you cry during Bambi she may dump you. Woman say they want a sensitive man, but not one who cries during commercials or movies. Crying at funerals or over her is okay.

Your Strip Club Experiences
Do you like to go watch the ladies dance for an evening of erotic fun? Don't tell your lady she will twist it to her advantage and ask a lot of questions. (I don't agree being a woman).


Your Weird Fantasies
If your fantasies involve something that may be a little scary and dark to her or someone else. Keep those to the imagination. She may give you the boot as soon as she finds out.

Your Masturbation Habits
Keep the frequency of your masturbation habits to yourself. She may think she's not satisfying you sexually or think your a pervert.

Your Ex Memorabilia
She is really going to get pissed at you if she finds out your hanging onto the nude pics of your ex or all the old memorabilia of the ex-girlfriends. (I'd have to say I definitely agree with this one. If there an ex, the memorabilia need to go with the ex. Why do you want to hang onto something that isn't there?)

Your Embarrassing Moments
We have all had our embarrassing moments. I'm talking about the really embarrassing moments, the one's you don't want ANYONE to know. Revealing your most embarrassing moments is a visualization she may not want to know. It'll ruin your slickness right off the bat.

Your Cheating Past
Never reveal your cheating past if your trying to mend your ways and start new. She will never trust you. (Hmmm... I think a person has a right to know what their getting into. Don't you? People can change. But, if your a habitual cheater, she has a right to know).

Eat, Eat, Eat................

Do you what I noticed about working in the office environment? People eat so much take out.  If your not careful you could gain 20 pounds in no time. Someone is always bringing in snacks or they have their little stash in the drawer and everyday it's fast food. Someone always says "I'm hungry, let's eat." I made the rule for myself this time, I will only get take out if it is salad or something non-fattening. I am seriously trying to lose weight and fast food everyday will do the opposite. The food they order are meals. You got your chicken, fries, salad, coleslaw and Pepsi or pizza, bread sticks and salad. Except for the occasional time where I am just about starving and want that greasy fattening food.  I really don't want my ass to spread as wide as my chair and have clogged arteries. Then there's the women who eat that food everyday and don't seem to gain a pound. How do they do it? I want their metabolism, I want to be able to eat anything I want and not gain weight. I laugh because those are the ones who are always hungry. I go home everyday on my lunch break to get a few things done and to avoid falling into the trap of eating take out everyday. As soon as the kids are back in school, I'll be off to the gym everyday working out while they are enjoying their take out.  I am truly lucky  though, I work with some really wonderful people who treat everyone in the office like family. God bless their hearts.

Personal Dilemma

I will never truly understand human beings.  One situation I came across today was someone who purposely with held information from someone that they needed, because they don't like them.  I was told to with hold information from someone today and was really uncomfortable being put in that situation. What do you do? Do you go behind your bosses back and give the information or do you just do as your told?  I just did as I was told but wasn't crazy about doing it. The professional world can be insane and cut throat sometimes. I don't think I would ever do something like that to someone even if I wasn't too fond of the person.  Now, with holding the information wasn't going to give her a step forward in the profession.  She simply with held the information because she didn't like her and wanted her to look like an ass by missing a important meeting. Not even thinking that if it gets out that she asked her for the information and she refused to give it to her, she will be the one looking like an ass in the end.  I really hope she doesn't put the blame on me, because if it comes to it, I may actually say, she told me to "Only send her the information for one meeting and not the other because she is a bitch."
