What does a SAHM do all day??

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 06:11:23 +0000

My day is crazy from the minute I wake up. First I have to get up at 5 am to take my husband to work. This also involves taking our three kids along for the ride too. After driving 30 minutes there and back, I then have to get my oldest ready for school. We leave at 7 to take him to school and then it’s breakfast time for my 2 youngest. After breakfast we have morning chores and then free time. They have to eat lunch and take a nap by 2 in order to be up by 3 to get my son from school. Then it’s homework time, pick up husband time, and then dinner. After that, it’s bath time, stories and bed.

A Wonderful Baseball Team

My favorite baseball team would have to be the Atlanta Braves. Ever since I was a little girl I can always remember my dad watching them on TV. I think that’s how they ended up being my favorite team also. Chipper Jones has always been my favorite player, I even have an autographed baseball by him. I remember my dad surprising me when I was little with tickets to one of their games in Atlanta. I was so excited. We made the eight hour drive to Atlanta and had great seats at Turner Field. I remember wearing my Chipper Jones jersey and feeling like the luckiest girl alive on the day my dad took me to see my favorite baseball team play in real life. Even to this day, now that I am older I still get together with day every so often for a beer and a good ol’ Atlanta Braves game.

A Gentleman – Man Superior to Women

Introduction: If only to attack so fair and favorite a Part of human Society, as you are, will seem a confident attempt; it will appear a muscle builder one, to lay at your Feet, for Approbation, the very Instrument of your Pain, still warm and reeking from the wound it has given you. Methinks I see some pretty Lady pouting with Indignation so amiable that a Man would, almost for the sake of beholding, purposely study to pique her. What says the charming, peevish Thing, is not striking at our honor in every tender part, an injury great enough, unless the Aggressor insult us with the very weapons which has just executed his cruel purpose? Must we not only feel the barbarous Edge of his ungenerous Satire but be taunted with a Dedication of it? And truly, I must own, if we are to judge of Things by their first Appearance, the angry Fair-ones transport is not quite unreasonable. But Still, Ladies, if you allow yourselves leisure to reflect, you will not only be far from considering me, with like Passions, as an insolent Enemy, but will look upon it as your common interest to acknowledge me a generous friend. Examine but the nature of the operation I have perform and the disease which made it necessary, and you will consider me in the true Character I am in which is not that of a merciless assassin whose end is destruction; but that of an honorable surgeon, who makes no Incision but to let in a Cure where it is wanting; as I have already hinted elsewhere.

Much more than your Average News Site

I am absolutely addicted to the BBC News Website (www.bbc.co.uk/news). Not only does this site provide breaking world news and comprehensive world new divided by area but it also takes the time to delve into other topics in depth. Often you will find fascinating in-depth reviews on the arts, health or even country profiles. I really enjoy the light-hearted news section, ‘Also in the news’, which covers some of the more humorous antics of people or animals around the globe. It really is hard to get away from the site once you click into it! Although being primarily a British site, the global content is unrivalled in any other news site. Often BBC offers much more comprehensive analysis of American and Middle Eastern politics than many sites based in the respective countries. The quality of journalism is excellent and I do find the reporting very balanced. A special section devoted to video coverage of events around the world gives excellent access to current affairs.

Dog Dress-up

I love to dress up my dog in dog clothes. He has a little green t-shirt that says “Save the Earth” which I dress him up in every time we go for a walk. Everyone always tells me how adorable he is in it and they like that we are so concerned about going green. I even have a pink hoody that I put on him from time to time, but I don’t think he likes that. I can’t resist though – he is just too cute in it! My dog wears a size small (he is a Chihuahua) and he actually loves to wear the xs small dog clothes. They don’t bother him at all. Depending on a dog’s personality, they may or may not like to wear dog clothes.

Tiny and Toya

My favorite TV. show is a relatively new show. The show goes by the name of Tiny and Toya. It is a show that I think inspires a lot of young female adults. It about two young ladies who both are going threw a lot, and have a lot of people in this world that tend not to like them just because there famous and are or were married to famous rappers. The show deals with a lot of family problems that a lot of us out here can relate to. One of the girl’s mothers is addicted to drugs, and the show makes us see how hard it really is growing up if you haven’t a parent that is addicted to drugs. The other young lady her dad has alzhiemers and it lets us to see what it would be like to live with a parent with this kind of disease. It’s just a show that has a lot to do with every day struggle!

My Boring Little City

The city that I grew up in is a very small and very boring little town. It’s a town where everybody knows most everybody and you can’t get away with anything without everybody finding out. When I was a teenager I remember my and my friends always complaining about how boring it was to live in Melbourne Florida. There are only the same very activities to do every weekend and they tend to get old very fast. There’s the movie theater, the bowling alley, and the beach. That was the only good thing about Melbourne. It was less than ten minutes away from the beach, and who can say that the beach is boring? That’s one place I would always go to ease my mind, or to just have fun with friends and go swimming or play volley ball. Even though it is boring this is still home and I love everything about this little town I call home.

Dog Collars – Functional and Maybe Cute!

admin — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 02:34:00 +0000

If you’re a pet owner, or a dog owner, more specifically, you probably know the importance of dog collars for your dog. They have multiple purposes, and they can also be a sort of fashion accessory if you wish. Some dog collars have a loop so that you can fasten a leash. You can attach your dog license to the dog collar, too. Some people have identification tags made up so that if their dog wanders off and someone finds it, they can be notified without the hassle of contacting the dog warden. Some dogs have bells attached to their collars too. These can serve as a sort of early warning system if your dog comes running up behind you! And some dog owners like to put a pretty collar on their dog just because it makes them look good, and when these dogs get paraded down the sidewalk, their jaunty walk would indicate they think so too.

Multi-tasking

I love that word – multi-tasking. One of my strengths and I am not shy about saying it, is that I excel in multi-tasking, either at home or at work. In fact many women will own up to the idea that the female gender is the better of the sexes in multi-tasking. It is the ability to do more than one task successfully at the same time or in progression, but nonetheless accomplished almost simultaneously. Take at home for example; the minute I arrived home from work, I go to the kitchen start dinner, while reviewing my son’s homework with and talking to him how his day in school went. While dinner is cooking I check the fridge to start planning for next day’s dinner and what son’s lunch for school next day. At work, doing three projects at the same time, albeit finishing in succession is not a problem. The secret, not quite a secret, is simply, planning and organizing.

Best Place To Shop, Hands Down

admin — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 05:03:52 +0000

The best place to shop, hands down is the Internet. The internet is literally, the world’s greatest mall. You can buy anything and everything for whatever price you choose. If you want a mermaid costume for a toddler for under $20, if you look online long enough, you will find one. Even if you find it for more than you anticipated paying, hundreds of websites have promo codes where you can get discounts, free shipping or even free gifts with purchase! I only shop online because I don’t have to worry about roaming all over town or the mall and not find what I am looking for. I don’t have to settle with Internet, there is always someone willing to make you a deal. In addition, there are local sellers who will meet up with you to haggle or even auction sites to find yourself a good bargain. Shopping online, in my humble opinion, is the best way to go.
