Asian Cuisine Nights

YES.. me and my husband made that!! Tonight was sort of rough, but we got through it. I have been wanting to try to make egg rolls for some time now. Just never was in the mood, or really never knew how to do it. My friend made some egg rolls and told me that it wasnt so hard. So finally after 2months of saying that I was gonna try it. I just did. Well my husband helped. For dinner we had sweet and sour pork, fried rice and egg rolls. It really was pretty easy. We did burn the first 2, because the fire was too high. We had to open the doors and cut fans on. The kids were complaining about there eyes burning. Sorry..lol. But the end result was great. The food was delicious in my opinion, and by the way everybody else cleaned they plate, Im guessing it was good to them too. For some reason, my husband never like asian food. So I was suprised that he offered to help cook. I must say our team work together produce a mighty meal. Also, it was good time for us to spend together, and it fun. We must try this again.

Jeremiah will be 2 in less than 48hrs.

Jeremiah Jamahl Thomas aka "J-MI" will be 2 years old on Sunday, December 6. I can not believe how much he has grown in such a short period. As most babies he has made tremendous progress since coming into this world. His little brain is so advanced, its so crazy. Im amazed that he can count to 5, he recognizes some letters. Like "J, T and B"! He has also developed his own little character. He lets it be known when he is not happy! I still love him though, even through his little temper tantrums. He sings songs when he is a happy. He and I were in the car listening to the radio and Twista song came on.. and I heard Jeremiah sing "come and make it rain down on me." I wish I had a video camera at the time. It was too funny. Happy 2nd Birthday Jeremiah!!

What Im thankful for...

My life... overall, I have had a great life. All the life lessons I've been through, whether I passed or failed the test... I'm still here, live and well.

My God.. who gave me life. I love him with all my heart, and even though I don't listen and do my own things sometimes, he still has my back. He picks me up when I fall, and blesses me continuously. I just want to let him know that I'm truly truly thankful, to have him in my heart.

My husband... who I love ever so dearly. We have our ups and downs, but deep down inside I have a love for him so strong, that no one could ever take. Thank you for being the man u are, my beautiful, strong man!!

My kids...I am so blessed to have such wonderful, loving, talented kids, who love me dearly. They are the reason that I keep pushing for a better tomorrow. I only want the best for them and for them to best they can be.

My mom... Words cannot explain how blessed I am to have a wonderful, supportive, caring and loving mother. Although I didn't listen some times, she still had my back and offer kinds supportive words, when I messed up. Thank you mom, for being there and instilling God's word in me, so that I can stand on my own and being the strong woman I am today.

My family.... thank you for the phone calls, text message, and good food that we are about to eat!!LOL

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Enough is Enough

Okay, I walked by the big window at the movie theater, and decided enough is enough. Funny how every time I pass something with my reflection, I must check out my self. LOL. Any way. How big am I trying to get. I have let myself slip into this comma of laziness. My new True Religion Jeans must fit!!!! I need to do more exercises then walking from car to my desk at work. I do however, take to stairs and not the elevator. But I guess that is not enough. Time to get focused. A new year is approaching.. I must fit in.. (the healthy club). in "O-10"! LOL

Advice

How come when you try to help someone or give them advice, they think that you are steering them wrong? I say this because I'm am guilty of this too. I have had people offer me advice, and they have good reasoning behind it. I still choose my own way. I believe that God uses people to give advice to you, because you may cant see danger that's head your way on your own. Its true that we are all grown and choose to do things our own way. I also know that we have to make our own mistakes, which is how we learn. But sometimes we do need to listen to the words that people say, especially if there is some sense to what they are saying, to spare us some of the unnecessary worries and pain. For example, when I was younger I was hooked on this boy, who was really not good for me. But I didn't seem to think so. Not even the jaws of life could tear me away from loving him. I didn't care what no one said, thought or did, because I knew he was the one for me. My mom, dad and friends steady offering advice and their thoughts to me about this dude, but I couldn't see it. I just had to have this dude no matter what anyone said. Until one day, I seen him with another female, and that tore me to pieces. I was an emotional mess. I didn't want to face my mom, dad or friends, because all along they were right. But I guess I was blinded by his charm, and good looks, and could not see the big picture, that he was not good for me. If I only had of listened to my mom, dad, and friends. I would have seen that God was working through them to offer me advice to save me from heartache and pain. But now I know!! I now take in consideration, advice that is given to me. I didn't look at advice as someone trying to hinder me or stop me from being the best I can be. I now realize that God works through others to get to me. I guess sometimes we have to go through the pain, to become stronger and be able to realize that some words of advice can help you along the way. Its your choice to listen or not!

Gymnastics Meet

Hi, I know Im a week late but, here are some pics from the gymnastics championship meet last weekend. Brianna, my daughter, competed against over a hundred girls in the South State championship and she placed 11th place. She did not make it to the next Texas state meet, but she is an alternate. She has only been doing gymnastics for little over 2 years. She just learned the skills to compete in this meet at end of August. So she has really come a long way. Im very proud of her and I know in my heart that she is going to go far. Remember I told you this, but you will see my daugther in the Olympics one day!! YEAH go Brianna!!!! Below is a video of her floor routine.

How many kids is too many?

Should the state be allowed to put a limit on how many children a single mother can have? Should her means of income be a major factor in determining this? Should judges be able to order ubes tied for unwed mothers with more than 3 kids? Or females should be able to birth as many kids as they want, regardless to their economic status?

.................

I believe that there should be a limit. I believe that if a person is on government assistance, should not be allowed to continue having babies and not be able to support them. I do believe that situations can change. But who's to say that it will or won't? In the mean time, a mother is having to take care of several babies with no income, because with the prices of daycare today, who can afford it with multiple babies? But I guess they are getting income, because section 8, foodstamp, welfare checks are considered income.Im not saying nothing is wrong with goverment assistance. But some people use it as away to come up , and not for its intended use, which is to help you get on your feet.(thats another topic) But still, if they were working, she would be working to pay daycare. I have one in daycare and its killing me and Im married. As for a divorcee, I dont think that she should bring another child into the world if she is not remarried, regardless of how many children she has. Thats just my opinion.

I can understand the biblical standpoint, cuz children are blessing, but would'nt it be selfish to bring a child into this world knowing you cant care for them?

My twenties are now a distant memory

I haven't been able to write lately because Ive been super busy being a super mom. LOL. But my birthday came and gone last week. I am no longer in my 20s and I have the big 30s world. LOL. I'm really not tripping. My friend asked me how I feel, and I said grown and sexy, as I do. But the truth is... I been feeling this way. I been grown and I do look good for my age. So hey, I don't care age is just another number in my book. I could go on and on about the good, the bad, and the ugly of my 20hood. But who cares, its all in the past. Time to move forward, and I'm glad that I have matured in the woman I am. I know I could still make a few changes, and I plan to learn from my mistakes of my 20hood and grow strong in my 30hood.. LOL don't know where I got the hood part from, just making up stuff.. I'm going to bed now.. ttyl.

Raising a female child is not easy.

God said he would never put more on me than I can bear. Lord this is a heavy one. I never would think that raising a daughter would be as hard as it is. I mean I was a little girl and I don't remember giving my mom this much grief. My daughter is not bad or mischievous. She is just real secretive, and drama filled and extra sensitive. There could be a lot factors as to why she acts the way she does. But whatever the case may be, I have to deal with it. I pray for strength to help me understand her, and guide her in the right direction. An old saying is that your child will be 10 times worse than you were.. well I guess I'm getting my payback now. Lord give me the strength not to give up. TTYL folks.

Long weekend

Long weekend, but not long enough. Can't say it was too exciting either. Its started early afternoon Friday, when I left work early, because of my runny nose and bad cough. Came home to get rest for about an hour, then the kids came home. Then my husband wanted me to go with him to barbershop. Why did I have to go... it was really really boring, and I didn't feel good. Guess he didn't want to take the boys alone. By the time we got home, it was time for bed. Then woke up at 7am, to get Brianna to gymnastics before 9 so I can have time to make it to my son flag football game. It was super cold and they lost. I felt bad for them, but I was ready to go. Then left after the game to get Brianna from gymnastics. I would let her miss practice, but she is getting ready for he state finalist competition, which is in 2 weeks. But anyway, while we wait for her to get out of practice, we go to party city to get kids costume. They are so unorganized, the line was out the door, but at least it was moving fast. Finally got costume for the boys, but couldn't find a good costume for Brianna, since she was adamant about being a witch, but the only ones party city had left were $30. So finally Brianna is out of practice, we go pick her up and strait to super walmart to grocery shop and find Brianna a costume. While on the way there, my husband gets a call, and now out of the blue he wants to ride to Bryan. Damn, I sure didnt feel like going. But I end up going anyway. We got groceries and went back to house. After a small setback, we were on the way to Bryan. ... I just really don't like the town much. For several reasons, but its all good though. I just took one for the team. Took kids trick or treating. Seem like halloween is suffering from the recession, because they were only giving out 1 piece of candy. What happen to the handful. But I did have a good time at club that night. I was able to get gone off that patron, so I was strait...LOL Wake Sunday morn.. drive back to San Antonio, and that is my long, OK weekend. My Birthday is Thursday, so I'm looking forward to that. Sorry for the grammar.. Im sleep. TTYL

We are grown and this is not high school.

Okay, what happened today at work suprised the hell out of me. This guy hit me on our company's IM to ask me a personal question. He asked me how well do I know this other female. Im like she cool, why? ... he say my friend like her and but he afraid to talk to her. Im like ..is this high school? What grown man ask another grown man at work to talk to the friend of the person they like to get her phone number. Like ima go relay that message to her. Hey girl, so and so think u cute, but he scared to talk to u.. This stuff is not supposed to carryon at work. Least I dont think so. LOL

I can show you, better than I can tell you

Tonight, my kids have tried patience on one the highest levels. Wont go into details on what they did. I guess was feeling rather giving earlier. I paid lunch money up for the rest of the month, with room for them to get ice cream and other goodies they offer at the school besides hot lunch. I went to Nordstroms Rack, which is my new favorite store, and bought them all a pair of shoes. I gave them their shoes and all was well. Something about their smile and their reactions that makes me feel good when I give them things when they are not expecting it. Then I walked up stairs to their rooms...and BOOM!!! Guess what?? I gladly returned there shoes.. and got my money back. Not like they really needed the shoes, cuz they have plenty. I just felt like being nice.. I like new things and I know they do too.. But I DON'T reward disobedience. If I ask you to have your room cleans before you play.. hey that's what I expect. Maybe I'm too hard on them. But hey, they gotta learn priorities some how. Work, then play. Well, when I came back home rooms were in decent order. I guess they thought I was bullshitting......

TMI

Today, I attended an cancer awareness meeting at work today. Mind you I'm at work. This older 50+ year old guy gets up and tell his journey with cancer and how he was a survivor. Good for him. But along with his testimony, he felt the need to tell a group of diverse co workers that he had to bend over a table to get his colon checked. Talk about TMI.. but that's not the worst. He also said that they had to seal his nut sack stream..(not in those exact words) but he called them lymph nodes. I'm not sure if that's what it called, but I will be sure to google it. He also mention how it affects his sex drive. Then he concluded with he is now happy to say that his sex can function properly. WOW!! TMI... for real!!
