Ohhhhhh! I GET IT. Hmm. Never mind. Carry on.

All the anguish and hemming and hawing on here is apparently...for naught. I picked up a little book about karma the other day. You map out your astrological chart and it tells you what your issues will be, your strengths your weaknesses. Well....apparently my karma to deal with in this life is CRAPPY FAMILY. (But a great love life, which I have, and awesome children. Which I also have)
So for whatever reason..the bitches in my life are scheming, lying, STEALING whores for a reason. Apparently I CHOSE THEM. Oh. Okay then. Carry on. (But the stealing? Well.. let's just say they will spend a few lives begging on the streets of Calcutta! Enjoy that!)
The other interesting, fascinating and HARD TO BELIEVE aspect of the chart was that I discovered that my husband and I have THE EXACT SAME CHART except for our sun signs. Our karma, our goals, our weaknesses..all the same. The difference would be how we deal with those things. (Our sun signs). Explains why we read each others minds, finish each others sentences, have the same taste in food, clothes, decor, EVERYTHING, but have completely different temperaments.
According to our karma chart, we would burn through most of it in our youth leaving us to get on with the business of living. I look back on my childhood and my 20's and I say..WHEW. Glad I survived THAT. So I can see it.
Excellent.
I feel MUCH better now.

I cannot believe I'm about to say this

I just read this little quote from an article by the Associated Press (See full article here

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York congressman who is considering a Senate run posted a YouTube video calling Michael Jackson a "pervert" and questioning the exhaustive media coverage of the pop star's death.

Rep. Peter King, a Long Island Republican, said in the video posted Sunday that society is glorifying a "low-life" while hardworking teachers, police officers, firefighters and veterans don't get the credit they deserve.

"This guy was a pervert," King said in the video, shot Sunday by a staff member outside an American Legion hall. "He was a child molester. He was a pedophile. And to be giving this much coverage to him, day in and day out, what does it say about us as a country?"


Uh...I think I'm going to have to agree with the Republican.

Whew. There. I said it.

What is THAT?

Why are parents not "parenting" their children anymore? What is the matter with my generation as parents? A bigger bunch of lazy losers I have never seen. They either use the television or the Wii to run their households.
I have had to cut ties with two families that had little boys my daughter played with and I'm about to cut off a third. The first one LITERALLY tried to KILL my daughter and he got a five minute time out for his trouble. I kid you not. My husband threw them out of our house. This is a man that takes A LOOOOONG time to get to a boiling point. He is the most laid back person you will ever meet. Another neighbor has a kid who has to come in the house and make up crap to tattle . Makes me want to scream. I thought I was crazy for being so annoyed with him but then he started public school. The teacher sends him to the principle daily and he has been recommended to a child psychiatrist for "emotional problems".
THEN I have my neighbor in my cul de sac. She does day care and runs a tight ship. Until her own kid misbehaves. She SPANKS other peoples children all day long for the smallest infraction. HER son reared his fist back to punch my five year old in the face because she asked him to stop screaming at her and he get's...YOU GUESSED IT...TIME FREAKING OUT!
Unbelievable.
We don't believe in video games, or television. She watches MAYBE an hour a week. We have board games on Thursday with our dinner. That is the closest she comes to entertainment with food. On Saturday evenings she is allowed to watch a kid movie. That's it. We do not have a vast collection of childrens' DVD's. There is no Wii, no Nintendo, no Xbox (Well...there was an xbox when she was a baby but that hit the garage floor. THAT blog is archived). She can also read on a 2nd grade level and has an adult's vocabulary and a 3rd graders grasp at math. Amazing what they can learn when you turn off all the "technology".
We see dad's who are so fixated on their hobbies that their own children come fourth or fifth to selfish dreams. We see 300 lb mothers who think that processed food is the way to give your children the nutrition they need.
Our neighborhoood is on a vast system of trails, canyons, parks, and mountains that are blocks away from anyone's front door. Our schools only serve fresh food, and vending is unheard of. Our library was just voted the best in the country. There is no excuse for these chunky, misbehaved, unengaged children.
It doesn't matter how compassionate, or smart, or mannered my own daughter is...if in the end she is surrounded by fat sociopaths!
