This is the very first christmas that I will spend without my parents. I can honestly say that I have had 36 very good ones with them. They are visiting baby sis in Philly. It feels strange though, knowing that I will not see them tomorrow. Thankfully my brother and his family are here and I have good friends to full my day But... I guess the little girl in me wants to be with my mommy and daddy on Christmas day.

If I had three wishes what would they be? The main ones come to mind Love, Health, and Money the old standards. Everyone has seen a movie or knows a story where the wishes a person really wants never comes to pass. There is always some sort of trickery going on...Does anyone ever get all three?You'll find that they are healthy as a horse, paid in full but , by themselves. Or they are in love, paid and sickly. Or they're healthly and in love... but couldn't afford a date to Mickey D's with a coupon. Or just for a special bonus you find those with none of the above. If someone claims to have all three what compromises have they made in their lives to acheive them? The man is the mirror is a harsh reality, to some. The saying "Be careful, what you wish for, you just may get it"is a warning people. With that in mind, I will forget about the wish list and opt for prayer. Never any loop holes there. Merry Christmas everyone. Blessings

Well here I am again... I have to be optimistic that my parenting skills are working for the best. My patience is really being tried. I pray that I become more patient as this goes.Because I'm feeling Madear-ish. My nephew is indeed a challenge but what in life worthwhile isn't? My sister is doing well and my family here is fine. Blessings every where I turn...
