Today I woke up and was reminded that today is St. Patrick's Day.  Being someone who doesn't look good wearing green I got dressed and put on a green necklace given to me by my roommate.  I woke up Nicholas and thought I might try and explain today what today was.    I woke him up and said, "hey buddy, guess what, today we get to wear your favorite color." "Green?" he asked. "Wahoo" Then I asked him if he knew why we wore green today and he said no so I went on to...

I've never been fired before in my life. I never really imagined being fired but figured if it ever came to that that it would be for a work related reason. I was fired this week for the following reasons: 1. I am incapable of making healthy decisions for myself and my son 2. I have allowed myself to be poisened by medical terminology 3. I have been let down by all the male figures in my life and so I have resistence to men 4. I've been "down" the last few weeks and a few patients notice...

I am so upset right now! I don't even know where to start. ok.. I hired a girl from my church to watch my son (8 month old) over the summer when I"m at work. She has him at her parents houes from 4-8pm aand then she brings him home to my parents who put him to bed and keep him until I get home from work. I drop him off shortly before 4 and it is their responsibility to have him home between 8 and 8:30. She is 16 and will be getting her license soon but until she does her parents have agreed ...

So I called Linda this morning. At first she was very understanding about my concern for Nicholas. Them she asked "how are we going to get to know him then." To which I replied, they only live 20 minutes away, it's not that far, there's no reason why I can't bring him out there for a few hours each week and by the 3rd or 4th time he should feel comfortable being with them alone. Also that hearing from them every 2 months isn't going to work. I told her that I understood that they are bus...

So, if you don't know me already, I have a son. He's the most beautiful son in the world *ok I'm done bragging now*. The father is not involved by his own decision which is more than fine with me. However his parents have expressed an interest in being involved. Since he was born last October, they have seen him about 5/6 times. THEY LIVE 20 MINUTES AWAY! anyways that's a whole other issue. So Linda called me today ( I haven't heard from her in over 2 months) and asked her usual polite ...

Hi, this might seem like a dumb question, but, What is trolling? And what is the purpose? and how can someone troll on their own blog? Thanks Charissa

Today I was reading my weekly chapter in "Captivating" by John and Stasi Eldredge. This weeks chapter was about Alluring Beauty. About biblical seduction in relationship with your significant other/spouse and the differences between a Desolate woman, an Emasculating woman and an Alluring woman. So after I finished reading I was thinking about my pitfalls in relationships. I thought back to my childhood when I constantly struggled with weight and self-confidence. There are many incidences t...

I am performing a song by Karen Carpenter in a show I'm involved in. However, I need to know what types of clothing she wore. I'm not old enough to remember her seeing as she died the same year I was born. So, you Carpenter fans out there, if you could let me know what types of things she wore in concerts. I've searched the web, but the photos are very vague. Thanks Charissa

Ok. this article actually has 2 parts. Part One: I have a 6 month old who either has something wrong with his respitory system or really bad allergies. He has had this horrendous cough for over a month. We put him on antibiotics for 10 days and that didn't help at all. When I asked the dr. about allergies ( I have really bad allergies) he said that he was too young to develop them. SO WHY DOES HE STILL HAVE THIS AWFUL COUGH! He also is very congested, I had to clear his nose out twise in t...

Since we don't have actual television channels at home I just caught wind of the new movie they've made about the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. As I was thinking about how I felt about the whole thing, it dawned on m. Now PLEASE KEEP IN MIND I HAVE YET TO SEE THE MOVIE! What a fabulous way to support the terrorists that attacked our country than to make a movie out of it. I mean, if you think about it, we were so affected, and so angry. Yet here we are making a movie about it. It makes ...

I couldn't believe my eyes when i read the following article. Paris Hilton as a biopic for Mother Theresa? it just seems...... wrong. Mother Theresa who is an upstanding roll model for everyone including young woman today, played by one of the trashiest socialites today. It would be as much in poor taste as casting Brittany Spears or Christian Aguilera. Why couldn't he have chosen someone either who has yet to enter the entertainment scene and given them a big break, or cast someone who is...

This is in response to the blog posted that only Jews could go to heaven. It is my understanding that Jews believe that the only way to get into heaven is to rectify their sins by the sacrificing of pure animals as is the Old Testament ritual. If this is the case, how in the world are the jews of today planning on getting into heaven. There isn't any sacrificing of lambs going on these days. And if Jesus was a heretic and therefore he wasn't the ultimate sacrifice...doesn't that mean the...

so tonight I met brandon's familiy. THey were great. I felt right at home, they loved nicholas, and were very kind to me. The whole evening was a lot of fun. So then we packed up and he took me back to my car and we were sitting waiting for my car to warm up. But I've never felt like I didn't exsist so much as I did while I was sitting there. Sure he was holding my hand, but he just acted as if he didn't want me there, he was staring off in space and just totally not engaged. So I got in ...

So I just learned today that everythign I post automatically goes to a personal blog and the forums! I didn't know that... So of course now I feel stupid because not everything was supposed to go to the forums.. SIlly me So I apologize for not knowing how to do this.. but it's not like we get a guide at the begining that tells us all that

I"m a huge Joeuser fan! Ever since I started blogging here I"ve learned a lot from all of you. I always look forward to reading comments on my blogs and reading other's blogs. Usually the level of maturity is that that I would expect from a group of adults. However, as of late I have been sadly disappointed. I didn't read much of LittleWhip and I didn't read anything by her husband so I have no idea why he was banned. However I do trust the moderators enough to know that if they decide it'...
