Off the Grid!

Hello Everyone,

I am so sorry that I have been off the grid this week however I had to prioritizes my work.  Some of you know exactly what I mean.  There are simply times where we become bombarded with work and things of life that causes us to disappear for a little while or just until things get settle for us. 

For me it is always school work in the last two weeks of each semester.  See, I attend an accelerate program for my Masters at Keller University, and each semester is only 8 weeks long.  Midterms are always on the four week and finals, you guess it, are during the 8 weeks.  Depending on the topic I may have to go straight to Trader Joe's and get a few bottle of wine so that I can still objective.  Yes I need help with that! (Sidebar:  for those of us who are in IT, when it comes to writing those proposals you know you need a drink! Stop playing! I am writing them in school, I can image what you are writing in the real world!)  Now I need a drink! (Water has been excused!)  Let me describe the feeling that goes thru me after reading 30 pages straight out of 88 or more - numbness in the body and brain dead. 

For some of us focusing on what needs our utmost attention is time consuming in the thought process itself.   Focusing for other take lot of them where they need a nap.  I can say that has happen to me on many occasions where I simply do not want to think about nothing just for a few sec.  (Sidebar: how of you do this?  You sitting at desk or in a meeting and you close your eyes for just a sec and drift off into lala land.  You know that you drift because you caught your bobbin like yo-yo!)   The usual position that we are all familiar with is sitting at the desk with elbows on the desk and our hands crossing, and we lend our head up against our hands, and we close our eyes for just a few minutes.  The next thing you know someone is calling your name.  It's the boss!

Keeping to ourselves with just a few select friends is always good because you don't want everybody knowing what is going on with you until you have completed what it is you need to do.  The less people who knows what is going on the better because you don't have to hear some of the comments that people would that would cause you to worry.  Don't need the drama!! 

With that said, I am back to my humorous self with all these thoughts just flowing around in my mind to share with all of you!  Especially my family members down in Texas because Q can't be the only funny one . . . . . okay, yes he can! (Q you can stop twisting my arm now!)

Breaking the Cycle!

As a parent we always want the best for our child(ren)., and we start with educating them on things that we think that would be best for them to know as they grow up.  I was still a teenager when I became pregnant with my only child, Nicolas.  Did I wanted a child at that time?  No I didn't and it was my mother who said to keep him and that she would help me raise him.  My mother was also a teenage parent starting with me and a year later came my one of two brothers.  Now you are probably thinking that my mother why didn't she teach me not to become a teenage parent?   I am assuming that and I was right, that she did not know how.  She wanted to do my best with my life but she did not know to explain to me how to go about living life.  Growing up with 3 younger siblings I saw the struggles that my mother went through, and in my head I knew that I was not willing to do some of things that she.  I knew in my head that if I was ...

Coming this Month in September!

Lord have mercy, we are in another month for the year 2015.  If some of y'all like me and you saying this year is flying by . . .for some of us this a good while for others it may not. For a lot of parents this is a good thing because it is the start of another school for their children who are going back to school or have already started school.  Who is doing the dance of joy on this one?  If you don't have little ones still at home, this means peace and quiet for you at home until 3 p.m. For other parents it means fewer less children. ( Geçmiş olsun!)  But it also brings all the after school programs, those parent-teacher conferences that many parents dread, and those Fridays' night games. For all you new college students, for the first month you will be stupid to things but after that you will be okay.  For all you second year students who did not learn anything in your first year, then consider yourself still stupid!  For you third ye...

The Istanbul Chronicles: Moving Stuff

Here is another one of Glenna and I adventures. When Glenna and I were getting to know each other, I knew that she lived in an area call Maltepe. To be actual she lived on Methap Sok., Mercan #7  Apt. 4, Adatepe.   It was quite some ways from me being 45 minutes by a mini-bus (I live those things).  I had often visited her at her at her apartment as she had often visited our apartment, especially for coffee. In Glenna's apartment, she had a lot of nice big real wood furniture that I would have loved to own and I am still mad to this day that we were not able to remove majority them away from Edward. While she was there in their apartment, Glenna by herself was trying to move those pieces around because of how big furniture was they were not moving for her. (Glenna is a tiny woman, I tell you.) She said she had been asking Edward to get some help in moving some of the furniture down stair into the storage assigned storage unit.  But talking to Edward was like ta...
