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 year students who have managed to get this far congratulation, but you still have not cleared the stupid range just yet.  And those of you who have final made it to this last year of college, you are about to meet the most scariest teacher in your  college life that will make stupid you like you were when you were a freshmen.  (Geçmiş olsun!)

For all of you who decide to embark on getting that Master degree, I encourage you to become a member of a wine club because you will need to stay objective in your writing.  And for those of you who have moved on to getting that Ph. D, I recommend that you find a friend who currently gets a subscription of Vicodin from their doctor.  By the way, geçmiş olsun!

It is the start for yet another wonderful school year of high financial expenses.  Depending on what level your children are at and how many children you have in school.  Elementary school is not so bad with school supplies, Halloween candy and costumes, picture day, Christmas parties, Valentine candy, Easter party and birthday parties at school.  It is not that bad!

For you parents who have kids in high school, we have homecoming game and party, turn-a-bouts, class pictures, prom for our juniors and seniors, and graduation for our seniors.  That is not bad!

For your college student parents', for each that child is in college they will spend a third of your savings.  If you don't believe me here is what you should do: one, save all the receipts from the items that you brought them at the beginning of the year for their dorm living (don't forget to include the gas money you had to spend to them to the dorm); two, keep receipts of all expenses for the whole year including travel and extra spending money; and three, keep all moving out of the dorm expenses this would include gas money too.  then add it all up . . .you probably spend more than a third.  As a parent you have the right to tell your child to get a job to help pay for some of these expenses.

And for those of you who getting that Master or that Ph. D, you are shit out of luck! Your parents can NOT help you at this stage in your life. So man up or woman up and pay for those expenses out of your own pocket.  Yeah, it will hurt while you are getting that degree and it will hurt even more when you finish and got that job to help pay back that money. (Smiles)  This is why I am recommending that you join a wine club.  So it can hurt less, not much but a little less.

Today starts a new 8 week class for me and the start of my social media university classes. So while y'all are reading this, I have already called Asia and she and I are headed to Cooper Hawks to get our case of wine! (She got a 5th grader, an 8th grader, and a junior in high school) She more than a case.

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 ...

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...

A Criticizism Impact

Ladies ad gentleman I got email from some body in Austin, Texas who read my blog. (Excited my fan email!) I wish I could copy and paste his/she email but due to Internet Privacy Act, so I will not.  Therefore I will talk about that person in a different more uplifting way.  Basically this person said I was stupid, don't know what the hell I am talking about and that my man should have a tighter lease on me. Hhhhmmm! (I got a smile face!)  Now I know how many of you would answer this however I took the very high and mighty road on this one.  My Reply was simply this: Thank you for your words and had you word your email differently than I would have taken your words into consideration.  I am not saying you should kiss my butt because I do not think you can do a good of it; it was because it was not objective.  I will still thank you for your positiveness that came from your negative criticism.  And I look forward to hearing from you again. ...
