My World

My children are my world. They pick me up when I’m feeling down. They make me laugh when I am crying. They encourage me forward when I feel like quitting. If it weren’t for my children I don’t know where I would be. Of course, my life could be really great – an excellent job, own my house, have a brand-new car and travel around the world. But, I have children and I don’t have all these things. It doesn’t matter. I have the world anyway.

Giving My Cats Away

I feel terrible about having to give my cats to the Humane Society. They were like my children. When I had to move I had no place to go myself and ended up in a homeless shelter. None of my friends or family would take my cats for a short period of time. I have, however, taken in their animals and even ended up keeping a few because my family didn’t want them back. I resolved not to get another cat until I am sure I will be in a place where I will be settled in for a long time.

Carlos Mencia

Carlos Mencia was recently in Madison and I was really bumbed that I was not able to go and see him. I think he is hilarious! My oldest son made me watch an episode with him one night. I fell in love with him instantly. When I watch him on Comedy Central I laugh so hard my sides hurt. I can’t remember any other comedian making me laugh like that.

Vampires

Vampires. What is the attraction to them? They are dark, mysterious, sensual and sexual. It’s the way the vampires stalk their prey. They way they lure and entice them. The way they embrace their victims. The way they excite their victims and get the blood flowing. For most of us it’s not the drinking of blood itself. Just the way the vampire makes the victim feel. Wanted. Then again, not all vampires are romantics.

Broken Furniture

My 17-year-old son and his best friend are the biggest pains in my butt ever. Over the past 5 years they have broken 2 sofas by wrestling around. One time my son was trying to avoid a plate of spaghetti. They broke 1window playing smear the queer. Another one by punching it when his younger brother and sister were looking through making faces at him and yet another one when throwing a shoe. They put a whole in a door when my son threw a baseball bat at his friend for fun. They ran a bike into another wall making a huge hole. And when they were “cleaning” my son “accidentally fell into the wall making a 2 foot round hole. A recliner and kitchen chairs were also destroyed. All because of wrestling around and playing games. They don’t do this at his friend’s house however. I must be way too lenient.

Motley Crue Saves The Day

When I was about 15 years old, I was at home with my best friend and one of my younger sisters just watching TV. A couple of Jehovah witnesses came to the door and unfortunately we answered it. They would not leave so my sister ran upstairs and put a tape in the stereo (dating myself). The tape she put in was “Motley Crue – Shout at the Devil”. She put the stereo in the front window and craned it. The Jehovah Witnesses quickly took off. We never had another Jehovah Witness show up for as long as we lived there.
