Hey...

Do you know I'm apparently acting like an "officer's wife"?? Now, would someone like to exactly tell me how one acts....Is it because I asked a guy to see if my hubs was in a building on base because it was a warehouse and I didn't know if I was allowed in...I'm sure they would've much rather me just sashayed in and asked the first person I saw...jeez louise...And did I mention I waited outside for 10 minutes BEFORE I asked the first person I saw by saying "Excuse me Sir, can you please see if Lt. Moore is in that building??"

Yep, I agree that was rude, crude, and socially unacceptable..what can I say?? I should probably be hung up and SHOT!!!!!!!

I'm really thinking of renaming this blog to the pissed off mommy blog.

Anyone want to send me PROZAC, VALIUM, something???

Power Puff Girls

Are really really dirty...If you ever see Steve the Monster check out his mouth..it looks DIRTY...LOL

You know..Dora The Explorer is kinda dirty too..

What kind of cartoons are they making for our kids???

Good Morning

or Afternoon, Whatever...

today's website...www.idontgiveashit.com please go there to complain, bitch, or whine at me. This weekend was a LONG one..Friday was babysitting day--not even my kids--grown women..We went to a comedy show here on base and they got drunk and wanted to go to the E club on base and PARTY--read hit on men-- so I gave them 30 minutes and made the hubs come and rescue them..

Saturday--went to the bazaar..big shopping..at Ramstein..big base..didn't spend too much..big proud..got home LATE..

Sunday--went to the LONGEST baby shower known to man. Seriously, it lasted over 4 1/2 hours. The baby shower was given for a lady who was Puerto Rican..and there were 4 people there who didn't speak any kind of Spanish (me included) so I felt very very out of place..but I couldn't leave because it would have been very Politically Uncorrect..sigh..what a life..

I got a head ache

a big one..and the kids are helping it...CALGON TAKE ME AWAY!!!

Day of HELL!!!

Oh MY lord it was the DAY OF HELL here...ok really just the morning of hell..I had a meeting and it was AWFUL...

**Backstory**

I'm on the Board of the OCSC and I do the Spangle..(newsletter)..mind you..It's a VOLUNTEER job, I've NEVER done one before and I spent over 12 hours figuring things out this month...noone else would take this job--believe me now I know why

**

So, we are sitting there at this meeting and it gets my turn for my board report and all HELL breaks loose they are making a public lynching party for me...they hate it, call it crap, want to know if I got quotes, etc...where were these people when noone else stepped up to do this??? Probably hiding...I was PISSED...Finally I snapped and told them all if they wanted it exactly like last years I'd happily do it "just the same damn way"...they shut up...next month..I'm bringing twizzlers and announcing if they are going to do another public lynching of me..please do it with these (candy ropes)..I like them better!!!!

I was so upset I was going to quit...but why let the snobby officer wive bitches win..So if they want to do all the work and get new quotes let them..they aren't going to find a better price than I have now...and I will never let them see me cry (I'll wait till I get home again)..at least I have another co-editor now who's nice and she will have my back this month--hopefully...LOL

--Either that or I'll go Postal on them all...

DEBATE

or **Ahhh if you're going to debate me on my own blog at least don't do it anonymously...**

Here's my original post: and her comment but I'll post her comment here and comment on it too..

It is a tenant of international law that when a government commits major human rights violations against a specific sect of its own population that government is responsible for her citizens repair -- or the synonym: REPARATIONS.

140 years ago? Was Jim Crow 140 years ago? Was Martin Luther King assassinated 140 years ago? Were black people attacked with POLICE DOGS and FIREMEN WATER HOSES 140 years ago? Was SEGREGATION, LYNCHING, BLACK CODES, KKK, ROSA PARKS AND THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT 140 years ago? When you "teach" your children, try the truth for once. You like many white Americans are protected by this blanket of denial in America and it is absolutely appalling.

No one is suggesting personal culpability. Slavery was an institution sanctioned by the highest laws of the land with a degree of support from the Constitution itself.

For two hundred years, the federal government embraced
made laws and embraced policies that supported racism after the Civil War and the passage of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments. Because of racist laws and policies after slavery, blacks were denied the chance to compete or the opportunities and resources that were available to native whites and
white immigrants. The promise of forty acres and a mule to former slaves were effectively nullified by the actions of Pres. Andrew Johnson.

For example, immediately after the war Congress restructured laws to constrain newly freed black men and women called Black Codes. Blacks were barred from towns after certain hours and were prevented from renting or leasing farms. Under Jim Crow, many "Black males were expected to tip their
hats in the presence of whites, even if they were walking on the
opposite side of the street." The Codes were implemented in the late nineteenth century and, unfortunately, lasted until the 1960s.

From Black Codes, Jim Crow, KKK to lynchings the United States government sanctioned and upheld these oppressive and exploitative systems to the detriment of its newly freed African slaves. The United States had officially committed itself to civil and political rights for blacks.

However, it failed to enforce those rights intended in the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments. African Americans were betrayed, and a brutal white supremacist regime was allowed to replace chattel slavery.

Thus the federal government is reasonably held accountable for the persisting legacy of those wrongs.


The institution of slavery established the idea and the practice that American democracy was "for whites only." The government is an entity that survives generations, its debts and obligation survive the lifespan of any particular individuals...There are many white Americans whose actions (or lack thereof) reveal such sentiments today--witness the response of the media and the general populace to the blatant disregard of African Americans in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Would such complacency exist if African Americans were considered "real citizens"?

What about the disenfranchisement of Black citizens in the 2000 election? And despite the dramatic successes of the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 60s, the majority of black Americans do not enjoy the same rights as white Americans in the economic sphere.

The injury in question--that of slavery--was inflicted upon a people designated as a race. The descendants of that people--still socially constructed as a race today--continue to suffer the institutional
legacies of slavery some one hundred thirty-five years after its demise.

Race cannot be separated from said injury because wrongs were inflicted on sole basis of one's skin color.

For example, the criminal (in)justice system today largely continues to operate as it did under slavery--for the
protection of white citizens against black "outsiders." Although no longer written law, this very attitude is implicit to processes of law enforcement,
prosecution, and incarceration, guiding the behavior of police, prosecutors, judges, juries, wardens, and parole boards. Hence, African Americans continue to experience higher rates of incarceration than do whites charged with similar crimes, endure longer sentences for the same classes of crimes perpetrated by whites, and, compared to white inmates, receive far less
consideration by parole boards when being considered for release.

The fact that immigrants arrived after slavery has no bearing on the call for restitution as anyone who seeks to benefit from the priviliges set forth in this nation must also accept her battles as is expected of any other American citizen.

Thus, anyone who immigrates to the United States American citizenship inherits America fight for freedom.
We don't ask new immigrants to re-fight the War of 1812, nor do we require them re-write to the Bill of Rights.
Yet they are beneficiaries of that history. New immigrants also inherit the bad with the good. They inherit all the responsibilities of every American citizen no matter how long they have been here, no matter where they came from or why, without regard to their race, creed, color, religion, gender, sexual preference or other distinction.

The arguments for reparations are not made on the basis of whether every white person directly gained from slavery. It's addressing crimes by government against a people.


Once the wrongs committed against African Americans are recognized as constituting a claim that creates a property right cognizable under our legal system what remedy is appropriate? Many argue that current generations have no responsibility, because none of us ever held slaves.

Again, the arguments are made on the basis that slavery was
institutionalized and protected by the law in the United States.

Yes, its true that many Americans have immigrated recently to the United States and many others are descendants of immigrants who arrived after the Civil War.

Human Rights Watch recently issued a report stating that the US should pay reparations not only for slavery, but for segregation, too. No mention is made in the Human Rights Report of the one hundred years of lynchings to which Black people in America were subjected.

Today the vestiges of racial discrimination, which began during the days of black race hatred and slavery, are still visible.

Black women and men are haunted by the reality that "Driving While Black" in many states makes you a prime target for police harassment. In the state of New Jersey, at least eight of every ten automobile searches carried out by state troopers on the New Jersey Turnpike over most of the last decade were conducted on vehicles driven by blacks and Hispanics. 80% of the stops, yet only 30% of the population. This is racial profiling at its worst. But New Jersey is not the only Driving While Black culprit.


The Justice Department admits that blacks are more likely than whites to be pulled over by police, imprisoned, and put to death. And, though blacks and whites have about the same rate of drug use, blacks are more likely to be arrested than whites and are more likely to receive longer prison sentences than whites.

The expiration of critical sections of the Voting Rights Act could very well usher in a return of state-sanctioned black disfranchisement on a scale worse than what was discovered in the 2000 November Presidential election.

As you can see, the US is far from having adequately addressed its race problem. In addition, I believe the United States is in long-standing violation of international treaties that it has signed and ratified.


The United States could and should also apologize for its participation in the slave trade and the long history of racism against black people that that participation fostered and supported. Governments make restitution to victims as a group or class. It is true that it would be inappropriate to pursue individual guilt at this point, but the collective responsibility of our government cannot be denied.

Zion apparently just found something I posted WAY back in July and felt the need to "educate" me on the suffering of blacks..I never said blacks DIDN'T suffer--now AGAIN what I believe...it has been 140 years....the United States should not apologize to the "black community" for their part in the slave trade...the ONLY way we as a nation are going to be able to move on and become one people with EACH OTHER is to stop fighting PAST wars!!!!! This didn't happen to YOU. As for your implication I don't "teach" my children right...Oh but I do..I teach my children to look BEYOND the color of a person..maybe you should TRY that...might work better in life for EVERYONE. My husband is in the UNITED STATES MILITARY and amazingly enough..they don't have problems with color/race relations..maybe because they have something else to think about/consider other than something that happened to them or their people --again 140 years ago--they think about..oh keeping everyone in AMERICA SAFE...not apologizing to one particular race for something that happened 140 years ago...

NOW onto the getting pulled over because your black and in New Jersey...seriously take that up with the New Jersey police department not the United States Government...

New Orleans...now when watching coverage of Hurricane Katrina...the mayor of New Orleans was Black right?? because he was making a hell of a lot of the decisions...so maybe we need to focus on him a little too..It wasn't a "white conspiracy" against the black people...I like probably half of America (oh wait that'a whole bunch of white people) sat and cried thinking of those people in New Orleans..but you know what I DO think if it was WHITE people the same would've happened...and the SAME OUTCRY...YOU DID watch the news as MOST OF AMERICA WAS pissed at the way it's CITIZENS were treated--notice I didn't use the word BLACK CITIZENS just CITIZENS that's because they didn't care who it was..they were AMERICANS...

PICK up your American flag and become and American and be happy you live here..if you don't like it or the way you are treated try another country BUT I DAMN WELL GUARANTEE YOU--you'll come back..it's only here you get the freedom speech to even question the government and ask for them to apologize to you...Like I said the ONLY way we are going to be a COUNTRY OF ONE to steal the Army's slogan...is to become ONE and that's to stop fighting as blacks and whites and fight as AMERICANS...

My Week in A Nutshell !!!

alternative title...***men are such flippin babies***

The creeping crud has been going around here..the kids got it, I got it, then the biggest baby of all got it--yup Steven...lord have mercy you would've thought the world ended...oh wait it did didn't it??? he was SICK...he had a runny nose and his sinuses were killing him...he was walking around like a lion with a thorn in it's paw--screaming at everyone who crossed his path, bitching at me every 3 seconds for DARING to ask for help with the kids...God Forbid...

Who is home with the kids all day while he's at work, even if I'm not feeling well?? OH him?? ok...

Who stayed with the kids all summer while he was in a hotel room...oh he was at school...oh yes that was hard..I'm sorry...you're right....

Usually now he's very good about helping out on the weekend with the kids, but when he doesn't feel well.....well really the beast from "Beauty and the Beast" doesn't seem so bad.

~~Connor...oh Lord the Terrible Two's are HERE I Cannot keep him out of ANYTHING. He climbs, sneaks, gets into every-flippin-thing and have I mentioned his dislike of anything resembling clothing??? That I wouldn't mind except he likes to open the door when someone rings the doorbell and usually he's pulling at well his favorite appendage...Really starts good conversations with my neighbors.

~~Lizzie...runs the house...seriously..I'm giving her the checkbook and letting her go...She will come up to me.."Mom..your laundry is done..you need to fold it"..."Mom..you need to pick up the floor".."Mom..I don't have any clothes"..

~~Katherine..Considering Boarding school...they do that in Europe..I'll send her now..and she can come back when she's 18..if I like her then..I'll keep her..if not..well she's 18. No, her mouth, attitude, etc...I don't know how long I can go on..I'm about to just ground her for the rest of the YEAR. Send her to her room as soon as she gets home from school and let her leave in the morning to go to school...

~~Me..Mary Poppins..Perfect as Always...

DONE

Well, I'm done with this months' issue of the newsletter...24 pages in all...It took 4-flippin-ever this weekend..and a few...nasty emails from people to get the things in that needed to be in..but it's done...that's off my mind (at least for another month LOL)...

What?? I didn't tell you what I'm talking about..dumb me..here's the story...My friend (the one who's having probs with her DH (and I don't mean dear here either) ) was picked, signed up, I'm not sure what one...whatever...to be the editor for the newsletter for the wives club here..I was going to be her co-editor...(ya know sit in the background eating popcorn, watching TV while she actually did the work..then just check it over for typos, etc..sounded great to me..)...and then her DH goes and does what he did, she had to drop out and I became editor (I honestly thought it was only going to be for a little while until he came to his senses, looks like he lost those--but that is another story) so now..I'm the editor and the first edition is going to be out for September. I gave everyone a due date of August 25 (Friday.)..hoping Thursday things would start trickling in..I started checking my email..nothing...Friday morning..nothing...Friday afternoon..a little..(read 2 or 3) trickle..but I had still started it...Friday evening and Saturday yep that's when they turned it in...It took hours of doing it..sending it to the president to be approved, she doing something, fixing it, sending it back, well I could keep going here..

But it's done, at the printer, done...--Until next month..

Here's the cake..

Let's see if Blogger will let me post a pic today???

Out of the Mouth of Babes

You just can't make this stuff up!!

Lizzie: Can I spend the night with ******?

Steven: No

Lizzie: I can just sneak out.

Steven: What did you say?

Lizzie: Something wrong.

I've been a BUSY LIL BEE

So my faithful...(ok y'all can stop the laughing NOW) friends...I've been as busy as all get out lately...Let me catch you up with just my last week

My friend..lets just call her **A**'s hubby decided he wanted a divorce way back around the beginning of July, well things Seem to be looking maybe up for her..he has at least agreed to counseling to "make sure he isn't making the wrong decision"...She has forgiven him for his "transgressions" but I haven't so maybe we (him and I) might need counseling also??? (Well short of me hanging him up by his gonads on the bases pride and joy)

Because **A** had to deal with her own life I took over some of her other responsibilites having to do with the OCSC (Officer Civilian Spouses Club) to some...to my enlisted friends (Old Witches Coven)...and I've been working on their website gi ahead and give it a click and feel free to give me glowing compliments...only glowing ones mind you..Thank you...I'm also going to be editing their newsletter...It's actually been quite fun...:D

I've been shopping :sigh: for Katherine's school items and well that's been lots fun let me tell you. She just get's mouthier and mouthier as the day's go by...Makes me just want to do as the Europeans do and send her to boarding school until she turns 18...Not a bad idea really...

Steven had a heartbeat and was breathing so he made First Lt. WE had to buy the cake and the sodas for his promotion party as ORDERED by his boss...OK not really ordered but strongly suggested..so I (well y'all know me) had them put on his cake on the edge Yay ME!!!

10 Pack....

Watching Annapolis today Katherine said the guy looked like he had a "10 pack" well that's one well built man....

Shoot I gotta go back and watch that movie again...I've heard of a 6-pack before but never a 10-pack....

Thursday Thirteen.

**Thank you Nello Design for the banner**

I haven't done one of these in a few weeks but I feel it's time to start again...(the hubz is back home and life is getting back to normal LOL) so this week's Thursday Thirteen is dedicated to an ASSWIPE WHO DEPLOYED TO THE AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY....Thirteen Reasons I think you are a WEAK COWARDLY LITTLE MAN...

**by the way this IS NOT my hubz..he is still a sweetie..this is my friends...

1. YOU took vows to her...did they not mean anything to you???

2. YOU sent her an EMAIL to ask for a divorce...you couldn't even give her the courtesy to tell her face to face.

3. YOU slept with another woman..which by the way is against the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) in the first place--and punishable with jail time!!

4. YOU are an officer in the military and you are supposed to conduct yourself as one, YET you did not..you conducted yourself as a 12 year old junior high school student.

5. YOU sat there and flip floped for days on her and gave her hope and then you smashed her.

6. SHE is one of the most amazing woman because she still, after all this, wants to give you a chance and worries about YOU

7. I thought YOU were better than this. I don't know this person who is doing this.

8. WHAT THE HELL do you mean you don't love her like a man should a wife and you've been acting to yourself and everyone else?? you can't act that good otherwise you should probably go to Hollywood and get a job Nicholas Cage.

9. WHAT kind of example do you think you are setting for your children...your daughter is 12 and your son is 10..and they know something is going on..are you going to teach them this is the way a MAN ACTS TOWARDS A WOMAN..is this the WAY YOU WANT A MAN TO TREAT YOUR DAUGHTER????

10. YOU left her here to deal with the kids..and explain this situation you created to them..they aren't stupid and they aren't young.

11. BACK to the affair...WHAT THE HELL were you thinking--seriously--I CANNOT CONDONE OR UNDERSTAND THIS...

12. SHE DIDN'T try to "force your hand" by asking you to choose "her friendship" or to "try to repair" your marriage..you need to step back and realize that by having a "friendship" with THAT WOMAN you were still emotionally involved with her.

13. GOD-DAMN YOU...YOU HURT ME TOO...BY HURTING HER...WHY??????

As always, please leave a comment and a linky here..it's rude to link and run...LOL..

BUTTER...somehow they got it into their little brains that it would be smart and fun to throw butter onto one another and all over my floor, couches, etc..(by the way..the neighbors kids were here too.)...before I go into it to much let me preface by saying the ages in the house were 12, 11, 10, 4, and 2...While giving a little lecture about acting 3 and throwing butter we get the hitting doors with brooms (10 yo), poking eyes (4 yo), hitting (10 yo) and just general discord around here...Lordy have mercy what went on with these kids...so I just shook my head and went and made a big ole drink...BIG OLE DRINK ...HUGE...

Foot in Mouth Disease..

Yep that's what I have people. Foot in Mouth Disease..I open mouth insert foot...constantly..nothing new here.

It started on a message board...Hubz is in the AF and someone asked about career fields and if one "partied harder" than the rest...well she piped in how they (her and her hubz) were well xxxx and they partied hard...I took offense to that as she isn't in the AF and she is CONSTANTLY throwing around the fact her hubz is an O...jeez louise..who cares...

Anywho..I bitched to a few of my friends..so the other night one of them gets drunk..anyone see where this is going...yep you're right..and tells said person what I said..her feelings are hurt..wahhh she said it..so did I ...

My response..you aren't in the AF..you didn't sign any damn papers, you don't wear a uniform, if your hubby does something wrong the commander doesn't call you on the carpet to explain him....and last time I checked..you didn't do his job so you can in no way call yourself a xxxxx...

Stupid women...so was I wrong???? Would you call yourself a computer genius if that's what your hubz did??? a Dr. if your hubz was one??? etc??? I didn't think so...

But still probably an open mouth insert foot moment...you know play nice...I have to deal with her for the next year as we sit on the same board for the OCSC (officer civilian spouses club)....clean off your keyboard and stop laughing Toni...seriously your going to hurt yourself...

Proud SISSY

I'm just as proud as a peacock here. My sister is now a published writer..well published as in she wrote a letter to the editor and it got published but hey..tomato...tomahhhto...you get it...

Shoot I couldn't be any happier if Steven brought me home a BIG OLE HONKING 12,000 BTU AC...Just Sayin...

Anywho..here is a link to the article and then her response...

An article from Charleston.net has been sent to you from Jen. The link to this article is: http://www.charleston.net/stories/default.aspx?newsID=98604&section=letters.

Not responsible

After reading the article about payback for slavery, I was incensed. I believe that slavery was wrong but do not see the good that would come from giving monetary retribution to descendents of slaves. We (the people of the United States), as a whole, cannot be held responsible for the actions of our ancestors.

My husband is a second generation American. Why should he and his family be held accountable for something that happened many years before his grandparents came over from Italy? And what about the people who had little or nothing and whose families didn't own slaves because they couldn't afford it? These people would be wronged if the United States started a retribution program for descendents of slaves. If a private corporation wants to do this, then fine, but do not hold those who are innocent accountable.

Jennifer


YOU GO GIRL...Now my five fans are calling me..

I'm Melting.

I'm MELTING...and NO not because I'm the Wicked Witch in Wizard of Oz and someone just doused me with water...(although about now..that sounds GREAT), but because I'm in Germany and it's 90 flippin 5 degree's outside. Now, if I had an Air Conditioner it would be wonderful, but does the Air Force feel us Pee ons in Germany need an Air Conditioner......

NO

It doesn't get hot enough apparently...that's why it's 90 flippin 5 degree's outside...we are sitting here in the house...Naked...well almost..the kids are running around in just undies, Connor is naked..(I know shocking LOL) and me well don't let the neighbors know but I'm in my bra and undies....

QUIT LAUGHING I DID PUT THE DAMN ROLLING BLINDS DOWN....sheesh I wouldn't want to scare the neighborhood boys off s.e.x for life now would I???

Now if you don't mind...me and my 5 fans need to have some one on one time because to be honest they have become more important to me than well Steven or BOB...(hey you clicked don't blame me for that one...)

AHHH It's the Life for me...

Connor has decided that he no longer--you know now he's 2 and all--needs to take a nap..

I'd be a little more umm insistent but the little shit BROKE his crib---yes I said BROKE...tore apart broke...I tried to fix it like the little redneck my daddy taught me to be (with duct tape) but he got that off too, so I had to put him in his pack and play until Steven gets home..(Sunday, but I'm not counting the day's)

So, anyways, since he's decided he's too old to take a nap and he also wants to party late into the evening I've had to come up with a way to make him TIRED OUT so he goes to SLEEP easier at night..hence the hours and hours of outside play we've been doing.

I have my set up (chair, footstool, TV tray, book, glass of water, both phones--German and Stateside) and they have the pool, slip and slide, etc etc etc...play play play...by the time we get in they are TIRED and ready for sleep...only problem is he wants to fall asleep when he eats which requires a quick out of the high chair--let him play some more until he is almost out on the floor then put him too bed...

Maybe I'll post pics tommorrow...ya know if the digital camera decides it's one of those day's it can work...

Porn Star

My neighbors boy told her today he knew what a Porn star was...she was afraid to ask but she did...

apparently a porn star is a person who are you ready.....

sings naked....

I'm a PORN STAR....

are you???

This just makes me ILL

Ok now bear with me..I'm SO NOT a political person. I don't play the politics game. I sit back and watch so my sister Jennifer calls tonight and tells me to go to my hometown paper and read an article

this is taken from the Charleston, South Carolina Post and Courier's website Charleston.net

Slavery: Paybacks coming?
Reparations activists gaining momentum

By ERIN TEXEIRA
Associated Press



Advocates who say black Americans should be compensated for slavery and its Jim Crow aftermath are quietly chalking up victories and gaining momentum.

Fueled by the work of scholars and lawyers, their campaign has morphed in recent years from a fringe-group rallying cry into a sophisticated, mainstream movement. Most recently, a pair of churches apologized for their part in the slave trade, and one is studying ways to repay black church members.

The overall issue is hardly settled, even among black Americans. Some say that focusing on slavery shouldn't be a top priority or that it doesn't make sense to compensate people generations after a historical wrong.

Yet reparations efforts have led a number of cities and states to approve measures that force businesses to publicize their historical ties to slavery. Several reparations court cases are in progress, and international human rights officials are increasingly spotlighting the issue.

"This matter is growing in significance rather than declining," said Charles Ogletree, a Harvard law professor and a leading reparations activist. "It has more vigor and vitality in the 21st century than it's had in the history of the reparations movement."

The most recent victories for reparations advocates came in June, when the Moravian Church and the Episcopal Church apologized for owning slaves, and promised to battle current racism.

The Episcopalians also launched a national, yearslong investigation into church slavery links and into whether the church should compensate black members. A white church member, Katrina Browne, also screened, at the denomination's national assembly, a documentary focusing on white culpability.

The Episcopalians debated slavery and reparations for years before reaching an agreement, said Jayne Oasin, social justice officer for the denomination, who will oversee its work on the issue.

Historically, slavery was an uncomfortable topic for the church. Some Episcopal bishops owned slaves, and the Bible was used to justify the practice, Oasin said.

"Why not (take these steps) 100 years ago?" she said. "Let's talk about the complicity of the Episcopal Church as one of the institutions of this country who, of course, benefited from slavery."

Also in June, a North Carolina commission urged the state government to repay the descendants of victims of a violent 1898 campaign by white supremacists to strip blacks of power in Wilmington, N.C. As many as 60 blacks died, and thousands were driven from the city.

The commission also recommended state-funded programs to support local black businesses and home ownership.

The report came weeks after the Organization of American States requested information from the U.S. government about a 1921 race riot in Tulsa, Okla., in which 1,200 homes were burned and as many as 300 blacks were killed. An OAS official said the group might pursue the issue as a violation of international human rights.

The modern reparations movement revived an idea that's been around since emancipation, when black leaders argued that newly freed slaves deserved compensation.

About six years ago the issue started gaining momentum again. Randall Robinson's "The Debt: What America Owes to Blacks," was a best seller; reparations became a central issue at the World Conference on Racism in Durban, South Africa; and California legislators passed the nation's first law forcing insurance companies that do business with the state to disclose their slavery ties. Illinois passed a similar insurance law in 2003, and the next year Iowa legislators began requesting, but not forcing, the same disclosures.

Several cities, including Chicago, Detroit and Oakland, Calif., have laws requiring that all businesses make such disclosures.

Reparations opponents insist that no living American should have to pay for a practice that ended more than 140 years ago. Plus, programs such as affirmative action and welfare already have compensated for past injustices, said John McWhorter, a senior fellow at the conservative Manhattan Institute.

"The reparations movement is based on a fallacy that cripples the thinking on race, the fallacy that what ails black America is a cash problem," said McWhorter, who is black. "Giving people money will not solve the problems that we have."

Even so, support is reaching beyond blacks and the South.

Katrina Browne, the white Episcopalian filmmaker, is finishing a documentary about her ancestors, the DeWolfs of Bristol, R.I., the biggest slave-trading family in U.S. history. She screened it for Episcopal Church officials at the June convention.

"Traces of the Trade: A Story From the Deep North" details how the economies of the Northeast and the nation as a whole depended on slaves.

"A lot of white people think they know everything there is to know about slavery. We all agree it was wrong and that's enough," Browne said. "But this was the foundation of our country, not some Southern anomaly. We all inherit responsibility."

She says neither whites nor blacks will heal from slavery until formal hearings expose the full history of slavery and its effects.

A look at slavery reparations efforts

Some key recent developments in the push for slavery reparations:

--Every year since 1989, Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., has pushed unsuccessfully for a federal law ordering a study of reparations.

--Disclosure laws have prompted companies including health provider Aetna Inc. and financiers Lehman Brothers and Wachovia Corp. to apologize for slavery ties. After JPMorgan Chase reported that two of its predecessor banks owned more than 1,200 Louisiana slaves taken as collateral in the 1800s, the bank established a $5 million scholarship fund for Louisiana blacks.

--Several lawsuits against 19 insurance, textile, railroad, financial services and tobacco companies with similar ties are making their way through federal courts.

--Advocates are calling for boycotts until such companies make reparations, said Kibibi Tyehimba, national co-chair of the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America, or N'COBRA.

--Academics are researching the issue and publicizing their work at conferences, including one in February at the University of California, Berkeley, and two in March at the Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Another is scheduled this month in Ghana.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok now here's my lil ole rant..and I'll just put on my flame suit afterword. First of all..Why in the HELL am I paying for something my so called ancestors did...(and I know my ancestors didn't even do it cuz we were the poor damn white southern people..hell we were probably with the slaves too).

Second, how did it exactly hurt the one's alive today that their ANCESTORS were slaves and they need reparations and "black only" housing and business loans. I could understand if we were giving reparation to people who were slaves but come on..people whose ancestors were slaves..give me a break. Why don't we just say that my ancestors were poor white immigrants so I need reparations because I feel they were discriminated against by the rich white immigrants.

Why are we apologizing to people that we haven't hurt?? Why don't I just go over to the neighbors and apologize because she got a paper cut from licking an envelope??

I just think Black, White, Green, Red, Yellow, or Purple we are all human and we need to get over this shit. It's stupid and idiotic. We need to move forward and become one with each other. How can we expect our children to not look at color, outside looks,etc and to see the beauty within each other when we can't even get over something that happened to our ANCESTORS over 140 years ago. I personally teach my children that everyone brings something to the table and no matter what they look like or act like that there is something about everyone that is unique and beautiful, sometimes we have look to look hard but it is there.

Proud Mommy

So the other day I went to clean a DVD disc for Lizzie to watch "quiet time" in my room and didn't have any alcohol in my house ( I had the kind you drink, loads of that actually, but I didn't have the kind I use to clean the DVD's)..anywho I had adult toy cleaner (For my family who reads this blog PUHLEASE people I know your dirty little secrets too so just close your durn mouths before the rest of the internet finds out.), which is basically alcohol and proceeded to wipe the DISNEY disc BAMBI down. I left it out on the bathroom counter.

Well, Katherine got up the next morning to do her hair and I guess found it sitting there and made SURE she left it sitting there with the "ADULT TOY CLEANER" sitting out on my counter towards me so I can see...

Any ideas when I can expect that one to come back and bite me in the butt???

OH and ED...I googled "Adult toy and Bambi" and nothing came up so sorry.

Happy Birthday Baby Boy!!!

CONNOR IS 2 TODAY!!!!!

he went from this..



to this



Now, my family and the other 2 of you who read this..it's time for the obligatory birth story..YAY...says the crowd...

Here goes:
well
I'm one of those massively lucky women who don't feel contractions until well the VERY END...(no booing me people..I'm sorry get over it..)so, I got to pick Connor's birthday. Steven was at OTS (officer training school for you civilians out there) so I picked it because that was when the cutest doctor was going to be delivering...(hey a girl has to have her priorities straight)Umm Honey Love You/Mean It. Anywho back to the story..they tell me to be at said hospital at 6 too flippin early in the morning for induction and to EAT before. I said ok...so me, my sister Jennifer and Katherine ate at Waffle House and showed up and waited a short while before we were shown upstairs..

I got upstairs and waited 3 hours or so until 9 until the doc got there..seriously if he got to sleep in..why couldn't I??? so not fair.. They came in..said we're going to start you on some potossin and break your water. I said be ready with a lunch tray. I don't think the nurses believed me. Little did they know. So I sat and watched TV with Jen and Trisha and Katherine for a while and got a little uncomfortable and started peeing ALOT. I was getting up approximately every 4.5 seconds to go, until I couldn't get up anymore, then my darling sister and friend were changing the towels on the bed..Apparently contractions..as the nurses would come in and say.."feel that one???" I'd say "nope" ...they'd say "hmmm" and leave..

Meanwhile the poor woman in the next room was in PAIN..screaming, hollaring, well you get the picture. I even asked if there was anything they could do for her.

Going back to me. A little after 11. I was feeling a little pressure and the nurses came in and said I had to lay on my side as the baby's heartbeat was going down..well duh lady wouldn't yours go down too if your head was squished...I kept trying but it was UNCOMFORTABLE. So, they checked me said "wow, you're ready to push"..2 or 3 pushes he was out. And the nurses said "you were'nt lying when you said to bring you a lunch tray were you???" Nope not me woman...bring on the food....

By the way..Katherine was there THE WHOLE TIME and did extremly well and stayed until the cord was still in the body and THEN she decided she'd had enough and went in the hall and waited.

That's Connor's Birth Story...

And not only is he one gorgeous kid..he's good too..

BUT...here's my only but..he looks just like my sister Jennifer..now if I didn't see him come out of my own body and I wasn't there the night he was concieved...I was there right steven?? (just kidding jeshhh)...I would wonder...

One of these days I'll get a picture of her and post it with Connor and you will see..

Summertime...

Well, for it being summertime, and Germany it sure is HOT...and our air conditioner is only a fan (well a couple)...

Here's Today's Temp:

Wind from the WSW (240 degrees) at 8 MPH (7 KT)
Visibility greater than 7 mile(s)
Sky conditions partly cloudy
Temperature 82 F (28 C) ..ONLY 82..It feels like 95..PLBBBBBBBB...
Dew Point 64 F (18 C)
Relative Humidity 54%
Pressure (altimeter) 30.03 in. Hg (1016 hPa)

OK...anyhow...so, how was everyone's July 4th...our's was well considering...

We REALLY missed Steven...while he was partying away we sat at home cleaned, watched Oprah ( I think I have a Girl Crush on her), then went to an AWESOME fireworks show here. Only problem was it started at 10:40...so by about 11:00 ish the kids were TIRED and Lizzie wanted to GO HOME...we got home somewhere around 11:30 and they WENT TO BED...we slept our REQUIRED 12 hours...and are having a very quiet afternoon ...well kinda quiet...I have made the kids clean some and did some laundry...tommorrow...who knows...

Any good stories from July 4th???

and that would be---ME

My ex...hasn't paid child support in OH FOR FLIPPIN EVER and I've never really asked, enforced..or really made him..every once in a while..I've asked..yep asked for money..sad when you have to ask huh??? If he said he didn't have the money..I didn't bitch and say.."bitch better give me money"...no nothing like that....no I'm a great ex wife..(If I may say so myself)....

Anywho..FOr the past oh say 3 months I've asked him for money..It's in the mail--LOST apparently FOR 3 MONTHS...every check he's sent to me and my sister..and now he won't answer the damn phone..

Why oh Why am I so damn nice to him??? Why do I still feel sorry for him??? Was it the accident?? Is it because his brain is so not there???

Too Smart For His Own DAMN Good!!!

So, I'm watching a friend's o\psychotic neurotic Kitty while he's gone for a long while...well Buster has some Neurosis...one in particular we've has a wee problem with...he can't have a door closed...Can't Won't..whatever the cat doesn't like the door closed. All is well in our universes until I go to bed when my bathroom door MUST BE CLOSED. For the first few nights we had to have a small lil ole come to jesus meeting where he would open, I would close, pull something in front so he couldn't open--- and he would try it wouldn't open and he would meow in the otherworldly loud meow of his..I would get up with spray bottle in hand and look for him...Now we've come to a happy medium..Doors stay open..except my bathroom..it can stay closed at night..great. everyone happy.

UNTIL THE OTHER NIGHT.. First let's discuss his otherworldly meow..most kitties have this sweet lil ole meow...not very loud meow...Buster....they tell me you can hear him in the next building..seriously...

anywho..how Buster opens the door first...Our doors are European doors what this cat does is jump up and take his arms around both of those and then hang so the door opens..all the doors are like this...EVEN the front door...Anyone see where this is going???

In bed the other night..me and Katherine are watching 'Saturday Night Live' and I get up and my front door is wide open to the world (well the hall)...I close it, check on cats, and proceed to lecture Kat on such things as responsibility, making sure the door is closed all the way, being too blonde, and don't lose Buster by God--he's Ben's life...when I finished a lecture--quite a good one I thought...I heard a click-a door click and went and looked and the durn cat had OPENED THE DOOR...so I CAUGHT THE ESCAPING CAT--not the one who opened it...LECTURED THE ONE WHO OPENED IT..doubled locked the door, and watched him try to open the door again when I turned my back ten minutes later.

And, it's not like he wants out as he was locked on the front porch for over an hour last night when the kids accidently let him out and the neighbors thought that the
Devil was loose somewhere in our vicinity..he was Meowing so damn loud to get in...

DAMN CAT IS TOO DAMN SMART..I'm thinking America's animal tricks..anyone got the address???

Final Update on This Situation

Ok this is the FINAL update on this situation.

1. Housing was worried about how I LOOKED...I was looking bad, hadn't showered in a while, had all the blinds down, looked depressed, etc, and the house was a mess, but more how I LOOKED. Those bitches were just NOSY. I took a Doctor's note about how I have chronic migraines and a handout from this siteabout what happens and what you feel like during a migraine to both the housing office and the squadron to vindicate myself. I still feel bad and feel dirty but I feel better and not so much.

2. I think mostall of the people I've talked to have come down on my side. They NEVER should have come in my house. Had NO right to. EVEN HOUSING said they had NO right to come in. I feel LOTS better.

3. The housing lady COULD.NOT.BELIEVE that they did nothing except HARASS me and those were HER words people HER words.

4. Now, My friends have sent me some solutions...I have solutions to take them off the christmas card list...oh that is sooooooooooo done...and out of my will..and when I win the lottery they are soooooooooo not coming to the party...but in all actuality..you know what they say...kill em with kindness...I will be kind, but I want NOTHING to do with these people.

5. I do ;however, APPRECIATE the maintenance men for caring enough to say something. So at first I was mad at them Now I realize that this in no was their fault.

*****************************

In a somber note

Please think of my Mother in Law Christina Moore today as her mother passed. My sympathy's go out to you.

Update

So, here is an update...got my house clean and took the mother's advice and went and got a Dr's note about my migraines...

Went to housing. Talked to the Housing Director this morning.. GUESS WHAT...They were never going to flippin inspect my house...that's right..NEVER...so..noone had to come over. they could've called and said..Hey, you ok?? Anything we can do?? Instead, I was made to feel like shit. Lower than the lowest lifeform and almost had a nervous breakdown yesterday. AND FOR WHAT??? NOTHING....could've been taken care of with a phone call...

THANK YOU BIOTCHES...REALLY THANK YOU...

Super Woman

Apparently my closest friends...I'm supposed to be SUPER.FUCKING.WOMAN....Let me tell you why. I found out why the 'unexpected' drop in happened....

A little back story...

Hubby is in the AF...we live in AF housing ...In GERMANY..(BIG YAY THERE)...he is NOT HERE (BIG BOO THERE)..OK anywhoo...I was sick for a little bit..and Kat was trying her damdest to fail out of fifth grade, be moody, and well turn into a teenager on me....when the hell did that happen?? So, my house got BAD...I mean BAD..not Dirty diapers on the floor, roaches running all over the place, dishes not done, trash not taken out BAD...just babies have toys all over the place, the damn vaccuum broke again..(which Steven cost 89.99 at Walmart not 200 like you want to remember and it was 2 years ago not one SHEESH) and I couldn't vaccuum until my I stole ummm borrowed the neighbors vaccuum again (and we know how the kiddos like to get into crap right and when they do it goes all over the floor), there was some cans on the floor Connor had "helped" me by emptying the trash just before they got there and my bedroom well it is the laundry room, and lets not talk about the two boxes that I STILL haven't unpacked. ANYWHO..on with the story...huh...Ok...so Maintenance feels it's necessary to CALL.ME.IN...because god knows I'm a DIRTY BITCH...

2 TODDLERS, 1 MOODY TEEN, 1 WEEK SICK AND I JUST COULDN'T GET CAUGHT UP...I'M SO FUCKING SORRY...so there it is Folks...I'm a DIRTY BITCH...YOU HEARD IT FROM ME FIRST.

The Last time my house was immaculate was....ummm..........





let me get back to you on that k?????


They come back tommorrow to make sure I'm being a good little girl so..In the meantime I plan on putting on my Super Woman suit and cleaning...and Steven when you get home NO I do NOT plan on wearing it for you...I plan on wearing that nice little one that has DO.NOT.DISTURB on it...

RANT

Here is where I'm going to rant, rave, bitch. and complain...and not about my kiddo's either.

So, Everyone pretty much knows the hubs is out of town enjoying himself, taking naps, watching movies without 462 interruptions, having someone come in and clean up his room and make his bed in school right??? leaving me here with 3 kids...etc, etc, you get the picture. Yesterday (Saturday) for those of us with a hangover...not me I quit drinking way before that. Anywho back to the story...Yesterday two of Steven's bosses wives call me on the phone..(duh dummy where else would they call me) I ignored it..I'm really really good at that..figured they would leave me alone and went on with my happy little life...(meaning surfing the internet, ignoring the kids, drinking wine at 10 a.m...ok not really the drinking the wine..but the other two...I admit to.)...Again..here I go on a tangent..Kat and Liz were upstairs..I was here with Connor and someone knocked I figured it was the kids and answered and it was the bosses wives...OMG...I was MORTIFIED....I TRIED NOT to let them in but couldn't they insisted...

NOW.........Let me explain the state of my house....

I've been slacking lately....not just slacking but S.L.A.C.K.I.N.G. Just not caring slacking...house looked like pigs lived in it...really...we kept meaning to clean but my computer addiction and well your damn blogs and the internet kept me here...see so it was your fault too...go ahead...take your ownership in this as Dr. Phil would say. It was B.A.D....but come on WHO THE HELL COMES OVER ON SATURDAY MORNING WITHOUT CALLING AND GETTING AN ANSWER??? I could've been on a bender the night before??? Hell, I almost was...I just stopped myself as I didn't want the hangover in the morning and since Katherine was spending the night with Gabby I knew I would have to get up with the kiddo's no bribing her to do it...

So, we cleaned yesterday and today..It looks alot better. Definately not pigs anymore.

But, really DON'T JUST DROP IN ON ME UNLESS YOUR FAMILY WITHOUT CALLING SO I CAN HIDE THE CRAP...K???? this goes for all of you...

Bad Mother Award of the Week

Goes to (drumroll please)...............


ME...that's right people ME...I have the audacity and gall to ASK my child to do CHORES and to do them RIGHT the FIRST time. whoa be her. I never let her have any fun. I'm just mean and ask her to do too much.

She is 11. Going on 35. Thinks she runs the house. And have I mentioned HORMONAL yet??? Cries at the drop of a hat. You can't have what you want....cry...you can't do this...cry...you can't do that...cry...I don't have the money today...cry..you get the picture...

She made up some story about him taking tics off of his neice...HELLO...did he do it nakey???
