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???

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...

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..

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 beenlots 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!!!

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§ion=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..
