Went out late last night and got in pretty late, stayed up later than I normally do. Didn't get back into the house until after 2am. Went out to eat, movie,dancing and then relaxing by the lakefront. If you are from Chicago, you know what the "Lakefront" is. I haven't been there in years.

Sort of forgot that I had to be up at 5am today. Got in and went straight to sleep. Phone rang at 5am and got the "We are on our way" message. Cool....I just put on some pants and pulled the hair back into a ponytail and waited, and waited...and waited.They got here a little after 6am. Went to the grocery store and was supposed to go and look at some rental property today. But when I found out where it was, said "Thanks, but no thanks!". Pretty ironic that it is right across the street from where I used to live. Talk about fate!!!

Eagerly awaiting July. That's when I'm going to enter this pageant. I decided which one I'm going to do. Really excited about it.

We are awaiting the email back from our national Mrs queen as to when we are going to release her title to the public. She is such a really cool lady,with an amazing story. Once you find out who she is, you will know her story and why she was selected. On another note, we are awaiting some info back from our International Mrs. queen. She will represent the title of Mrs. Intercontinental for 2009-2010 and will crown the winner of the 1st live event in July of 2010. I think I'm going to do this with all events. Great to have such wonderful ladies representing the inaugural titles.

Saw a bad accident this morning...well...the aftermath. We were about to make a left on Ashland and saw them loading the 2nd vehicle onto the tow truck. We saw the first vehicle already on the flat-bed truck and we saw the police sitting close by. There was debris all over the place, it had to be really bad, as it was spread out pretty far. I saw something on CLTV earlier about "West Englewood Motorist Killed", this was certainly the West Englewood area. I will have to check out and see what I can find out.

Rather Relaxing Day!!

Attempted to get the website done, but laptop is still acting crazy. There are a few things going on with it. Probably means that it is time to trade it in. I just hope he still has that Dell I was looking at.

Will try to work onthe first few pages of the site after this post.

Today was Officer Valadez's funeral. I feel really sad for him, because he was looking forward to being a first time father this September. We watched his funeral which was partially covered on television today. It's odd, because today is the 6th anniversary of my cousin R's death.

Took a nice nap today, Tink-Tink actually let me and didn't climb all over me when I got in the bed. She did the cutest thing, she fell asleep right next to me.

Going to look at some income property in the morning. In my old area, but I hear the house looks good.

Well...need to go now. Going out on a date tonight!! :-) Shsssshhhhh!!! Also have to get a bit of work done.

Uh-Oh!!!

I went downtown today and picked up the summons that I was told to get by someone. Some people should be getting served next week or the week after that. I have a busy weekend in front of me.

Also got my fave sandwich that I have not had in months. I got a Rueben from Arby's. Of course, I had to stop in the Thompson Center and get it. I would have brought some Taco Bell, but it was not open yet. And I wasn't going to wait for it to open, wanted to get back home.

Today my neice K graduates from K. Congrats Miss K. J graduates next month, so excited about that.

Well, that's it for now. I have to get some work done. Take care.

Busy Day Today!!

I have been up since a little before 5am (it's now 7:44am). I have been up and running ever since getting out of bed. And the day hasn't even started, I haven't left the house yet. I have to go all the way downtown to two different locations that are about a good 6 blocks apart, then come all the way back south, wait for someone to pick up some paperwork. I have to clean, start packing (will explain further down), get my hair done (yes...still not done), make an important phone call and do a few hours of work.

The Mrs pageant site had to be switched out, so I have to transfer all graphics and stuff over to the new domain and hosting. And that's going to be slow, as I am on Dial Up until these people can explain to me why they didn't tell me the new thing was activated, I only found out after hearing that stuttered dial tone. So once I come back, I have to get on the phone with them and see what the hold up is. Then this laptop is going crazy again, now the scroller thingy works but the mouse doesn't. I'm sure sometime in the next few days it is going to go back to the way it was...scroller thingy not working and the mouse working!!! It is so much easier to work with the mouse.

Maybe I need to get going, because as soon as G-Ma comes I have to leave out to get started on my day.

Oh...one more thing. We found a house. This is why I wasn't/haven't been online posting on FB or here for the past few hours.....been in heavy, heavy negotiations. I can't say where it is. But everyone loves it. Have to have another talk today and we will set a closing date. YES...FINALLY!!!! About time. Now, I can shift focus on some more important tasks.

Oh...also....I kind of went off the last few days about someone in Silver Springs, MD. Not everyone or everything about that town is bad. It's actually a pretty nice place. It's just that I am going through something with two people from down there right now and it started to get to me, but once I spoke with someone and they let me know how it was going to turn out. I'm happy and will not mention them anymore after this. I actually love that town and would have considered moving there, but only if those people move out!!! :-)

The Vanishing Post!!

Okay,

I so had a post yesterday and it was a good one. About one of my FB buddies and how unique he was and how I have come to know him over the past few months, but apparently while having another window open I signed out of Google and therefore when I went to publish that post, it asked me to sign in and when I did, I thought the post had saved itself as a draft, but apparently it did not.

Anywho, the post was mainly about how I am friends with D (no not the D from Cali, but one from Michigan). And how unique D is. If you are on my FB friends list you will know who D is. The one with two strikes against him according to this so called straight-laced society of ours. One D was born a female and is now a male. D is also suffering from some type of impairment that falls under whatever the M.D.A represents, I can't remember the name right now. I sent D an email a few months ago, I think it was a nice one....I forget what it said, but I think it was something like "I support you!". I can't even remember how I came to find him. But I did. After not even thinking about him, I got a FB friends request from him and I have come to know more about his story. It is simply amazing. D now has a life partner, a beautiful son and a beautiful dog and is accomplishing so much. If you ever say you can't do something, then D would be the perfect inspirational story!!

Today's trip downtown has been cancelled. Tink-Tink sneezed out some icky stuff and I don't know what the temp is supposed to be today. So if she calms down and doesn't sneeze out nose gunk for the rest of the day, then we will go tomorrow. Plus, it's supposed to be warmer tomorrow. Only supposed to get up to 69 today. Tomorrow it will be 75. We are also planning a trip to the zoo sometime in the next few days, probably won't be until next week.

I also posted something about that word...J-E-A-L-O-U-S-Y. Being jealous of someone to the point where you think you can lie on that person to get them in trouble is a dangerous thing. It's a muther-blank-blank. A person will never acheive anything in their life if they continue to be so jealous, envious and spiteful of a person to the point where they commit FEDERAL crimes trying to get that person in trouble. They should also know that KARMA is a real bitch. When you go so low to get someone in trouble, karma always has a thing about coming back to bite you in the behind.

Like the situation I went through with a former family members. Instead of taking the low road and going to her job and thumping that ass at her job. I simply told her what was on my mind and told her that she no longer existed to me. I went to the point of telling her that she was dead to me. This was in July 2007. I also told her that Karma is a bitch and that it will bite her in the behind. So what has happened to her since July 2007??? Her bestfried no longer speaks to her, her mother has passed away, her SIL has passed away, her mothers house is in forclosure, her mothers house has no lights, gas or water in it.....she lost her job...she has gained about 30 pounds from what I could tell....and this is what I do know of her. So you see how karma can come back to bite you? I took the high road and didn't get myself in trouble for thumping that ass like I would have, and everything she did came back to bite her. And it will for the person in Silver Springs who is so jealous....the person in Visalia or is it Ontario now???....and it already has for that detective who has done some truly evil things in her life....being investigated by federal authorities and she doesn't even know it. Well...I'm sure she does now as the Silver Springs snoop has probably already or will tell her. And the funny thing about it is, a detective that I know from the same station is the one that reported her. Dare I say...KARMA??

Wow!!!

2 different police officers, get drunk, get behind the wheel...one officer hits a car with 2 guys in it and takes off...he's given a low bond and he bonded out and is free walking the streets...even though this is not his first D.U.I. Another officer hits a 13 year old boy on a bike, takes off and is found with a just opened can of beer in his cat and he gets a low bond and is free walking the streets. 2 guys shoot and kill a police officer, they get no bond? Even though they had priors, just like the officer in the first situation, they get no bond. This is just another case of the C.P.D getting away with murder...literally.

Now don't get me wrong, there are some very good officers who go above and beyond the call of duty. When I was in a bad situation, there was an officer who came back weekly to check up on me and my kids and made sure that we never went hungry. Even gave us these huge bags of candy. He didn't have to do that, but he did. He made sure that there was always food in our house and we had a problem with the neighbor and he quickly rectified that situation and asked nothing in return. Those are the officers that I respect.

I however, DO NOT, respect the officers that lie, screw people over...get away with murder, stop people for no reason, lie on police reports, lie in grand jury testimony, pay people to lie about crimes committed, etc. I have NO RESPECT for those type of officers.

If an officer is doing his job, following the law of his own people and the law of the land and not over-doing it. He gets my heartfelt respect. My respect is not easily earned. People who use their badge or job as an excuse to interpret the law to what they want to do, those people do not get my respect.

There was recently a police officer killed while on duty. I stated that until I know what type of officer he was, he only gets my respect and sympathy as a person. Not as a police officer...not until I know what type of officer he was. Unfortunately, we may never know. As the police will put a spin on anything and make it seem as if every officer on the force is just squeaky clean. When we know that is not the truth with every single officer.

On another note, the family is doing okay. Tink-Tink is just turning into a lovely little lady. Only about 4 1/2 more months until her first birthday party. Her grandma gave her a "Hello Kitty" watch yesterday. She loves it to death. She is looking so pretty right now in her pretty yellow dress that her daddy brought for her. It comes with the little panty things, but I took those off as the tend to get in the way. All the other kids are doing great, J graduates in July. The other two kids are just waiting for school to be over with. Next week is the last week. THANK GOD!!! That will make moving so much easier.


As always, the Silver Springs hater is in full force and out for revenge. I remember a post that was made on a message board. That message contained only information that she would have known. I thought it was the other dumb ass from Maryland, the super fat one. But it wasn't. I had to read the message over again. I am so determined not to let the Silver Springs trash-bag, who is the biggest liar on the face of this earth and is just jealous as hell because she is rotten (literally) on the inside. And is so frickin jealous because I have what she will NEVER have. Yeah...she can press the issue if she wants. But she will be found to be the huge liar that she is. I can't wait and I welcome the chance to show the world, just how big of a liar she is. I just cannot wait.

One Hell Of A Past 24 Hours!!

I have been on an emotional roller coaster for the past 24 hours. Yesterday, I was on my FB page and I saw a message from a fellow Mocha, I didn't like the sound of it, so I checked her blog and saw an entry that I just did not like at all. It scared the hell out of me, literally....and I live on the southside of Chicago, so not much scares me.

I had to gather the Mocha's and we had to do a countrywide Intervention of sorts. These women absolutely amaze the hell out of me. None of us have ever met in person. We only know each other from the site we all joined when we first got pregnant. Many of us have talked in person and have made arrangements to meet in the future. However, the sisterhood and bond that we have makes it seem as if we have known each other for years. Our kids are all born within 8 weeks of each other. We joke about arrange marriages between our kids, we joke about setting up prom dates for the kids. We compare milestones for each of our kids all the time. We care each other "Sister" and refer to each others kids as our "Neices & Nephews". I have neices and nephews all across the U.S and in Germany as well. That's how tight we are.

One of our Mochas is having some trouble and I reached out to the others and we are coming together to help this woman out in any way that she may need it. We are coming up with some pretty good ideas for our fellow Mocha. This is absolutely amazing.

I will be honest, I had my guard up about a few of them when I first met them. Some of them, I just had no intentions at all to be friends with them or even like them. But I was there just to talk to a few of them and share pregnancy, birth and child-rearing milestones with them. But I have to come to love each and everyone of them as if they were my blood sisters.

We often joke about the Mocha Beat Down mobile and going to beat down people who mess with one of our Mochas or we talk about going to beat down one of the Mocha bd's, husbands or boyfriends when they get out of line. We also joke about how we are going to put a "Mocha Beat Down" on some chicks that are crossing the line and messing with one of our men.

But we are coming together to help this mocha out and that means so much to me that we are able to come together and help.

Lazy, Rainy Day!!

Today just seems to be one of those lazy, rainy days we hear so much about. I've been totally lazy all day today. Tried to go to the grocery store earlier, rain was too heavy. Will try tomorrow morning.

Things are going good business wise.

Got some good news, news that a certain C.P.D Detective is being investigated. Finally!!! Man, I can't wait to see what they come out with. Will be very interesting. Found out they shot another police officer near D's school. Right on the next block from his school. I don't know the guys condition, I can't be honest in saying that I am concerned or anything. But the C.P.D has a history of screwing people over and people are starting to not take it anymore. Don't get me wrong, I give respect where it is due. Maybe and I'm hoping this was one of the few good officers left in Chicago, then I'll have some sort of sympathy for him. But if he was one of the rouge cops that plague my former neighborhood, stopping people for no apparent reason, then I don't have any sympathy for him. I'm being 100% honest.

Family vacation is finally planned. Will be glad when we get there. We have had a rough past few months and it will be good to just sit and relax on the beach. I'm not going in the water though...I don't do oceans!!!
