Day Care Dilemmas

Why is it that great affordable day care is an oxymoronic statement? If you are a working professional, a student with kids, or even a stay at home mom who needs the break every now and then, why is it that there are always continual issues at the sess pool of life that we like to call day care?

Be it the horrible aroma of rooms that have not been wiped down right, the horrible greetings when you walk through the doors, or the multiple kids walking around with the honorary thick green gunk under the noses of every child you pass by as you simultaneously ask yourself why the attendants in the room aren't wiping noses.

Some things we deal with and overlook while others irritate us to no end. Day cares with little or no curriculum at all, children who are thrown in a room and playing all day while napping in between fights for toys. The over worked teacher in the room who is way beyond quota with no help or assistance while the director of the center rarely leaves his or her perch(office) only focusing on how to expand next years profit margin for yet another plaque on the wall.

As parents we often fall into the trap of putting things out of our minds so we can just get to work and hurry and get back to day care to get our kids, the day cares I feel know about this space we fall into and therefor profit from it! I think when looking for a great day care facility you should do your research as these are your children you are dropping off into the care of  these people and this institution, you know in the first three minutes if the place is going to work for you. Always go with your gut instinct about the place, and never be afraid to ask for question, references, and accreditation's.

Contact the directors on a regular basis, seek communication with the district managers. If you have a difficult time getting a one on one meeting with any person associated with the day care of your choice that should reflect on how important a day care provider sees you and your family.

Lashes

Okay! You have thought about it, but never tried it and you want to break out of your shell from the same ole thing! LASHES! They are the most subtle approach to beauty. Though noticed but some how never pinpointed, they are the essential necessity to every woman's beauty kit!

Thoughts

In my life I cannot say that I have been privy to multiple friendships along the way. When you really think about the definition of friendship it’s difficult to think that a person could really think that friendship equates to high numbers. Unless we are solely speaking in terms of face book connections, or MySpace acceptances

“A friend sticks closer than a brother"

“A true friend is someone you can pour the contents of your heart into."

“Friendship is the bond between two hearts, the trust between two souls, and the connection between one entity in multiple beings."

These are just a few of the things that people say about friendship. I myself have come to the place where I believe that we no longer know how, or even want to be friends, as we are to predisposed with our own agendas to establish a true connection with anyone who is not enabling our plan, furthering our future, or adding some sort of connection through association to get us to wherever it is we want to be. In today’s world friends are people who merely contribute to our cause, fulfill or needs, and buy us things. It's a sad day in the world when we arrive to our goals destination and look over and have no real one to share it with as the pile of individual to our left are individuals we have used and stepped over to get here, and the pile to our right are mere people we call when we need a reference, a contribution, or a powerful "in" to the society that’s needed to get us to the next level.

In my personal life up until a year ago I was a person who was on the search for friends, always appeasing, doing, and trying the whole nine. It was until then I realized the folks I hung out with in my past life that I called "friend" never really were my friends in the first place. I mean yes we had great laughs and giggles, we may have even hung together for a period of time, but I have found that they were more important to me than I was to them. "You can't say that Myster!" Oh but I can! Through secret conversations that weren’t so secret, phone calls that were thought to be disconnected or the forwards of e mails that ended up in my lap, the constant belittling remarks, or the way I felt after leaving the presence of a person I called friend. All these were determining factors in what led me to understand that I never really in my life had the friendship I sought after.

A family later, with responsibilities, an outlook on life that does not involve just myself and the blessing of being a provider I now see things differently (that would include myself). If in this life I never attain a friend outside of my union as I desire I have learned that I am my own best friend, I am the greatest keeper of my secrets. I am the mystery that as yet to be solved and the greatest novel that has yet to be read. I think we as individual should be choosier with who and how we share ourselves with others. We should listen quicker then we speak, and if we sit back in a crowded room of humans we can always see how things will play out without even wasting time and effort.

A song writer once wrote “in times like this we need the lord.” Oh how I agree however it would not hurt to have true friends that see you as a valuable gift given to them, homies who are there for you no matter what, and girlfriends that don’t get catty when you show up dressed better than them while wearing the same shoes! Life’s way to short!

In the place that I am now I can say in confidence that I have made great connections, but I only chose to connect with individuals who character show me that they choose gifts (like myself) for the indurations of a life time, and in the end once it’s all sealed in the bond of friendship, the greatest revelation is the contents of my heart poured out over the soil of the garden of their soul that contains the good seeds I have sewn into them and they in me. I challenge you today to value yourself as your own best friend, and to be better friends to the friends you have.

Woman with a sense of style

I'm not here to discuss lyrics, rhyme content, subliminal messages or explicit suggestion right now. I'm also not one to tune into music these days as my personal feelings on the issue is that music is dead. I have been introduced to the entity of Nicki Minaj. Say what you want, and think what you will, this woman most defiantly has a sense of style! I don't know if its her stylist that her label has given her, or if she has a team  of well tuned members keeping her together, but whatever it is, it works and you cant take that away from her.

If you were to google her name the ream of photos would be endless all artistic in some nature. I enjoy her most without the eight inch thick bang so it was no question as to why I chose this picture. I must say upfront I am not a fan of her music but more her sense of style, ANYONE who can rock a serious multi colored cut, or green hair and make it look good gets two thumbs up in my book!

If your hair is not growing then you can't be using this! Allot of products tell you things and have you believing you can pull sunshine from a toilet bowl! This right here is that deal! I do use this on my clients as well its a cream that strengthens hair, and makes it manageable! Any texture, any condition, any kind! use it! you  will see a difference
