I am planning a wedding and trying to get a business off the ground, being a stay at home mom of 3 plus 1 (my nephew lives with me), and well to put it bluntly... I am DOG tired. But I cannot slack in any of these areas of my life. There just comes a time in life when if feels as though you just need a break and thats most certainly what I need right now. No one realizes the extent of what I need. Not even those that live in the same hosuehold as me. I feel as if I continue to give, give, give in all areas of life and NEVER get anythin gin return, not that I expect it, but still. I guess it's just expected for me to GIVE.
SO how about that Hillary? She didn't do half bad on her speech at the DNC. I was actually interested in what she had to say. I think she actualy could have convinced her supporters to support Barrack. And this crazy thing flooding the news about the plot to asassinate him. CRAZY idiots. I mean really these guys look like they were so strung out... I mean could they really think straight enough to try to do something like that.
As much as I want Obama to be our president. I honestly fear for his life because I really believe he will be asassinated. Before long. Because there are too many people out there that HATE the idea of a "black" president. Racism is not dead. That sucks.

What today?!!
Geez the day hasn't even began and I'm in such a DRAB mood. What the heck is going on? Ever feel confused with nothng to be confused over/ about? Well as crazy as it sounds that's how I feel today! I have tons of things on my agenda and feel as if not enough time to do it even though I am not on a time limit.
The children woke up today as if they were on some WIRED drug! LOL They have been going ba---zonkers! To say the least and they JUST woke up. Hopefully the breakfast will calm them down a bit and they will play with their toys and behave.
Baby Emma got her ears pierced yesterday. She did well and mybe now people won't ask if she's a boy even though she sits in an ALL PINK infant carrier and not only is it pink the cover is faux mink. Now I don't think it can be any more girly than that. People act retarded sometimes. Lately it seems that stupidism has become an epidemic. Its spreading rapidly so watch out!
SO making my products to sell has been great. I've been pretty productive. I enjoy doing what I do though although it is very time consuming. Hopefully I can get it out into the market and start selling well. A lady ut me on to some festivals in the area that I can start selling at. I thing I will attend the upcoming one to see what its all about. And go from there. I ordered my naming labels yesterday at a Fabric store. I felt accomplished. One little step toward this mile I am traveling. Today I need to create a business card and order some. Progress on my own website has been slow but I will get it done one of these days. Until then... ETSY is my life saver. Remember ORDER at www.MamiSoChic.etsy.com.

GOOO Obama!
Okay so Michelle Obama is my new role model. Did anyone hear her speak a the Democratic convention today! What a well spoken woman. And to say she wrote her OWN speech with VERY LITTLE help from the speech writing team. That's what I am talking about. So, why is it that she has been in the lime light the entire time with her hubby and I am just now figuring out that John McCain was even married. I thought he was an OLD single fart! LOL I guess not. But anyway back to Mrs. Obama... she speaks highly of her family. She showed Barak PROUD! Way to gooo.

When Letting Go is the ONLY option!
I was reading through some old writings of mine and I came across this one that I thought I'd share with the world:
my blog today is When Letting Go Is The ONLY Option.
This applies to all areas of life. Do you ever feel as though some situations really have NO resolutions? As though you just can't try to make anything of it? That's when letting go is the ONLY option. There are many things that we can let go- a bad habit, a compulsive behavior, a friend, a lover, a job/career, or even family. It's just a part of life. It can take a toll on you... but that deep inside of your gut feeling just says LET GO and you know what else it tells us to LET GOD! When you have come to a point in your life where you know that letting go of that certain situation will give you sanity, recreate happiness in your life, relieve symptoms of depression and anxiety, or even just give you a piece of mind.... Think about it... LET IT GO!
I read once that holding on can make you strong, but sometimes it is letting go that gives you REAL strength. I've decided fo the new year that I really need to LET GO of a lot of things that are holding me down. No matter how happy people and material possessions can make you at that one moment it doesn't last forever. That's a good feeling of right now... not the feelings you felt before or after that moment. I feel as though I've been living .... and that's just about all I have been doing. Yes, I have things and people in my life that makes me happy but because I have things that I need to LET GO of that happiness that I once had isn't radiant. It's just there momentarily.
So, if I can give any advice to those of you that may view this... reevaluate your lives and really see if you are happy... doesn't matter in what area of life... it can be in multiple areas... and think about what would make you happy. If it results in LETTING GO.. then do just that. LET GO!

A reason, A season, a lifetime
PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON
I am sending this to you to see how many actually read their comments.Your response will be interesting. Pay attention to what you read. After you have finished reading it, you will know the reason it was sent to you.
Here goes: People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season . LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
