All up in bidness like a Wendy interview

Why did they have to cancel Wendy Williams in the Detroit market? She even did a party at the Charles H. Wright museum? OK, so yeah it's ghetto of me to listen to her, but dayum she entertained me on my ride home from work, you just don't know.

So it was back to work today after a nice long weekend. Ugh, I really wish I were a SAHM, I have a great job and love the people, but I really need to be home. This is the cliff's notes version of our weekend. Friday, home from work a little early to start the weekend, then off to partridge creek to do a little shopping, we had some fun and dinner and then back home. Saturday, the boy had soccer, then off to lunch, Jose and I went to the gym shortly after then home for a quick nap. After waking up Jose takes the boy to the baseball game and Reyna and I head out for a little more shopping. Sunday, to the gym again for us in the morning, then I take the kids to the zoo, home, lunch and nap the afternoon away. Monday I take the kids downtown just to chill, they run around crazy at Campus Martius, then we decide to jump on the people mover. While walking down there, I see Moby, no, seriously I saw Moby and I didn't even have Jose there to joke about it. We joke often about seeing famous people, just the night before coming down the street, I told him I saw Rick Ross sitting outside the bar, to which Jose responds, "Push it to the limit, I push and I push...." But FOR REALS, it was Moby and I thought nothing of it, until we sat down at American Coney for lunch and all the freaks came out, shortly after noon. Duh, it was the Electronic Music Festival this weekend, it WAS Moby, he was performing there!!! So, Reyna couldn't appreciate it, so I was a little dissapointed, so we head to the ice cream shop, that is closed, boo. We get in the car and decide to drive down Mack to see if we can see our favorite crazy lady sitting in an old folding lawn chair with her big stuffed tiger. Yup, there she is, if my batteries hadn't died, I woulda captured a picture. We then head to the village and get some kiddie cones at Sanders and some hamburger patties at Krogers to grill for dinner, then back at home for a nice nap. After dinner, we attempt rollerblading and if you read my previous blog, you can see how that ended up.
Anyway, a fantabulous weekend with the family (and some laundry). I did get a call back from the allergist and she wants to see Reyna tomorrow (or else the next appt in late July) I can't take the time off as I just took yesterday off to take her to another specialist. Yeah, I wish I could stay home even to do that stuff, but she's in good hands with her daddy.

Livin' La Vida Lohan

We're back from the Audiologist, ENT, and Chiropractor today. Reyna is doing so much better, I'm so happy. Her hearings is borderline and will likely stay there, but it's much better than the original mild mixed hearing loss she had just 4 weeks ago. She mentioned a headache and earache and he diagnosed something with TMJ. Nice, something else, is what I first thought, but then I realized, well this makes sense. We've seen the xrays from the chiro and her alignment was wayyyy off in her neck and jaw line, it makes complete sense that she was have issues and pain. He adjusted her and although it was painful, she knew she'd feel better later, and so far she seems to be feeling better, which is good because the tylenol was not touching the two day long headache. Now if I can get her back into the allergist and foot and ankle specialist in the next month, I'll be all set *sigh*. One day tht little girl will have no issues and I won't have to worry about these little things. Things could be so much worse and nothing she has is life threatening to the degree that she has them, but they do affect her everyday life.

I'm a sucker for a good reality show and as much as I can't stand the Lohan family, I admit I watched the train wreck of a show last night. These people take no personal responsibility for anything, the mom tries to make it seem like the paparazzi are the reason that her daughter is a coked out whore. Please kill me if I start singing Ali's hot single that that Jeremy produced. Now, Jeremy some hot producer, also does babysitting for Dina's kids on the side. I'm impressed this cat has time in his busy producing schedule to watch her kids, while she no-doubtedly is out whoring it up herself. Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

For crying out loud how old do I look?

We needed some new State shirts quick like the other night, so we made a quick run to Steve and Barrys. I saw a cute Transformers tee for the boy and then had to buy Reyna something too, so we got her a Lucky Charms shirt (for St Paddy's day :p) Jose and I are waiting in line bickering like the old married people we are. It starts like this:
Me: I shoulda got Reyes a long sleeve tee to go under this one, you know he likes to wear them under his tee shirts
Jose: why? when he comes home she just takes them off complaining he's too hot
Me: but he likes his own little 'style' he keeps it on at school and just likes the way it looks
Jose: That boy is a punk
Cashier: How old is your son?
Jose and I: 4
Cashier: (trying to stifle her laughter looking surprised) I thought he was a teenager from your conversation.

God got angry and killed them with plates

My kid makes me laugh so hard. I take Reyes out on a date the other night while Jose and Reyna are at the daddy/daughter dance. We decide on Pizza Hut and the mall. We have a lovely dinner with him doing his impression of the dancing zombies in the Thriller video. We then head to the mall. We hang out at the Hallmark store and listen to pretty much every musical card. He asks if he can listen to the card 'where God got angry and killed them with the plates. I so had no clue what this kid was talking about; the card showed a cartoon drawing a lady on stage, looking a little opera-esque I guess, holding a candleabra. I asked him what he meant. "You know mommy, God killed them with the plates" HUH???? I ask again what the heck he was talking about. "Remember we went to church and then came home and watched the Rugrats and he killed them with the plates" OK, we went to observe a Seder with Reyna's 6th grade religious ed class, then came home and watch Rugrats passover, so he could understand the story a little more (or I just really wanted to see it). Maybe, he was talking about the grandma and grandpa fighting about which wine glasses to use for the Seder, glasses are dishes, dishes, plates. I think I got.
I go home and ask Reyna if she knows what her brother might be talking about. Noop, she doesn't get it. I ask Jose, he explains it to me:
PLAGUES!!!!!!!
nice, well my kid sorta understood the story and I'm pretty proud of him.

Homeboy shoulda got a ho phone

Seriously, Dennis Archer where have you gone? Freman Hendrix, still want the job?
Kwame is NOT my mayor, has NEVER been my mayor and I NEVER voted for that pimp that ho'd out my city.

Brother, why are you sooooo arrogant to think you can do the things you do and get away with it? Oh, I forgot we live in a city that will probably re-elect, your no integrity having ass again because they liked their 'hip hop thug' mayor. Buncha stupid losers.

People are angry, sad, dumbfounded; me? I'm just saying, "I told you so" I've been saying since he was elected he is not worth anything in my opinion.

He had an affair. Big flipping deal, I don't care if he had a GAY affair, that has nothing to do with the city, that has to do with him. He spent a butt ton of my money on his extravagant lifestyle that included his affairs. Eh, started to irritate me, BUT again, not going to make a big deal about it, I hated him before he was in office and predicted as much.
Brother LIED under oath!!!! He lied under oath in a trial that involved the wrongful dismissal of two officers that were doing their job and called them liars.

You got nerve Kwame. You have got some huge balls to do the crap you do on a daily basis and not think that one day you will be held accountable for your actions.
I've hereby renamed Hizzoner, Kwame Kilpatrick, OJ. No, you didn't murder a white chick and get away with it (but they jury is still out on whether you had a hit put out on that stripper) but you DO think that you are above the law and can get away with whatever you want.

You are a poor excuse for a human being. Repent, pay the city back, pay me back!
If Kim Worthy does not do anything with her investigation in which everyone knows you perjured yourself, then she has no integrity either.

May God have mercy on your soul, because I have no mercy for you at this time KK.

6th Grade Religion Class and Britney Spears

Last week we are eating dinner and watching tv as a family (wonderful family time), TMZ is on and it's on a channel where they are NOT playing commercials at this time so I leave it there. Reyna tells me, Britney Spears came up in our conversation in Religion today. Me, "Really, how did THAT happen?" She proceeds to tell me they are talking about oppression and Mr. Fischer wants the class to name someone in life that has been oppressed. Reyna tells me, so mom Iain raises his hand, and Iain, being Iain (as she's rolling her eyes) raises his hand and says, "Britney Spears?"
I love the way that wackadoo has even made her way into Catholic school Religion class. How proud she must be.
