Dear Mr President-Pink

Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why

Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pay the road to hell
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh

How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you

Far Away-Nickleback

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

One my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving
Hold on to me and, never let me go

Design Class

Today was my second day in my design class. We were told to bring in some snacks and a plate. So I brought in wheat thins, sour candy straws and gummy worms. We were told to "plate" our snacks in a creative way. Then we had to go around and look at everyone elses plates. I was told by the teacher that mine was different then everyone elses. Which made me nervous! He said that I think outside the box. All the others students put their food in round shapes to match the round plates they were using. Mine is shaped like a triangle, yet is placed on a round plate. He said that is very good and looks forward to seeing my future projects. How cool is that?!?!

Here's my plate. I took the picture with my phone.

Rocki, Cuter and Cuter Everyday



I took this picture of Rocki the morning after I got back from the Keys. He has gotten bigger and cuter, even though I didn't think it was possible. I love this little boy more and more every day. He is a big momma's boy too. He follows me every where I go. Silly boy.

Summer Fun in the Keys

Well, I got a call from my friend Chasidy Thursday. she asked me if I wanted to go to the Keys with her. I asked her if she was serious, and she was!!! So, Thursday night at 6 we hit the road. It is an eight and a half hour drive. We got to the Keys at about 2:30 in the morning. We went straight to bed and woke up early the next morning. Chasidy, Donna and I went to the grocery store. While we were in there, I go t a call from FCCJ telling me that my Child Psychology class would not start until September 25th. Ok, no big deal.
Well for the next few days we went lobstering, fishing and snorkeling. We ended up staying an extra day. That day turned out to be the best lobstering day and I got sun burnt. Chasidy, Jim and I went out on the boat to go snorkeling then go fishing. Well we never made it to fishing because we ran out of gas!!! It was really funny. Donna had to come save us. On the way home we Chasidy and I stopped a few places, did a little shopping and made it home 7 at night. I had sooooo much fun and did lots of cool things and managed to not get a sun burn until the last day we were there. Here are some pictures I took while we were there. I took them with my phone so their no to great, but they are the best I could do. Enjoy!

Rocki, the puppy formally known as Max


Rocki had a rough day yesterday. He got fixed, so he was sore and a little sleepy. I had to buy a cone to put around his neck because he kept biting at his stiches. He is not wearing it today. After I picked him up from the vet, we went to PetSmart to get the cone and a new collar. We got both of those things and he got a new toy. It is a purple fuzzy weiney dog. He loves it so much, he has played with it all day today. He didn't play with it much yesterday because he slept most of time he was home. He is a good boy. He hasn't pooped or peed in the house since Wednesday, and he barks in the middle of the night when he needs to use the bathroom. I am very proud of him. Here are a few new pictures of him.

Newest Member of the Family

This is little Max. I brought him home yesterday. Kodi, Martini and Max have become fast friends. He chases the cat all around the house. I took this picture of him last night. His first night in his new home. He seems pretty happy here. He loves going outside and running all over the yard like a little maniac. He runs circles around my feet as I walk, he has tripped me a couple of time while doing this. Potty training him is going to be quite an adventure. He is a little slow on the uptake. It takes him a couple minutes to realize whats going on, because of this Mom keeps calling him Joey, like the guy from "Friends". Joey is always a few steps behind everyone else on the show. I kepp telling her to stop calling him that, but she doesn't listen to me. Oh well.
