"A change we can believe in!"

Last night was the Democratic National Convention which was held in Denver..

It is were all Democrats get together and officially announce there presidential candidate, this of course was Senator Barack Obama.

I am so happy to see him running for presidency, as i believe after such a horrible 8 years that this country has seen due to the lack of good judgement made by President George Bush, he is the one who can change this country for the greater.

That is just my opinion, but that shared of many other Americans.

Bill Clinton gave a moving speech, with what other Democrats are now calling it "History making"

It was certainly a history making night.

For the first time in this countries history a black man is officially running for presidency.

Bill Clinton supported Barack Obama's motto of "A Change we can believe in" by stating the following:

"Yes we can, Yes he can, that is if you elect him president"

"I want every person who was going to vote for Hillary, to vote now for Barack"

"I believe Barack has what it takes to turn this country around"

As Bill Clinton continued with his speech, Barack Obama's wife and greatest fan, stood proud.

"This country has come so far, but yet has so far to go. I feel with Barack Obama as president he does have what it takes to turn this country around. Not just because he is a black man, who was raised in a predominantly white neighbourhood and not because he has worked in the poor, crime ridden streets of Chicago, but because he see's everyone as equal.

Rich, poor, black, white, young and old."

"He see's the changes that need to be made in order to turn this country around after being led down the wrong path for 8 years."

Now even with all 0f these wonderful beliefs behind him and most of America's politician's backing him up.

It amazes me that even after this countries last 8 years, people want to vote in someone like John Mccain, who has the same beliefs as George Bush.

I can only pray that at the end of the day we don't end up taking the same path as we have been led down for the last 8 years.

The world thru a looking glass

Only in the friendly city of New York right..

Some people would call this a shitty advertisement.. (Sorry had to do it..)

WELL...... it was worth a try.

I thought pigeons only ate crumbs??

Baby.... the new white meat.

Reminds me of a certain brother i have, with a certain blow up alien many years ago.

Its strange what you come across while looking at the world thru a looking glass.

The great vaccine debate

Last nite i lay awake with anxiety for what is to come on friday... My son who is far from up to date with his childhood vaccinations has a doctors appointment for yes... shots.

Now i'm not "for" or "against" vaccines, however i do believe that in america children recieve far too many shots at a young age and they recieve a shot for every disease, illness, ailment you can think of.

For instance, when a child in australia is that only of a month old they are expected to recieve the shot against meningitis, commonly known as the hib vaccine.

In america your child will have only seen the world for that of a short second before they jab them with there first of what i counted, 26 shots before they reach the age of 1 year old.

Crazy??? paranoid???

Well not only are you as a parent expected to jab your child every 2 months with more than 6 shots at a time.

Your also expected to comply with it. Now as a mother i believe that as your childs voice and greatest advocate, you have the right to dictate when and how many shots your child gets.

To vaccinate your child is a decision, that not all parents decide on doing. After all if every other child is vaccinated, then they are safe from any disease and its your child, that if a disease should come around would be in danger of contracting.

And you would think that schools, other parents, would know this, BUT.... they are just as scared as the government. Stating " get that non vaccinated child away from my child, i don't want them to give my child measles" BUT

"I thought your child was vaccinated, so shouldn't that mean you have nothing to worry about?"

I have asked myself many times, why there is so much stigma on a vaccine must for all children in the states and why they enforce an almost communist approach to vaccinations.

I have come up with an answer, the cdc, centres for disease control, issued a statement after a ANOTHER infant was reported dead in his bed with no explanation other than they all had a few days ago recieved as many as 6 shots at one time.

"We cannot be held responsible for any deaths related to and linked with the vaccines"

What??? But i thought you said they were safe?

What are we injecting our children with? And why so many shots at one time?

Well, its is rumoured to be, that its much easier for the insurance companies providing the shots to do all the paperwork at once when it comes to vaccines, so therefore why not just get as many shots as you can in one visit.

The easy road for them.

And don't think that if you decide to not vaccinate your child you'll be on the easy road... Ohhhh no, your far from the easy road, doctors will reject seeing your child, schools will deny them entry, even emergency room techs will have a reluctance to see your child..

Even when they are all grown up, and are ready to take on job opportunities, any government job asks for a vaccine history and believe in me, if not up to date. NO JOB.

So thats why the anxiety over a routine visit to the doctor, gets me all worked up.

With the pressure to comply and my childs best interests at heart, its hard to decide on which road i will travel.

makeup bargains.

I am a makeup addict... I love makeup, what it does and how it looks.
Your face is a blank canvas and makeup is the art work that can turn the canvas into anything it wants to be.
I am always hunting for bargains with makeup as i HATE spending a lot of money on makeup but keeping in mind, i do like brand name makeup and i don't buy trashy hella cheap makeup as it has no pigment and comes off easily.. not worth even the few dollars you will spend.
Lately i have been searching around for a 120 colour eyeshadow palette on the net, now i watch youtube frequently and a girl on there does awesome tutorials on achieving wonderful looks with your eyeshadow, if you ever want to check it out its fafinettex3, i'm sure she also has a blogspot too..
she had a palette and immediately i loved the colours and pigment the eyeshadows had so i went on ebay to buy one... but to my dissapointment they only have prices in gbd which is great britain and australian $ now i'm no ebay guru but when i purchase online i like to see how much i'm paying and it needs to be in us$ .. so i gave up.. after researching on the internet tho i came across 2 awesome websites that not only sell the palettes but also sell other makeup supplies for cheap.
you can find the websites on my links at the bottom of my page, coastalscents and something cherry..(sorry don't remember the actual address) but there down there and they stock a whole arrangement of different and wonderful cheap makeup, eyeshadows, makeup brushes, palettes, tools.
There is also a website called E.L.F eyes lips face.. they sell all there makeup for 1$ and it is said that they used to stock there products in nordstroms or nordstroms had bought them out and know owned e.l.f BUT..... this is not true.. altho e.l.f. does sell all there makeup for $1 your better off going to an actual store that stocks it like target or big lots.. as there eyeshadow's are all matte and aren't the colours they show you on there website..

Not enough time in the day.

When your a mother to a child, a child of any age, you find that there is not enough time in the day to do everything, now many of you who have children under the age of a year old, know this and know this well. I'll give you a scenario.
Your beautiful baby spends half of the night awake and crying out in pain due to those new little teeth trying to make there way out. You wearily and half zombie like, half auto pilot make your way out of your comfortable bed to fetch the motrin/ gripe water/ teething tablets.. whatever you haven't previously used in an attempt to get at least 3 straight hours of rest.
Just when you drift back off to sleep after getting rid of the insomniac anxiety of "is he going to wake up again" you hear your hubby's alarm clock which lets you know its 6 am and you have only gotten hmm lets see 4 or 5 hours of decent shut eye..
You end up rising at 7.30 am due to the fact that your little man is hungry and has seen the sunshine coming thru the curtains and immediately knows. Its time to wakeup!
You spend the day cleaning, doing the washing and running erands. Nothing out of the usual.
You organise a nice meal for when your hubby returns home from work and count the minutes til he gets home so you can have an hour or so to yourself.
Once the baby has gone to bed, you've eaten, oh and by the way cleaned up the kitchen and picked up for the lets see.... umpteenth time that day, you can finally retire to the bedroom.
NOW what i'm about to say may or may not happen to everyone out there.
i know there are some superwoman/ nimpho's.. no harm said. out there..
But let me tell you, now this happens to me every so often.. not all the time do i not feel like jumping my husbands bones and doing the wild thing. BUT..... when you've had limited sleep, been on your feet all day and can barely find the time to remember to shave your legs..
mothers i know we all have days like this..
the last thing you want to do is have sex/fuck/make love...
Many times i have had the conversation with my adoring husband, "honey i'm just not in the mood" or "not tonite babe"
for myself to feel guilty, and think, "were did my mojo go??"
And why are men always horny, they could fuck thru rain, hail, they can fuck when there tired, have a headache, they get horny when they see panties or smell perfume..
The male and female species is so far from alike it just amazes me.. for instance.. men are at there prime sexual time from the time they learn they can masturbate to around 30.. we as females don't reach our full prime and its been researched.. til we hit about 40.. when the kids have left for college and we finally feel sexy and happy with the way we look.. phat, curvy, tall, short, frumpy all of it..
it makes me wonder.. If the men could switch jobs with us for a week, and not just be a stay at home dad.. but really switched jobs, i'm talkin, cooking, cleaning. heck even remembering to shave your legs.. would they still be as horny as they are??? or would the shoe be on the other foot??
At the end of the day tho, there is just not enough hours in the day for a woman to please everyone..
Now just when you think your finished for the day, and you drift off for what you think is a recuperating sleep... you hear in the distance over the baby moniter, your beautiful baby crying and those bloody teeth again are STILL trying to make there way out.
