So after watching a video that disturbed me yesterday about a father who was arrested for trying to pick up his children from school, I decided that it was high time I voiced my opinion about the education system today. I think the education system has gotten way to big for their britches and need to learn their role.
I believe the cop that arrested the father in the video had better calm the heck down because all he was doing was abusing his badge. Police are put in schools to protect the students and give parents a piece of mind while their children are at school. But to arrest a parent who wasn't even raising his voice for coming to pick up his children and voicing his opinion, can anyone say violation of rights?
My daughter is not of school age yet, but I will be damned to see the day that any school will tell me I can not take my child out of school when I want to. I have had this problem with some local daycares in my area as well. My daughter hasn't taken a nap since she was 15 months old but every school tells me it is their policy that she has to lay down for 2 hours.
If my daughter lays down for two hours she will be up all night, I as a parent don't want my daughter laying down at all during the day, I am paying for her to get an education not for her to sleep. As her mother if I am paying her tuition and my child has the ability to play quietly at a table while other kids nap, then that is what she is going to do.
I carried my daughter for 9 months, went through an emergency c-section, spent 6 weeks recovering from the surgery, I know what is best for my child and I decide what is best for her and I believe if I am paying you to watch my child, than you are going to play by my rules and not your own.
Now I have worked in a daycare facility and all you hard working parents are paying up to $200 a week for your child to be educated by these facilities, which in turn is paying their employees. Not only are you paying their employees to teach your children, but you are paying their employees to sit around on their cell phones for two hours while your child sleeps.
I also don't agree with the fact that these daycares have a set lunch program. I think that food programs are great, especially for parents that don't have the money or the time to provide food for their child in daycare. My daughters father is a cook for a living and we prefer that she have meals that we deem fit for our child, but being told we can't send her with food because other children have allergies is the biggest pile of BS I have ever heard. I am sending a lunch for my child not for other peoples children, so why does some other kids allergies matter? As far as children sharing on their own goes, this is why we pay teachers to be there, to keep an eye on these kids.
I understand the educational system has to improve to help kids get better test scores and keep children safe in a crazy world, but telling the parents what to do has gone too far. Schools are there to teach my kids ABCs and 123's and that is all, I don't care what degree you went to school for or what your damn policies are, I gave birth to my child and you will not tell me what is best for my child or what my child is GOING to do.
Smartin up schools!

Quitting Smoking, Kicking The Habbit!
I personally have been smoke free for almost 6 months now and I have had a lot of questions and speculation about quitting smoking, so I decided it would be a pretty good blog topic and would probably get quite a bit of reaction. So I wanted to address some of them here, I am not lecturing about smoking, but I am going to share how I did it and why it is so hard for other people to quit.
A Reason To Quit
Now when I was a smoker, my biggest problem was that I enjoyed smoking, but at the same time, I want to live my life to the fullest. I have read so many stories about how people quit smoking when it was too late. I don't need to lecture you that smoking is bad for you, in fact I found when I was a smoker it was annoying when people would say "Smoking is bad for you!" I always wanted to give some obnoxious response like really? I must have missed the warning! Everyone has a reason for wanting to quit, you just have to figure out why, because if you don't have a reason, you won't want to quit.
How I Quit
I personally took he route of e-cigarettes. I do want to take a second to debunk because I have had some people doubt my quitting because I used e-cigarettes. One of the more popular responses I get is "oh I read they are bad for you!"
So being the researcher I am, I am going to debunk some of these for you. Yes it is true that the FDA is still out about e-cigs, but you are going to find a million of blogs that claim they are bad. Everything is bad for you, but if you want information you have to go to a credible source.
E-cigs have nicotine in them, which isn't great for your body, but it isn't going to kill you in such low doses and you can buy them without nicotine at all.
So if you read an article that e-cigs are worse than you for cigs, check the source, I bet it isn't credible.
Personally, I enjoy the e-cig because as I said, I enjoyed smoking and it helps with the putting something in your mouth sensation (Go ahead insert perverted joke here).
Quitting Isn't Easy
Now one thing that annoyed me about quitting smoking is people who want to quit smoking but say to me "quitting isn't easy." I quit smoking, I am aware that it wasn't easy. Just because I succeeded, doesn't mean it was easy, but these are some things I learned about the quitting process.
You can't quit while smoking. There are so many people I hear that are like, I will only smoke a few a day. While cutting down is good, you are still smoking, and your only paddling with one oar. Cold turkey is hard, but it is effective.
Stop making excuses. I hear so many people give me reasons why they can't quit smoking (ex. My job is stressful, I am out of work, I have tried and its hard) all these are is a reason not to quit and you are using them as a security blanket not to quit. Life is hard and there will always be an excuse not to quit. Don't let the excuses take over.
One thing I found that helped in the quitting process was challenging myself. The first few days are torture and you will be miserable, but if you make it through those hours without one and go back to smoking, you wasted hours of your life being miserable for nothing. It does get better and it does get easier, you just have to challenge yourself to make it to that point.
Don't Be Negative
I have learned when I quit smoking, I was surrounded with a lot of negativity and people who tried to drag me down because I quit smoking, but the truth is, those people are tearing you down because they feel bad that they haven't been able to do it. I know it sounds cliche, but don't give in to peer pressure.
So if you want to quit smoking, today is your day.

Planning A Disney Birthday Party On A Budget
Planning a child's birthday party can be a hassle, especially if you are not the planning type! So you will try to find the best resources you can that can help you out, so I wanted to help out by giving some easy tips for planning a Disney birthday party on a budget.
So my daughter recently turned 4 and she is a big fan of the Disney princesses, since her birthday falls in the month of October, really close to Halloween, we decided that we were going to add some fun to the mixture by making it a costume party. Since our daughter loves princesses, we knew that the little boys would struggle for a costume, so we made the party Disney themed.
Invitations
Now the start of any party includes an invitation. I was on a budget due tor recent events in my life so I had to think quick. Since my daughter was obsessed with princesses and my SIL is a genius who gave me the idea to make a scroll invitation, I literally spent $3.00 on the invitations for the party. I spent 2.00 on scroll print paper and created my own online. I added my own twist by sealing them with a scroll seal with my daughters first initial on them and complimenting them with some ribbon.
Costumes
Once the invites were sent out, we wanted to start working on the costumes of everyone who was participating in our household, my daughter has a love for Sleeping Beauty so I planned a month in advance and went to Party City in September and found a costume for $20.00. The rest were being left up to craft. Since the Little Mermaid was always a personal favorite of mine, as a couple, K and I decided to go as Ariel and Eric. The Costumes were simple to make and required little to no sewing, all I had to do was go online to get some inspiration and the costumes came together.
Also joining us at the party included multiple cool costumes including:
-Mickey from Fantasia
-Ursula The Sea Witch
-Captain Hook
-Prince Phillip
-Tinkerbell
& More
Food
Once the big day arrived, it was time to reveal the decorations and Food. We decided that the food was all going to be food themed including setting up a table color coordinated to each princess and filling the tables with princess themed food. We used food coloring to color the pasta to match the princess and each princess got something special.
I labeled every part of the party with a special Disney themed sign to add an additional touch.
Finally, we had games that were all Disney themed including Prince Phillips Castle Pinata, Prince Eric's Fake Tattoo Parlor, and Tiana's pin the kiss on the frog (the kisses were real kisses with lipstick on paper).
Just like that we had a Disney themed party, we did the entire party under $200 and our daughter loved it. Since we planned more than a month in advance and did it little by little, the party was pretty much stress free.
The only stress we had was Wal-Mart giving us a cake with another child's name on it, which lead to us getting the cake for free!
Planning a good party for your children doesn't have to be hard, it can be simple and affordable all you need is a good idea.

America's Pretend Fight Against Obesity
I realize it has been a while since I have written a blog and anyone who knows me personally knows that I have been dealing with some personal problems, I appreciate everyone's patients and support while I have been off the blogging scene, but here I am and I want to put my opinion about a major controversial topic, Obesity in America.
Now before people click off and think oh skinny girl going on a rant, I want to point out that I am not pointing the finger or picking on anyone's body shape, just the way America is handling the obesity crisis and a few things that annoy the crap out of me.
First things first, I think it is a sack of bologna that America claims that obesity is the number one problem in America and that they are trying to fix that. Now I am a smaller frame, but by no means am I perfect, but what annoys me the most is when I walk into stores, you can never find a size below a 2xxl. I was in the store buying a white polo yesterday and we weren't able to find one in smaller sizes which for someone in marketing sees that they stock up mostly on bigger sizes because that is what sells.
If these stores are only selling to people who suffer from obesity, how is that trying to solve the problem of obesity?
Anyone who wears a small or medium knows how hard it is to find clothing any more because it seems like American stores only serve those who are over weight!
My next annoyance with America's obesity problem is the attitude that people have about obesity. Now I have multiple family members and friends that legitimatly suffer from being born big boned or have just overall suffered with weight problems and they are genuinely unhappy. I have watched these people diet, go to the gym, do yoga, and put in the effort every day because they are happy to make the change and it is by far not easy for them. They post their accomplishments and are proud to be attempting a healthier lifestyle.
For these people who are proud of their accomplishments, like my friend Sil who has accomplished multiple yoga poses and strives to live a healthier life style even though she understands she may never be a size 2.
I read something online about how people were criticizing a mother of 3 who has the body of a personal training claiming that men only like curvy women and I feel that it has become an excuse to accept the problem rather than to do something about the problem.
Now before I close out, I want to say that this blog was not attacking any body type, so if your comments are to attack me, then don't even waste your breath. If you prefer to happy wit your body type, then I am happy for you, but just like religion and other controversial topics don't claim to be the dominant type, don't make excuses, and don't push your life choices on other people.
There are people who are heavier that are unhappy with who they are and are working to be healthier and America's poor excuse of putting Mcdonalds on every corner, plumping up kids, and creating excuses for not living healthy is nothing more than a slap in the face to those who want to be happy with themselves.
As far as corporate America is concerned, they may need to take a better look at their markets and start accommodating for people below a size 2xxl.

Sex Facts: Interesting Facts You Need To Know About Orgasms
I have noticed in my blog statistics that more people like to read about sex facts than anything else. I am not surprised that so many people show an interest in learning more about sex, but I am surprised because it would seem that sex is such a hush hush thing socially. Sure you talk about sex with your friends, but you wouldn't talk about it with someone in the supermarket. Now I have done a few of these sex articles including general facts about sex and how to have 10 days of great sex and now I am going to push it to the finish line with some random facts about orgasms.
Ok so the first interesting fact that I have learned is that there are multiple different types of orgasms. I am not talking about how orgasms are different between men and women, but for each gender there are multiple different types of orgasms including how they occur, where they occur, and how many they occur. (I know you will all be counting now).
Women have very sensitive parts of their body, but the most sensitive part to trigger orgasm? Let me assure you that every man in the world has just blurted out the same answer, and I am sad to let them down because they are wrong. A woman is more likely to have an orgasm through simulation of the nipples compared to any other part of the body.
Everyone is busy, especially if you have kids, so it is common for quickies and skipping the fore play, but what most people don't know is skipping the foreplay is harming your orgasm. Foreplay increases blood flow, which in turn turns your little o into the big O. So if your O's have been disappointing lately, it could be from skipping out on all the foreplay.
Need inspiration for exercise? It is a proven fact that women can actually have an orgasm while doing certain abdominal exercises. Do you really need any more inspiration than that?
This one I had to share because I was hoping to get some feedback. Science has proved it is possible to have an orgasm during child birth......has this ever happened to anyone?
Pump up the volume. Studies have shown that turning up the volume and getting loud during your orgasms can increase the intensity. If you are the shy type, turn up the volume, because you may be missing out.
The Oscar goes to...........sorry to statistically dampen your day guys, but a recent survey shows that women will fake an orgasm 60% of the time....time to step up your game boys.
I have saved the saddest fact for last. There are women out there who can not have orgasms...(A moment of silence please).............In all seriousness, not all women are lucky enough to achieve the heavenly goal at the end of the finish line. (No guys.....this does not explain the 60% of fakers).
Well that is all the randomness about Sex I have for you today...
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHver and out

Planning The Perfect Kids Party
I am a strong believer that every child deserves the best parties every year. Even though your children may not remember the specifics, you want to create memories that will last a life time. As a parent, I believe in giving my daughter the world and I want her to think back on her childhood and know that I did everything I could to make memories for her.
I enjoy party planning and I find it relaxing as well as having a major pay off, but I have noticed that some people worry that they don't have the time or the money to do extravagant birthday parties, but everyone can do it no matter what their budget is. I decided to share my wisdom by helping parents get an understanding of how to plan a great party for their kids, without breaking their wallet or their schedule.
The first question to address is when to start planning a child's birthday, I am a believer that you should always start your child's birthday party at the beginning of the month before your kids birthday. I am going to use my own child's birthday as an example throughout this blog. Since my daughters birthday is around Halloween, I always start planning her birthday the beginning of September, so I have approximately two months to plan the birthday party.
The first step to planning your child's birthday is to choose a theme for your child's party. This is an easy step because when children are young, they tend to have an interest in a certain topic or theme. If your child is older, you can ask your child the theme of their choice.
Once the theme has been decided, you want to figure out the who, what, when, and where. Once this is decided, you are going to want to set your first deadline. You want to give people enough time to plan to attend your child's birthday party, so you want to make sure all invitations are mailed out a month before the child's party. You don't have to spend a whole lot on invitations, for example, this year my daughter is having a Disney costume party, so we went and spent 1.97 on scroll paper at Walmart and .48 cent on ribbon to create announcement scrolls.
About the middle of the first month, you want to start doing some research to find some cool ideas for your child's birthday party. You can use sights like Pinterest or check back to my blog as I will start writing ideas for children's birthday parties if I get requests for those types of blogs. You want to write down the ideas for Food, decoration, and theme.
As you inch towards the month before your child's party, you want to finalize some of the research you have done and write out your birthday plans. This takes a few minutes, where you can write out a list of decoration ideas, foods, and activities. Once you have created a list of everything you want to do, you can write out a shopping list for your child's party. You aren't going to buy food until closer to the date, but you want to do a basic list of things like decorations and gifts.
Once your list is made, you want to look at your pay dates and figure out what you can budget so you can start buying supplies for the party and putting them away. The biggest reason so many parents claim they can't afford a party, is that they wait until the last payday before the party and spend their entire paycheck on stuff for the party and find themselves hurting financially, by spreading out the cost, you will find that you won't be hurting yourself financially in the long run.
A week or two (depending on your pay schedule) before, you are going to want to write out a food list and go grocery shopping for the party.
Before you know it, it will be time for the big day and your child will give your a smile that you won't forget and your child will get the birthday party of their dreams.
Always Planning Ahead

The biggest reason so many parents claim they can't afford a party, is that they wait until the last payday before the party and spend their entire paycheck on stuff for the party and find themselves hurting financially, by spreading out the cost, you will find that you won't be hurting yourself financially in the long run.
A week or two (depending on your pay schedule) before, you are going to want to write out a food list and go grocery shopping for the party.
Before you know it, it will be time for the big day and your child will give your a smile that you won't forget and your child will get the birthday party of their dreams.

The Truth About Pitbulls
I have decided to write on a new topic today because I know this topic is controversial and it hits very close to home for me. I have decided to write about the controversy behind Pits. Now I have to say that people who think the breed is dangerous is out of their minds.
I am an owner of a Pitbull named Penny and I decided I wanted people to hear Penny's story.
We adopted Penny when my daughter was only 8 months old. We went to the humane society because adoption is always better. Penny was listed as a lower level, which means she was a great fit for a family with kids.
When we went, we decided that I was going to pick the dog and K who is a lover of pitbulls said he was just going to look. Well he had to see her for some reason. We decided to take her out and check her mentality and as she squeezed her entire body into the baby carrier to see the baby, we decided that she was the one for us.
Penny is gentle and would never hurt a soul. We learned upon her adoption that she was abandoned and ate her way through a fence to get out when her owners moved and left her in the back yard. She was found on the local highway and was extremely under weight.
Even under these extreme conditions and being a Pitbull, Penny is happy. She wants to be everyone's friend and sometimes I am convinced that she has more friends than I do.
With that story being told, I have to say that people who are against Pits because of their breed might as well say that they believe in every other stereotype out there. You all post your horror stories about a pit attacking a child, but I can find multiple stories that are exactly the same, only the breed of dog is different. Every breed of dog has had at least one dog bite someone, and its not the breed that makes them bite, it is the dog.
If you torment a human they are going to have severe psychological issues, the same applies when a dog is put through the same abuse. People claim Pits need to be destroyed, but when your toddler bites someone you aren't rushing them to the pound to put air in their veins. When your teenagers get into a fight in school and strike a child, you don't take them out back and shoot them.
Pits should be treated as individuals and not bunched into a basic stereotype. If you disagree than anything bad you have ever done to anyone else, is grounds for you to be put down.
