COMP II

I must admit this term for me has been the most rewarding term. I approached COMP II much different this term then I did with COMP I.  My guess is I learned from my mistakes I made in COMP I last term. I find myself more focus and much more relaxed then I was in COMP I.  I looked back at the notes I took in COMP I and vowed not to make the same simple mistakes.  Although I need to work on some issue with my writing, I can truly say I am proud of myself.  I stayed positive throughout this term and believed I can succeed at this; I will keep this positive attitude with me in all that I do.  I am a realist and I know the road is not going to be easy but I am very determining to succeed.

WHEN WILL THE RAIN END?

For so many of us we don’t see the rain ending and we ask ourselves when will the rain end

As I walk my dog in the neighborhood my soul is deeply sadden; you see once upon a time the grass was forever green now all I see is foreclosure and for sale signs

As I drive to work my soul is deeply wounded for all those in need of a job, you see once upon a time I was fighting the traffic.

I went to have lunch at my favorite takeout joint; it was just any empty buildings on Tara Blvd so again I ask myself when will the rain end

Just the other day I thought I saw the sun come out to my surprise it was just the Stock Market

I am truly bless and for all who are asking when will the rain end, I understand and I to ask when will the rain end.

Parenting from a Single Mother Perspective

Being a single mom for eight years has it rewards and challenges.  I have two handsome boys, whom I love so very much.  It is not always easy and I must admit I’m not always the nice mummy. What make a wonderful mother?  Well for me a wonderful mother is someone who:

Love:  this is the most important one of ALL, regardless of what my boys decide they want to be in life; I will always love and support them. I may not always agree, but LOVE is very powerful.  WOW it funny my oldest some will be going off to college in 2 years.

Understanding:  I try to be reasonable with my boys; I value their opinions and suggestions.  Sometime their opinion and suggestion can be very unreasonable, but I listen I may not always agree. This approach help keep the dialogue between my boys and myself open.  I always want my boys to know they can talk to me.

Compromise:  I may not always agree with my boys’ choice of music, clothing, or hair style. But I learned that if I understand their music this will help me understand what influence this music may have on my boys  whether it be good or bad thoughts. I like to dialogue with my boys about their chose of music and try to understand exactly what the artist is saying in his music.  Clothing changes every other month, I look at this as if my son’s are trying to identify who they are. Maybe this is my boy’s way of discovering their personality.   As a teenager I never had to endure what kids today have to endure. 

Disciplinary: Okay this is the hardest one for me; as a parent I sometimes feel guilty when having to punish my kids.  I was never the disciplinary one my ex was.  I had to learn how to say no and MEAN IT, of course afterward I would go in my bedroom and cry, but I never allowed my boys to see me cry.  I am very discipline, I guess because I was a military brat for years. 

As a parent I am still learning every day, this is the rewarding part, well that’s all for now.
