I am at work and quiet tired because I did not sleep well last night and it is such a drag having to work a 10 hour shift feeling tired.
The hospital is packed more than usual. All kinds of patients. Nurses keep calling for their meds and I have to keep busy with their demands but the good thing is that day goes by so fast.
But thank you lord for having a job that pays well and is not too demanding. I have every reason to be thankful.. and before I know it, I am almost at the end of...

This post is curmudgeonly. I am curmudgeonly in many of my views. My mom sometimes called me a curmudgeon when i was in my early 20s, yet another example of her keen insight into the human spirit (she was most-definitely not a curmudgeon: more of a free-spirit, reluctantly caged by society's mores of the day).

Smith understood that millions of men were having a hard time meeting their responsibilities in the 20's but his dad just choose to opt out of that perennial burden. I have met many people in my life time who are not equipped by genes or upbringing to cope with the responsibilities of life. Then I...

I'm a single African American mom to a 5 yr old. I'm looking to move to an area in Dallas that is diverse. I lived in Irving for a yr before moving back to my hometown. I didn't like Irving it was not diverse enough in my opinion. I have posted a blog before and am hoping for a better response. I'm a registered dental hygienist so finding a job will not be that difficult. I just need to know what area to look in. I'm looking for a good elementary school and a safe area. I want to be around 25-30...
