I have been having a hard time losing weight. I am 5'5", and I was 107 lbs when I found out I was pregnant in 2008, and now being 2010 I weight 125 lbs. I know what everyone will say, that I am too skinny, or that I am a perfect weight, or my favorite is, you look more like a woman with curves and less like a little girl. Well truth be told, I’m not as happy with my body as I used to be. Although 125 pounds is not fat, but that doesn’t make me any happier about my body; I cannot fit into my old clothes, and I hate that swim suite season is happening fast and I don’t feel comfortable wearing my swim suite anymore. I have to buy new clothes to fit my new curves, and honestly I used to love shopping, but now I hate it. I have a Wii Fit and for the last 3 days I have been working out for about an hour each day, but have seen no changes. I know it’s only been 4 days today, but I used to be so small, and never had a problem getting into shape when summer came around. I am having the hardest time motivating myself to work out more. I walk around our neighborhood as often as I can, and the kids love to go as well so that helps a lot.
I found this article about 4 stages to avoid when trying to get back into shape. The first state is called “the honeymoon.” This is the stage where you have a goal you want to achieve and you work hard to achieve it; but expecting too much too soon can end your workout all together. Start with a small workout and slowly gain more.
The second stage is called “disenchantment.” As this article says, “your excitement fades when you don’t see results right away. You stop looking forward to gym time and start skipping workouts.” You should make your goal about how much time you work out, and not by how much weight you lose. This will help you stay in workout mode.
The third stage is called “stalling.” This is where people get bored with their workouts and lose their commitment and motivation to get back into shape. This is the time to start doing a different workout. Try using a workout machine you usually don’t use or even try something different each day. Doing the same workout everyday can make you tired of doing it, but switching it up can help by making it more fun and keeping your motivation up.
The fourth stage is called “frustration and surrender.” This is about the time you are completely ready to give it all up. You are not seeing results and you don’t see the point. Make a date with a trainer or a friend of yours that would expect you to be there. The article says, “Peer pressure can be a great motivator. You’re more likely to stay on track when someone is holding you accountable,” says Ratcliff from the article.
Although these things may not work for everyone; they are great tips, and hopefully someone out there benefits from this article like I have. Guess we will see how well it works. I know I am not “fat” but, I would love to lose some weight off my butt, and inner thighs, along with toning my abdomen muscles. It doesn’t hurt to get into shape and feel better about yourself, and that’s all I want to do is be happier with how I look and not be so judgmental about myself.

Dozens Ignore Man Bleeding to Death on City Sidewalk
This was a story from Jamaica, New York that I got off of the KTLA News site.
This is a story about a homeless man named Hugo Tale-Yax, who 31 years old, was bleeding to death on the street as people walked by. The NYPD released the video that shows this man lying on the sidewalk with at least 25 people walking past him. Not one person stopped to see if he was ok or even offered a helping hand. Tale-Yax’s funeral is Wednesday from 3-9 pm at Funeraria La Fe, 183 Wyckoff Ave. the report said, “In death, hundreds of mourners who never knew the 31-year-old are expected to pay tribute to the homeless man’s heroism, and lament the pedestrian apathy that immediately preceded his death.”
My first reaction to this story was the Bystander Effect. I am taking a general psychology course and in the last few weeks we were learning about the Bystander Effect, which is the tendency for any given bystander to be less likely to give aid if other bystanders are present.
Although most of these people walked by individually, there is still a bystander effect going on here. There is a man who was helping a women who was assaulted, and doing so, he was stabbed and left on the street to bleed to death. There are 6 factors that can influence whether someone will help a stranger or not. Will helping put me in danger? Am I qualified to help? Is help even needed? Could I get sued? Shock and the last is time. These are questions that apparently no one asked themselves, or even cared to think about. The Bystander Effect is a horrible thing, and we need brave people out there who are willing to put their fears aside to help someone in need. Tale-Yax was an innocent man who was helping a woman, and where did that woman go? Apparently she watched a man help her, and she went on about her day. She could have saved this man’s life, but she didn’t. I wonder if she is watched the news, or even this video and realized that is the man that saved her. I realize people are worried about getting sued because of some stupid reason for helping someone in need; but desperate times call for desperate measures. I still cannot believe that 25 people walked pass this man. All of the people looked at him and acknowledged he was there and may even need help, but not one person leaned over to see if he was ok. I understand that he was a homeless man, and to some people he could have been “sleeping on the street” or something, but when he was bleeding to death, someone should have seen the blood around him.
I hope this story will give others the motivation to help others around them; even if they are strangers. One person calling 911 on time could have saved this man’s life. I know if I were walking by this man on the street, I would have at least asked him if he was ok. I imagine with him being stabbed he was moaning or making some kind of pain noise. I am a very cautious person, and I don’t trust anyone, but I bet 99% of the people walking past him had a cell phone. If you don’t want to put yourself in danger, fine, but pick up your cell phone and call for help. Everyone now days are so self oriented, they care little if any about the people around them. We need to take care of each other, and that is something we as American’s lack very highly in.

Man charged with Molesting Children at Local Library
I found this story on KTLA News, it is a story from Downey, California. Daniel Ignacio Gil, from Bell Gardens was arrested him for being a suspect of molesting children at the Downey City Library. He is 28 years old, and is charged with “committing lewd acts on children.” The report said, “Downey police say a 9-year-old girl told her mother she was assaulted by the man at the library Monday night.” A 6 year old girl, one week before, said a man assaulted her after asking her to help him get a book. He is being held on a $200,000 dollar bail in Men’s Central Jail, and is facing 25 years to life in prison, if he does get convicted on May 14th.
My first reaction to this story is surprise, surprise. This honestly does not surprise me, for the fact that there are so many creeps and dumb a** people out there.
It sucks to hear about these little girls getting sexually harassed by some old perverted man; just when you were starting to think your child was safe, at a library. Seriously? I’m curious if this man has any kind of record previously to this situation. I’m so tired of seeing kids in such bad situations. For one thing, where the heck were the parents when all of this was going on? I’m sorry but I won’t let me kids play outside in our own yard without one of us being outside with them; even my 8 year old. I don’t trust anyone, and I wish all parents were like that; then 90% of the stories about children getting hurt would not be happening. People like this who sexually assault children in any way, shape, or form, should be put to death. I think our children are our future and when you put them in danger or corrupt them, and then it ruins the future of our country. I think someone has to be very very very mentally disturbed in order to harm a sweet, innocent, child. I think some stories should have some blame put on the parents. Obviously, parents aren’t doing their job very well. Our job as parents is to protect our children from everything bad in this world. THAT INCLUDES CHILD MOLESTERS!!! If you are in a public place and you have your child with you, don’t let them go anywhere where you cannot see them; keep them in your vision at all times. Doing this one thing can prevent a lot of disturbing things for children. Some people would be so surprised on how much this could increase their child’s life span, and keep them normal.
My son asked me the other day why he didn’t have any of his friends from school at his birthday party. I told him that most mothers aren’t ready to let their babies go out by themselves yet, especially if they don’t know the parents of the birthday kid. I also told him that that is exactly why we don’t let him go to friends’ birthday parties. We just aren’t ready to let our children go. I wouldn’t drop my son off with people I don’t know, because he is too young. Matter of fact, I probably wouldn’t even let him stay the night with a friend yet. I think he’ll have to be like 30 before I’ll let him. Now I just need to get the rest of America to feel the same way.

Why are so many kids getting hurt lately?
Last semester for English 101 we wrote blogs the same as we are this semester. Towards the end of the semester I got really tired of reading stories about kids getting hurt by adults and kids being killed by other kids. It is so sad to see these things happen. And since we are required to write 2 blogs a week, I have been writing one on a news story and the other I have been venting, or explaining my week, because I don’t want to do another blog about kids. Well now that it is close to the end of this semester, I once again am getting burnt out on writing blogs. I am still looking for a story to write about for my second blog, and all I see are stories about kids and babies. Such as this story, about an 18 year old girl who gave birth and stabbed her newborn baby several times and hid the baby in her closet. Or this story about a teenager beating a toddler who she was babysitting, you should see this poor toddlers face, it is black and red and purple. Or even this story, where a mother is pregnant with the baby of the man who abused and murdered her daughter. What are people thinking? I read the one about the 18 year old stabbing her baby to death and I teared up, because it makes me sad to think that these poor babies have no chance at life. God sent them down here, and unfortunately they get sent to the wrong people.
I wish there was a way to make only people who actually want kids can get pregnant. There are thousands of people out there that want children and cannot, but all these teenage girls, and other women are getting pregnant, and not taking care of their babies. Or they are killing them because there is something mental wrong with the mothers. I hate to even think about the last moments of these babies. One of the babies was murdered by his mother, when she held him under water. How can a mother purposely hold her newborn son under water and watch him die? This is so disturbing. Especially since I have my own children at home; I could not imagine hurting my 15 month old son. Matter of fact, I baby him a little to much, when he gets hurt, I pick him up, or when he does something he shouldn’t and gets time out, I go pick him up because I feel bad for him. As much as I love my son, I can’t image someone having their child and killing them.
People like this should not have children, and if they hurt their children, they should be forced to get fixed so they can never have children again. I hate the thought of these stories and it makes me want to go hug my kids, and be thankful that they were born to us and not someone who would have harmed them.

Dad Leaves Kids Locked in Car Outside Strip Club, cop says
I found this story on KTLA News.
Michael Galloway, 36 year old from McKinney, left his 3 year old and 9 month old children in his car while he went to the strip club. He locked the doors, and had the windows up, on his car that was illegally parked, with his children inside. He went across the street to a strip club called Pandora’s Men’s Club. The report said he, “was in the Dallas County Jail on Tuesday on bonds totaling $10,000.” Galloway told police that he was only inside the strip club for about 20 minutes, although witnesses said, “he was drinking inside for at least an hour.”
My first thought was how horrible this was, and if this is something I would want done to my children. I love my children with everything I have, and I could not even fathom leaving them in a car with the windows rolled up by themselves. Especially since they are 3 years old and 9 months old.
My second thought about this was where in the h*ll was the mother. And what mother out there wouldn’t know where their children are at all times. A 9 month old baby would need diapers changed, and bottles every couple hours. It’s sad that this happened and I feel so bad for these kids. At least the children are young enough to possible not remember this. It is things like this that traumatize kids and make them all screwed up when they grow up. Maybe the father was a “sex addict” which I don’t believe in by the way, and this is why he chose a strip club over his children's safety. I think it is men’s way of defending their cheating actions. The other sad part is the fact that the strip club has to take the crap for this. I’m sure this is not the good publicity they were looking for. The thing is though, is that the strip club is not responsible for what their customers were doing or are going to do outside of their club. I’m sure had they known about this situation, they would have done something. But I’m sure they don’t think to ask every customer that walks through the doors if they left their kids along in a vehicle. The report said, “a tow truck driver discovered the children late Friday across the street from Pandora’s Men’s Club.” This poor guy had to find these kids in the condition they were in. I could not imagine finding something like that. I would probably bust out a window while crying and trying to rescue the children. I have to at least give the father credit for being a complete idiot and parking stupidly, because had he not, the kids may not have even been found until the father’s “strip club needs” were met.
Kids are so innocent and there’s no reason for something like this to happen to them. People like this don’t deserve to keep their children. I hate seeing kids in foster care, because I would rather see them with their own parents, and I know that it can have a bad affect on some children, but when their parents are worse of then a foster care, then I think it would be in the child’s best interest to put them in a good home with people who love them and would pay more attention to them then their deadbeat father.

Career Goals for Me!
I have had a hard time this week trying to figure out what I want to do with my schooling career. I first wanted to become a Nurse (RN), so I started at Southern as a nursing major. I’ve wanted to become a nurse since I was a little girl, partially because it’s something I’ve always remembered I wanted to do, and partially because it’s something my father always wanted me to do. I always told myself after I graduate High School then I was going to join the Air Force and become a nurse. Plans changed when I met my husband and decided not to join the military. After starting college as a nursing major I decided to do some shadowing at Freeman Hospital where I decided nursing was not for me. I found it very boring. Although I was shadowing in the Emergency Room, it didn’t seem like something I really wanted to do. So taking the English course I was in, I realized I really enjoyed English. I love writing and I love correcting things; this is where I decided maybe I want to become an English teacher. Not sure if I would want to teach younger kids, but maybe high school kids or even college. I love the psychology course I am in, and I have always been interested in psychology. I took a psychology course in high school and I loved it, and even 4 years later in college I still have the passion for it as I did before. I’ve been thinking lately that maybe I want to switch to become a Psychology Major, but I am having the hardest time trying to figure out what I could even do with a Psychology Degree. I don’t think I really would want to work as a psychologist, so I’m not sure how it would benefit me. I would love to be a legal secretary, but not sure what degree would be in my best interest for that goal. I don’t want to go as far as a paralegal, just a legal secretary/assistant. I would love a job like this.
Plus side, is my husband is starting school this summer, (a few weeks away), and he is going to major in political science, and minor in psychology. After getting his bachelor’s degree, he is going to go to a law school, which is 4 more years of schooling. After getting his law degree, he will have to do like 3-4 years under someone else. And then, he plans on starting his own law firm. My husband is very smart and I know he will achieve everything he wants.
So I guess my goal now is to major in English, and maybe minor in some computer skills (which I have no idea which department that even is) and get a job as a legal assistant somewhere, and in 10-12 years I can work for my husband. I just worry that I won’t like the literature classes I am required to take for my English degree.

Lesbian Teachers Charged After Being Found Naked in Classroom
I found this story on KTLA News.
This is a story from Brooklyn about 2 female teachers charged with misconduct. Both of these teachers work for James Madison High School, where they were found naked together in a classroom. Cindy Mauro, 34 years old, is a French teacher at the school. Alini Brito, 30 years old, is the Spanish teacher. A janitor found both women in a classroom during a school assembly on November 20th, undressed, and “sharing a kiss” allegedly. Both women were removed from the school and sent directly to the Department of Education disciplinary chambers. The New York Department of Education confirmed that the teachers have been reassigned, but didn’t release any other detail. School officials said, “The school is investigating an incident of employee misconduct while the school was having an event in the assembly.”
First things first, I have nothing wrong with lesbians. I do, however, have a problem with lesbians, or anyone for that matter, doing inappropriate things at a school where kids are attending.
I am perfectly fine with gays, and I have nothing against them. But I am going to say thank God it was a janitor who caught them and not one of the students. Why were these teachers half naked or naked in a classroom during school hours? This could have been a very traumatic experience for a kid. Although it is high school kids, so I bet if a guy walked in, it would have been the best experience of his life, thinking it was a life porn or something. I’m surprised these girls even got caught. If the janitor was a man, you’d think he would keep his mouth shut as long as the teachers let him watch every once in a while. And if the janitor was a woman, she could have been extremely jealous of the teachers, who in my opinion, aren’t too bad looking, and decided to tell on them to get them into trouble. Although being a male or a female, someone should have told due to the fact that this occurred in a school. I know any parent out there who has a child in school would not want this kind of behavior done in their schools. Another thing that would really suck if a male student found them would be the fact that all the girls in the school would be upset, because now all the guy co-eds are thinking about their French and Spanish teachers, and I bet this may have broke up a lot of high school couples who were dating. This is something that would have caused a lot of stress in the school, and there are ways that the girls can move on and learn how to handle their break ups. Guys probably made to many comments about their hot teachers making out naked, and I bet the girls hated that. How could high school girls compete with a hot naked lesbian teacher? (from the high school guys views)
Bottom line is, naked lesbians should not be teaching in high school, or any other school for that. And they should learn how to keep their relationship in their private life. This gives a whole new meaning to keeping your personal life and your work life separate. lol

This is something that would have caused a lot of stress in the school, and there are ways that the girls can move on and learn how to handle their break ups. Guys probably made to many comments about their hot teachers making out naked, and I bet the girls hated that. How could high school girls compete with a hot naked lesbian teacher? (from the high school guys views)
Bottom line is, naked lesbians should not be teaching in high school, or any other school for that. And they should learn how to keep their relationship in their private life. This gives a whole new meaning to keeping your personal life and your work life separate. lol
This week!
This has been a very long week for me. I feel like today is never going to end. We just found out yesterday that my husband’s uncle has passed away. We are going to the funeral on Monday. My husband has a huge family, which has its advantages, but also has its disadvantages as well. One advantage of a big family is that you always have people around when you need them. One disadvantage is since you have such a large family; there are more funerals to attend. I’ve had 2 funerals in my whole life, because my family is very small; but I have been to 3 funerals in 3 years with my husband’s family; that’s 1 a year. I hate funerals because they are so sad, and watching the people I care about cry is even more sad. I remember going to my husband’s aunt’s funeral and I had only met her a couple times and was ok going to the funeral, but when I saw his grandpa crying, it made me cry. I cried for someone I didn’t even know. It’s a very depressing moment for everyone; I wish everyone could just live forever and not die.
Since my husband and I have bought a new TV for our bedroom, and mounted it on the wall, we got a cable box to record our shows on so we can watch movies and whatnot in our bedroom. It’s nice to relax and watch a movie with my husband. My 1 year old son laid with me and watched the movie Cars with me. That is his favorite movie, and although he didn’t really lay with me because he wanted to get up and play with the curtains hanging behind the bed, it was nice relax.
My son is playing baseball this year. We are so very excited because last year he was playing tee-ball and it was so cute. He was the first one on his team to actually slide into home base, and we watched all the other kids start to do it after him lol, it was so adorable. But this year he is playing real baseball, and they are using a pitching machine. It is a lot more to get used to, going from a tee-ball stand holding the ball for you, to a machine throwing the ball towards you. I think it will take him a little bit to get used to, but he’s catching on fast.
My husband bought bubble bath soap for my 1 year old son for Easter. It has Lightning McQueen from the movie Cars on it, which he loves. We have been giving him bubble baths lately and he loves it. He will lay on his belly and act like he’s swimming; then when he sits up, he has bubbles on the entire front side of his body, including a bubble beard. I love watching my son play and laugh. That is something I think every mother loves, is watching their child have fun and see a big smile on their face. My baby is sleeping now, but I think when he wakes up, I may take him to the park since my husband is at the movies with a couple friends of his.

Kids help mother deliver baby
I found this story on MSNBC News from Fremont, California. Alana Sanders went into labor while at home with no one around to help but her 11 year old daughter, Faith, and her 9 year old son, Jabari. Sanders’ is 36 years old and this was her 4th child. She gave birth while standing in her bathroom, with both her kids helping her and talking to 911 to get them through it. Her husband, Geoffrey left for work around 1:30am and was unable to help. The 911 call is posted on KRON4. Sanders’ said, “They didn’t freak out. They didn’t fight with each other.” After Jabari tells the dispatcher that the baby was here, Faith gets on the phone and the dispatcher tells her to, “wipe the baby with a clean towel and tie, not cut, the umbilical cord with a string or shoelace about six inches from the baby’s body.” The new baby was 9 lbs and 4 oz, and was named Joseph. Alana Sanders said, “It’s still not real to me that I gave birth to my baby in the bathroom. I’m just very grateful that my kids were there.”
This is an amazing story; and it is so amazing what kids will do in times of need. Kids may act like kids 99.9% of the time, but when it comes to situations where a child must be the adult, they are very good at the transformation.
Alana Sanders is very lucky she had her kids to help her get through this, and this will be an amazing story to tell her new baby when he gets older. This may even help create a strong bond between the siblings, knowing that they helped deliver their new baby brother. This is the first story like this that I’ve seen, and it is so neat how things work out. The stresses of labor are tough as they are, but do deliver a baby in your bathroom must be very hard, especially when there is no one around to help you. I was very lucky in my delivery of my son. I didn’t get my epidural until I was dilated to an 8 and I probably didn’t even need it then. But when I did get it, I was numb from the breasts down, I couldn’t feel a thing. So I could not imagine being Alana and not having any pain meds or anyone there to tell you how everything is going. It is such a good thing the dispatcher was able to talk the kids through the process of taking care of the baby after he was born, and making sure the mom was laying down so she wouldn't bleed more. I listened to the dispatcher call and it was great. Here are 10 guidlines for a stress-free labor.
I’m just glad to hear the baby is good and healthy, and hopefully one day Faith and Jabari will tell their little brother Joseph about the night he was born, and how they helped keep him safe and helped take care of their mother in her time of need.

Last couple weeks!!!
So I had a very interesting last couple weeks. Last week was spring break and was very fun and relaxing. I actually for once put off all my school work and focused on my family. We went to my hometown Sullivan, MO to visit with my family, which was actually a last minute decision. Last Tuesday my son had his 1 year shots, which was very upsetting, and believe it or not, I cried. It was so sad watching my son scream because he had 2 shots in each leg. I made my husband hold him down while he was getting his shots and I stood behind my husband and the nurse who gave him the shots and listened to my baby boy scream, so I cried. I felt so bad for him, and I hate needles myself, so I would never wish this upon him, but I kept telling myself it was for the best, to keep him from getting sick in the future. After he had his shots, I picked him up right away to hold and comfort him. On our way home from the doctor’s office, we decided to drive to Sullivan to see my family. One because my son is 1 now and my grandmother still has not seen him; and two because we just bought a 1996 Trans Am with T-tops for my husband and he wanted to drive it around. So what better than to do both things at the same time?
My trip to Sullivan was great, although my father and I are still currently not speaking, and I also just found out he has gotten married; which I didn’t know anything about until about a month after it happened. I visited and went back to my mom’s house and we planned on staying the night but my son wouldn’t lay down and go to sleep so we had to just head home at like 2 in the morning. But other than that, we had a great time.
Last night we bought a new HD flat screen TV for our bedroom. It also has a blue-ray disc player attached to it so we are very excited to actually lie down in our room and watch TV.
My husband proposed to me 2 years ago today. He was very sneaky when he did this. I lived in Branson when we met, and there was one spot we went to that was “our spot”. My husband told me one day (04-02-08) that we were going to go visit my friend Annette. He talked to Annette, without me knowing anything about it, and they both had this whole thing planned out. Anyways, when we were almost to Branson, I called Annette to let her know we were almost there and she said to wait a little bit before we came over because she was getting ready and wasn’t ready for us to come over yet. My husband asked me what I wanted to do, so because I really like the lake, I told him I wanted to go there until Annette was ready. The lake happened to be “our spot” and had my husband not known I would say the perfect place for him to propose, this wouldn’t had been the perfect plan. When we got to the lake, we sat there for a while enjoying the weather and the water before he proposed. He then asked me if I was ready to leave, and as we stood up, he got down on one knee and said the most romantic things possible, and pulled out a half carat diamond engagement ring, and I said yes. After we got into the car, he told me that Annette knew he was going to propose and wanted her to tell us not to come over yet because he knew I would want to go to the lake. I called Annette and she was so happy, and at first acted like she didn’t know what I was talking about until I told her he already proposed. That was one of the best days of my life.
