Heroes is baaaaack! This is the one show that've been waiting for all summer. I've got to say NBC 's probably going to be the network for me this fall. I can't wait for Bionic Woman and that show Journey Man really looks good too.
Even though NBC let my soap Passions go, I'll still stick around because Heroes is such an awesome show. Not to say Passions wasn't good to me(a bit strange),I have to say it was a guilty pleasure for me. I've always been an All My Children and One Life Two Live fan,but there was just something about that quirky Passions. Well, anyway I just can't wait until tonight for the New Season of Heroes. What show have you been waiting for this season? What show is a guilty pleasure for you?
-peace-

Ladybug is Loving Kindergarten
Almost 2 months into the school year,and Ladybug is truly enjoying her time in "the Garden." She was very emotional the first two weeks of school. She wanted to stay home with me;as a matter of fact, she didn't even want to go to school until she was ten. Can you believe that? I truly think that's pretty funny.
I always knew she would come around.I mean what's not to love about school at that age. However, I was starting to get concerned about Ladybug being so emotional at school in the beginning because her older sister,Rock Girl(who is in 6th grade) hated kindergarten when she first went because it was "Boring." My other two school aged children (Brother and Pootie)enjoyed school! I guess Rock Girl's expectations were pretty high about kindergarten and was tremendously let down by what she was learning when she got to"the garden." So, when Ladybug was very emotional about school,I was starting to get a little concerned because it was Deja vu all over again. I know it takes sometime to adjust to school for kids but for me I was concerned because Rock Girl has never liked school since she started six years ago. She's always been an honor roll student,who can be very lazy at times, loves science and art,if it was for science or art classes she would probably fake being sick all the time. Well, like I was saying about Ladybug,I was concerned at first but knew she would gradually become comfortable. Especially after going to specials, Ladybug loves art and music. After experiencing those two classes I knew she would love "the garden." She comes home everyday with a new drawing of me(my age is always on every picture of me too)her siblings,our house,friends and nature. But what I love more than anything is to see her face when she talks about music class and hearing her talk about pitch,that cracks me up.
My ladybug is having a great time in the Garden! Wooooooohooooo!

The Emmys
What did you think of the Emmys?
I was doing a lot of channel flipping,but I thought it was very entertaining. The Kanye West thing was pretty funny. You know what? I have to give it to Kanye West,he doesn't mind making fun of himself. He's still a cry baby though.
I also enjoyed anything with Steve Carrell,John Stewart and Colbert. Those guys are CRAZZZZZZY!
The cast of Roots was another one of my favorites, such a great powerful story.....words can't even describe how beautiful that story is. I read ROOTS years ago and it made me feel even closer to my American heritage and African heritage. Thanks, Mr. Haley for sharing your story......one of the greatest American stories ever told.

Middle School Can Be Cruel
Tonight I sit here crying because I just learned my 11 year old daughter, is struggling in Middle School. It's not academics that she is struggling with,it's the adjustment to middle school...Two weeks ago she came home so excited that she finally memorized her class schedule and I thought she was adjusting to middle school life quite fine,but now I know she was just pretending for me and her dad.
See,like I said,its not the academics so much,its just that she can be very forget full at times. She always does her homework, but forgets it in her locker.She came home one day, sad because she got a zero on her homework because of that. I told her she has to be more responsible and if she wants credit for something that she has done then turn it in on time,and she can't forget things so important. I also said these are learning moments for you and that she'll get the hang of middle school pretty soon. It will take time but she'll get the hang of it.
My daughter is a very bright kid,she's been on Honor Roll and Principal's Honor Roll every since kindergarten and has always been a very outgoing person,always helped out with her siblings and since school has started (a month now)she has been pretty angry with them. I mean she has been real snappy with them and she seems to have lost interest in a lot of things she loved just a month ago. At the beginning of the school year, I always wanted to know if she made any new friends since she had NO classes with any of her old friends.....the answer was always Not yet mom!
Just recently I found out that in her Social Studies class there's this group of girls who always tell her to move because they want some other girl to sit there. My daughter told them,NO! But she also told me that a lot of those kids don't want to be her friend because she doesn't watch BET or MTV and some really crazy shows that I don't think kids should be watching.
My kid is 11 years old and she truly acts like an 11 year old girl. She still loves Cartoon Network,playing outside,collecting rocks,coloring and listening to bedtime stories. In fact, she is one of the greatest kids I know and Love!

Do You Love or Hate Back To School Time?
I personally I love being around my kids(they do drive me crazy at times),so this time of the year is really hard for me. I get really sad that they'll be gone all day,I hate that I have to work around the school's schedule. I don't know how many people feel like this, but I just thought I would bring it up. Oh,Yeah I hate getting up at 6 a.m. What are your feelings about this time of year?
