So... Really... What's Most Important

For the last couple of months I have been getting into this crazy ass world of Work From Home Jobs. I have been trying to find something legit. It seems as if they are really out there from the responses I read on some of the search sites but people are so hush hush about the jobs that they don't give any names of companies. I guess that is what you call job security. It used to be that people wouldn't have a problem referring you to a job. But this economy has people so scared of losing their own jobs that they can't even help someone else obtain one. Hello... If I don't know the names of the companies, then it is just a waste of my time. I just really want to make sure these damn jobs exist.

My life is like this, I have two kids who wake me up anytime during the night due to various reasons so there is really no way I could get up and get ready for a job outside of the house. I did that for many years and I really think it is time for a change. Plus, my kids want me here just as much as I want to be here. Staying at home does get a little hectic but I wouldn't change it for anything. I am glad my husband gave me the support I needed to make the best decision for the family. I only wish more women had the opportunity. I am so tired of women having to make a decision between making money and raising their kids. Are you kidding me. How do you even compare the two. Nothing should be more important that your family. You took 9 months out of your life to nurture a baby and as soon as you have the baby, society wants you to pass them along for someone else to take care of them. The way I see it is, when you are old and looking back on your life; Will you still think you made the right decision regarding the most important people in your life? Jobs will come and go, but your children need you there during childhood. I have seen too many people go down the wrong path.

I have a friend who just told me the most revealing news I could ever hear about her. It really put everything into perspective. I understand her more now than I ever have, and we have been friends for about 18 years now. But she told me that for the first time in her life, (the very first time) her mother told her that she was proud of her. She is 31 years old and she has never heard her mother say that to her. What is up with that. I can't even imagine that. That kind of touched me and made me really realize how valuable we as parents are to our children. We literally make our children who they are. The things we do (or not do) will stay with them forever. You never know how you can affect a person. My friend's life hasn't been the easiest and she readily admits that there are a couple of things she wish she had done differently but, it all really boils down to the fact that she wasn't validated while she was growing up. That shit is deep. After all, if you don't tell your kids how you feel about them or how important and special they are to you then they will go elsewhere looking for the acceptance. This isn't completely brand new to me, but this is the first time I have heard someone close to me admit something like this and in that same instance, I got it. It was as clear as day.

Damn that was mind blowing. This shit is like therapy. You never know what you will get from my blog. I'll end here for now. Go hug your kids :) Holla.

I Do Know a Thing or Two About Basketball

So, I will start this thing off on a good note and talk about one of my favorite subjects. I won't get too deep too quick. So because it's my blog I choose: Basketball Plus I am watching Labron James give it to the New Jersey Nets. I am a 30 something year old female in an all guys fantasy basketball league and I have been kicking their asses for a couple months now. Well now due to some injuries to my teammates, and the fact that Tim Duncan wants to take a damn break every other damn game, I am currently in 4th place out of 12 people. Basketball is one thing that I know for sure though. We had a draft at the beginning of the season and I came out with Tim Duncan and Carmelo Anthony on my team. Are you serious. My supporting cast ain't bad either. Got Andre Igluodala and Mo Williams too. Yeah all on the same damn team. Are they crazy. Melo has been that shit for me all season too. Excluding the time that Jeff Foster broke his hand because he is a fucking hater. But Melo has been back for a minute now and killing there asses.

I also pick teams at the beginning of the season with a couple of guys to see who's team will have the best record at the end of the season. We usually pick 1 Eastern Conference Team, 1 Western Conference Team, and 1 Team (either Conference) who didn't make the playoffs last year. If you know anything about basketball you can let me know how I am doing. So here goes: My Eastern Conference Team is: Cleveland Cavaliers My Western Conference Team is: Los Angeles Lakers My Sorry Team / Team who didn't make playoffs last year is: Miami Heat

For those who don't know, the Cavaliers have the best record in the Eastern Conference, The Lakers have the best record in the Western Conference, and the Miami Heat went from being the worst team in the league to #5 in the Eastern Conference. And then there is this little race for MVP of the league. Well the top three contenders are Labron James (Cleveland Cavaliers, Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers) and Dwayne Wade (Miami Heat). Are you kidding me, how good am I. My personal pick would be for Dwayne Wade. I have been down with him for a while now. The guy is amazing. Plus he has a group of young guys for teammates and they are still in 5th. He has been playing his ass off. A lot of players try to knock him out when he comes in the paint but it only makes him mad it's on from that point. My favorite thing this season was seeing him jump on that scorers table and shout "This is my house". I feel you D.Wade. I love passion like that. Can you believe the picks I made though. Damn right I am already a winner. I honestly don't even remember the teams that the other guys picked. Why should I. They won't matter. I love having bragging rights. Holla.

Getting Started

This is Likwydice and I am signing on for the first time. I am a 30 something year old mother of 2 and yes I do know everything. J/K. Got your attention though. I finally finished setting up this damn blog. I am so excited though. It is something that I have wanted to do for a long time now. My friends and I are constantly having conversations that I wish I could present to the world. My people are a unique group. They are all special in their own crazy ways. We are all very opinionated and not afraid to voice our opinions. Sometimes it get's a little heated, but it's okay. At the end of the day, we keep it cool and they realize I am right. J/K. Now I am in the process of putting together a panel of people whose opinions I respect, even though we may disagree. Some of them have the smartest mouths I have even heard but I think that is what attracted me to them. You know that whole "birds of a feather" saying. I am really looking forward to this blog because there is a lot of shit out there to talk about. We all know, some things just can't be over looked.

Anyway, I will end it here for now.

Sign in and create your own comments or email me with your comments and I will get them posted. Also let me know what topics you will like to talk about and I will add them to my already growing list. Hope you enjoy. Holla
