OK I am going to try something new. I have started a diet, as I am going on vacation in a few days. I will update this at least once a week, and if anyone joins me I would love to see how this is working for you as well. I do need to cover my butt however by saying please talk to your doctor before you start this or any other weight loss program, diet pill, exercise routine etc..... if you get hurt or sick it is not my fault. This is just what, after years and years I have found works for me. I also do not endorse any products I use, nor am I paid by these companies to promote them. Again this is just what I found works for me.
So a couple of weeks ago we decided to go to NY, I have to admit I have never before went to a city so massive. So I decided I need to lose some weight and quick. I have had 3 kids over the last four years, and after the third instead of losing weight I managed to pack more on. I carry my weight well, so at 180 pounds I still looked about 20 pounds lighter. But it was still to much, at 5'3 that puts me in the obese category. I decided to take a very dramatic step. Two weeks ago I went to GNC and bought Hydroxycut, and some whey protein drink mix. I drink a mix for breakfast, and lunch and eat a small, but typical dinner. If I get hungry I will eat a hard boiled egg, or apple, and I drink lots and lots of water. I take the Hydroxycut as directed, and guess what I am down 12 pounds already. I am so happy. I really didn't think it was a reality to lose weight so quickly. I am down a size in my pants, my other clothes fit me better. This really seems to work. It is hard, and I have slipped up a few times, but I have stuck with it, and it seems to get easier everyday. I plan on weighing myself again in a couple of days, one I do so I will post my new numbers.

Dead Beat Parents This goes out to you James Pritchett
So today I am gonna go off my normal rants, and go into something that effects single parents around the world. I am beyond pissed right now. My eldest two children have a DEAD BEAT DAD. He will not pay child support, no matter how bad we may need it. He has money, he works, he just doesn't feel like he is obligated in anyway to support his children emotionally, or psychologically. HE is a nobody.
I filed papers with the Florida Child Support Enforcement Office, and over a year later I still have nothing. There was at one point a court date set, but the day after I received notice it was set, I received another notice saying it was cancelled due to a support obligation in another state. What? There was not another order set anywhere. So I called the office and they informed me that he had told them there was an order set for some other children ( not mine) whom I had never heard of in TN. So at this point I am just lost. First of all there are no other children, secondly even if there were, what would there order have to do with my children.
I don't know why they have a system set up that seems to help these parents to get off the hook with there obligations, instead of helping the custodial parent. It is sad enough these children are growing up with only one of their biological parents, but to allow these parents who have decided to walk away to have no responsibilities to these children is just an outrage. So I say this shame on you James Thomas Pritchett Jr, and all the other dead beat parents out there. Karma can play many cruel acts on a person, and I can assure you that your will catch up with you. Hopefully sooner than later.

Micheal Jackson
Anyone who has a TV, Radio, Computer, or reads the paper knows by now about the death of MJ. The news shocked me for some reason. And I say that because I really don't care. It saddens me that the king of pop, during my generation anyway, is dead. And it bothers me that we now will never have the chance to learn the truth behind the molestion alligations. But other than that ...... well like I said I do not care. I don't care why, or how. I don't care who confermed his death first. What I did care about was missing the rest of the news for the following 4 hours. People die, people who deserve more recinition than Micheal. People who do good in this world full of evil.
I want to know why our troops don't get that much coverage when they are blown into hundreds of pieces in some third world country, while trying to protect our asses from the same people who blew him up, I think he deserves 4 hours of TV coverage. I want to see 4 hours of coverage of US citizens coming together to help another country in crisis due, who want and appreciate our help. I want to see 4 hours of news coverage about the police, firefighters, and health care teams who do their job to the best of there ability everyday, to make my life safer, no matter the circumstances. What I don't want to see is a helicopter flying over a hospital over and over. What I don't want to hear is about how remarkable his life was. Because lets face it, it wasn't.

Jon & Kate +8-1....What
Ok so I have to admit I love Jon and Kate + 8. I watch it as often as I can. Recently I have shed a few tears alongside millions of other viewers over their separation announcement. We all have our thoughts and opinion as to why the couple is splitting. Some believe it is a publicity stunt; others are just playing the blame game. Hey, whatever floats your boat. I really do not care why, or how or when. It is not my business. However, I can tell you I have a very big problem with a majority of the views blaming it on Kate. I agree, she can be demanding, and she can be a real witch when she wants, but she is the mother of nine children. No that is not a typo I said nine. I as you may have guessed by now I have added Jon to the count. I am a true believer that Kate did what she had to do to keep her family in line. I am tired of people saying how easy she has it because she has help, and they make x amount of dollars per episode.
She is still a mother, she is still in charge of her house. She knows her place. Her place is at home with her children, and on the road when she needs to be. She knows that she has 8 children looking up to her. She has to not only has to provide financially for her children, but she also has to provide emotional stability for them as well. In my opinion, Jon needs to grow up. It is his fault he never grew a set. Someone has to wear the pants in the family, and since he did not step up to the plate, she did.
Hey Jon, get over it. I am so sorry you do not know what you want out of life. I am so sorry you want to run and test the waters elsewhere. I am so sorry that you have decided there is something out there more important than your family. Maybe you should have considered all this before you decided to get married and have kids.
