Every Woman

ANGELOU'S BEST POEM EVER

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..
enough money within her control to move out
and rent a place of her own,
even if she never wants to or needs to...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
something perfect to wear if the employer,
or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
a youth she's content to leave behind....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..
a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to
retelling it in her old age....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....
a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....
a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems,
and a recipe for a meal,
that will make her guests feel honored...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
a feeling of control over her destiny...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to fall in love without losing herself..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to quit a job,
break up with a lover,
and confront a friend without;
ruining the friendship...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK AWAY..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that she can't change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that her childhood may not have been perfect..but it's over...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
what she would and wouldn't do for love or more...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to live alone even if she doesn't like it...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW..
whom she can trust,
whom she can't,
and why she shouldn't take it personally...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
where to go...
be it to her best friend's kitchen table...
or a charming inn in the woods...
when her soul needs soothing...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
what she can and can't accomplish in a day...
a month...and a year...

Ada playing with brother

AdaBelle loves her little brother! Always hugging and kissing him. She thinks he is her baby.
Give me kisses, she says! I wonder what he is thinking right there? Oh No, here comes my drooling sister to give me kisses.

AdaBelle 20 months

I am not Constipated, Dad just scared me.

Here is Little Oscar 4 weeks old. Good looking young man! Do you like my red contact lenes?

Tag- You're it!

Sorry ya'll! Just now figured out this blogger thing! :) And I'm back to work now and have access to the internet. so here goes:

A: Each player has to list 6 facts/habits about themselves
B. At the end of the post, the player tags 3 people and posts their names

1: I am a sucker for reality T.V.: (Amazing Race, Big Brother, Survivor, I Want to Look Like a High School Cheerleader Again, DCC Making the Team, America's Most Smartest Model) Oscar likes to watch some of these with me; not the girly ones though. (He's a tough guy)

2: My biggest habit is twirling/twising my hair. I've done it my whole life and now AdaBelle has started twisting too! I acutally think it's really cute.

3: I love to sleep in. AdaBelle loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and so until this week I would stay in bed while she watched her show and nursed little Oscar and dozed in and out of sleep to "hot dog hot dog hot diggidy dog..." (I don't feel so bad now, knowing Trish does a similar thing)

4: I'm a sucker for kid's/baby clothes. I love to shop for them and get very excited when I get the register and the total is cheaper than my calculations! This is another reason I had to go back to work. I never knew checkbooks talked! :)

5: I love roller coasters! I have a need for speed. Oscar hasn't been but I absolutely adore Sandusky, OH. That was the best vacation ever! The roller coaster coast! I can't wait to go back. The euphoria of racing down a track up to 80 miles an hour -- OH its the BEST!

6: I like going to the chiropractor. After being on bedrest for over 5 months, I had to do something right! well I love being put back in line!! :)
