My Superstar Student

So this is the last week of school for my son and he was the superstar student last week. For Monday he had to fill in this poster board that was all about him: his favorite color, food to eat, etc. Tuesday, he brought in his favorite toy to show the class and Wednesday was his favorite book. Then, on Thursday I had to send in a parent letter or poem about him. It could be a funny or special story about him, pictures or a poem. Per his request (he's just like me in that aspect), I wrote a poem with his name as the focus point. Want to hear it, hear it go.

Christopher is my first born child

And he's so special to me.

Keep listening on to my poem 

And you too will see.

C is for creative, he loves to build with his hands.

H is for handsome, his smile is so grand.

R is for responsible, he always does his home work.

I is for imaginative, he has the best looking artwork.

S is for super, he loves to have super hero fun.

T is for taste buds, he also loves to eat honey buns.

O is for obedient, I rarely have to say something twice.

P is for peaceful, he's always so polite.

H is for happy, he is such a happy kid.

E is for entertaining, always showing me something new he did.

R is for radioactive, I only chose this word because,

With all the great things he already is, it would be kinda cool if he was.

He said the class enjoyed it and laughed at the honey bun part, and the line about being radioactive. It was fun for me too. I got to flex my poetry skills and write about one of my favorite things in the world- my kids. Until next time.

Forever loving my B.A.D.D. Kids!

Love and Marriage: Don't Settle for Trophy Wife

I have re-written this post several times because I have been trying to find the right way to say what I wanted to say. And it hit me the other morning listening to entertainment news on my drive in to work. If you are a fan of Real Housewives of Atlanta (as I am) than you will know the newest cast member Porsha Stewart and her Husband Cordell and the drama they are going thru. To get you up to speed, Cordell is an ex-NFL pro and Porsha who's money situation is a bit shaky (she made herself out to be a socialite due to her late Grandfather's long standing foundation, yet she is staying with her moms since Cordell essentially put her out). They were married about a year (2011) before they decided to join the Real Housewives franchise and air all their laundry- and let's face it dirty laundry gets better ratings. Get all the juicy details here.

So the gist is- she wanted to have a baby and a career and he wasn't having it. This argument played out in front of millions and he came off very controlling then, and throughout the season and says he didn't like how he was being portrayed so he told her she was not to return the next season. Word on the street is that she agreed, but soon after went back to the negotiation table. He got pissed and she had to find out thru the media that he had filed for divorce. Now, it's been about 3 months since that bit of news and while there was some word that they were trying to reconcile, it was reported the other day that he locked her out the house and said he will not be responsible for her financial troubles. Really dude?!
