I love church. Been attending since I was a kid. I was one of those kids that you never had to force to get dressed and ready for church, I’ll just go and embrace the word. But I’ve found myself falling out of the loop quite recently and one man is responsible for it. It was the pastor at the church I had started to attend who while I was breastfeeding my baby, found it appropriate to not only take a gander at my nipples but to talk about how God had delivered him from the spirit of lust. As they say, confession is good for the soul and I acknowledge that and tried to move on conversation wise. Unfortunately this pastor couldn’t get past my breasts. He kept looking and looking and I felt quite uncomfortable about it. Finally, time came for him to leave. At least so I thought. He kept returning saying that he had forgotten his car keys, his jacket and whatever else. “Call me when you want to hang out” he told me finally. I never did because quite frankly a female should have accompanied him. I have since changed my telephone number and cut ties with him.

With the direct selling market at an all-time high, everyone seems to be jumping into the fray to market products through this consultant/ buyer method. New to this is Vista Print, the stationery and business card giant. Interested persons can join the company’s notable styles consultant affiliate program and sell Vista Print’s line of products for a commission. As if Vista Print wasn’t already making mad money.

The cost of babysitting is ridiculously high. No argument there. And with high prices aside, how are we sure that we are getting what we pay for? Well that’s a topic for another day, my real issue is with the woman who posted a vacancy for someone to babysit her child for eight hours of which she would pay $4 an hour. How ridiculous is that? Yes babysitting prices are high but four dollars is an insult. How do these people expect these babysitters to survive on a salary like that? Someone blatantly told the employer that she could hire a crackhead for that price and to that I say it served her right!

Most moms would trade in their 9 -5 jobs for an opportunity to work from home and attend to their kids. With so many scams being infiltrated into the work at home system, one has to be very careful of the jobs that they apply for and which company is legitimate. One company that has been around providing WAH jobs is tjobs.com In business for over 11 years, all it takes to locate a job is $15 and then you will have access to jobs that including writing, typing, web designing etc.

It’s rare that I get out to a restaurant because I love tasting my own food and experimenting in the kitchen, but I took a break from all that and got out to the Outback Steakhouse in my city. I have to say that I would be returning to that restaurant really soon. The service was impeccable, they were even nice to my toddler and the food was the best I’ve tasted in a long time. To top off such a great meal I cheesecake and ice cream and that too was sinfully delectable.

It’s a shame that when we have to send our kids to learning institutions and they have to return home with nothing on their minds but fear for bullies and inevitable fights.
A woman recently told me about her son who had gone to Job Corp to aspire in his education and make himself a better man when some guys who harass and bully him constantly confronted him. Why? Because the boy is said to be cute and he gets a lot of attention from the girls. As bad as this situation is, I don’t blame these boys, they don’t know better. I blame the teachers who I heard do not have a handle on the situation. Things are so bad at the Job Corp that the students are answering the phone. Perhaps the Education board can pay more attention to situations such as this.

It’s hard when you live in an apartment building and have to use the laundry that everybody is using. No, not because most times you go to the room and have to wait your turn to wash because the machines are occupied, but because of what you see when you go there. Last week I saw a tenant washing his sneakers in the washer and I was livid. I wash my baby’s clothes down there. So what does a person do when the landlord would not allow washing machines in the home? Enter the portable washer, a small but durable looking equipment that is capable of washing all your fine things and of course small stuff like baby clothing. The washer looks like an oversized blender but it packs in a job well done. With only two speeds set on it and costing $49, I’ve heard of people who have even washed their linens in this washing. The trick of doing the latter is to wash it one at a time.
