hMM...

That right there in my title is exactly how my life feels right now, backwards, lower case first? I am in a whirlwind of nothingness yet i feel as if i am so busy i can barely stand when i finally walk in the door at the ungodly hour of 4pm... how reta (scratch that) stupid is that?I want nothing more than to crawl into bed and never get back out. Hubby comes to bed every night, makes mad mattress mambo then sleeps then leaves me alone till the next night. Anyone ever feel this way? I know there is no logical reason for me to be stressed out, everything is going really well right now, we are finally able to make the mortgage payment and the car payments and cover utilities it rocks but damn, its hard when the kids or me even wants to go to dinner and my wallet has enough money in it for gas smokes and a couple cans of Red bull to get me to the next paycheck. I have so many random things swirling around right now it is hard to get one coherent sentence on the screen. i am worried that my ex found this site, his new wife, my ex-bestie said something the other day that she could have ONLY gotten here. i know i haven't been around alot but the topic of conversation was one of the last serious posts that i wrote before my totally unintended sabbatical. I think i am going to star a new site. i will let those of you who still actually care have the address if you e-mail me at the Galexygirl email. See ya on the Flip!

SB1070 verses Cultural studies!

I have been avoiding this topic for a while now, but the time has come that I need to say it and then I'm not talking about it again. I live in Tucson, and the issues we have here with immigrants are not the color of someone's skin, it's that the people who come across the border and take our jobs and fill up our schools have NO interest in trying to become legal citizens. You see, if they were to become legal, they would then be responsible for paying higher state taxes and wouldn't be able to send money back to Mexico to their relatives there. It has gotten so bad that you almost have to be bi-lingual to get a job flipping burgers at McDonald's. I can see both sides of the story and can understand how people could see this as racist, but there are two sides to every coin. I fully agree that cancelling the cultural studies programs in high schools is a bad thing. If my young children grow up and want to study other cultures I firmly believe that should be an available choice for them. I hope you don't think I am angry, I am just very passionate about this subject and hate that there are so many un-informed people out there(not you) that are complaining so loud that the whole country can hear. I love your stories by the way, please tell us more about when you first came to America and we working for the wealthy families and their children!
