WANTED: Married Men

Back in the day it was light skinned men. Everybody wanted a yellow bone brotha. Then once those were taken the emergence of dark skinned men came onto the scene. Once women got sick of men they went to women (remember, "my girl has a girlfriend"??). Today, it seems that married men are on the top of a single woman's "must have" list and for the love of life I can't understand why? What is it about married men that intrigues women to go after them? Why cant they stay away from someone who vowed to be with their significant other for life?

As a wife, this new "fad" touches me to the core. What's the need to attract someones husband? NOT boyfriend, not baby daddy, but HUSBAND? How inconsiderate, lowdown, and dirty. Is it the thrill of the chase? Is it because senseless broads want a hubby? Drop comments when I'm done and let me know the reasoning.... if any.

Let's explore some married man lovers, shall we? Up first, Leann Rimes. Leann is a cute country girl with a hell of a voice. BUT Leann left her husband for another woman's husband after they fell in love on a made for TV movie set. Now this movie they made took 4 months to shoot (I googled it) so you mean to tell me she fell in love in 4 months and was in enough love that the two of them ended their marriages?! Leann is quoted as saying she has "no regrets" for how her relationship has played out. Wow.

Now, of all the people to take someones husband you never ever ever thought it would be Alicia Keys huh? Well color us crazy but Keys hooked up with Swizz Beatz while the man was still legally married. Then once Beatz handled his business and divorced his ex-wife he quickly and suddenly wifed up A. Keys and they had a baby (damn a healing period). I wonder if Alicia feels a little guilty for having a hand in ending a marriage?

 Rolling my eyes and moving on to the next one (ha! No Swizz Beatz pun intended) how about Leah from Bad Girl's Club Miami. If you aren't familiar with BGC its like the Real World meets Mean Girls meets Player's Club (times 10). Leah is in a relationship with a married man. This man was even seen on the show (bold ass dude). But riddle me this, how come Leah got enraged when Brandi called her out for messing with married men? She packed her stuff and moved out of the room and acted like the girl was lying and lets face it, she got called out! My first High-five award goes to Brandi!!

Finally, my last and most notable married man lover is....... Fantasia Barrino. Oh Tasia c'mon girl! Homeboy worked at the local T-mobile for Pete's sake. I'm not going to go in on Tasia because she has suffered enough. I can honestly say I have little remorse for Tasia because I don't think she was in her right mind when she attempted to take her life. She has a young daughter who should have been her main priority not the married man or the media circus that haunted her. HOWEVER, I am giving my second "high-five" award to the man's wife! This women took it upon herself to sue Tasia for breaking up her marriage. Now while there is co-blame here at least she took a stand on something that was wrong. (Only 7 states have this law North Carolina, Illinois, New Mexico, South Carolina, Utah, South Dakota, and Hawaii).

So folks to wrap this up and before I get a ton of messages (I would like a ton of messages on this to be honest) the men were wrong as well. BUT men with wives are off limits. Sometimes going down this route can lead to nothing but trouble. -D

You recalled teething tablets? Rat bastards!

A few months ago, my fave pediatrician said two words. Wait, let's back up a bit. He was my pediatrician. He was my family's pediatrician. I went to this man until I had to go to the gyno. So I trust anything he says. He said, "She's teething!" Long story short, she was slightly, not really, only kinda teething. And the teething tablets helped a bit. They were tiny meltable miracles! Fast forward a few months and we're in the War against Teething!!!! (Yes, very similar to the war against terrorism) And the FRIGGIN TEETHING TABLETS HAVE BEEN RECALLED! I'm exhausted and stressed. My child is miserable! I NEED THOSE TABLETS FROM THE KIDDIE DRUG PEOPLE!!! I've gotta go..If they recall Moscato, I'm gonna be on the news!

Hide Ya Kids, Hide Ya Wife..... Hide the IGNORANCE

On a crisp autumn evening a few weeks ago I was at home watching the BET Hip Hop Awards when all of a sudden and to my surprise a 20-something male with a red bandanna began singing (in auto-tune the sound track of ignorance mind you),"Hide ya kids, hide ya wife, hide ya husband toooo."
 "What the Hell!" I said to myself under my breath as I looked to me left and my hubby was giggling with amusement. As the madness continued I just shook my head as the "Poindexter" white boy at the keyboard ended this dreadful prelude with a solo. I had to crack open my laptop to find out who and what the heck I just watched.

For those of you who were under the rock with me his name is Antoine Dodson. The background behind this display is that his sister was attacked by a would be rapist in their apartment. To make a short story even shorter, the local media came out and interviewed Dodson and his sister and what I had just witnessed was a mockery of that interview. As funny as it may be, what would normally be taken as a serious situation just turned into an ignorant display of jackassism (yea I made that word up).



In all fairness Antoine was serious during the interview but, once folks began to chuckle Antoine said "screw this" and began singing and dancing around on TV like a modern day "Bojangles". Therefore the seriousness of the interview got shot to shit  and now he's a You-Tube sensation (wth?!) If Antoine would have done his song and dance and afterward immediately addressed the seriousness of rape and home invasions, it probably would of made his 5 mins more meaningful. So in the long run ignorance is bliss homey thanks for the laughs!

Run and tell that, run and tell that!   -D 

Handmade Halloween

So at the last minute it was decided that my daughter, Muffin, would be a Disney princess. *rolling my eyes slightly* I’m the DIY queen, but I decided to save my brain cells for later on in life. Ya know, for the years that she can actually eat the candy. So her dad decided he wanted her to be said princess. Ahh the joys of co-parenting. *rolling my eyes slightly again*

Did I know that she would need a Halloween bucket? Of course. Did I pay attention to the fully stocked shelves in Wal-Mart and grab one weeks ago? No. Did I wake up Sunday morning and do a mad dash to the Dollar Tree, Target, and Wal-Mart? Yes. Let me tell ya..it wasn’t pretty. Learn from my mistakes! I drove ALL the way across to Make Me Curse Every Two Feet Because of The Stupid Construction RD. (You don’t know where that is, but that’s what I’ve named the road) Only to discover that THERE WERE NO BUCKETS! Anywhere! Okay, so I saw 4 navy *shiver* dented buckets at Wal-Mart. Who wants a navy bucket for Halloween?! Surely not me, I mean, Muffin. There were a couple of overly common orange ones in Target, but that’s not the point. I wanted, and would have a pink one. Am I slightly obsessed with this..ehh..just mind your business!

Ok, so it’s crunch time! What can I do!? Now I’d like to take a moment to thank my mom, for everything she ever did for me! This must be payback for telling her about things the night before. *insert aggravated sigh* We had an event to go to at 5:00, so I began to channel my inner Martha Stewart and decided to make her one. I remembered that I had some pink petals at home. Where? Had no idea. Just prayed that I would find them. I also vaguely remember a $1 Hello Kitty shopping bag somewhere as well. No.. I umm, didn’t know where that was either. But anyway…a couple of petals, and a few glue experiments later..we have a trick or treat bag fit for a queen, I mean.. Muffin Disney princess!

There is a picture of said purse, but right now I have a teething issue to deal with. Fun times. I'll post it one day when I find some extra free time lying around somewhere!

And don’t judge me..you wait until the last minute to do stuff for your kid too! Don’t lie! You KNOW you do!

Get to know us..if you aren't afraid!

Once Upon a Time...

In a land far, far away, there lived two college students. We met, and it was as if we had one mind and two bodies! We were both editors of a little college newspaper at Prairie View A&M University, called The Panther. Believe us, it was fun times! So 3 kids, a marriage, a divorce and many moves later, we decided that we didn't want all this talent to go to waste. We decided that we needed an outlet to say whatever we'd like, whenever we wanted. Which brings us to this blog that you're reading now, which you'll share with all your friends! (Pretty please?!)  Here we'll discuss any and everything. Politics, entertainment, parenting, relationships...you'll find just about anything. Most of us women grew up thinking we'd live a fairy tale life, and life happily ever after. Yeah...that just doesn't happen. Like many of you, we're finding our own way through the enchanted forest. So we'll share our stories about the wicked witch at Wal mart, and other failed fairy tale moments. Enjoy and Follow!
