It's been awhile but I am back.....

You know what today is...
Old School Friday....

I used to love this song!
Where have I been?

Where there has been a lot going on here...
Lots of DRAMA...

BUT I AM OKAY!

It's a shame when you can't even send your children outside without it being some bull crap!!!

These kids todays are like little territorial warriors, they want to fight for any little thing and everything, but not HEAD UP, they like to jump you....

Make a long story short, my oldest son got into an argument with a girl that lives across the street, and she called 10 boys to jump my son, and my son hit the biggest one in his mouth and my niece fought the girl, and Baptiste broke it up.....

So every day since Memorial Day, they have been walking by my house and my next door neighbors house making threats, just Wednesday, they let their pit bull out on the kids while they were playing, my youngest two, Jariel 11 1/2 and Jaree 9. I went down there to the house and told them that if that ever happened again and one of my babies would have been hurt, there would be no rock big enough to hide under because I would seriously beat the hell out of whoever sent the dog out.

We call the police and they think it's such a joke!!!! They think it's funny!!!

It has been ongoing since Monday!!!!

And my patience is wearing thin....

These little kids today are nothing but little punks and it makes me sad. It is one of the reasons why, my children still go to school in my prior neighborhood....

I was telling Baptiste, after this year, I seriously need to think about is it really worth it....

Maybe we should consider relocating to another city, because Chicago is getting toooooooo bad!! And even the suburbs are changing....

I want my children to be able to play outside and me not worry that someone is plotting to get them hurt. Because I will KILLL over my babies!!!!

I have been outside with them every day! They don't have to stay inside because of this bullshit! This is where they LIVE TOO!

Anyway, I bought myself a camera....
I just couldn't take it anymore...
I bought a Canon Powershot S5 and so far it's awesome...

Great quality pictures!!!!!!
It is a 8 megapixel 12x optical zoom...

I really want the 40D, but I am just an amateur at this point and I don't know all the ins and outs of a slr....

So this man in the store told me that this camera had the ability to give good quality professional pics without stepping over to a slr.... and I was amazed at all the functions and options it has and I am really happy with it so far...
I have been reading the 7 manuals it came with....LOL
Man this camera can do so much and I just hope I use it's full potential and also I an buy optional lenses for this camera, which is cool....wide angle, telephoto, and close up. It also has a range of filters that can be purchased, so cool!!!! It was only 400 bucks too!!! I got it at tiger direct and I got a 4 gig SDHC for only 20 bucks!!!

I will be posting regularly now....
I just was not in the right frame of mind to blog....

Until next time.
