Life on the road " Pit Bulls"

 We are the proud owners of an American Pit Bull and her name is "Monet" . She is a loving, sweet and loyal pet. She loves attention from people and doesn't have a mean bone in her body. I dislike it when people have construed ideas of what pit bulls are like. I know that many are scared of this breed of animal, but pit bulls that are raised as  domesticated animals are very much like any other dog. Unfortunately, Pit bulls have gotten a bad rap over the years, from people who have raise them to fight in dog fights. We have had the hardest time trying to find a permanent place to stay because of this bad rap that pit bulls have. Luckily, hotels don't have breed restrictions and allow any animal to stay in their establishments. While staying in a hotel has been fun, we would desperately like to find an apartment or house while my husband is at this job.
 We are suppose to be staying here in Michigan for over a year or longer. We have been here at the hotel for a little over two months. It's getting old not having a full size kitchen and a separate bedroom for my son. I wish people would get to know my dog ,before making an assumption based on breed. I know I can't be the only one with this kind of problem. I wish there was no such thing as dog fighting or animal cruelty in the world. We love our dog like she is our daughter and life wouldn't be the same without her. My husband says if he can't take his dog on the road with him to where he has to travel to to work, he would quit his job. Just like people, all dogs should be treated equally!

Dead Beat Dad

My son just turned 12 this past Monday and it's a real shame that his biological father has never sent him a birthday card, Christmas gift, or Child Support. Not even a simple Phone call. Austin's biological father hasn't seen him since he was 9 mths old. I wish I could fixed this for my son, because I know he thinks about why his real father doesn't want nothing to do with him. Why can't dead beat dad's see want effect there non-existence has on a child. Just a simple gift or phone call would make my child feel special and like his biological father knows he exist. What's even worse is that the only contact we had from his real father is to request that he gives his rights up as his father. Child Support Enforcement is in the State of Florida and he is currently on probation with the State of Florida, but the State of Florida cannot collect a simple Court Ordered Support amount of a whopping 29.00 a week. His biological father has been on probation for over two years now. Something is definitely wrong with this picture. We as a society, should change the way the Child Support Enforcement is governed. Our children deserve better than this! Please tell me if you have similar problems or concerns. Maybe, together we can be heard!

Life on the road " The Blah's"

Sometimes a person who lives in a hotel day in and day out can get the case of the blah's. Today that person is me. It's just been one of those days where I feel lonely and miss my family and friends. There's only so much you can do when u live in a hotel. I don't have my car up here right now, but it won't be long. Austin and I will be heading home to Pensacola, Fl. in August. It will be Austin's first flight ever. He is a little scared of heights, but he'll just have to suck it up! We will be flying home to stay for two weeks and then, driving my car back up to Michigan. We will be stopping to stay the night in Alabaster,Al. to see my two older boys. The next day we will be driving for twelve hours to Michigan. I am so excited and can't wait to go home to p'cola. August can't get here fast enough!

Life on the road "Cont. to should I tell the truth story"

 Well, this is a continuance to the blog I wrote previously titled " Should I tell the truth or not" My friend that I told the truth about her boyfriend cheating on her, She is faced with another delima now. The girl in which her boyfriend was having the affair with, has annoucned that she is pregnant. Wow! I had a feeling this would happen. I tried to tell him to be careful about sleeping with this girl. I told him that she was the type that was looking for a way out of her messed up relationship with her own husband. So his cheating doesn't only affect his own relationship with his girlfriend " my friend", it also affect another family. I hope my husband's co-worker has learned his lesson on the affects cheating will bring to a relationship or family. One can only hope that all parties can resolve this issue in a civil manner for the two children already involved and the one that may soon be involved in 9mths or so.
