Long Day in Autumn

Without a doubt or hesitation, Autumn is my favorite season. The best time of year, but also the busiest time of the year for me. I've been blogging everyday, but yesterday, I was soooooooo tired. I had such a long day. It went something like this:

Dropped my son off to school.
Proceeded to take my two little girls to their Dentist appointment.
Got off the bus 10 blocks too far
Caught the bus back the other way.
9:45am, we still made it in time (Whew!)
1:00pm, made it home.
Gave the girls lunch, set them up with a movie, turned on my computer and started work.
5:30pm time for a quick dinner.
6:00pm, made it to Back to School Night.
8:00pm, made it home with just enough time to get the kids ready for bed.
9:00pm-whenever I feel asleep, I was trying to clean up and chill.

I didn't get the chill time I was looking. I didn't get a chance to blog all day yesterday and I missed all my shows on CNN. But I did gather the following info.

Washington Mutual made history by becoming the largest bank failure ever and it was sold to JP Morgan Chase.
The debate is still hanging in the air. No one knows if McCain will show. Obama is still going.
The big bailout, remains uncompromised.

I feel asleep last night but I woke up at some point and AC 360 was on CNN. I saw snippets of Palin's interview with Couric and some other recent clips. She didn't look like the confident strong woman she was when she first accepted McCain's offer to be his running mate. She looked and sounded unsure of herself and nervous. I felt bad for her and I would much rather see the spunky, confident, strong Palin that started out. (This doesn't mean I am changing my vote or that I would even consider voting for her, just that I am a woman and I care about other women). Anyway, there are a bunch of videos on YouTube about it if you want to see for yourself.

TGIF- Today, I plan to relax, hopefully I get that accomplished.

A Weak Man Hates Anything that Challenges Him to Be Better

We all come across weak men who blame others for their shortcomings. These men struggle with accountability and reject anything that challenges them to be better. In essence, they are narcissistic and self-centered. It is not easy to deal with such men, especially if you are in a relationship with them. Weak men often have fragile egos, and anything that threatens their fragile sense of self is perceived as a threat. We have to understand that these men are not secure within themselves, and they rely on external validation to feel good about themselves. Therefore, when you try to challenge them to be better, they feel like you are attacking them, and they become defensive. They cannot handle criticism, and they struggle with personal growth. One of the reasons why weak men struggle with personal growth is that they are afraid of change. They are comfortable in their current ways, and they are not willing to step out of their comfort zones. They fear the unknown, and they do not want to

Dating After 40: Why You Deserve a Man Who's Done the Work

Women in their 40s should have a different outlook on dating than those in their younger years. As we age, our priorities should change. What once seemed like an exciting project or a new endeavor may now feel like a waste of time. We reach a point where we no longer have time for "projects." And that includes men who don't have their shit together. A man must be stable, both financially and emotionally.

When He Wants Your Body and Not Your Heart

He'll initiate physical contact with the sole purpose of getting you into bed. You'll notice that his hand on your thigh or your shoulder will linger longer than necessary. If you're not comfortable with this type of physical contact, it's best to set boundaries with him sooner rather than later.

Three Reasons He Takes You For Granted: Understanding His Mindset

Sometimes we often find ourselves in situations where we feel undervalued by our significant other. We give all our love, care, and attention to make our partner happy, but sometimes, they don't reciprocate our efforts. It can be a frustrating and hurtful experience, leaving us feeling unappreciated and unwanted. But why does this happen? Why do some men take their partners for granted? Let's explore three common reasons why this could be happening and what we can do about it. Photo by Alex Green His value system makes him ignorant to your value. One of the main reasons why men take their partners for granted is that their value system differs from ours. For them, emotional support, care, and attention may not hold the same importance as it does for us. They may prioritize other aspects of life, such as their career, hobbies, or friends. They may not realize the effort that goes into maintaining a healthy relationship and undervalue the importance of emotional support. This cou
