I HATE NEW YORK !!!

WELL WELL WELL , WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE, ITS ME KERRY HERE TO VENT MY FRUSTRATION OF THE DAY!!! TODAY I CRIED MY EYES OUT TO THE POINT WHERE I WAS THROWING UP AFTER ANOTHER SCHOOL I CALLED TOLD ME WE WEREN'T 'ZONED"..... READ ON...... OK SO MY LITTLE CALEB, A BRIGHT, READING, WRITING RISING STAR !!!! IS GRADUATING THIS MONTH AND HAS TO MOVE ON TO KINDERGARDEN IN SEPTEMBER, NOW AFTER APPLYING TO ABOUT 300,000,00 CHARTER SCHOOLS, MY LIL CALEB GOT INTO ZEROOOO ( I WOULD PUT MY CAPLOCK ON NOW FOR EFFECT BUT...) SIMPLY BECAUSE HE DOESNT LIVE IN A CERTAIN AREA AND HIS NAME WASNT PICKED OUT OF A HAT!!! LITERALLY* ....MEANWHILE OTHER CHILDREN HAVE HAD THEIR NAMES PICKED OUT OF 4, 5 AND EVEN 6 HATS. NO PROBLEM. HE CAN STILL GO TO HIS ZONED SCHOOL RIGHT? EXCEPT HIS ZONED SCHOOL HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE ACCORDING TO THE NYC DOE REPORT CARDS. GOING FROM A "B+" TO A "C-". HOW COULD IT GET ANY WORSE YOU ASK? THERE'S A BETTER SCHOOLS ABOUT 4 OR 5 BLOCKS AWAY BUT HE CAN'T GO THERE BECAUSE THAT'S NOT HIS ZONE. WE'RE CLOSE ENOUGH TO BE A PART OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN APTS NEED TO BE SOLD AND RENTS RAISED BUT NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO SHARE SCHOOLS. NEVER MIND THAT THEY HAVE OPEN SEATS AND SHORT OR NO WAITING LISTS. AND STILL WE'VE GOT NO CALLS FROM ANY OF THE CHARTER SCHOOLS SAYING THAT HE'S BEEN AN OPENING. OTHER FAMILIES ARE TAKING THEIR PICK OF SCHOOLS AND WE HAVE NO CHOICE AT ALL. THE SYSTEM JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT. IS HE JUST SUPPOSE TO GO TO A SCHOOL BECAUSE ITS IN HIS ZONE, REGARDLESS OF ITS ABILITY TO ACTUALLY TEACH HIM ANYTHING?
BUT THANKS BE TO GOD WHO ALWAYS PROVIDES WHAT HIS CHILDREN NEED. ON AN OFF CHANCE WE FOUND AN OPENING IN A WHAT SEEMS TO BE GOOD SCHOOL AND NOT TOO FAR AWAY. WE BELIEVE THAT CALEB AND NOAH WILL GROW TO BE GREAT CONTRIBUTORS TO SOCIETY DESPITE WHAT THE SYSTEM HAS PLANNED FOR THEM.

Turning Our House into a Home

i love fresh flowers, although they do die , embracing them in the moment is a beautiful feeling, they smell so fresh and lighten up any dull room, now since my hubby tends to "forget" to buy them for me ... i have to take matters into my own hands hahaha so ive decided to buy fresh flowers for our apartment every 2 weeks ... when i look over at them i SMILE :-)


aren't they lovely???

Battle of the bulge ;-)

hey, today some of my sisters and i started back on our 3 mile walk at Prospect Park . we did this for most of summer 2010 and it really did alot for us, this time however we decided to incorporate prayer into our work out and i must say i feel GREAT!!! God heard and he answered , we did it with no complaints and we know that with God we can shed the pounds we need to and be healthy and live long lives :) i rarely talk about how unhappy i am with my weight but i must be honest with myself and apparently this blog lol and just say I AM UNHAPPY WITH MY WEIGHT, i cant blame my kids anymore because my youngest Noah is almost 2 ... but hey , no time like the present to get on track , no matter how many times i fail or cheat , i'm determined to get right back on track i want to be healthy and feel good about myself! so i'm doing something about it! YOU don't like something FIX it!!! xoxo


ON ANOTHER NOTE LOL, THESE 2 SUGAR PLUMS HAD HOT DOGS B4 THE WALK , I THOUGHT THAT WAS HILARIOUS, THEY DID SAY THEY WORKED OFF THE HOT DOGS DURING THE WALK! GOTTA LOVE SKINNY GIRLS LOL

My boys won't stay out of our bed!!!

So Noah can officially climb out of his crib with noooooo problem!!! And last night he actually woke up and came onto our bed!!!!say it ain't so , he totally got that from big brother Caleb . Caleb wakes up every night at 3am and comes into our room #ughh
