I’m so tired, omw!!!
who wants to set me up in holiday accomodation somewhere fancy!
I think it’s yesterday’s heat and my body not being used to being outside anymore!
Aircon you have spoilt me!!!
so now I have swollen hands and feet…also
– I overheard someone tell their friend that I used to be pretty yesterday – that made me sad
– Someone said that Logan dying at two days was good, cause it’s not that bad then – that is just hurtful
–  I’m feeling very why does nothing fit, why oh why!!! – that makes me sad
– A man shouted at me out of his car and hooted for briefly pushing Aidan on his push bike in the street the day before(dog scared us off pavement – towards traffic against pavement) , and it scared Aidan so I had to carry him like a km with bike in other arm – that made me livid
–  My hands and feet are swollen this morning – that annoys me (I know I mentioned it twice)
– I have Monday off – that makes me glad

So apart from this blog right here…I’m sometimes featured elsewhere…most of you know about THESE

But did you know that recently I chatted about comparing myself to other moms…for Parenting Hub

And I wrote about my hair journey for J-Star Blomag

and I made a few new things for BlogShareConnect

BlogShareConnect also interviewed me

So did SAMomBlogs

and Cindy Alfino

 

and this one time I wrote about my trip to Brazil

I also write for our local newspaper that’s how I pay the bills these days but I always keep the self indulgent writing above separate from my work here

Have a good Friday all

 It saddens me, I remember watching these shows growing up and looking up to these men.
 The quintessential father figures who you could always rely on have been shoved off their pedestals and I for one feel let down.
 I’m not naïve, I understand that they are just people, fallible people, but this isn’t some little shoplifting case or a isolated public indecency incident where no one got hurt, this is real. This is protect your children, real.

When Chris Brown beat up Rihanna people were appalled and promptly boycotted his music (until his next single or so). The thing is rappers and hip hop artists aren’t exactly known for supporting women’s rights. They respect their moms who get shout outs at awards shows, but every other female reference is related to getting drunk and shaking it. So it’s not a big stretch that they would disrespect women on a grander scale, yes it’s not all hip hop artists – there are a few good guys out there –  but it’s quite a few and it’s not right.

The shock comes from people like Cosby and Collins , people we have come to expect the moral high ground from.

The shock is so much you find yourself looking for anyway that this is a mistake. The thing is,  Collins is said to have confessed (leaked audio and allegations from ex wife) and there is not much mistaking a confession.

As for Cosby maybe it was all just a misunderstanding. Maybe it’s thirteen individual, detailed, heartbreaking misunderstandings. It’s pretty “he said” ,  “she said” at the moment but let’s be honest the “shes” are outweighing the “hes”.

I guess this is a lesson to us all to be our own moral high ground. Be the role models our kids desperately need and to maybe not trust quite as easily.

And as far as TV father’s go, in my book, Tim Allen is quite literally … The last man standing
