No tengo nada para darte

Se dice que, cuando los pastores se alejaron y la quietud volvió, el niño del pesebre levantó la cabeza y miró la puerta entreabierta. Un muchacho joven, tímido, estaba allí, temblando y temeroso.
-Acércate le dijo Jesús ¿Por qué tienes miedo?
-No me atrevo... no tengo nada para darte.
-Me gustaría que me des un regalo dijo el recién nacido.
El pequeño intruso enrojeció de vergüenza y balbuceó:
-De verdad no tengo nada... nada es mío, si tuviera algo, algo mío, te lo daría...
-mira..
Y buscando en los bolsillos de su pantalón andrajoso, sacó una hoja de cuchillo herrumbrada que había encontrado.
-Es todo lo que tengo, si la quieres, te la doy...
-No -contestó Jesús- guárdala. Querría que me dieras otra cosa. Me gustaría
que me hicieras tres regalos.
-Con gusto dijo el muchacho pero... ¿qué?
-Ofréceme el último de tus dibujos.
El chico, cohibido, enrojeció. Se acercó al pesebre y, para impedir que María y José lo oyeran, murmuró algo al oído del Niño Jesús:
-No puedo... mi dibujo es horrible... ¡nadie quiere mirarlo... !
Justamente, por eso lo quiero... siempre tienes que ofrecerme lo que los demás rechazan y lo que no les gusta de ti. Además quisiera que me dieras tu plato.
-Pero... ¡lo rompí esta mañana! tartamudeó el chico.
-Por eso lo quiero... Debes ofrecerme siempre lo que está quebrado en tu vida, yo quiero arreglarlo... Y ahora insistió Jesús repíteme la respuesta que le diste a tus padres cuando te preguntaron como habías roto el plato.
El rostro del muchacho se ensombreció, bajó la cabeza avergonzado y, tristemente, murmuró:
-Les mentí... Dije que el plato se me cayó de las manos, pero no era cierto... ¡estaba enojado y lo tiré con rabia!
Eso es lo que quería oírte decir dijo Jesús, dame siempre lo que hay de malo en tu vida, tus mentiras, tus calumnias, tus cobardías, tus crueldades.
Yo voy a descargarte de ellas... No tienes necesidad de guardarlas...
Quiero que seas feliz y siempre voy a perdonarte tus faltas.

A partir de hoy me gustaría que vinieras todos los días a mi casa.

Gracias por su vicita y espero ser tu Amigo por mucho tiempo, la amistad se encuentra cuanda se da la cenciridad.

I had a blast the past couple weekends :)  I was offered a job there at Wenches at Work.  I think its great to be able to get in, work an hour or two and then play the rest of the day.  I should have thought of finding this kinda work years ago!

The Danger Committee is hilarious this year!  I am still recovering from sore abs and cheeks from laughing so hard this past weekend :)  I also got to meet Jason's son who is only 3 weeks old.  He was so cute!  :)  I love babies!

I also saw a cousin there completely by surprise!  I saw her as I walked the parade of Wenches at Work and found her later as she was heading home.

I saw my good friend Mad Jack there too and got my hugs and giggles :)

Now I'm back to the real world and looking for work so that I can make it through the next year as I plan my daycare out.  

Celebrate!

should be as proud as mine is hehehehe I really do have the best hubby when it comes to having support and a research partner.  Here he is in the most awesome tshirt we got from our new sponsor JMK Genealogy Gifts, (this is a REALLY nice tshirt too)

He says he's going to wear it to both the state AND national archives and family gatherings *sigh* he's so awesome

I am really looking forward to Bill Clinton's speech tonight at the DNC.  That man is so charismatic, you just eat up everything he says.  He could probably even sell me on American cars if he tried.  Anyways, enter "big dog"  as your bonus code for 200 points.  Enjoy

Ok so where did I last leave off at? Thats right I had just told eric about having cancer. He told me everything would be ok not to worry. On monday we went to dicuss my options and the doctors wanted to start me on chemo right away and end with a cycle of radation. I was admitted to the hosptial and had some more lumps remove and started my frist round of chemo. Eric and brittany along with my mom brothers mike and teddy and sister adriana. were there eveyday to see me even my friends jenni and her sister tree where there for me.The frist couple of treatments went well then things went worst. I was in and out of the ER I was in so much pain. I just wanted it to end. I just kept on fighting and it payed off big. I went into remission in Sept of "99". I aslo meet my dad for the frist time since I was five thanks to a letter my moms friend wrote to Montel. Yep I was on Montel and I should have seen it coming but didn't they told me that montel wanted to do and interview with me about my cancer and make a plee to find my dad. As I was doing so guess who stands up? Thats right my DAD was there the whole time. He has been in my life ever since Thank you Montel for making that happen. Ok so Eric and I plan on having a family and its been fours years since cancer but no luck. We go to the doctors for some test and they tell me to come back in a week for the results. While during that week i was feeling kinda a werid so i told the doctor what i was feeling and he wanted to run one more test before he gave me my results. The doctor came back into the room with a bid smile on his face and said I have good news and better new which do you want frist. The good I said well all the test show that the chemo didn't affected your chances like we tought it would so you can still have a baby and the better I asked. Congrates he said your pregant. I couldn't belive it but sure enough we were prego. and in March of 04 we welcome a health baby girl Makayla Patterson but the fun didn't end there cause in Sept of 05 we welcome another baby girl to are family Madison Patterson.( No one ever told me once you have a baby your fertle mertle...lol). We had bought are first house in Oct of 05 and I new one day he would pop the question but never thought it would be after the brith of a new daughter and buying are first. ok so its christmas eve and we are at my moms for the celbration with everyone. And i get this feeling like everyone is talking about me and everytime i go in a differnt room people stop talking i didn't know it then but all of my family knew that when eric and return home he was going to ask me to marry him. So i am inthe house trying to finish up wrapping x-mad gift when eric asked me to come out back for a min. It was almost 12am by the time i go outside. He then takes me by the hand and starts telling me how much he loves me and waht a great mom I am and how he couldn't image his life without me and before I knew it he was down on one knee with a little black box asking me to marry him. Of course I said YES!!! I was sooo happy. But  won't you know it **** happens and his mom gets real sick then my dad has a triple heart bypass and before we could even save up the money for are wedding it already 2008.

I have always enjoyed interviews, for whatever purpose they were.  So, here's an interview question - a classic.  The advantage of answering it here is that we can write to please ourselves rather than please the interviewer.

Question :  What will you be doing in five years time?

You can have a go at the subsidiary questions too, if you like :-

Where will you be doing it?

Who will you be doing it with?

What will be different about it?

It changes so many things and it can also change a person's point of view or actions towards one another. I feel so blessed to be with someone who's so patient. The world needs to be in a state of equillibrium. After the rain, the sky clears and the sun shines. When the sun shines too long, it begins to rain. The world works in circles and can overcome any type of whether. Relationships are very similar to how the world works. Well at least with my relationship it does. I need someone to balance me out and guide me. Moe does a very good job of balancing this relationship. He's my sunny day after a rainstorm. I love him so much and sometimes I feel that I don't tell him that as much as I should. What other word can we use that's stronger than the word love???  I love you lots??? or I love you times a thousand??? hahahah someone needs to come up with a new word! *sigh* I'm just at work missing my baby right now. I saw him early during lunch but that was only 40 minutes! He won't be home til 11:30pm again *sigh* work sucks!

This morning our supervisor announced with "great sadness" that today would be our last day to deliver the weekly Dallas Morning News circulars. (For those not in the Dallas area, the DMN circulars are like ADVOS, but bigger and bulkier. They go out to every address that does not get home delivery of the Dallas Morning News, Dallas' only daily newspaper. As such, many routes have almost 100% full coverage ever Wednesday. See this blog for more information.) The supervisor tried to sound really sad when making the announcement. She noted that this was just another example about how the Internet is killing mail volume and that this was a major loss of revenue.

Were the carriers sad, you ask?

It's not that carriers want to see the USPS lose revenue, but most of the carriers were very pleased with the announcement for the following reasons.

1. The biggest reason is that carriers had to fight tooth and nail with management each week to get approved overtime to deliver the bulky, full-coverage mailings. Management would insist the circulars didn't take any extra time at all to deliver. In reality, it would take up to two extra hours per route to deliver the circulars. On straight park and loop residential routes, it could take as little as 15 minutes extra. But on apartment routes and routes in the ghetto that were designed for normally low volume, it could take from 30 minutes to 2 hours to deliver. Management wouldn't usually approve this full coverage time, and if they did it was after much arguing back and forth. As a result, when informed of the loss of the weekly circulars, the carriers stated: "Hey, management didn't count it anyway since it was a third bundle, so if it's not counted it's not a loss. Now, carriers are glad they'll have one less headache a week with the supervisors.

2. Some carriers bluntly stated that it was junk and the customers didn't want it anyway.

3. One carrier said the move would save a lot of trees.

4. Some carriers said this was an opportunity for management to cut overtime hours.

I write these reasons to make a couple of points. With volume falling, everyone at the USPS needs to be on the same page to craft solutions to falling volumes. As it is now, there is much hostility between craft and management that prevents different groups from having common goals and common concerns.

Another point is that in my experience there was about one person on my entire route of more than 600 stops that actually liked the DMN mailing. For many others, the circular incited hostility, calling the circulars junk. At my apartments, most went in the trash immediately after people checked their boxes. I say this because the USPS needs to transform and become more relevant. It won't be relevant if all people get are credit card solicitations and circulars that only piss people off. I don't see the loss of the DMN as a negative, but a chance to make the mail more relevant. I believe there is great opportunity for the USPS to facilitate important transactions through the mail, including fulfilling orders and other dealings from the Interent. The USPS has a complete nationwide infrastructure with a monopoly that gives it many advantages over the UPS, FedEx and others. If we can't take advantage of that, by offering competitive pricing and fast service for delivering important documents and bills, Internet orders, prescriptions, NetFlix, etc. then we don't deserve to survive. But to survive, we need to become nimble, not burdened by bulk mailings that get in the way of delivering relevant materials.

lost myself earlier in a video of a few scenes from Gandhi set to Tool's The Pot. man. i do love that song. many times in my adult life, Tool's songs will strike a chord in my heart and put a hold on me. the guy who made the video i was watching, did a fantastic editing job, made me want to see Gandhi again. 

there have been more than a few movies id like to re-watch lately. i saw a lot of movies when i was a teenager, that i need to revisit. today would have been a great day to pop in one and get lost in it.

i did laundry, and dishes, and helped connie all day with her math. it kills me to hear and see her struggle so with math, it was my favorite subject, always. i was very good at math, from a young age. i found the numbers very finite, where other subjects always seemed to have ambiguous answers, math was very easily proven wrong or right, history was my faulty subject, there were always multiple answers and i hated it.

connie just wells into tears when faced with pages of math problems, im trying all sorts of tricks to make the page less daunting. she'll be ok, i suspect some of this is just a phase.

my husband woke before me, and was in a really foul mood. he agreed he woke up aggravated, and never did apologize for jumping down everyones throat. eventually he would leave and go buy cigarettes (!!) and told me that he borrowed change off everyone, his thinking was that no one would ask for 50 or 75 cents to be paid back. i felt so disgusted with him at that comment.

i thanked robin out loud for not lending him money yesterday, she doesnt fully understand where i am coming from, but she does respect that i am trying to make this man understand the impact of his inactions. we are still without bread. i didnt even bother to ask him to go to the store, im not giving him free rein and my debit card. i didnt push for him to go to the free bread people either.

i put my head down, and i worked.

i can remember my dad when i was pregnant with susan, and very unhappy with what was happening in my marriage at that time, he said to me.

"just put your head down and do your work, and things will work themselves out. they always do, just watch."  and he was right. when times got tough, i would put my head down and work, and do what i had to do, and damn sure, things would work themselves out. the only thing that didnt apply to was my marriage, because no matter how hard i worked i couldnt fix that. 

im not trying to fix this marriage either. the marriage isnt broken, bent maybe, but not broken, not like my first one. i am disheartened by people around me who have vehicles they could loan or sell, but choose not to, while i have nothing but my 2 legs. my husband has developed a newly healthy sense of maintenance for his motorcycle, which is a very, VERY good thing. it finally cha-chinged in his
