Where is the BEEF!

Ok, here is my beef for today. A little over a week ago I had a falling out with a member or two of my family and the one thing that is eating at me is this whole idea that because I am a single working mother, I must not be capable of being able to research or even have a mind of my own. And that my mother tells me how to live and how to think.....that is so far from the truth. I love my mother and luckily we share pretty much the same values and so on......but I don't think it is fair to compare what life was like back in the 70's and 80's to today. We have what is called the internet and I have a wealth of information at my finger tips. I also believe that my intelligence has been greatly insulted. I have felt this way before but this was just pure and blatant. Ok, sorry for the downer. Trying to deal with yet another disappointment in life......i'll get over it soon enough. Anyway, I went up to DC this weekend for a class. It is unbelievable that a group of us have to travel to take a class that should be held right here in town. Fortunately the professor is AWESOME and will make up for the horrible tech leadership class I had to take thing summer. That class was disturbing to say the least. Mariah is doing great in school with the exception of not being able to keep her hands to herself. We are working on that......more later.
