How does one choose their family values? What do you think makes somone talk the way they do or discipline their children the way they do?
I ask for advice on certain parenting topics all the time but I wonder what makes one advice "better" than the other? How do you compromise with your significant other on parenting aspects that differ from theirs? As a social worker would we deal with these kinds of issues? I think we would.

week 3
Living in a community where its common for many of our peers to live at home with their parents and have no responsibilities beyond getting to their part time J.O.B. (just over broke). I wonder what does it take and what should push some one to better themselves into having a career, going to school, or both? Does being "young and stupid" sound fun? sure Does having a steady income with my own home/apartment sound more appealing? You betcha!
I guess I just wonder at what point do parents step back and make rules for their children and their future?

week 1 spring 2013
Sleep. So important yet we take it for granted. Just a little thought.=]
School started Tuesday and with the new moodle it was off to a rough start, I'm still missing 2 classes but hopefully they'll be up soon.
Ethan, my 3 year old, also started his first day of preschool Tuesday. HOW EXCITING!!!! It's been a rough week but were hanging in.=]

week 13
We moved this week...BLAH!!!!!! While I am SO thankful to my in-laws for letting us stay with them along with take over their garage with our things I am missing MY home. Its difficult to go from doing our "own" thing to having others in the house...or better yet us in their home. I have a BIG problem with change. I hope it gets better once we get into our routine.
SO week 13...we are ALMOST DONE!!!!!=]
"Write a brief blog reflecting your own thought process and strategies and exploring how that might be different from others (or the same). How will it benefit you in reaching your readers? Or challenge you? If you are trying to reach readers from a specific culture, how might you alter the way you share your message?"
I am a little scatter brained when it comes to my thought process. I have a little saying I usually say when I've made a comment and get that "WHAT???" look from people: "It sounded good in my head."
I have TONS of thoughts that are in there and sometimes ok most of the time its hard for me to put them in order and S.L.O.W. down. We think I have ADHD. I have a very very very difficult time staying on task and often trail off and have to come back. I think I need to learn to slow down and take one thing on at a time so I can relate to my readers a more. I am pretty open to hearing new strategies and ways of doing things so people from different cultures are encouraged to give me insight into how I could do things differently.

Life in SALINAS
Let me post you some links from just this past week of things that were on the news just for SALINAS not necessarily things going on in towns near, then I will go on with my rant:

OK so this is all just since Sunday the 28th. I chose to highlight one for you(I HOPE YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE THE LINKS).
The one I highlighted was an attempted homicide. This is the street NEXT to mine, the ONLY thing that separates the two streets is an empty lot that we play with my son in and a very small motel that is frequented by drug dealers/addicts and prostitutes. We live right off of north main street and the freeway off ramp.
My son had been in bed for a while, I was just starting to fall asleep and my boyfriend was asleep. I heard sirens but they had been going off all evening. I heard a siren and then skidding and then lights were blinding me while I was in bed. I jumped up and was praying they weren't having another high speed chase. Oh I was wrong it was WORSE. By the time I had jumped up the street was already COVERED by the whole freaking Salinas Police force.They proceeded to block off the freeway offramp and redirect cars to turn around and go the other way(down a one way street) to get away from the crime scene. We watched for a good hour through the windows, behind our locked doors and windows with the alarm system on, that's a whole other story! We watched the police search our street and backyards and watched as 3 ambulance came down the road. Turns out it was 3 people shot, one was a 4 month pregnant woman. I know OF the people who were shot and they do run with a gang affiliates so as of now I'm not surprised it happened. I couldn't sleep AT ALL that night, thankfully I didn't work the next morning. I was a MESS! I was crying off and on and finally asked my boyfriend can we just move back to your parents house(in a different town that has had 1 shooting in the last 10 years. Anyway the shooting I wrote about a month or so ago that my son and I witnessed was a tough call and I wanted to move. THIS one was the deal breaker! We gave our 30 days notice and will be moving back in with my in-laws by Dec 1st.
I feel so anxious!!!! I am 8 months pregnant, we have finals coming up, I HAVE to move, my dog will have to be an outside dog=[& the drive is over an hour to work both ways.
Trying to stay positive though! It will help with saving money, my son will be able to see his grandparents more, my new baby will be able to know his grandparents like Ethan does, and I will have more help available to me,
