Working from home

I am just thinking about innovative ideas to start a home business. I must say it is pretty challenging and I am so cross with myself for not having come up with an idea. I want to start my own business and I am mentally tired of coming up with ideas and dismissing them for lack of generating any income. I am doing lots of research, reading etc. I guess that once one becomes a mum, priorities change and adjustments have to be made. I can't begin to think of leaving my little angel in a day care now. But while I am at home I feel I need to e doing something to generate income. What to do???

Determination or what?

The picture above shows Chinese children revising for make-or-break exams to get them into the college of their choice. The teenagers were offered intravenous fluids to maintain their health levels as they prepared for June’s National College Entrance Exam, reports in China claimed (Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2140719/Education-bosses-hook-Chinese-high-school-students-IV-drips-energy-boosts-help-graduate.html#ixzz1uTSDqard)

Well, when I was a student, I would stay awake all night reading and revising for my exams. We were never offered anything to boost our energy or health. Some students I know drank loads of coffee to stay awake and I am not sure if that helped. I stayed awake because I was scared of failure. Failure was not an option for me so I put in the hard work. In a way, I love the determination of the students to get to where the want to be but it seems so wrong offering children intravenous fluids to achieve this.

Who do you trust to look after your baby?

Jennifer Mahoney

On the surface, Jennifer Mahoney, 33, looks innocent, sweet and very much like the girl next door but in reality is a monster who abused an innocent 5 year old girl. Jennifer Mahoney is a babysitter and faces 30 years in prison after she admitted broadcasting a sex attack on a 5-year-old girl to other alleged predators using the live video-chat programme Skype on her iPhone.  She pleaded guilty in US District Court Wednesday to the sexual exploitation of a child that took place on at least two separate occasions in her home (Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2142142/Jennifer-Mahoney-Babysitter-admits-sexually-assaulting-girl-5-streaming-live-video-online.html#ixzz1uTI1aHoy).

What a shame!!! My heart goes out to the little girl abused. As a mother, I often ask myself if I could ever bring myself to take my child to a child-minder when I go back to work. I already feel guilty thinking about it. I am at a dilemma here. On one hand, I need to go back to work (I cannot afford not to work) and on the other hand, I want to bring up my baby myself.  With stories like these prevalent, I cannot trust strangers with my baby. For mothers that have gone back to work, how did you cope and get past the trust issues? How did you cope with the guilt (if you had any) of leaving your baby with a child minder? Please share your stories with me. I need to be encouraged!!!

Jamaicans accuse Usain Bolt of suffering from "White woman" complex

Usain Bolt has been accused of suffering from "white woman" Complex. This is because he is dating a white girl. What is "white woman" Complex? As I read the article on this, I found out that they were referring to the fact that some successful black men date only white women. Following the comments on the post, some people stated that some successful black men prefer white women because of some issues that follow black women such as being too 'demanding' and high 'maintenance'. I further read that some black men find light skinned black ladies more attractive than the black skinned ones. The comments further stated that black men are conditioned into thinking that light skinned, mixed race are more attractive than black skinned ladies. I found some of the comments ridiculous. Surely, it is the heart that matters. How well you love each other and how good you treat each other. One questions whether this accusation is racist in the part of blacks who think like this?

Enough!!!

I've had enough of facebook!!!! I am actually thinking of deactivating my account. Apart from my family and just a handful of friends, no one cares or asks after me. I have more than three hundred friends on my friends list, most of them have not even said a word to me and I don't even really know most of the people on there. Some are old school mates, acquaintances etc. I rarely have much in common with a lot of people on there. I stopped adding people I have no clue who they are. For instance, a couple of weeks ago, some girl requested my friendship, I checked out her profile and found out she has more than 1000 friends. If it was before, I would accept the friendship but I asked myself, what does she need my friendship for? She does not know me and I do not know her. She has more than 1000 friends so how can she keep in touch with all of us? I rejected that request. I have no use for facebook now. I dislike the falseness of it all. in fact, it is very boring to me now and I hope in the next few weeks, my account will be deactivated. My mission now is to delete some of my pictures on there and then say bye to facebook for good!!!!

The Munich nymphomaniac

I read this and could not believe what I was reading. A German nymphomaniac was said to have “forced” men to have sex with her. Her latest victim who is of African descent was said to have fought back tears as he recounted the events to police.  He told police that the ordeal was hell and he cannot walk because of it. Apparently, this is not the first man that was forced to have sex with the 47 year old woman. Her first victim Dieter Schulz, 43, met her at a bar. He could not keep up with the lady’s demand and had to escape through the balcony.  Even the police that arrested the lady were invited for a quickie by the woman!!!! They declined!!! The woman has been taken for psychiatric observation.  Wow, how did she manage to have sex more than 8 times without hurting herself? It must have been sore for both the men and her.

The comments I read regarding this incident differed. Some people commented that it is every young man’s dream to meet such a lady. Some commented that a man cannot be raped etc!!! What do you think?
