Hospital Stay.

So,
My youngest bambina was in the hospital for a week!
Mos Def,
one of the longest weeks of my life.
It started with a pimple on
the bambina's chin.
Which turned into what looked like a spider bite.
When the skin around it started to get red and swollen,
i took her to the doctor [Friday].
She was given antibiotics and sent home.
The next day,
She woke up very swollen and the redness was spreading,
i called the doctor.
Her normal pediatrician was off for the weekend,
his partner spoke with me.
He said not too much to worry about.
Around 4:00pm
i called again.
Chaz got up from her nap, and the redness was halfway across her chin and
up across her jaw.
I said we're going to the hospital
and called the doctor.
We waited in the ER for 2.5 hours.
Finally got in the treatment room,
they started an iv with antibiotics.
By 11pm,
i was calling daddy to pick up my big bambina
because the little one was being admitted.
The second day in the hospital and the infection covered
half her chin all the way up behind her ear.

A week of antibiotics, no sleep, and hospital food later,
and we're finally back at the homless shizzle.
Yay for us.
The bambina was diagnosed with "MRSA"
the one thing i was trying sooo
hard to keep her from getting!
Ain't life grand.

Good Boy Gone Bad [pt.2]

I'm sure everyone remembers this photo:



Rihanna's battered face after her "alleged"
fight with Chris Brown.

In a previous blog i wondered about the tattoo on the battered woman's
shoulder.
Well, today i found this picture of Rihanna:
So i'm sadly assuming that the tmz photo really is her.
Sad.
Really.

It 's a fuckin shame that men can get away with whippin a woman's ass,
and us women just take the shit.
And keep going back!
I can't knock ya, Rihanna,
Cause i've been there,
But we as women need to stand up and say,

I'M NOT TAKING THAT SHIT ANYMORE!
It's NEVER OKAY for a man to put his hands on a woman.
not ever.

FCUK U, CUZ i'MMA DO ME!

Yep.
I'm finally saying it.
I've done all i can.
I'm exhausted! [sp?]
I feel dried up,
worn out,
sucked dry,
beaten down,
sad,
sick,
hurting,
FED UP!

With you and ALL your bullshit.
You MAKE ME SICK!
Seriously,
sick to my stomach.
I lied,
YES.
I lied.
ONCE.
You lied tons of times,
Big things small things,
even things that didn't matter,
and i forgave you each and every time.
Swallowed the lies, the hurt, the pain.
I put everyone aside for you,
even myself, my children.
SORRY, STUPID ME.
Cause you never could, never would do the same for me.
Cause the only person u truly care for is
YOURSELF.
You can do watever you like whenever you like,
but if i treat u the same,
we're through!
You call me names,
bitch, hoe, stupid, dumbass...


And now i see the truth of it.
My Eyes are open baby,
and now i see.
God, give me the strength to overcome this as
u have given me to overcome so many
other things.
I know it will hurt,
[it hurts like hell]
But i will make it through.
I guess u were only meant to be in my life
for a seson.

My eyes are open baby,
and now I see.
