Good Evening

Well it is now evening and I am settling in. I have had an eventful day. I went walking this morning, then came home and ate lunch. Abe and I then went to buy a gun for his job and came home and ate dinner. By that time it was six o'clock. Then I went to do some laundry and came home. I am pooped. I am ready for bed. That is soon as Abe goes to work. I love him but he gets on my nerves. Its like calgon take me away.

Get this, I am laid off from my job and loving it. Do I miss work? NO! I wish I never had to work again. I love being a stay at home girlfriend. But I do not have money to do that, no big inheritance coming, didn't win the lottery and quite frankly I am to lazy to work 2 or 3 jobs. I was the police until politricks came along and snatched what I worked so hard for away. Now before you say....oh yea right, there is a small town called Ecorse Michigan that is being run by a tyrant and his regime that he has set in place to do his will. Sounds like something out of a movie huh? Well it could be. This man has single handily fired or forced out 15 officers, several city workers and at least 5- 6 firemen since 2003 when he took office. He had an old vendetta from when he was last mayor in the 80's. He came in with a hit list and started hacking people off at the neck as so to speak. Well he did not know me, but I was expendable because I was on probation. He wanted to create his own army. Well he tried, except no one has stayed long enough to call Ecorse home. NO one stays for more then a year before they figure out what is going on and they get the hell out of there.

Well now it is election time again and the mayor has lost his mind and his credibility. He has been on the news constantly over the last few months for every thing. He and the city are being sued for duping contract workers hired by the city and then firing them, turning around and hiring convicted felons to do the job and who gets a kickback? The mayor and some of his regime aka: the city council. He had to admit on the news and in court that he had three social security numbers and two alias's. He said he got them when he was young and wanted to join the carnival with out anyone knowing. The former city attorney testified in court that he assisted the mayor in getting those ss#'s and alias a couple of years ago. HMMMMMMMMM.....

So you see, not every thing is as they seem.......until tomarrow.

Good Morning

I went for a walk in stead of a run. I will run tonight. Why? Believe it or not it was because of my shoes. They were to big and my feet were sliding all around. They hurt so bad before I even finished that I only did 1 1/2 miles. After the first mile I was tempted to quit but I said to my self, keep going another round. I made it half way around and had to stop. My feet were throbbing. OUCH! But that is ok because I will go again tonight and run.

Haaa haaaaaaa

I just had a normal day...nothing to big. Tomorrow I will try to get out early and go running and then do laundry. I will go walking at the end of the day again for some exercise. Otherwise, I will post again tomorrow. I have these black and white photos on my blog. I love black and white photos. I love the places in the photos. I would love to visit these places one day. I think it would be so wonderful....that is a dream of mine.

Today was a big day for me

I have another blog which is about domestic violence and my experiences with it. Since 2003 I have had a PPO out against a monster named Jeff. In short he once got out of prison and located me and was rearrested, after I took a shot at him with a gun, and re incarcerated for another three years for Aggravated Stalking. Today he was released and a flood of emotions tackled me. The fear of his promise all those years ago to kill me if I caused him to go back to prison. I have a PPO against him, but we all know that is not a magic force field to protect my life. It is just a piece of paper that can help jail him for a violation in he goes against the signed court order. I decided not to let him keep me a prisoner in my own home. He doesn't know where I live as far as I know. When I leave the house I am armed with a PPO and some extra protection. I am terrified of what he will do if he catches up with me. Will I live to see next year?

Why would the State of Michigan release a violent offender that has escalated in his criminal behavior since he was a young teen. He was, according to the parole board member that I met with, diagnosed with a mental illness while in prison. That was not surprise to me. Anyway.......the best thing is that the love of my life is standing by my side and that means the world to me. My son is doing well and moving on. I am so proud of him. These two men mean so much to me. I am so grateful. I am truly blessed.

Goodevening

I have been exercising twice a day three times a week and once a day the other two. Two of the days I just take off of exercise all together. In January I had my TSH levels tested and found out that my thyroid levels were very, very high (7.32) which meant my thyroid was severely under active. So low that I was gaining 10 pounds every other month. I got on the medication and had to have it increased once. That was good news. Finally my body adjusted to the hormone and I stopped gaining the weight. I got up to a whopping 215 pounds. That is a lot on my 5'3 frame.

Well the weight is going down slowly but surely. I am below the 200 mark now. I am enjoying it. Watching the weight melt off that is. I still have at least 50 pounds to loose. Ultimately even 60 in the end.

With each pound I feel more and more confident. I can't wait to get to my goal. I even have started running consistently for a change. I hate running. I used to hate running that is. Once I start I feel good about it and in the end I feel even better because I challenged myself. That's what feels good, to know that I challenged myself and I succeeded.

This last check I went and bought a couple of sexy nighty's from Priscilla's. They are to small right now, however, there is a purpose for that. They are my goal to loose weight and fit into them and look good. Well that is just an update.

My boo and I are doing well. I love him so much. We have good days and bad days just like anyone, but in the end........we are us and we are in love!!!!!!!

Things are really good!!

I just want to say that since I started this blog things have finally started to look up for me. My boyfriend and I are living together and we are happy. He is the love of my life and I thank God every day for him. I have a full time job with benefits and my son has gone back to school and has a job. Life is good when you make the right choices and live life honestly.

Things are getting hot!!!!

After three years that nasty Mayor of Ecorse Michigan may be getting what he deserves. He and that coward of a police chief have taken the careers and lively hood of so many officers and fire fighters and other city workers over the past four years. Now it is his turn to suffer. I have to tell you all it felt great to know that only 4 weeks ago Channel 7 news showed up at a city council meeting and asked the mayor (in front of the council and citizens) if he could explain why he had two alias's and three social security numbers. The only thing you saw was the back of his cheap toupee as he fled out the door near his seat. No one saw him for 14 days. It felt even better when Channel 2 showed up at last nights city council meeting trying to do the same. The mayor gave them the slip again by ducking into the K9 officers car. I say that mayor can run, he can hide.....but the law will catch up with him. This mayor is as corrupt as they come. I believe the three social security numbers are the least of his problems. It may be what he did under those alias's that is more important. Stay tuned........

It has been so long

It is now two years later since I started this blogger. I have come a long way. I am now living with my boyfriend and we have worked out so much. It is all a work in progress, however, he has been wonderful. I am happy. It has been so long.

Just found out that my thyroid is underactive. That would explain the copias amount of weight gain in the past two to three years. My eating habits have not been helping. They have dwindled as well.

As of Friday I will be joining Curves. I have a new goal. I am also working a new job and putting together portfolio of Domestic Violence Information so that I may teach about it at the hospital I work for. My goal is to start there and expand to other hospitals, high schools and colleges that have criminal justice programs. Being a former police officer has allowed me to experience one side of domestic violence and the laws. Being a survivor of domesitc violence gave me another type of experience. I am looking forward to combining the two and teaching others and maybe influenceing victims to fight for themselves with the help they may need to do so. I am truly excited about this.

I have also combined my crocheting talents with my sisters sewing talents to create handbags and change purses. We are going to use the money to assist our mother with her finances. She has always been such a wonderful mother and grandmother that I want to do something special for her. We do not have a lot ourselves, howerver, we have some creative skills that can be turned into an income. I am proud of that new endevor as well.

Once upon a time I thought there was no light at the end of the tunnel during and after the domestic violence. With the love of my family and my man I have stepped out into the light and want to give back to my family and community.

Thank you son, mom and sis........I have exhaled and am breathing!!!!! Without your unwithering love and support I would not be where I am now. Emotionally, financially and support. You are all the best.

Thank you to my man........Abe....you stood by me through some of the worse times. Times that no other man would of dared to stick around for and still love me. You may not always be the emotional, huggy lovey man.....but I have learned that it is all the small things you do and say that says "I Love You" loud and clear! You are my angel!!!!!!

To my son....mommy is always going to remember your love and honesty, your pain and tears, your anger, frustration, and sadness. Baby I am sorry. I will always work to support you so that you grow into the man you were always meant to be. I am proud of you and look forward to seeing you succeed and grow.

Love your mother, daughter, sister and women!!!! I love you all!!!!
