Its my dads birthday today.....and i came over yesterday, and spent a really nice day w/my parents.......last night, me and him ended up talking till about 12:30, in between watching who won what in baseball.....  lol but, its been soooo long that i've had a really nice conversation w/my dad that i will cherish last night and today, for a very long time.........
Today, we just puttered around, he wanted to find a lure for fishing in fresh water, so we drove to 3 different stores, Walmart, Sports Authority, and Dogfish bait and tackle shop.....lol and ended up back at Walmart......but, what a pleasant day we had.......and are in the process of having!
Tomorrow, if the weather holds we are planning a day of fishing!!! YEAH!!!!! Havent been fishing in a while! Dad gave me 2 fishing rods, but i still havent mastered taking the fish off of a hook, and since that is the whole point in fishing, i'm like, well.......maybe that would be a little embarrassing, to end up stuck w/the fish on the hook........and, if by chance u got the fish off, but it died, how terrible would that be!?!?!?! lol    
Soooo, i wait for dad to come over and then we fish, or if i come back to the house! lol 
anywayz......guess i should skiddaddle.

Well, things have been interesting these past couple of days......i've been spending some time by myself, just sorting through my feelings.....i came home Sat. afternoon as mom and me were getting at each other, and i didnt really think dad needed that.......
I'm not entirely sure of how she died, but, i do have my own thoughts......and if they do come to be true i'll post my thoughts out......
my older sister is flying in tonight.......and my half brother and sisters will be in, as they knew her longer then we did.
i've been seeing people differently.......definately want to tell them all how i feel about them more......i have this huge long letter going out to my little sister......
this has been quite a ramble of sorts.......i'll write more later.

Well, my little sister ended up coming in yesterday.....and again, us sisters spent some time together.......she leaves on Friday, so we will be spending some much needed quiet time together!
how thankful to God i am for her, and for my older sister, well......for my family.
but, today has been quite the emotionally draining day.......today was the burial......and just being at the cemetary.......where the rest of the family is buried was emotional......i have my dads parents......my little sister, my uncle, (which was the husband of my aunt who just died....) my 2 cousins..(who were her sons and died when one was 19, and the other was in his early 20's)....they both died in car accidents related to drunk driving......my great aunt and great uncle......all on my dads side....
the reality of it is the next person is my dad.......and when one thinks about that, that is a stark reality......one filled w/selfishness......as a kid, teen, and young adult, i would live my life in "fear" of that......that someone would die.....as death has alwayz been in my life......and has been this traumatic event.......and u live life differently when its a fear, then when u celebrate it......u suffocate people, instead of giving them their space......anywayz.....before i go on and on......i should skiddaddle....

well, my little sister left back to college, and my dad and older sister left to go to Puerto Rico.......she was born there and has never been.......since......and she's been dying to go, planned it a couple of times, but cancelled it, due to some reasons......and so, they took this opportunity to do this.......so that was sad saying goodbye at the airport......and mom and me drove home.
tomorrow i get to watch my cousins children, as they finish up going through my aunts apartment.....so, that works out great.....and then, sunday i head back to my house, monday is my class, and then back here to wait for my dad and my older sister to come home, and then she, my older sister flies back to her house at the end of the week.

An interesting thing happened yesterday......a friend from church who just got back into town called me on my cell phone, and we were catching up......and then all of a sudden i felt myself spewing garbage from my mouth......like, going in a downward cycle......mostly about things that were affecting me, but that she had no control over, and bordered gossip to dear family members.......and trully, i've never really been the one to go about my mom this, and my dad that, and my grandparents this, etc.....well, all of a sudden she couldnt hear me anymore.....and......i really felt like that was God, shutting me up......well, later on i ended up going over to her friends house as she was getting together w/some friends, and we just hung out......it was a pleasant evening.......actually ended up getting home around midnight......it was nice just not thinking about things......
i guess i'll write more later.

What a fun week it has been spending it with family, and here on Crosswalk.....it has been fun reading and seeing new threads over in the singles department......but, i say it will be nice to head home on Monday, and get back into my little space!
before i skiddaddle back home, i wanted to leave u with this thought.....about the immigration issue!
Letters from the Other Side!
<http://www.sidestreetfilms.com/images/spacer.gif>
"How many more deaths does it take for the U.S. government to do something? Let it be on their conscience that since our tragedy many more have died and many more will die!"
So says Laura in a video letter to the U.S. government, speaking about her husband who died trying to cross the U.S./Mexico border to search for work. LETTERS FROM THE OTHER SIDE interweaves video letters carried across the U.S./Mexico border with the intimate stories of women left behind in post-NAFTA Mexico. By focusing on a side of the immigration story rarely told by the media or touched upon in our national debate, LETTERS paints a complex portrait of families torn apart by economics, communities dying at the hands of globalization, and governments incapable or unwilling to do anything about it.
The People
The daily lives and struggles of four Mexican women interweave with their video letters, carried across the border (by the film's director) to both loved ones and strangers in the U.S.:
Eugenia Gonzαlez:
"If you invite your father to watch this video, please tell him that I am very happy to have accomplished everything I have accomplished without having to rely on him at all."
Eugenia's husband left some 8 years ago and has never been back. Initially he sent money and called often. But after a little while, he stopped sending money, and the calls became sporadic. In the years following, her sons have left one by one, the first one in search of his Dad. Eugenia has tried to make a new life for herself and her two daughters, learning how to cultivate cactus and make cactus products like soap and jam that she sells in local markets. As her teenage daughter Maricruz talks more and more about going to the U.S., Eugenia worries how she will keep what little family she has left together.
When a video letter opens the lines of communication between Eugenia and her husband again, an engrossing and painful family dynamic unfolds. Eugenia has conflicting feelings when her husband makes promises of returning home soon. She worries who will "wear the pants" if he does come, and how her 7-year-old daughter Jessica will react to the father she has never known. Yet she also knows how much it would mean to her daughter Maricruz, who hopes against hope that her father will return in time for the approaching date of her quinceaρera (15th birthday) celebration.
Maria Yaρez:
"All this here is seasonal, we don't have irrigation. When it rains, it grows, and when it doesn't, it doesn't. The crops are only for eating, and anyway, the price in the market is really low now."
Maria Yaρez is a subsistence farmer in rural central Mexico, who, along with her husband Domingo, waits for the rain each year to begin planting corn and beans. As they desperately try to eke out a living from their small parcel of land, another son leaves for the U.S. each year, leaving them to wonder, who will they pass their land down to?
As we follow a planting season in Maria and Domingo's lives, we see them worry about the forces of nature and economics, neither of which they can control. As they grow older, it gets more difficult for them to farm, and they hope their youngest son, who has not yet left for the U.S., will take over the land. But Julio, who has one more year of high school left, has other ideas. "You can't make any money from farming at all. The government doesn't support the small farmer anymore, and prices in the market are really low."
Maria tries to earn a little extra money by embroidering pillows, which sell at a women's cooperative store in a nearby tourist hotspot. Her video letter begins by following one of Maria's pillows over the border and into the U.S. with the American retiree who bought it.
Carmela Rico and Laura Masacruz:
"He said he would only go for a year. The morning he left he hugged and kissed me and the children, and then he left. I never heard from him again. We found out through the television."
The story of Carmela and Laura opens with television news footage of the story of their husbands who lost their lives in the worst immigrant smuggling case in U.S. history - in May 2003, they suffocated in the back of a semi-truck in Victoria, Texas, along with 17 other undocumented immigrants trying to cross the border to look for jobs in the U.S. In an attempt to start their lives over, Carmela and Laura struggle to begin a bakery, but are shell-shocked from their tragedy and frustrated with government band-aid approaches on both sides of the border. Immediately after the tragedy, the Mexican government helped them by donating a large oven and other heavy equipment. But this quick fix hasn't helped get the bakery off the ground -- the equipment stands idle as the woman have no money to invest in additional necessary supplies, and no training.
In a video letter with a U.S. Homeland Security spokesperson, they vent their grief and frustration over inhumane policies that do little to address root problems. Says Laura in the video letter:
"How many more deaths does it take for the U.S. government to say this is enough and do something? They need workers over there, if they didn't people wouldn't be trying to cross the border, and in trying many die. Enough already! Enough death and suffering!"
The Problem
Between 1990 and 2004, the number of undocumented Mexicans living in the United States rose from 2 million to 6 million. Free trade agreements and liberalization policies have made it increasingly difficult for individual farmers in Mexico to make a living. By 2002, the number of farming jobs had fallen by 1.3 million since NAFTA went into effect in 1994. In that same time period, U.S. corn exports to Mexico have increased by 240%, and Mexican corn prices have fallen by more than 70%.
Meanwhile, U.S. immigration policies since NAFTA and more recently 9/11 have focused on enforcement, driving undocumented immigrants to cross at more and more remote places in more dangerous ways, and pay thousands of dollars to unscrupulous smugglers. A tripling of the number of Border Patrol agents on the U.S./ Mexico border since 1994 has not brought down the number of those trying to cross, but has increased the numbers who die trying and the fee paid to smugglers. The recorded number of immigrants who died crossing the U.S./Mexico border has grown from 61 in 1995 to 464 in 2005, while some estimates show that the average smuggler fee has increased from $300 in 1994 to around $2000 in 2004.
While the U.S. enforces immigration policies that do little to stop migration and only make it more dangerous, the Mexican government does little to stem the flow of migration from their communities. U.S. dollars that flow into Mexico each year from immigrants working in the U.S. may be one reason why. In 2004, Mexicans in the U.S. sent back $17 billion, almost twice the amount sent in 2000. This is more than Mexico makes from tourism, and the country's second largest source of income after oil.
Recently, the Bush Administration proposed a guest worker program that will allow Mexican immigrants to work legally in the U.S. for 3 years but then have to return to their country. Still being debated in the U.S. House and the Senate, many say this will do little to stem the flow of illegal migration, since most immigrants won't want to subject themselves to a time limit of three years. And it does little to address the problem of families forced to live apart. Meanwhile, the enforcement provisions that go along with the proposal, including the proposed construction of an additional 700 miles of fencing along the border, will only make it more dangerous and risky for immigrants to cross.

As NiceGuy said.....i'll be this age for the rest of my life! Thats a pretty cool thought!
Rosie!
This has become one of my favoritest country songs!
RASCAL FLATTS
"My Wish"
I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,
But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.
But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
This is my wish
I hope you know somebody loves you
May all your dreams stay big

here's another one:
My Little Girl
Tim McGraw
Gotta hold on easy as I let you go
Gonna tell you how much I love you though you think you already know
I remember I thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm
You?ve had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born
You beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again
Go on take on this old world but to me you know you will always be
My little girl
When you were in trouble that crooked little smile would melt my heart of stone
Now look at you I?ve turned around and you?ve almost grown
Sometimes your asleep I whisper I love you in the moonlight at your door
As I walk away I hear you say ?daddy love you more?
You beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again
Go on take on this old world but to me you know you will always be
My little girl
Someday some boy will come and ask me for your hand
But I won?t say yes to him unless I know
He?s the half that makes you whole
He has a poets soul
And the heart of a mans man
I know he?ll say that he?s in love, but between you and me
He won?t be good enough
You beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again
Go on take on this old world but to me you know you will always be
My little girl
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````
such beautiful wordz!!!! makes me wanna cry every time i hear them!
R.

Hey you all.....
I'm back in my little city...... Getting settled back in......things have been good......i've heard they are opening up the Center where i work the second week in November, so that will be awesome to get back w/the kiddies! AND......i just recieved a phone call from the school district calling about me becoming a substitute teacher, so that would be interesting! Just seeing where the Lord would have me!
My dream is to get into a charter school working w/migrant children/hispanic children, but to do that, they've told me i'd need to get some experience......soooooooooo................that would mean time as a real teacher in the public school system! Which is kindof scarey.......i know i have the head knowledge, but....................it doesnt alwayz equal out to me knowing what to do in situations!
Ohhh, but the most AMAZING thing is, is that my unemployment money is due to run out at the end of the month.......and i was starting to get all panicky like WHAT am i going to do.........Circle K was hiring, and so is Save A Lot.......but, i was like, is that really where i should go?!??!?!?
Yesterday, for Hispanic Heritage Month......we went to a Puerto Rican Festival........that was pretty sweet! Had a good time hanging out w/friends and esp. w/my dad!
Sooooooooooo.................well, thats about it for now......my sister made it safe to Colorado where she spent the weekend. Soo.....now its just a hop, skip and a jump to Oregon!
Rosie.

Well, i start my substitute teaching tomorrow in a second grade classroom.......i was over in the singles sharing, that i get sooo nervous when i do something out of my comfort zone, but, that this morning i went to the school and wanted to spend time in the classroom, getting to know the students, the teacher, the routine, etc.....so, that tomorrow morning all i have to do is walk in and get the children. And......it was a great experience, i went over there when the students were in the Library, so i didnt make a ruckus in the classroom......and then spent 3 hours hanging out w/the teacher. It was pretty cool. And the most "ironic" thing was that there are 2 children in the class from my neighborhood. Actually i know their parents. So, hopefully this will get us even closer together! Which will be pretty cool!
Sooo, i have a test a little later on in my Monday class, and then i have the job tomorrow, which is pretty exciting!
God is good!
Rosie.

Well....i spent ALL last week in the classroom as a substitute, and LOVED it!!!!!!!! I was telling my friends that it has TOTALLY wiped out the experience from my student teaching, and the horrible time i had there!!!! Everyone is sooo supportive, and even though the kids are "smart" and trying to get away w/things.......its like i am such a different person......i dont feel them as attacking me.....but, as being kids!!!!!
I'll spend this week there, and then i go back to RCMA and into the classroom there on Friday!!!! FINALLY back w/the little ones!!!!! I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!
I've seen some of my little ones at Walmart and i get such a surge of love for them, its just soo amazing!!!! I have my books ready, and projects, quite the challenge getting them ready for kindegarten........but, i will do my best and thats all i can do!!!!
Tomorrow i have some research to do, so i'll be back, just wanted to set the stage as it were for coming attractions!
Rosie.

Wow....so much has happened recently. Work has been great.....in so much as i am learning soo much!!! From the children and the staff. Also, just trying to take different things in. I know i'm kindof talking in riddles.....but, i have some decisions to make, and i'm thinking the course of my life is going to change, well maybe.......if i do make this decision.
I have my tree outside on my patio all lit up.....so, that is cool. My neighborhood has definately gotten into the Christmas spirit.
I'm here at the local library w/some kids, they are checking out some books.....(which i insist on).....and some videos...... U gotta feed that brain......i guess thats the teacher coming out. And thats the arrangement we make that they need to all get one book out. I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooove books......and i try to instill that in the children i come in contact with.
Also, i'm making up some Christmas bags for the kids in my class......i have some scissors, crayons, books, coloring books.....etc.......i'm pretty excited about that.
I guess i'll write more later.
Rosie.
