Or have a baby by Diddy or 50 Cent. LOL! <br /><br />I still can't see paying $760 a week in child care...can't do it. Hell, I think $400 a week is too damn much! <br /><br />Or maybe I'm just a peasant :-)Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-72248260348425773712011-09-08T17:45:31.883-04:002011-09-08T17:45:31.883-04:00Yes 760 a week!

Wife is a lawyer with (Citigroup. she is a part of the group that gets those ridiculous bonuses that President Obama refers to!) I am an administrator in academic clinical research (We don't get bonuses or overtime! BOOOO)<br /><br />760 is too rich for my blood that is why we are heading to a daycare in LI that charges a manageable 400 per week for both kids! Wifey has the rest of the year covered at the day care in Manhattan, but after that, the price is just too damn much! My people told me about this daycare in BK that charges 150 for toddlers and 105 for newborns (could be the other way around) A brother may be headed to BK every morning to drop the kids off there if the place is kosher!<br /><br />Ask me what $ 760 a week daycare gets me!<br /><br />Attitude from my girls! Almost seems like they think they better than me! I am being serious too! I want them to actually start going to a place with kids that look like them! I don't need kids with identity issues! We don't have it like those other kids! We do OK, but mommy and daddy aren't anywhere close to being millionaires or corporate execs!<br /><br />My mother retires in 2013, I will be able to put the kids in pre-school part-time and have my mother watch and pick up the girls after school! This should alleviate some costs until Brooke starts kindergarten!<br /><br />Gotta go now and pick the little ones up now! <br /><br />Later!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-91482275342214922742011-09-08T17:31:43.545-04:002011-09-08T17:31:43.545-04:00Night Night!

I was trying to say that ...Brooke...Hell to the no! I was trying to say that IF we had a third on the way, in my attempt to go for the boy, I would wind up with a third girl! For clarity, I am DONE (for now)! My wife is stuck on having a boy, while I am stuck on maintaining my mental health! I am thinking about having "the procedure" Two kids are a lot of work! Three at this stage, I would certainly go insane! I don't get any sleep as it is! Between the potty training and the diaper changing, The daddy pony rides and various other cool things to do with the kiddies...I am beat! <br /><br />Not to mention the money! Whoa! I am buying stock in huggies for sure! Having to stock up on both stage 2/3 and stage 4 diapers at the same time is no joke! I LIVE IN BJ's, I am about to get me a job up in there! We have become a coupon family out of necessity! Plus Sydney is on powdered formula now! What?? 60 dollars every two weeks man! One supply for the daycare the other for home! And the 10% discount for a second child at the same daycare is a joke! 10% off of 400 per week is only 40 dollars man! 760 a week ladies and gents! THAT IS A MORTGAGE! Eff these Manhattan prices! Needless to say, I found a daycare in LI that both girls will be starting in January! 220 for Sydney and $180.00 for Brooke. I am getting a two for one deal here!<br /><br />Then lil Brooke is growing like a doggone weed! Seems like every other week she is getting too big for her clothes! I am lucky because all of the clothes that she has outgrown will be passed down to Sydney. Brooke really needs some winter and fall clothes! So it looks like shopping is on the agenda for sure this weekend! Weather changed fast on a brother! I need all the prayers I can get for this new job! Been a week and haven't heard anything! Starting to worry!<br /><br />Floyd <br /><br />FloydAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-14801264752689458212011-09-08T15:16:24.780-04:002011-09-08T15:16:24.780-04:00Hi Jay...

For those in the know, you know how good these joints are.<br /><br />1. Frank Ocean | Novacane. <br />The rapidly rising kid with the "Watch the Throne" credits has been penning some hits as of late, but his best work lies squarely between the walls of his debut mix tape "Nostalgia/Ultra". This song's gonna make you a fan. <br /><br />2. The Floacist | You. <br />Ever wonder what happened to the 50 percent of Floetry NOT named Ambrosius? The spoken word half of the duo's got her own solo work, and this track is all that with icing. <br /><br />Full Crates & Mar | Aftersexin - Pulled from the legendary Full crates mix tapes, this track is a simple futuristic, R&B groove with an infectious feel. Cop you one.<br /><br />Kissey Asplund | Caos - <br />Another track featured on Full Crates that's nice for the rainy days in life. Listen closely, and you'll hear the clever sample of Vince Guaraldi's "O Christmas Tree". Yep, cats is sampling Charlie. Charlie Brown. <br /><br />Little Brother | Good Clothes - <br />If you aint up on Little Brother, you can thank me later. If you are, your a fan of the clever, conversational wordplay, top-notch productions and inventive loops. This aint your lil cousin's kinda rap. This is your kind.<br /><br />Hil St. Soul | We were in love - Asking me why this chick doesn't get the pub she really deserves is like asking me why hot dogs come in a pack of 6, but the buns come in a pack of 8. I got no clue, but she's fly and can sing. Start the fandom here.<br /><br />Maysa | I can't help it - <br />The Michael Jackson one? From Off the Wall? Two words: Hell. Yeah. Put me down for the best cover of this song I own, and i got like 6. <br /><br />Vargo | Relax. I go through these phases where I search for new sounds just cuz I wanna feel some new ish. (Channeling my inner Katt Williams - we ALL have one) "This ish right here? This ish? Right here?" When you need 5 simple minutes to completely escape on your own air, this song melts stress like butter. Its from the Cafe Zen Digital Box set, which should be illegal for its ability to sedate yo azz.<br /><br />Sabrina Malheiros | Equilibria - A friend asks you to meet for drinks in a chill spot you walk past every day and didn't even know was there. You walk in, the vibe is fresh, and the next thing you know, your sittin in a fly chair tappin your foot to something funky. This is what you hear.<br /><br />Stay thirsty.<br /><br />DmoeDMoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15121073476554198739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-19538249263793706422011-09-08T13:28:32.022-04:002011-09-08T13:28:32.022-04:00pic of baby Jordan is up on the blog now :)pic of baby Jordan is up on the blog now :)Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-41996479126971681442011-09-08T13:25:40.251-04:002011-09-08T13:25:40.251-04:00That is where you are wrong - I love to read and I...That is where you are wrong - I love to read and I have no problems discussing books.
