Putting Things In Perspective...

First, though, please check out last night's TWO-HOUR Artist Spotlight with Micheal Tate of 3D Ritmo De Vida by clicking here.

It was a pretty awesome interview if I do say so myself, so you'd be doing yourself a favor by tuning in. No, really, go check it out. I'll wait.

What'd I tell you- kick ass, right? Feel free to check the band out online at www.hear3Dmusic.com.

Okay, now on to the post...

Sometimes, in my house, I have to put on my super mom outfit to keep these girls in line. And recently, it went a little bit like this:

K: UGH... we have health class starting again. And we're being graded. AND I have math first period. UGH!

ME: Be thankful you even go to school and that you weren't up since 4AM picking cotton. Did you know that not too long ago it was illegal for Black people to learn to read?

K (mumbling): ugh... never mind...

*smooches...trying to get this child to stop complaining so much*

besides... that's MY job, dammit!!
