Yvette said… - Hey von! Girl, I'm wondering why the lady (whom I understand to be quit young) is having so many babies without a father. I mean, I know some women are capable of raising great children without the father, but come on! To me, it seems she really needs to be honest with herself about why she feels the need to have so many. It's obvious she needs help (not just financial), if she living with her parents. And why put the burden on them to help. They probably don't mind, but 14 children????
As for the man who committed suicide after killing his family....my heart goes out to those babies. I saw photos of them...they were so cute. It saddens me that he and his wife (allegedly) felt they had no other options.

I always know that I can count on the two of them to "get the job done". They will be apart of the special selection of girls that perform during the circus act with me. Hopefully all are doing well.
Love Jimi~

- Hi von! Thanks for the compliment. I don't feel like I have adult children, either. I guess the softball and having a 5 year old keeps me feeling young. :-)

- I doubt if I am the best to answer since I can only get Coleman to do stuff when he wants something. And yet, he turned out okay. I suppose she can get privileges if she does what she is supposed to or lose privileges if she doesn't. The other thing to think about is if the things that she is supposed to do are age and temperament appropriate. What works with Tim? Love, Sherrie

- Hey, well you know it is going to take some time for Barack to come around. He is around you all the time, so you are all he knows. As far as the music, I have been looking on line, and I tried to look at some of the old Circus music. I did have a conversation with the Director today, and she said agreed on a song that I had suggested earlier, I just need to find some type of upbeat version of it. An afternoon at the park would be nice. Let me know what is around you. I do have one down the street from my house, but if you have something close to you, that would be fine. Jamila~

- Hey Von, It's not easy HS'ing because I still work full-time. I really have to have my lesson plans together and ready to go when I get home. But, I'd rather deal with it than put him in public school. Delete Comment

- Hi Von, Thanks for the friend request. Your babies are adorable!!! I see you're from Highland, CA. We may know each other or some of the same people. I'm originally from Los Angeles, but grew up in the Inland Empire.

Hello Ladies, I am just starting my first book. Finding time to write is the biggest issue for me but I am in no rush to finish. I hope to learn more from all of you on writing and getting your book out there.
If you're a writer, at any stage of our career, this group is for you! Lets share tips, complain about how long it's taking us to finish something we're working on, and collaborate on jobs. This is a source of support for writing mamas.
