This has been a big topic in our House. We are all divided in what we think Lebron should do.  As you know we are big basketball fans so we have been watching these trades pretty close.

My Son is a big Miami fan so of course he was happy that his favorite player D. Wade is staying with the heat! He is also glad that the heat got Chris Bosh However you would think that he would love to see Lebron come play with the heat right??  Apparently He feels otherwise. He feels that this is not a good move for Lebron. I think this would be a perfect move for Lebron and the Heat.  Many people are talking about the fact that Lebron shouldn’t go to Miami to play with superstar Dwyane Wade and sidekick Chris Bosh  because it Would Hurt the King’s Legacy in Long Run.

The Big Question is Will Lebron James, the guy  we all know who cares so much about his image and legacy very much and who aspires to become a billionaire athlete, be really willing to share the spotlight with Wade? I hope he will be willing to share the stage with Wade and appear like a team player who wants to win instead of a superstar worrying about his ego!  I don’t see how his image suffers if he comes along and helps a team who hasn’t won a playoff since ’06. He doesn’t have to be the Heat’s savior like he would be with the Cavs or Knicks with all the pressure on his shoulders. I understand the logics but come on we all know how bad King James wants that championship!

James with Wade will dominate. Cleveland tried to build around James, and failed. Miami is already a playoff contender, adding James it’s On!! . James can share the ball with Wade, now each man has time to play using their skills and most important their head. More rings bring more glory, more money, and more sponsors. The Wade/James/Bosh  commercials could bring in hundreds of millions.

Tonight is the night everyone gets the answers we all have been asking where is King James going to play!!   My Vote Goes to Miami and my son says he is staying with his Home town where his heart is at. What do you think!!  The ESPN show begins at 9 p.m., and he’s expected to reveal his choice about 10 minutes into the program.  Just letting you know I will be tweeting my ass off either way tonight when the results are officially in!

If you are a parent then you know that one of the first and most important decisions you can make regarding your child is where they will begin their education.  Choosing the right pre k or kindergarten program is essential in giving them the proper foundation in a lifelong learning process.  All of us want the very best for our kids and it begins here.  When I was deciding which programs to enroll my kids in for pre-k and eventually kindergarten there were several questions that were important to me.  Was there a curriculum and was it rigidly followed?   How large are the classes and how many teachers are there per child?  How qualified are the teachers?  Do the children get healthy snacks or a lot of junk food?? (The latter was more appealing to one of my daughters! LOL)  is there someone in charge of monitoring the quality of the program?  These were just a few of the questions I had.  Like any parent I wanted a top notch program that was strict, but fun and educational.  You can get all of that and more with KinderCare!

KinderCare learning centers are dedicated to the highest quality childcare for your kids.  Their dedication to quality is impressive.  Twice a year each of their 40,000 teachers nationwide are engaged in one of the largest early childhood training programs in the country to stay updated on the recent developments.  There is also a low teacher to student ratio so that your child gets the personal attention they need and there is constant contact with the parents to keep them involved in the process as well, which I really enjoy.  KinderCare offers programs from infants up through kindergarten with specific curriculums for each group.  I love that each group has a quality care checklist so specific goals are always met.  This specialization can start in the infant program where they make sure the nap times are personalized for your child’s specific needs and that the daily activities are times of learning and nurturing to the kindergarten program where they routinely check to make sure the proper environment is provided for homework, and that there is ample time provided for activities that begin to nurture creative thought and independence.  The program grows actively and precisely with your child’s needs with an emphasis on constant engagement with the child and the parent to suit the child’s individual development.  Fully licensed and accredited, KinderCare learning centers are the best place for your child to begin their educational journey!

Here Lately I have been looking over the group of people I “run” with.  I admit after carefully evaluating my current friendships, I must say I have a few that It’s getting cut off.  We all know that ANYTHING Toxic is not good for us and that can include Family and friends.   I am at a point in my life where I am getting older and wiser. I see things totally different than I seen it before.  What I used to brush off, well I can’t do that it anymore.  I will be honest I guess you can say my Patience have wore thin.

Toxic friendships wreak havoc on your sense of well being and peace. A toxic friend can be described in many ways: that “friend” who is always negative, always critical, the one who after you spent any amount of time with leaves you feeling drained.  They thrive on drama but are the main ones saying “they hate drama”.  When you have problems—which they claim to want to hear about, it always magically ends up being about Their BIGGER problems.

I found this while browsing the web tonight which was a big eye opener..So my question is Do you have toxic friends that you would be better off letting go?

7 Types of Toxic Friends

1. The Manipulator is often stealthy. We don’t tend to see it right away until smack it happens again. They have countless tactics too many to mention, the best way to recognize them is when you feel yourself coerced into responding in away that just doesn’t feel right.

2. The Judger just can’t help but judge and criticize us. “You would look great with an age appropriate hairstyle don’t you think?” “I love your home, there so much potential here I know exactly how I would decorate it.” These guys can find fault in anything you do. It’s as though you just can’t do anything right. When it’s done in a joking tone it may be a bit harder to identify.

3. The Competitor will compete with you even when you’re not competing. If you decide to run a 5k they can’t wait to tell you about how they signed up for a marathon. When you mention you’re your weekend getaway they tell you about their plan for a two week vacation in Tahiti in their beautiful over-water bungalow with panoramic views and fresh exotic fruits.

4. The Opportunist is “take, take, take.” There is no reciprocity in this relationship. They tend to call you when they need or want something. They’ll go to your party if there isn’t a “better” event happening that night. It’s all about what’s in it for them.

5. The Energy Vampire is self-absorbed and zaps our energy as they go on-and-on endlessly about themselves. When you leave them you feel exhausted.

6.The Gossiper is more malicious than the average person who periodically finds them self in a bit of gossip. Gossip appears to be the only thing they are interested in and they enjoy exaggeration and little lies to liven up the drama. This can be a disastrous recipe. The Gossiper can destroy relationships, and even compromise your job and reputation. Stay clear of this one because remember, one who always gossips to you about others will gossip to others about you and you won’t know what exaggerations or lies are being added.

7.  Negative Nelly is a downer, all is wrong in their world. They are pessimistic and resistant. They only want to hear what’s wrong in your life and they tend to get bored or change the subject when you mention your successes or happiness.

My Older sister  is always is telling me to surround myself with positive energy; and that I will be much happier. I guess I can now say I understand why her circle is small and why she is always happy!  I am letting go of all negative in  my life Starting now.. So if for some reason your one of those people you now know why.  If your one that I tend to keep THANK YOU FOR BEING A GREAT POSTIVE PERSON IN MY LIFE!!
