One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

on
At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it. There are so many explanations about why they're incomplete that I could devote an entire series of posts to that. Instead, I'd like to share a post from several years ago about how my kids messed up my grandmother's birthday dinner...

Political Scandal: Kwame Kilpatrick should resign...

on


I have been completely consumed with the hot mess called Detroit politics. It has all of the elements of a good soap opera--sex, lies, and text messages.

On March 24, 2008, Kwame Kilpatrick, Mayor of Detroit, was charged with perjury, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and misconduct in office, charges in which he faces time in prison if convicted. Conviction of these crimes would also cause him to lose his mayoral position. However, shouldn't Kilpatrick simply resign anyway?

In addition to his legal troubles, Kilpatrick’s tenure has been marked by various scandals and plagued by suspicions of ethical misconduct. To summarize, throughout his administration Kilpatrick has been accused of lying, cheating, and stealing. And some of those allegations have proven true.

Viewed individually, you may have various opinions about the allegations. Viewed collectively, you will find them incredibly embarrassing for Kilpatrick and his beloved city. And even if you don't think that Kilpatrick should go to jail, you'll conclude that he has incredibly bad judgment.

That’s why I think Kilpatrick should resign. At the end of the day, a mayor is supposed to make his/her city proud. And Kilpatrick hasn’t done that for quite some time.
