She wakes in the morning and she’s got to go.
Time’s moving fast, but she’s moving slow.
She comes into work and uses her brain,
But cannot help and feel the strain.
She feels like her world’s spinning round and round.
Her body’s tired, but she can’t slow down.
She could make a thousand dollars, then a thousand more,
but three boys later, still the woman’s poor.
She picks up the boys as her workday ends.
She tries to reach out, and remember friends.
She makes time for housework and her children too.
She says, “Don’t worry, honey, I’ll make time for you.”
She does the dishes with pain in her back.
She feels like she’s going to have a heart attack.
With all this stress she will hardly sleep.
Her mind is spinning and her thoughts are deep.
She says her prayers to the Lord above.
Thanks Him for life and this gift of love.
She wakes in the morning, does it all again.
Vacation’s coming. Only, God knows when.
Her weekend’s for laundry, and her errands, too.
She says, “Don’t worry, honey, I’ll make time for you.”
She gives everything, while they all forget; she isn’t quite finished with her morning yet.
Weekend is over, back to tug-o-war.
With all her running round, now her feet are sore.
She’ll give and give, and she’ll do and do.
She’s grateful, Lord. She does it all for You.
But, she feels like her world’s spinning round and round.
Her bodies tired, but she can’t slow down.
She has no time alone, and it’s a sin.
But, it’s never been easy being Jacqueline.
For your birthday, I wrote you this poem.
I pray for your joy.
Now relax at home.

Hey there fellow Goddess Queens of the Universe!!! Well another week has come and gone, and the May Blossoms have bloomed:) Is your favorite TV show going into the has been abyss? Are you feeling like the entertainment ship has sailed and you were left on the dock? Well, we here at Room With A View should tell you that only a boring person could ever be bored with all the Fun-tas-tic bordom busters we have in store for our fellow Goddess Queens:) So read on, be thrilled, and as always… enjoy:)

Goofy-Summer-Reads:)
Oprah may have her book of the month club to tantalize your literary palette, but I am here to free you of such epic Summer reading. After all, schools out!!! It’s time to have some fun with your reads, so I give you the Summer weekend books to waste the two days of free time us Goddess Queens have between becoming President and taking over the world this Summer:)
This weeks “goofy-summer-read” is book the 13th of the popular “Lemony Snicket’s Series of Unfortunate Events” series. It’s entitled quite simply… “The End”. The Snicket books remind me of the Bugs Bunny cartoons of old. Throughout the series there are hilarious visual jokes as well as verbal jokes that all but jump off the page toward the reader. There also is an underlying subplot about the author Lemony Snicket, that most readers would argue is slightly more intriguing than the series plot itself. Interesting and dastardly characters make you want to pour through these books like a hot knife through butter. Trust me. Once you pick up these books, you won’t want to put them down.

HBO:)
No I didn’t just say (Ho-bow). How could any good cable hook-up be complete without H.B.O. If for nothing else, for the upcoming final season EVER of Deadwood. That’s right. The famous HBO series is coming to a close at the peak of popularity. And, you know that a series about gun slingers, gold diggers, and the rootinest-tootinest hombres that ever lived in the era of Wild Bill himself is deffinately going to go out… with a bang:)

MTV/MOV…IES

Movies-A-Go-Go
Well let us all forget the last flick-flop… what was that called again?!! Right, let’s put that Bomb aside and look at the bulk of M. Night’s work. The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs… they speak for themselves. M. Night Shyamalan is one of the most brilliant young directors of the 21st century. His films strike fear and shock into the hearts and minds of audiences everywhere. His films bear a close resemblance to the genius of the late great Alfred Hitchcock yet retain a style that is all Shyamalan. He has a way of finding a persons fright button, and pressing it so slightly that they don’t even realize it’s being pressed until the goosebumps crawl up their spine. The teaser for his latest film, “Lady In the Water”, is as intriguing as it is terrifying. It’s a must see for this Summer, and will be released this June. Click below to see the trailer:)

Hey there fellow Goddess Queens of the Universe!!! Well, I am guilty yet again of not being a “set-your-watch-by-me” timely blogger, but I hopefully will make up for it now. How, you may ask… well, that answer is quite simple my Goddess friends. Summer is on it’s way with a vengeance, and with it comes my New York, Puerto Rico, and good-ol-hometown Florida on location vacation entries!!!!!!! Say it with me… YIPPEE!!! Between the movie Blockbusters, TV Big Brothers, and Best Selling Book Buying Blitz, you’d best believe, blogging buddies, a better blog’s never been. Now try saying that three times fast. But, before you begin… (I couldn’t resist) there’s just one thing left to say. American Idol will always have Paris… oops… well, maybe not:xI was on location last week in Puerto Rico, not to find out about the declining/closing government, but to visit my grandma. (Pictured above next to Grandpa.) We got the call about mid-April that she had suffered a heart attack, and would have to receive a quadruple bypass. What is that you may ask? Okay so you know what it is. Pin a rose on your nose, but for my fellow Goddess Queens who have not yet seen that episode of the Simpsons were Homer needed one, it meant the doctors were going to “tinker with her ticker”. All four veins in her heart needed a-fixin. I am happy to report that all went well, and she is currently at home. Although she is going to be struggling through recovery for at least a year, I have never felt more confident that a woman of her strength, courage, and faith will be able to pull through this with little more than a scar and a smile.
I would have loved to tell my Room with a View fans about the tourist hot-spots, stunning views, and spectacular ethnic food in Puerto Rico during my visit, but I spent most of my four days there going from hospital to hospital. You see, while my Grandma was having her operation in one hospital, my cousin was having a baby in another. And, yes, she did name him Mark Anthony. This led me to ask the question… what are the top 20 stupid celebrity baby names!!!
Here's the full Top 20, with the offending parents in brackets:

1. Moon Unit (Frank and Gail Zappa)

2. Fifi Trixibelle (Paula Yates and Bob Geldof)

3. Satchel (Mia Farrow and Woody Allen)

4. Apple (Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin)

5. Daisy Boo (Julia and Jamie Oliver)

6. Rumer (Demi Moore and Bruce Willis)

7. Peaches (Paula Yates and Bob Geldof)

8. River (Arlyn and John Phoenix)

9. Rocco (Madonna and Guy Ritchie)

10. Nell Marmalade (Helen Baxendale and David Eliot)

11. Maddox (adopted by Angelina Jolie)

12. Tiger Lily Heavenly Hirani (Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence)

13. Dweezil (Frank/Gail Zappa)

14. Brooklyn (Victoria/David Beckham)

15. Eugenie (Sarah Ferguson/Prince Andrew)

16. Zowie (Angie and David Bowie)

17. Rolan (Gloria Jones and Marc Bolan)

18. Phoenix Chi (Mel C and Jimmy Gulzar)

19. Coco (Courtney Cox and David Arquette)

20. Romeo (Victoria and David Beckham)

One of the things I loved most about my Puerto Rico trip was meeting both my boy cousins babies for the very first time. It made me hear my biological clock tick, and long with a yearning for… WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! WAA, WAA, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Um… nevermind.
Anyone who is even remotely thinking that they are ready, willing and able to handle children should baby-sit that lovely, adorable, and tantrum-filled baby pictured above. Don’t get me wrong. I completely adore her. She belongs to my cousin who’s wife (also my cousin now through marriage) had Mark Anthony. Never before have I seen a child so inquisitive. She wants to know about everything, and as I looked into those big, brown eyes of hers I could recognize yet another future Goddess Queen of the Universe. I was ecstatic when she took the very pictures I have above (okay she just pressed the button but still). I was elated when she started walking around the living room at age one, while holding on to nothing as she brimmed with confidence. I was entertained as she danced to the music from Lazy Town… but then her Mommy was admitted into the hospital, and the tantrum Olympics began. I love babys. I really do. But as young as I am, I especially love babies when I can give them back to their parents.

Movies-A-Go-Go:)
This weeks movies-a-go-go is focused solely on the first summer blockbuster hit Mission Impossible 3!!! If you want to start your Summer right, this movie is a must. If you overlook that whole annoying scientology/Oprah-couch-jump thing, Tom Cruise is still number one in action flicks. Revisiting his role as IMF Operative Ethan Hunt, the action-packed film is filled with action, suspense, and the best stunts since… well, since the last Mission Impossible. The only thing that made me say “hmmm” in a suspicious tone was the remarkable resemblance to Hunts love interest in the movie and Cruises real-life love Katie Holmes-Cruise. But, in the month of Gemini, what’s a couple of twins amongst friends… spooky.
