The mother who says having these two children is the biggest regret of her life!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2303588/The-mother-says-having-children-biggest-regret-life.html#ixzz2PuPJefdS
Wow! Talk about being honest about your feelings. Even after reading this article though I don't get it....I feel sad for her children and mostly I feel sad for her. Don't get me wrong I respect everyone's decision but some of her statements contradict themselves. If you don't want to be a parent then don't be simple! Parenting isn't for everyone there's nothing wrong with that.
I speak honestly when I've had moments or even days where my children have driven me crazy and I've wanted to be alone on an island somewhere (don't we all) but it's just that a quick thought......
She says she fulfilled her job and did it well. Honestly I think she failed!
This one is a sure must read for all!

Miami Dade Public Library System - Library News!
It’s April, which can only mean one thing for the Miami-Dade Public Library System…it’s time for the 13th annual International Art of Storytelling! There’s an exciting line up of events and programs for people of all ages – be sure to check out the fun! Did you know that each year, the Library System partners with a library from another country in an effort to share and explore each other’s customs and cultures? We are proud to announce that the 2013 international exchange partner is the Bibliotecas de la Comunidad de Madrid in Madrid, Spain.
What better way to share your stories than live at the mic? If you have a personal story to share we want to hear from you! Visit the Teen Events page to find a branch near you!
Grab a blanket and enjoy a captivating evening of stories from around the world! Sharing tall tales and folklore are renowned storytellers Mama Koku, Carrie Sue Ayvar and Lela Lombardo. In honor of this year’s exchange partner, there will be a Flamenco performance by Gyspy Cat on the beautiful grounds of the Deering Estate. Visit the Family Events page for more information.
ART EXHIBITION
As part of the 13th annual International Art of Storytelling program, the Miami-Dade Public Library System presents Once Upon a Time in Almeria by Mark Parascandola from April 26 - June 3, 2013 on the second floor exhibition space in the Main Library – 101 West Flagler Street. The series of photographs captures the region of Almeria, Spain which was host to dozens of filmmakers who, during the 1960s and 1970s, constructed elaborate movie sets, invoking locations from the American Southwest to Bedouin Arabia. For more information about this and other exhibitions, visit Art at the Library.
