Well Looka Here!

Audition confirmation came, kinda hyped and nervous at the same time. I ran into this particular director when I was looking for casting work for a client I was working with last year. Who knew I would be asked to audition for their show. I got my sides and I am going to dive in. So much for not working before November. All I wanted to do was study and work until holiday rehearsals started. This is worth it, and the description sounds intriguing.

Just Say A Prayer

Saying a pray for all the low self esteemers. Stop trying to treat me badly because you hate yourself. I LOVE my life with or without your drama.

Let The Church Say Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not everyone who is single is lonely, not everyone who is taken is in love. I love my relationship situation, works for me lol!

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ok crunch time! Edits, Edits, Edits...RFP here we come. Babies are feed, clothes are washing, TV is off...time to get to typing. I hate the pressure of deadlines, but I do some of my best work under pressure and time constants. Ok Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'll talk to you later.

You Don't Really Love Him If...

I remember when she suggested I take him off child support. That would prove to her and him, that I was really over him. Sounded to me like she wanted to free up her man's cash flow. She was just short of telling me he should sign his rights away. Some people can be so selfish and self centered. Why would you ever try to take food off of a child's plate????

A Friend

Exactly!

Resourcefulness

Resourcefulness is a good trait to have. I was able to snag some uniform pants from the thrift store for my lil one. Momma will redye them and then take them to the cleaners to have them double starched. All that's left is school supplies and some brand new shirts. You have to do what you have to do when you are on a budget and if you're not...why not try and save some money anyway. So parents...be resourceful!! If you don't have it and your money has to be placed in other areas...think of ways like I did with the thrift store to save. My car leaks on the inside and overheats...so my money is placed elsewhere. It's important for me to make sure the lil one has a great summer, food on the table and all the bills paid, so shopping smart helps.

Thank God the guy that looks at my car came by , I know he won't kill me on price and I'll still be able to take my baby somewhere cool. When you have bills and kids, you can only do your best in preparing for anything. Folks who don't have kids...just ignore them..."they ain't about that life", and have not a leg to stand on...all they will be able to give is examples of what they have seen others do...but have never actually do the work themselves.

Parents, if you are trying to save money and want to do something nice for yourself. Go to the Hair School instead of the salon...or do like I do and get with your friends and do each others hair...works for me. I called myself treating myself to getting my hair done for Mother's Day...spent $100.00. The hair was super fab...but I knew going forward I could not keep that up financially. Called my homegirl who braids her booty off...paid her $25.00 and finished up myself...WHALAH!

I encourage you , parents or not to be resourceful. Perhaps one day, I will use my thrifty ways to finally take a real vacation somewhere warm and on a tropical island with an umbrella in my drink as I watch the lil one play in the sand. Until that time, work and school.....pressing for a better tomorrow.

Today Was...

Disappointing from a professional, emotional, verbal and mental standpoint. Not for me but for a colleague. All I can do is pray for a better tomorrow ,and the words I left them with will help them move forward in a more productive way.  Managing people has it's ups and downs...today was a down. There is a true disconnect between  our youth and our more seasoned generation. In my staff meetings I continually drive home the point of "making a positive impact" on the lives of our young people, It is imperative to not just their future but ours.

I hate having to feel torn about disciplining my staff, because I know that some days will be good and some days will be bad...today was really, really bad. Today was a misstep and I am just thankful that I did not have to let them go. Please Lord, allow them to leave their stress and troubles at home and do their best for our kids.

Phew

Classes are picked out just about...goodness I always get so nervous around this time. Now I will really start on my lil one's schedule even though it's pretty much done...I've tailored mine to revolve around his. With kids you sacrifice, it's not about what works for you, it's about what works for them. So if you're trying to go party, vacation, hang out with friends...you better make sure they are covered first. I don't do ANYTHING without making sure my lil one is covered. I wish all parents did that...but hey that would be too much like right. Raising him alone has definitely taught me some things, and I am so thankful.

Who knew I could do it...well God knew. I never thought I couldn't when I first got pregnant....but then having some help from my family and friends certainly lightened the load and still does. We all work together to make sure things work...it takes a village. I was scared out my mind, but then as time, schedule and determination kicked in....we were operating in full swing. I still am able to see him off to school, get to work, make it to class, make it home, help with his and do my own homework, dinner, shower and bed....that's an average day. We still manage to have fun weekends when money and transportation permits...sometimes together and sometimes apart. I am really blessed, sometimes I don't deserve it, but God still makes it happen. No sick days for Mommies, too much work to be done...but I don't mind, I am just thankful for being able to see another day and the strength to get through it. Amen

Truth Be Told

Truth is I did sleep with him....and it was amazing. When you're at work, away on business, visiting friends and family on vacation... and I will do it again. I don't care about your feelings, what you think you have with him, what you're building or think you're building, it is just as good as it was when we first met. I don't care about you, could care less .  I wouldn't sit there because we did it there too.

Juggle Juggle

Heart Break

Sorry about the loss of any life, especially a child. R.I.P. Kile Foster, praying for Tameka Foster and all parents who have to bury their children.

Judging for No Reason

If someone "Hates" you for no reason......give those idiots a reason.

Idiot!

Oh I am pointing it out, and it is unacceptable for you to act like an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Relations

Sex with the ex.....so much better when your not technically together....hummmm

Where Are Your Priorities Terrell..And The Rest Of You Losers??

Some people think it's ok to not support their kids. They have money to support their cars, prostitutes, women/groupies, lavish trips, drugs and alcohol ...but can't pay their child support. Where are your priorities??? If you can't pay to support your child you need not have access to all of the mentioned above. LOSER! I say put them under the jail.

Storm

The lil person can't sleep...I don't blame him, the storm is pretty fierce.

The Little Ones

Ok, my lil one says to me..."Momma I'm in love with you", me..."Oh baby I'm in love with you too." Then he proceeds to ask me can I but him a dinosaur and he can live outside because it'll be too big to fit into our building. Hilarious!!

My Second Home, Always Good Times

I forgot to take a picture of the crowd at the opening of the museum...I know I suck lol.
