11/6/2023 ~ Back to school for the Kid

It’s late, 12:56am and in hours back to school for the Kid. She’s as ready as she’s going to be. She put her bag together, I ironed her shirt & pants and set my alarm for 7am. It’s her senior year and it’s not the start she wanted, but it’s the one she created. Now let me go to bed and get some sleep. Later y’all!

10/25/23 ~ back on my DBP ish

This is EXHAUSTING!!! How many times must I see, hear or witness my own coming for my own? I don’t like repeating anything, but this I will. Y’all keep acting like we’re a united front…..we aren’t. Y’all keep saying let’s support black owned businesses….y'all don’t unless you get a discount or freebie. Why is it so easy to look the other way towards your own but ok for those that DGAFAYBA??? # isaidwhatisaid

10/23/23 ~ Dear women, but specifically Black women

Look if you don’t know I’m equal opportunity. I come for all but especially my own people. Yeah, y’all not exempt and Black women especially make me wanna scream. Mainly when it comes to our hair. How do you even form outlandish comments regarding natural hair towards children? We still in this natural hair fight and y’all out here leaving comments on anothers hair more specifically beautiful black girls. Stop and look in your mirror because it’s that person causing you pain. Sheesh, y’all exhau...

10/20/23 ~ I got nothing right? Nope

We’re in senior year and she’s not on course for graduation on paper. So it’s testing time. When you play follow the leader this is what happens. Since I’ve known this child I’ve always stressed stop following others. The result of that is you will either get left behind or have to play catchup. Pray for my sanity, but I won’t let her fall. K bye!

10/20/23 ~ here’s a listen to my Celtic Cross spread

I’m giving you a listen to my Celtic Cross spread by Destiny aka Dez or as I refer to her as babygurl! This gives me insight into what’s going on in my life, my new normal. Why I feel like I’m being pulling in multiple directions. Why I feel at times I'm not doing my best and just feeling stressed beyond stressed. I knew I was do for a reading and boy was it on point. Enjoy or not. K bye!

10/19/23 ~ Social Media & opinionated folks

Now don’t get it twisted, cause I'm opinionated when it’s relevant. This whole situation I needed to speak on kinda but only because it’s fresh and in my head. Humanity is fickled. We feel the need to mind others business but not our own. We feel it’s our place to place judgement, hold folks in contempt, slander, etc. I know my life barely makes sense to me. So why would I entertain anyone passing judgement? I’m not. Stay in your lane cause mine’s taken . K bye!

10/17/23 ~ got my cards read and…..

When I say it was on point, it was on point. As you know or maybe you don’t my life is in chaos. Not as much as in the beginning, but I’m still on GO daily. I DM’d my girl because I was overdo for a reading and knew I needed guidance. Hell I also need a therapist, but I’m not there yet. One thing at a time, one thing at a time. Thanks babygurl! 🤎

Testing a new mic and touching on current events

There’s a conflict happening in Israel and I wish I could talk about it, but I can’t. I can’t because I don’t enough about it and how it came to be. What I will do is read up on it, because I want to know. Everything that happens in this World will affect all of us in some way. Don’t think we as a people are exempt. Please click the link below and get your read on. Knowledge is power! K bye! https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/israel-palestine-conflict-timeline-history-explained/ https://a...

10/12/23 ~ the Jada Pinkett-Smith shit tour

Look I was a fan of Jada back in the day of Set it Off and A Different World. But her marriage to Will not so much. Celebrities know how to play to the masses. They show you cute kids, clean aesthetics, glam, exotic trips and mega mansions. All that’s glitz & glam doesn’t make for a happy household or life. K bye! https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/11/arts/jada-pinkett-smith-will-smith-separate.html...

10/8/23 ~ the Kid getting a boot lesson

Yes, I had to school the kid on boots. Does she not see all the boots I have? Well she does know I have an Ugg/Doc Marten collection. Don’t judge me, it’s my vice. Lol! Anywho, enjoy this craziness! K bye!

Hello Friday it’s been a while since we last spoke. Lol! Anywho, it’s an mosh pit of updates. A little of this and a little of that. Catching you up on the Kid ( s ) and myself somewhat. A huge cheers to the weekend, cause I’m tired. Y’all be safe out there!!! K bye!

10/6/23 - it’s the after dark edition

So I’m a night owl! I go to bed super late, but right now I need some sleep. Here I am lying here listening to a dude fussing on his phone with his laundry. Yup, a big bag of laundry. The million dollar question is does he even live here? Does she live here? Where is an air horn when you need one. On that note goodnight all and he’s out…nope he’s not! K bye!

9/6/23 ~ Back to School

Well now ( 9/7 ) it’s officially back to school here on the east coast. Excuse me for posting this late. Right now it’s after midnight. It’s quiet, barely traffic in these streets and no chatter from the birds. Later after a good nights sleep I’ll hear the kids walking thru the complex. The kid won’t be partaking as of now. She’s still rehabbing that ankle. My hope for her and all the kids returning to school is that they have a productive and safe year. Ok let me get some sleep…..k bye!...

I was todays year old when…..

while watching Netflix Ladies First: A Story of Women in Hip Hop I found out Dr Dre brutally assaulted Dee Barnes. How he chalked it up to a blemish in his past and gave a half ass apology. We celebrated 50 years of Hip Hop and I bet he was smiling like a Cheshire cat. I’ll say this again if you still feel the need to vilify Breezy you better vilify those before him just the same. Nobody gets a pass, especially not a grownass man. Bye! https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/posts/la-et-ms-s...

Stop traumatizing our Black children

An article stated the 12 yr old was at the wrong place wrong time. No that’s not correct. He was at the right place but unfortunately the wrong time. When has taking out the trash turned into a whole ass police department swooping down on a 12 yr old? We don’t look the same or fit the description. If that’s true, use it for ALL not for some.

Montgomery, Alabama: Thank you

First off before y’all get all twisted…I don’t condone violence. But there are times when violence has to be met with violence. We’ve all heard the phrase Fuck around and find out. What I’m thinking is they thought folks were going to mind their business. They were sadly mistaken. Montgomery you did us Proud. You came to the aid of one of your own. If you’re angry, you’re the problem. Did you not learn to keep your hands to yourself? K bye! https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/08/07/montgo...

The TWENTY year old

This morning before I started my day I wanted to talk a little about the 20 yr old. She’s not the main character in my new normal, but she is a piece to the puzzle. To say having them both is hard, is an understatement. But we’re making it work. K bye!

7/6/23 ~ The Accident

Time to catch y’all up on current events aka my life! The kid was hit by a car and thanks to the all mighty above she’s still here. She caught a lesson that didn’t have to happen. I’m just glad she finally sees or understands what I’ve been telling her. No good comes with believing you’re invincible and the streets are your safe haven. Now let’s get through this healing process. K bye!!

Affirmative Action…..what?

Are we not sick and tired of being sick and tired…..yet? What more do they need to do before y’all wake the fuck up? I’m sure their laundry list is long asf, so y’all better buckle up. If you think they’re going to stop at education, you’re sadly mistaken.

Heyyy! Just a little update to catch y’all up with things. We’re still finding our footing. Still bumping heads, but making a little progress. We’re almost three months in, but still a long way to go. I got this, even though at times I feel I don’t….but I know I do! Give a listen and I’ll catch ya when I catch ya! K bye!

Not about to battle this Kid

This child is acting like I’m someone new to the block. I know my role has changed, but me as a person has not. I’m not going to force her to see the good that’s right in her face. She will be 18 come November and I’m only obligated to get her thru high school. After that she can live the life she wants. Do I love her yes, with all my heart, but don’t get me twisted….sistah. K bye!

Why y’all still fat shaming Lizzo??

Word is Lizzo is thinking of quitting music along with making her social media accounts private. I don’t agree with either as it’s caving to the masses, but I get all this constant fat shaming is taking a toll. What needs to be addressed is that it comes from women. With all the stuff women have to battle, why are we still shaming our own counterpart? K bye!

6/1/23 - it’s been two months

It’s been two months and this Saturday will be 3 weeks that the girls relocated upstairs. It’s still a work in progress. My apartment now has two more individuals. Two individuals who lived differently. Two individuals who have a lot to learn. I’m dealing with that and now boss issues. I literally need time to catch my breath from all the chaos. K bye!

5/10/23

I recorded this yesterday but forgot to post. That was yesterday and today’s a new day. Last night me and the girls talked about stuff. …..life, school, college, therapy, etc. This new chapter is a lot for all of us, but we have to come together. K bye!

Trigger warning: They didn’t hit me, but wanted too

This was my Sunday and it wasn’t a funday. The 19 yr old texted me in distress. So I went to check on her & her sister. The biologicals answered the door full on attitude and you can listen to all that transpired. I filed a complaint with the police as a backup going into this week. Keys are to be turned in come Friday! K bye!

Me, the girls and uncharted waters

Just a little update of sorts of what’s happening with me and the girls. They’re still in their apartment until d-day. That day is 5/12 where they’ll leave the apartment they were raised in. Again, if you take away anything please let it be to get your ducks in a row. Especially if there’s family strife. K bye!

I’ve cried an ocean…….

and then some over this past week. We don’t get to pick our parents or family members. Some hit the jackpot of all jackpots and others like the girls don’t. Last Friday little miss sunshine chose me over those that never cared about her. Actually they didn’t care about their own moms wellbeing. Don’t be that family. Hash things out or just say peace out and don’t look back. K bye!

A little about the girls

To see them you’d never know how their story began. We all have a story good, bad and ugly but it doesn’t have to define who we are. I’m always telling little miss sunshine she can rewrite her story. Also, that she can be a better version of herself. These girls have a tough road ahead, but they have each other and me. Thanks for listening. Please donate if you can and thanks! https://gofund.me/e1977e23

Are your ducks in a row??

Meaning do you have a Will? Do you have a POA ( power of attorney)? I’m going to get it done and so should you. Surrogate and her late husband didn’t have one and here we are today. They have nothing but each other and no means of financial support and that includes family. It’s a sad state of affairs and I’m doing all I can for them. Get your stuff in order….please. Here’s a gofundme I setup for the girls. Thanks! https://gofund.me/e1977e23...

Mass school shootings kill 175 to date

That number represents those who have been killed since Columbine to Nashville Tennessee. That number does not include the perpetrators. Stop shouting about it’s your 2nd Amendment right, because that’s not what this fight is about. Nobody is coming for your guns. We need laws to prevent those with mental health issues to obtain them. We need laws across all states for background checks. Enough with the loopholes, because childrens lives are being cut short. https://apnews.com/article/nashville-...
