Hey y’all! This is a mashup of all things from this election year, that clown former president, Fani Willis, Amanda Seales & black spaces, my life and my sister’s impending wedding ( which I’m emotional about). It’s a catchup of sorts and things I want to dive into. So buckle up! K bye!

3/1/24 - I need to meet these young men
Last night the girls got chatty. We were all over the map ( not literally the map ). So before I could finally segway into wrapping this up dudes entered the chat. Now one dude I know of but haven’t met ( yet ). But wait the Kid has a random dude bff…huh? Guess who wants a meet & greet? Lol! They scared imma ask 20 questions. Too funny, but imma have fun until this happens. K bye!

2/22/24 - ReesaTeesa who?
First let me correct myself cause it’s ReesaTeesa not RessaTessa…lol!! It’s a story for the books, Tyler Perry, Netflix or Lifetime, but it’s 50 parts I can’t commit too. She hit the jackpot of all jackpots without playing the lottery. Her story is relatable for all those looking for love, marriage and babies. Now I’d say give it a listen, but don’t pass judgement. She’s already done that…..learn from her. We all put on blinders ( men & women ). Remember no one is PERFECT, no one. K bye!

2/10/24 - Reflection
I’ve been reflecting on & off for weeks now regarding my life. Mainly, about how it’s changed. The traumatizing event of surrogates death and soon it’ll be one whole year. The Kid growing up and the other still trying to find her place. I’m sure come 4/1 I’ll sum up that year. K bye!

2/9/24 - OMG she looks gorgeous
Today is senior picture day for the Kid. It was like a proud parent moment and I’m not her parent. I’m not ready, but I am ( not really ). I know come graduation day I’m going to be a crying mess for a whole lot of reasons. I love that Kid! K bye!!

1/29/24 - Kid got a septum piercing
The day finally came and the Kid got her septum piercing and a tattoo to boot. Look she’s 18 and it’s her body. I’m not about to block her, but I do have my limits. Besides I have many tattoos. lol! Saturdays outing was with her dentist bff who also got her septum pierced. It was cool and a fun afternoon. Oh and yeah, I got a tat. K byeeee!

1/26/24 - It’s Friday let’s gooooooo
Recapping the week as it’s been eventful. I’m recapping that life is life’ing, stress, the Kid, Oscar still White, POC hair still an issue, this Presidential election year, etc. Still trying to figure out how to do me with all I got going on, but I’ll figure it out. Peace out and stay safe….K bye!

1/25/24 - 10 yr old, Bumble….
We are failing our kids. I say we because don’t we say “ It takes a village “? How does a 10 yr old leave her home at 9pm? How does a 23 yr old upon meeting feel it’s ok to sexually assault a child? A Bumble account was made…by whom that hasn’t come out. Dating apps require you be 18+ to open an account. Parents stop being your kids friends and parent. Kids are out here having kids, acting like adults and navigating this world with no guidance. Pray for that child and others like her. https://nypost.com/2024/01/24/metro/sicko-busted-in-nyc-rape-of-10-year-old-girl-he-met-on-bumble-sources/

1/24/24 - Stress on fleek
Yes, my stress is on an all time high and I’m hitting the gym more. So now I need to slow my roll…meaning take rest days. Not a day but days. I will because I really don’t need another person saying am I losing weight. Life is Life’ing and I'm not about to lose control over my well being. I’m good, so no worries. K bye!

1/17/24 - Iowa caucuses, Nikki Haley, racism, etc
It’s time I dive into the political circus of this coming presidential election. Now don’t get me wrong this circus is on both sides. Just more of a circus on the other with the puppet master leading his minions. This is all going to come down to YOU the people choosing right vs wrong and/or good vs evil. No one person is PERFECT so stop thinking so. They all LIE, but whose lies can you live with? Click the link below for more on Nikki Haley.

1/7/24 - She said Yes!
That she is not me. Lol! It’s my sister, my one & only and my true blue bestie! She’s getting married and yesterday we went into NYC for her to say yes to a dress. There’s no going to a million shops. For us it’s a one & done. We came, we saw and we conquered! Now it’s time to pick a date, get a venue and get this party started. Woot woot!

Happy new year! I’m back, it’s a new year and I’ll be popping in and around life, the girls, world news, social injustices, the upcoming presidential election and all the shenanigans I can muster up.

12/31/23 ~ Year end recap and it’s emotional
2023 is coming to an end and its been a shit show for a lot of reasons. I did my year end blog post. Started it yesterday and finished it after my workout this afternoon. I was an emotional mess then and still now. This was not the year I expected, but it’s what I got. Listen to my crying ass in this episode and click the link below to read my blog post. In closing, I wish nothing but a better 2024 for you all. Thanks for tuning in and they’ll be more come 2024! K bye! https://wp.me/p5Ofr2-l1

12/27/23 ~ Was I the Grinch?
Be careful what you ask for, because the universe hears and will deliver. 2023 is going out with a bang and I hope we get on a better playing field come 2024. Christmas should have been a happy occasion for both but it wasn’t. She got a dose of ask and you shall receive. Unfortunately she’ll learn but it’s going to be the hard way. K bye!

12/8/23 ~ police, stun guns and POC
Todays episode is a day later and a dollar short. As I continue to voice, police brutality against black and brown people has not stopped. Here are two of I’m sure many incidents I’m highlighting today. Give a listen ( or not ) and click the links. Something has to give, because this right here is becoming or is the norm.

12/4/23 ~ You are not your sisters keeper
The Kid feels she needs to protect her sisters heart from heartbreak ( we ain’t there yet ) and to stop her from experiencing life as a 20 yr old. Mainly, because it’s putting her on the back burner. The Kid has been a caregiver since I’ve known her. She has to release that, because it should have never been her job. They both have life to live and experiences to learn. Buckle up cause y’all on this with me. Lol! K bye!
S2 E69 · Sat, December 02, 2023
12/2/23 ~ can you give me words to make me feel better
That’s part of a long text the 20 yr old sent me yesterday. She needed to talk and asked if she could call me. She never has to ask, all she needs to do is call. The call lasted 2hr 27 mins and I think the last hr & 27 mins was all her. She’s fighting a demon ( her mom ) and holding onto trauma. Something I know her, the kid and myself need help with. 2024 we’ll work on that. K bye!

12/1/23 ~ Pick your poison
I say pick your poison, because with all the turmoil that’s happening in and around the world it’s hard. One of my poisons ( cause I have many ) is the NFL. With this new incident it continues to show me no change is being made. I will continue to Stand With Kap and if you continue to feel he’s unpatriotic lawd you’re sadly mistaken. But hey do you, cause I’ll always do me. K bye! https://abcnews.go.com/Sports/nfl-star-von-miller-arrest/story?id=105293362

11/25/23 ~ Pandoras Box has reopened
The Cassie vs Diddy lawsuit got y'all splitting lines. Got y’all questioning her motives. Got y’all saying it’s a money grab, but wait y’all silent sorta regarding Diddy. Why? Cassie was 19, Diddy was 37….we not talking about that? Allegedly Misa ( first baby mama ) was 17 when she met Diddy, but had their son at 20 yrs old. Stop vilifying women for the things grown ass men are doing. Sheesh! https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/diddy-cassie.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_Survivors_Act

11/20/23 ~ She got gifts
So the Kid turns 18 in two days and my supervisor sent her gifts. We all know what it means to get gifts for any occasion, but for the Kid this is new. She’s now part of a family that has traditions and does gifts. There’s no age limit, no cutoffs. So she’s getting excited and I’m excited for her. Bring on the gifts! K bye!!

S2 E61 · Tue, November 07, 2023
11/7/23 ~ Did ya VOTE?????
It’s Election Day and I hope you rocked the vote. Let’s be clear a non vote is a vote. Laws are changing and rights are being stripped away. If you feel one vote can’t change anything you’re sadly mistaken. But a non vote changes a lot. Let that marinate in your brain. K bye! # govote

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 exhausting.
S2 E57 · Sat, October 21, 2023
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!

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! 🤎

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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-mass-school-shooting-database-columbine-uvalde-1c82749f7236752a2e621f402489b357 https://apple.news/AN9wL_J0VQS6hILbqZdsAPg

Jacob Harris: Say his name
He was only 19 yrs old, but he was a son and someones father. He’s another black man killed by police for running away. Video proves that but yet police got off saying they were justified and feared for their lives. Read the article and watch or don’t watch the video. Police brutality must stop. We can’t keep sitting by silently talking about what needs to be done. # enoughisenough https://apple.news/A8B5QX8H6SPev2npLeIcptw

Don’t sleep on Five Guys fries
So I googled Five Guys, because I wanted to know if it was founded by five guys and it actually was. Founded in 1986 ( Arlington VA ) by a husband & wife who had 4 sons at the time. So it was initially run by dad and his 4 sons ( Five Guys ). Two years later they had a fifth son. It’s run by the sons and the parents are still involved. Gotta love a thriving family business. So drop down and get your google on. Lol!

I’m not talking about your personal life/self. I’m talking about things, material or otherwise. Places to travel and where to stay. I’m talking about life history, good, bad & ugly.

If that ain’t the pot calling the kettle BLACK!!
Y’all still going to vilify a man who was physically assaulted on live television for all to see? Where’s the outrage for the assault? There isn’t any because y’all still saying he deserved to be SLAPPED to this day. Black people can assault each other and look the other way. It’s not your business unless that assault was from a non black person then you want justice. Stop saying you want equal opportunities and pay. Stop saying you want justice for all, not for some.

Tyre Nichols: more disturbing details
Not only is there video there’s also photos taken by one of the five rogue cops. So beating him to death wasn’t enough. One felt he needed to pull out his personal phone and take pics.

Keenan Anderson also loss his life at the hands of cops. Just not of the black persuasion as far as I know. This too was a traffic incident. The difference here is he was tased in the back for over 90 seconds. “Two LAPD officers held him down, one with an elbow on his neck, then a knee dug into his back while he was handcuffed, and another cop stood over him with a Taser gun.” You can read the article for the rest…. https://theintercept.com/2023/01/17/keenan-anderson-toxicology-lapd/
