HOMECOMING!!!!!!

 
I'm sooooo glad Homecoming is OVER!! Words can not express how much of pain in the butt the entire process can be when you have a daughter 😒... She found a dress a few weeks back BUT because we are swamped at all times she waited too late to get it ordered.  Anywho needless to say we ordered this dress Monday (thank the Lord for Amazon Prime).  As you can see she looked BEAUTIFUL!!!!! And of course I did a dress count down... She's a Sophomore so 2 more Homecoming and 2 Prom dresses and I'M FREE!!!! No more damn dresses until she gets married which by then I might be ready. 
 
 
 Now my son is a different story all together...  As you can see he is NOT for the dressing up.  Not even a little bit!  He is the cute one on the pink shirt and jeans! LOL  He will however be wearing a tux to Prom this year like it or not.
 
And because I'm his mother how could not put his Jr. year football picture up.  I soooo love this kid! 
So what's HoCo without a little drama you ask???  While waiting on my son and his friends to pick AJ's date up and head down to the riverfront to take pictures before they went out to dinner we received a very scary phone call from his BFF (in the pink dress above) saying that they had been in a car accident.  Like any parent would her mother and I LOST IT! And raced to their aid.  When we got there I was expecting blood and body parts the way that girl was screaming, but in reality they were just shaken up.
 
They were two cars deep... the car in front of the kids slammed on his/her breaks out of nowhere causing Taya to slam on hers in order not to cause an accident.  When she did that their friend behind them slammed on hers, but it was too late.  She rear-ended Taya's grandmothers car. Long story short lots of dramatic tears and a police report later the kids were off to the dance in one piece!
 
This week like all weeks are jammed pack full of good times!
As much as I would love to tell you about all the other things moving and shaking my way.... I can't because well....
I'm every woman... It's all in meee! And I have to cook a late dinner! LOL

I was abused...

Ok. So while this is not my proudest moment in life due to a family member recently experiencing abuse is the reason why I think it's important for me to revisit my experience.  However, this will be short, because I prayed and promised that I would NEVER let this crap consume my life ever again. I spent 8 years with my abuser.  Not being raised in a household with both parents made me want that for my children so I lived with verbal and physical abuse to give them what I didn't have.  Imagine me a 22 year old young woman with 3 kids and no real idea of what this family dynamic was supposed to look like.  I was raised by loving grandparents, but they were old even when I was young, and didn't teach me what I needed to know about this kind of stuff.  I learned the hard way. I would always fight back which is why I think it lasted so long.  Just because you defend yourself doesn't make the abuse ok.  He's still a man and was stronger than me....

Teenagers for SALE

Where should I start.... Oh yeah! My kids are spoiled! And yes I know it's my fault... I was super spoiled the same way growing up so I guess a lot of how I am comes from that.  I also feel like I have to over compensate because the majority of their wants, and needs come from my household.  But sometimes I want to kick myself, because it's getting out of hand! I work very hard to provide for them and they see me working day and night to get done with school, take them here, there and everywhere in-between on top of going to work ect.... But does that register when they want something..... HELLLLLLL NOOOOOOO! I could have JUST sat down, and here they come and not with a "Hi Mom! How was your day" but with a "Moooommmm I need, I want, can I thins, can I that" OH yeah and YOU take us, because my friends parents aren't running us all over creation like you will because you don't want us out walking the streets after dark! I need to be on...

Welcome to Whatever this is...

I'm kinda scared that this might actually work, and that even after the class I'm doing this for in the first place is over I'll have to keep it going because my fans will demand more...

Mother Fiancée Daughter/ Daughter-In-Love (not law, I'm so much doper than that) Big Sister Bestie BAE (Best Aunt EVER) Cousin Employee/ Co-worker Child of God A Black Girl that ROCKS (Duh) And a bunch of other things to people I can't name right now, because I'm truly every woman!
