Dear Family, You Kinda Suck

This is more for me than for you readers so sorry in advance. 

Every since our Grandmother passed, a while back, it's like pulling teeth to get all of you in the same house for a holiday.No one wants to host, no one wants to cook, no one wants to drive,like WTH!  I'm not sure what the hell is your issue, but I'm sick of this. I live out of state and it's hard enough on me not to see my mother when I want! BUT when I come home, I want you all in one house, eating, laughing and creating memories. YOU HAVE TWO SIDES TO YOUR FAMILY!! People get so caught up in what they are doing in their household, they tend to forget that cousins are suppose to be your first best friends, uncles are who you get the "boys" talk with and sports updates, that you aunts are always gossiping about back in the day ,that we both have the same scar on our knees because we fell off the bike together! That nobody cooks red velvet like one of your aunts, that your cousin is hilarious for no reason, that your dads/moms face lights up whenever the entire family is around each other. It seems like the only time families get together is to say Good Bye to someone. You get so caught up in all this material shat and forget about what really matters! I shouldn't have to watch your kids grow up via FB. I should be able to see your children out and them recognize my face and know we are related. Yes we get mad at each other, that happens, but we never leave each other standing alone. No one will ever help you fight a battle like family. I'm getting older and soon I'll have children. I want them to know each and every last one of you guys. I can't do that if you only visit your mom/dad side of the family every holiday. So suck it up! I don't know who your mad at, and I don't care why you are mad. You better get over it because no one knows the day nor the hour one of us will be taking our last breath. The fact that I extended an invitation and NONE of you replied has pissed me off that I don't WANT to see you. I know my grandmother is rolling over in her grave at how you all are, but I will continue to push this pitiful family together until it works!

Check On Your Friends

So I had this whole blog written out in the shower about 30 minutes ago. For some strange reason I have been staring at this screen for 10 minutes with nothing to type. First let's talk about me, then we'll talk about you. Many of you do not follow me on social media but I am currently 37 weeks pregnant, still married, with a 20 month old. This second baby was NOT planned and honestly threw me into a world wind of emotions from day one when I found out. You can really prepare everything you need/want for your baby but still not be mentally ready. I, for one, am just now starting to get there. For the past few months I have been struggling with depression. I mean it was really bad. I didn't talk about it with anyone because honestly I did not want to hear any of the following : 1. You need to just go to church and pray about it. - FYI mental health is not something your pastor can scripture away. 2. You aren't the first person to have two babies back to back. - I

If It Were You, Would You Be Proud

I don't really know how to start this post, but ya'll rock with me so just let me have a moment. I love to blog but I am having time management issues with everything going on in my life. It doesn't make me money so it kind of goes on the back burner even though I love to do it. My small home town had a double homicide yesterday. I'm not listing names or locations because I respect the privacy of everyone in that situation. With a sad heart, my mind began to race with thoughts of "if this happened to me, have I lived the life I wanted?" Because it can happened to any of us. I live in Stone Mountain, GA and although my block is very quiet, little to no children on the block, just a few weeks ago my husband and I came home to a road full with police, fire department trucks, ambulance vans and cars everywhere. We still don't know what happened down there. I work for myself. My husband and I started a few businesses together and each of them has there se

Who's Cooking Nah?

Who started this cooking for your man is something that only wives do and not girlfriends? Do ya'll smoke crack? I'm convenience you early-mid 20 somethings smoke crack. I've seen a meme rolling around social media where the man says he wants to see his girl like this (she's cooking in underwear ... which leads to a whole 'notha story. Like I hope she not frying NATHAN!! Because baby bout to get burnt up trying to be cute.) and the girl replies "this is wife level package, you can upgrade your girlfriend package by buying a ring. He couldn't be me. STARVE THEN BIH! Listen .... follow me umkay? 1. NONE OF YA'LL (me included) makes enough money to eat at a restaurant everyday where the food is that damn bomb! Like you gone be eating Applebee's happy hour on the 4th day! AAANNDDDD ain't NOBODY trying to take yo bap ass out to eat EVERYDAY. Hoe I got bills to pay! Say it with me now ... I'mmmm oooonnnn aaaaaaa bbbuuuddddggggeeettt!!!
