Tacky Tuesdays

        I live in a Urban area I see more than enough ignorant occurrences. The most ignorant that, I see are weak women. I grew up in a partially single parent household. My mother married when I was 14. I never saw my mother cry even though I knew she did I did not witness it. She raised me to not cry in public.

      My mother made it happen by any means necessary,where she went I went, and where I went she did as well. We been through some things but I never knew it. Not until I was old enough for my mother to sit me down, and talk to me about it I was 21.

     Now in 2016 there is a fair group of mothers who do the DAMN THANG! at any cost. THEN there's the other. I wish I could make the words smaller than that. Those who choose men over their children, material things, drugs, money etc. etc. YALL MAKE ME SICK!

     To top it off these be the same bitches walking around like they Queen of Sheba. BITCH BYE!!!! IF YOU DON"T GET YA LIFE!! in the words of Tamar Braxton. Just because you have ovaries does not mean you should procreate and it's the same for the SLIMY ASS wanna be called DADDY BUMS. I'm too Baked.

Messy Madness Facial Gone Wrong!

So over the week end my daughter started her DYI's she began with egg whites and tissue paper. She's impatient and refused to wait to go to a craft store before beginning so she used toilet tissue. I like to let her be a mad scientist so, toilet tissue it was LOL. It had the same effect She then went a step further with her madness and put green food coloring in it, which I don't think benefits nor harms the skin. She's 11 whatever, we watched this tutorial on YouTube: Beauty By Josie she's really funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pxgQiFERRs . I don't believe what I hear so I had to research it myself before letting her do it. This is what I found: http://www.thedermreview.com/egg-white-mask/ I think I'll be doing it properly this weekend minus the food dye. I think it's better to use home remedies rather than buying products. I believe once you start using products you have to continue to use them. That's to much revenue on something you could achieve yourself for FREE.  I forgot! Outside the process of facials, and me watching The Revenant with the lovely Leonardo DiCaprio. As I was hypnotized and the movie was epic. I burned her chocolate chip cookies. She was upset but quickly recovered with ice cream.  Had a blast!!!

FAIL!!!! "She was not happy"

When The Ones You Love Most Show True Colors

       Let's talk about people whom we love, that profess to love us back yet in trying times, the truth peeks from behind lying lines.

     You go out of your way to help someone, who gave you their ass to kiss when life benefited them. You put the terms on the table and they agreed. Yet when the curtains open they get stage fright. Nowadays there is no such thing as being honorable,the majority speak breathless lies, all ways trying to find a way to juke you.

     Only thing is I'm not the correct person to pull this shit on. I have 3 children. I'm obligated to and more than gratefully blessed to care for. I don't fuck around when it comes to my children. Now with that being said, you jive with my money your jiving with my children. "Your standing in the way of me providing for my children." You have instantly made an enemy of me.

     In hard and trying times, when you have to be a friend. You find you are in all actuality friendless. When trying your best to be the bigger person, giving someone the benefit of doubt but all signs and road ways are showing you the opposite. In the end your the fool. Dear friend I Loved you boundlessly, yet I love my children, morale, and self respect 1000,000,000 times more. I refuse to be played like a baby grand.

     I show my love, not speak it. If not and when reciprocated I too shall love no more....  There are many who claim their love for their children and others. Yet their actions dance the devils dance. I LOVE MY CHILDREN. For them, their happiness and livelihood ALL TIES WILL BE BROKEN
True Colors.......

Not a fan of profanity but.... ( Early Saturday Mornings)

      Sometimes plain ole latin doesn't cut it. People and their bullshit make me sick. Boiler point of my day, that made me say fuck everything and everyone. I had a PTO meeting I start dinner steak, cream style corn, and the intention was white rice. An hour later that all changed. How? I went to the PTO meeting at 6:20 p.m. I stayed until 7:00 .p.m.. I get back in and begin dinner, no I didn't leave the food unattended.
     My mom's ready too go, " I tell her I'll walk you to the bus. My steak is slow cooking as well as the cream style corn. My best friend is on the sofa, it's 8:30 p.m..
 I walk my mom to the bus stop I say "Ma I hope she don't let my food burn." She says "NOooo she wouldn't do that". The bus comes at 8:36 p.m. I run back home my house is literally 1 minute away from the bus stop.
      Guess what? "SHE LET MY MOTHER FUCKING FOOD BURN! THEN HAS THE AUDACITY TO SAY.... "Why didn't you tell me the corn was on. Now I smelled the burned steak from the door. You had to see it, she caught the steak before it burned too bad.  The onions beneath the steak took the beating they were so burnt that, if not knowing how to clean properly. One would have to scrape and and scratch the pan damaging it. So once I got rid of the burnt food and saved the steak from tasting burnt with some good ole silver. I quickly made some corn on the cob with salad and fed my children.  
Once I saw that my children were sated I decided ok "now I'll eat". Now visualize for me. I gave the largest portion of steak to the children, the remained is the little bit left around the bone.Maybe 3/4 from the bone. I share it with my best friend. My daughter asks for more salad, I let her and ask her to put my food in the microwave.
      My daughter takes too long to bring my plate back. So I retrieve it my self andddddd.... Someone "ATE MY STEAK!" From the table to the microwave, no one knew who so. I guess the microwave grew teeth and ate the steak as it warmed up. WOOOOOSAAAAAAH.I retreated to my room and stayed until Shelia came and took me to get some food and have some good laughs. I feel better now. Thanks for listening when I need to vent freely.

Thanks Shelia I Love You!

Sunday Single Mom Issues (I lost a virtual friend)

So I opted out of the Children & Religion topic. I received a lot of negative feedback and even lost a follower on my Twitter account. I feel like people shouldn't be so closed minded. I mean it's 2016, open up a little and except that everyone has different religious views and moral values. So I ask  what would you all like to talk about?..... I'll hold my breathe. I'm interested in topics: video suggestions; product reviews, you know things your interested in. Hit me up let me know.

No Mommy Time (Not Today!!)

The children are off to school and the house is quiet. I woke up this morning to offer my Salat and I thought... When I was done I was going to enjoy watching Tom and Jerry & drinking my hot cup of java... 5 minutes after sitting down, posting my video, and minding my business drinking my coffee. I hear little feet on the stairs. It's the 2 year old why is she up at 6 a.m.? She isn't supposed to be up for another hour. So of course she took over the t.v., drank my coffee and then spit it back in the cup because it was "Ewwwww NASTY!" followed with a "Sorry Mama". It's so adorable how could I be upset. So I ended up watching Ebee's Adventures and drinking OJ. There's no such thing as mommy time when the children are in the house. Now I wait for the weekend! NANA"S COMING!!!!!

Harsh Reality

Are You Prepared? For what......DEATH. Have you spoken with your children. Prepared them for the unexpected. "It'll never happen....." HOW DO YOU KNOW?" I had a horrible dream. I've always been told if you die in you dream you die in real life. It was earth shattering. 😟 I realized that, I am not prepared, nor have I prepared my children for my demise. Who will pay for my funeral? How will my children live without me? .... This for me is the UNTHINKABLE

Single Working Mother

This was fun to make but actually made me feel really bad once completed.

Grown Past Their Time (Single Parent Household)

       I have caused my children to age past their time, how? Well I chose to not deal with the many things I've seen the women in my family go through. They've been dragged through the dirt on their faces (not literally).So before I could be mentally tortured by a man I had my children and kicked their fathers to the curb. Well at least my two youngest.
      Now my oldest daughter father I loved like a succubus. Before I knew what self love was. Once I realized that, I could not raise my daughter with a boy, that refused to be a man I let go. Resulting in putting myself in a bad economical position in life.
  So now I have my 11 year old daughter who played mom, when I worked 8:00 p.m.- 6:00 a.m. and 7:30 a.m.- 4:30 p.m., for the past two years. So now that I'm home, I see the effects that my purge working has taken on my children. I don't like it. Upon researching I have found there is an epidemic of this, and of course I'm not the only one "Of Course". Check It Out!

Getting Back to Normal

     I felt like my entire world was crashing in on me. First I lost my car it died, I felt like it was out of the blue.... I knew it was coming, my car was a 1997. Then I went to work, after my first mind told me not to go. Of course I was told to punch out because someone did not wish to work with me. I've never experienced that before EVER! I grew physically sick.
     I wanted to hurt myself, I just felt stupid for not listening to myself. I couldn't subject myself to such stress.I left BOOM! lost my job. My mother sat me down and talked to me. I still gave no fucks about what she was saying. I was at my breaking point. I'm not accustomed to being broke. I'm far from rich yet I am not poor. I just couldn't fathom no car, no job all  I thought about was death....
    So I began researching I needed help, sadly I came up with nothing. My final step to help myself was to just PRAY. I talked directly with my Rabb I made Dua's asking for guidance. Upon waking up yesterday morning I realized,  I am not just an ATM to my children they actually have missed me.
    My children have been enjoying my company for the past week. Telling me the most amazing stories,they actually like my food and bedtime stories I just LOOOOVE IT!! I understood that I had not lost everything. Everything I needed were right in the house with me. I now know and understand ,"I AM BLESSED. I NO LONGER WORRY ABOUT HOW THE NEXT BILL WILL BE PAID."

" I say all this to remind you of what I have forgotten. Life is short mom. It's not all about the material things. When your time is up, your children won't remember the things you bought them. They will remember the time you didn't spend with them, the shows you didn't go to and, the lack of love and attention they needed. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone which is a very hard reality for everyone to take in."
