Ya girl is an idiot...

I wanted my hair cut shorter. Why? Because I get antsy when my hair is one length for a long period of time. I told Dwayne who said "Get it cut. It's just hair." He now recants that statement. So, my dumb butt decided to allow these folks to EXPERIMENT on my hair. I'm too embarrassed to take a picture of myself but it was a little like this:



I was so embarrassed during my walk home. I'm always stared at while out and about here but it was a little extra today. I sent Dwayne a text letting him know how unhappy I was. He laughed at me. When he got home to see me, he said "Yeah, you do look like a hot mess." I explained that I really needed a little positive affirmation. Tell me my eyes sparkle, my baby toe looks nice, something.

Needless to say, I will be working on my mane tonight. Tomorrow, it will be fabulous...I hope. If not, somebody please tell Brandye I might need to fly her out here for a quick trip.

Oh yeah, I also found my first gray hair. I was a little excited because I think gray hair is so pretty. I might not be excited when my gray hair moves her cousins into my head.

Bridgette, you are a beautiful person inside and out (positive affirmation). I look forward to seeing your hair. It cannot be that bad. Even if it is, act like it is not. When you have confidence with whatever you have most people like whatever it is.

Well, I'm sure it isn't as bad you think (it never is with us women). But we all understand the relationship between black women and their hair. :)

Motherhood

Yesterday, I had something to do so the kids went to their old sitter's house for a few hours. We got home later than intended so I knew I would be rushing to prepare dinner, get them bathed, and settled for the night. Here's what really happened. As soon as we entered the house, Brayden started running around saying "Mommy, I have to pee". So we rush into the bathroom and as soon as his pants are unbuttoned, he starts peeing on himself. I clean him up and decide they can play in the tub while I start preparing dinner. As soon as we get to the kitchen, Danica throws up all over me, herself, and the floor. So, I take her to our bathroom and bathe her. Before I can get her pj's buttoned up, Brayden starts screaming "I have to pee!" Because he just went all over the bathroom floor, I'm a little perplexed. I run to their bathroom anyway only to find out he didn't have to pee, he had to poop and had already dropped two bombs in the bathtub where his s...

In Memory...

Staff Sergeant Javares Washington was killed in Kuwait. He was my cousin. My cousin died yesterday...in Kuwait...and I'm so very sad. I feel like I can't breathe. My heart is broken. We grew up like siblings. His mom had him at a very young age. She wasn't ready to take care of him. So, he lived with us for years. He was like my brother. And now, I'm in shock. I'm going to miss him so much. The military has only said he was in a government vehicle on patrol and it flipped over. We don't know what caused the flip or anything. I want to go home. He was married and had two children. His son, Jayden, is 6 years old and looks just like him. His daughter, Tristin, is 9 months old. My heart is broken.

Love at First Sight

I am absolutely in love with this little girl. Danica was born with a heart murmur but we found out today it's no longer there. We are so happy with this little perfect being and can't wait to get to know her more.
