Universoul Circus

We went to the circus yesterday. I absolutely LOVE this circus! I'll go to this one instead of Ringling any day, even though it is obviously produced with a way smaller budget. I love to see a bunch of beautiful black families enjoying themselves. I enjoyed the energy in the place and the music.

Going to the circus reminded me of my days at FAMU. Being surrounded by beautiful Black folks who aren't trying to make any trouble; just having a good time.

However, if my daughter ever got on a stage popping it like the little girl yesterday, I would whip her butt. That girl was too much! Yes, we cheered for her, we just got caught up. But, after thinking about it, I was embarrassed for her because seriously that ain't cool. The two other girls were dancing but didn't look like they were ready to be on tour with Beyonce or anything.

Anyway, I had a blast and so did my kids and that's what it's all about.

We saw the Universoul Circus when we lived in Monterey. We had a blast too!

Sounds like you had a great time!

I saw the Universoul circus in Tally a few years ago, and I loved it as well. I was looking for it maybe 2 years ago and couldn't find it.
I'm glad to know it hasn't shut down. Maybe it will come to Tampa

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

Baby Making (Or Not)

So, as I've said before, I'm getting my tubes tied this year. I have had so many people tell me they don't agree with this. I've been told that I should let God decide how many children we have or ask him to close my womb. I should wait and see if I want more children in the future. It's too permanent. What if something happens to my children and I decide I want more later. I honestly didn't expect to run in to so much opposition. First of all, it's my body and my decision. Secondly, I am absolutely sure that I don't want more children. And lastly, it really is my decision. The funny thing is that my friend who has 5 children has received a lot of criticism for the size of her family and was told repeatedly that she should've gotten her tubes tied. Now, there are other circumstances in that particular family that would warrant such remarks. But my point is that people are never satisfied. If we continued to have children, I'm sure someone would s

Christmas in September?

Apparently, living in Manila is going to provide plenty of material for me to write about. Here goes: We have been provided several books to help us adapt to life in the Philippines. Something we read was very beneficial for us yesterday. We went to SM which is a department store, furniture store, grocery store, and several restaurants all in one. Danae had to use the bathroom and guess what? There was no toilet tissue. No, they didn't run out. They don't put tissue in the bathrooms at all. No empty tissue holder or anything. Because I read about that, I had a little tissue stowed in my bag to use. In the grocery store, the most overwhelming shock was the stench. The entire back of the store is basically a butcher shop. Surprisingly, there were no flies or anything. But, the smell was gross. Danae held her nose while we looked around in there. I wasn't bold enough to purchase any meat yet. One day, maybe. Or, we'll just become vegetarians while we're here. In the cl
