yep yep yep...2005!!

wow...tonight i will embark on a NEW YEAR...wow...
alittle recap!!

wow...last year i went into the new year playing video games with "dad" and wondering when kpp (my son) would come...i went into the new year hoping that i would have a great family and that i would be the best mother i could be...

well i succeeded...i think ive done a great job with my son...HE is my family...i watched my stomach grow to fuuulll capacity lol...finally he was here...and i had noooo idea what to do...even though id read "online" and bought every book i could find...but i made it work...we finally came home and started our new life together...little Khalil Parker..the sweetest baby ever...it was soo difficult at first but as time flew by...we got into the swing of things...yeah "dad" wasnt around as much as he was needed but we made it work...wow...a single mommie lol...life has thrown me some curves but this year...man this year has been the biggest curve in my life...BUT its been the best year when i think about my son...of my life...

well my son has grown larger than life...i couldnt even imagine while holding him after birth that he would look this way...that he would act this way...that he would even smile the way he smiles that cute little smile at me..its sooo wonderful...

ive been hurt with love...and hurt others with my love...but its okay...it was never intentional...but i did it..and i have to take responsibility for it...im sorry...

my soul kinda aches right now because i know in the new year that i have to leave the hurt and pain behind...that i have to leave the bad behind...i cant worry about "dad" and what he does or doesnt do...i have to leave it all behind...i have to make sure im the best mom to kpp that i can be...and not take anything less....

this year i found a new friend...a very special friend...it was soo crazy how we meet and how we found each other...man...i wasnt even looking..but that i too have to leave in this year...it hurts a bit...i cant go into the new year even talking to the friend...because i "hurt" them...so ill leave them and the hurt behind...i dont want to hurt anyone intentionally or accidentally in the new year.......so ill move forward without a call or text and try to put that memory box waaay back in the closets of my mind...it will be hard but...hard is my life...so im used to it...its crazy how someone gives and gives and things still end up wrong...i wasnt ready...and i dont feel bad anymore after everything has been said and done..because my friend knew i wasnt ready...they knew what i felt when i felt it...i was never holding back...never holding back how i felt......but they stayed around anyway...i wasnt ready for what the life had to offer...what others would think...so i went along til i couldnt go along with it anymore...i think the day i had to stay "stop" was the day i woke up and needed my friend in my life...needed them by my side..and i was afraid...afraid of what the future would hold for us...so i had to let go...because i just wasnt ready...im glad my friend didnt "chase"...im glad my friend is stronger than they think they are...im just happy today...yes my soul aches..but im happy in that small corner of my heart...because i know everything will be okay...and if it doesnt...i know i can handle it all...but i do want to say..im sorry...im sorry for not being ready...not being able to "not care" what others think...i guess thats another one of lifes curve balls...but its okay...im leaving it in 2005 and wishing and praying for my friend's happiness....:)

wow...2004...
i had a great son...
ive held my son...
got over the pain of being unworthy...postpartum depression...
did what most mothers dont do...breast feed...even though it hurt like hell at first lol...
listened to my son cry...
heard him laugh...sooo much...such a happy baby...
got my first kiss :)
watched as he grew up right in front of my eyes...
watched him eat for the first time...let him throw some food lol...
watched him lay there...scoot alittle...crawl waaay too much...stand up...and finally take his first two little steps...(still not walking!!)
ive watched my son grown up to be a well mannered little 10 month old...
and im sooo happy about that!!!!

ive gained an appreciation for love..
gained an appreciation for pain...
became a survivor of both...
learned how to be a good mommie..
learned how to be a good daughter and sister...
learned how to listen sometimes...
and not shut up other times...
taught myself that in the end i must take care of my son and i...
gave an abundance of love away...
got an abundance of love poured on me...
cried many nights...
smiled many days...
watched waaay too much tv..
finally saw some movies ive been dying to see...
went to some art museums...
read some good books...
ate some great food...
cooked some good meals (surprisingly!)
regain that sex appeal that id lost...
straighten and curled my hair lol...
whitening my teeth with those crest strips lol...
told some corny jokes...
cried...
saw death in the eyes of a young boy...
laid some friends to rest...
missed them sooo much...
cried for them all night...
wished they were still here..
but dealt with the pain of them being gone...forever..
figured out im okay with myself...
found out that im still a great catch...
and my body is the temple that carried life...
and its okay that there is still some remnant of him hanging on hahahah...FAT...
figured out that life is hard...
but figured out that i can handle it...
dealt with things in my own time..in my own way...
cried some more..
laughed aloooott...
and cried some more...
yes crying...crying is what drives me...the emotional side of me...is what i love....
and tonight i hope to go into the new year...
with the same people i came into it with last year...myself and my son...

this year has been sooooooo good to me...my payment is to be good in the new year...

love you bunches...
luuve :)

happy new year!!!

who am i kidding lol ill probably have more to say tonight lol

...tonight i thought i would send a special friend a text message...and wow..i opened up a can of worms that i wasnt quite ready to deal with...but its good because i can go into the new year...FRESH....

ive finally figured myself out on alot of things...and im glad about it...i know what i need and want in relationships....be it frienships or loveships...and yeees i made that up lol...i know that i want a deep love and a special person to share it with..if not in 2005...then whenever they decides to show up...(ill be ready)...i know i need someone who is strong...a strong personality....someone who will stand up to me..and stand up for me...and stand by me and help me when things get rough....and love me with all my "bitchy"faults...and to watch me as i become the person i desire to be....

thats what i need...and it always seems like i fall into the the wrong hands..my heart falls into the wrong hands...im always being overly helpful to people...and before i know it lol they have more issues and problems then i thought i had...or people who love too much...or smother me too much...and i just want to scream for air...thats not to say i dont love them...but i cant manage...i cant figure out what they need or who they want and need me to be...so then im stuck...im stuck with this person loving me...and or me loving them...and my life not really progressing...

wow...thats me...thats been my past...and damn i dont want that to be my future...

i want 2005 to be better than 2004 relationship wise...friendships...loveships...and yeeeeees i keep saying that loland work relationships....i want to be honest in 2005...and let people know what i feel...and how they affect my life...and not always wait to cry about it later...i want to continue to grow and love...and continue to teach kpp that loving yourself is not a bad thing...its the best thing you can do for YOU.....

this is my mission for 2005 love...to love myself..and to love others...without fear or fault...something i was too afraid to do in 2004...and let that love shine threw me so when people meet me they know that not only am i strong and self confident...but im willing to love and be loved....

wow...thats a big task...but im up for it...and for those of you who have something to say


AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA....everyone thinks my boy is throwing the finger lol...i looooove this picture...

its going great

kwanzaa that is...

SUNDAY...i spent like 15 minutes with my mom before she and my little brother left to go home...so thats alittle unity lol...but then i went to breakfast with a good friend of mine...well while at breakfast the baby started to get sick...so i spent the majority of the day with her and her baby at the hosiptal...come to find out she is allergic to peanuts...peanuts?? i couldnt even remember feeding her any peanuts...well when i thought about it...we had...we'd had nuts in a pancake...opppps...well i say all that to say...she told me that i was very helpful to her while at the hospital...when she thought she wouldnt be able to go another minute...i was there to push her forward.....unity maybe they meant your family...but sunday i was helping a good friend out...and i feel good about it...

MONDAY...oooh monday was great...i didnt do much of anything at all...came home..cleaned up and...just chilled out...lit the second candle on the kinara...and took me a bath and just thought about how i could treat ME better and love ME alittle more...well seems like im doing that already..

TUESDAY...well tuesday...tuesday was the date night...so i dont think i actually celebrated kwanzaa...i did however talk about it alittle bit with my date...and he seemed rather intrested...he said he had never celebrated it but it sounds really cool...i told him what tuesday was about...its was alittle funny when i told him what day tuesday was...collective work and becoming responsbile for one another....we kinda talked about and he said that lately he'd felt like that with his family...taking care of his mom and his older brother...wow...so i guess i did celebrate it...

WEDNESDAY...well today is wednesday...and i still dont have a clue how i could celebrate today...i have yet to find a black business that im intrested in...but i will keep this principle in the back of my mind...i just have to make sure that i practice this throughout the year....

okay so 4 down and three more to go....kwanzaa...a holiday for my people...why dont we all celebrate it...??

movie night

well...last night went well...it seems like when one person seems interested..then another person comes along...well this is what happened...

okay a little background on this guy...a friend of mine introduced me to him about two years ago at some house party...and at the time i wasnt looking for anyone...so i didnt really seem interested in him.....well i guess she was talking to him recently and was talking about what she was going to get "my son" her "nephew" for christmas and he said..."wow she has a son?? is she married?".."no...she is single..really single"...he says..."she is single?" (like im a hot commodity or something come on) lol...but she says yes..and gives him my email address and phone number..he emails me like 2 weeks later lol...and we have been chatting online every since...well i had him send me a picture because i couldnt remember what he looked like (i couldnt even remember going to the party)...but once he sent me the pic i instantly remembered him AND the party..because i remember we kinda chitchatted the whole night...just kinda talking about who was at the party but not really talking about much else..

well last night...i called him and asked him did he want to just come over instead of going to the theater...he said yes... mind you id talked to a friend about this and asked her if she thought it would look like i was trying to "come on" to him by asking him to my home...she said no...so i asked.....well after he said yes...he then said in a jokingly tone..."YOU ARENT TRYING TO PUSH UP ON ME ARE YOU?" HAHAHAH.......oooh if he knew what id gone through to make sure it didnt "look" like i was "trying to push up on him" he would NOT have played around like that lol......but i just said no, laughed, and kept the conversation going...

well the reason i wanted to stay in to see a movie is because.....i didnt want to "waste" an OFFICIAL DATE...because i dont really know him that well...yeah you may say..damn thats cold...but its true...this dating scene in new to me and i want to be sure on who i let into my circle....and how quickly i let them in...because in the past ive let people just bogart their way in...and in the end i just end up getting hurt...either because i didnt know them well enough and then i finally figure out this isnt the person i should be with..my feelings get hurt...or because we just move to fast...and then before i know it...its just a mess...so this time i promised myself that i would be careful and slow...everyone is now on "my time"...so i asked him to come over...this way its not an "official date"...hahah....damn when i say that twice that does sound cold....

okay...well he couldnt find the movie we wanted to see..soooo we saw the recently out on dvd...BOURNE SUPREMECY...(it was really good)....

and we had chinese food...of course...my favvvvvorite food...and surprisingly his as well...we watched the movie...and

i always say seeing a movie on the first date is really good because you dont have to talk much...so if you dont like the person you're safe...and if you do like the person...this give you a chance to fill him or her out to see if you even want a second date...lol...

okay so it went well...we talked a little after the movie...i was getting a little antsy...because the conversation started to turn more on me...he asked me all kinds of questions...you know just making conversation......and man i haaate talking about me when i first meet people...i donno why...i just dont want people knowing soo much about me and especially when i dont know where this will lead...

so its getting late...and i let him know that its about time to go..and he says lol...this is funny..."i remember you saying you didnt get anything for christmas except two kisses from your brother and son"...(took my hand) and said lol.."i would like to add to that wonderful list of gifts"...and KISSED IT..lol..

YOU TALKING ABOUT A HUUUUGE KOOLAID GRIN ON MY FACE!! LOL...i was all smiles...i was like damn that was major game he just threw alll in my face lol...(or am i just lonely hahaha)...so i swung my hair a little bit..stepped in a little closer and gave him a big peck on the cheek...you know soft and gentle lolol...and moved back to see his face..and he had the biggest smile on his face...now with both of us smiling i knew that i either wanted another date or another kiss..lol...(i better opt for another date lol that kissing stuff gets you in trouble) lol...so once he figured out he was smiling just as much as me...he says...(i think to make small)..."you smell really fantastic"...and i laugh...i did some goofy laugh thats not even my natural laugh....man did i just doooo that?? im soo goofy lol...i didnt meant to do that goofy laugh but i did...so oooh nooo...i have to regain my composure lol and not be soo damn goofy lol (which is hard for me),...so i step closer and touch his arm gently..and say..."so do you"....well...now i think i moved a little too close because he looked at me in a weird (i want to eat you up way) and said..."i would like to see you again"...(in his ooh so nice raspy voice)...and i step back and say.."okay"...almost school girlish...with a grin on my face....he looks at me with those pretty eyes...loongest eyelashes ive seen on a man lol..and touches the door and says good night...

ooh that just happened lol...he is cute..but man is he too young for me? lol...im crazy...i think i analyze things tooo much...just go with the flow woman...everything will be okay....?? or will it??

Kwanzaa anyone???....

so this year...i really have to celebrate kwanzaa...so here goes...starting tomorrow...its crazy the first time i really celebrated it is when i first meet "dad" ..we went to this poetry reading with some of his friends...lol now that i think about it..that was the only thing we did to celebrate it...but this year...i HAVE TO...because its just a good thing to do...for kpp..teach him things about our culture...and how to love his people...

Sunday -- Umoja, meaning unity.
if my mom comes tomorrow...maybe we can hang out...or just hang with my little brother...go out again and do something...write in kpps baby book and let him know his first kwanzaa mommie reallys him to know what true family is all about..not this watered down version ive been giving him lol...

Monday -- Kujichagulia, meaning self-determination
this day will be all about loving me...loving the person ive become...i think ive grown alot in this past year...i used to want and need but today im glad to say i can stand on my own two feet without the help of others...now dont get me wrong help is always good..but i just feel like i dont need someone all the time like i used to...i think this year ive found that being alone with myself...you know when the baby is gone..and im home alone..that im all i have when i think about it...that when i lay down at night...im the one taking care of me...so loving myself this year wow...just saying it...wow...i love myself...its taken a long time..and of course i still have a ways to go..with all my faults..but wow i love myself..and i dont need someone to love me...lol not to say thats not a good thing...but i dont need someones' love to be sufficent...its crazy how life has taken me on a true roller coaster...from being sooo hurt earlier in the year...then putting all that hurt aside...to becoming a mother to the greatest kid eeevvver!!!...and learning to love him...thus learning to love me...not worrying about what people think...just kinda living life...i like this me these days...eventhough like i said..i do have faults...i just like this me...lol even with all the grinch stuff...i like this me...this me today is waaay better equiped to deal with problems and situations that im faced with everyday...i have seemed to pull the good out of a lot of the horrible things that ive faced lately...im proud of the person ive become...and you know what...i thought the jill scott song was soo stupid....but when i think about it...im living my life like its golden...i havent corrupted my beliefs this year for a relationship..when i thought it was bad for me...bad for my son...i let go...i havent corrupted the person i am...for people around me...when i thought they were bad for me...i either didnt speak with them or just let them know they werent good for me...wow...i have the self determination to be the best person i know who to be!!!..and im proud of me....

Tuesday -- Ujima, which means collective work and responsibility
i think for this one ill have to be more in tuned with my friends...to be more creative when coming up with solutions for their situations...give good advice....this may be alittle tough!

Wednesday -- Ujamaa, which means cooperative economics
this is a tough one..but ill have to try to do it...ill have to find shops owned and operated by african americans even if they are on the internet...and shop with them....(and yall know how much i loove the internet) but yeah ill try this one...

Thursday -- Nia, which means purpose.
im trying to think what i can do for this one...?? i dont know yet...by thursday ill have a sure plan and goals...but as i read over this...my plan is to write the childrens book...and let african american children know that they are truely beautiful..umm...i want this one to be good..so ill have to really think...

Friday -- Kuumba, which means creativity
this one is an easy one...i love to be creative...but i promise this year to find more ways to be creative...paint more..write more..and you know what...IM GOING TO WRITE THE BOOK I ALWAYS WANTED...a book for children...about african american children...yeah yeah yeah i know its a 1000 books out there for them..but this will be 1001!! wow im really going to do this...or at least start...ill have to ask a couple of people...african americans...wow..this could be a big thing for me!...and dedicate the book to baby kpp!!

Saturday -- Imani, which means faith.
i must continue to have faith and let people know it...let it shine from my intermost being.....i think im an encourager...i try to encourage my friends and those around me everyday...a lady at the job told me once..that i inspire her...i asked why and she said...you inspire me to smile ...because everyday you have that smile on your face or i hear that crazy laugh of yours...even when i know you arent having a good day...you dont let your bad mode rub off on others...and i just looked at her saying these things about me...and you know it...i SMILED...i try to keep my emotional side at home...i try to keep it away from the emotional people around me...lol thus being sooo emotional around the people i think are the strongest..the people i think that can handle my emotional side...lol....which are only like 2 or 3 folks in my circle...because everyone else are like wwaaaayy more emotional than me..but now that i blog..this will be a good outlet for me...to ummm...let it all out...its a great thing lol...and i will pray alittle more...not just when i have a problem or some issue..but just let the Lord know that im grateful...i do pray a lot...but this year pray and give thanks more...thank him for making my shoulders lighter...thank him for giving me a place to lay my burdens down...i just want to be encouraged this year...just to be alittle happier when i speak my truths...so on saturday...i will have MY faith..the faith that comes from knowing that God loves me...and He truely protects me and my littel kpp...and maybe that doesnt mean going to church every sunday...but i will try to just show that i am true believe in GOD...that he is my father......

wow celebrating kwanzaa will be a good thing...wow...makes me think about my life...and where i came from...just the pain and hurt that ive endured...wow...i love my life...some days i complain...but i wouldnt change one thing...i have know regrets...it has all been a huuuge experience..that ive been able to bear...and besides like "dad" says...if anything changed in my life....'WHO WOULD I BE?'.......

AM I THE GRINCH!!???

wow i dont know if its because im getting older..or because my day started off bad...or because my son is only 10 months...but whatever it is...whaaaatever it is...lol....i have noooo christmas spirit..no christmas nothing....but damn...its christmas lol...i guess its because i know im not getting a gift this year...not even a kiss on the damn cheek hahaaha....last year i was pregnant and i could rub my gift (my son in my belly) whenever i felt the need....and besides i was soo excited i just wanted to see my baby boys face...this year...lol he is here!!...being a little rascal!! lol...he is soo sweet though...but man he is such a little 10 month old kid...intrested in everything...wants to touch everything...just looooves life...and when mommie isnt loving life lol...i want him to be still....

the baby has everything...he needs nothing...not even a freaking toy...his dad bought him this ballpit...kinda cool...you know like at chuck e cheese...or mcdonalds...(i vowed never to let my own son step foot in those things...disease and waaay too many snotty noses lol)...but anyway..."dad" bought him one...and his grandparents bought him this little push toy..thats really cool...my mom of course bought him books...and me...well...im the grinch...i buy him things every week...so i mean really what does he need....

but does that mean im really the grinch...hell yeah..hahaahahah....i hope i dont ruin his christmas cheer...for next year...but what the heck does he know about christmas lol...he will probably be wondering why are all these people around...who are all these crazy toys for....why are you all looking at me.....he hates alot of people..i think he gets that from his father and i....all the talking all the noise...(DAAAMMMNN I AM THE GRINCH!!)

well finally "dad" came to get those two (my son and my little brother)...i was sooo tired....just mentally...yeah im a single mother..yeah i shouldnt get tired..but damn today...i wouldve killed someone lol...and who...i wouldve had to choose...my son or my little brother haahaha...(yep im the grinch)...but who?? lol....

i know "dad" thinks i try to ruin his life...but i dont...i just want to have some peace and quiet time...and yeah why didnt i think about that before i got pregnant...but oh well..he has two parents....who dont live together...so damn its just fair that i get at least alittle time alone....but you know what...i miss my boy...when he leaves..its crazy...i told "dad" this the other night...when kpp leaves...i miss him soo much...but when he is here driving me insaaaaaaaaannne...i just want "dad" to get him....its crazy....i know why gods plan was to have people married...to have two parents for a child...so it doesnt have to be this way...so i dont feel like this...its okay..he will be back later...driving me insaaaannnee...and ill be loving every minute of it....

wow..life is crazy...that is becoming my slogan...

i had a small situation this morning...and i think i did okay with it...well got upset but didnt go as loco as i used to...

here goes...this is what i mean by dad thinks i try to ruin his life....

the plan was today for "dad" to pick up the baby...and keep him today...i had to work...so okay...as you all know it snowed like 10 inches here...but the roads are clear today...so my job wanted me to come into work...okay so i let dad know that work is on...and for him to come and get the baby....well like i said it snowed 10 inches so he had to dig out his car from the snow...i think in the process of digging..and how tired that makes you..he got upset...told me to "stay the "f" at home...going to work its worth it"....well to me it is...if i dont go...i dont get paid..and who will help me pay my bills?? no one...so anywho...he gets all upset...and then i just tell him i dont want him mad with me..or mad about the whole thing...so forget picking up the baby...just damnit forget it lol...and yeah i did laugh...because who can take me serious...some days i dont even take me serious.(maybe i should NOT have said that because thats not what i really meant...maybe i shouldve said...go suck a cows butt because i really need to be at work right now...or okay forget that you are upset...im sorry but still come and get kpp...but of course i backed down...because i hate when he is mad with me)....but all in all...he didnt pick up the baby...so now that meant i had to call off work...that meant i had to get docked a days pay...should i be mad with myself...for not standing up for myself...yeah maybe...but then..finally i text him to see if he is coming to get kpp...its like what 230pm...he says yes he can get him...so he picks up the baby and my little brother...i wasnt going to say anything about the earlier morning situation..but it was burning me...i was still alittle upset...well not really...i guess im never really upset after the fact with anyone...especially him...i just wanted him to know that he really played me today...so i just said what i felt...i let him know that i was mad about this morning...and it was really jacked up...he in turn told me how i dont drive so i dont get it...which could be true...but then its like...he says that..but less than two hours later this morning..he told me he was "running up to his job" his job is only like 5 minutes away...but still...if you can dig yourself out for a five minute drive..why not a 15 minute drive...damn i should cool it...this is one of the reasons we arent together...because i cant hold in my emotions...because i just have to "go there"...and he is the type who can hold his emotions in for years...who will never say you hurt his feelings...or say what he truely feels...or maybe he just does it with me...i donno...i guess this morning..i should not have given up so easy...i should have been different...but oh well..its over..the day is almost over....i should let it go...and the next time i see them be overly happy...but it wouldnt be a fake emotion....because wow...just typing that...really lefted that weight off my shoulders...

seems like everything has to be a big deal...when it really doesnt have to be...one day me and "dad" will get it together for the baby...one day my word with him will be my bond...and ill stand my ground...or we wont...

haahah and damn im not the grinch..i just looked over at my christmas lights and smiled....i cant wait to see my son and snap some more pics of him...with his funny little santa hat on!!!!!!

ive been sleep for most of the day...lonely and sad...needing someone to lean on...and the two people who asked me if i wanted to lean on them...i cant...because im in love with one...and the other one...umm we just have a really weird relationship...and its crazy because both have women in their lives..even if they dont want to admit it...even if they hate the women....so why even go there....life is crazy...

i was talking to my friend corey tonight...the one friend who i said we have the "weird realtionship"...he is one of the loves of my life...its crazy...because he is my inspiration alot of days...to be myself...to be emotional...to be intelligent...to be just the person i am...me...he is my inspiration...hahahaha (please dont read this tonight) lol...he is one of the men in my life...that things never worked out for us...and we couldnt sulk in it...so we both had to move on....mainly because of distance...but life is okay...it took us to two different places...but if things wouldve been different...man lol...i would be involved with him at the drop of a dime....(sorry for saying this if you are reading this lol)...he has a woman...but he said something tonight that really made feel good...

this was our convo on....

saxiestmanalive: I tell her to attract (me) all she has to do is be her
saxiestmanalive: I love an individual
luuvelyladdy: ?

saxiestmanalive: I love a woman who is herself in all situations
saxiestmanalive: and radiantly so
luuvelyladdy: ok
luuvelyladdy: so what doesnt (she) understand about that?
saxiestmanalive: I think shes insecure in her power to attract me
luuvelyladdy: i hear you
luuvelyladdy: i dont think ive ever had that problem (with men im involved with)
luuvelyladdy: but i always thought i was too emotional
saxiestmanalive: i know
saxiestmanalive: not really (emotional)
saxiestmanalive: to be passionate u have to be emotional and be able to get caught up
in the power of it
saxiestmanalive: have to surrender and thats hard for alot of ppl
saxiestmanalive: they scared of themselves n the world in a way
saxiestmanalive: for some reason ppl think emotions are a form of weakness
luuvelyladdy: yeah
luuvelyladdy: i think my ex thought i was weak but i dont think that
saxiestmanalive: the weak ppl are those who are too scared to face what they feel
luuvelyladdy: i think im strong
luuvelyladdy: just emotional
luuvelyladdy: yeah i get it
luuvelyladdy: im putting this convo on my blog tonight
saxiestmanalive: it's all in how u deal with it

saxiestmanalive: not really
luuvelyladdy: why not?
luuvelyladdy: i just have to be able to be alone
luuvelyladdy: and be strong

the convo kinda ended there because he got offline..but man...i think thats true...i have to be able to be alone and be strong...with or without my friend michelle..with or without some guy in my life...but you know i think...we all get weak sometimes..and i think when i get weak is when i get sad...i just kinda begin to feel really needy...most men may see that as weak..oh well...but its like im just in need of just alittle love...and i think when i get sad...i want someone to talk to...to listen to me babble..just to let me know everything will be okay...eventhough i know it deep down for myself...i guess i just needed some loving...well im not getting that tonight...or anytime soon...so im going to get my son...and put him to sleep...and hit the sack......hopefully its still bad outside tomorrow..so i dont have to work again.....the snow is horrible...yeah its pretty but damn the pretty...lol...night
well last night before i went to bed...a friend called and told me one of my best friends may have been killed in a car accident in all this wintery storm...

life is soo crazy...seems like every 6 months to a year someone i know is getting killed or dies somehow...it seems as though death follows me...like its on the heel of my feet...but just wont touch me...seems like god keeps me in his safe keeping...but does that mean he isnt doing that for others? or does that just mean i still have something to do in this life?...i donno...

she and i have been friends for a long time...it really pains me to even think that she may be dead...its sooo crazy because i was just talking about her the other day to "dad"...about how mad she mad me when trying to tell me "what kinda man I NEED!...but you know thats her...and we are so in sync lol that she was actually right..and what she said made me think...

well here was the somewhat story...there were people in the car...two females...one dead and one in critical condition...but they wont release the name until they have verified "next of kin"...KIN??...well her mother died a couple of years ago...and she and her father dont talk...i only remembered his name because she told me once...and mainly because its the same as my uncle's name...spencer...well...life is stinking right now...smelling like a rotten egg...but i just have to keep praying that everything will be okay....can i pray that the "one female dead" isnt her...but you gotta believe that the other girls family is praying that its not their child...i dont know..how can you pray for death for someone else and life for the other...its just mean...i guess last night my prayer was that everything be okay...that whatever God's will is..that its just okay...because if it were two females in the car i mostly likely know who the other was...damn...
well here we go....i woke up late this morning..mainly because my son kept me up most of the night crying...why he was crying?? i dont know...but he was...so by the time he got settled and sleep it was about 2am...okay...so i wake up at 7am...i shouldve been up at 6am...well okay...im thinking we can still get ready and get out at a decent time...well we do...and everything seems to be going okay...i leave out of my place...baby on back...covered...snuggled up...and i had to tell my little brother one more thing..."take out my trash for me pleeeaseee"....so i leave out the door...down the street and on a 12 minute hike down the street...well usually its not that bad...buuut today its snowing...well i say to myself..."at least it isnt thaaat cold this morning"....walking walking walking...feeling preety good...finally get to my bus stop...then i make sure that i packed my lunch IN MY BAG..."ooooh shit...i dont have my bag"...meaning the baby doesnt have his lunch....meaning...."FUUUUUUCCCCKKKK I HAVE TO WALK ALLLL THE WAY BACK HOOOOMMME!!!!"...ooook so walking walking walking...back back back....home home home....okay so im a really emotional person but im only emotional to the PEOPLE I LOVE....no matter who it is...you know my mom my brother...significant other...you know the people im close to...no one else knows im this "huuuuge cry baby"...well back to the story...i get home...i get home...and my little brother is coming down the stairs for me..."with my bag in hand" damn i looove him...he is such a sweet kid...well as soon as i see him...i start to cry...(you know the whole im emotional around the people i love)...so im crying not because i left my bag...i guess i cried this morning because some days like today i just feel soo overwhelmed...i feel like im the only one out there...like im alone in this huuge world...so walkign walking walking....back back back...to the bus stop....by this time my son is sleeping..mainly because i have his head covered up....(wouldnt you sleep if you were all snuggled up on your mommie) well finally finally get the bus stop...i see my bus...so "oh nooooo i have to run alittle"..."oh shit i cant run...i cant chance falling"...so i just have to walk really fast....finally get across the street...just in the nick of time..."THANK YOU JESUS!!!"...i couldnt have stood there for another bus and came to work...i wouldve been an emotional wreck...weelll okay...get to the sitters to drop off my son...and man...SHE HAS FORMULA FOR HIM!!!! a while back she gave me his formula...but she said i brought it back for you know "for days like this".....wellll......im kinda pissed...but oh well...i have the bottles they are in my bag..no big deal...im over it...so i put him down...she is holding him...i walk out of the house...and "damn man!!! i see my bus...come on come on cars..move it!!! i haaaave to get this bus!!"...well now with no baby on my back im free to run...if i fall i fall...so i book it...running alittle to my bus...."YYYEEAH I GET THE BUS!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!"....oh the bus i am...finally getting a chance to feel my legs....to feel what warm is like..."THANK YOU JESUS FOR LETTING ME BE OKAY...FOR LETTING MY SON AND I JUST BE OKAY...THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!!" ok so im on the bus...riding riding riding...going going going...to work work work...."man my bag is heavy...what the heck is in here?" so i check.........................."NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! NOT HIS BOTTLES!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" yes yes yes...his bottles are in my bag....the bottles that i walked a mile for in the snow with a 30lb baby on my back...the bottles that made me feel like i was the worst mother ever...the bottles that i ran for!!! THESE DAMN BOTTLES!!!....damn...oh well..the sitter has formula...he will be okay...off to work i go...pissed crying...but i have to be okay....crying because just last night im trying to encourage "dad" and let him know we have to keep going when things dont go right...we have to keep pressing on...and damn when something happens to me i kinda loose it...but hey man i have to suck it up...life is tooo short to be soo down on myself...

and i get to work...go over the story in my mind...beating up on myself.....im sooo sad...then my boss comes in late....and answers her voicemail...and her daughter had a car accident in the snow....DAMN....i just sit here thinking...

I HAVE TO BE GRATEFUL!!! thank you jesus for letting nothing happen to my son and i..thank you jesus for always having me in your arms...protecting me from harm...from danger...thank you jesus for being the best dad a girl could ever have...thank you...because it couldve been me....

....Someone who will listen and probe a little, not too hard (ok...no pun intended..but damn do i need a probing hahahaha), but just enough for me to understand that he cares about my feelings and my inner thoughts, he needs to provide for me a safe environment for me to express myself freely. He needs to be able to understand that sometimes during conflict that my first reaction or actions to a situation are not always what I truly mean to express...maybe it was just the heat of the moment....He needs to be a giver, because I am one, and not ask me what I want but listen and try to figure out what I need and give it to me..hahaha mates in my past will get this lol...i never know what i want for dinner...i never care where we go....i just never care...im usually happy just chilling out with my man..I need someone to help expose me to things because I am curious and loves adventure, but need someone to help pull me out into the world of the unknown....because im soo scared too....I need someone who will respect me and show me how a woman should be treated especially physically and sexually. RESPECT, his mindset should be "now baby this is how a woman is supposed to be treated" so that my mind is renewed regarding relationships. I love quality time with my man, so he has to be someone that values one on one time.....

soooooo true...i added some things to what she said...but damn...thats right on point with what i need...what i want...

okay im going to bed...its sooo freaking cool in this apartment..."kpp" seems to love it though...but he has on a all over pj set...with those feet covered...hahaha...i lvoe those things...i actually wish they made them for adults...

The "e"

dAmn...man...ive been on the internet non-stop over the weekend...i've spent entirely too much time on the internet..point blank period....its alot of things that are causing me to browse (boredom..longing for alittle excitment...looking oooh looking for something that will make my day? a bargain...a conversation...something...)and man now today im at work...with nothing to do...searching..browsing...oooh just looking...

and man...i think i just can't help myself. its like its beckoning me to come explore. The glow of the shiny, effervescent letter "e" is deliciously inviting. My hands reach for the mouse that's ever so eager to take a bite into the depths of the bluest of blues. For I know, this is "off limits," says the man (the IT MAN). But oh, what's a girl to do?

How does someone like me...a curious soul, a researcher, a writer, a creative explorer...NO NO NO...an ebay junkie...cut themselves off from such a myriad of information, knowledge and creative expression? it all waits patiently in html to be read and devoured by myself and others from around the globe.

it isn't fair. it's just not fair i tell you!

who will save me from this slavery to the "net"? who will loose me from the chains that hold me solely to the website of the "eb@y!!" who will hear my anguish? maybe the man will. his form of deliverance? maybe a lashing, a move, a firing! ooh i cant think this way lol!

maybe the "Real Man" will deliver me from this atrocity and place me in true freedom. Maybe my liberty lies in my own initiative. if i were putting my all into what i was supposed to do, i wouldn't have to worry about the chains of someone else's rule. the choking constraints of another man's vision. man this damn "e"....

thank you "e", for showing me the possibilites.

lol yes im a nutcase...but man this little "e" has been my source of enjoyment for a long time now....with nothing to do at home...with nothing to do at work...and no one to do "nothing" with..except for the little sweet boy..who drips all over me lol...and talks this language i cant understand....who eats everything off the floor that he can find....this little "e" has been my little friend....so with that said....damn i need some loving!!! lol rooooffllll!!!

i love astrology lol

my horoscope today reads....

"Suddenly your place doesn't look the way you want it to. Oh, it's actually fine just the way it is, but you still feel like something just has to change. Maybe it's just time to rearrange some furniture!"

wow...im rearranging my room and living as we speak...it always takes me two days to do it...so ill finish it all in a minute...once im done with this blog...

KINDA LONELY

tonight im feeling lonely...i think my son can feel that im sad...because he keeps coming over to hug me and or kiss me...its crazy how they know and sense everything....i love him sooo much...and just as i say that he starts whinning lol...

i think im feeling lonely because im thinking too much tonight...just about my past...i just feel like i need some love tonight...someone to just lay in bed with...and do absolutely nothing with...or read a good book...or listen to some good music...

when i think about the past...i always seem to get sad...because i dont have what i had...the joy of coming home to see someone you love...or waiting at home til they come...the joy of listening to them just babble about nothing at all..the joy of cooking (and i hate to cook) for them...and watching for the "this is nasty" look to come on their face...i just miss the joys i used to have in my soul...and now it seems like i only get them from someone who doesnt even know his own name hahahaha...my son...thats not to say those are super special joys...its just not what im talking about...

but its okay...im going to finish looking up things on ebay...and get in the bed...

i think my present life is okay...my son is great...he is a real joy to me...but my relationship life makes me sad.....oh well..i was just thinking...

and seems like tonight thinking makes me alittle sad...

by the morning...life will be okay again :) night

Ive been keeping in contact with my cousin...which is really cool...ive missed talking to her...you know the one...the one that "bear" loves...yeah her...

welllllll...umm...ive been talking to my friend derek more...he is soo sweet to me...just one of the greatest people i know...we are always talking...but seems like lately...we have been really getting to the root of things...i help him...he helps me...he was telling me about his girl blowing up because one of his "girl" friends called their place...i had to be honest with him...ive done the same thing...i cant stand when women do that...lol...im jealous though lol...

man im in such a great mood...eventhough its soo dark outside...im making the best of it...

dad picks up kpp today...so i have alittle 'me' time...which some days i love...so i can sleep...but other days...man i miss him sooo much...oh well...everyone says i will love this 'me' time oh well...i cant wait...

and yeah i was looking at him last night...once he threw his bottle and shuffled around and got settled and went to sleep....wow this is my son...this big boy...grew inside me for months..and now look at him...i remember when he was just a thought...i love him sooo much...i cant wait to see him in a year...two years...even 10 years from now...its such a joy to escort him along his life's path right now...i love it...
so derek wanted me to say what happened between his girl and him...he said the post made him sound like a pimp...well here goes...

his friend (which is a girl) called his new place...see derek moved to a new city dc...with his "new wonderful beautiful girlfriend"...she is cute lol...but anyway...he has moved to the same city...they now live together...well see derek...i guess didnt feel the need to tell the world...that he would be moving in with his new wonderful beautiful girlfriend...

soooooo....his friend called their new place...ooooooohhh....of course the friend didnt know he now lives with his new wonderful beautiful girlfriend...so of course...he talked...while the girlfriend was like "what the fuuuuuukkk??!!"...and of couuuurse...men never seem to think anything is a big deal...well to women that is a huuuge deal..to have another woman call her house...to speak to HER MAN!!....CRAAAZYY...

well the new and beautiful and wonderful girlfriend went off....and i think with good intentions...so that was that...
