......cus i'm colder than y'all
BabyGirl has gym today and she hates changing in the change rooms, especially now that she has gym last period. So on days that she has gym, she usually wears jogging pants and t-shirts so that she doesn't have to change and she already has on proper attire. Well, with jogging pants, they don't usually come with the elastic adjustable waists, they're either elastic or they have a string to tie. Well, Baby has some jogging pants where they are elastic and the string is for aesthetic purposes only. Today she wore one of the jogging pants that fit lengthwise but are loose around the waist. Since there is no way to adjust the waist on her jogging pants I have this method to make the waist fit on her pants. I grap the excess fabric either in the front or the back of her pants (which ever is loosest) and I take a hair tie and I tie the hair tie around the bunch of fabric. Now it does leave this piece out that is less than desirable, but it works.....mostly. However, I am sure today when she comes home from school, I will get in a loadful of crap because the hair tie probably came out and her pants have fallen off. It has happened before.

Ay yo, I smoke like a chimney
Matter fact - I smoke like a gun when a killer sees his enemy.
Not really, I don't smoke, but why is it you can't find lyrics like this anymore. WHO KILLED THE MOTHER FRICKIN' MUSIC?!?!?!
Anywho, just an update in my sad and pathetic life. No, I lie again, I'm just in one of those moods where I think my life suck, but really I should be counting my blessings. And I am grateful for everything that everybody that I have in my life. I have had alot of oppurtunities that have been more than enough to get me to where I want to be, it's my own slackness and laziness that's stopping me. I have no one to blame but myself.
Again, not really the point. This weekend was a long weekend. I made it extra long, not to the liking of Meli, as now I don't hav enough vacation time in November to go to Turks and Caicos. I know, I suck, I'm sorry (again). I will work something out, don't even worry about it.
Tried to prep Baby for the first day back. No, that's not true. I was trying to prep for the first day back for Baby. I miss sleeping in. I forgot how creative one has to be to pack a lunch. I forget how inflexible teachers can be and even worse, school secretaries. Hello, I'm not the student, speak to me like an adult, BECAUSE I AM ONE!!!! I forgot about all the issues Baby has with "friends". I forgot how I have to fight the urge to go to the school and smack all the wayward children. I forgot that I have to let Baby fight her own battles, and try not to hold on so tight. I forgot about all the extra costs involved with public school as all our money is now going into Catholic school board, and the new Afro-centric school.
Mo, you don't know how good you got it, mannnn.

Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane...
Nah baby girl, that's a shooting star with your name.
So Baby starts grade 2 in less than a week. We're super stoked. We were recently out buying some back to school stuff, like pencils, eraser, pencil crayons, pencil cases, you know, stuff like that. Baby had specific things that she liked, prodominantly stuff licenced to Disney Princess. Now, if you did the math, she just turned 7 years old.
Here's my question, is she too old for this stuff?
She still likes to watch Treehouse and Disney Playhouse. She likes to play dress up and plays with her dolls and has imaginary friends. When we hang out with other kids, she will play with the younger ones, rather than the older ones. She's still into Disney Princess (as stated above), and Disney Tinkerbell and even CareBears. She hasn't really moved onto Hannah Montana or any of that Disney Channel stuff. Frankly, I don't mind that, because really those kids on those shows have way too much attitude. My child has enough of her own, she doesn't need those influences as to how to make my life more difficult.
Even last year, she came home and said, her friends made fun of her because she still believes in Santa and the tooth fairy. How and when should I break it to her? I want her to get everything out of her childhood, because she will have to grow up soon enough.

Let's rearrange.....
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Random thought Thursday......because of her Random Thoughts Tuesday's.
☼ My mother thinks i'm a lesbian. I haven't had a boyfriend in god knows how long and I have two really good friends who are also single and I like to pinch my mother's butt. Well, not just her butt, I pinch her on her arms and legs too, but only because it's fun. I pinch my dad and my baby and Meli too. She's even gone as far as to get my grandmother in Trinidad to find "a good Trini boy" for me. No dice so far.
☼ My parents bought their own anniversary present. Meli and I were told that we have to get my parents a trip for my parents to Cuba. Since Meli paid for their trip to Bahamas for their 30th anniversary, I decided to pay for this one. Well, I have no money, and my credit card is in the negatives, I couldn't afford it. SO my dad bought it on his and I have to pay them back in installments.
☼ I passed my course. I got a 68%, but whatever a pass is a pass.
☼ I now have the great job of trying to find summer camps for baby for the summer. She likes dancing and singing and swimming. She's into the arts. There's no dance camps in our region and the swimming classes start at SwimKids 4. She's a SwimKids 1.
☼ I went to a martini bar and didn't drink any martini's. In fact, I was baited out with a big wine glass while everyone had martini glasses. Same when I went clubbing, I had a big red plastic cup and everyone else had clear plastic clubs.
*Hello, my name is llleeesssaaa and I don't drink!!!!!!!*
☼ Baby wants to invite the bully from the beginning of the year to her birthday party. I guess it's good that's they're over they're differences. If she want it, she gets it.
That's it.

Just call me whenever you're lonely
I'll be your friend, I can be your homie
I haven't really had anything to write about. I lie, I have stuff to write about, but when I start writing, I forget what I was going to write about.
Anyways, babe's good. She has a skip-a-thon tomorrow so she's superstoked about that. She's raise dover $300!! Go baby girl!!
Oh, we got the invitation to this cousins sister's wedding. It's on September 19th. I don't have plans that day yet, but I intend to do something, so I will be busy and can't go. So, HOLLA if you want to do something, hahahaha. I'm available. But my daddy says he needs a dd (because he will be drinking, as it's the only way he can be around my mothers family, lol), so I can't make any plans.
Oh, and on the same note, I was unofficially invited to her bacholorette. They're going to Niagara for wine tasting. FOR THE BACHOLORETTE PARTY!!!! I don't drink. I have a baby that I like to go home to (and I was informed that it's overnight). ANNDDDDD it's on the same weekend as my child's birthday. Honestly, she's getting married in September, why the hell is her bacholorette 2 months before?!?!?! Meli's was a month early, only because she was fasting for a month, but this chick is getting married in a church (i.e catholic or christian or some hey-seuss abiding religion), no fasting required. Plus, it's the day of kiddies carnival, so I don't think I can go, but I want to see the invitation still. So, I didn't mention any of those "issues" yet, i'm going w/ the flow. I'm a maco yes.
Do you think I am wrong??

You are appreciated.....
I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not
my plants were poisonous..
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom,
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind
and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child
so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night
watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because
I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom,
I didn't know the feeling of
having my heart outside my body..
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond
between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth,
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mom .
