Mom Talk

 

 

OMG I am so embarrassed but can’t stop laughing at the same time! The 2 oldest kids are in chorus and stay after school 1 day a week for practice. The Kids have been hinting around lately that they didn’t want to do it anymore since they are getting older and busy with other after school activates and sports so being the mother I am I told them the decision was theirs.

So Last week I get a letter reminding me I need to pay for the new chorus Shirts. I clearly remember asking the kids if they are going to stay or leave chorus. Dre Said he is done and wants to focus more on basketball and Jasmine was not sure. I told her to make up her mind because I am not going to pay for that expensive stupid t-shirt if she is not going and nothing else was ever said on the topic till tonight!

They didn’t go to practice this week and decided they were done so I was like ok it’s whatever you want. Last Night As I was looking through my blackberry I see a missed call and voice mail. I didn’t recall the number so I listened to the voice mail and it was THE CHROUS TEACHER!! You could hear in her voice that she was looking for the right words to say so she didn’t offend me but apparently she stopped Jasmine in the hallway and ask her why she was not at practice instead of Jasmine telling her she didn’t want to be a part of the group any more she threw me under the bus!! She told her teacher that I said those t-shirts are just too expensive and not worth it and I have better things to spend my money ON!! I wanted to die, But WAIT IT GETS BETTER!! She says that she knows that with the economy so bad that she understands that 2 shirts might be a little too much for me now and she would hate the kids to drop out because of a shirt and offered to help and asked me to call her back.

As I set there lost for words and laughing at the same time I ask Jasmine to come downstairs. I ask Jasmine why she told her teacher that and of course she was like no I didn’t, then when I told her that the teacher just called she was in shock! She said “she called you” I was like yup then she just started grinning cause she already knew she had been caught!. I talked to jasmine and explained to her again what I said and meant.

After she went upstairs I called the teacher back on her cell. I couldn’t wait till the next morning I hated the thought that of her even thinking that. We are the type of parents that will go without to make sure the kids get what they want and need plus WE ARE NOT WHAT YOU WOULD SAY STRUGGLING! I explained to the teacher what was said and let her know that if jasmine wants to stay I will send the money the next practice. I don’t know if she fully believed me or was just busy and needed to get off the phone because it was a really short conversation.

I don’t understand why she just didn’t ask my son everyone at school knows jasmine always says the first thing that comes out of her mouth without thinking. Now I am trying to remember anything else I have said that could be twisted that she has went back and repeated! No wonder everyone at school is super nice to me they probably have heard an ear full and think I am a complete NUTCASE!!

OH AND GET THIS JASMINE SAYS SHE DOESN’T WANT TO BE IN CHROUS!! WISH YOU WOULD HAVE TOLD YOUR TEACHER THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE KIDDO!

Over the past few weeks i have been watching all this online drama between bloggers, companies, women, girls, even Family including MY OWN!! etc etc, and feel that I need to break away. NO I don’t mean my blog THIS IS MY BLOG I be damn if someone stops me from doing what I love lol.. But I am breaking away from groups,nings, message boards, facebook, twitter and side chats ETC… you get the drift..

I really had to do some soul searching and I feel that this is the best for me. I don’t ever want to labeled as something or somebody I’m not. I Don’t want to feel that I have to pick sides or I will be bashed next. I am my own person! I do what I want and nobody can influence me to do or think other wise and if you don’t believe it just ask the people that know me the best LOL.

Over the past few weeks I have seen how much bashing goes on in the Online world and to me it’s childish and not called for. I don’t think anyone online is better then the next I am sorry. We really don’t know each other and all we know is what each other says…we are all just screen names so why take anything personal.. I Refuse to let someone’s issues become my own. I have met some great people online but I refuse to get caught in their drama, I refuse to even speak on it or express my opinions because It has nothing to do with ME AND DON’T EFFECT ME PERSONALLY IN ANY WAY!

I have strong opinions on a lot of stuff I see and I could point each and every one of them out, but What’s the point? Does It effect My Life? NO!! Here lately People have came to me and said stuff about others and I would listen and maybe give my opinion or advice about the situation but not anymore.

However I am going to put this out there One more last time…

1. If you get friend Request from someone you don’t want on your list IGNORE THEM BETTER YET BLOCK THEM! Who Cares what they think!

2. If you are a member of a ning, msg board, group and you are not happy with it leave don’t stay somewhere that you are not happy with or keep your membership open just to lurk and see whats being said or the lastest gossip what’s the point?

3. Don’t tweet or update your Myspace and Facebook stautes with something personal then get mad saying everyone is up in your business!! HELLO YOU PUT IT OUT THERE FOR THE WORLD TO SEE THAT’S YOUR FAULT!

4. DON’T I repeat DON’T Call someone a hater JUST BECAUSE THEY DON’T LIKE YOU OR AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAY!! Hater is such an Overused word that people like to use just because someone else expresses a dislike for a certain individual. To Me the term Hater Actually means A person who feels anger and/or jealousy for someone who has succeeded in something they have worked hard for. Sooo With that you actually need to have or succeed in something someone wants..Sorry but I don’t think hater is the right word to use in your situation…

5. YOU REALLY HATE DRAMA? You Make a statues update saying this then 3 mins later your statues is what DRAMA!! LOL then when someone calls you out the statues updates Is Deleted! Baby Please stop it! I know if I see it your 1000 friends see it also..Your making yourself look really silly.

6. STOP THE DAMN QUOTES ON FACEBOOK Or better yet please give credit to the person who actually wrote them! I am over here LMAO cause people actually think you wrote them and you never correct them! I don’t know which is funnier you are them.

7. Don’t tell someone something if you have a fear of it getting out. If it does get out you better own up to that shit and not sucker out and say you didn’t say it. If you was bad enough to say it the first time be bad enough to admit it to the person you said it about!!

Everyone has opinions and i respect that but don’t just follow the crowd because everyone else is doing it. Be your own person and make your decisions don’t let anybody sway your thoughts or feelings any other way then your own.

I am the type of person that will say what I need to say directly to that person I have issues with I refuse to go behind someone’s back and say how i feel. Not only is it going to get twisted by doing so you are also creating unnecessary drama yourself. We as women are all guilty of saying we hate drama but we are always in it some way or another. Sometimes we need to step back and ask our self is it really worth it and how does this effect me? I think a lot of us need to start minding our own business and doing “US” instead of worrying about the next person..

So thats my Vent for the day, week, month, and year lol… and while you won’t be seeing much of me any where else but my own little space *my Blog* I am going to put all that extra time and energy in doing ME and reading more personal blogs dealing with what matters the most FAMILY AND YOU!!! Maybe now i can get some things done! So Please continue to stop by and know that this is Nothing personal against ANYONE! I love EVERYONE! I think Everyone brings their own unique styles to make the online world so fun and great!

As many of you know I wrote about starting the sense program last week.  I know everyone has been waiting for the update RIGHT?? I must say that I really had some doubts on this stuff but right now so far so good!!

I was really scared that it would make my food taste funny but so far I haven’t noticed a lot of difference. The only difference I have seen is that I get full very quick!  I also noticed that I have not been snacking when I am sitting here at the computer like I usually do LOL!! However I have not seen a movement on the scale but, As I shared with you on my wordless Wednesday it’s that time of the month so I am sure that’s the reason!! RIGHT? But on the plus side I have not gained that normal water weight like I usually do!!

I just learned that Alan Hirsch has written a book about Sensa called Sensa: No Diet, No Hunger Weight Loss System the book explains how the ability to taste and smell is part of the protective mechanisms that encourage people to eat. The plan in this work uses two key senses–taste and smell–to manipulate the experience of fullness. This book is available for presale at a discounted price through Amazon. It launches on November 3rd and will be available wherever books are sold. I cant wait to read this book!! For a great discounted price make sure you go reserve your copy today!

Also I am still looking for People to Join in with me and work together as a team and support system. You can get a Sensa Trial Kit FREE for 60-days and receive a $25 discount card to www.glow.com. Which Glow.com is the next generation beauty e-tailer. It’s where shopping, socializing and beauty addictions come together with access to over 170 brands offering the best in skincare, makeup, hair care, bath & body, fragrance and more! How fun is that! All they have to do is pay a shipping and handling fee of $4.95.

You have 30 days to try the product free of charge. If you like it, they do nothing, and you will then be billed for 60 day supply and be enrolled into the Exclusive Sensa Club.. If you do not like it, return it within the trial period and not pay anything but shipping.

Come on Just give it a try! I will be your own personal cheerleader! It’s a fact when going on a weight loss program you do better with a support system so lets support each other and get a jump start before the new year!!

That’s it for this week! make sure you keep checking back! *crosses fingers that the scale has moved by then*

I hate this time of year!  Well not really I actually love Fall it’s my favorite season but I hate that it brings the flu and cold!! My Kids came home from school sick again! Jada had a fever and started throwing up everywhere! Jasmine took a nap and woke up with a fever  and crying her head hurts.  So to top it all off I feel like crap ! I have been sleep for the most part and feel weak as hell! I am guessing we are fighting off something.

I have decided to keep the girls home from school today just to make sure they feel better and let them catch up on some rest! Jasmine woke up @ 2 and told me she feels better and is going to school but I don’t think so missy! I want to make sure your better for the next 24 hours first!

I would hate for them to spread something to the other kids.  I have this issue with parents who send their kids to school sick no matter what! I mean  if your child is running a fever, throwing up, or diarrhea keep them HOME I mean come on it’s bad enough they feel bad but then to pass it to other’s in school is not right!!! I have never understood why parents do that. I mean the school is going to call you to pick them up anyways so why don’t you safe your self and your child the trouble!

I am going to try to catch up on a few post then I am going to bed. If I am not around much you now know why! I got emails and im’s today asking where the hell i was LOL! I feel special when someone notices that I am not online..WAIT SHOULD I?? What are yall saying I spend too much time online!?? HAHA  OK have a great day everyone!! AND PLEASE DON’T let me find out you send your kids to school sick!!
