oh no she didnt

        For those of you who don't know my daughter Rianna is in the 1st grade this year. She was super excited all summer although she did have her concerns. The first day of school came and went like a breeze. She had a great day. I got to meet her teacher, a really nice lady who ain't bout the bull shit to be plainly honest.. . . but i digress. I went 2 the school 2 pick her up. I pull up 2 the parent pick up and here she comes with her usual smile teacher in hand. Rianna jumps in the back seat & I get ready to pull off stopping as I notice her teacher is sticking her head in the window. The conversation went like this.
Teacher: Hello Mrs. Brown how are you?
Me: Good & yourself.
Teacher: Good thanks. I just wanted to let you know that today I had to move Rianna's desk for the second time. I did it once last week without contacting you to give her a chance to correct the issue but she continued so I had move her again & let you know.
Me:O.k well what is she doing?
Teacher: She's talking way to much.

Now believe it or not I was totally surprised. This is the kid who was the student of the month 3 times last year, & when she wasn't doing that she was the teachers aid & all the other jobs that requires good class behavior.
My question to all of you is this. What would a proper punishment be for a 6yr old first grader who can't seem 2 keep her mouth closed? I can't wait 2 hear what you think :)

taking the time

        Hello again everyone. I've been going through some thing's these last few weeks that have,against all attempts, kept me from my daily blog. I started this page as a way to express my feeling's. Not about anything particular or even important, just to express. People really underestimate the power of writing. Putting your thoughts on paper is the best way to say all the thing's your mamas up bringing wont let u. You can choose to show your final thoughts or keep them to yourself, but just the knowledge that their no longer being held hostage in your head sometimes is enough.
        At this time I would like to pledge that no matter what is going on in everyone else's life, i will not put myself, my wants, or my needs to the side. I will make my feelings and needs matter.


p.s) we'll see how long this lasts!  lol

cakes and colors, and fabric oh my!

      Oh how I've missed writting my daily post's. For the last couple of day's I have been helping a friend get started on her wedding plans. Not having had a traditional wedding myself, I didnt have the slightest idea what I was getting myself into.
        The blessed event has been set for sometime in June of next year. I thought that was plenty of time to start planning, but according to the bridal websites we're a few months behind. . . . go figure. On the bright side she's planning a small wedding so we'll make it. There's just so much 2 concider between the colors, location, guest list (thats the big 1).
        I've heard many people say " I'd never spend all that money to have a big wedding. Most of those people end up divorced anyway." What do you guys think. Big wedding or small wedding, or no wedding at all?

Hold that thought I'm getting a text

        From the time we wake up to the time we fall asleep, our lives are linked to some kind of moblie device. We're all guilty of it, may it be the cell phone, laptop, IPod, IPad, and all the other I's. There was a time when the only machine we depended on was a car. A time when staying connected meant spending time with someone often. Now and days we text someone to tell them to check their email to tell them we're gonna call. . . . anyone else see a problem with that? 
      We as 21st century people have relinquished control of our personal lives. I challenge you all to put your phones on slient for an evening. Go out to dinner with a friend and don't answer a call. Take your kids to the park & use that time to get to know your kids not to answer emails. it's not easy believe me I know, but it can be done.

word of the day- personal: of relating to or affecting a person

Be honest

        Today wraps up my first week of blogging. I hope you guy's have enjoyed reading it as much as I've loved writting it. I've got so many topic ideas running through my head I'm still trying to make sence of it all. I didn't have any expectations when I started writting this and to be honest I still don't but I'm lovin it none the less. I look forward to the future of this blog and I hope you do too! Thank's for reading =)

are we there yet?!

        These day's relaxation can be difficult to acquire. People go to work because they have to not because they want to. We used to be able to say "I'm stressed out! I need a vacation!" It worked to. We would pack up the family and hit the road to the nearest attraction that promises a glimpse into another world of colorful thrilling rides and finger licking food options. Yes that my friends is a vacation. Now instead of jumping in the car, gassing up, and taking off, you have to save up for at least a couple of months just to afford the gas! Then there's the hotel, food, entertainment, and shopping cause yes if I'm going on a vacation ima need my t-shirt and shot glass thank you very much!
        So now you've decided that you're going on vacation, you've been saving for anywhere from a few months to a year, and you're ready to book your trip. Thanks to the world of Internet, smart phones, and apps we have a plethora of sites to aid us in getting the best deal for our money. So after we've searched, compared, bid, and booked, we have our vacation package. Now if you're anything like me you start packing a week before you leave. The day finally comes, you've weighted every bag and measured every bottle, and after passing the never ending security checks (depending on where you're going) you're finally on the plane, tray table up, mobile devices off, seat belt on, ready to go.
        Now I would like to take a moment to ask a few questions. How many of you try to save a portion of your "spending money" for when you get home? How many of you will take a trip with a person you don't like just to get a better deal? How many of you stalk the cleaning carts to sneak extra toiletries (don"t laugh people do it)? How many of you spend your trip thinking about the bills that will be waiting for you when you get back?
        All these thing's are stressful. We work hard, and deserve to actually enjoy our vacation time. You might not have tuns to spend, but that doesn't mean you cant still have a good time.

word of the day- Relax: To seek rest or recreation

take a deep breath

        Yesterday was the first day in weeks that my morning was going right. I was up on time, had my coffee in peace, checked emails. I even got the kids up, ready, and out the door on time. Now anyone with half a brain knows this can't end well . . . well your right. My beautiful daughter Rianna whom I love so much locked the key in the car!
        Sometimes it feels like life is selling tickets for everyone elst to kick your butt. Stress, aggrivation, and problems are a part of life. You can either choose to roll with the punches or curle up into the fetal position and let life kick the snot out of you.
