What a Weekend......

So actually it wasn't that my weekend was just so immaculate....was more so the fact that I was able to just get away!  I arrived in time to party with my sis Rami at Club Zouk!!!  Saw some past friends from school and a love interest that I've been friends with for quite some time.  Stayed at the Sheraton, beautiful, had never had a room where you have to use your key to access your floor ;-)  Breakfast served on the top floor....was just all around nice.  Now the game on the other hand....smh  1. It seemed as though Fall just skipped Dallas and that Jack Frost decided to tag along with us.  2. We, as in my Alma Mater, LOST!  Ugh.....  Besides that had a great trip.  My cousins tagged along with my children and besides freezing our tails off and then getting lost on the way back to the car (in which we had to walk around the entire fair grounds to get back to our lot) we had a blast!  I didn't get out on Saturday....had every intention to but after the cold I ended up in the bed by 10pm smh  Got some good sleep though lol

Next up - HOMECOMING!!  I love visiting Louisiana and this will definitely be a blast :-)

Finally......

It's the weekend!!!

I have been awaiting this day, like millions of others of course, but today we leave to travel to Dallas, TX :-)  This weekend my job plays my Alma Mater in football and they both have a losing streek smh.....  Debating my school at work is like debating politics and religion therefor I stay away from it as much as possible lol

Any who, excited!  Excited to get away for a bit, even if for a weekend.   Excited about visiting the State Fair and just enjoying my babies :-)  I hadn't written in a bit but forgot to mention that I am now the proud owner of a 2010 Champagne Nissan Altima and have been loving every ride!  Before our rides out of town, while exciting, were very HOT!  I owned a '98 Ford Escort, no air, stick shift (which I loved) but after awhile the tape deck (yes tape deck) went out and we weren't even able to plug our iPod up anymore for music......making trips very boring.  All of that is in the past :-)  I thank God for my old Betsy.....she got me many places....many states and most importantly through school and lasted even with starting my new career.  I must say we've truly been blessed.....

I hope that you have a wonderful weekend....remember to relax and take time to enjoy quietness and peace.

It's a beautiful thing ;-)

Player Down.....

So my son plays football, has been for a very long time now (about 8 years).  Last year he wasn't able to play and that's of no one's fault but his own.  We reside in the great state of Texas and here although the children can play in Middle School there is this "No Pass No Play" rule.  Well of course my son decided to be show stopper and class clown of class and played NOTHING for the very first time last year.  I was not about to pay for him to join a league if all he had to do was shut up, focus, and complete work in class and out.  Well him not playing last year has done wonders!  Grades AND behavior are awesome....even at home!  But now we may have another issue......after the first game last week he began to complain of some pain around his waist.  Not sure if it's his waist or maybe a muscle but I'm praying nothing major.  My son loves to play but right now I'm more concerned with his health and making sure he's alright.  Will play nurse mommy tonight and make sure he rest in tub, the ice the area, repeat.

Praying all goes well.....

What a year!

Well well lets see.....once again I have not been on my blogging duty!  So much as happened in the last year and I'm so grateful to God.  I've purchased my first new car :-) 

New job at a University (which happens to be playing against my Alma Mater this weekend), still single yet do have somenew new in our lives.....he still has some growing to do and I've recently learned that so do I but I've learned so much about myself and my love life.  Have options....they're always great right?  Anyhoo my girlfriends are doing awesome, being blessed with jobs and family expansions!  My children are doing awesome!  My son has done a total 360 on me.....completes  chores, cleans room, cleans BODY *giggles*, and grades are definitely much better all without my reminder.  My daughter is still the Diva that she is lol  Just received a free upgrade for her phone and is in iPhone Heaven smh.....  Her behavior is the same, attitude here and there from them both but nothing major and I'm such a proud mother.  I'm not perfect but I continue to thank God for his many blessings thrown my way on a daily basis.

School update - I have finished my Master's!!!  Love those three little letters......M.....B......A.... ;-) and now applying to a PhD Program for Juvenile Deliquency at Prairie View A&M University (Praying all goes well). 

Had a little spout with my manager but have realized the amazment with just a lil change in my attitude and reminder of my BIGGER picture and all is well.  "Yes ma'am, no ma'am, thank you, no problem" have become my best friends Monday - Friday 8am to 5pm :-)

Well that's a small glance into my lil life for now.......more to come!
