AS WE WAVE GOODBYE

WELL, FOLKS, IT WONT BE LONG NOW. ITS ONLY FOUR DAYS TIL WE SET SAIL FOR THE WESTERN CARIBBEAN. I HAVE WAITED SINCE LAST YEAR FOR THIS TRIP. IT IS NOW RIGHT ON TOP OF ME AND I FEEL LIKE MY NERVES ARE PULLING ME EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE. THANK THE LORD FOR THE GOOD MEDS..LOL

I STARTED PACKING DAYS AGO AND STILL HAVENT GOT EVERYTHING STRAIGHT. I PROBABLY NEVER WILL. THERE WILL BE SOMETHING THAT I WILL FORGET. GUESS WHAT ...THERE ARE WALLY WORLDS ALL UP AND DOWN INTERSTATE 95..WHEW..

I LOVE TO CRUISE. THE FIRST TIME I WENT I WAS SO NERVOUS. I WAS KINDA AFRAID OF THE "OCEAN". I DONT SWIM IN THE OCEAN. NEVER HAVE. NEVER WILL. SO WHY GO ON A BIG BOAT IN THE MIDDLE OF ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IM AFRAID OF. WELL, I DONT KNOW WHY I DID BUT I AM SO GLAD I DID. I LOVE IT. MY THOUGHTS NOW. IF YOU GO ON VACATION. YOU GET A ROOM, AND GO OUT TO EAT, THEN HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND FOR ENTERTAINMENT. ON A BOAT ITS ALL THERE. YOU JUST GET THE LUXURY OF GOING TO PLACES YOU'VE NEVER BEEN, OR THAT YOU HAVE BEEN AND WANTED TO GO BACK, BUT ITS ALL AT YOUR FINGERTIPS. THE COST IS SOMETIMES EXSPENSIVE, BUT IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN ON ONE. I WILL SAY DONT KNOCK IT UNTIL YOU TRY IT.

I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE UP MY MIND ABOUT CARRYING THE KIDS AGAIN UNTIL I GO ON THIS TRIP. I HAVE MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THIS. I WANT THEM THERE AND I WANT THEM TO ENJOY THIS TRIP. I WANT THEM TO LOOK BACK ON THIS AND SAY THAT MY MOM TOOK ME PLACES WHEN I WAS YOUNG. WHEN I WAS YOUNG MY MOM TOOK ME EVERYWHERE WITH HER. I HONESTLY CANT REMEMBER ALL THE PLACES BUT I KNOW IT WAS ALOT. THATS WHAT I WANT FOR MY KIDS. THE ONLY THING IS ...WELL AGAIN MY NERVES. I CANT SEND THEM TO THERE GRANDDADS...LOL. ITS ONE WEEK AND EVEN IF THEY ARE ROWDY AT TIMES THEY WILL BE WITH ME. THATS WHAT MATTERS.

I PRAY WE WILL HAVE A SAFE TRIP.

I MIGHT NOT BE WRITTING FOR THE NEXT WEEK AND 1/2 BUT I WILL WHEN I GET SETTLED BACK IN HERE AT THE LONELY STREET HOMETEL.

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY. DONT EAT TOO MUCH TURKEY.

ONE MORE THING. I AM BREAKING A TRADITION THIS YEAR. FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER I HAVE GONE SHOPPING THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING WITH MY BEST FRIEND MS TRUJILLO. I WILL MISS THIS THIS YEAR AND MY HEART IS SAD. I HOPE SHE KNOWS THAT NO MATTER WHERE I AM(WHICH WILL BE JAMACIA) THAT MY HEART IS WITH HER AND SO IS MY SHOPPING SPIRIT. I LOVE YOU GIRL AND DONT EVER FORGET THAT..

P.S. LORD IM GONNA MISS GETTING UP EARLY WITH YOU AND GAME PLANNING.. I WILL BRING A NICE SOUVENIER BACK TO YOU OK.

WINTER CLEANING....APRING ANEW

I HAVE OFTEN WONDERED WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE REALLY HAPPY. IF ONLY FOR A MOMENT I AM THAT. HAPPY. CONTENT. AND ONLY A LITTLE STRESSED. EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT THEIR OWN ROUTINE IS OF SPRING CLEANING. WELL I HAVE INVENTED MY OWN CLEANING. W---I---N---T---E---R (SEASON THAT I DECIDED TO DO AWAY WITH SOME "ONE") I CLEANED IT OF ALL THE NEGATIVE ( MY EX BOY-FRIEND OF 9 LONG YEARS.)I GOT RID OF THE OLD ONE THAT WAS USELESS AND ALL THE OTHER STUFF I JUST DIDNT WANT ANYMORE AND MADE HIM LEAVE. I HONESTLY AND TRULY AM GLAD I DID THIS. IT TOOK ALOT OF DETERMINATION. I HAVE TRIED TO DO THIS FOR AWHILE BUT SOMETIMES ITS HARDER TO DO THAN TO SAY YOU WANT TO. I WAS TIRED OF WHAT MY LIFE HAD BECOME. I THINK ALOT OF NERVOUSNESS WAS DUE TO INSECURITY, THE LACK OF KNOWING, AND JUST PLAIN SCARED. I HAD GOOD FRIENDS TO GET ME THRU THE FIRST COUPLE OF DAYS. TO MY SUPRIZE EACH DAY HAS GOTTEN EASIER. ANOTHER THINGS IS IS THAT I HAVE FOUND SOMETHING THAT MAKES EACH DAY A LITTLE MORE ENJOYABLE(

WHAT I THINK?

As I was growing up I would often sit and listen to my mom or dad tell me what I should do or what I was going to do (if i wanted to live here under their roof), and wonder why dont you ask me what I think I should do? This moment in time has been poking its head into my now grown up life as I try to tell my soon to be 17 year old son what I now know what he needs to do. The blank look on his face when I "suggest" what he might do tells me those words that I hear in the back of my mind ("You'll see one day when you have kids") were true. I would only admit this to ...well ...me. The thing I cant comprehend is how much the world is changing. When I was young(er)...I would have never and I mean NEVER talked with such sturness to my parents. I was too afraid that I would get grounded or at the worst end up with no teeth. Not that my parents ever threatened me with that, but I had an understanding from a very young age that respect was the upmost important thi

WHAT DO YOU DO?

I REALLY HAVE ENJOYED THE FACT THAT THE GIRLS ARE LEARNING HOW TO SPEND MONEY. THE MONEY THEY GOT FOR THIER BIRTHDAY, AS I SAID IN AN EARLIER POST, WAS ABOUT TO BURN HOLES IN THEIR POCKETS. WELL, NOW THAT THE PURCHASES HAVE BEEN MADE SOME REGRETS ARE COMING. EMILY IS STILL VERY PLEASED WITH HER AMERICAN GIRL DOLL. SHE TOTES HER AROUND AND TREATS HER WELL. I GUESS WHEN ITS YOUR OWN MONEY YOU TEND TO TAKE BETTER CARE OF THINGS. NOW ON THE OTHER HAND ERICA IS REGRETTING GETTING A CAMERA. SHE LOVES HER CAMERA BUT JUST CANT STAND THE FACT THAT EMILY HAS AN AMERICAN GIRL DOLL. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE AND AFTER ALL THE SUBTRACTING ERICA STILL HAD MONEY. SHE HAS HELD ONTO THAT. SHE ALSO HAS BEEN SAYING SHE WANTS AN AMERICAN GIRL DOLL. ME, AS THE MOM, SAYS TO HER, "WORK HARD AND EACH WEEK ADD YOUR MONEY TO WHAT YOU HAVE AND SOON YOU CAN BUY ONE". FOLKS LET ME TELL YOU HOW SNEAKY THIS KID IS. SHE HAS LISTENED TO THINGS SO WELL IN LIFE THAT SHE CALLED HER DADDY AND LEFT HIM
