Family is irritating me....one gene at a time

There's a hurricaine a comin'!

At present I don't have cable or the converter boxes that allow for local channels. I find out a few days ago that there is a category 2 hurricane headed to obliterate Columbia SC. This information is provided by my 67 year old mother, in a very mater of fact tone. *SIGH* now I think to myself, this must be what the residents of various parts of New Orleans felt like. I mean, according to mom, we were required to evacuate. I had a total of $10.00 to my name, and 1/4 tank of gas. How would I leave? To where? Later in the week, a cousin advised that we would only receive rain, and some winds. I guess I learned a valuable lesson. I should be receiving child support from my estranged husband, and I need to start a savings, when I can afford to put something away LOL. However my prayers are with anyone that is impacted by this mofo :(

I DON'T NEED ANYONE FROM THE RUFF FAMILY

To be stolen from and betrayed by members of your own family continuosly lets me know that I have to terminate the relationship altogether

Cutting off the negative energy

Today marks the first day that I cut off certain family members that have nothing positve to add to my or my children's lives. They shall remain nameless, howver let's just say that offenses include: not identifying with our family because they decided to shift races....always commenting on my parenting and treating me with disrespect. I don't desire or need it, so I'm moving out of state and my numbers will change. The End

Neices!!!!

I'm having the greatest week ever! One of my brothers allowed their 2 daughters plus a best friend to visit my children and I for the entire week!!!! Yay!

Happy Easter!

Off to a very late start!!! Got food poisoning last nite...recently became a vegetarian, and still haven't dyed eggs or put together the easter baskets waah! I'm moving at a snails pace, but nevertheless I'm moving lol! Happy Easter ya'll!!!

Family Time

Been spending allot of time with my brother Troy and his nieces. It really has changed my life. I'm so use to being "The Lone Ranger." Knowing someone has my back, cooking for my children and I, playing with them and being a positive male role model, just feels great! I don't feel so sad that they have a father that absolutely refuses to be there for them. Although nothing takes the place of a "father"....they are fortunate to have some kind of male role model in their lives, and for this I feel both grateful and blessed!

Quality Time

I love spending time with my teenage son Kejan. like now, were watching a scary movie, laughing at the graphic scenes and wondering whose going to be slaughtered next lol! It's times with my children, laughing and enjoying one another's company, that I'm the happiest. The greatest thing about kids, is that the love is unconditional. They have TRUE loyalty. They love you, flaws and all....and they have the most forgiving spirits. Think about a baby or even a toddler... You discipline or scold them, yet you're the one they run to or cry after when you're not around.

The greatest blessing God gave me is the ability to bear children and be a mother. I have 4 children and I'm 39 years old. I still want at least 1 more. People would judge me for that last statement because I'm currently a single parent. Although I'm married, I'm separated and receive no help from my spouse. he's finding his way in life (rolling my eyes lol). But it's my right! As a woman, as a mother, and if it's God's will, I'm having another within 2 years
