Jewels

My mother once told me that love wasn’t a game, I said “ma, these boys is silly and they’re all the same.”
She said “mind games are fun, but you might end up playing with the wrong one.”
She sat me down and started dropping jewels. I rolled my eyes thinking “Im never gona fall for any of these fools.”


She said “you might not believe me but I was once young too, I had plenty boys trying to get it just like you.”
She told me love hurts like hell when you fall deep, and unrequited love hurts enough to stop your heart beat.
Sometimes what you think is love is really lust. Most teenage boys just want to bag girls like it’s a must.
It’s a necessity to have bragging rights, they’ll tell you whatever you want to hear if you turn off the lights.
She told me when you love hard things can get heavy quick, you gotta keep a cool head and make sure not to slip.


All it takes is one time, to have your dreams take the back seat over a few seconds of bliss.
It’s hard enough when babies make more babies; but its worse when young girls never get to become young ladies.
What you don’t know CAN & WILL hurt you; never put it on someone else to look out for you.
You are your own protector so guard your body as such; “he said he loves me” is never enough.
There’s too much out here to go about it so carelessly, the last thing you want to catch is an STD or HIV.
We live in a world where things aren’t cut and dry, sometimes you gotta dig deeper and question why.

Love like this..

Okay, so I have to sit at my desk during my lunch hour since I came in late today. Ugh, Im hungry as hell but these bottle caps will have to hold me over till my baby gets back from lunch. I took my daughter to get her 18 month check up…she was pissed after her shots Lol. I feel bad cause I didn’t get to go out to lunch with my hubby on his birthday but…we have later tonight to toast and celebrate. I bought him some chocolate covered stawberries as a little something for his birthday, they are supposed to be delivered today so lets hope he likes that little gesture. : ) His 1500 dollar watch wont be in his hands till his bday party on saturday lol.

I am honestly blessed to have a strong man at my side. He is my best friend and such a wonderful person. It will be our first year anniversary as man and wife on Dec. 5th. Not to say that our relationship is perfect at all times; we are humans with emotions, needs and wants. But I am blessed to have met this man and chose him to be the one I walk hand in hand with on this beautiful journey.

Have a blessed day everyone!

IT KILLS ME...- MELANIE FIONA

Honestly, i heard this track and started laughing...not cause its a funny song, but because i was at that point once in my life. I look back at it now and I am better for it, but damn...you know how some songs can take you back to a moment in time. All this shit came rushing back to me, girl can sang! If you havent coped her album "The Bridge", get on that. Thanks REGGIE for your post on it, put me on to some good music.  Love is Love.


Have a blessed monday!!

Super Duper MAMA

You ever feel like sometimes, you’re doing a little too much and aren’t getting the recognition you deserve for it? You frontin with a smile as big as Mr. Ed’s as if you got everything under control, knowing damn well…you aint got nothing undercontrol lol. See in my mind, when I want to do something I plan it out…somewhere btwn point A and Point B…something goes left. Either something happens, or I get sidetracked…which is very easy when you have a soon to be 18 month old diva in your house. (*A WHOLE OTHER TOPIC I’LL GET BACK TO*)

We tend to try and take on a lot because as women we are told you have to be mother, home maker and wife. That’s 3 different women balled up into 1 super human being. Lol. It’s nice to hear that we are appreciated, even more sweet when its that unexpected show of appreciation. To my hard balancing act queens!- here is to you!! To LOVE, JOY & A LITTLE BIT OF SANITY. LOL.

"Tomorrow": Written by- L. Vasquez

Though it hurts like hell baby, keep your head up
The rain may be pouring now, but it’ll let up
The troubles of the world got you down and out of luck
Just know, that though I can’t ease the pain away
Today will soon be over and you’ll have a brighter day

Don’t listen to the doubts cause they’ll make you doubt yourself
Know that you’re worth more then gold when you love yourself
Dry your teary eyes cause it just dims your light
Out of sight and out of mind; sometimes you have to uplift yourself


You are beautiful, intelligent and articulate
You are everything and more so don’t you ever doubt yourself
You are gracious and stunning with a walk your own
You’re a queen who sits rightfully on her throne
You are more then meets the eye because you’re wise beyond your years
So here’s to who you are and who you could be- cheers!


Though it hurts like hell baby, keep your head up
The rain may be pouring now, but it’ll let up
The troubles of the world got you down and out of luck
Just know, that though I can’t ease the pain away

We Remember...9/11/2001

"A memory of bravery and self-sacrifice, and the love that lays down its life for a friend–even a friend whose name it never knew."

"Mother"- Written by: L. Vasquez

I can’t thank you enough for this gift called life
You fed me and clothed me; taught me right from wrong
You blessed me with the opportunity to be a mother and a wife
There is so much about you that I admire, I may of never told you
I love that you’re about your kids; supportive in everything we do
Things may go left but you’re always right beside me
Through thick and thin mama you never left me solo
You wiped away my tears and you held my hand when things got scary
You were always two steps ahead like a visionary

There’s a lot to be said about a mother, because she is your mother and compares to no other
Diamonds and pearls and material things can’t take her place
I know for a fact cause my mama shines brighter then a million jewels put together
She shines even brighter with a smile upon her face

You and I have had to lean on eachother when we got stuck between a rock and a hard place
I always thought of you as fearless, somehow impermeable to lifes low blows
You weren’t afraid to show me that you cry too, up until then I didn’t know that side of you
You were always jokes and laughs trying to make light of any issues
That in turn gave me a higher respect for you
You are my super hero who fly’s higher then anybody out there
We don’t just keep it moving; we keep it light speed ahead- Cruising
