CHRISTMAS is 6 days away!!!

It is December 19, 2011 and it doesn’t feel like Christmas is 6 days away, I don’t know what it is, Maybe cause there is no snow outside, so it doesn’t look like Christmas, Maybe it’s because I’m just not in the Christmas spirit even though I want to be. Or it could be all this talk about people not know what the meaning of Christmas is. I’m not sure what it is. But it just doesn’t feel like Christmas.

Ok let me touch on each point, (some more than others)

I live in the Midwest, I’ve lived in the Midwest all my life and usually when it’s Christmas there is Snow outside and the snow gives it a Christmasy feeling. But we don’t have any and even with people having their Christmas lights outside, and we have a tree up, it just doesn’t seem like Christmas…now don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining about not having snow…I really wish there were Palm Trees out front …

I don’t know where my Christmas spirit is…I think I’ve lost it through out the years, this is not the first year I’ve been without it. I get kinda of down this time of year, because I wish we had more family to Celebrate the Holidays with. We haven’t done that in over a decade. It would be nice to see my Mom on Christmas or even my Sister. My nieces and nephews and last but certainly not least my Son…but I’m going to focus on redeeming my Christmas Spirit so on Christmas Morning I can wake up feeling all Jolly like..

And Lastly…I’m so sick and tired of people talking about their kids and kids in general don’t know what Christmas is about, or don’t know the meaning of Christmas…and oh it’s better to Give than to Receive ….Well if your kids don’t know what Christmas is about or what it means teach them, that’s if you know your self. That’s an easy fix to this “Problem” just teach them…it’s really not that hard..you don’t have to make them volunteer (not saying it’s not good to Volunteer) or not get them gifts, to teach them what Christmas means, cause that’s really not teaching them anything about Christmas. And yeah it is better to give than to receive, but in order for you to be a giver, there has to be a receiver….

The last thing I’m going to say on this matter is…Christmas represents Jesus Birthday…on Birthdays we give gifts…I know it’s not our birthday…but Jesus gave us the Ultimate Gift …LIFE, so what’s wrong with giving on this Day…

Me..

I know sometimes he gets tired of me, even though he assures me that he doesn't ....but I know dealing with me everyday can be a lot. I know I am a bit over the top, or maybe even a lot over the top. Most people can only deal with me in small doses. So why wouldn't he get tired to.

And on top of being over the top in general, I am very opinionated, out spoken and very emotional and I will cry sometimes just because. I get lonely because I feel have no friends, I also get depressed sometimes because I feel like nobody understands me. And on top of all that I'm a whole lot of Fabulous..

So why wouldn't he get tired, of me sometimes...

I know he loves me, I know he wants to be with...I'm just not so convinced that he doesn't get tired of me...sometimes ...

No Santa Claus....

So I told the Princess that there wasn’t a Santa Claus… Well let me back up and tell you how it came about…

This actually happened a couple of weeks ago..but I’m telling the story now..lol

So the Princess was going over her 3 page Christmas List…trying to down size it. And she stated that she wanted another American Girl Doll… I’m thinking does she know this damn doll is 100 plus dollars (and that’s just for the damn doll, her glasses and to get her ears pierced, no extra clothes or nothing) ..So she is going on about how she would like one, and what she would name her. I said Um MaMa (that’s what I call her) You’re not getting another American Girl Doll, you already have one, and they cost to much... She come back with but I only have 1. I say.. some people don’t have any…and of course she said Santa Claus can get me one he can get anything… I said Baby we need to to talk ….

So I said MaMa, you need to sit down, I have to tell you something…so we sit down and I proceed to tell her about Santa, how he used to be real and really long time ago. And He did deliver toys back then, and all these years his legacy is still around, but unfortunately there is NO Santa…and Momma and Daddy buys all your gifts for Christmas…

So now I’m ready for the tears, and the dramatics, (cause she dramatical) and she’s quiet for a minute or 2. then she looks at me and says “So people has been lying to me all this time…….

Black Women and Reality TV

So I watch Reality TV like most of us, and I'm all on Facebook posting about it, Tweeting about it on Twitter, because for one it's funny to watch and even funnier to talk about it with others.

But I've noticed a lot of websites, blogs and people have said that the Black women on these shows, (Housewives of Atlanta, Basketball Wives, Love and Hip Hop etc) portray us as Black women in a bad light...WELL UM NOT REALLY, yeah I said it not really...the Reality of it is most Black women act/behave that way and sometimes even worst...I know I'm going to get women saying I don't do that, or My and my girl don't do that...well FYI if you don't then that's good, I feel like I don't either. But you know somebody and or is related to somebody who does....Let me say that again we ALL know somebody and or are related to somebody, that is a Hood Rat, Ghetto, Trifling, or my favorite a Ride or Die Chick. And if you say no I don't know those kind of people. That person just might be YOU.

As Black people the majority of us are aggressive by nature, and being an aggressive women whose thought process is emotional can lead to disaster. Example, finding out your Boo is fucking around on you, with your homegirl and she pregnant... Example find out that your Boo has a wife he never told you about....Example Finding out your Boo is on the DL.... Example Finding out your Boo has given you a STD..Get the picture...and yes in any of these situations (not just limited to these) we can go into Ghetto crazy girl mode with the quickness...

Now I know there are some of us who, think before we react, but not the majority..

WHY??

First of all Why, as parents are they even allowing their kids to listen to Lil Wayne? His music is for Adults not kids. We wonder why our youth especially our girls are growing up so fast. A lot of it has to do with Parenting Skills.

Stop trying to be friends with your kids, Why on earth would you allow your baby girl, your princess write a letter to Lil Wayne, it is not cute at all, AT ALL...Now what happens he if answers back? hmmmm and not the way they you want him too, then these parents will be having a fit trying to sue him for disrespecting thier babies, I mean his mouth is out of control, but so are these parents for allowing this madness, putting these babies in a grown up position..

Please moniter what your child watch, what you say around them...

Come on Black People, we have GOT to do better... SMH
