  Supplies Used:
Mom's big heart 
Imagination
Computer
Plain Paper
12 pack of Coke boxes
Glue

Tape

Foam Pieces for Backing
Toothpicks 
Chop Sticks
Yarn

Stay out of my ROOM!!!

     I have 2 kids and a huge house to hold all of us comfortably, but because I work graveyards and my 2 year old wont sleep completely through the night, him and my 12 year old share a room.
    My 12 year old feels like she has no private space and she is at that transitioning stage in life that she needs her own. Well I try my best to get my 2 year old out of there and into his own room.
     My daughter spends lots of time in her bedroom weather she is playing on her computer or reading her latest great book, she stays in there soaking up every second that her little brother is not tugging on her coat tails. So this is what I see throughout my day...




    Well I hope everyone focus' on the white blur. lol... Alright I know horrible picture hold on here is a better one...



    This is my daughter's first signs of rebellion and needing her own space by herself, but my poor child has no creative bone in her body or she is just simply put 'Lazy'.
     I can not handle looking at it anymore and so I am setting out to start a project and try to spend some quality time with my kids.



    I am sitting in the middle of my living room floor and tons of ideas flowing right now, this could be dangerous for me and for my daughter.
    Well it has begun and now I have set out to create the coolest portable 'Stay Out of my ROOM' sign for her to hang on her door. And I think it will be a surprise, I am not going to tell her till she sees it for the first time hanging on her bedroom door.
     I remember when I was young and we tried to hang the most offensive posters up and all the fights with my Grandparents. My daughter has this single piece of lined paper and chicken scratch all over it, I feel bad for her.



     Elbows deep and my little nice jester has now become me setting out to make the best Keep Out sign any 12 year old has ever seen. 
    Tonight is my Monday back at work and the graveyard shift screw me up and they get me all backwards, so it is going to take me a couple of days. My goal is done by the time she gets home from school Friday afternoon.
    Wish me luck.....      Lots and Lots of Luck and Prayers...

I CAN BE A BITCH

To show my natural bitchy side I am going to tell you a story.
About 3 weeks ago me and my boyfriend were at each others throats constantly, normal stress related problems you deal with everyday.
Well when we made up he wanted to do something nice for me and so he goes out and buys me a bottle of Code which is $80. Fill you in a little deeper I had been out of perfume for a couple of weeks and needed it, but I also can't smell and so do not shop for those types of items for myself or alone.
So anyways he comes home with this expensive, most awesome smelling perfume and gives it to me. A huge smile across his face saying, "Oh yeah this is going to end with me naked tonight!"
Okay, so not total bitch because I do really appreciate the thought and I know what he was intending, but me being me lets my brain do it's own thing.
So silently in my head I am thinking I can't smell so why would I spend $80 on something I will get not pleasure from what so ever.
I love him and I see that he was trying. I love the perfume and I get complements all of the time especially serving tables graveyards during a bar rush when all the drunk girls come in to eat.
I was a wonderful present and I love it, but I don't think that I showed him that I truly love it. I think I hurt his feelings a little bit with my lack of excitement and that was never my plan




Today he saw what me excited is all about and that when you take away the flash and bling that money buys you I like simple things.
I am a writer and spend every second I am not working, sleeping or playing with the kids on my computer.
This time my Baby wanted to get me something special this what I got.





I am so excited and I haunted him like a little kid after seeing their desert before dinner begging over and over again. "Please put it together right PLEASE!"
He got my 2 year old son a new book with 3-D glasses and he was setting it all up for him and here I am come on please please please.
I am so excited and waiting for it to be together so I can play is killing me.
Lets compare... $80...
$35 for a computer desk that I am in love with and am so excited for having. Now I smell great while I am writing away over in my little corner of the living room on my brand new cool ass computer desk.






Thanks Baby I love it!!!

I AM THE DRIVER IN THIS CAR

I try to be proficient in everything that I do. I love to learn and I am a fast learner so after knowing something I try to master it, simplify and delegate my time more usefully.

To be in control and know where you are going in life one must first know themselves. I got the chance to take a long hard look at myself while I was in prison serving on a 6 year D.O.C sentence. I had plenty of time to get to know who I am and figure out if I liked what I saw.
I know I am not perfect and that I am only human, but I can honestly say that I know who I am and that I am happy with what I see.

Know your surroundings. Know what you are facing everyday. There is no reason that people get shocked at what they encounter during their day, when we should know what to expect because people are creatures of habit.
Know your family. Know your bosses and fellow employees. Know the people you encounter everyday at the gas station or bank. Know your customers or clients.
It’s as simple as this. You know the cops will pull you over for speeding. Your boss will fire you for a No Call No Show. You wont get paid if you have no customers. The world will die without any water. Your car wont run without gas. We can not live with no money.

Show people what you expect from them by doing for them. Set the example. Never ask something of someone that you yourself would not do.

Take responsibility for your own actions. We are a world of blamers, it is never our fault it was the guy in front of me, you know the one who just left. Not true, we only have to deal with what we caused or did. Stand up and admit your faults, you would get much more respect and you’d feel better about yourself.

"SOMETIMES IT IS MY FAULT. SOMETIMES IT IS ALL ME."

I control what happens to me and where I end up. The world doesn’t owe me shit, if I want it I have to go get it.

Know one said you have to like me!!!

            

      
I am not a selfish person and I do not know how to change and become a selfish human being, it is just not in me. I am not a Lazy person. I have lost everything in my life once before and I have two kid's livelihoods in my hands so if hard work is all I have to do to keep a life for those children then that seems pretty easy to me. I am a honest person and I would rather someone to hate me because I was being honest and true to myself then like me just because I tell them what they want to here. 
If you have a question just ask me and I will tell you whats up. And yes the whole world knows I am a B**** but at least I am being REAL... I am not perfect... I am ME!

Somebody has to say it!!!

            I am surrounded by stupid people. People all around with no common sense, no brains, no concept of what is really going on. Some of these people are just acting stupid in hopes to just coast on through life. Others are simple minded and have no clue where to even go to find the answer let alone figure something out on their own. No matter how you cut that pie it gets draining to have to deal with these people every day of my life.


People in the crosswalk
    We live in a time and age where we are all hurry little worker ants on this planet, always rushing and running late everywhere. Traffic is such a cluster fuck these days on the streets and our human ways of waiting till the last minute to do anything, leaves us hurrying through our days.
   
Now, here is what everyone wishes someone would say...

    Unless you are walking with crutches and a broken leg, if you are over the age of 50, carrying a cane or walking with a walker then you should have the common sense to hurry the fuck up so that others can get where they need be. People want to take their sweet time getting across the street and it pisses me off.


"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscience stupidity."
Stupid things that get under my skin:

       People who do not listen. DO NOT ask me a question if you really didn’t want the answer because you have ignored me as soon as I started to explain this to you.
      

      People who make you wait for a phone call. I am taking your order along with 3 other tables orders and have tables who need my attention as well, but sure I can wait while you answer the call.
 

      People who cannot count. If you cannot figure out basic elementary school math then just hand the cashier your twenty, get your change and get out of the way. Don’t try to figure out what else to hand her to get a even $5.00 back as change.
 

       Annoying pets that shed all over you and never get away from you. I like petting you and I will, but god give me some breathing room. You are all in my space and needy, STOP.
People who let their kids act like fools in public or scream through the grocery stores.


      Lazy people/Rude people/Liars/Thieves
 

     People who use their power to make your life hell everyday. Like your boss at work who rides your ass more then anyones else, or is always looking and waiting for you to make a mistake so he can rub your nose in it like a little puppy who just pissed on the living room floor.
      

       Those Mom’s who use the system. I hate when woman have babies and then live off the system. They don’t pay their bills, they don’t pay for their food and they don’t pay taxes either. The ones who wouldn’t take advantage and would only use it for what it is for, which is temporary assistance not the rest of your life trust fund, get turned down and shown the door.
       

       People that say they can’t find a job. I will tell you what, the job market does suck and the rate of pay for employees is not at par for surviving in the times, but we need a job to make it through life. If you can’t find a job really then come see me I will give you one of my 3 jobs. I found them all to, all by myself.
       

        People who post pictures of themselves all over the place. We all know that you think you are super hot and can have any man.
