I'm not crazy...its just PMS!!

I really really do not like eve. Who is eve ? The heffa that ate the fruit in the garden so now we have to suffer 2 weeks out of every month. First PMS then the unnecessary bodily fluids we must loose all because of her disobedience..ugg! Women should be allowed to either be off work during this two weeks or if that's not possible they should be placed in a room with chips of choice, music & left alone. Can somebody put that on a ballot? As I get older the PMS becomes worse. I don't like to hear anyone talk let alone breathe. Poor hubby is just a confused soul. He just remains quiet & it took him less than a year to figure that out. No I will not take medication. Its medication they give to crazy people. I am not crazy its just PMS...GRR & ARRG

PROCLAMATION OF A 20 YEAR OLD

When I was in my 20's I swore that when it came time for my hair to gray I would NEVER dye my hair. Why? I mean that salt and pepper is beautiful, regal and age appropriate. WELL!!! After my 37th birthday I notice this single strand of silver in my 3o something head and I am screaming HECK NO...IT MUST GO!!! Yes Mrs Anderson will be calling up NYHC to wash this gray right outta my head...sorry I aint ready...nope just not ready

BLESSED AT 30+

I have decided that after 30 these are the best years of my life. I have embraced where I am. I have celebrated a birthday I am proud to announce I am officially 37. I have the most fab friends. I got so much love this pass Friday that I almost cried. It was beautiful to see my friends, family, co-workers pour in & shower me with love. I was truly humbled & overwhelmed. Then the next day I spent with my hubby & my mommy. Two of the most important people in my life. My mommy spent the whole weekend for Mother's day. It was awesome. Having my mom, mother in law & my 2nd mother in law, hubby & sister in laws. And being able to shower them with love. God blessed me not only emotionally but financially this weekend. I had the best weekend I feel extremely blessed I did all the things I love to do with all the people I love. I ate, sang, danced, shopped, pampered myself & it was amazing. So being 30+ is alright with me :)

FULL CIRCLE

This weekend I had the occasion of having to assist in the care of my grand mother. I mentally debated this idea in my mind. My grandmother is in the early stages of dementia. So she is not competent. She has to be told when to eat, when to go to the bathroom and treated as if she was a child. At times she will act out because of her current state of mind. This worried me because I was not prepared to see my grandma like this. We called her madea. She practically raised me. She was a very strong. So it was hard for me to imagine me having to treat my grandma like a child. But my mom & dad having been caring for her full time for the last 6 months so they really needed a break. So I prayed & put my big girl shoes on & drove to Modesto. My grandma was lying in the bed & she looked so fragile. She saw me & had the biggest smile. She was on her best behavior. I just feed her & talked to her. She seemed happy to have me there which made me happy. When it came time to put her in the bath I was nervous. I ran her bath & left her to her own devices. But then I heard the water draining out of the tub so I went to check on her & she had accidentally taken the plug out. She began apologizing but I eased her my mind & told her I would take care of her. As I sat there bathing my grandma tears began to sting my eyes. I realized all the years she had taken care of me now it was my turn to take care of her. It brought me so much joy to know that I was able to do for her what she was sometimes unable to do for herself. So with mother's day approaching I realized the best gift I could give was to always be there for my mothers. My mother, grandmother & mother in law anyway I can. God has blessed me with some great ones & I will never take them for granted.
