???????

Puss: "mommy"

Me: "yes puss"

Puss: "don't judge me."

*crickets*

Everyone when I figure this one out, I will let you know. You all know I am slow, right....LOL

My Lady

After a bout wheezing and two treatment from the nebulizer, it was clear that we were heading to the ER.

Looking at the little bugger you couldn't tell he was sick, however you could hear the wheezing a mile away.

First, he walked into the ER like he owned the place, then was asking to see the triage nurse....LOL

puss: "mommy, where is the lady?"

me: "she's coming back"

puss: "ok"

Triage Nurse: "what's your name?"

puss: "I'm puss"

TN: "what wrong with puss today?"

puss: "I'm coughing"

She quickly triaged him and set him in the chair to administer treatment and left. Little puss was not having it, and soon as he was done he went after her.

puss: "mommy, I want to go see my lady."

me: *blink* "your who?"

As usual I'm too slow, so he marched off muttering "I go see my lady"

He promptly marched out the room and down the hallway, amongst oohs and ahhs(women are such suckers for babies) He ignore them and found his lady and gave her a hug.

puss: "thank you lady, I feel much better)"

He even claim the doctor as his lady and told her too that he felt much better..and she told him, he made her day....awww, isn't that sweet.

Men are retarded

I swear men either do not listen or their brain is preoccupied with nothingness, or the next booty call to hear their spouse or S/O talking.

Ladies please do not address them when

1) they are in front of the television.
2) when he is reading the sports section of the paper. THEY CANNOT MULTI TASK.

This is what they hear while you are talking

You: " honeyremembertotakeoutthetrashtonight"

Him: "uh huh"

You: "did you hear me?"

Him: "suuuure, no problem"

After the garbage truck has reached the dump yard.

You: "Didn't I ask you to take out the trash?"

Him: " No, when?"

*crickets* *crickets*

Now you have his undivided attention.

Him: "seroiusly, when?"

You: "yesterday, while you were watching the TV"

Him: " NO, you didn't" (with attitude)

You: *sigh* never mind.....next time I'll do the ish myself.

Ladies, I think its is a ploy among men, not to do any work.....they just act like they retarded.

Randomness

Excuse you?...I have three jobs and a BSc degree, what you got? Can you afford to feed me and my family? Then keep it moving homie. hanging out at the corner deli from morning til night, just don't do it for me.

Why does the sanitation department even bother with garbage bins, when its sooooo easy to throw garbage on the floor right next to it...Young man, yeah you in the car, that's just plain nasty.

Nigga what? Jigga who? F dat B**ch...whaaaaaaat??????, why do we have to listen to that mess so early or any time for that matter?....You're a grown ass man, my brother (like 45), get some headphones or turn that ish off.

"Rock of ages cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee" I need Jesus. I am usually good at ignoring people, but today was too much.

Skin Bleaching

I knew that Caribbean people had taken a liking to bleaching, and I could never wrap my head or thoughts around why this is so. But over the years I guess this has become a full blown obsession.

Check out this video

The unauthorised and abuse of these chemicals can lead to skin cancer or worse dead by absorption through the skin. Why do people do it only god knows.

Cute in a red dress

I was trying to decide what to wear to last sunday service, so I was trying on some dresses. Puss was busy playing his version of crash cars (where he flings the cars at each other across the room, then he chases them as flings them to the other side).

I tried on a few dress and shoes, parading up and down in front of the mirror trying to decide. Anyway, after a few I decided to try a new red dress I bought. Now I hate red and anything with red in it (except jelly donuts), but I decided that this is a new year and I am going to step out of safe mode for a bit.

I tried on the dress and stood looking in the mirror, when all of a sudden puss looks up and remarked "Wooooooooow, mommy you look so cute." with the biggest grin on his face.

Awwww, that was sweet, but it made me think that this boy was already here in spirit (because he acts like he's 22)....LOL.

Blinking Bus

Being late for work is not cool. As I got on the bus the only thing I could think of was to buss out singing, this song from one of my favorite caribbean artist- Lovindeer

Two hours late but mi finally get a bus
Wi pack up like sardine .........
mine yuh mash mi corn
lef mi pocket nuh bwoy
lawd wat a piece a heat
If yuh soil mi shirt wid yuh market basket , mi and yuh gwen fight.

So here we are ...............

Making bread and Kicking debt where it hurts

Haha! got yah...you all thought I meant money? Noooo, I meant bread that you eat. I will be making my own bread ..............LOL..........me, making bread..... ROFL. Don't get me wrong I can bake, I just never attempted bread. I will update you on that later.

So in keeping with cheap *wheeze* frugal living.....I decide to start making my own bread. I also spend money on a whim, and need to tighten the belt a little better.

I need a good ass whooping for letting my finances get out of hand. Apart from my student loan (crying for help with this one) I practically owe nothing ($1700.00). Last year I launched an all hell war with the cc companies and got that monkey off my back.

While I may no longer have looming cc debts, I still have my student loan. I have stared at it for a year now, trying to figure out how is God's name am I gonna put a dent in this bad boy.

So the first thing I did was as for a deferment, which I got for one year. One year might not seem like a lot, but while I am not an expert I am rolling up my sleeve to kick their butt as well.

So backtrack 7 years ago, I left my job to go to college. I didn't think about the bills I wasn't gonna be able to pay, I just jump in head first. Well, I landed head first on a rock..........yeah it hurt. Not only I had cc debts that was mounting, I also had a bill with IRS *blink*. No biggie, right? wrong. However, I found a job at a retail store and started paying the bills off. Oh the interest and the late fees were killing me. Long story short....I used my student loans to climb out of the debt hence my student loans now. Not a very good idea, but it beats being dragged to court to be embarrassed.

Okay so fast forward 2009, I am almost done with $1,700 still owing.....not bad huh!. Yeah but it was hard work. So, this money I will start to budget and save more, and I started with bread. Oh btw, my bread is finished and delicious if I might say so myself. It was soft and chewy, like I had just purchased it from the bakery.

puss: "mommy"

me: "yes puss"

puss: "good bread"

awww, I blushed for the second time today (tell you more about the first time later)

Since I buy organic bread, I saved $4.75 on a loaf of bread.........yaay me? Hmmm what else can I save on by making myself....and oh I shopped my own pantry as it was so simple, the only thing I bought was a packet of yeast for $0.89. I am off to make another one as yes you can guess, Big puss and little puss tore it up.
