The True Diva (So DivaLicious,...I am)'s Journal

out of seclusion
i hung out with my little bff today. we hit 6 stores and had mexican for lunch. she is growing so fast.

It's been such a LONG week! I am so glad Friday is here! I am in need of some rest and relaxation.

13 Years
I can't believe (that today) we have been married for 13 years! Where has the time gone? I love him more and more every single day.

Jaden woke me up this morning with a poem and a cup of tea.
His poem:
I love you
You love me
I made my mommy a cup of tea!</i)

today has been a crazy day,.....parties all around me everywhere but,..... I think I'll stay in the rest of the night.

Relapse
I am having a bad relapse. I am having double vision and getting dizzy. Yesterday I was at Chamicia's house and took a fall. Now my ankle is killing me! The thing is, Greg just started working for Lockheed Martin. We are out of insurance until 4-19-09. Sucks to be me.

Sinus Infection Hell
I am sniffling, sneezing, coughing and aching...I need some drugs! I have had a migraine from hell for three days now. I also keep getting this horrible pain behind my right eye. I should go to the doctor but I am broke. It sucks to live paycheck-to-paycheck, but you do what you gotta do. On top of all this, I have a bad sunburn! I was out watching my son playing football yesterday and my pale pasty butt didn't wear lotion.

Current Mood: sick

I have a very busy weekend,....
Jaden has a football game Saturday and Sunday. Somehow I want to manage to go to the theater to see this,....

I love Samuel Jackson and this looks awesome.

( just for you )

Its been a busy couple of weeks. School just started and it's been very hectic. I must have spent over $200 on just school supplies. That isnt even counting clothes. Alyssa is in Kindergarten and Jaden is in 1st grade.
Today I got a call from school that Jaden was sick with a bad cold and a fever of 102. It has only been 4 days of school and the poor kid is already sick. I had to go to school and pick him up. He is fast asleep at the moment and snoring like a bear. Tonight he has football practice so he may miss it. He will be so upset.
I also have Alyssa signed up on the cheering squad. She is so adorable. She loves being the center of attention and cheering for her brother. I can't wait for the first game on the 6th.

Round 2
My first interview was golden! I now have a working interview on Monday!! I really want this position. I will pretty much be running things at this doctors office. She says she wants to put me in charge of it all. I know I can do it! The money is right and because it's a dermatologist,....free facial chemical peels! The best part is Autumn (my best friend) works there as well!! PERFECT!

I was so proud of Alyssa today. She sung her heart out!! When everyone sang, she stood out! After she received her graduation certificate, I gave her a dozen mixed roses. She took her card out (after reading it) and she gave the flowers to her teacher. I was proud of her.
We grilled out to celebrate. Steaks, hamburgers,.... the works!
One down,....
One to go!!!!
Jaden will graduate on Friday!!!!

Sad, yet happy!
My baby will Graduate from Pre-k tomorrow at 12:30! She is singing a solo in front of everyone. I can't believe that both J & A will be out of school this week.

EXHAUSTION
We had a little BBQ yesterday at the crib. It was the 4 of us, Greg's momma, Autumn and Ronnie. We had the grill cookn and loads of food. Drinks? Oh yeah! I am not much of a drinker but we had mango margaritas, some rum, vodka and a little hypnotic. The kids wanted to drink so we crushed popsicles and put it in the glasses for them. We didn't drink much but we were sure feeling what we had! Of course there is a whole fridge fool of leftovers.

Today I am just exhausted. The house beside us had a cook out as well and we were all getting down. Of course once we all decided to hit the bed the other house was still parting. I could NOT sleep! After about 2am it may be time to cut the music down.

::note to self:: don't allow anyone, on the big trampoline, when alchol is in system! ::

I get to go home at the end of the month. I can't wait! Of course the cost of gas getting there and back is going to kill me. I miss my sisters and my Dad.
Alyssa gets to graduate pre-k on the 4th. My baby is getting big. They are not really having anything for Jaden who will be graduating Kindergarten. My big boy will be in 1st grade.
I have an interview tomorrow. It isn't really what I want but i'll take it for now.

Current Mood: sleepy

My daughter asked me,....."Mommy, What is sex?"
The kid is only 4. She heard it on the tv. I sorta blew it off and changed the subject. I know you are suppose to be honest with the kids but at what age?

My daughter told me yesterday that she wanted to quit school (pre-k) and save the Earth! She will pick up trash for a career for the rest of her life. What can I say? The girl has goals.

I'm taking Jaden to the Washington Redskins camp on Saturday. It is draft day and he will be able to meet the new coach, some players, and most of all the cheerleaders. He is only 5 and loves girls. That could be a big problem later.

So I own my own home now. Paid for! Free and clear! Not bad! It just needs some work. I have to get crackin this weekend as well. Wish us luck. My kids wrote on some walls so paint is a must!

Ok, so I did it! Alyssa will start cheerleading and Jaden will be playing football. He got weighed in today at a whopping 48ibs, lol! He also got fitted for his helmet.
I had lunch today with my two best friends. Thats always fun! Today, it was different. You could tell that they were not getting along and no matter how much I tried to break the ice,..... it just wasnt happening.
I just got Alyssa put to bed. Poor baby had a fever of 102. I had pneumonia last week and I pray that she isnt getting it as well.. I still feel like crap!

Current Mood: worried

I will be going tomorrow to sign AJ up for cheerleading and Jaden for football. It's a little expensive for us right now but it will be worth it.
I went out today and played on the trampoline with them and now I am feeling it! I need to get in shape and fast. Pray for me!

Here are just a few of the Easter pics I took on Sunday.

Spring cleaning,....
has me beat! I have done nothing this weak but clean. The kids are on spring break and they are messing up what I am cleaning up.
I think I will take a break today and go get my nails done. I deserve it! After all,....Look what Greg bought me! I still can not believe that this July we will be married for 12 years! I can honestly say that I love him with all my heart! He is a great man. I am so blessed that he came into my life. Then again,....I'm a cool chick! LMAO!!!!!

We had a long day!

First I woke up and took the kids to this place called the jump yard. It was a wasted $20. They were more into wanting to see what mommy and daddy were doing instead of playing.
After that we all went and grabbed a bite to eat! Here we go with another wasted $35. They barely ate and after a few hours of being home Jaden says he is starving!! WTF!

Greg and I spent a long time cleaning up the back yard. There was a lot of junk back there. A bunch of old kid toys, sandboxes, and cars. Much better now after a few trips to the dump!

I was looking on the computer for possible new jobs that I could take advantaged of! I thought I found it! I filled out all of the info and a few days later,......I GOT A CALL!! LOOKS like my dumb ass was signing up to join the Navy!!
What did I learn? Read the small print before sending all your business out!

I'm ready!!
Other than the traveling, I am so ready for CHRISTmas!! I leave tomorrow to VA to see the parents. I plan on being there until Sunday evening and then come home.

I can not wait! My kids will be so happy with all the cool stuff. I even got my family neat stuff as well.

I can't wait to get the kids in the kitchen and make cookies. I can't wait to watch them tear into the gifts! I can't wait to cook the CHRISTmas dinner. I can't wait because this is the first one where we will be in OUR own HOME!!!

Do you get it yet?

I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL 12-25 GETS HERE!!!

"Why is Santa Claus always so happy?"
~ Because he knows where all the naughty girls live!

Shopping for me!
I received a very nice sized gift card, so I bought an awesome 600 thread count Damask Dot White Goose Down Comforter, and matching 600 thread count cotton Sateen Sheet Set today. I can't wait to wash the sheets and put them on my bed. I am really funny about the whole thread count thing. Currently I have 400 on my bed. I guess I'll upgrade little by little. I even saw 1,000 TC in Target.

My daughter cut her hair. She got a hold of school scissors and the rest is ( history...... )

I have not posted in some time. I am going to try and get back into this.

I awoke this morning to a cold room. I wasnt thinking much of it, until I looked outside and seen it. SNOW! I am not crazy about the cold but I love snow.

I am just about done with my Christmas shopping. I think this will be the best year ever. Expensive of course, but my kids will be thrilled!

Current Mood: melancholy

It is so hot here today! Im sweating like a whore in a crack house!

I got a new job I am pretty excited about! Its a Monday thru Friday job. Its from 7-4 with weekends off! I havent had a job like that in a while! Retail sux! I said I wasnt going to work retail anymore and this is perfect! I'll be a claims processor at Harry Lundberg Seafarers. It looks like a pretty nice place! Lunch is free, there is a pool, and so many other GREAT things!

All day long!
MY FREAKN HEAD! She wont stop the crying! Is this what PMS is going to be with her? She is 3 and acts 15! Come on!
She isnt sick, she isnt hungry, she is just SPOILED!

MySpace
Who has a MYSPACE account? I'm on there more than here anymore.
I may go see Vanilla Ice tomorrow, lol. He is playing at a club down here.

I woke up yesterday to this!

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

It's April in Maryland! Most of it was melted before I took this. I even saw a house with three snowmen.

Home Owner!
We now OFFICIALLY own our home!!! It is bought and paid for! Greg and I are on top of the world! Sad thing is,....we are about to take out a loan to add a two car garage and possible a pool.

Alyssa has got a horrible cold. She is over on my bed taking a nap and she is snoring like a bear. A big bear!
Jaden keeps writing on the walls. What the hell is up with that sh**! We have yelled at him a billion times and nothing is working. I even had the calm eye-2-eye talk. NOPE! I saw M*O*M wrote on the wall and a stick figure of me.

I had to take Greg's mother to the DMV to get a new idea! Poor little Alyssa started throwing up and tears were streaming down her lil face. Poor baby. People were trying to look at the sick child (how sad is that) but me being a loving momma covered her so nobody could see. She is asleep now. No temp but exhausted!

So much has changed since my last updates.
As you can tell, a lot of my hair has been cut off. It use to be down to my waist and now it's just a little below the neck. When I first got it done I cried like a baby! Now that I'm use to it (and playing with it) I am loving it! I truly needed a change. I had that hair for years. I just wish if I knew they were going to cut so much I would have donated it!

I also went and got another tattoo. I'll have to post a pic of that later. I love it! No more though!

I'll update other things as I can recall them.

I am getting tired of picking up Jaden every single day from school. At first I didn't think it was a big deal but it really cuts into my day. Next year Alyssa will be in Pre-K and Jaden will be in Kindergarten. Weird how I cried that first day. Now I live for the day that I can actually get things done.

I am so darn sleepy! I dont know what was wrong with my son but he kept climbing in the bed all night long. Greg and I have always had a queen size bed. I think its time to upgrade to that king.
Jaden signed all is valentines day cards and is ready to give them to his girlfriends at school. He loves school. Of course he is only 4 and has got three little girlfriends already! PIMP!

Its been ages since I updated! I always read but never motivated to write! Im so gonna try harder.
Jaden is sick today. I feel like the poor child is always sick. He is learning so much in Pre-K! It amazes me!
Alyssa said she was running away this morning. Where does she get these things?
We got our new furniture! So happy to get rid of the other crap.

I decided that I am going to stay home all day (no shopping) and lay around in pj's and just watch movies until I fall asleep. So far I seen Crank, My Four Brothers, 3 hour King Kong, and Employee of the month. Popcorn is popped and drinks poured. Anyone wanna get in their pj’s and come over? Scary movies will be coming when it gets darker.

No More Drinks PLEASE!
I went to the doctor yesterday about my knee. I took a bad fall and now I'm having problems with it. Well thats just one thing! I gained 9 pounds since October. A friend of mine laughed and said don't worry about it because thats only 3lbs a month. That's 3 pounds to many. I gotta do something.

I have a problem with these Pina Coladas at this one restaurant. I found out they are loaded with calories and my dumb ass likes to go there for dinner. I end up sleeping on all of those calories. NO MORE!

I messed my knee up the other day when I fell. I can put my palm on it, and when it bends, you can feel something grinding. I know I am going to need surgery. It hurts like hell. I will get the doctor to check it out after Christmas. I guess!

Alyssa acted like a big ass baby in ballet today!
Jaden made a gingerbread house in school and kissed Tatiana on the cheek.

Ive been trying to update daily so here goes!
Today has been pretty good. I put Alyssa back in ballet. She missed about 4 classes and I wasnt sure if they would allow her to come back. Thankfully Ms. Bailey accepted and she will start tomorrow.

I made a yearly (more like 3 years) female checkup. I saw my doctor who delivered Jaden and she kinda got on me.

They had school spirit day at Jadens school tonight. A bunch of kids at a McDonald's. Let's just say,....It was LOUD!

I have a lot of friends who are getting separated or divorced. Is everyone having problems. It's so crazy. I'm talking couples who have been together forever.

shnookie24, I did it!!!!!
I went out and bought Alyssa the Baby Alive doll. It is so cute! I love the face she makes when she let's a stink, lol.
I only played with her in the box so I cant wait to give it to AJ on Christmas morning. It is taking everything in me to not give it to her early. But I'm waiting. I'm sure she will love it after seeing it.

I am trying to update every single day now. Even if I feel I have nothing to say! Bare with me friends.
( More silliness,..... )

I havent been feeling my best! My energy level is so low but my spirits remain high.
Greg won $100 at work on some pool. Money is always nice!
Jaden is still in love with Kia! She got hurt today and he wanted to go to the doctor with her. Young Love?
Alyssa is still a cry baby! I love my daughter but thats enough already!

( The Real Grinch is,..... )

Its been a long day! I am so exhausted!
There is only 10 9 days left till CHRISTmas! I can not wait to get it over. Lord forgive me for feeling that way! I went out and bought some more gifts today and I'm just about done!

Rough day
I made a promise to myself to update a little more so here goes,....

Jaden was about to catch the school bus, when he started to choke on an orange. It was so scary! Greg was trying to get it up and I was pounding on his back. Thank God it came up! I guess he was trying to hurry and stick the whole thing in and catch the bus. After it was all over, he looked up at me, with tears down his cheek, and asked if he could go to school. He loves school and he loves his friends.

I finally did it! I bought myself a pink Ipod!!! I tossed the idea back and forth and just did it! I hate spending money, like this, on myself! I was going to get one once tax time came. What the hell, the kids have everything they need.

Jaden came up to me before bedtime and told me that his pre-k girlfriend Kia broke his heart. I asked how. He told me that he was playing outside and noticed that some little boy named Joseph was sitting beside her. He was really crushed! At four he has had his first heartbreak. All because of Kia Blakstone!
