I’ve been typing all night

Categories: figuring it out, random musings

It’s already 3:48 AM and I’m still up. Thankfully I have the day off tomorrow. But this evening was productive. I’m so rested from the weekend that I have no desire to go to bed. But I’ll do it because I know it’s what I need. This weekend was quiet. Not quite as I imagined … Read More

Retrospect for Life

Categories: change, figuring it out, mommy in training, random musings

I’m sitting here listening to Common and Lauryn Hill’s duet “Retrospect for Life”. So many feelings rush forward for me when I think about what they’re saying. On one hand, I’m so glad that my parents decided to have me. As much as I bitch about life and complain and worry and am afraid… I’m … Read More

Boys will be Boys

Boys will be Boys So I did a live moderated chat with B2K today. Honestly before the chat was confirmed on friday night, I had no clue who they were really. I did a little research… and these kids were born in 85…. gosh. I was in the 5th grade. That’s a long time after … Read More

Genius

Categories: random musings, really? nothing

This morning’s sunrise was the kind that makes you want to stare into the sun. It could have easily passed for a sunset but the hope and integrity it emanated was on the rise and not on an ebb. It’s amazing the colors that the sky can make. There was a young sistah on the … Read More

Acceptance

I don’t know if I’m expecting too much. But it seems as of late… it’s alright for me to have second best. I don’t know why that is. I’m not flashy or glitzy. But I do envy when my friends get beautiful watches, or coats, or boots or jewelry. I get none of that. I … Read More

Trying to Escape

I’m wearing my glasses tonight Which I never do… cause I HATE how I look with them. But my headaches have to be coming from somewhere. So I’m trying out different things to make them go away. They said it was gonna rain tonight, but I haven’t seen a drop yet. Last night my baby … Read More

Empty City

Categories: mommy stories, random musings, really? nothing, work crap

Empty City I’m at work today and I have to say, althought I HATE being at work on a national holiday, I do certainly appreciate NY more like this than any other way. The train ride was stress-free, I found a seat… made all the connections with no worries; there werent a million people on … Read More

Watch the Gray

Categories: figuring it out, random musings, really? nothing

A good day to sleep in and watch the gray come in through the windows. Or maybe clean my room (which is in a state of total disrepair). But my energy is way low today. I have to work some premiere event tonight, so I can’t even go straight home. I just want to strip … Read More

A Long Day but a Relaxing One.

Categories: figuring it out, good times, random musings
