Happy Mothers Day

 

..to all the blessed women who have ventured into the world of motherhood here's to you !!  Take the time to unwind relax and enjoy your day.  This should help in the process  Let the children cry for a while, let the older ones help with the little ones or just give them all to the hubby/novio and send them out of the house, or you leave the house.  If it's just you and yours, don't sweat, you can still enjoy a moment of piece and quiet.  It's called a nice long cartoon with lots of music and activity and a bow of cereal.  Let them have they way in front of the TV and you in the bedroom or bath.  Easy so..Nuh need tuh stress..just chill and relax.

Now, my last post was about child rearing and all the things that accompany it.  Well today I'm not venting, just sharing some stuff.  The Tall One is enjoying his last moments of H.S.  His big day comes within the first two weeks of next month.  All the hype and activities of senior year are upon us.  Not to mention the cost.  Boy times sure have changed since I was there some many eons ago.  There is the junior prom & suit.  This is where the seniors go to the junior prom with some 9th or 10th grader who wants to go just for going sake.  Then there is the senior prom.  This whey de yutes and gals pompeset with dem lucky sweetheart fuh de night. Big bucks.  It's another suit, payment and get this limo...
