Well, here I am...yes, yes, yes...take your seats ladies and gents....Oh! the applause is too much..really!
*wishful thinking...lol...humor me. :)*
Anyway as I said there is a lot going on...and I am in need of a good blogging session. So here goes...
CSI Next Door?!?
*inquiring (preferred over nosy...plus this is serious) neighbor listens through the door...
officer:so did you know his friends very well?
lady: well * was distanced from me, I'm his mom and he kinda kept things from me.
officer:did he work?
victim's mother: no, he recieved disability and ss
officer: of about how much?
victim's mother: I think about $400 each
officer: do you know how much he was paying for this apartment
victim's mother: no
officer: was he into anything illegal?
victim's mother: honestly, * knew that I did not approve of his lifestyle. So he respected my home and kept what he did in the streests in the streets.
victim's mother: we want to see him!
officer: there is no way they are gonna let you see him
victim's mother: he's still here?
officer: they are investigating the crime scene...
No this is not a playback from CSI Miami, rather an excerpt from my so called life. Last thurday morning my 26yr old next door neighbor was found shot dead with multiple gunshot wounds to his body in his apartment. He had been missing for just about 2 days. @ 2am the cops came knocking at our front door...we answered a few questions and they left. But I couldn't sleep, so I watched and listened...it looked like CSI...as I watched through the peep hole...camera's flashing, cops in and out, white gloves, a body bag. It's crazy, and I'm officially traumatized. His murder wasn't a random act...but it happening so close has got me shaken. So please pray for us, and that I get another gig and a place to live.
Ahh...just us girlzAfter all that, I went home to jerzey. My girl turned 30 on friday. So I got up @ 6am got my kids together and drove to jersey to get there in time to drop the kids off with their gramma, and get my girls to head over to the spa by 11am. we all had 50 minute sweedish massages that woulda made me slap somebody...if I wasn't so dag on relaxed and sedated..lol
We went to eat, went shopping, and to Atlantic City later that night.
We checked out Jay-Z's 40/40 club, which was pretty...but definitely NOT what we were looking for or expected. The local crowd was kinda strange..since there is no cover charge..there were some weirdos n there. (Dan...dood skooting around the club had me falling out in laughter!) Still it was nice being with each other, minus having to scream to hear each other talk and spending $100 on 3 appetizers and 4 drinks...but I digress.
You live and you learn..and I don't think we'll go there again, but our curiosity is quenched. I spent the entire weekend with Trina..from the spa Friday morning...to working saturday night...and being KNOCKED OUT sunday..lol
I am so blessed to have her as a friend...her and Dan...and Carla made my weekend off the hook.(thanx ya'll) I know she had a wonderful 30th B-day weekend. (what u think u grown??)
*oh ya'll we got a date to see the Color Purple next month...mark ur calenders!
Still I've mentioned J a few times on my blog...
For those who don't remember...refer back to my post a LOVE just for me (August). I still love him so much. Not that true love wears out, but it is something to me. We don't see each other or talk much at all. There is no angst between us. He is deep in my heart.
It's just like...that thing you don't talk about, that just is. I'm not acting on it, not telling him too much, it's just there. When I wake up, when I'm not thinking of it, when I'm talking to other men...
I've accepted that he and I most likely won't ever be together again, but still...
I have a sweet tooth, but who needs candy?
I love my babies so much!They are just like little cupcakes!
I could just eat them up...it's something. I remember
after my twins were born...I had a natural motherly affection for them, but nothing more. I was depressed a lot, and went through so much. Including, being left, and homeless for a few months. I had no joy. I began praying for a deeper love and compassion for my children. I can happily and truly say that today I adore my
children. I could put some whipped cream and spinkles on them and eat them up!! 
I love looking at them, laughing with them, teaching them, watching them learn, taking them out, playing games with them, holding them, kissing them, watching them grow...
I used to hate to hear what people would say about my age...and my number of children. But you know what? Who cares! My children are little "baked" blessings sent from above...lol
Thank you Lord for seeing fit to send them through me. For confiding trust in me, that I could properly mother them...even knowing that I'd be alone. Lord if you never give me anything else...another child, a husband, a bigger house, a better job...you've given me more then enough in Elijah, Micah, Amayah, and Jonah!
