You Don’t Know Me…

People are so ridiculous with their opinions I want to scream. Then I realized it doesn’t matter how loud you are, because they feel their opinion is right and your thoughts don’t matter, even when it’s you they are talking about.

I know I have to go to the doctor, but my landlord doesn’t care about how much I am in pain. They care about being paid and I care about a roof over my head.

A crazy thought popped in my head. I wanted to ask him (my bus driver, the person who believes I should put my health over any bill) if he was going to pay my bills? I kept that to myself, but I bet he would have shut up.

People shouldn’t act like they know you, when they barely know your name, and are clueless of your dreams. I’ve been meaning to redo my to do list.

Tired eyes want to close, but since I have to clock in soon I better get up. Even though a cat nap really sounds good. .

A different day, but the same thoughts. A nap sounds good right now.I haven’t had a toddler in my house in almost thirty years. Taking care of my niece and nephew ages 4 and 2. Watching them run and play in the park, a late bath, and dinner. I just knew they were going to be asleep by 8 o’clock and not two hours later.

The good thing about babysitting, your little ones you were playing with will go home, and you can sleep again. I love them and I enjoy playing with them, but I will also be glad when I can just see them online. I am tired, but I have to get back to the job hunt.

A notebook is more than pages stacked together in a pretty shell for taking notes, jotting down a quick thought, an idea for a story, or even a poem or two. “A Time to Write is a composition notebook where words may have a way to make you feel calm, create something new, or encourage you to set all your dreams free. Writing them down can be fun in this book, which has lines like any other book and a cute page to take notes.

Mother’s Day My Way..

Leave a comment

Today is Mother’s Day and I decided I wanted to spend the day doing nothing. Well, doing things I like doing, and I am not going to let anyone’s opinions take my Smile away.

I have no idea where the taste for a bagel with cream came from and I miss my home. Times like this I wish I was in NewYork again, because I would have had that bagel with cream cheese. I may not have gotten what I was craving.  My eggs (two eggs, red onions, spinach, turkey sausage, and topped with cheese) were still good. Oops I just realized I forgot to take that picture with the cheese..

I have been praising since my eyes opened and most likely not going to stop doing that. I wanted to go to church, but I was asked if I wanted to work  an extra day and I cannot turn down money. I know who I am and my faith is just as strong as the day I was reborn, if not stronger.

I listen to people say you have to go to church and praise  together with everyone for Him to agree with you. Now I believe when more than two come together and worship God, encouraging one another is good, but it doesn’t matter if I am alone in a crowd or alone in my own home. God’s will is always with me.

https://bible.com/bible/111/1th.5.9-11.NIV 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 NIV

[9] For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. [10] He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. [11] Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

There will always be someone telling you who you are and who you should be and their beliefs should be yours, because they are older than you or they have a degree that says they remember what was in a book.

You have to believe in yourself and know who you are and not what others want you to be. Some will encourage you to be better, then there are those who want you to stay less, so they can shine. They could be family or a friend. I know sometimes you have to look a little closer to everyone and then you will see who is real through and through.

https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.8.37.NKJV Romans 8:37 NKJV [37] Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 

Well, I am going to enjoy my quiet time until my son comes back with dinner. He wanted to take me and his grandmother out, but restaurants are going to be crowded and I just want to continue having a relaxing day. There isn’t anything like eating in the comforts of your home, especially if you don’t have to cook or wash dishes. This way we can play a game or two before calling it a night. I am blessed this is another great day.

They say a mother’s love goes beyond their baby’s first breath of air. The second they know there is life within, they are praying for good health, long life, and an easy birth. Mothers are known to give encouraging words, a warm hug or two, and always seem to know how to bring a smile – when all you want to do is cry. This book is for a mother who want to write down a special prayers for the ones she love.

As a parent we pray for our child(ren) from the time we learn of their existence. We pray for their happiness and good health throughout each stage of their life. I added a few pages where you can write down your prayers. I also added some blank pages where a story can be told to or about your little one. Ex: Their favorite food, first step, how old they were when their teeth fell out, and the list goes on. This book is 6 x 9 and a total of 100 pages.

No Sleep IV Me…

I awoke before the sun and thought “not again,” because I didn’t have to go to work. I tried laying back down, but then my tummy started yelling. I went to sleep full, I am not fully awake, so why am I waking up hungry? 

(Ugh) I had to get up, because I kept on thinking about food. If I turn the lights on, I will fully wake up, and I thought I would eat a banna. That thought made me make a sour face, because I really don’t like bananas. 

Then I remembered the snack bag my nephew left behind and grabbed a fruit cup. I don’t like pears either, but I ate it anyway. I was going back to sleep. I should have turned on a thunderstorm, no I just listened to one story after another on youtube, and just when I was closer to sleep. I heard a voice I recognized and my eyes opened.

I just wanted to go back to sleep. My body was tired, tired of getting up at 3 am, standing on my feet for hours, and all I wanted to do was get up when the sun was actually out. Sleep just wouldn’t return, because my mind is starting to wonder.  I guess it’s time to relax with a cup of coffee.

Having a lazy day is cool once in a while, and maybe a second cup of coffee will end my day off, right? Then again, I’d better get a cup of tea…

What Plans?

I had started crossing off a list of things I had wanted to do after I got home from work. I knew what I needed to do and the reasons behind each move, and all was good until –

  1. My eyes don’t want to stay focused.

I am amazed that I am moving, because I haven’t eaten anything (other than a banana and a few animal crackers) in over ten hours. I know I should eat, but I want to go to sleep.

I also want to work on my book. I know I am going to put that on hold, because I need to be at my best, for my best work, and tired eyes just won’t do.

I wonder how many plans have gone astray because your body doesn’t want to do what you want it to. It’s cool, I say, “listen to your body and complete your plan another day.”
