Nail Polish

This is about 1/4th of my nail polish collection.

Apparently I have a problem.

 

Kale Chips

My absolute fave kinda chips!

Toss some kale with a tablespoon of olive oil and sea salt. Place on top of parchment paper on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes or until the edges are brown. 

Will totally satisfy the craving for something crunchy and salty. I promise!

"Bully" - The Weinstein Company

WARNING. If your child bullies one of my nephews or one of my Godsons I am checking for YOU.

Not your kid...YOU.

I understand teaching a child to fight their own battles and all that mind you...but sometimes a parent who has had their azzes WHUPPED one way or the other will have a way of getting their kid to understand that being a bully might not be the best they can be.

Check your kid if they are being a BULLY.  Don't get YOUR azz kicked cuz of some kiddie ish and don't let the suburban life fool you. 

I ain't scurred.

Do Better

Did any of you have to attempt to force your child's father to continue being present in their lives once your relationship was over?

If he wasn't present...do you think it was for the best?

What, if anything, could your children's father do better?

Absentee Fathers

Were any of you raised with an absentee father? From your perspective...what do you believe you missed out on learning because your father wasn't in your home and/or active in your life?

Can we discuss?

Yesterday sherri said something which really made me go hmmmmmmmm...

What is YOUR thought on how non-involved fathers continue to be able to date?  What kind of woman is okay with this?  I mean...ESPECIALLY if she's a mother herself and knows what all it takes to take care of a child? 

What's even MORE confusing to me is how these SAME MEN can parent the child of the woman they are with (who isn't their child) and still neglect their OWN children.

Where does that come from????? 

Would you CONTINUE to date him?

Taller than you.

Your age.

Handsome.

Gainfully employed.

Has a child with his ex and told you his child lives with her in another state.

Since you've met you've spent pretty much every spare minute of time with each other either at his place or your place.

It's been 3 months.

Yall are going good.

His child's birthday is coming up and he asks you to pick up a gift for an 8 year old little girl.

You do and then ask if he wants you to ship it for him.

He says naw...yall will see her at her party this weekend.

You're confused because you thought she lived out of state with her mother.

She does live out of state...but it's only a 40 minute drive.

Are you disturbed that dude hasn't seen his daughter during the entire 3 months yall have been dating?

Do you think he was vague on purpose about her living out of state?

Would you go to the birthday party?

Would you continue to date dude?

 

 

Either / Or

I consider myself an extremely compassionate person.

Robby calls me a sucker.

*sigh*

Do you think you're a compassionate person? 

Or are you a sucker?

Scenario...

You meet someone really cool and y'all start dating casually.

About two months into it...the person finds out they have cancer.

A bad kind.

The person tells you they understand if you want to bow out cuz y'all weren't much more than new friends getting to know each other and some serious hard times were coming their way while they fought for their life.

What say you? HONESTLY.

Surgery

I hope none of you take ANY surgery lightly. Chances are you could be dealing with complications from it for years to come.

Scenario...

Your S/O has full custody of their children.

Their ex-spouse is coming to town to visit for the weekend.

The ex is going to stay at your S/O's house in the guest bedroom.

You good?

Would you visit while the ex is in town?

Hair Cuttery

Have your kids ever cut their hair?

Was there any fallout regarding how they looked once they realized what they'd done?

Did you cut yourN as a kid?

What say YOU?
