Darth Vader? Where?

Good morning fine folks! Let's get this post started! This past Sunday was K's 6th birthday. Let's read that again...6TH BIRTHDAY! I can't believe how time flies. It feels like just yesterday she was taking her first steps. Now she's in school and is her own little person. Makes me want to cry. *sigh* Anyway! AS you can see, the party was star wars themed. She had NO idea I was throwing this party. The look on her face when she walked through the door was priceless. Unfortunately, no one got a good shot of that on their camera :( It was a very fun filled day with cake, ice cream, music, presents, games and even a pinata this time..which couldn't even handle 3 hits before it broke open lol. Such a great day!

missing teeth and lady shoes ;)

GUESS WHAT! K lost her first tooth last night! It came as a complete surprise. I knew it was a little loose, but I didn't think it would come out that fast! She was happy then scared when she saw the blood, but she got over it quickly once I told her she's turning into a big girl! We sat down and drew a picture for the tooth fairy, and put the tooth and the picture in an envelope under the pillow. The "tooth fairy" must have loved it because she left K a dollar ;) Look at her big goofy smile!

In other news, I'm still feeling under the weather, and this cough can go to hell!!! TO HELL! But, I did say i'd post the shoes I bought this past weekend. I can never pass up a good sale and Payless had their BOGO shindig going on and mommy likes BOGO :)

I am IN love with these gray suede shoes. They were only 24.99! The flats are called the "popstar" i'm not gonna lie, the saleslady talked me into them lol. They were half off so what the hay!

It's just another dayyyyyy

I recently came into a little bit of money, and it's been A WHILE since I've indulged in some shopping. My sister and I decided to sneak away for a few hours to the mall! I have a nasty cold right now, so i'm not going to get into to much details, but here are a few pictures of my recent purchases :),mb

The girls and I went to the library as well today. I always say the younger you get them into books, the better! But anywho, this is my outfit for the day..chu like? See all that dead grass ruining my damn picture!

I had such a hard time figuring out what earrings to get. I must have picked up thousands of different styles, but the wings stood out to me. I can't wait to get my jewelry box full of funky acccesories!

Wing earrings-Payless! Buy one get 50% off!

I'll post my shoes and new hat tomorrow, but for now I need to get some sleep to help nurse this cold!

Cool for school!

Howdy ya'll! GUESS WHAT! I FINALLY got my license. I know what you're thinking, "you're 23 and still cant drive?" yeaaahh, well things kind of happened and ya know, it got pushed to the bottom of my to do list. But, now i'm on a roll, driving everywhere, having a gay ol time! SO I advise you to stay off the roads..and sidewalk :)

This past Monday was my daughter Karessa's first day of Kindergarten! I can't even begin to tell you how nervous and excited I was. While walking her to her class she told me "you better not cry mommy" lol. I did anyways, as soon as she walked into the class. I sat in the car for about 5 minutes to take all my emotions in. She's growing up so fast! I contemplated going back to the school and sneaking around to see what she was doing, but apparently that's not allowed lol. When she came home, she was all smiles and giggles, going on and on about the friends she made. I'm soooo happy that she loves school! I hope it forever stays that way! Karessa is the biggest tomboy you'll ever meet. She's all about boy stuff and superheroes..wonder where she gets it from *looks at her action figure/comic book collection* oh yeah, ME! That's why I was surprised when she gave me no trouble putting on a pink shirt. As long as she had her spider man lunchbox, she didn't care what she was wearing. I'm home with Kaley now, and it's a lot easier during the day with just one kid, a lot quieter too! I'm so proud of my little girl! If she one day reads this..I LOVE YOU K!!!! MWAH MWAH MWAH! :)

Beach and cake!

Good morning!! It's such a beautiful Friday morning, and i'm feeling good so why not update? Last month was our beach vacation and Kaley's 3rd bday! Time sure knows how to fly by. Any who, we spent a weekend at Daytona Beach. A simple, quick get away, since we only live about 30 mins away. It was probably the best vacation I've had in a long time. We spent hours on the beach, hours playing in the boardwalk's arcades, and ate yummy food..you know i'm a sucker for food, especially those boardwalk fries! *daydreams and drools*....sorry





I honestly don't know where Karessa gets her silly side..ok, well maybe I do lol


Shortly after our beach trip was Lee's birthday. I have this obsession with making birthday cakes instead of going out to a bakery, and getting the typical HAPPY BIRTHDAY *insert favorite character* Lee is into ballerinas, but after looking almost everywhere for what I wanted, I gave up and decided to do her second favorite, Princesses! I'm proud of my little cake, and I know she loved it too. Did I mention how tasty it was? No? Well..mmmmmmm!





My princess. She wouldn't look at the camera, too distracted lol

New idea!

I keep forgetting that I have this here blog. The other day I decided to do something new with it. Along with sharing my story about moving on up, it'll also be a mommy blog. Being a single mom of 2 kids is hard, but of course, exhilarating and fun. I'll be updating with stories of my girls and our life, fashion( for the mommy on a budget), foods..blah blah, you get the point. Once I figure out how to change the design on this thing, we'll be in business! I hope you'll enjoy and this time I PROMISE I won't forget about running this thing :)

Until then..

I've neglected you again.

I finally did it. After months of giving in, I broke the cycle. No longer will I ever waste a single tear on any man. My kids and myself are what's important. No more feeling embarrassed or afraid. I know what I want. Tomorrow, i'm going to chop my hair off. New look, new me.

..Anyways,

Last Tuesday, my sister and I decided to go out with my friend Jason and his husband to a gay night club called Pulse. It wasn't one of their crowded nights, but I had fun. The drinks were just as I like em, STRONG! The music was..well..tolerable, and the people I met were gorgeous! My sister entered their talent contest, but lost to someone with the talent of lip synching. It was still a night to keep in the memory box though :)
