 Good morning, you guys. It is Saturday morning. I'm up. The dinner's on because I'm cooking. It's almost 7.30. I'm cooking my husband's dinner, gives me lunch for work, and batches so I can be done. Yeah, y'all. I know some of you guys are thinking that she do this every day. I just about. But I'm home and I enjoy cooking. So I make my husband's lunch about every day, maybe once every two weeks. I don't. To me it's not that bad. Some days of my girl, I don't have time to be making your lunch. So I just do a quick salad. It takes no more than 15 minutes. If I don't have time to cook, I'll do a salad. But today I'm gonna show you what I'm doing. I have a package of chicken tenders. And this is basically three days of food. So I have that going away. And then I purchased one of the Kroger's stir-fried meals that comes with a package of sauce. So here are the veggies all done. Now I do things a little bit different. Even though that was a package of stir-fried. Let me show you an example. Because I bought two of them. And they were on sale, $2.49. So I got two of these for five bucks, basically. This one right here is curry, coconut curry. And again, they come with two packages of sauce. I only use one in the pack. JV! Get this child straight together. I only use one and a half packages. I didn't use all two. And so I stir-fried the veggies. I added my own seasonings. Onion powder, garlic powder, a little bit of salt. Because these packages typically have a lot of sodium. This is three meals for us, okay? Three days of food. And if you don't eat me, hold on. Let me show you what I do with the chicken. So I had a package of chicken tenders that I cut up. And I put the sauce that came with the package with this. I'm adding a little bit more sauce. Some hot sauce I had in there. Some surrogachi sauce. Onion powder. Garlic powder. No more sodium. Okay. I put a little bit of human land pink salt. Let me turn this off. On the actual chicken. And that's it. I'm going to spoon this on top of the veggies. If you don't eat veggies, excuse me, if you don't eat chicken meat, at least, you can just do rice or noodles. And I think that's very affordable. Look, it doesn't cost a lot of money to eat. Eat pretty good. Go straight. You're going to have to need a punch. Mmm. But we don't need to push anything now. Fall reefs does 50% off. Skeleton in a bathtub. Spiders. These are pretty, but not enough for $60. Oh, because I've gotten some stuff at Michael's before, especially the pictures in our back guest room are from Michael's. I mean, I know that's how I feel. Mommy likes a Christmas village. Mommy will have to get some more stuff for the village though. As long as you don't touch it, right? Rat coons in the Oh, that child is having some issues. It's not a map. Okay, it's a map. Oh, okay. Can you trace cut it up around the line? Is that easy to do? Oh, yeah. Yeah, whatever color you want. Green, blue. I love this stuff because you can make your own sticker. I want some of that glue. I had no idea they were such a big deal. Me too. Well, that's the first time I've ever seen one. Same. And I had people messaging me on Facebook, like friends, like, hey, do you guys still have this part? Me and my wife still need that. Really? Oh, my gosh. I actually want to glue the lines. No, it's good, baby. Hold it up for Mama. Oh, good. Awesome. Right here. Good morning. Good morning. It is Sunday. I'm not in a good mood. So excuse my energy if it seems off. My hair is cute, though, isn't it? Yes. Wash and go. Excuse me. JP has not been sleeping well ever since we got back from Texas, meaning he will wake up one o'clock, three o'clock, and then he'll eventually go back to sleep. Not this morning. He woke up at three o'clock crying. Was able to get him back to sleep for an hour. He was up for the day by 4 30. He has literally been crying off and on since 3 o'clock this morning. It is now 7 30. My husband, I know he's cranky because he goes to bed at midnight. Long story short, morning is done. We're gonna go to church. I'm tired. There's just no way I can do the 9 o'clock or 11 o'clock. But I don't like to be at home not doing anything. She's high. I'm so we're gonna go to Walmart, pick up a few things. I'm not in a mood for this child. This is one of those days where I need a little break. I if I had no no no if I had some Xanax I would have taken it by now but I don't. You know I don't have any anxiety. So it is what it is y'all. Go wipe your mouth off, JB. You have spit on the side. How are you guys? So I'm making stew and with stew, if it gives you stew and soup, you don't add a lot of liquids. I'm gonna add some red wine, some tomato paste. Excuse you now who? Water and some chicken stock. Like literally it's probably about that much water. And one tablespoon of this chicken stock if you know y'all I'm gonna finish up this beef stew. We're gonna have garlic bread on the side and I got peach cobbler. So I know I don't cook. Show y'all cooking as much as I used to is mostly my blogs. I'm gonna give y'all two cooking people you need to follow. I think most of you guys know about Divas can cook. You know I heart recipes. You know cooking with Carolyn. You need to follow these two sisters additional. Marty Cornish as M-A-R-T-Y Cornish. Cornish. C-O-R-N-I-H-I-S-H. I put the link down below to her channel. When I tell you homegirl can cook and she hasn't posted a video in three years and she can sing. I could tell that this is someone who is used to cooking for large groups of people because she has huge almost like almost like Chris Cook for you. She has huge bowls. I'm like what the hell you getting this up on girl. She has a recipe for hot water cornbread dressing. Oh yes somebody's from the from here girl. Somebody's from the country. Somebody got relatives from the country. Hot water cornbread. She has all types of recipes. Check her out. Another one is cooking with tip. Cooking with tip is country as hell. She's from Jacksonville, Florida. She cooks with bonnet on. You already know. Look this is how you can tell good cooks. There's several cues when you know someone can burn. Several cues. They got big titties. They got hanging bristles. That's one of them. They got big arms. The up arms especially are big. That's another one. They cook with a bonnet on. Hello, hello, hello, hello. Hello everyone. I'm gonna talk about this in my chit chat video. We'll probably record a chit chat video tomorrow because I'm gonna have to go ahead and detangle his hair girl. Look good. Giving you something you can fit. I do detangle my hair because this right here is looking, but I don't know y'all. Maybe if I could, I don't think this is gonna last til Thursday. It's Tuesday now. You know she ain't gonna last til Thursday so I'm gonna go ahead and I'll just do it today. Do a detangle today. My chit chat video. I will be discussing my love for BBC TV. I would say that I probably watch more British TV than anything. Like y'all know my favorite sitcom is Keeping Up with Appearances. I was a huge fan. It's still am a huge fan of Mr. Bean. I used to watch it all the time while I was in high school actually because that's how long it's been around. Yeah so that will be coming up in my chit chat video. My love for British TV. But I do have a quick question why I'm on British people real quick. I have a quick question. We're gonna go into my little testimony. Do you guys have those of you who live in other countries and I know I have quite a few people who watch me in other countries. What size refrigerators do y'all have? I'm curious. I'm curious. This is why. Hear me out. Hear me out. Okay like I said I watch a lot of British TV and I noticed especially in Keeping Up with Appearances. Hi since when she's going in and she's doing a little thing girl. She has a little small refrigerator and that's what we would typically use for college. Dorms for like a game room that we have in our house. Americans, Westerners in general. We have large refrigerators. Not only that but those of us who are from the Midwest states like Utah, South Dakota. Is that what it was? South Dakota, North Dakota, the South Texas where I'm from Louisiana, Georgia, Kentucky, Arkansas. Not only do we have refrigerators but we also have deep freezers and deep freezers are primarily used for freezing meat and ice cream. But no because there's so many people sorry y'all lifting myself up. A lot of us in the South or you know the Midwest there's a lot of hunting going on. There's a lot of fishing and so especially with my family they do a lot of fishing and so they have deep freezer. I don't know anyone in the South who does not have a deep freezer. So it was so funny when we were back home my best friend was going out she was telling JV she's like I have to go out and I'll get you some ice cream and JV's face was like why is she going in the garage? I said because her deep freezer is out there baby. Yeah it's not uncommon for Southern states and the UK if you're in Canada y'all do y'all have regular size refrigerators or do you have the little small ones? Yeah there are people out here who have multiple refrigerators but definitely in the South you typically have a refrigerator and a deep freezer. Now deep freezer if you've never seen one it's I mean there's different sizes that's the long ones you can get really long ones that are you could literally put a body in I shouldn't say that but there happen people kill people and they place bodies in the deep freezer. But typically it's I like the size of a little of a counter and it goes up to your waist and yeah it's a deep freezer. But let me know right now it is pouring rain pouring down raining in Phoenix. I mean it hasn't been raining nonstop since 6 a.m. is 10. That's not typical for us here unless we're in the monsoon season. So while I was dropping JV off I saw a look like it was a mom with a stroller had two littles in the stroller cover up and she's had another little girl she was walking and I was like oh my god they're gonna get drenched. By the time she gets up there she's gonna get drenched and there are some apartments around the way so I'm like did she walk in the apartment in the rain? Girl! So I already had in my mind to give her an extra umbrella. I purposely bought an extra one. Just something told me just go ahead and bring the extra one. So I purposely brought two umbrellas one for me one for JV and then I had an extra one in the car my big one. So I caught up with her as we got out and I say here you can have the umbrella and she hands it to the little girl that's walking next to her she looks like she's about six or seven years old. She's like thank you whatever. We get up there and as we're coming back around I said oh you can keep the umbrella cuz she was trying to give it to me. I said no you can keep it to get back you know to where you need to go and I said wait a minute are you walking home back home in this? She's like yeah my car broke down. I'm like y'all it is pouring on rain. Like if you don't have an umbrella for a few seconds you're gonna get soaked. So I said oh no I would drive you home. Do you live around the corner? I would drive you back. She's like yeah thank you thank you thank you. Get her in and drop her around. She's literally right next to the apartment where we used to live at two years ago. By the time I helped her with the you know with the other children and thank God I had extra booster seats in the car so that wasn't a concern but by the time I got back in the car I was soaking wet. My clothes with my feet were wet and I'm country where I'm from you don't walk around with your feet wet your head wet cold you got to change your clothes. So I said oh no I gotta go change my clothes I gotta get dry. I'm gonna catch the flu. So I only live five minutes away from Jamie's school get home change my pants change my shoes I'm dry. I'm like okay and I'm trying to hurry up because at this point I have an appointment to have my car serviced and those you know I purchased a new Corolla. It's been off now three years and you get free services for the first like two and a half years with this vehicle. Actually it's been on almost three years two and a half years or so I get free services right so I'm like cool. So anyway got to the car dealership I let her know by the way there's also a light on on what that light is and she said what do you what are you here for? I said well I guess I'm here for the $25,000 package service package. She's like okay I said but can we check to see you know it's my warranty and I'm like oh my god I think my warranty expired. Go back check her system and sure enough my warranty expired back in April and she's like you know what it's on the house we'll go ahead and take care of it. I'm like really she's like yes you said but you may want to consider extending your warranty it's in addition to $300. I said well how much would the service would have been? She said $275. I said you guys gonna take care of that? She said yes we I got you gonna take care of it we're gonna check your tires we're gonna refill I said thank you so much because I don't know if I would have been able to afford that right now especially getting back from Texas and having to make sure that I my coins are right okay. I would have gotten an oil change but not the entire service package. So yes won't he do it and here I am I wasn't sure if I definitely wasn't gonna be able to afford that and I would have to just suck it up and just get a regular oil change but here I'm trying to rush to get this appointment and it was already done already paid for already there because of I honestly do believe this whether or not you believe in karma whatever good karma or good energy I really do believe that what you put out there in the universe it comes around to you that's the fastest I've ever seen it happen for me personally but I do things let me put it like this I don't do things to expect anything in return I've never had that attitude I do things because it's the right thing to do. Hey you guys so look y'all how can I do this is this better yeah this I have to do excuse me I wheeze a little bit because I have asthma a little bit girlies a lot but anyway today is Thursday and this week has been one of those weeks that it's like crazy I think this is my first time vlogging since Tuesday I'm always the one to come on here to say that you know life has its ups and downs it's always not unicorns and fairy dust and so because you know we have stuff going in the house so I'm like I don't want to take this you know they don't want to but I'm like okay this is real life this is what I'm going through I say all that to say we were having some household issues nothing personal but the house itself to tell you real quick and I need to hear it because I have all into a training this morning okay so when we came back from Texas last week I was cleaning up and stuffing I'm a type of person as things come up I clean it up I don't have a set schedule so late last week I noticed a smell in JB's room and I'm like oh it's a little musty in here and let me start you know let me take everything out girl when I when I smell something I'm like let me just find it take everything out make sure I clean all his clothes again you know excuse me his linens and make sure everything's dusted and all that so I did that all last week well then three days ago let me turn on the car I'm getting hot three days ago I noticed a strong mildew smell and I'm like oh my god it smells like mildew my babies and is sniffing the mildew so let me figure out where it's coming from so I pulled the bed away from the wall and I can smell it in the carpet and I'm like what the hell so I'm like oh we got you rid of this right now so this was two days ago right two days ago I put some vinegar on it and some baked baking soda clean did later on it smelled great it smelled fabulous that night JB woke up around midnight and it was a strong mildew smell and I'm like okay this is not right I mean JB in my new he's been waking up like every other night since we got back from Texas and that I've been assuming that it's due to the schedule but I think it's honestly due to the scent in his room so I was okay baby you can come in here and sit with me he slept with us that night when was this this was the night before last two nights ago yeah two nights ago so then I I'm like I gotta get rid of this smell I gotta rid of this mildew because at this point I'm thinking there's mildew growing on his carpet and I felt the carpet and in certain areas it was damp and I'm like this is weird why is the carpet damp in certain areas so at this point I'm assuming that he must have spilled something so I'm like we got to do everything again so this is the second time okay my second time pulling everything out I'm like I gotta clean everything I got my vinegar together I got rubbing alcohol tea tree oil it's also really good for killing mold and mildew pull everything out that's when I know this is a bookcase and it has a water line about half a foot up I'm like okay this is not from some damn bubbles because I'm thinking y'all that he may be spilt over his bubbles but bubbles is not going to produce that amount of liquid okay water damage so I'm looking at it and I'm telling my husband this is the one thing that kind of irks me about my husband he takes what I say lightly because he'd be thinking I'm an exaggerating shit now I told his this a day before I'm like look this bookcase has like a half a foot watermark how is that possible and he's like I don't know you know he may have spilled something we got to be careful when he's drinking I said JB doesn't drink anything back back there so I'm like whatever I pulled it apart I have then I lift the carpet back and I've done this several times since I smelled it just to make sure there's nothing growing and I don't see anything right and so I asked my husband two times to go back there and check it I said I need for you to come back here and check and then finally he does he goes back there this was yesterday and he pulls it back y'all he pulls it all the way back and there's a puddle of water and I'm like what the hell I'm like how in the Frankenstein trying to curse how in the hell did a puddle and where I'm not exaggerating my husband is speeches cuz he's looking at this like he's like how let this happen so he says he's like you know I think what have happened is that he drunk something and the water bottle fell back and it just spilled in one under the carpet and I'm looking at him like I said I don't know cuz we don't notice any damage on the wall right there's no damage at all I said I don't know but we got to get rid of this so I would go buy an additional box friend and I literally dried it all yesterday and I'm looking at the spill and I go back to my husband I said we got to use common sense because I'm looking at the waterline on the carpet it covers the entire wall of the carpet so you trying to tell me that bubbles did that or bottle of water and he's like well there's no water damage to the wall or to the so it has to be something he spilled and I'm looking him like I'm okay you win this argument but in the back of my head I'm thinking now this ain't no damn bubbles so the next this morning let me back up last night yesterday I took almost I took 70% of the stuff in JB's room out pulled the carpet back and those fans has been in there all day all night right I said if the guest bedroom for JB and him and I slept in there oh girl sleep him but five-year-old JB night slept in they back back guest bedroom got up this morning and we're getting ready right getting ready 30 minutes before it's time for me to take his butt to school I hear loud water and I hear it's the sprinklers outside so I walk outside or behind the house and the sprinkler is shooting up excuse me is the water irrigation system for our little little area here even got hardly nothing growing up front and so I go in and tell my husband I'm like the sprinklers are shooting and he's like okay I'll turn it off in a minute in a minute it's flooding so I go into JB's gets JB's bedroom and there's a puddle of water again I would say within less than a minute it had there was a puddle I said we gotta shut that water off now I'll go outside can't find the key to the dang on water irrigation system I'm like okay you know yeah and my husband's not one of those he ain't got no tools I bought him a damn toolbox well anyway that's besides the point so he finally figures out how to shut down shut off the water right and I take some more towels in there and clean up the you know the mess and now I have the fans and they're going so oh my god dealing with that so JB's room has to be inspected we now well I went this morning to Loves to see if I can find a key and I couldn't find a key there so after I have volunteer training I need to go ahead and go y'all have volunteer training for his school and after that I need to go to Home Depot and see if we can find a key to open up the timer for the water irrigation because if not that's gonna keep going thankfully I think it only comes on like once every other day or so but we need to turn it off I told him I said if we can't figure if we can't find the key we need to break it open huh y'all so today has been girl that John deal did do the volunteer training which was like 15 minutes I know my hair looks in my house supposed to do my hair today not happening going to do my hair tomorrow and I will more than likely do another wash and go because I have somewhere to be Saturday and I don't do that cuz typically especially with kinky coily textured hair your hair at least for me and I know some me out to my hair is very tangled with a wash and go so to do another wash and go back to back I typically don't do that but I'll make sure to detangle my hair thoroughly in the morning and then do a video for y'all recorded that's got a fair warning I had to like I told you I have to take most of JB stuff out of here now where you can see the water stain do you see this going all the way you see it on the road now doesn't make sense my husband thought those were bubbles girl anyway so we know now that it's due to the irrigation system on the bag and you probably can't see that let me see that cuz I mean there's water damage and we were looking at water damage towards the bottom do you see that probably won't even zoom in you see that right there that's water damage also so JB you know the guest bedroom girl is done a mess we are gonna be sleeping back here for a while he can't sleep back here by himself y'all he's scared so I have to put a lot of his stuff over here in the corner and yes you again excuse it you know cuz I had to just throw a bunch of stuff back here typically doesn't look bad good morning good morning good morning everyone it is Saturday morning I know y'all it looks like I'm wearing the same thing all the time this is one of my mommy indoor uniforms it has been a trying weekend I have this claimer and I will put it at the beginning of this vlog this will be the course over the course of a week and a half the footage you're seeing almost two weeks I'll give y'all update on the water leak that's in JB's room but last night was the first night that I had him to sleep in the guest bedroom by himself and he did now he slept from 7.30 to 4 in the morning I was up at 3 though and I did get some sleep I got about 7 hours in chunks but I still got some sleep just one of those damn weeks so today let you guys know what we have going on today we're gonna be doing a I'm a little scattered brain if you can't tell we're gonna be doing a class at Michael's kind of like what you guys saw earlier in the vlog but I'm not gonna film this one because I have a girlfriend coming with her son Eli I think I mentioned maybe I didn't they're Dominican I know I didn't mention it they're Dominican I have several not a lot I have a couple of black Latino friends so they're coming and later on that's it that's all we have going on today now today I need to get some stuff organized in the household I felt like I couldn't get anything done with half the house being in disorganized and disarray when it just makes me not feel complete when stuff is going on in the household you know what I mean and I can't get I feel like I can't get things finished or complete so I'm not gonna allow that to mess me up because yesterday I started planning y'all I have seen videos of other YouTubers who do playing with me videos and I was like what a hell has time for that but yesterday I found some stickers at the Dallas tree they didn't have a lot but I found some stickers at the dollar tree it was a couple of doctors appointments I had to reschedule due to stuff around the house and so basically I have to do half the month over I spent an hour it was so relaxed and so I think that's gonna be another that's right at my alley because it's creative and it's productivity which is right at my alley so for the last two or three days I've been watching videos on Alexis she's in her trench coat I love her and I did end up her excuse me I didn't end up downloading some of her worksheet I'm in a bad guest room y'all why the first night when I was sleeping with JV back here my hair was in a high pub why and I had it covered with a bonnet why was my pub getting stuck in these damn the railing while asleep like the entire pub with the bonnet on I was fit to be tied girl so anyway update on the water situation got it under control we had someone to come over here where the water's been turned off so there's no leakage we had someone to come over yesterday and he was like there's really no water damage he's like you know I don't suspect any mold or mildew because typically mold or mildew growth comes from a continuous leak that hasn't been caught and if it's humid that's when you have growth such a good because this is my baby's room so since we caught it in enough time there's nothing there he doesn't suspect anything he's like I'm not gonna spend the time to knock down a wall when I don't think there's anything behind there you know so he's like I could do it if you want I said oh hell no that's gonna cost some coins so um he basically reiterated that once we get the irrigation system fixed that that will stop anything from happening like I said it's turned off the water's turned off and we were able to open up the box and turn off the timer so we have another person to come by today to give us a second opinion just to make sure okay can never be you know it's good to be safe all right y'all we just got some gas and got some coffee got JB a donut the guys are at the guys are at our house fixing the irrigation system they should be there all day and so yeah so we're gonna go ahead and go to Walmart and pick up some groceries my budget is I budgeted 60 dollars if I could do it under yeah 60 dollars plus I have to get well no that's mostly all food 60 that was a food for a week and a half including JB snacks and stuff girl JB you need to eat real food I'm sick of you eating muffins actually he's been eating pancakes he always eats pancakes though he's he ate some pasta the other day so we see y'all let's go ahead and go and hopefully this won't take too long it'll give me two hours to rest ship yeah should be back home by eight it's 645 now 55 dollars met my budget yeah we're here at raising can again large we eat here almost once every two weeks I guess you get equivalent to people kids eating McDonald's all the time he just eats the bread so we have fun at Michael's and after this we're gonna go to 40 cities just to look around so kill some kill some time and then we're gonna go to go home at the port city go home this early he's not even new yet so all right let's go ahead and eat baby
