 good morning everyone. I am up early it's five o'clock in the morning. Can y'all hear me? Let me bring you in some baby. Let me bring you in some girl. I'm up early planning. It's Monday, 4th of July and I'm up early planning to do some stuff. I mean just planning. And what is it? Going to go to Longview this morning. My mama gave me a list of everything she's cooking and I was a little intoxicated last night when she was talking to me and I was like I'll be there at 11 o'clock in the morning. Yes ma'am. My uncle, her brother has a smokehouse. Those of you from the country, you know what a smokehouse is. It's literally a little house that you could put stuff just out in the open, hang it up and it'll smoke it. Be there all night, all overnight and it'll just smoke your meat for you. When I tell you that food is divine, this is why I've gained 3.5 pounds. Anyway y'all, things have been very challenging here. Our transition to Texas has not been as easy as we had hoped for. Only because the way that things are going right now as far as the inflation, everything from the gas prices to the food prices. When I tell you baby, the food prices are ridiculous. We noticed that certain things also here in Texas fly out. The cost of living is more expensive in Texas. We're a little surprised by that only because we're on the outskirts of Dallas. So we're thinking why is this so that's going on. We had to pull JB out of counseling because it's just right now we're getting close to school. I need those funds to start preparing for his uniforms and when we buy his clothes we have to get them embellished with the school logo. That's a good $300 y'all if you buy them all new shoes. So $95 a week for surgery, sorry for therapy isn't a priority. So what I've done, most organizations have an employee assistance program. So what I've done is reached out to my employee assistance program and my job and they're going to look for someone, thank God, if they're going to, I get six free sessions. So look, I was having such a, I'm going to try hard not to cry. It's just been a lot, you guys. I mean, and I'm going to get to what I had to finally do to settle down because it was escalating into a mood of I was really upset every day. Not upset. I was either depressed or just I almost over it. Every time I woke up I had an over it. I had an attitude and it was really starting to affect everyone around me. I'm just going to be honest. I'm going to count. I hope myself accountable for that. Anyway, so it was a long drama with the EAP because they gave me a list of people. Every time I call these people either they no longer are part of the EAP program or they don't even service children. It's a little disheartening to even look into mental health resources right now because a lot of them don't see children. Did y'all know that 18 and over like kids don't have problems and they do. Especially nowadays. So I broke down crying in the middle of the appointment with with trying to figure it out because my new I've been dealing with that entire process for about back and forth for about three weeks. And she was like, ma'am, are you okay? Do you can speak to a therapist now? If you want, I said, I'm okay. I said, I'm okay. I just this is just it's just I'm going through it right now. So I'll have to follow up with them and put that on my to-do list. Follow up with them. It may take a while. So I will especially with the holidays, I will follow up with them on Thursday. At the very last minute, I had to find another summer kept thing for JB because we're going to be traveling a lot more like going to my family, going here. And I didn't want to really depend on the lady that's locally. And y'all, there's something, one thing that I would advise all of you regardless if we are children or not listen to your gut instinct and something about this woman was telling me first right flag, I'm not going to give too much because you don't know who's watching your videos. But you know, I'm not even going to get into it. But I just feel like besides us traveling and doing stuff and I have to do a little bit more prepping JB for school, I can't we can't really go that route. And my gut instincts is telling me not to do it. So I put him under that last minute I have to find another camp for him. So all of that. Yeah, so let me put this down here, follow up with what is her face yearly. And then just just stuff around the household that I could do like setting up AC services, setting up inspection services. But here in a minute, I'm going to have my husband do take over all that normally. That's what I do. I manage all that and household because I'm so overwhelmed with this stuff. I can't. So y'all, let me hush up. I got to go ahead and like I said, build out my schedule for next week. This is another thing summer camp. We have to pay for summer skill summer camp excuse me at the private school. And I'm not we're not paying for that. So she sent me home with a bunch of stuff for Jamie. So I just have to figure out we have six weeks until school start and I'm going to sit up here and draft out a six week plan to help him and I'm going to have to recruit my husband to to help him with stuff. And yeah, that'd be it. Y'all, it's a little hard and I don't want to my husband's first language isn't English. He did not go to school here. So he really can't help me with some of the basic stuff. Yes, but he's educated. Let me just say that. But I would be, I can't sit up here and expect him to know how to do some of this stuff. And it's just straight because hell some of us that was born and raised here can't do this and to help our children. So I'm okay with that. I just got to spread it out overseas. That's the potato salad. Yum. Look at those beans. What type of cake is this mama? Good question. Okay, you know what? I'm sour cream pound cake. Okay. And you make this cake right here for somebody. Is this sour cream pound cake? Is are people coming by getting bear claws today? All of these are here. All of those. But if they don't show up, if he doesn't show up, I got someone wanting to buy some. Oh, okay. Okay. This is ribs and chicken. What do I call it? Short ribs. Oh, short ribs. Okay. And chicken. Okay. And chicken. Yeah, my daddy is putting David a work child. Excuse my parents backyard. They are pack racks. They're hoarders. Chai, I knew we would put him to work. Guys, this is my aunt, my Annie. And she's blogging me and we're gonna have some fun. It's 4th of July. Happy 4th of July, you guys. I don't go say anything. I just let them see. Okay. You so yellow on your bunny. It really is showing up her skin tone. Do you and your mommy watch how yellow y'all both are okay? We not that like. Say hi, honey. Hi, guys. Say hi, mama. Hi. This goes on YouTube, so. Okay, guys. I'm back again. Can you see me straight? Okay, guys. So we're out now. We have to go to my other Annie. We're going to my other great aunt's house to go get what the July food. And by the way, I'm nine years old. So if y'all think on seven or eight, I'm nine years old, get it straight. But, like I said, I'm on work. How you doing? Are you pretty used to being on YouTube? No, I'm not. You went a long time ago, like 2016. Y'all went to some type of vacation. See this? Thank you very much. And I can hold it too. So, just saying, I'm busy. Look, I have no problem let you guys know that I'm interviewing. What is it, baby? Are you okay? A couple more things on my laptop and I'm going to stop. Okay? I promise. And you want me to start cooking dinner soon? Okay. You want your fry still? No, I don't know. You don't know. You don't know if you want french fries or not? Anyway, y'all, let me tell you something. I'm going to have to do another chit chat because Pea Valley, baby, it is very dark. I won't try to give any spoilers away, but it's a little dark where they're going. God, y'all, I am so tired. I'm working non-stop. I literally have been working at my job since 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2. I've been working at my job. I've been working for nine hours. All right. So, when I tell you I'm tired, you guys, I'm not getting any new school sets, but we ain't gonna talk about that much. I'm going to be making, I'm going to show y'all, I'm going to be making for dinner. I'm going to be making something called chipotle cream pasta. I'm a little loose. Chipotle cream pasta. Anyway, y'all, so yeah, I'm going to make this pasta dish. I'll show y'all. Another thing I was doing this morning is running to the store and getting some wheat killer and just stuff around the house. Look, if you want to own a house, just know that it's a lot of work put into it. Like, we just moved here six months ago and I'm still having to contact AAC company and to make sure they come out and do regular maintenance. I need to contact a pest control. So, I went to Lowe's to pick up some like pest control stuff and also for the weeds, because the weeds are getting out of control. We do have someone, the guy next door, he does clean the, sorry, he does more our lawn. JB was supposed to go into a camp, baby. We went all the way to Terrell Texas, which is just 15 minutes, 15 minutes away. So, the camp got there and there were signs on the door that says the camp is closed. So, I came home, contacted them and was like, okay, I need my refund back for my money. Baby, you are going to have to go there these two days because they have a very strict policy. You can go to bed. You don't need nothing to wake you. Just go to bed, y'all. Look, if I could, if I didn't have no job, no bills, no stretch marks, I would be taking a nap now. JB, you'll be fine, baby. So, um, what was the talk of my girl? I had so much fun, y'all, in East Texas. Now, what I want to do is just go there and stay put. But because I'm still visiting people, I literally made three trips to my aunt's house. Granted, she lives like right down the street from my parents, but still in 102 degree, 104 degree weather. Yeah, I was tired. We got home at around 630. Kilgore is just an hour away from us. For me, I can do it in 45 minutes. So no problem. We're going to be back there. I'm going to do that, JB. That's my work. Don't do that. That's my, don't do that. Do not play with that. Hey, yeah, y'all, this is why I haven't been doing a lot of hair videos because one, I'm not doing my hair. Two is so busy that I have video, I have content recorded, but I just haven't had the chance to edit it. I just haven't. So you know, I'm going to do this in the morning because I'm tired, y'all. I've been trying to map out his home school, excuse me, his summer school stuff for a week now, and I just haven't been able to do it. So enough of me complaining, y'all. Next up, you'll see me making this food, okay? You guys, here is my chicken chipotle pasta dish. This is a very simple dish for me. It's a rip off from the dish that Cheesecake Factory sells. So I'm making two different versions because I'm going to have heavy cream and mushrooms in mine. I'm not going to add it in my husband. So it's, honey, I can't even give you a recipe because I put everything in it, garlic, onion, jalapenos, green beans, pinae pasta, heavy cream, mushrooms, bell peppers. Yeah, like three different types of bell peppers. Chicken stock is a lot. You can find a similar recipe here on YouTube if you're interested, but it's very, very good. You can always add different types of vegetables, spinach if you wanted to. The Cheesecake Factory does asparagus, but I don't really like asparagus. Yeah. So that's my pasta. This is my chipotle. This took me about 45 minutes to make. And here is the final result back in my husband's time. And here is mine with all the cheese. Thank you guys so much for watching. Take care. Bye.
