He's a very very calm person So So long story short his battery died at work And baby, I was asleep, you know, and we I went to bed at 10 normally he's home by 10 20 I went to bed at like 9 50. And so I was in deep rem sleep till he got home He had to end up taking an uber home. I was I felt so bad. I stayed up with him I'm like, I'm so sorry. I was asleep So Yesterday we were running around all day to get him a new battery And it was because of how his car was His his truck is at work in the garage In a crazy spot So the first tow truck couldn't even get to it. That was eight o'clock in the morning yesterday We couldn't get the second tow truck to come until noon yesterday So I'm running around taking him there coming back take and amongst all of this I had to go pick up JB figure out a cook dinner. He's like, I can order some pizza. You know, I'm like, no I already started I had already started dinner. I'm saying no, it's okay Work was crazy work is still crazy. So yeah, yesterday was done I was supposed to have recorded two hair videos yesterday. No my hair is still dirty so Today I need to really focus on getting some work done. I'm waiting for this man to call me back I'll just send him a message. Um our openness being delivered today Because of that, I'm picking up JB a little bit early because I don't want them um It's between two to six and I got to pick him up by three so I told his teacher I'll pick him up a little bit early JB is kind of doing better in school I know that it takes especially at this age it's going to take a little while for him to get back on track It's not like a snap of the finger. So for homework He's doing way better for homework I will say that as far as his attitude and actually sitting down and do it One of the things that helps is that I let him know We're not going anywhere on the weekend all this going to Chuck E Jesus and you know, even just to a store You know, that's a reward. You need to sit you a little Butt down And do your homework when you're told and if you could do that Then you know, I then you will be rewarded by going with me to Alversons So that seems to be helping So yeah, the oven's been delivered today. So my hair I'm washing my hair today I'm going to review a diy deep conditioner and then I am going to do a wash and go because our stove was delivered delivered This is a whirlpool Five eyes with a look you can see the red up underneath with a warm burner very simple Look, I cook a lot. I don't need nothing too too fancy. It's man. See just a basic stove It was on sale. I got it for like 600 which was It was originally like 750 750 almost 800 actually so and I got it like for six 650 or so open up the Yeah, so we're gonna be making some snickerdoodles. I did order a pizza last night because I'm like we I wanted our own stove to be cool when they take took it away. So yeah my mission and goal I'm all up on the camera girl my mission and goal is to go to uh church this morning Um, because I haven't been in months. Yeah, it's been A long time. Yeah, I need to order some refills online. Look, I'm so I'm a baby boomer stuck in A generation or what one of my gen gen x gen y body I didn't start doing this online prescription stuff till this year because I I still don't trust it to a certain degree It's sunday. My goal is to go to church um Hopefully we can get there, but let me tell you I am tired Yesterday was One of the worst days for me as a parent um And I think it's important to show these sides of being a parent because there's so many bloggers where you see them Out at the pumpkin patch drinking pumpkin spice lattes and picking up sped sweaters together and shit Yeah, I know, you know, most of the people who watch me actually your kids are older You know how it could be but yesterday for me, especially since my husband was at work And it was just me by myself It was just horrible And it wasn't just one incident jb was acting crazy the entire day And I mean like crying that you know that whining crying because he can't get what you want That that bs and not y'all. Sorry. Excuse my language, but I was I'm still I'm trying to come down off of it still Because it didn't stop until I literally put him in the bed. It's he he was so tired. He's he fell asleep early And it started in the morning time It continued All throughout the afternoon in the evening and I did everything I spanked him I took things away. What works with jb typically is when I take things away I took so many things away. I have no idea Where I did with some of this stuff. I mean, I was at a logical words. I literally Like around four o'clock four freaking pm. I was like jb I have had it I am I I'm exhausted at this point. I don't know why you're acting like this He just wouldn't listen Mommy, I want cereal. You can't have cereal. Um, then I can I have some chocolate? Like he must have asked me that 15 freaking times y'all And again, this is the behavior. He we were so and this is not like jb that this type of behavior Is not when he wakes up this morning I would be having a talk with him And when my husband gets his ass up, I'ma let him know you need to talk to this child No hit no any look one of my um Some people black people we really do need to reevaluate some of us our disciplinary. There's a difference between discipline and um Abuse when my girlfriend was here from Trinidad and again, not every not every black person is like this But when my girlfriend was here from Trinidad and jb kept doing little shit And at that age I would um Yeah, I would when I would take stuff away. That was it. She was like, oh no She said when I was his age, I remember I talked back so bad. He wasn't even talking about She said I talked back so bad my grandmother beat me so bad. I couldn't walk for three days I'm like, I'm not trying to beat my child to where he can't walk. Are you serious? You know, you have to tailor Um, everybody's different and you have to tailor your Parenting based on their child every every child is different every family look when I was growing up Just the mere fact of my parents to the red knit to hit me. I was straight enough, but my sister Oh, no, yeah, my sister got a spanking every day and it really it didn't do any good for her It really didn't because she kept doing the same stuff every day Every and I mean up until she was a teenager. Yeah My parents they tried but y'all But with me I was like cool. I see that and you threatened me verbatim That's all you gotta do mama. I'm I'm good Well, that's Yeah, looks like something's going on today Then what are these boots for? Tell me about No one here used to work at our office. It's a lot closer. I'm very sure of it You want to swing I know I do have a nice angle of view
