 You have excuses. I'm in the middle of doing another video where I'm showing you how I'm detangling my hair. So this is a chit chat video. I know how we do this. I talk about what's going on in my personal life when I'm watching on YouTube and what I'm watching on TV. So girl, I mentioned in my last hair related video and the voice over that my hair is matted. I have not detangled my hair in close to four months. I was putting it off, putting it off, putting it off because you guys, I haven't been taking care of me and I hate to do that and I feel guilty about it because I'm always the one that's preaching self-love, self-care, put yourself first. It's not selfish. If you don't take care of yourself, how can you take care of other people? So my life has been overall transactional because we moved from, why in Phoenix we moved? We moved to an apartment and then we moved across state here. We did all of that in like six or seven months. We moved and did all that. We moved stuff and do a storage unit. So yeah, it was... So the last thing I have time to do is detangle my hair for two hours. I wanted Ms. Urlet to do my hair one time but she ended up going to Canada for a while. Yeah, she gotta work, you know what I mean? So my hair ended up really matted and I have a lot of shitted hair. I've only detangled a little section and I have this much coming out so far. So it is what it is. So you guys, this is technically look at that. Look at that. Look at that. It is technically our second week here in Dallas in Texas. Y'all I'm so excited but it's been a challenge. It really has been a challenge. We love our house. We love it. Oh, something's hard. Do y'all get that? I get like hard pieces. Anyway, we love our house. It's a little bit bigger than our previous house. Y'all have to excuse my husband in the background. He has allergies, girl. It is what it is. And so the traffic is interesting. I know my girlfriend had warned me about the traffic but you know what it is, you guys. You have to go out. You have to be smart when you're traveling and getting out in this area because even though Forney is a smaller part of Dallas and this doesn't have a lot of people, it has grown a lot over the course of the past two years. Hell, over the course of the past year, it has really grown a lot. I'm really surprised. And so the infrastructure, meaning the infrastructure of the city, cannot handle the population increase. The population growth so fast. So things like going to the store, if you don't go to the store baby by 3 o'clock, there ain't gonna be no chicken. There's not gonna be any eggs, no milk. Like seriously, it is absolutely. There will be some stuff there but it may not be what you want. And so that's something that we learned. Don't mess with our food. We learned that pretty quick. And so, but to me, that's first world problems. There's still milk. It may not be the organic 2% that you used to drinking, but there's 1% Kroga brand. You know what I mean? So we just have to make it work out. What else? JV started school, baby. Y'all. So he started school. And within the second day, he said, Mama, these kids are bad. I'm like, what's going on, baby? So what has happened is that in Barney, you can live way on the south side and go to school in our area and it's okay. So what has happened due to the increase in the population? They had to build two new schools, two new elementary schools. And they're already at capacity, full capacity. One of the teachers was telling me this yesterday. So when we got there, I noticed I was looking at all the kids and all the cute little brown kids. I'm like, wait a minute, I know all these kids don't live in our neighborhood. What are all of these kids coming from? I was loving it. But I'm like, where are these kids coming from? So another father in the neighborhood told me, and mind you guys, our neighborhood is mixed. It's primarily white, but there are black families, which we love. And so I asked another father, I'm like, yeah, what's going on with the school? He said, oh, he said, well, when that school first got built, all the kids in the other areas, the south side areas, they started busting their kids over here. So then the people that live in our area started pulling their kids out and going to the other schools. So you guys, you know, I love that JB gets to be around kids that look like him. But it's just a different socioeconomic status. Okay. I think one of the fathers told me that a lot of the area, there's a lot of section eight, which, you know, it is what it is. But my thing is that JB said that the teacher is forever trying to get these kids to quiet down and behave. They're not listening. And he said that it's gotten to a point to where he can't even concentrate in the classroom. I'm like, Oh my God. So I go pick them up and all I see are nothing wrong with it. Because look, I wear a scarf. When I go pick them up, I wear a cute little scarf. But we see bonnet, simplet flocks and slippers. That's so that's the demographic. So we're gonna end up moving him August. He just has a few more months there. And we're gonna end up moving him in August. But I was really shocked by that, that basically, there's no saying, Oh, you don't live within five miles radius. You can't go to the school. Yeah, you can. You can come all the way from where you live at to come to our school. So a lot of younger parents, nothing wrong with being young and being a parent. But sometimes these younger parents don't have the same type of mindset as we do. Because we don't even see like homework, because I guess they change some stuff. Because I like these kids don't even want to listen to us. Why they're gonna do homework? Kids are so resilient though, y'all. So that's what's going on. We'll end up moving him to another school. It'll be just a couple more months. What school is that? What may he'll be okay by then. But yeah, it is what it is. So that's going on. I get to go to East Texas to meet my family. Because look, when we first got here, even before we got here, my parents were sick with COVID. My mom got sick and we knew it mentioned he was spread around and showing up. My dad ended up getting sick, then my sister ended up getting sick. So I hadn't seen them. And so I'm excited we're gonna drive down to Longview Saturday, early Saturday, and get here before door. Oh, because that's another thing. This man, he's right behind me in the living room. There's this is when I say this is a small town. There are two lane roads, a lot of them. I know how to drive on two lane roads because I'm from the country. Even though Longview is bigger than 40. So I'm used to driving on two lane. They're not this man. Now he don't know on it. So even with that being said, it's dark out here at night, like really dark. So if you don't know where you're going, you can get lost and be going the wrong way. So I definitely when I do visit my family, I definitely want to make sure that I get back before it starts to get dark. And I have driven out here. While it was dark, and then it was it was confusing. But and next week, I'm going to start getting back into the routine of making me first and getting me together. I think that's so important, you guys. And it can be overwhelming when you have fallen off of everything. When I mean to tell you I've fallen off on everything. I say a quick little prayer and read one scripture. No, you need to spend time with God. No exercise me because we got rid of our treadmill with my husband is ordering a treadmill soon. But hell, I think we're outside and why we ain't doing that. Eating crappy. I'm just horrible. Not even I started to find my little planner, because those of you don't know I like to do crafts and I have a happy planner in which I plan out my days and my weeks. Girl, I do a little to-do list, but I have my stickers I can get to get so I guess what I'm saying is that every week, I want to incorporate another thing that I'm used to doing and start getting back focusing on me and making sure that vividness put together. Y'all look how much my hair has grown. Do you see that? Yes. But anyway, focusing on me so that I could be a better wife, a better mother, a better sister, a better daughter, a better YouTuber. You know what I mean? So this week, I started back stretching in the morning. That's something I always do. It's five minutes. Do some yoga stretchings. Make sure I stretch. I drink my water. Y'all drinking your water? Are you doing some type of stretching or moving your body? Do something. And so next week, I'm going to incorporate more of my planning. You know, I'm going to go through with my yearly, I don't even do yearly goals. I do like three to five years goals. Let's just be real. So go over my little three to five year goals that I put together back in 2020 and start getting all that together and making sure that I'm on track. Okay? Look, what is the weather like where you guys are at? Because baby, when I tell you it has been cold here. One time last week, it was 28 degrees, 28 degrees cold. So I'm walking around with um feet. Y'all remember that episode of Martin where y'all know what I'm about to say? The episode of Martin where Gina had to go work for Shanae Nae and she was doing Myra's feet and Shanae Nae was like, girl, oh my goodness, you gotta go to work on Myra's feet. And she probably like that big-ass drill buck or whatever. That's when my feet feel like like my feet are so rough because it's been cold and I haven't been scrubbing my feet and getting the. So stuff like that, I have little stuff I need to get back to doing but one thing at a time, you know, let's do my hair first. Let's start stretching, um get my prayers together, you know, make that a priority and yeah. And so um y'all this this section is giving me a hard time. I have been detangling my hair. I've only done this bit and I've been doing it for almost 30 minutes. We're going to be here all day. So that's the family up days and I know I had a comment on my last video. She wanted to know, hi honey, I know you from the islands. I have a lot of people from the islands that watch me. She wanted to know, you know, how we are. We got a job here. Girl, no. I've been working from home before working from home was popular. I have tons of videos on that. So my husband is not working. However, he will be finding a he's in the middle of looking for a part of this is the this is the beast. This whole right here. Sorry y'all. He's in the middle of looking for a here in a part time job right now and um he's going to take his time because when I tell you we did good on the sale of our house, baby, we did really. I'm not going to give you all the numbers but basically it's our salary what we would make in a year and more. So yeah, we make six figures. So yeah, we did really good. God is good. So we don't have he doesn't have to go out there and find a job right away. There's no need for that. So he's going to take his time and find something and plus, you know, with me still working and we get benefits and all that. Girl, you know, these benefits are trash but it is what it is. I have benefits. What's going on here? So that was a long life update y'all. I'm sorry. I probably said a little bit too much. So what I'm watching on YouTube before we talk about YouTube, let's talk about a little bit about what's in the news and all this. I think that is it is absolutely devastating. Did you hear about Regina King's son committing suicide like three days before his birthday? His 26th birthday? Is that what? To lose your only child to a to lose a child in general to suicide and to even just lose a child regardless of what you know how they died. To lose a child, I just I've known people who have lost children and they when I tell you they are not the same. One person I knew and we'll get back to Regina King. When I was working for UNT out here in Denton, Texas and I got transferred to a job and actually found her on Facebook. I didn't reconnect with her because I doubt that she remembered who I was but anyway the first week I was working there she kind of got quiet and said she oh there was a picture of her daughter. I'm like oh is that your daughter? She's cute. She's like she kind of got a little frigid the co-worker and she's like yes that's my daughter. She was murdered a couple of years ago. Her and her friend were murdered and this was a big thing in Denton. They were at a lake and her friend were murdered and my co-worker stated that it took a toll on her soul back that she ended up in a mental institution for a couple of months. So when I tell you I don't know anyone who has lost a child and is out here smiling. How do they make it so for Regina King to lose her only child to suicide right before his birthday it's just so devastating. Make him want to stay. You know I saw a comment and I'm gonna you know clock my own T. I saw a comment that someone said was basically like you know committing suicide you know it's selfish and someone else has said you know a lot of these kids are not as strong and they're you know they're weak. Let me tell you something. None of us were kids in the middle of a pandemic. If you and we're going through this as grown-ass adults I couldn't imagine what and not to say he was a kid but he was a young adult. Well young adult and these younger kids so even my child JP was like he was having anxiety. I'm like you ain't got no bills. Why you have anxiety but then I had to really think about them. My baby was having anxiety. He was anxious. He is anxious okay. Tasha Kaye. I really don't even watch her. She's the one that drink y'all be drinking all day. Tasha Kaye I guess fell out at court because the judge was like yeah you gotta pay up. Look that's it. She ain't bringing it. What was that $1.5 million she has to pay to Cardi B. I had no idea she said all that about that girl. I'm look I'm not a fan of Cardi B but at the end of the day these people have families. These people have a personality. They are entertainers. So for you to slander and make all of these lewd remarks about her and her child and not think you ain't gonna you can't do that y'all. So YouTubers better be you these gossip YouTubers better be careful. They have got to be careful because they can definitely come after you and so um she better start making promises videos today to pay her back. Lord have mercy but that's crazy. Um did y'all hear about those trigger trigger warning this has to do with rape and incest not necessarily incest but children did y'all hear about those three boys here in Texas that killed their stepfather when they found out that he had messed with their uh little sister. Look I believe that there is no um room in our society for pedophiles and the fact of the matter is if I remember correctly did he already he had a warrant out or he would already gotten in trouble for touching another little girl. We have got to get harsher sentences for these molesters and pedophiles but we know why they want to do it. I'm gonna be very frank because the ones that are in the court some of them not all are in running the court system or pedophiles themselves so I would think want to do harsher sentences you know what I mean. So those boys they're going to have to do some time it's really sad and I think I saw a little clip and one of them had his head down and he knew like he was about to start crying. To them they were protecting their sister. All these people getting divorces y'all there wasn't yet another youtuber and look I'm not making light of divorce because that could be just a devastating thing especially if you have children involved um all these folks getting divorces separation this is absolutely horrible and sad. Megan Good honestly when it comes to Megan Good and her pastor husband I'm honest I hate to say this I'm not surprised I'm surprised it lasted this long though I know that's a bad thing to say but I'm not surprised I really am not you guys Lisa Bonnet and the Aquaman I don't know his name with his fine self but he the Aquaman ain't he um and I still haven't seen that Netflix movie he's in but they're getting divorced how long were they married for eight years and I am surprised by that I am surprised now what part are we gonna go to to now y'all okay this part okay hold on y'all I watched a video from April B y'all remember April B she started off you know showing her hair you know doing hair videos then she started doing um what do you call it she started renovating pieces of furniture and I got a lot of inspiration from her doing that and then she bought a house and she started a home renovation renovation it's a couple of years has it been like two years when she bought a house and she had her uncle helping her and I just love the fact that a lot of us she did it herself y'all she had a hand saw out there and of course she hired some contractors and people who you know for people to do stuff when I tell you this this girl oh I was even showing my husband some of her videos yesterday and I'm like wow so she uploaded I guess her last video is that it for her y'all child look this was driving me crazy look just yesterday he's like I got you something I know you've been wanting and I'm thinking oh my god he got me something because I didn't ask anything for anything for my birthday for Christmas nothing that's I'm trying to be quiet I'm like oh yeah he got me something why didn't he walk in with some printer paper I'm like really if you don't go sit your ass now you would never be you would never run out get your ass nothing else I'm watching on YouTube you guys just random videos like I said um I'm still watching true crime like JB hates it but I love me some true crime y'all I absolutely love it still watching that so what I'm watching on tv finally had some time to watch some tv um not a lot though y'all because like I said I'm slowly we're busy so watching the Ozarks the oh the Ozarks is back on Netflix spoiler alert if you haven't seen it maybe I was so confused like the first episode when they kept saying um the little boy was saying well you killed Ben I'm like who the hell is Ben I forgot that Ben was the wife's brother again spoiler alert um and he had some mental issues and he ended excuse me they ended up killing him and cremating his body and she just had to ask herself that mother to me y'all that mother I cannot stand that character I really can't stand her like I would not be upset if if the cartel did something to her like I really wouldn't she's a problem she's selfish she's bossy I really don't like her and the one uh hick girl with the blonde hair what is her name y'all Darlene is her name Darlene she's British I was it look it is really hard to pull off a southern accent a word of the hell they from the Ozarks it's really hard to pull and she plays a white trash girl I'm keep looking over here y'all she plays that role good um so yeah Ozarks is back season four I added onto my list um the 100 look I am notorious for starting a series and just stopping because I get bored I did that with the wire I did that with fear of the walking dead and the walking dead um oh breaking bed like seriously if I get bored I will stop watching it like at the very end I'll stop watching it because I really don't want to continue so I'm gonna go back and I was on the last season of the 100 and I'm gonna finish it started to get weird too I'm like it's not funny but it is I did it and they deserved it um yeah so I'm going to end the video off with this the reason why I'm in the situation I'm in now is because I got so busy with life which we all do there's no excuses and I know I should not beat myself up about it but I knew I had to detangle my dang on here and I just kept putting it to the side and putting other people and other people needs even just like talk to I befriended the girls at the apartment complex even just going there talking to them I could have been using that time to detain you know what I mean so put yourself first it's not selfish um do something for yourself there's nothing wrong with it okay you guys so that is it I will be back with these hair videos when I get this and detangle baby so that is it you guys thank you so much for watching take care bye
