 Yeah, my skin. I'm sorry. Let me just hi y'all. How y'all doing girl? Do not adjust your TV screen yet, honey It is me. It is me this is going to be a Disclaimer before we get into this particular vlog The footage that you're about to see is before everyone went batshit crazy and stole all the tissue paper. Oh My gosh you guys this is day two of us practicing self-isolation Girl, I'm an introvert. We're all introverts and we're like, what does this mean? I think it's I think it's hilarious have the how they are describing what to do, but Let me back up. Let me not jump ahead So you guys I've decided to come back because Of course everything's shutting down. Our schools are shutting down those of you who are not in the US Let me just explain Our schools are shutting down Restaurants bars Churches are shutting down. We are told to stay in our houses Store up on supplies the grocery stores have limited products We are rationing stuff and that is the day that we are living in right now it is March 17th 2020, but Miss Jackson and her family are blessed and highly Favored look, let me tell you guys the reason why I wanted to come back Well, so a reason why everything's shutting down great. I'm working. I bought and I work from home I've always worked from home for a while now But I'm noticing we're steady busy, but it's backing up a little bit and plus with JB been home I have time I've had a mix of emotions about this entire ordeal and look what we're not going to do on my vlog Coming back because I know y'all sick of hearing it I'm I'm not want to talk about this on every blog and we're not you're gonna see us do everyday stuff inside the house You're gonna see me cooking my skin is breaking out because I've eaten all types of different food I just want you to know that every vlog is not gonna be about this this corn current curve This whole you know this virus The rona we gonna call it rona. That's what everyone's been a nickname in the black folks name a rona We would not be discussing the rona virus on every dang on blog. I'm not doing that Okay, because I think that just increases anxiety unless it's from a healthy perspective like yeah, yeah The rona virus is done. Yeah, and then we'll talk about it But this is the only vlog or we really get into it cuz honestly, okay, so yeah, we're on day two of self-isolation our governor here in Phoenix, Arizona, excuse me the governor of Arizona Officially close to schools on Sunday Now the things that make me the thing that made me very frustrated a couple of things so hoarding in the stores Walmart target crazy We have enough supplies for two weeks, but there are certain things that we're still running low on like toilet paper But you know what we have other things in here that we could use look y'all If anything, I know that people of color are very resilient people, baby Okay, so I'm good. I got tons of food. I have enough food to last me for a month But I've always been that way and look y'all know that I was a prepper before my stockpile that I had I have This is what I'm telling y'all you got to really listen to your intuition if something was telling me I'm sharing y'all this was she was sharing this with y'all sharing this with y'all now now a Few months ago something was urging me you need to get back on your prepping You need to get back on and I was like whatever but I did I pulled it out I looked at it. I looked at it and I started collecting little bitty of things and Sure enough a lot of the stuff you cannot find in the store like anti-bacterial lotion is done I have it now one thing I have been doing. I'm not just it's all mine I've given one to my child's school because my son's school is having care I'll talk about that later on I gave one to my son's school I gave one to my neighbor who She has a wicked means system. Okay, I have one too, but Y'all anyway, let me get back. So I've been going through a mix of emotions Frustrated first I was with a lot of y'all. I was scared to say how panicked especially when I saw there was no eggs Panicked worried concerned absolutely anxiety anxiety was up there that lasted 24 hours And I got right I got right with God I went back to reading my Bible reading a few more scriptures. I got right. That's the need is not going to come back Yeah, it's come back some way, but right now. I'm frustrated Frustrated at what I see in the stores and first rich and frustrated at what I see on social media I'm not on Facebook that much anymore. Let me tell you something if you're going through anxiety If you're panic, don't be getting on Facebook and Instagram looking at all this stuff I know some of you guys have sent me messages. I read them later on I may not respond right away because I'm not on it So I know some of you know, well, why are you making videos these videos that I'm going to be making is to help you to relieve Your anxiety and hell mines too So anyway, you guys we are doing good. Let me tell you something we know who has to last say, okay I'm a believer. I'm a Christian I'm good and especially after speaking to my husband I'm not going to get into all of that those who don't know my husband is a lab supervisor He has 20 years of studying infectious diseases I'm just gonna say this we he had a patient that came in positive The guy walked up with his meds and they told him to stay home You know drink plenty of fluids and basically treat your symptoms and he's good Again, most people are going to be good The only thing that we are doing now is causing stress and panic which actually weakens your immune system But if you get it Most of you will be okay. If you're child if my I'm so confident And you know, y'all that if jpeg God forbid if JB gets or if I get it, we will be okay Okay, you know, so and I have a suppressive immune system The people who won't be okay or the elderly Smokers are gonna have a hard time because it's really infects the lungs apparently so I'm gonna wipe my hands clean of that move it on reach your scriptures girl and Don't overreact. Okay. That's again, that doesn't mean that I'm like yay. Whatever. I'm staying home. I don't care We have prepared we have stuff But now I'm good, you know what I mean So what to expect on these blogs? I'm gonna be inside the house every so often, but we will be going out We just won't be in Please I'm gonna be taking to be to the park. You're gonna be seeing what I'm doing as far as His online education and I'm gonna be here in a minute. I'm gonna put together a couple of What I call packets based off the information that his teacher has given us today. So We switched to online That's a couple of things I want to talk about actually we switched to online like most schools have which is really challenging for kids JB's age in my opinion and so his teacher yesterday We're on Google classroom. I immediately got on signed up. I already, you know Did everything I had to do and I read I requested for her For the printouts of the actual because it's easier for a child this age to see it here And then maybe reinforce it online if that makes sense. So you guys are gonna be seeing a little bit of that My good friend Wanda. She is a educator. She's a professor actually excuse me and she's gonna be doing a YouTube She created a YouTube channel for instructors who are transitioning from instructor led to online I've been helping her with her channel. And so yeah, y'all That's what to expect. So the footage that you're going to see now is from our trip The first half girl is my frustrations with his school But look at this now. He's at school for two weeks. And so now I care, you know, that's why I said you got it Even though it's frustrated and I'm still I'm busy at work. You know, it's steady. Okay. I'm not overwhelmed this steady We were having issues with his school now We're out for school for two weeks and perhaps even longer So I have this time to actually see if I could do homeschooling with him But you know what? I mean, I have this opportunity for me. This is an opportunity. Okay Hey, yeah, we're gonna be going to the parks You're gonna be seeing what I'm gonna be cooking with the food that I have here I probably won't need to go to the grocery store for a good for a good weekend. I have I'm gonna be preparing meals for my neighbors because I'm just I was doing this before Okay, so I'm gonna be preparing extra stuff for my neighbors. You're gonna see that So again, the footage you're about to see is what happened in early March and of course our trip to Sedona So, all right you guys, um, I don't know how often I will be posting perhaps When blocks I try to pull posts every three days and I will start releasing here videos to then.

When I first heard that song it's called gentlemen and it came up after I was listening to lucky day Yeah, I will have to excuse the background girl It is we are planning a trip to Sedona. I'm taking on with me There's a lot going on I need to make a list of what I'm gonna talk about real quick cuz I'm just gonna give y'all if you don't want to hear all this Update don't look at it. You know fast forward it to the Sedona stuff Let me make a list of some shit that's been I should watch my language. Um Hold on y'all Okay, it's been trying it has been trying so At this point now, I've only been gone for a week from when I'm recording this video. Look how thin I look I'm gonna get into that too so That week it was a lot. It was a lot going on. I mean I was stressful. I was running on E I wasn't sleeping a lot meaning I was going to bed at 9 But then waking up at like 3 o'clock in the morning and I typically am an early riser, but not 3 in the morning I was waking up at like I Was waking up at 3 33 for a long time and I'm like what the heck does this mean? But anyway girl I'm all I'm gonna be all over the place cuz I'm rushing cuz I have to go to JB school Which is I'm gonna discuss that too. So y'all just a lot going on I'm not a sickly person right now I try to keep my health in order But I do have some things that are going on with my body that I don't feel Comfortable yet sharing it with you guys just because I try to keep some things private even though I am a youtuber Is this in focus? Shit, sorry y'all. Um, I try to keep some things private Just because that that's just what makes me feel safer. I know that doesn't make make much sense But I will share this I've had to find all new doctors in a year and that right there can cause someone anxiety The one I found her great great relationship had two visits The visit I saw her in January of this year and she's like she called me which is when a doctor calls you directly I was concerned. She was like, hey, this is dr. Patterson just to let you know Your white blood cells are extremely low. You need to get off this medication again I'm not gonna get into all of the details and I was like what she's like Yeah, if you want to send this medication go to your old doctor But if you're gonna if I'm gonna be following you you can't be honest. You need to stop immediately I'm like, okay. So I stopped it. Why did her office send me a letter a week later that says Dr. So-and-so is retiring. You need to find a new doctor within so-and-so days I'm like are you so you had me to stop this medication Which because my white blood cells is low which thank you because I know the corolla virus I'm calling it the corolla virus the corolla virus is going around girl. I mean they people dropping So Thank you for let me know that so I took her advice. Look, I'm a type of person. I will Once I have built a reputation with my doctors. I take their advice So I got off of that shit and so we started the process of getting on a new medication We're in it and that process right now. That's what's going on there Then literally while all this is going on we are still having trouble with JB and his school I don't even want to say trouble. There's been multiple issues and y'all I will say this it started off just All way word. I mean the first in first grade, excuse me in kindergarten. He's in first grade now in kindergarten JB had three teachers So again, he didn't have stability. He didn't have the foundation getting to this grade first grade And they start off good start off good going great This is first grade everything starts off great and then they started giving us a lot of homework to do All the kids scores start going down. Everybody's scores started plummeting. So Two weeks ago, it's not been two weeks two weeks ago I go to pick him up and I can see the look on her face. The look on her face says she's done And she's like, you know, I don't know what to do anymore I tried to test him today and he couldn't even sit there and test like I couldn't even test him And I'm looking at her because I'm surprised because on his last report court. He went up in every grade We celebrated. I mean, he was still struggling in four areas. But overall he's in high B But now she's saying, you know, I I don't know what to do and so I said, okay Let's go ahead and schedule a time to meet with each other And you know, I'll bring my husband with us. So we we are here to support you We want our son to be successful. Okay, cool From the time we had that appointment that we met excuse me to the actual Meeting with her, which was just two days ago So much stuff happened in between that you guys My child was coming home every day seeing his friends have started to be memecing him. Um, There's a lot going on on the playground And they're being a little rough. So I'm a boss mom And I'm a bear mom I have no problems approaching another parent and letting them know. Hey Just to let you know, the kids are being a little bit Hi, how you doing girl? Just to let you know, you know, that's how I start out with Hi, you know, just I just want to bring something to your attention that they're being a little rough on the playground And you know, it's hurting jayby's feelings. Okay I did that twice twice a week went by One day when I pick up jayby, he said mommy, I want to go to another school They were messing with me so and so pushing me on my head. I was crying girl. I saw red When I tell y'all I I said, okay, we're done. I said come on. Let's go I went to go talk to uh the friend this I said I need to have a meeting with a principal Because this has been going on like every other day on the playground I don't know if you guys are not watching these kids or what's going on But now someone has touched my baby and I have taught jayby how to fight you guys to fight back I know that that goes against school policy But I'm sorry. My child is not going to be he he has every right to defend himself. He really does. Okay, so That happened Literally every day some bull shit was happening. I I I hate that I'm cursing but I was very upset. I'm still a little upset about it It's just very frustrating because we're still Going through the tell-in of it. So every other day something was happening. So the next day I will go up there Oh, they called me because she's the the one lady was like administrative was like well, we have footage We have cameras. We can review the field footage. So she calls me. I wasn't available. So I roll up in there. I'm like I'm here. Can we meet? Oh, yeah She said well, this is how she starts out this meeting, right? Let me back up Apparently the same day that where the altercation happened where the child touched jayby jayby and another boy were fighting over a pencil Okay, they were fighting over a pencil the jayby grabbed the little boy grab it and the little boy got scratched Okay, they squashed it out meaning jayby and this other child. They were like they made up It was good. Cool. Well, apparently this child went back on the playground told his little friends And they were like jayby you mean you're mean jayby. Why are you so mean? You know going back in for vickering. I was aware of that before I went into this meeting with the administrator, right? So going to the meeting with the administrator and she's like well just to let you know Apparently there has been and there was an incident with jayby And another child regarding a pencil And jayby scratched the child. I saw the scratch. This is the this is the lady speaking to me, right? I saw the scratch on the child's belly and he looked really bad Um, and apparently, you know, there's some issues with jayby Behavior issues that's been coming up. And so that doesn't justify anything But we just want to let you aware Excuse me to make you aware of that We have seen the footage and we did see the child jump on jayby's neck and we are addressing that because that is absolutely not right So I'm Listened to this and I'm like what type of behavior issues or you uh It's going on with jayby because this is the first i'm hearing of this No, because if this is If this was something that would have been you know addressed We would have helped him with this at home. So where he's not acting like a fool at school. This one. I'm thinking in my head I'm not telling you this is what I'm thinking So she's like, well, apparently he's invading people's personal space And um, you know sitting too close to people don't think of these are six or seven year olds I said, okay Thank you So I'm like, well, let me go up to the to the playground and see what's going on When I tell you that playground was Child I always said where's the zola? What where's the value? What the hell? There was easily because the first graders and kindergarten was out there all together I'm gonna say about a hundred kids There were three teachers assistants three teacher assistants and I'm getting to that watching them 100 plus kids so I've been going up there like every two or that two or three days and one of the teachers assistant She sees me. She's like, are you here to volunteer? I said, no, I'm just here spying on my child Um, just to make sure things are all going okay because you know Sometimes it could be a little rough on the playground and he's been coming home Upset some days because they've been a little physical too physical with him And I said, I don't know if he's not coming to you guys because he's just assuming you're big big kids And she kind of laughed it off. She's like, well actually I'm just I'm only 18 I said, do what? I said, what? I said, okay They have kids watching kids now. I know I got some young people watching me But those of you who are young do you feel like you could watch 105 six seven year olds and I'm not exaggerating you guys It is the entire first grade and kindergarten class. There are four kindergarten class There are it's probably more than a hundred. There are four kindergarten class Four first grade class between 15s or 20 kids period classes eight classes do the math Three three people watching them three teenagers Two teenagers one adult But mostly two teenagers in there because of the adult has to go inside I was like, what the I don't think a 18 year old 19 year old 20 even 20 21 year old Have the mental patients Hell sometimes I don't and I have a child to watch children that that age If it was like 15 16 year olds, okay, but that young you got to be very careful. So when I heard that I'm up there now every two days Volunteering was really I'm really stalking everyone not just my child So now I go up to his school every two days to volunteer doing lunch to make sure no shit don't to pop off because this is ridiculous Um, but in the meantime, you know, we did have our teacher parent conference with his teacher and She's you know, she stated that she doesn't feel like He's you know slowing in the area JB is a type of person. I I knew it. You know, you know, you know your children is a free spirit JB is a type of person. He's almost like a dang on hippie. He's he's like a 50 year old hippie What's the point of all of this when I could just get into my canoe and study the stars He's a dreamer. Okay So to him to sit down And do work is like what for so even though he knows the work even though he knows the answers He's not going to really try I have a problem with that y'all because me being I'm like, I know you you You gotta make mama proud but not only that but just So we've been working with him And what I've been doing is making learning fun at home and again, that's a lot of work You know, I I'm working with him between 30 minutes to between 30 to 45 minutes every day after school You know after he's had a snack or whatever 30 to 45 minutes every day after school We did some different things yesterday as far as spelling because he's been struggling with his spelling and reading He knows how to read but just not as fast as the other children Um, but y'all at this point, I don't even have the energy I don't have the energy or desire Especially with this stuff going on in the playground and for my understanding at this school It gets worse the bullying the mean kids at the upper levels It's horrible. Um, and I know it happens at a lot of schools not just good and this is a charter school This the school got a good reputation But I have noticed that the reviews are going down A lot of the teachers are leaving so there's a lot of things going on and I Something in me. Um, listen, it's in my intuition. Something's telling me something's off It's something's off And so my husband was like, well, you know, because I told him I said we we need to look at other schools And he's like, well, you know the grass isn't always greener. I said, well, you won't figure it out You won't you won't even know that until you go see how green it is You know what? I mean, I understand the third that Every school is going to have their own set of problems But we've been having problems from the get-go at the school and I'm done Yeah, I went ahead and turned that down. There is nothing like biting to Um, a dish with peppers in their lamp. I like my peppers to have a bite to them You know, they're gonna be done, but I can have a bite to them So now for seasonings, I have all types of stuff over here. Now. Yeah, I stopped using that You know that green or that orange? Um, Cajun seasoning that stuff has so much sodium instead I've used the new Orleans Cajun and the roasted garlic and herb seasoning by Weber I get this at Walmart. You could purchase it at your local grocery store This stuff only has 4% seasoning that other stuff has so much Sodium excuse me has 4% sodium when you get most of the time you have pre-mixed Seasonings they have a lot of sodium a lot of salt. So I'm trying to watch that Also have this Cajun and Creole blend. It's okay. Let's check the sodium content on this 4% not bad it on this sea salt value grill. It's all right This is mostly mostly better if you're grilling food got onion powder powder I got onion powder garlic powder red pepper flakes pink Himalayan salt paprika What is this? I think my husband had this out chipotle. I'm not gonna use that So for a little bit longer and Take these off I want to use this same pan to work up my spinach But I'm gonna wait till my potatoes are almost done because you're not gonna take that much time at all To put together the spinach and salmon. I like to cook my food with The food that takes the longest cooked that first. This is where my potatoes on here on here Anything that takes less than 15 minutes. I cook that halfway through so everything is done at the same time. Okay From you guys we are in Sedona. How do you like it, baby? Good. Let me make this brighter This is the living quarters area.

So I gotta be careful. I started getting chest pain. I started getting a little bit of chest pain yesterday But it comes and goes Wait, let's wait for your daddy You ready? This is the open area with a lot of secret areas Look at this like what does this remind you of? This Reminds me of these cool things in Akama. Yep. I'll have daddy to take you. I can't go up there Oh gosh, you're not talking about Zelda Hey you guys it is our last night in Sedona don't get too much into the camera jay because you don't want any clothes on It's our last night in Sedona and it's been a great great vacation just to get away Um, if those you don't know we only live We only live an hour in a way an hour and a half away from Sedona, that's how far up north we are But um, it's very crowded because it is spring break weekend. Um I was trying to explain to you guys while we were up on the mountains that I was having issues with elevation Normally, I don't have any problems with Elevation at in Sedona, but I I don't know what it is. I don't know. It's because I'm a little bit older now um And just you know, I don't know but yeah, I've been having some Some problems only when I'm doing something that's really physically, you know And also now I think about I haven't even been working out. That's why working out is so good for you Especially if you have asthma I haven't been doing any type of workout activity in months So, uh, yeah, so when we went up, what do we know? We went up a flight of stairs the second day And I noticed when I got up to the top I was a little breathy The air up here is really thin you guys. We're about 5,000 feet above sea level Um And as I tried to say to when we first went to said to we went to Flagstaff done we went to the Grand Canyon. Oh, we had to leave early After 24 hours people who have upper respiratory issues your body your body would start to react to So yeah, we went to the Grand Canyon a couple of years ago. That was the worst feeling ever We had to leave early And come back now to Sedona Um, but you know, even with that it's been okay because Just walking around normally, okay, but if I go for a flight of stairs or if I try to go hiking It happened it, you know, I started to get out of breath and my chest started to hurt a little bit But I have my The the um deep fry. Yeah, that was really fun y'all JB's asthma is acting up too, but he's okay. Um, his asthma started to act up before we even got here Joe Bobby look red. Don't do that to my thing But this is red because of the tank I know y'all when I tell you I'm gonna have to do a detox We have been drinking Like our hotel has five dollar margaritas. I mean, we don't even drink hard liquor inside of our house We only drink it outside socially. So like once a month Uh, so yeah when we go back home today though, I'm I need to just do nothing but salary Eat a bunch of salary and drink water But no, this has been really nice. It's just everything is so beautiful here I say if you can, you know Get a chance to come visit it. It's not what you think it's from the people there Everyone we've been meeting is from texas. So the people that were on the jeep tour with us. They were from Um, originally from amorello, but they live in Dallas And then the people we hooked up with last night Um at the campfire because they have campfires out here So we've been hanging out outside because it's nice. They build up these huge fires, you know in the patio They call it the porch the back porch and we have s'mores and we have margaritas You can eat out there play games jayvies been playing games. And so anyway, those people from houston So just speaking to people do you automatically assume that arizona is desert? Well, it's not Um, you go all the way up to flak stop where there's trees. There's pine trees And it's a forest Um, and it snows up there. They have something called snowball and they come out to sedona We have and you have the grand canyon and you come out to sedona where you have trees and you have the red rocks And that air is so clean and crisp, but then I think after a while if you live here your body starts to get used to it this child. All right, y'all I'm gonna relax a little bit. I already started packing last night. Um Yeah, that's it
