 Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, you guys. Hold on y'all. Sorry. I'm in the office. It's Friday. It's Friday. And I'm ready to swing. The computers are glaring in my face. So you guys, I get, I got up a little late today. It was still before six, but it was a little late. Normally, lately, I've been getting up between 4.30 and 5. Don't worry. I'm still getting my sleep. I go to bed around nine. So that still gives me like seven hours to sleep. Jamie's out of school, so there's nothing I need to be mindful of. These guys, I saw, I show you on the table, at least I think I did on the dining room table. Look, we try to keep our dining room table clean of stuff. Even when we're in the house, like half of it may have had stuff in it. But since we have that little board area up there, that's why I keep some paper and stuff. So try to keep this area clean, especially since you see this as soon as you walk into the house. But with that being said, I need to return that wireless, excuse me, return that phone. Speaking of the phone, somehow my brand new iPhone cracked. So I need to have the screen replaced, like probably next week, I'll get it done next week. Our bed, my husband and I, we need to take off the, we have a king size bed. We need to look up underneath and make sure that we can put that board back, the middle board and make sure it's secure. But if we can't do that, I'm going to go to Lowe's and get some wood just to reinforce it. Same thing I did with JB's bed, reinforced bed with wood paneling. That's it. And you just put it down there, then you put the box screen on it, and then you place the mattress. So your girl can do stuff like that. So yeah, that's it. Just trying to keep about JB was up. Just want to make sure to keep JB entertained so he don't be interrupted me with my meetings. But thankfully my husband doesn't start like I say that now. My eyes dark. My eyes look dark. My eyes are dark underneath, aren't they? Oh my God, they're really dark. Maybe I should be getting seven, eight hours of sleep. Anyway, this is going to be interesting once my husband starts to go into work because right now he has been picking JB up from school. And JB school is about a good 15, 20 minutes away. So I have, because I have meetings and I'm still working. School would be out here, we're in the end running of school. And so I only have to deal with this for two months. And my husband contract job ends after two months. Good, he me, he me. Yeah, he me worse than. But anyway, yeah, that's just all I have going on. And then y'all would go with me to Longview tomorrow. I already told my mama that we want to visit one sister. Last time y'all, we were so tired when we got back. We visited how many people that we visited three, six, three people, three family members. But at each household, there's multiple family members. Sometimes people just stop by. Sometimes people are there. And where I'm from in the country, put it like this, I want to go visit my uncle and aunt. She's she's my uncle is my dad's brother. So but her, her, her nephew came by precious. But we all are so intertwined that we still consider him my cousin, even though he's my aunt's nephew, decent, I'm saying like precious, precious is my cousin, too. Because baby, look, let me pull this up. Child, we log on to these computers. It's kind of slow at my main job today, y'all, which is good. Y'all, I'm gonna talk to y'all. Let me turn the slide on so y'all can see me. That's better, huh? Um, y'all, my morning, my early morning, baby, all that this morning when I have to do it, let me tell y'all what happens. And I have a meeting in like 25 minutes and I need to look at a another meeting. Um, went to Walmart this morning because I'm like, ooh, you know, I was gonna make, I was trying to figure out what I'm gonna make on Friday. Friday's we typically order in one and baby. So I bought all this stuff at Walmart. I accidentally left my phone at home. I know I'm talking loud, but look, I accidentally left my phone at home, right? And at first I was like, oh my God, I need to go get my phone because I really monitor my work email and just stuff going on through my phone. Like a lot of us do, right? So I said, oh my God, let me go back and get my phone. Y'all, I'm looking at the wrong area. Let me go back and get my phone. I said, you know what, no, I'm not gonna do that. I don't, I'm not gonna want any interruptions. So I'll go ahead and take my fluffy butt to Walmart. JB's with me because JB is high school off today, right? Taking my time. I get home about, it was around 9 20. I'm checking my work email and make sure everything goes okay. There's nothing really going crazy. I get a text message. I have a text message from his teacher and she's like, hi, just calling, just checking to see if JB's okay. I noticed, you know, he's missing from today. I'm like, holiday. No, no, no. I thought today was like a school day off. And she wrote a text. She's like, yeah, our calendar is wrong. And we sent that in the email. And you know, the holiday is, you're off for next weekend, next Friday. I said, JB, go put on your uniform. He said, mom, it's Friday. That's worth it. He got on like an old blockbuster video shirt and some stuff. I said, JB, pack some fringles and an orange. And I fixed this for y'all. I packed them a little ones real quick. I texted her. She started laughing. I said, I will be there. I'm on my way because this is a good thing because I was worried what I would do with him. Because since I have meetings later on, I have two meetings back to back later on. And he starts to get a little antsy in the evening time. Y'all, I'm worried it's for the meeting and chow. So I'm mad. So that's why I got the Margarita mix. Now, Farni Kaufman County, I believe is what's called wet. No, damp. I'm trying to figure out the terminology when it comes to whether or not they serve. There's no hard liquor here. You cannot buy tequila off the top. It's in a mix. But you just can't buy tequila. You can't buy, they don't even sell it at all. You can't buy it here in Kaufman County, which is okay because we don't even drink hard liquor like that. But baby, today I said, I'm going to need some little hard. So I got one of those Ritzy Ditzy Margarita mix to go with our chicken salad or excuse me, our chicken meal later on tonight. I'll show y'all what it looks like because this is knocking me off because that threw me off because it takes about today. It took about 45 minutes to an hour to get to school because since it's a geopsiness, this is a two-lane road, we were behind this truck going 30 miles per hour. I am done for the day with working. What time is it? I need to find my watch. 3 o'clock. I've already, I've already, yeah, that's my, baby, look, one of my, one of my meetings I was just, I'm not going to be able to share too much, but I'm literally, it amazes me how common sense is just not common these days. Common sense is not common. And both, both of the, the positions that I work in, I come in with a level of, I don't want to say that, I come in with open-mindedness. But then when I start to hear the things that people do, I'm very frank with the people who, with the people I report to, with the people I directly work with, like I just told one of the women, I said, these people about to buy, drive me that shit crazy. And she said, you have no idea, reading. Child. Anyway, let me go ahead and prepare this chicken. I'm going to be marinating the chicken and buttermilk for at least, what time is it? An hour. Now we have an hour to do it. It'll be marinating for an hour. The longer, the better. And buttermilk just tenderizes the meat. I want JB to help me because I bought this mallet. He called it a weapon. He said, mama, this is a weapon. I said, yeah, you're going to weaponize this meat. I bought him this little thing you guys here. So cute. My husband went to go pick up JB by himself because I'm like, y'all have time together. Plus this gives me a, this is the only time I have by myself is when he go pick him up. And this gives me 40 minutes by myself. Leave me alone. I don't want to hear y'all. Bye. All right, y'all. This is my chicken that I've tenderized. I'm going to pour buttermilk on top. That's enough because I'm going to reserve the rest of this buttermilk. I have a recipe that I saw that I'm going to use buttermilk with on top of drumsticks. Put it in the oven with a little bit of butter, bunch of seasonings. This is just hot sauce. I'm going to put foil paper on top of this and let it sit in the refrigerator and soak it up for a good hour. Okay. Hey, y'all. I wanted to show you footage of East Texas. This is far East Texas. And a lot of people assume that Texas in general is especially Southwest Texas is very desert and there's no trees. East Texas is totally different because we are only about 60 miles away from Shreveport, Louisiana. So it's a very far, a very dense forest area woods. So a lot of people from Dallas consider us to be from the sticks. So it's a beautiful country though, excuse me, beautiful land. So anyway, we're headed to my parents' house here. Ask them to let you play with. Ask them to let you play with it. Hey, JB. JB. JB. I don't need to use this. I don't need to use this right there. Hi. Say right here. What's your name? My name is Bunny. And this is my 80s, Vivian. We call her a Vivian, but her name is Vivian. My name is Vivian, but you call me Big. He's so cute. In a minute. Okay. Are you going to shake the shake, please? No, you should. Okay. Four, five, six, seven, eight. Okay. Ready? Go. Oh, I got it. I got it. Okay. Y'all see the cone? He's saying that. Oh, yeah. Okay. Y'all see the cone? Okay. Y'all got to run back and forth. Whoever wins, get the, you pick up the balloon, the, the bubbles, and you blow it. Blow it all up. Right here. We go right here. Now you're going to go over here. Yeah. Let me see you. Oh, me. That's true. Do you know this? Yeah. The time they're going to lay back down before your other team. Take your time. Okay. Now your other team, your other team may come and run.
