 Yeah, it is Sunday made my way all the way out to downtown Phoenix for this church What is I? Had to leave I couldn't even like The church first of all the church is right on the edge of an a of an extremely busy road It's downtown Phoenix MacDowell and 24th Street. Those of you who are familiar with the Phoenix area And It's just JB and I'm a husband is at work He typically works in the weekend 75% of the time So I have to be cautious of my child and our safety because it's just it's just us. So it's in a very That I look miss Jack is his country. I'm from the country hood But I don't live in that type of an environment anymore. There's a police officer out there directing traffic I'm like where is track where is parking? He's like, oh, you can park either across the road on the side of the street I'm not gonna park on the side of the street y'all. I got stuff. I got stuff in my car and I mean what I mean hood what I mean by hood is that There's literally what's a pile of mattresses Within visual distance of the church parking lot like people just Basically throwing out trash in the middle of the road. I cannot do it I Could do it by myself. Let me react correction. I could do it by myself But as a first-time visitor, I probably should have came up here by myself I'm not gonna be able to do it. Yeah, my gut instinct is telling me no I've come to the point in my life to where I listen to my gut instinct without judgment. Okay, but safety comes first Yeah, this is the church right over here down over here The people are parking over here. We can't walk all the way or So this is the church down. This is the church right here. There's no parking Child look we are home home home My husband is you just something with his look my stuff is all gone. Um Y'all that dang on chicken and pancakes was uh 40 almost $50 a Plate up hand cakes and that soul food platter and our drinks was $47 It was good though, it was good. I had enough leftover and let me eat it I also got a dessert so but still forty seven I got some red velvet cake home. They're known for the red velvet cake This is my third time going to Lola chicken and waffle the first time I went I wasn't impressed And it was downtown Phoenix. I was not impressed matter went last year doing a Doing a brunch, excuse me, and it was good. It was real good. Try to go a couple of weeks ago I actually tried to go last year. Yeah, remember we tried to go there last year an hour wait. So today As soon as I saw the church stuff, which by the way, y'all, I'm glad I listened to my instincts because driving I've never driven in that area before a Phoenix or I would have known better Drive a little bit past the church. I saw gang Signs or what do you call it? people basically gang gangs basically work in the territory and the The city is not gonna do anything about Because normally they paint over if they're not gonna do anything because they don't care about that area. They really don't so Child they were marking everything. I'm like, there is a church man But now like I said the church got good ratings and I'm probably gonna have to go there by myself But not with the baby. But anyway, y'all um the food was good Food was good even though it's $50 for a piece of chicken and stuff I didn't really care up for the rice and the gravy the gravy was like orange. I'm not gonna talk about gravy Is this I'm used to brown brown or wet white gravy. Don't give me no orange so they started on JV's room in the guest bedroom yesterday and We had no other choice to have JV to sleep in the bed with us Child First of all y'all my husband has a ritual before he goes to bed, which is annoying as hell He's literally in a gargling with water washing his teeth Like I kid you know, it's like a 10 to 15 minute ritual for him to get ready for bed I don't know what he's doing. He ain't doing nothing with he ain't got no skin routine Like why are you taking so it wakes me up at least I'm used to it But still at least two to three days out of the week. It wakes me up. I saw of course it woke JV up This was like around midnight. It woke JV up. He was up. He was trying his best to rock himself back to sleep Sleeping in the middle of us. My husband was frustrated. He's like can he sleep on the side? I dragged JV out of the room. We have to go we went to go sleep on the couch He fell asleep. I fell asleep for a good two hours. JV woke up at two o'clock You know moving around And I've been up since then Been up since two childs So the painters came at eight and they've been doing a good job But I told my husband I said look I did not get any sleep I know that if I'm gonna be here JV can't sleep with with us in the bed again I'm not gonna sleep on this couch again. I'm gonna find myself a hotel room with two beds So both of the both of us can get a good night's sleep. And so I invited my husband up here I'm gonna give you want to come up here. You can And he's like no, it's okay because he's bougie you guys. This is um, we're at The sleep in which is the equivalent to an to a comfort in So because it's not a Hilton or a Hampton girl.

Hold on y'all. Is that better? Maybe maybe not. I think that's a little better Anyway, first of all last night Jaby loves hotels. I mean one little kid doesn't like to sleep somewhere that's new and excited. That's exciting for them So he calls my husband last night giving him a tour of the room child And my husband being as petty as he is I can tell that he didn't want us to come up here He is so dang gone passive aggressive. He didn't really want us to come up here Uh, just because he didn't think it was it was worth us coming up here, but it was worth it Given that I was able to sleep But anyway, he's giving me um my husband a tour, you know, basically He's like there's a mommy at her bed. I got my own bed and um, there's there's a bathroom But there ain't no bathtub. It's on my husband's like, oh, so basically y'all in a shack Hey, jay was like, we ain't even know shack. I thought that was funny. So Um, it's so funny. Christine just sent me a message. Christine is my friend and coworker. Yeah She's like, did you go to the hotel last night? I'm like girl I'm still at the hotel and matter of fact, I'm not leaving her to noon. She's I don't blame you y'all my house is a disaster. I cannot The type of work I do I need to have at least three hours of uninterrupted because right now I'm in the middle of materials management And creating courses and if I'm getting interrupted That can throw me off So I need the three hours of straight work, right? So anyway, this morning got JB his lunch or whatever my husband gets up Um, and I let him know I'll be back at noon Yes, yes, uh And um, I'm gonna vacuum y'all. I'm really particular about how things there's a old things have to have an order in the house Now I'm not I'm not that OCD or clean all the time But there's a place where things go and because they've been in there and they had plastic down Um, me personally I need to vacuum in there before I put anything on that floor All right, let me hush up get some work down. Like I said um Real quick, uh ronda was telling me ronda is another youtuber who is out who is out here in phoenix. She's originally from Louisiana Um, I feel like um, I call ronda and my head girl. You're my cousin. You're my cousin girl We have a lot in common, but I think a lot of people especially The sister states, you know, texas and louisiana people there tend to have things to come and especially since i'm from east texas Y'all, which is only 30 minutes away from tree port 30 40 minutes away Excuse me So she was saying how Um, her old manager was hard on her Well, she was surprised that she got an award a mvp award at her job and her job is new Well, it's not new but it's a new new type of role for her and she was surprised because Her previous manager was very hard on her and she didn't know if she liked her or not Girl, I can so relate to you. I don't really talk about my job that much on my channel Because just because I just don't now mind you I'm gonna be careful how I say this I request it to be moved Because my previous manager Was on some bullshit. I don't know. Yeah, I already broke my my rule for trying not to curse. He was really on some fooling you guys if I It was it was An issue of where I went to hr due to some things that he has said um So after a while, I felt the need that I didn't feel comfortable being under him And so I requested from hr to be moved to another person And of course they moved me to the only other black person in the I shouldn't say that so Let me get to the point. She was on my ass And I knew that she liked me Not like like like me, but I put it like this. I knew that she didn't dislike me. Okay But and I would go to christine and complain about I'm like, I don't know why she's always demanding this stuff from me And finally she let it slip last year my manager. She said, you know vivian I want you I want you to win. I want you to be promoted You are basically compete against all these other people and we have For a promotion because they only hand out so many promotions in the department not just 19 Meaning the learning services team, which is about a hundred people We're talking about the entire academy within this company that has like I don't know how many people were part. Yeah, it's a lot of people. I work for a huge corporation So within our small department I'm competing to get 300 400 people and they give out maybe 10 promotions a quarter So She was that's what she was doing. She was trying to push me to do the to To basically do better and elevate myself and I was for the moment because I was like, I don't know what else I could do I rewritten my so peas. I've offered up suggestions and so I think Uh With what occurred at the beginning of this year and some things that occurred last year what I did And at that point, I just I was giving up. I I didn't necessarily give up. I just was like, okay It's out of my hands. I've done everything that I could do for three years straight And we're talking about quarter after quarter like I don't even know if I'm ever gonna get a promotion But it came through So anyway, y'all I'm yapping away. Um Um Oh, this is good The breakfast down there with an it was okay. I had thankfully I had packed JB some cereal So he ate his cereal. I got something at home. No, excuse me. I got something from Starbucks. Um Hey, y'all after I've been eating out a lot and the house, you know between the Texas trip Literally only had a week or so break off and then now with the house house, you know house being painted My meals have been all over the place. No needless to say so next week I'm gonna have to pick one or two days where I eat fairly clean drink a lot of water And then get back on intermittent fasting. Um, now when I intermittent fasting, I just skip breakfast I skip breakfast and I make sure that I eat. Um dinner before five o'clock. That's all I do very simple All right, y'all. This is what our bedroom is looking like. Ciao It's almost like because everything has to be cleared. It's almost like we're moving into a house, but not a hundred percent um They had to put drop costs everywhere to protect the floors all over Can't even see that Um, the reason why it's taking so long y'all is that we are having everything painted baseboard doors even the ceiling so walls All right, y'all. It's early in the morning here. Like 5 30 the house painting is officially done And let me show y'all my husband can't see we we know why he he has cataracts problem, but this is a very Light color, but you can tell that the walls are painted because look at the baseboard the baseboards are white This is a very light light. Um, I don't even know it like I like the egg show I don't know their official name girl. My husband was like, I can't even tell the walls are painted I'm like, if you if you don't look down at that white baseboard and look at the wall You can see the difference. So this is what the open areas is painted. All right. Yeah, I have to excuse the coffee Hold on. Let me get my coffee together Um Yeah, they finished up yesterday Pretty early because they had a lot of people here girl. I'm gonna have to sage down my house No, they were pretty good. I could tell they they had good spirits, you know, I'm an empath so I can fill people energy like seriously and so seriously and They were very first of all, they were older gentlemen at least two of them were the older old enough to be my father So they had a very warm caring energy about them Anyway, um So they finished up yesterday, right and I'm gonna show you the other color Hold on before I start talking. So yeah, there's a difference in the entire open area Anything that's open in that, you know, what you can see Is this light color and let me show you what the darker color looks like All right. So anything that's behind closed doors is this darker color the closets Our bedrooms the bathrooms. So what I've done I went to the dollar store and bought me some or bought some what do you call it shelf liners for This area and for the closet from where my shoes are at. But y'all I've used those dollar tree I don't even know what I did with the stuff. Let me get out of here. I've used those dollar tree liners before and They didn't last long. So I went ahead and purchased some more through wafer, right? But one thing I did get y'all JB school had some furniture Just out for free. So I'm like, you know, but I'm gonna refurbish this chair for my shoe room So instead of this stool, I'm gonna use this chair. I'll just give JB the stool Girl, I got them clothes just uh This is JB mama channel. It's mama channel I know we made a new channel today. No, we didn't make no new channel.

It's done girl So, um, guess y'all saw painting has It's done and girl. Oh, look, I'm not breaking my back putting all this stuff together. Um, the JB's room Well I would have to say the room I'm in the sheet room is the room that's all the way fully put together I mean everything's back here pictures and hung up all of that I decided to attack this Project room by room instead of the whole house room by room and break it up over the course of a week Because y'all have to understand it decorating my house and putting up the pictures. That's something I did before I had a child Um and I demanded that husband. He's not demanding sometimes he a big girl Um, that was before basically I was doing all that in stages. So What's the point girl? I'm taking my time like the sheet room is done I'm gonna give y'all a quick pan of this, but this is gonna be a separate It's gonna be a separate video uh because I I started recording and putting together footage Of my actual room back in February actually so things may seem out of order, but it's because it's from a long time ago um Everything is pretty much put in its place. There's still some things, you know in different areas The only thing that's not done is my closet. I started putting up some clothes and all that Thank god. I don't have to go into an office. My husband's getting my damn Yeah, let me tell y'all how my husband is and watch out. I think that we're in a bad spot in our in our marriage I'm giving you I'm laughing because Sometimes I see couples on youtube and they're all lovey-dovey and hug up and a lot of the times these couples are younger And it's not to say you can't be older and be in that spot. Absolutely But let me tell you something most of the time when you get married and if you're not married and marry people Please comment below. I would say 70 of the time your spouse is going to get on your damn nerves And that's just the way it is, you know, um But I love him more than I hate him girl. Now, let me tell you about this ninja. So He went one night. So one night he spent the night in here We both did we had to because there was no room and then there was a couple of nights JB and I went in the hotel Right. Well, when we got back from the hotel, we had to stay in the guest bedroom and it's hot back here This is the hottest room in the house, right? It's been hot for the past 10 years So how was it now that he now all of a sudden he's complaining about it because He was back here sleeping sleeping. You see how he is? So all of a sudden I hear in the background talking to someone and then he nonchalantly says this was on Friday no, no Thursday or Friday Friday Friday morning. He's like, um, we're gonna have somebody to come by on saturday to give us a quote Because it's too hot back here. I said, I know that it's been hot back here for the past 10 years He's like, well, it's too hot. We need to do something about this So anyway, girl had someone to come out on saturday and they put 10 they 10 at the windows Which is good just in time for my sheet room, which I'm going to show you in a minute 10 at the windows, right? and uh Girl, what's the point?
