 So much fun. I'm sweating right now I've tried to record this intro now like three times of this part of the vlog girl. It's Friday It's Friday and I'm ready to jam That's a refugee. I'm ready to swing. I don't remember. I'm hungover We had such a good time last night I Was so excited to get these dank on drinks that I forgot to film it We went to one of our favorite restaurants where our date night restaurant and we ordered to go, right? So we got five margaritas Child only had two and a half and my husband had three and I was two and a half, too Um, excuse me on and I got a burger The fries were whack, but I think what it is is that there they switched to frozen fries Because they normally do fresh french fries, but I guess they figured We ordered no potatoes in this pandemic So that was okay because I mean my own potatoes here. I just trashed those and my husband got guacamole We got smoked wings. We ordered too much food, but we didn't know what it would be like because This is the first time this particular restaurants is doing to go But I know one thing They were a little bit disorganized. So hopefully they'll get it together But those drinks were well worth it. Yeah, we drove How far was it? We drove 20 minutes to get it. I don't know if to me that's okay, but it's in another city It's up in Scottsdale north Scottsdale actually, so it was so good And the drinks were very affordable six dollars for the margaritas. So we had a little dance party last night where y'all saw Me and JB my husband was dancing on the couch. He's so dang on lazy, but look at one point We lost a remote control girl. We I have an attitude about my son's curriculum They're doing history and they started off with I'm a we're not gonna talk about this a lot because because I have an attitude for I love they started off with talking about the third the foundations of the 13 count Calonies Oh Lord, I can't speak. Um, so basically this year In the middle of the core knowledge they were discussing The formation of this country So real quick meatless lunch for us just added some spinach for my husband for his dinner tonight at work Yeah, this stuff y'all cost less than ten bucks and honestly, we could stretch it even more I'm going through everything I have in my pantry. No need to go to the grocery store for another week or so. Hey y'all, I'm Scott Let my hair very close this door. I Got about five minutes. Let my hair kind of soak up in This thing of a gig I want to show y'all my hair completely naked I sometimes of course when I do product reviews, you see what my hair looks like we need with no product But it is Drying up pretty fast. I mean, this is what it looks like. This is what for tight looks like With no products or anything. I mean My hair is very soft Because I conditioned the hell out of it, but this is what it looks like, you know When I first went natural Like a lot of people I wasn't sure what to really do. I'll be talking one day my hair I wasn't sure what to really do as it got longer I One thing that I did notice with Some Women who first go natural. I didn't get all this product got my hair y'all. This is not good, but hey Yeah, you see this I still see conditioner There are some not all because there's so much information on YouTube that you really should have a regimen down but There are a couple of women who were like my hair just mats up all the time And I can literally look at it. This is what I remember one time I was walking in Walmart and There was a girl who was like you have such pretty hair and at the time I was wearing a twist out. She's like, how do you get your hair like that? I said, well, I twist up my hair Come on y'all. I need to get this part together and She's like well my hair would not look like that I said actually we have very similar textures and she kind of looked at me like she didn't believe me The problem was is that I could tell by looking at her hair. I could tell Oh, I don't know why she didn't know this, but hey, hold on y'all It's a little better. I could tell by looking at her hair that she literally put some product in her hair and Left it like this loose. We cannot do that at four tight. There is no Way I have to section off my hair now before it completely dries At product and leave it sections off She literally had no clue that This type of hair you really can't be wearing it loose like this. There's just no way So I'm gonna go ahead and add my leave-in conditioner I'm using the as-I-am Luxe line and I've seen I've done this really plenty of times But yeah, so often times people assume that you know I have a different I you know, I'm not for type This is for type not necessarily that I'm not for type, but I have quote-unquote good hair and I'm like It's not necessarily that I've taken good care of my hair and I know how to properly moisturize wash and I have a regimen down But I just thought about that when I was putting my hair away how that one girl hair was literally tangled And I don't have a lot of time now, but normally yes, yeah separate like this and and I further split my hair like that first with it like that and Then I add more More leave it on my hair will be so Dry like are you serious and then I will go in again And he tangled some more Now, I don't have a lot of time And I'm gonna go in with some oil And on the side y'all my edges. I need to be very careful I was talking to a couple of will buzz me really and tell her how I think my edges are kind of thinning so I need to be very careful with my hair cells and Jamaican black castor oil is what I'm going to be see you see this right here I know some me. I'm like what no seriously like It's not supposed to be that like that. Like I had hair right here at one point I have a lot of hair so I can hide it But I need to get it together what I'm trying to say is that I'm noticing that my edges are thinning up a bit So I'm not gonna be really tight here at the root make it loose And I know oftentimes you guys hear me say I don't like wearing my hair in my face Well, I'm gonna have to stop pulling it up so much. I do a lot of pull up Updo's styles Girl speak English. I wear a lot of styles where the front of my hair is pulled up out of my face I'm gonna have to start letting it hang down a little bit more cuz see I Don't know I can tell a difference. It's not a big difference But I can tell that I need to be a little bit more mindful of My edges All right in here look for the eggs You find an egg yeah, she found another egg Morning good morning and praise the Lord y'all who you know who say that she's a youtuber call I am because of you. I love her. She her and her husband wrote a book a couple of years ago It is a great testimony of a book But today is resurrection Sunday We are so blessed to be able to Alive and live it even if it's trying in times. I'm gonna read for you guys a It's from a devotion. It's a prayer But I think it relates to today and what's going on today. The prayers is a part of devotion about Yes, we are We're selling Brayton the fact that Christ has risen for us I'll let you go outside and pick them up in a minute, baby So let me read this for you guys because I think that somebody Needs to hear this message and again, this is devotion that I've been reading Dealing with anger and parenting Yes girl, I'm transparent about that, but I've been reading this prayer Often on for weeks now Because it really does highlight a lot of what's going on today And the devotion starts off with when you feel like when your life feels out of control And I know a lot of us feel that way right now. So let me get into this. Let me scroll all the way down It's gonna read the first half, okay Father you are the same yesterday today and forever I know that this time of transition is not a surprise to you and that you have allowed me to face these changes You are with me in the midst of uncertainty I know that in this chapter of my life what everything seems unsettled that you remain steady I need your help to feel secure and at peace in my circumstances simply because I am your child And you are my loving father. I don't want to be irritable or complain nor do I want to let my mouth roll my emotions Excuse me. I don't want to be irritable or complain nor do I want to let my emotions roll my heart and mouth same thing Give me more of your holy spirit in my life and help me to be unflattable Resilient and victorious. This is the thing. I'm gonna pause there We want to go we want this thing to be over with real fast a lot of us want to what if it's our purpose to go Through this so that we can be victorious at the end. Okay? Thank you for being my rock and my firm foundation in Jesus name a man a man a man a man If you receive that girls say a man a man y'all, so JV and I took communion this morning. We are good. We're gonna be doing a little Easter egg Wash your hands, baby. Um, I Wasn't sure if I wanted to do something. I'm really tired you guys. Okay, that's enough I'm really tired my husband and I were up until two o'clock this morning coughing It's dusty. It's dusty We're gonna pray about that. I need to clean the house really really good. I haven't been able we've been so busy It just hasn't been a priority I shouldn't say we you know, so anyway, I'm going to the house is clean But he needs to be dusted I'm gonna have to take that out baby. You're so silly So I am making Easter meal for two Gonna make coconut cake I didn't baby, but I think I could find some candles around the house. I think okay I'm making smothered wings Dressing that coconut cake like JV said for sides, of course dressing Corn and baby carrots. I couldn't find any collard greens. I couldn't find what I wanted So I have baby carrots in there. I have corn in there. I have ingredients to make dressing Of course, there's no fresh cranberries. So I'm just doing what I can look this is this is a time where we can't be picky Okay, I'm making most of what we have and that's the attitude you have to have this point So I got my new spring glasses on because um When I got a little lit the other night, I sat on my glasses and I broke my glasses I didn't break them, but they twist it. And so now yeah, I'm about to move glasses next month You big let's start on you dang glasses. They broke. All right, you know what you want to spank in this morning You want to eat you want to eat the whooping? You already see one I Don't know how many there are but you still got one more out here That's it. That's all the egg. Yep eight eggs There it is Already, I'm sorry, baby and sit down here and talk to y'all real quick if y'all This um and then let's kind of do something. This is what they look like up close y'all Y'all have to excuse me. We we trying to get it together a Lot has changed Excuse the background y'all hold on um a lot has changed. But first let me show you guys The face mask that I ordered from soak soak house So cow I'll put the link below now again. These are not a hundred percent effective Against the virus and my husband is stressing to me again. My husband is elite MT medical technologies anyway, so Again, he's stressing to me. Look the N95s or for people who are for medical staff because most Your everyday average person is going to cross contaminate these masks So he showed me how to wear them since everybody has their own Little so that we ain't using everyone else's mask I put everyone's cloth and they're in 95 masks in their own zip lock bag And so yeah, so let me It will get into him my husband He's like you need to be wearing gloves and a mask when you go out like I'm like, don't don't what is the problem? He's like you need to be wearing gloves and masks And so I we went back and forth. I'm like, but It's cross-contamination with the gloves. So he's you know, he's stressing don't touch your face He's like do not touch your face and wash your hands. That is it Don't touch anything in store meaning don't don't touch my girl I'm going my purse don't touch myself on don't touch my face and as soon as I'm done with the gloves Take them off Put them in a bag in my car use more anti-bacterial soap when I get home wash my hands when I'm done putting up all the groceries wash my hands um Actually, we're not even doing that. I did home delivery. I'm gonna get to the mask y'all I'm sorry. I did home delivery for the first time this morning Excuse me pick up for the first time this morning and he's like when you get your stuff disinfect everything And then put it up and wash your hands. So this is the mask I got from so Cal it is a hundred percent cloth This has a little this is a pouch for a filter Okay, now because I am crazy in OCD when I got them immediately I soaked them in hot water and just a little bit of bleach because it's Cotton and I air I Drive it on heat and then in the dryer and then I air dry them. So anyway enough of that you guys I'm the biggest change that has happened in our life and our home life is I was talking to my husband yesterday and I said look I'm on the list. I'm getting Emails and notifications about us getting into this other school for JB shit. We proceed with Going to this other school. He's like, no their vaccine the vaccine won't be ready for a while. He's like, no you He's I'm not even worried about the child. I'm worried about you meeting me because I have a weak immune system. So So I'm like, okay, so we just we have agreed to home school JB and so we are excited. I'm nervous. I'm a little jittery But y'all I already had even I've talked about this before I've already had things planned on the site Just in case I already started taking notes. And so yes, his main concern is JB interacting with other children I said, you know, I'm pretty sure there are there are gonna be a lot of kids that are Home schooling JB is FaceTiming with a child every two days. He's FaceTime I mean, yes, there's nothing like physical interaction with other children But he's FaceTiming with my nieces and nephews. He FaceTimes with his friends. They play games So he's interacting with other children weekly multiple times a week And I think as we as the curve lures for this virus that I will have him to interact with like like our neighbor kids our child children and Hopefully, you know, but we don't want to get this false sense of safety you guys because China is now seeing a resurgence of cases because they were like they sent their kids to school Like last month they started opening the schools the baby I saw videos and pictures of the children going to school a face mask So anyway with all that being said, we have agreed that Homeschooling until we feel comfortable with sending our child to school is the best decision for our family at this moment We're gonna finish off this quarter with the school. I would be notifying his teacher today I will actually see her in person today. We're gonna go buy the school To pick up some resources and so I would let her know in person And then you always have to look at the state laws and what's required And the only thing we have to do in Arizona is notify the state within 30 days of deciding to homeschool We will be doing what's called unschooling for the first few we're gonna continue with the quarter this quarter at his charter school We're gonna be doing what's called unschooling over the summer I'm not gonna push it basically on school schooling is student driven. Whatever he wants to learn He we will be doing reading writing and some math daily, but again, that would be driven by him I will lay out not a lot because too much will overwhelm them, especially my child I will lay out several little books around and then he could determine what he wants to learn Because yesterday was funny yesterday we spent quite a bit of time on history means we are reading a book based out of Kenya and She some of the vocabulary words was like I believe Baron was one earnings seedling excuse the light y'all seedling and Village and this teacher said most of Africa They have villages as opposed to cities that we have here. I Poused it right there cuz I didn't have I didn't have a time I didn't have a chance this time to look at the curriculum before I introduced it to him So I paused it. I said this is not true. And so I pulled up South Africa I pulled up Ghana pulls up easy places in Ethiopia artists all by I pulled up major cities in Africa and showed my child different countries in Africa. I said these are the cities They yeah, there's absolutely there are villages there and there are villages in South America. So Yeah Let me calm down. So let me let me inform you guys of what we are doing And I'm still deciding like I'm gonna take this entire summer to decide on the curriculum I know for sure. It would not be an everyday most people who homeschool unless they have multiple kids It is not every day For us I want to ideally do four days out of the week minimum three hours definitely reading writing and Math on those days And so I have a couple of notes here and I will be putting as much information as possible And I think the biggest besides interacting with other people's socialization in other words I think a lot of parents think they don't have patience. Well We're gonna be praying about that that was my that's one of my big hang-ups too is having patience But having to do this at home and now I'm developing patience and I'm praying about it every day I'm thanking God and I'm praying for it and I'm praying that he will help us through this through this transition so Choosing a curriculum is so overwhelming when I tell you I mean For those you don't know there are public schools that are online public I think one of them is at least here in Arizona Arizona connections Academy connections I reached out to them for a while to see what they had available. I Think it would be too overwhelming for my child I have well over two hundred dollars of books sitting in my Amazon cart So I'm kind of leaning towards the time for learning Because that is a platform that JB is used to and I told him if it if he if he's not feeling that then we will switch to The good and beautiful where I'll have to purchase the books and all that and yes you guys that is what we're going to be doing I would be creating a planning schedule a booklet all of that I will be sure and look this is new for me, but I will be sharing all of that I will be also having my husband Involved in teaching the science part because that's what he does science and chemistry Of course, I'll have my husband teach that we're not ready for chemistry chemistry is later on But my husband my husband will be responsible for anything science. Okay, and so this is a team effort You know and this is not to say that we won't consider putting JB back in a charter school or even public school later But as things are going right now right now, it's to know so y'all pray for me that I'll get this together Hi, baby And I'm going to be purchasing some more Yes, and I'm going to be purchasing some more bookcases from IKEA to get everything organized because at this point By the time I'm done getting everything from homeschooling. I'm gonna have at least 200 books You know that's personal stuff, you know fiction and nonfiction, so I need to get organized I'm getting a homeschooling cart another one. I already have two, but that's mostly for storing the Everything and of course, I'm purchasing a printer And yeah, we're excited. So let me let's ask this one. So, how are you? What do you think about homeschool? What do you think about homeschooling? What are you most excited to learn? History so Technology so ours will our Whatever curriculum would decide to go with whether or not it be we would definitely I think Okay, I would more than likely you will start with the time for learning, but we will supplement with Our own history and technology Based so we will be we will be starting with African history first. Yeah We will be starting with African history first, and then slowly transition basically world history All right, baby, let's say bye to them, okay Let's smile. Let's do a thumbnail Bye you guys say bye, Tonka. Bye
