 Hey you guys Have on clothes girl We're now at the end of August and it's getting very busy around the street We met with our really return the air now some JB. I'm on the phone. I was that on the phone met with the real estate agent Yesterday and we are going to officially put the house up for sale in two weeks Sorry you guys so Yeah, so we have next week they have one weekend to really clear stuff off my husband is off So we're gonna really do a focus on decluttering honey I'm gonna I'm gonna assign him assign him several rooms to declutter and for the staging of the house Well for taking pictures is okay. We move stuff around. She takes a picture moves stuff around takes a picture But one of the things we're gonna have to do for the open house. Of course, we can't be here So I want it to be Look the housing market is so crazy right now And those of you who have been selling or into that stop it JB selling or buying your house You know how it is so I'm gonna go to the storage unit and take out with me to the storage unit I'm gonna take out some of the bigger photos and put those back up, but the collages and all that taken down But Jack gonna see what it looks like when I stage what what I was trying to say the housing market is Totally off the chain sit back JB The housing market is to where my husband thought we have to have the house deep cleaned We don't have to do that. She's like, uh, no, just a nice clean. She said nowadays People will take it however, but we are gonna hire a cleaner Just do a my regular cleaner do a regular clean no deep cleaning and then like I said Stage it to where it looks like it's livable. All right taking this And Thank you, sweet pea This is a beautiful picture, but that has to go into the storage This storage unit creeps me out you guys Don't go down there So this is we're gonna be able to put my guest bedroom in here or our guest bedroom in here We don't have a lot. So I'm gonna get some of these pictures here You can film some but you can't do a lot baby because see it's already looking Hello you guys so we're in the middle of packing we have exactly Ten days to we're moving to the apartment Got a lot to do today. We have two weekends, which is good. I took all we're moving Labor Day week I took off a couple of days that week and Yeah, I'm gonna start packing up this guest bedroom, which is basically my woman Kay mama Kay and so I Think the biggest challenge is trying to determine how much stuff we really need to put in the storage and What could what could go into the apartment? I think in most of them this is gonna have to go into the storage a lot of JP stuff After going to storage and then yeah It is what it is baby We are a few days in this I've been packing off and on for two weeks, but you know what? The movers are scheduled to come in five days. I need to slow down like I had it in my head Oh my god I got to get all this house to get the house ready to get it together to get everything moved out But technically we have a good month until It's even sold so as long as we get the big furniture and stuff the movers out I can take my time getting the recipes little dishes and Even my personal stuff, you know what I mean? But my goal is to have it all moved out within two weeks, but I slowed down because I'm like, okay I don't have to rush. Yeah, sorry. I'm starting to watch Um America hard story season 10. I don't know what the hell of these things I don't know if they're vampire sea creatures girl. I don't know what the theme is this year, but it's weird as hell Anyway, y'all So we found a place to put JP in school I am super super excited when I tell you everything happens for a reason, baby everything happens for a reason but It's a lot and you know what I think we have to I'm gonna stop saying when people ask me how I do it I'm gonna really stop saying. Oh, I'm busy. I'm doing this and doing this Because I think that especially as a mom's too and that's busy working my even if you're not a mom I think oftentimes so we glamorize being busy and Having a lot to do. That's not cool. That is not cool. We need time to rest. Hey look even God rested He rested on a seven-day, right? So We got a fine time to rest and recharge and There's there's is that's actually helpful. So I'm gonna take the time I'm gonna kick it out the ball today as far as packing But I'm gonna rest tomorrow tomorrow's Friday because I literally had it on my to-do list to do something every day But tomorrow I'm not doing if I do something. It'll be be very small like putting jewelry in a jewelry box small Yeah, tomorrow I'm gonna rest because I've been putting it in but Yeah, the movers are coming next week And then the day after that the cleaners are coming and then two days after that That's gonna be photography, you know both professional photos time But as long as I said like I said as long as all the big stuff is out of the way. We're good Yeah, I'm all over the place. So I don't even know if I said it Well, you found a school for JB and like I said, you know everything happens for a reason glory to God so I Had it was on Facebook and I'm in a lot of different Facebook groups And so I'm in a particular group called black moms They could sell black moms for them and it was started by a woman out here And I forgot I was even in the group. I saw a I add or something not necessarily an ad I saw posting from Mid-August about their schools and I was like, I forgot all about that So when Colwood first hit the founder of this organization said, you know what it's time that we start Creating schools and a safe place for our children meaning black children children of color to feel comfortable So if you know at that time, I'm I had already had my mind said we were already home schooling. So whatever So I looked at it again, and I noticed that they're getting more and more people in they're getting resources They apparently have collaborated with right now, which I've heard of right now before Brenda, sorry print up P or E in the a There's a lot of wishy-washy stuff that was going on about Brenda because I think a lot of people were a little bit They speculated whether or not it's a real school and actually they get funding If you can get funding that means funding that means that you are a certify you you're teaching standardized curriculum, which they are Excuse me off. So anyway This sister who is an older woman. She's an older black woman. She's an advocate even she goes to a lot of the board meetings And all of that because like a lot of big cities Phoenix. I think Phoenix even more so than some places a Lot of people of color are moving here. But Phoenix still has a problem with Racial issues, especially if you move into areas that is predominantly white like my area I told y'all JV was the only black boy in in most of his Grayson and forget class in the grade. He was the only black boy in first grade That's a problem So he even told me, you know, a couple of months ago. He said I don't have any black friends. That's a problem I mean, seriously, it is that's a problem And I think there would be a problem if any race that you are but but especially in this day and age being a Black boy. Okay. So anyway He got into this school. I spoke with the director herself She let me know how they're getting getting additional funding The Micro school is inside of a school, which is cool. And so they can use their resources The classes are small They do K through second as one class and they put the third the three that eight graders in another classroom And like 10 15 kids. Yeah, so they're and they're feeling it really fast So the coordinator called me a couple of days ago She's like, well, which location are you thinking about? I'm like, wait a minute. Y'all got several locations Wow, that's amazing Because when I like I said last year they were just thinking about starting and she's like, oh, yeah We have several locations now and we we are More than likely the way that things are going they have multiple locations. They will be opening. So anyway Hey, hey, hey you guys do things look a little different. Yes We have officially moved into our temporary short-term lease apartment Girl, I'm not gonna complain cuz God is good and everything happens for a reason I'm just gonna give y'all quick overview of the apartment Mind you, we had this squeeze almost 2000 square foot of a house into a 1100 square foot apartment and a storage. So let's show y'all what everything looks like This is the kitchen Really nice, huh? Very modern look personally. This is not something I would typically This is not really my style, but it's beautiful a really big island here This island is big and our island and our And our house And so yeah, everything is here black stainless steel appliances. This is where we had to put our Sectional as you can see we don't have a dining room table in here. There's no way it would fit So this is the living room This leads to the bedroom. I'm not gonna go in there my husband asleep. It's one more voice is slow So yeah, I work over there in that corner. I put the office stuff in there and then in here we have The wash and dry is not gonna really go in there. Actually, let me go ahead and close the store girl Wash and dry is in here Back here, we have JB's bedroom. This is bigger than his room. So I had to put some extra furniture in here Um, yeah, I put a lot of my clothes in his bedroom. Excuse me, his bedroom closet This is the bathroom. Again, this is a bigger bathroom I do find that apartments have bigger bathrooms than houses depending on the square footage Yeah, this is a good size bathroom really nice countertops And again, we have I put a lot of my stuff in here a lot of my beauty stuff in here So girl, let me turn this camera around girl, if you got an uh, if your husband gets on your nerves like Let me let me adjust the sensor down on JB's bed. Hold on y'all So look y'all. I'm one of those weird weird random people. Look at my skin girl. Yes But I'm one of those weird random people that knows absolutely Factual Statistics that really don't mean it. You know, most people wouldn't know but one of the things I do know that moving There's certain life events that are extremely stressful Moving having a baby get married or one of the top three most stressful Actually moving can be so stressful. There have been couples that have broken up Over a big move over move and we're moving twice We're gonna try to move twice for this six months. Sit down, baby. Sit down. Look at these you booboo I know he's tired JB's been tired dealing with everything JB Are they here? Girl, let me go here. So quick run down They get still here, but that's okay Quick run down. We moved out of the house. God. What was it Tuesday? Okay We moved out of the house untouched it, right? Movers came at 945 Tell me why It took them nine hours $800 and the mover Was an older is two guys one guy was from brooklyn. They're both black one guy was from brooklyn the older one It's originally from sudana. He's probably He's probably pushing 60 So he's old and tired. He couldn't really So the younger guy pulled me to a side a couple of times and he was like This shouldn't take us this long ma'am. This shouldn't because he was a younger guy He said this should we could have been done by two o'clock. We didn't get down to seven Matter of fact, my husband I was getting frustrated because the older guy kept coming up to my husband I was like, can you take this apart and my husband said, what are we paying you for y'all? My husband said Typically a very cool collected person, but at one point he snapped at the guy When they moved stuff into the apartment, he snapped at him when he kept asking to come over It's so I told her I said honey, don't be mean to him. Don't don't be mean, you know, like it's It's stressful, but don't don't Girl so that happened In the middle of moving they tried to get that big old massage chair Which mean being a woman having a little bit idea of how things are visually My husband thought that we could fit almost everything in this apartment except the third bedroom, right? So in his head, okay, put the third bedroom meaning my room and the office and storage I was like, but you have that big massage chair. We have a huge dining room table and a sectional Then they're gonna fit in in this apartment, but he don't want to listen to me. So guess what happened Yes, the dining room table the the um Bedroom stuff had to go into storage and guess what's stuck in the house still because no one can get the damn thing out Oh, I'm sorry, baby the massage chair So now the drama is we had to push back the house cleaning Basically everything to put the house in the market Push back the photos because the massage chair is stuck at the front door It's not funny, but it is because you don't want to listen to me 150 pound massage chair. So right now I'm trying to find someone Well, we're trying to find somebody move this some size chair On top of that JB store at school Hey, man on monday this micro school. He's just going nine to two, baby Chuck Do you want to throw a princess you throw a princess peach down there all over my back But yeah, that's what's been going on. And so look at me y'all. I'm shining um girl I don't know what it is too because Typically, I don't get a lot of men hitting on me Which is good because I got time for it But baby when I tell you I'm kind of keeping low because my husband's store right there when I tell you lately like almost every day Your daddy's trying to talk almost every day I don't know if it's the beads.
