Well hello all you folks out there in cyberspace! I am back for a brief post since its been a while. A little of what's been going on in my world...

Turned hubby on to blogging and he's taken off! I've been doing this off and on for almost, what, 2 years? Haven't had more than 5 people read this thing a week - he's getting, like, hundreds of hits and just started. LOL. And please don't take this as some jealous gripe - my hubby excels at damn near everything he does - so that was to be expected! He's the man! As my teen and pre-teen nieces and nephew said when he blessed them with Lil Wayne bags, Ashanti tee shirts and cd's galore.

The baby's eyebrows are growing back nicely. Still not to their full natural glory but well on their way. We're working on the self-esteem thing and how to respond to haters.

She, by the way, is having a glorious summer. Spent a few weeks with the biological - nearly 2 weeks of him all up in her face all day every day! The thought of which, makes me nauseous and woozy...Then she started summer camp, where she is going to 3 different amusement parks, swimming, kickball, crafts and games out the wazoo. Ah, to be a kid again!

My little business is on haitus - a much needed break before I dive headfirst into Christmas. Yes, christmas!

On the homefront, all is great. I came home one day last week and my husband had made dinner! I was so pleased since the carpool driver was on vacation and I had endured a grueling ride home on the Metro. I can say this as well, we are celebrating 6 years of marriage, and I honestly love my husband more than the day I married him. Corny I know, but the God's honest truth. He continues to amaze me with the little stuff. The dinner. The "you should do that since you never do that" attitude. The way he does stuff even though I know he doesn't always want to - shopping and the like...I could go on and on but I'm guessing you get the picture.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...I lead a blessed life.

Not that it's void of daily drama's...after all, I got a baby momma AND a baby daddy to contend with. Time enough for that later, I'm not trying to ruin my happy little rantings! But do be on the lookout for the next post called "Daddy Was A Rolling Stone..." LOL

SOMEONE'S BEEN DRINKING THE HATER-ADE...

So hubby and I jetted off to Los Angeles and Las Vegas for our semi-annual get-the-hell-away-from-the-kids excursion and had a grande old time. The 72 degree weather at 7am was very nice. It did get HOT during the day, but dry heat and then it was crazy breezy. Then of course, I come home and am in the midst of a heatwave. Nothing sucks more than a DC summer with unbelievable humidity. Mother Nature is no joke.

So while sitting at the Daily Grill across from the Burbank Airport, I call home. Its about 8pm East Coast time, so i figure I'd check in on the little one and let her know I'd be home the next day.

WHY DID I HAVE TO RUIN THE SURPRISE?

My Mom says, just like a Grandmother would, "OH! She's just been perfect...well...just one, little incident...but other than that...PERFECT! Just an angel!!!"

I'm like, well what little incident are we talking about?

She proceeds to tell me that the child, 9 years old, has taken the liberty of: get this, shaving her eyebrows!

*COMMENCE LAUGHTER*

Done yet?

No?! - okay....we'll wait!

Finished? Okey dokey....so on with the story:

My mom says that the child went into her bathroom to take her shower, closed the door and then yelled, "Grandma - my eyebrows are coming off in the shower!!"

Grandma goes to investigate and low and behold all the evidence that she took Grandpa's razor to her face is lying on the sink. Grandma says, "No they aren't...you shaved them off".

I laugh when telling this story since it proves one damn thing I've been saying all along: the child is a horrible liar. She can't lie for shit! And yes, this proves to be a good and bad thing. But as I tell the child, "your not a very good liar, i think you should stick to the truth!"

Anyhow - a 5th grade girl told MY baby that she was ugly and that the ugliest thing about her was her eyebrows. And that is what prompted my child to go all Freddie Kruger on her face.

Obviously, there are issues on both sides here. Won't get into them all - don't have that kind of time or energy. But yes, after the incidents that have happened at her school this year - I'm feeling like these GD kids are out of their GD minds!

Parents, lets be honest with ourselves: hate breeds more hate. If you're the suck your teeth - "she think she cute" - kind when you see someone who looks better/dresses better, than what do you expect your little girl will do when she sees a pretty little girl who looks better/dresses better than she does?
