Hurricane Weekend
A brief glimpse into my weekend:
Restless kids
No school today boys.
No school! No school! Yay!
Can we go to the park?
No, there’s a storm coming.
When?
Later.
Is it still coming Mommy?
Yes.
When?
Later.
I wanna go to the beach. Can we go Mommy?
No, I told you there’s a storm coming.
When?
Later.
I wanna watch TV.
Can’t. The power is out.
So, what are we gonna do?
Uh, get your coloring book.
I don’t know where the crayons is, Mommy.
Where the crayons, ARE!
Can’t find them. None of them.
Well sit right here with me. This is a boat. And if you step off the boat the sharks will eat you.
~Looks at me with a puzzled expression~ This is a boat?
Yes.
No, this not a boat. This a couch and no sharks on the floor, Mommy.
Man…
Ok, well then look out the window and tell me when the storm gets here.
OK. Hey.. Is that it? Behind the tree? Is that the storm?
No.
Is the storm gonna get us?
Only if you act up.
No power, no internet. Feeling the blues.. INSIDE MY BRAIN…
I wish this doggone thing would hurry up and come through.
Everybody text messaging me asking me if I’m alright but I’m just mad cuz I can’t write.
I have a hundred stories in my head to tell, but not one of them can be recorded cuz there’s no power. Let me think about my life… Uh, no, that will make me feel bad, let me think about Racole’s life. Yeah, she’s doing her thing in Cali. Gonna be out of there in 4 years with a JD and an MBA. Gotta make sure she gets a good job, just in case I need a sponsor. Dang girl, that’s messed up. When we lived on the same block, we hardly ever spoke to each other. Now that she’s in Cali, we speak everyday. I guess we took our close proximity for granted.
What’s Ruby up to? Girl, know she be wilding out. Very friendly chick. Dresses cute. I wonder what she’s been buying up in Atlanta. I think Ruby is the prettiest chick I know next to me ofcourse. Ofcourse, I’m biased cuz I think dark-skinned women are more exotic looking. Her teeth look fake though. I never seen teeth so big and shiny and straight.
Man.. I can’t believe I got arrested. It was one of the lowest points of my life, if not THE lowest. Imagine that craziness. I’m 8 months pregnant, fight with my baby daddy and I go to jail over that. And I didn’t even get a good hit in. If I knew I was gonna go to jail, I should popped him with a frying pan or something. Never went to court. Never got charged. Just took some classes and I thought it was over. I guess it’s not…
What the hell is wrong with me? I’m the only person I know with so much drama in my life. I’m the only chick I know with two kids. Heck, most of my friends don’t have ANY kids at all. Dang.. why when you sit down to think about your life, those messed up situations come to mind first?
Think Happy Thoughts. Happy Thoughts…
Like, the time I went to Tampa last year, he, he for Thanksgiving break. He, he! Whoo- hooo! Naw, I ain’t telling that story. He, he, he… What’s up Daniel?
I always smile when..I pick my sons up from school in the afternoon. They RUN to me and hug me and I know they miss me. That’s love right there.
Ooh- I had this wonderful dream last night. Starring me and Will Smith.
He came to see me late at night. Tired from a hard day’s work. I told him to lie down and to be quiet so he wouldn’t wake the kids. He obliged. I sat there watching him sleep, wondering how lil ‘ol me could steal him away from Jada so easily. But, I guess, if you got it, you got it and why question fate?
We woke up and he told me he had to go. I encouraged him to make a difference with his celebrity status. I gave him a speech about uplifting others and making positive choices. He leaned over and told me to give him a kiss. Since I’m so shy I tried to kiss him on the cheek but he turned his head and we kissed for real. I still remember the warmth of that kiss. ~sigh. Twas a beautiful thing.
That’s as close as I’ve been to some action in a minute. I guess that’s a good thing.
No problems with the storm so far. I hope it stays that way.
