Beauty, Hair, Style // Intellitec College "Cosmetology" v.01

Yes, that's right. It is 6:22 and I had a wild hair up my ass to ACTUALLY prepare myself to start blogging soon (aka - modifying my blog) and trying to put up a post before I arrive at Intellitec College for their Cosmetology Program. I could be getting ready, but why do that when you are super excited and feel its literally the best thing you ever thought about doing for your family?

I know for me, its better than the hell that we spent the past year or so since the last I updated this blog. For real, if you want to step inside my shoes and almost loose your home, lost your car and could have been homeless, be my guest. But it seems like someone above (I'd rather say my grandmother, HEY Maw-Maw! I appreciated the rainbow, rain, sleet and snow you gave me to let me know you are still here for us - could have made it without the weird weather though because I know you're there) because as soon as it turned 2014, it was like my whole perspective on things turned around and we ended up getting a new car and moved into a new home after having our second son (Hello Saturn! and double-wide trailer - don't hate!). Did you really read that?

                     A SECOND SON!

Anyways, ahem.. more on that later because I need to get back to the story I was going to tell. OH yeah, cosmetology. So here is the thing, I need to get ready but I wanted to keep everyone posted and to let them know that I am back and ready to attack. Thanks @IISuperwomanII & @JadahDoll, I owe you one!

Can I say that I am super excited for starting because of this very video and this is literally my first day back in college. Wish me luck..I'll need it with all those personalities! I feel like I'll be working with drag queens..(just kidding, but that'd be awesome).

In Celebration // Martin Luther King, Jr. v. 01

In honor of one of my main men, Mr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I figured I would serve some MLK realness to show you his real sense of humor. Do you feel me?

Wine & Dine // All For The Animals v. 01

In approximately 17 days (or two weeks and 3 days if you want to get super technical), our Harley Quinn will turn one years old. No more puppy days for her and especially no more excuses for peeing on the carpet or running away from home because she just wanted to.

Upon celebrating her birthday, David and I have decided on making pup ice cream from four simple ingredients, which include: 

• Three 6-Oz. Containers Of Plain, Low-Fat Yogurt
• 1/2 Cup Low Sodium Peanut Butter
• One 4-Oz. Jar Banana Baby Food
• 1 Tablespoon Honey

Can you believe I learned about this recipe when I was a kid from my grandmother?

I learned how to raise my voice in anger

Yeah, but look at my face, ain't this a smile?

I'm happy when life's good and when it's bad I cry

I've got values but I don't know how or why

With this four month trip to North Carolina in hopes to relieve my son of his suppressor (the guy, my ex-boyfriend, that stole him from my parents after my mom got off her plane and then proceeded to physically and mentally abuse him in hopes of framing me so he could gain full custody), I realized who exactly I needed to hold dear and those who needed to stay away in order for my son and I to remain happy because life was beginning to get that good from the day I met David. This entire time, my heart was set on Colorado and in the end, he came back with me to live in peace and harmony.
 

Just how we needed it to make Zak's life complete.

Update 12-09-12: In case you are wondering, we won full custody of Zak and he has not seen his suppressor since early November 2011.
