Guess Who's back!

By -
I've got to admit something guys, my Internet has been up and running for a week now but I decided that it was time to take a break. I didn't realize how much I was missing and being missed at home and from friends and family.

While I was gone I started a book club. I love to read and hadn't been able to finish a book since I started blogging consistently. I've been getting to bed before 2am, read several magazines that have piled up over the months, joined a gym (it's time to get these muscles pumped up and toned). I'll share the pics when the time is right. I love the gym and my membership includes child care, so I take my kids with me. My oldest comes along to help out. She's enjoying the responsibility of taking care of the younger kids. The teacher is always asking if I'm going to bring her with me the next time.
I'm taking step, cardio, core building, and body sculpting classes. I love using the machines. I just pop in Jay-Z, hit the treadmill and watch the calories drop like flies. After a good workout the calories are not the only thing that will be dropping ;) You know D. is a happy camper.

While I was gone I got some love from my girl, Mrs. G over at Mrs. Grapevine and my boy Marcus over at Mind of Marcus. Check out her post about her lovely Disney trip The Happiest Place On Earth and her beautiful family pics. Also, check out Marcus's post on "I Can't Be the Only One". He talks about one of the "nasties" lingering around in the blogoshere.
Thanks for the love you guys!!!

    yaaay lisa c! it is great to have you back. my girlfriend jasmine aka jford was just asking about why she hadn't seen you around my way in a while. i told her that you were taking a break and rightfully so sis; i am sure you deserve it.

    speaking of going back to the gym, i will be returning to the gym as well within the first quarter of next year. i plan to resume competitive bodybuilding in summer 2009, but it going to take at least a year to get my size back and some. like i told jasmine, the next time i compete, my mission will be to annihilate the competition and win! i will also be posting pics in the future as well so that people from my blogosphere can keep up with my progress.

    well, it is good to have you back sis. i will see you when i see you and...oh...thank you for the love you showed me on this post.

    I've been missing you. I am so glad you're back, at had to share all my blog love with Marcus Langford.:)

    I hope you have enjoyed your break and family time. My posts have been slow, but family comes first. My son is almost reading on his own and he's just 3 years and 3 months. I had been slacking because of the blog, and now I am back on schedule, homeschooling the boy.

    I only have two children, so I can't imagine how you find the time to do anything. Anyway I should stop before this turns into a journal entry.

    Welcome back!!! Misses Ya!!!

    Hey lisa! As much as I have come to love blogging, I refuse to let it take over my life. Some days I don't blog just to step away from it. It can definitely be consuming. We all have lives that need attention paid to them, and that's what we should be doing, at least more than blogging.

    Have a blessed evening!

My Monday Morning Started At 11:00PM...Last Night!

We had to take little j. to the Doctor this morning because last night he didn't sleep good and neither did we. He kept crying and crying and wouldn't stop. We were completely thrown because he had such a good day. Could it be: 1. He's teething and it's bothering him? Yes, but a little baby Orajel and infants Tylenol should have done the trick. It didn't. 2. I ate something that didn't agree with him? Of course we couldn't come up with anything. 3. He was just so tired from everything we did yesterday and it was hard for him to fall asleep? Maybe. 4. He got bit by a bug and we didn't know? We checked all over, no bites. We even checked to see if there was a piece of hair wrapped around his little fingers and toes. None! 5. Because he's teething he could have an ear infection? Yes very possible but he didn't show the usual signs: fever, pulling at his ears (that looked like it was out of the norm for him because it's something he does often...

Inspired To Write...

The other day a friend of mine asked me, where have you been? She then proceeded to say, it's like you fell off the face of the earth. I laughed and said, "no, I've actually fallen onto the face of the earth". Girl, thanks for that little laugh, I appreciated the moment :) I've fallen onto the face of the earth and bumped right into my family, friends (old and new), business partners, business meetings, social gatherings, moms meetings, and so many activities for the kids, life has been busy. My natural journey has opened so many doors, talk about beautiful women. Sistah's who have inspired me to keep going and stay focused on the end result rather than the transitioning stage. These days I mostly wear my hair in a ponytail-bun. I don't have time to get all fancy, but when I can I'll do a two-strand twist style and use my latest product discovery, Oyin Handmade . They are very reasonable and the products smell so good. If it's one thing I...
