I Love Days Like These...

By -
Yesterday, was my day off. And I enjoyed it throughly! It was one of those days where I didn't do what I was "supposed" to do and did everything I wanted to do..lol. Well....almost.
But before my day started yesterday on Wednesday night I decided to end the night curled up in my bed with a chick flick. So I choose, P.S. I love you. Have ya'll seen it?

I've been wanting to watch it for the longest time now but haven't had the opportunity.
Guess it's one of those "me time" things that I kept pushing back for one reason or another. You know how we do, shame..shame. So, I put the movie in, pressed play and I don't remember when I fell asleep but when I woke up the movie was still playing, D. was up with the little one trying to put him back to sleep for the past hour. That must have been some really good sleep because I didn't hear a thing. I'm not saying that it was the movie's fault because I was really enjoying it. I guess watching the back of my eyelids was better..lol.

Well, yesterday I got to watch the whole thing and I Loved It!! If you haven't seen P.S. I Love You yet, it's a must see. If you like watching girly flicks. Just be prepared to have a box of tissue..because you're gonna need it, some nail polish and whatever you use to style your hair. For some reason I was inspired to give myself a new do and paint my nails red. Don't worry, I was really careful with the curling iron.

Daddy, Dave Dave (my 8 year old), and little joshy (20 months) cooked dinner. Dave Dave is now learning how to cook, seems like he's been waiting for this all his life. While they did that we girls hung out upstairs polishing nails, doing hair and singing our hearts out to Alicia Keys, off key at times. But that didn't matter, they like hanging out with their hip and cool mamma. It's ok with them when I'm being hip and cool in the house, not out...lol.

When was the last time you took a day off just for you?

    I have not seen that movie.

    Well, I really don't take days off because I am too much of a control freak! I do have days that I don't lift a finger to cook or clean and I laze around or hang out with the family. Now the hubby left this am to go to VA for 2 days, so the girls and I will have a sleepover and watch TLC and Food Network while we feast on junk and giggle over absolutely nothing. That's time off for me! I hope you have a great weekend!

    Girl, I never get a day off just for me... EVER... BUT I must say P.S. I Love you is a GREAT GREAT GREAT Movie. It's now on my favorites list... Poor Rodney hates how many times I watch it over and over again. I'm currently reading the book and its much different from the movie but it's really good so far.

    Ohhh, I love this post Lisa. I seek peace at all costs. Peaceful relationships, surroundings, rest, etc. And it sounds like you were totally engulfed in it for a while there.

    Love Dad and the boys cooking and you and the girls singing off key (and probably LOUD). My daughter and I used to do that well, LOL.

    I've never seen that movie, I may have to try it. Nothing like a good chick flick!

    Days off are necessary for sanity sake.

    I loved your post. It is a great reminder that sometimes we just need to unplug. I know that I need to do this more in my own life. I think that I need to take a P.S. I Love You break like you. Great post.

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...
