Word{ful} Wednesday…#52 We Support LAMA!

By -

I’m so proud of my team!! On Saturday morning me, hubby, and our two oldest put on our running shoes and with everything we had in us completed a 5K walk/run  in support of The Literacy Alliance of Metro Atlanta. It was great being able to do it as a family. We encouraged and pushed each other to make it to the finish line. You don’t know how good we felt crossing over the finish line! This was the kids first and they did absolutely great.

I turned around and captured them in action. Do you see the whole mini-me thing going on here? Serious business.

    Way to go! Sounds like it was for a really great cause. Thanks for the comments on my site. The adoption of our two girls has been the most rewarding thing I've done in my life!

    Have You Lived Today ~ Taking baby steps is the best way to go. Try walking a half mile first and build from there. Go for it and I wish you the best!

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...

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...
