Proud Mother

Yesterday, my son, Prophet had graduation. He goes to a private school and they have it every year for all students that are promoted to the next grade. A ceremony with certificates, trophies, and performances. But this year, it was special to me because my son is 9 years old and going to middle school (6th grade) in August! He skipped two grades (1st and 3rd). This year he received 5 certificates (spelling award, certificate of excellence, athletic certificate for basketball, year round A-B honor roll, and a certificate of promotion) and a promotion trophy. I also received a parent appreciation trophy and a certificate. But back to my son, he is going up :). I am so proud of him, he has ALWAYS been really smart, even in pre school. He would and still does, out of the blue, say "Mama, did you know that_(insert info)_? I just look and him and think man, I didn't know any of that stuff when I was your age! I get upset with him sometimes when he does certain things because I forget that he is still only 9 years old and I have to remember that no matter how smart he is, he's still a child and is going to still do certain things like we all did when we were children. Congratulations to my little Prophet!

Ways to help the oil spill

If you are a hairstylist, barber, or dog/cat owner, you can do your part to help the oil spill. Hair absorbs oil that's why we shampoo it. My shop is collecting hair for pick up. Read up on where to donate the hair that you collect by going to www.matteroftrust.org

My debut to blogging

I just thought is was time to introduce myself to the blogging world. People may know of me, but don't REALLY know me. There are assumptions made about me & who I am because you hear one side of things, but this will be MY outlet to express my feelings and thoughts as they come to mind. I used to keep a journal when I was growing up, then I stopped. Alot of times I let things build up, then I explode. So maybe this will be theraputic for me. My blogs will be about everyday life, the good, bad, and the ugly. Just like anyone else, I WILL NOT hold anything back if I'm feeling it at the time, I'm expressing it. Just know in advance that I DO NOT make up lies, if I say it and it is pertaining to MY life, it is the TRUTH, take it for what it is. I will make you laugh or piss you off, either way, it's just a blog.......... So sit back and enjoy......
