hey y'all.
it's me, mama bliss.
who am i?
i'm just me. a sista tryna make it in a world that ain't always what we want it to be. but i'm honestly enjoying my time down here on earth. the good, the mad, and the you-ain't-cute-heffa! is all fine by me. everybody gotta be free to do their own thang long as it don't hurt or harm nobody, right?
so far today is a typical day. i'm blessed to be a stay-at-home momma who work when she wanna.
naw, that don't mean i'm on welfare/the dole/gettin social services to pay my way. it means i've been blessed to have a hubby who believes in what i do and how i do it. i love that man almost as much as i love key lime pie.
i have two children, one in grade school and another who graduated high school in june. these chil'ren keep me busier than a planned parenthood office on a college campus. mostly my youngest. my oldest and i don't hang out much. i met my son (my oldest) when he was 11. we get along okay but step-mommas ain't always on the top 10 list of favorite folk, ya know?
our house is for sale; we're moving south as soon as someone buys it. i was born and raised in this city but i don't like it here much any more. our house is in "tha hood" but it's cool. this is familiar territory. my husband and i both grew up less than a mile from our house.
the value of real estate in this city has skyrocketed beyond belief. although our neighborhood is still "transitioning", our house is worth roughly 2 1/2 times what my husband paid for it.
i'm excited about moving. seriously, i need a change of scenery and lifestyle. the new house will be bigger and of course, newer.
i'll have my own office, with a real door instead of a divider that separates my "office space" from the living room. my mess is messy and just flows all ovva the place on my good days. on muh bad days, it spontaneously explodes into a consortium of... well... mess.
but back to today...
i went to bed around 3 a.m. and was awakened much too early by a ringing phone. i had no clue who it was (thank Gawd for caller i.d.!) so i didn't answer. a while later (when i was more lucid and i didn't have that call-in-sick/sore-throat sounding voice) i got a call from my sista on the other side of the country. i hadn't talked to her in a while so i picked up.
i'm a dedicated multi-tasker so while i talked to her, i got out of bed, went to potty and did other starting-my-day stuff. my baby woke up and came down about an hour later. laid down on the couch and listened to me talk. (i am very thankful to be home with my pookie wookie. summer is the best time of all cuz we don't have to rush to get up in the morning.)
ah dang it! hubby is home. i guess i'll have to finish this tomorrow.
mahn-yanna y'all.
