As Boys Grow

I just remembered I watched this movie on tv, the Silver Screen Network to be exact. I know it is meant as an educational video but honestly it cracked me up. Part 1. Part 2. Enjoy!! Be sure to use the back arrow to return to my blog.

Where Did April Go?!?!

This month has literally flown past me. Lots of happenings and has happened!


Just found out one of my sisters will be having a civil marriage ceremony next week! WOW!!! She is getting married! I'm thrilled and excited for her as she's been through some rough times and has found ( I hope ) peace and happiness in her new hubby-to-be!! It will be a very small ceremony but they plan on having a big ol' reception/party in a year. They can't/don't want to wait to become husband and wife. And NO!! she's not pregnant! Congrats D and I wish you guys the very best of a loving, passionate, long marriage.


My eldest daughter is growing up...or I should say, has grown up, officially. She and her boyfriend went away to Cuba for an all inclusive vacation. I can't believe I have a daughter, young adult, who is acutally old enough to go away, over-night(s) without ME!! Yes!! Without me. How the time has passed! Not so long ago I was planning summer holidays, birthdays, long weekends, etc for them. Now, they go and I stay. WTH!!!


I was blessed to become the godmother for my friends son. He's the cutest, chunkiest little man ever! I stood proudly as the minister prayed for God to bless and keep him. I raffled off a pair of tickets to see a Jamaican comedy play featuring Shebada to raise funds for him at the reception. It was successful so I will use the proceeds to open an RESP, buy a savings bond or to open a savings account for him which I will contribute to. All of this to allow him the chance to have a good education when the time comes.


On a sour note...I've had some car troubles this month ( a financial nightmare ) as well, my boo had an upset tummy and puked on my iphone causing the key to malfunction and essentially my phone died. I've got a contact who claims they can fix it so that is my plan for the weekend! I didn't know I was so attached to the phone. I've been going through withdrawl symptoms. What kind you ask?!?!? Well, I swear I hear it ringing or vibrating but that's impossible as the battery is dead and its NOT charging! AAARrgghghhh!!! Fingers crossed, I'll get it fixed. Lawd knows I don't have the money right now for a new phone.


Speaking of moulla!!! Got a letter from my boss informing me of an increase and bonus!! Sweetest letter eva! Being home on maternity leave is definitely challenging but its worth E.V.E.R.Y moment!


The weather has been aMaZiNg!! I cleaned off the pation table and chairs and put them out on the porch, already!! I'll hold off another 2-3 weeks before going to the nursery for some fabulous potted flowers. And of course I can't wait to dig in the yhaaad! LOL
