Hey!
Happy Mother\’s Day to all reading my blog entry on this day. Today was a quiet day for me. I have gas in my back so bad, and its off the hook. My Sister called me and asked me to go out to dinner with her husband and his family to Ruby Tuesday\’s, but I just wasnt feeling it today. I finally made it up from lying on the couch watching movies and went to the kitchen to cook dinner for myself. I made some collard greens, fried chicken, and corn bread, it was soo good. Imma bad chick when it comes to cooking some greens………..yall betta ask somebody! lol I made a few phone calls to wish people happy Mother\’s Day.
Neisha is in Cincinnatti with her dad\’s family, her grandmother, cousins and great aunts. They lost their mom a few years ago and they always go to visit her grave site on this day. I love the fact that my daughter * Neisha* knows and loves both sides of her family. Her dad is just like me when it comes to family….. I love my friends, but aint nothing like family…..the bad, ugly, and the good. She loves her family so much she is thinking about moving to Ohio to go to Law School. I would miss her, but if she goes, Im moving to Atlanta, a place where I have wanted to move since going to a Family Reunion 18 YEARS AGO. Its been in my heart to live there for so long. When I go to that city something grabs me and take hold of me, and I love the feeling. I cant wait to go with my family for a week next June. We have already made our plans. This time if everything goes well, I want to move there. Detroit is a good city, but I see no movement. I wake up everyday just to *feel* like there is something more, but Im cold.
My favorite cousin\’s wife text message me friday and said that she was giving him a Fish Fry on Saturday which was yesterday. My back was on fiyah , so I wasnt for sure if I was going. When I came in from work yesterday around 3ish, I went right to the couch to lay down. Daddy\’s Little gurl was on Cinemax but I feel asleep for 3 hours off and on. I was so sleepy, and my back was off the hook that I went to sleep. Then about 7ish my sister Peedie called me after she woke up from her 3 hour nap, and asked me did I want to go. WE are so funny because we always make an issue out of who is going to drive, no matter if its around the corner we would make excuses to why we dont want to drive. lol She knew once she called me, she was going to drive. lol I got up and got dressed, then my brother called and he said that he was going and we all met over there. We had soooooo, soooooo, sooooooooo much fun. We ate fish, played cards, talked junk, debated, laughed, drank beer, we had a ball. There were a lot of people there and we were the last to leave in the late 2:00 am hour playing spades rise and fly. Im so happy that I went. Im always being invited to functions, sometimes I have to push myself to go……….. sometimes I just don\’t want to be bothered. Is that bad to say?
This year I promise myself to get better with it. I think Im going to plan a Chicken and Fries Fry at the very end of the Summer! LOL I can pull that off.
Im realizing that I am really different. I know we are all different. But I am very different. The way I see things and view people trips me out sometimes. I cant stand people who gossip and say stuff just because it seem right at the time. I will diss you in a heartbeat for that mess. I may call you and I may email, because I care and want to know how you are doing, but Im not dealing with people who are just plain messy. I know I make a lot of mistakes, but somethings done to me or said about me, I just dont feel the need to have a friendship with those people. I don\’t have too.
Its been almost a year since I went to Atlanta with some friends, and I hate that I even went on that trip. Sometimes I hate I even met a few of those people, I feel that deeply about it. Someone told me all the things that were happening, and it happened!!!! Everything!! I don\’t feel dumb or stupid, but I feel like Wow…….. like really Wow. How can someone totally out of our circle see all that was to see, and be right on point? How could that happen. Im tired of talking about it, reading about it, its over said and done.I\’m tired of the emails, just leave Cree the heck alone. Please!!! Pearls of Wisdom are done,we are no more. We spent a lot of time over the phone, emailing, and in person. We realized that we dont know each other well, and that we were all on another page in our lives. I will admit I am a die hard Tyler Perry fan, and will always be. Im loyal to the people I see and deal with daily, and Im loyal to Tyler\’s work. This is who I am, this is me….Lacrease. I know sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much, and it will never leave my heart and soul. Thank God can\’t nobody cut me open and get it out of me. THANK YOU JESUS FOR THAT! LOL And on that sentence….Im moving this conversation right along.
At my job weve been doing so well in sales that we\’ve gotten almost $500.00 bonuses EVERY 3 MONTHS FOR THE LAST YEAR STRAIGHT! Well we were told that if we do good and continue to keep up sales, keep the store clean, be friendly and have good customer service that we would qualify for the big bonus * on our check May 14th* which is the yearly bonus of up to $1800.00. Weve gotten $1000.00 a few years ago and we have been on a roll ever since. When we received our last bonus in March we were told that in 45 days we would know if, and how much the big bonus would be. Well when the 45 days came and went, we were all asking questions to the store manager and assistant mangers. They claim they didnt know, but one time when I asked the store manager she said somewhere between $95.00 and up. We were like $95.00 WHAT? Then she said well Im not sure, we\’ll see when the 45 days was up. Guess that was said to buy time to have to xplain this TOMORROW! Today is the day that we can go on line and find out just how much we will receive. I logged into the Walmart site when I got home from the Fish Fry, and guess how much my bonus was? Ready? $41.83. Am I mad? YES! They toyed with us for 45 days knowing full well how much we were getting. My co worker just called me and told me that our other co-worker got $6.00. My thing is this. ITS OKAY IF WERE NOT GETTING THAT MUCH, * cause next month in June we are getting another almost $500.00 bonus. But why say you dont know how much it is? Why do us like that? They knew just like they know how much the one in June is going to be. Thats just bold, and out of order. Now tomorrow morning everyone is going to go to the store manager and demand answers. We had the best inventory report in our store history last month, we are breaking records and showing increase in all areas * except customer service, lines are toooo long*.
And its alllllll okay, but just explain to us, talk to us, communicate to us, what happened. Now folks are mad come tomorrow morning and don\’t want to hear anything about improving the store at this point. The 2 stores around us got huge yearly bonuses. As far as me, I really dont have any feelings about it, I already know God is in control and its whateva.
. IM GOOD! LOL
My car is still down……….huh……. .. I need a new one, my car is an 1991 Lumina Chevy. I dont even see one in sight. I have to pick up my gurls for the meet, but God always work things out for me. Ill be patience……something good is one the way. I promise you I see a truck in my drive way with a yellow * not even my favorite color* bow around it. I dunno why I see yellow. lol My sister truck is back up, and so is my moms car. Cars been sick just as much as people. lol
Well, Im off to bed gotta be at work at 8:30 am. My gas back * hehe* is feeling much better, so thats good. Chat with yall lata.
