A time to HAVE YOUR OWN…La’Crease’s Blog

When I was coming up my momma always taught me/us to have our own. My mom would borrow sugar, floor from our neighbors back in the day, but our neighbor borrowed way more, and my momma would say, always have your own stuff so that you won’t have to borrow from anyone. It was good information to know, but when I got on my own for the first time, shooo, seems like I always needed something. I would borrow money from my friends, and no telling what else. But now that I have grown up…. I enjoy being the Lender.

A friend came to me last week and told me about someone I know, and for me to talk to this person because they are always asking others for  things that are suppose to have. I haven’t talked with this person yet, but I will this week. I guess what I’m writing to say is…  work towards having your own. There is nothing like having your own car, money, house, job, personal needs, and anything else that you need to have and get by.

People are willing to help you more if you are known for helping yourself. After a while people will start to look at you as a person who always want something, and it will start to look as if you feel someone owes you ….and they don’t! When you have your own things it puts you in position to be a blessing to to others, instead of always looking for someone to bless you. When people realize that you are a MISUSER, you will look up and see that no one is there for you, and you will be force to learn the hard way.

One day (1995) my friend Gloria asked me if she could see my purse calender to check a date, she was horrified to see all of her check dates and other dates that she received money on, was checked off on my calender. We laughed for years about it, but she cut me off from borrowing money because she realized that since I knew her check days, I was asking her for money on those days. And even though I always paid her back, my days of borrowing from her was cut short. I MISUSED her. I’m finding that a lot of people do this to each other, they don’t want to do whats necessary to keep themselves supplied so that they can have their own. They find it easier to just borrow. But I’m here to tell you, your “Credit” with folks will wear out, and you will be on your own. Only borrow from others when its truly necessary, and God will soften their hearts for you, so that you won’t go without.

There will be times, places, things that you will have to sit out on, and that’s okay. Don’t feel that its a must that you do everything you want, but because you want it, you have to borrow. Learn to sit some things out. When you borrow, pay it when you say you can, and if you can’t CALL THAT PERSON, don’t text, or send a message by someone else. Keep your good credit up with folks so that when you really need something, they will see it in your eyes, and in your speech, and in your heart, and God will lay it on them to help you. When you have your OWN, you are NOW in position to  HELP OTHERS. That’s the biggest picture that God wants us to get.

Photo above is of my personal bag I carry to work with me daily, I have everything I need to start my day. If I need to borrow anything from a coworker….. I’m good for it, because I’m known for having my own, and paying up on the day that I say I will.

Below is a Video of me riding home ( I love to drive) from picking up a donation for the Homeless last month.  Listening to Karen Clark-Sheard and Kierra Sheard. I love THIS SONG!! Be Blessed.

Dont allow your kids to talk back …Cree’s Blog

Hey,

Whats up people with the attitudes during the Christmas Holiday? You know and I know how long the longs are, and we are all trying to buy what we want and get out of dodge. Man…..it was several fights and countless arguments at my store this season. LOL A few of them was funny. I was ringing up customers and laughing at the same time today. I couldn’t stop, I kept having laughing out burst. LOL Everybody is so sensitive. The part that trips me out is, these people KNOW what its like during this season. They know there are no good parking spaces, they know the aisle are going to be crowded, they know toys will be hard to find, they know people don’t move or say excuse me. LOL Still they act is if its their first Christmas and they don’t know what to expect. I laugh and I have nothing to say…LOL

What is going on with our kids today? Why are these parents letting them get away with smart mouths? I use to tell my Sister all the time, when you let your kids walk around the store while you shop, or let them “express” themselves, when they are older you can’t get them to shut their mouths. I hate to see my sister going head up with my nephew, I don’t care how grown he is, I will say something.  Call me the whopping momma, but theygurltheycallcree don’t play with kids. As a parent, you must say what you need to say, let them know you are not mad, you’re not holding anger, and let them go on by their business. Don’t sit there and preach, then turn around and ask them how they feel, or what do they think about the situation. Hell its over. I’m done. Then as they get older, they will start to feel that they must tell you how they feel, and guess what? When they were kids it was “cute”, but when they are 17 and 18 it comes out totally different . MY thing is this, everybody gets a turn to “be grown”…  its MY TURN. And when your turn comes, you be grown to YOUR kids. Right now, I’m the “plant manager” aint nobody gon out talk me in MY house, on MY subject. *hard stare…lips almost to the side*.

Just today at work this Chinese couple was at the register paying for their things,  when their daughter who was no older than 5 starting screaming and crying acting a dayum fool cause she wanted something and couldn’t have it. This little gurl screamed so loud, long and continuously that it didn’t make no sense. Her daddy wanted to lay her to rest, BUT the momma was like No….. then the little gurl did something that almost took me outta here mentality……she was hitting her momma, screaming, kicking. Everybody was looking, and staring, and saying everything. It was a shame how that gurl cut up in Walmart today. Had that been Neisha back in the day, I would have shut Walmart down for at least an hour. Think you’re going to embarrass me in the store, OH BABY…..WE’SSSS ABOUT TO TURN WALMARKS ( with an K) OUT!!!!! LOL But she’s a good gurl, she learned EARLY. HAHA

Which leads me to this video and topic. How do you let your kids talk back to an adult? I’m 44 years and I call ALL my coworkers Ms.  How do you disrespect an adult and you’re a kid? The mother is just as bad!!! Anyway take a look at this video, it has a LOT OF CURSING IN IT, (beware) BUT IT HAPPENED AND ITS REAL LIFE.  I am LOVING THE END RESULTS! The kids didn’t die, but they did learn a lesson (hopefully). Take a look

Doing….Ms. Walker~ Cree’s Blog

Thank God its Friday!!! Been doing a lot of thinking lately about myself. And I have come to the conclusion that I think about helping everyone else but myself. I don’t even know how I came to this place, but for the last week I’ve been very quiet and just watching the things I say and how I go about my life.
Last Thursday when we got our bonus, I bought myself a laptop. I put it in our layaway and when it was time to get it out, I had a hard time accepting the fact that this was for me. I spent $500.00 on me and I was having a hard time with it. I haven’t told anyone about it, as a matter of fact when my sister was over, I actually hid it before I opened the door for her. But she came right in and told me that she and her husband was buying a NEW car within the week. She was happy and I was happy for her, but why can’t I be happy for myself? Its not like I don’t feel like I deserve it, but I feel that I can be doing for others. I feel like I have things, and God has Blessed me.  I dunno 😦
Here it is a week and a day later, and still I haven’t shared with anyone the new laptop I bought for myself. Truth is, I believe that I should be buying family and friends $500.00 worth of gifts. But how did I come to this conclusion that I should be doing that for them, when I need want and desire this laptop. Why can’t I just be happy and enjoy it? One thing I know for sure, this cannot go on into 2012.
So many things God told me in the past that was going to happen has came to pass. And then there are things that haven’t came and to me it seems as if I’m hindering those things.  As if, I’m scared for them to happen for me. That is so crazy. Where does this kinds of crazy thoughts come from?
Anyway enough of that…… I have sat for 3 days quietly, its been 8 days since I bought the gift for myself and from this day forward I will not feel undeserving of the Blessings from God, I will accept them and be glad about it. I promise to do things for myself as I continue to Bless others, I will let God do his work, and I will be THANKFUL!!

At 44, its funny that all of my gurlfriends have fake names. Mines is Lisa. I only use it when I meet a guy who I’m not feeling. Still to this day, I use it. One day this guy came through my line and asked me my name…..why did I say Lisa… forgetting that my name badge was on. LOL SMH

I have a word for everyone who shops.

When a cashier is ringing up your items, take the time to look up and see for yourself what you owe. Yes, she will tell you the amount…. no problem it is her job….but at some point when you have to ask 4 times, you have to want to look up. I’m not being mean, but sometimes we get so use to others telling us the time ( wear a watch), picking up money when it falls ( do it for others too), opening the door to the store ( let someone else walk in first and YOU hold the door). People think just because you’re punched in and on the clock, you’re suppose to THINK for them all day until you punch out. And I say this….. do for yourself while you can, because Lord forbid if you get into a car accident you can’t do anything for yourself. Those people who are helping you will remember that when you were in position to help yourself…. you didn’t, because you relied on others to do everything. And at some point you’re going to feel bad ( if you care).

When I go to bed at night, I try to get as much sleep as I can, so that when I go to work, I can have enough “brain juice” to function with. Now I will share 30% with others who choose not to use theirs. But dang boo, when I’m entering that 7th hour at work, and you’re asking me simple questions like “are these all my bags”,or “where are my bags” when the spinner is right there and you can clearly see for yourself, you GOTTA HELP ME……HELP YOU. Or when they ask “where is the bathroom” when its right in your face. At some point in the day… my “brain juice” will get low…. I won’t allow NOBODY to use up mines while they still have theirs.Im a teacher first, I will show you how to do things for ya self. LOL LOL Are you serious? Then at the end of the day when its time for me to go home, I’m tired, talking crazy, and missing my exit off the freeway cause people asking stupid questions and expecting me to answer them…..leaving me with 1% of “brain juice” to get home on. LOL Nah. Now I don’t mind sharing( helping you cause you don’t want to think on your own), but if mines is used up, and you still have some left that’s not right. * blank stare*. So people please use your heads on simple stuff. Don’t come right in the door and ask…..where is your soap? What kinda stuff is that? I’m in this huge store pointing in directions we both cant see. Then that’s another % of my “brain juice” gone. LOL Sigh….

So…. Thursday we got a bonus!!! I paid some bills, put some aside for Christmas gifts, and then I bought me a very nice laptop. I have a desk top for my home office, but I like to write in different places. Being in my office all the time does something to my thinking process, so now I can go to the river, or downtown to write. But the issue is… I feel bad that I bought myself something when its this close to Christmas. I feel as if I should have spent it on Christmas gifts.I need to get out of that space where I feel bad for buying myself stuff. So….. today when my sister came over….. I hid it.After she left, I kept asking myself why did you do that? Why did you do that Cree?   So the next time my sister(s) come over, I’m not hiding my stuff. But check this out, my sister tells me TODAY while she was over, that this week she’s buying a NEW car. So why the hell am I hiding stuff? SMH @ myself. LOL I LOVE MY SISTERS AND BROTHER SO MUCH!!!!! 🙂

Oh well, time for bed….. Jan-July Feeding the Homeless projects going down!!!!

Inside the *crazy* Mind of Ms. Walker

Inside the *crazy* mind of Ms. Walker (La’Crease) RANDOM INTRO

Before I get into “Inside the mind of Ms. Walker ( La’Crease), I want to tell  a little about myself.

I am a person who loves people, I have a 4-5 piece circle of close friends, and if anyone who knows me would describe me AS…  FUNNY/SILLY, HONEST, TRUTHFUL, LOYAL, AND SPEAKS HER MIND. I’m a cashier at walmart, im very independent, loves the lord and fear him. im the oldest of 4 children, they call me bossy, but they love me and treasure my advice. im a friend to the homeless, cant stand bullies, and will diss you in a new york minute, when i realize that you are dishonest with my friendship. when i walk into a room i…own it…..not nene leakes (LOL) with my smile, personality and the friendly tone of my voice.

i love the elderly, treasure our teens, and find it hard to understand the mentality of our women and men. opinions are nothing to me…..unless you are out and about doing something to change the situation. homeless people are my mission, if i catch someone talking down on them, laughing…..or even saying”they could get a job” its on! my favorite person in the bible ( of course other than jesus) is paul… if paul was here on earth…. WE WOULD BE BFF For LIFE..when i say i love this man… i love this man!!!

being friendly is a plus to my personality, because all my childhood friends remember me as being mean, praise god that is no longer my life. what makes me memorable? the fact that im not afraid to show my feelings. im very affectionate, and uses the words boo, baby, sweety, mommas gurl, suga, honey, and pretty face to pretty much everyone i come in contact with. i cant stand gossip, if you have a story to tell, tell me, but it must includes you. if its about someone else, tell it to your best friend….she’ll understand your motive… i wont.

i love to drive,  when i marry, i want my husband to buy me a fast car, and every now and then when i have a need for speed, i promise to be safe. i want and desire a husband to be himself at all times, trying to please cree off falseness will get us in trouble. i believe that the best friends in your life are the ones you already have. one thing i hate the most in life is….looking into the eyes of a woman and seeing fakeness.women should always have a spirit about them that is trust Worthy and honest.

i believe that if you’ve had a bad childhood, you will either grow up and do good, or do bad….i say to the good…..good for you…. to the bad….allow me to help you.

with all that said….lets begin a random series of Inside the mind of ms. walker (la’Crease)
