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)

Never use SUGAR on the TRUTH….Cree’s Blog Entry
Whew, where do I start. Lord, I must Thank you for keeping me sane, and for standing near me when I was about to lose it.
I’m a busy woman. I have a lot going on in my life, and it involves communicating with a LOT OF PEOPLE. Over the years I had to cut my circle down to only those friends who are on my level mentality and spiritually. I’m a person who doesn’t use SUGAR on the TRUTH. And finally in my life, FINALLY….FINALLY…I have learned that I can be me, even if I have to be brutality honest with someone, and not lose sleep over it. I’m a person who keeps an open mind to everything. I’m always willing to listen and learn. That’s my first attraction I have to others. I’m a listener.
Today, this lady ( about my age or a little younger) came through my line with her daughter who had to have been about 24. She looked at me and with this sarcastic and FUNKY TONE and said “Hello, how are you”. The way she said it made me look up. I looked her dead in the eye and said ” Hello, I’m fine. So, I guess she realized that I knew that she was being funny. Just so happened that I was training this new guy, and as I stood there waiting on her to give me the money for her items. I noticed that she was taking a very long time. That’s when her daughter let out this loud and obnoxious laugh. I knew then, that this daughter knew her mother was acting a fool. I looked at the lady to see what was taking her so long, and I said to myself, she’s doing this on purpose. The guy that I was training noticed it, and so to “kill time” he started asking me some training questions. Afterwards, I turned to the lady to see if she was ready to hand me the money ( people in my line was staring at her like she was crazy). She was taking her own sweet time, purposely trying to set me off. So, after about 2 minutes of her digging slowly in her wallet, I knew for a fact what she was doing, and decided that since I had to wait on her, I TURN MY BODY COMPLETELY TO my trainee and communicated to him somethings about the job, OH SHE DIDNT LIKE THAT……she wanted me to LOOK AT HER, AND WAIT FOR HER. She clearly had me messed up….. I WISH I WOULD!!! Me and the trainee started talking about the different things, and when she realized that SHE WAS ON HER TIME, and that I WAS GETTING PAID and that I HAD ALL DAY……. BUT SHE DIDNT. She decided that she wanted to give me the money. Instead of her saying “maam here you go”. She screams and says ” HEREEEEEEEEEEEEE YOU GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I turned around and looked at her…… then when I went to get the money out of her hand, she had it so close to her breast that I had to reach out to get it, she didn’t want to stretch her arms out across the belt to give it to me, she wanted me to reach for it. I DID…… as I did it, I told my trainee this RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM BOTH…… Remember …. YOU SET THE ATMOSPHERE IN YOUR LINE. YOU ARE THE LEADER…….ALWAYS SMILE AND BE NICE TO PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT. She didn’t like that at all, I hand her the change and told her to have a nice day.
#GURLBYE
My point….. I’m trying to understand what is the purpose of coming into MY LIFE, and trying to add me to the ” I’m mad at her list”. Okay and…….. she and her daughter will have something to talk about in the car, then maybe tell a few others just to have a conversation. What is the point? Is this your job for today? Did you really punch Satan’s time clock today? You could have called off you know?
I have a million things to do, I have so many phone calls to return, I have to meet folks to do things for me concerning the homeless. I have money from paypal waiting to go into my account, and still I haven’t done that yet. I have money to take to my bank, people at work coming up to me with merchandise for the Homeless, I had ( I went) my great nieces BD party to go to this evening. I have to get off work and find gifts for the baby. I have so many things to do, and here comes this lady doing whatever she can to transfer her GARBAGE to me. I’m not even upset, my question is………where does this come from? I’m finding this to happen all the time. A lot I can ignore, but lately its been bad.
There is so much in this world that can be discussed to get done. So many people hungry and homeless. Don’t come barking at me…..cause this VIRGO will pull out her CANINES. Meaningless conversations kills me. I’m not about to debate or argue with anyone, either you like it or you don’t, you either will or you won’t. Conversations these days should be quick and to the point when you know what you’re going to do. I’m not about to spend 40 minutes on a topic when a person mind is already made up, Chose one and move on. Its either A or B. * blank stare*
I’m a teacher at heart. When I speak its to teach and to learn . I’m not a person who puts sugar on the truth. I carry salt in my purse NOT sugar. This lady came through my line, and she didn’t want to lift a finger. I had a lot to ring up and ask her in my nicest voice ( showing all my teeth).. “Maam, can you do me a favor and start loading your bags in your cart, so that I can have space and continue to ring?” She said ” I didn’t know I came here to work”! In my mind I laughed a little, cause I’m saying to myself…… These are YOUR items…… HELP ME HELP YOU!!!! What is wrong with that, most people will say OMG , IM SORRY….. LET ME GRAB THESE BAGS!!! Then these are the same people who will get older and want/need a person to help them, BUT when they were in position to HELP THEMSELVES they wouldn’t. These are the kind of people who feel others owe them something. SMH. I feel really bad for a lot of people. People who think others OWE THEM ARE THE WORST PEOPLE!!!
In other NEWS……. Its almost time to go and pass out dinners to the Homeless for Thanksgiving. We do this Wednesday Nov 23, 2011. We are feeding 90-100 people and I’m very excited. This year we had so many people to donate, that I didn’t get a chance to let my FB friends be apart of it. So many people sent me messages asking why didn’t I post it. I feel bad in a way, but usually my out of town friends help, and my Walmart family. They filled the need, my issue is always space in the trucks and cars. It takes a lot of space to hold 90 dinners with 3 deserts and 3 drinks. I need a truck. I hope that I can come up with some money to get me one next year before I move to Atlanta. I really need this. All I do is pray about it, so hopefully something with give soon.
Im closing for now. Remember people NO ONE OWES YOU ANYTHING!!! Do for yourself while your CAN…… cause one day you/me/we are going to get OLD, and that’s when you really cant do for yourself. Then you will feel good about receiving the help. But come on now, stop thinking someone owe you something while you are young. do what you can. Also, stop the meaningless conversations……..MAN, ITS TIRESOME AND IGNORANT. Either you like it or not, either its Yes or No, Holding a conversation about a subject you have already made your mind up on is MEANINGLESS!!!
GOD LOVES YOU!
Bullies…..Cree’s Blog Entry
Hey Fam!!!
Thank you Lord for all the Lessons I’ve learned from the Oprah’s Life Class from OWN and the LIVE WEBCAST. I have learned so much about myself, and about others that I couldn’t even write it down right away I had to let it sink in my mind, and had to think about it over and over. I really LOVED and appreciated the time she made for us to “to get it” and that’s what I did. I got it!!!
Anger~ In middle school…I use to hang with bullies so that I wouldn’t be bullied. But truth was, I was being bullied from people that I grew up with at home. I hated it too. But now I ask myself…well why did you hang with them? A part of me found some things they said to others were funny, and I love to laugh. But as I got older I realize that I laughed on account of someone being bullied and hurt.
Today, in my life I CANT STAND BULLIES!!!! I will mentally ( in such a nice way) tear away at someone who commits this act in from of me. I found out by watching Oprah’s Life Classes that this is were 95% of my anger comes from WHEN I do get it. When I see people knocking over the next person to be first in line, that’s a bully. That bothers me because it tells me that its ALL ABOUT YOU. Selfish acts bothers me. I know this gurl who is always asking someone to buy her something, but when she’s in position to buy and help out someone, she can’t do it. That’s a bully to me. This is how she lives her life. I see this a lot, and it really bothers me. But now since I realized where my anger was coming from, I have the power to control it. It was hard for me because I wouldn’t understand why I was feeling that way. I use to be a bully in my own way,
I hung out with them to keep from being bullied, then I saw that I was being bullied from the people that was outside of my school.
Its funny now how the table has turned. No matter what I do, or where I go, I am a pretty popular person. I come in contact with a lot of people. And I will NOT TOLLERATE any bullying at all!!! I understand that I have a lot of influence over people, I see a lot, I hear a lot and this is probably the reason why I HATE GOSSIP. I stand up for the underdog. I fight ( not physically) for them all the time. I’m so glad that I have a voice, and is known for telling the truth and taking up for others. I don’t stand around and watch someone go Hungary, being talked about, being bullied. I have learned too, that a lot of times I have to fall back, and that’s okay. But I’m glad that I had that experience growing up, so now I understand getting bullied, and taking up for the person being bullied. To me bullying is as simple as someone who CUTS in front of 8 people saying……… I HAVE TO GO, AND I DONT HAVE TIME TO STAND IN THESE LONG LINES, TAKE MY ORDER SO THAT I CAN GO!!! I will get FIRED and walk out before my HANDS take that customer. I will never tolerate that kind of behavior.
I’m really happy that by watching that show on Anger it has showed me an area of my life that I never understood. Now, I have a grip on these kinds of issues, when they are presented I know how to handle them without getting upset.
Be a Blessing to Someone!!!
Thank you Lord for Blessing me to be a Blessing.
People, Love and treat each other like you want to be treated. Stop being selfish……not only with money, but with yourself. And yes….. Im preaching to myself as well. Look for ways to bless someone, this life will soon pass away… and ask yourself what do you really have?
Have compassion for each other, come to an agreement. Think about the feelings of others. Stop the drama and the gossip…..it hurts people. Learn to listen, ask and answer questions. Take care of your love ones… take care of everyone who comes into your circle.
Be Blessed!

My Vent….*feeling better* Cree’s Blog
So much has been going on since I last blogged. I’m going to have to break this down to 3 parts, because each part gets deeper and deeper. When I get to the last part, you do NOT want to miss this testimony. Its real deep.
I cannot STAND SELFISH people. I’m not JUST TALKING with gifts, money, or any form of physical thing, but also with how they treat people. Selfish people are the ones always needing something, and feel that when they ask for it, they should get it because they feel people owe them something. I’m also tired of people who take, take, ask, ask and when you take, ask or need, they need to get back to you. That’s a form of selfishness and control, and those are 2 things I do NOT play. I love people, and those around me knows this, but I will diss your a@@ in a New York Minute. I can go days, months, hours, and years trying to see good in a person, but when it hit me, ITS A WRAP. I know I can be blunt and out spoken, but I have to be, because I give to much of myself, and I’m tired of people thinking just because I’m nice and sweet , that I will allow myself to be ran through the mill. I will DISS YOU FOREVER!!!
I hate to be this way, but when you look back at peoples track record all you see is BS. Like are you serious? This week alone, I have to diss 3 people. I have too. I’m cleaning house of friendships. I don’t want to see them or talk to them again. That’s it. I’m done. My life is peaceful, my home is even more peaceful. I don’t have time for that ONE WAY STREET MESS!!! All because of SELFNESS! They are TOO SELFISH!!! I’m done talking about it. Its a WRAP!!
In OTHER NEWS…..I was talking to a coworker, when this guy walked up, and stood kinda behind me. He was tall and thick and handsome. He was looking at magazines. He looked down at me and I was like ummmmmm this brother is kinda cute. I love a man who is tall and stands over me like I’m a piece of paper. So, he left, and when it was time for me to punch out, he was at the time clock too. I said oh, I didn’t know you worked here. He said yeah I work in the back, I don’t come out on the floor. So, I was like Ohhhhh ( in my sexy voice). The next day I was in subway, and he comes and ask if he can sit with me. I told him yes, we started talking, and I sensed that he was young. So I asked him… how old do you think I am? He said…. about 32. I laughed. So, I asked him how old he was. he said 20. *blank stare*. I said boyyyyyyyy, do you know how old Ms. Cree is? He said how old? I said 44. He said I like older women. Okay AND……… I DONT LIKE YOUNGER MEN!!!!!! #lilboybye
Let me wrap this up because the more I think about these people, the angrier I become. #youreouttahere!
Inside the mind of cree
