Cree’s Ramblings….Cree’s Blog :)
Hey!!Its a been a minute since my last “real
writing”. Thanking God for another day to get it right.
writing”. Thanking God for another day to get it right.
Where do I start? Okay….. my moms BD
is tomorrow June 22, and we * my sisters and brother* are taking her out to
dinner. She normally likes to eat at her favorite spot * Texas Roadhouse” but
this time she wants to go to the Golden Corral. I’m really
looking forward to it.

I was suppose to make my dad dinner for
Father’s Day, but he was mad at all of his kids, days leading up, and haven’t
been answering his phone. LOL My daddy LOVES the grand kids, but he gets mad at
us. May daddy is a trip, when asked if he still wanted the dinner, he
said….don’t make me no difference. I called him tonight, and he wanted to go
into this story of “his kids” not visiting him like we should, and that he
regret not visiting his mom when she use to ask and beg him to come over. I
asked him… “daddy do you think what you didn’t do for your mom is back around
for you”. He said he thinks so…..then I got to thinking dang…..what if
Neisha do me the same way when I’m old? LOL Something to think about huh? My
daddy is too much for me, he likes to say his little stuff and say stuff he
shouldn’t say, and then when it leaves a “bad taste” in everybody mouth, he
wonders why no one like to visit him. We take turns taking him to the grocery
store, and to his doctors appointment. I’m not a person who likes to visit, he
isn’t either, or my mom. I will call you, and make sure everything is good, but
to just sit up in your house, ….can’t do it. Now with my dad he doesn’t like
to go dinner, or come over unless its a holiday, he wants what he wants when he
want it. And I feel bad to say, but I think he is guilty of how he didn’t do for
his mom than anything. Everything he said she was, I think he feels he is. I
love my daddy, and he has gotten so much better since he and my mom separated.
But he has to cut out that “woe is me mentality.” That……I won’t deal
with.

Sistergurls, and Raisingurls. Last week me
and 9 of my Sistergurls went to the Golden Corral for dinner, talks and laughs.
It was very crowded. After about sitting for 2 hours and about 40 minutes the
General Manager came over and told us ( I was making a plate) that the time
limit to sit was 11/2 hours. “Um excuse me Sir”? Where is that sign, and when I
got back to the table, I told him that I wanted to talk with him. He knew I was
not happy, and I let him know it my “nicest and quiet, direct eye contact,with a
smile… VOICE that the ONLY reason why we are leaving is because we are done. I
let him know that when we spend our money, we can sit as long as we want. A few
of my Sistergurls didn’t take the situation well, but we left anyway, and went
walking at the Riverwalk.
We had a good night talking over the Detroit River. In
my mind, we changed something negative into something positive.

me and I feel the same. I love my gurls too. They have lots of work to do that
day besides eating. LOL Lots of paperwork and conversation.

“Hard in the paint post” …Sistergurls, and brothers don’t ignore those WARNING SIGNS from God about the person you are CURRENTLY with. God will whisper to you, speak to you, and then send people to warn you. I listened…. my ex boyfriend KILLED her…..instead of ME. I survived because……. I heard God’s voice.

Lacrease WalkerYes, true story……his OWN sister called me in the middle of the night with her husband and said that she coudlnt sleep because God told her to tell me about his past. I listened in horror, she made me promise not to tell him… AND I DID…NT. He went to jail and didnt tell me the truth as to why, but his sister told me. He met some guy in jail and hooked up with his sister ( a school teacher) and broke up with me, he wanted both of us… I was done!!! ( he was mad too) cause he didnt know why, I moved from that apartment on Mapleview to my moms house. Cause he let coming over knocking on my window. Then one day months later, I was leaving the corner store, and I looked over at the newspaper and his photo was on the front page becuase he was on the run. I was sooooooooooooooo scared. I bought the paper and read it. They finally caught him. He killed this teacher he was going with, stuffed her body in the trunk of her own car, and set it on fire. Im so glad I listened to his sister.See MoreJune 2 at 7:31pm ·LikeUnlike

Lacrease Walker‎……do you remember me? I smiled and figured that she was a customer. I couldn’t lie, I didn’t. I said “No”. She said I’m the gurl who you talked into not having an abortion at your register one day, my face lit up. She said here is tha…t baby that because of you…… is here. See, I had an abortion @ 19 when my new baby was just 3 months…I felt at that time I couldn’t take care of 2 babies. But God knew that I could. So instead I had an abortion. I let go of Fear and shame to share my story…..so that someone else COULD LIVE. Thank you Lord for FORGIVING ME.See More

Lacrease WalkerThanks FB FAm. I know it was God who sent her through my line because she probaly was on the fence about it. God knew that my shame was over and that I was the right person to talk her into having her baby. When she left that day I still fi…gured that she was going to go ahead with it, but she listened to me. So many people live in shame from what others think of them, and they make decisions based off others. And I did too back then. I worried about my parents, sisters, friends, thining they would say “She having another baby”? I didn’t want to hear that. AFter years I loved on, asked God to forgive me and never talked about it until…… my nephew came. But Thank God I at the point where I will share my hurts and pains and WILL NEVER feel no shame about it….as long as God has forgiven me, Im good. People need to understand that in their situations. Stop being so hard on yourself, God is a loving and forgiving God. Use your mistakes to HELP THE NEXT PERSON… No matter how painful. We are the people who ARE IN POSTION to help others because WE HAVE GONE THROUGH IT. Who wants to talk to someone about something and their cant even relate because they havnet experience it? Its kinda hard to relate to that person. So people, share your bad times, so in your good times you can rejoice and those same people will be right there with you. GBU all!See More

ÂHarris LawrenceZ, ii’m not surprised that the Lord would have that young lady to come share with you. That was his way of assuring you that “your labor for Him is not invain”. sometime when this happens the Lord your God may be prepairing you for the next… level of trusting him. let this event encourage you that “you may not get to see that fruit of some of your labor, but kno that “the 1 for whom we labor is FAITHFUL to fulfill ALL He has promised. Your eyes have not seen nor your mind concevied what Jesus has in store for you.If you do not grow weary you shall receive the victors crown. ii love you and pray your faith be increased.See More -

Where is the testimony without a test. I love you for t…hat. I can feel that girls love just from you telling the story. I remember having some and yes some of those and feeling like nothing. One time I didn’t want my church members to know, so I killed MY child. I will tell anybody about my situation and I dont care who is listening. I thank God for you and your honesty. You are always helping somebody with that mouth and honesty of yours. May God continue to bless you and send hurt people your way.See More

“Hard in the paint post” If a woman marries a man and she doesnt get along with the mother of her husbands kids, ( rest in the comment section)
-
-
Lacrease Walker which causes him NOT to see the kids AS MUCH/then EVENTUALLY NEVER , do you believe that the wife has influence over that situation…. WHETHER HE’S WRONG OR NOT? And do you believe that sooner or later the way he did the first set of kids he had with his ex, will be the same way he does with the kids he has with his WIVE , especially if they DIVORCE? Im seeing this more now than EVER.
-
-
ÂMichelle Hicks-StokesIn a lot of cases, daddy is still creeping with mama (the 1st one that is) because it is my opinion if it’s “about the kids” there should be no issues…..because it’s all about the kids. Daddy is the one who has to make things right on bo…th ends for it to work. New wife has to accept the fact that daddy has kids from another relationship. I’m a stepmother and it was my husband who set that tone and I haven’t had a problem with her. She tried in the beginning, but was unsuccessful thanks to him.See More -
ÂChris WellsSometimes wives do have influence over that situation. I real WOMAN wouldn’t let that happen. I real MAN wouldn’t let anyone STOP him from seeing his kids. We as HUMAN BEINGS act DIFFERENT with DIFFERENT individuals. We are DIFFERENT indivi…duals. Sometimes DEPENDING on the INDIVIDUAL we are with BRINGS out the BEST in US. OR THEY BRINGS out the WORST in US. SOMEPEOPLE KNOW how to continue to HELP individuals GROW. SOME DON’T. IN MY OPINION!!!!See More -
ÂTammy Frazier Tha new wife does have sum influence cuz she is tha wife but its on him to b part of his kids life. And yes if they did get divorced I believe he wud do tha same thing to her kids as well. Cuz once ur a deadbeat ur always goin to b a deadbeat!!!!!! -
ÂPhyllis Ann EvansYes, I believe his wife is very influencial. When going into the relationship and later commitment, the decision on blended a family should be top priority. There decision to marry should include the kids (even if it involves counseling)…. I don’t or can’t understand whey the new wife don’t or can’t get along with the kids. Perhaps the ex may play a part. But anyway, they all have to try to get along and live as family. If they decide to still plan a family, then everybody is involved…this is complicated. Honestly, I think the husband needs some backbone. There should be nothing that stops him from seeing his kids. That blood of blood and bone of his bone. And one other thing, if they are going in the marriage with prospects of divorce, then what type of commitment is it? Divorce is never an option. (only if necessary).See More

Happy Friday!!!
Â
I was so tired today. Been working lots of hours. I went Atlanta Apartment Shopping yesterday and lost my mind.LOL I am starting on one room at a time, and I bought so much stuff for my bathroom. So many beautiful colorful towels, and face towels. I bought soap to last 6 months, bathroom cleaners to last 9 months. I need to buy a few more things for that room, and then I’m moving on to the next room. I want to buy comforters, I can catch them on sale soon when the seasons change. I want to buy at least 2 more flat screen TV’s. I’m not a TV person, but I love how they dress up a room. I bought a dinette set which is nice, ppl telling me I shouldn’t take a lot of stuff with me, its gonna be hard to decide whats going to stay. WE have at least over 300 books in this house, gotta find a spot for them. When I move to Atlanta I don’t plan to buy anything when I get there, just focus on bills and learning to regroup myself. I’m a person who believes in paying bills $0.00 not having balances. I use to do that back in my 20’s pay on this, pay on that, next thing I knew I had shut off notices. Naw, aint trying to see those days anymore. LOL Shopping was really fun.
Â
Â
Â
I can have a conversation with someone and say “the sky is so blue today” and that person can later tell someone “me and Cree were talking today and she said the sky is so blue today”. That 2nd person will come to me and say….yeah such and such told me that you said earlier that “the sky is so blue”. And I sit there like “Are you serious”………did you just repeat something that is really nothing. Just because Cree said it, its now TRUE and a big deal. That burns me up. This lady son came up to my job, and her son was very handsome, so I told her. she went right to another associate and told her what I said, and then added, that’s why I don’t want him up here, I don’t need nobody looking at him like that, he’s a baby. First of all, That was a compliment for YOU, LOL not for me a 44 year old, against your 18 year old, OMG!!! Are you serious, serious? That’s what I go through every now and then. But I’m good, guess its the God in me they see.

I was going through my photos of friends that I’ve known for ever, and family who I would like to post. I love them all.

She was at a resturant one day and he was standing outside on the phone, her crazy self walked up to him while he was on the phone and tried to hold a conversation with him… LOL of course about his work. Anyway….she’s a Virgo too, she knows we dont like to be interupted while talking on the phone. I love this photo of her, she looks SO PRETTY!! I LOVE YOU MONICA! ( The photo below is also her)

My Coworkers at a WHITE PARTY!!! I LOVE THIS PHOTO OF THEM
.10
You know it takes a special person to be able to deal with customers. LOL People stop and ask me…….how do you deal with these people and their attitudes? I know its God, because it sure aint Cree. You know I try to do the best I can, and everyday I make sure that I stay focus and smile. I just can’t stand around and frown over situations I can’t handle or control. People are challenging, especially the ones who love to tell you that they can take their money elsewhere. That’s why I love and enjoy working with the homeless people and teens. I get the best feeling in the world.Â
Today this man came through my line today and he cashed in a bottle return for .10. I was almost in tears. Anytime I’m faced with a situation like that, I have to analyze it. This man only had one MICHIGAN returnable POP/BEER can and got .10 off it of. That dime must have meant a lot to him because he needed it to go with whatever other money he had to make his end meet. But then I get ungrateful, arrogant customers that don’t even see what I see, so that they can change the way they see things. I wanted to hear his story, I want to hear how he got into his situation. I can tell he was homeless or not doing to good. Those are the people that I enjoying working with and talking too.
Â
One day this black gurl came through my line and she was telling me that she was pregnant and going to have an abortion. And instantly I thought about my abortion and how bad I felt about it. I was embarrassed and ashamed at the time. I wasn’t even going to tell Neisha’s dad about it, but I needed him to go with me. Nesha was 3 months old when I got pregnant again…… I couldn’t tell my parents, or his family. I couldn’t believe that it was happening, so we had an abortion. When this young gurl was telling me that she was going to do the same thing, right there at the register I started talking her out of it. I told her that I thought I wouldn’t be able to make it financially, but I now realized that I could. I didn’t want her to do this, because I know when she got my age she would feel bad about it and hate that she made that decision. So, anyway she left the store. Almost a year later I was sitting at Subway inside of Walmart having lunch, when she walked up to me and said “Hi, do you remember me”? I smiled and said “No”. She said I’m the gurl who you talked out of having an abortion, here is my baby!!! OMG I cried like a baby!!! I cried!! I cried!!! It had been a while since I’ve seen her. She let me hold the baby and everything. She told me that she was happy that she listened to me, because she LOVED her baby so much. Can you imagine how I felt? At that point I knew that I was one of “those ladies” that when I was a young gurl I listened too. All the older ladies use to talk to me, I don’t know what it was about me that made them approach me and talk me to death. LOL But I felt like that, and it was a good feeling. I really hope to see her again. The point is, that I had to give up my fears, secret, shame and embarrassment just so that someone else could live. And I’ll do it again for the next woman who is thinking about an abortion. I’m happy.
Â
Â
Tomorrow I’m going HOUSE SHOPPING. I like to stack up on household items. These things are for when I move to Atlanta next year. I am going to lose my mind with some of the things that I have on my list. When I get to Atlanta, all I want to focus on is a JOB. I don’t plan to run out of anything at all…..period. I only plan to buy food when I touch down. My cabinets are going to be jammed pack!!! LOL
Â
I want to work under a Visionary who knows what they want and how they want it done….for the experience. I enjoy behind the scenes stuff….I’m a Virgo so you know we work out of EXCELLANCE! Haha. I know exactly what I want to do……….but I’ll keep it to myself.

Hey!!!
Â
Thank you Lord for a wonderful day. I had a very interesting/beautiful week again….. 2 of my ORIGINAL RAISINGURLS GRADUATED…..YEAAA. They are both my nieces and I am so proud of them. Then Thursday of this week, my other niece go off to her Prom. I am really, really proud of these kids, some are getting it that you don’t have to settle for any job, finish high school and then go to college to get a degree. I think next year I’m going to sponsor a few graduates. Some parents are finding it hard to come up with money for everything that these kids need, I know lots of stories and I’m happy that God came through for the families.
Â
In other news…….. Yesterday at work was a busy one, lets just say that. And as I was leaving I was talking to my Asst Manager and another manager, just so happen we were by the exit door, I had already punched out and just stopped to chat. After we finished I walked away, and one of the door greets approached me with a customer. The greeter was white and the lady was black. He said to me are dogs allowed in the store? I said “No”. So I guess the lady thought that since I was black I would tell her differently. After I said “No” pets aren’t allowed. She looked at me and said “but why she’s in a tote”? I said Maam, when you walk into a store they have “HOUSE RULES” and one of them are “No pets”. She just stared at me like she couldn’t understand what I was saying. Then she said “well I bought the tote from here”. I said maam, when they say “No pets” they mean you cant have them in your purse, your bra, your shirt, …….I said they don’t want PETS in the store period! LOL Baby what did I say that for…she stared at me and then turned to the manager to ask them why she couldn’t bring her dog in the store. LOL I’m never the person to sugar coat anything. I don’t live my life like that. When you sugar coat the truth you “keep people stupid”. That’s another reason why I Thank God for teaching me how to talk to people. I like to break it down and when I do, it may be rough but its the truth. Some people just don’t like to follow the rules, and they look for ways to be crafty with it, I recognize it and I will shut it down.

Hey!!!                      (Me and Neisha 5/28/11)Â
What a wonderful day/week/month it has been. Today was one of my quiet days at work, don’t know if it was because I had to work on the holiday 8:30-5 or what? My coworkers always think something is wrong when I’m quiet……because I’m always laughing and talking my junk. I love them and they love me. LOL
Â
Saturday night me and my coworkers about 20-25 total ppl went on a MIDNIGHT CRIUSE over the Detroit River on the Detroit Princess boat. We had a good time too. That’s where the photo above was taken with my daughter Neishia. My coworkers said “They finally got me out”. LOL I can be such a nerd at times, you just have to be careful of your surroundings, and I’m not into going out like I use too, I have to really trust the person who is giving the function and the atmosphere. It was nice, very nice. We had so much fun laughing, dancing and talking that we didn’t even realize that the boat had finally taken off. There were so many people on there……..we had a ball.
Â
A few of my Sistergurls from my group called me and asked me to do a dinner or breakfast outing. On June 12, were going to dinner, and having gurl talk . And on June 26, I’m having a meeting with my Raisingurls @ Applebees. We seriously need to talk. They’re like………about what? LOL I’m not mentioning a word. Then on July 23, me and my cousin put together our 3rd “cousin gathering” to be at a neighborhood water park…….this place is NICE. My sister went down to the city of Grossepointe and did the paper work for that day, and we are excited. I enjoy planning, maybe that’s my calling. I enjoy gathering people together and being behind the scenes. But I’m always wanted “upfront” for some reason. I’m the kinda person who wants no credit, no bows, no mention, just behind the scenes and I’m good. I can’t stand attention, and too much will run me away. I enjoying being low key. But why do I ALWAYS END UP BEING THE GO TO PERSON? LOL I guess its all good, and hopefully it will take me somewhere …..and get paid for it. Hahaha

Several times last week, I saw this guy I use to kick it with. We are very good friends, normally we talk over the phone, or facebook. But lately he’s been coming up to my job, where it seems I’m spending 70% of my life. LOL As I was listening to him talk to me, I kept on thinking about the time when I begged God to let him be my husband. It was about 12 years ago. We hit if off so well, he is my baby to this day. I have mad love for him. But as he spoke, I was thinking to myself….wow……..how could I EVERRR in my life ask God to let him be my husband, he is so NOT La’Crease. He’s handsome, has a very good job, not stable ( cant make up his mind about ANYTHING) which drives me crazy. I’m still trying to figure out why I wanted to be this man’s wife. UGH!! Thats why I Love God so much because he knows whats best for us. All that time I was praying and asking God to let him be my husband, when he knew he was not the one he had for me. I have never asked God for someone to be my husband since him. I’ll let God do all that for me. Matter of fact I don’t even think about that, I do remember it being time consuming. LOL

Only one other person who I wanted to marry and that was Neisha’s dad. UGHHHHHH never in a million years. I mess with her sometimes saying “gurl I wouldn’t let your daddy tie my shoes if they needed to be tied”. She laughs. We are very cool, but Lord Jesus, what was I thinking? LOL Whoever he has for me will come for me, and I will never ever have to ask God about him. Â
When I was a young gurl, we lived next door to this wonderful family, and one of the gurls who lived there was named Lynn. Lynn (PHOTO ABOVE) Â was so sweet, she’s about 3 years older than I am. She loved me, she loved people period. When she went out with her friends, she sometimes asked if I could go. My mother loved and trusted her, so she would let me go. Lynn took care of me, she always made sure I ate, and that I was okay, that I was home at a decent time. And I never forgot about that. She took care of kids, and teenagers, she would talk to us, and she was very smart. I love Lynn so dearly. Well, yesterday was her Birthday and I left her a very sweet message, then I got to thinking what I promised myself I would do when I got older. I said that I would take care of other young gurls, and talk to them and treat them just as she treated me. AND THATS WHAT IM DOING!!!! OMG. God bought it to my remembrance yesterday. I forgot all about what I said that I was going to do when I was in position to do what she did for me. I help so many young teens, and talk to so many of them. I just want to see then make it in this world, no matter what situation they’re faced with, they can make it.Â
I had Neisha at 19 and turned around 3 months later and got pregnant by her dad. I didn’t tell anyone but him and even though he really didn’t want me too, he knew that I was serious, and had an abortion. I thought that people were going to talk about me and say that I’m fast. I thought that people were going to tell me how hard it was going to be with 2 children. I thought my family was going to raise the roof on me and dog me out for being “stupid”, but little did I know this would only hurt me in the long run.It was all in my MIND. My mother and father wouldnt dare let me have an abortion if they knew that, and they would have supported me. It was a trick of the enemy that had my keeping that secret that later bothered me to no end that I had killed my baby. The person I am today, I would never listen to that voice, this is my story and my issue, I would NEVER kill my baby, because I’m afraid of what others may think or say. And so this is why I enjoy talking to young gurls, because of the MANY mistakes I made. This is my life, this is who I am. I love doing this, its my passion.

Saturday night on the Detroit Princess boat…. one of my coworkers ( NINA PHOTO ABOVE) saw me and sat at our table, she started hugging me and wouldn’t let me go. Saying how much she appreciate my talks that helped her, ( caught me totally off guard). She said Cree I love you, she said all those 3 minute talks at the register really helped me, you helped me a lot to calm down, and really think about things and decisions, she said cause there were times when I was going to go off. She said I love you , and you just don’t know how much you have helped me. I was about to cry, cause it was out of the blue. I call her “mini me” because she reminds me of me when I was her age. She’s going to the Navy in August and I’m going to really miss her. I know I talk a lot to the gurls but I never knew she/others really listened……… I hoped that they did. LOL Then later she wanted to take a photo with me and she was very happy that she got a chance to say this to me. I don’t see her at all, because she works the overnight shift, so I’m happy we had that chance to talk.Â
Well. I’m closing for now. I have lots more to say about different things, so I may post another blog entry. Night!
